Penn’s Table recently took 5th place in Fox Philly’s Hot List contest for Best Breakfast in the Philadelphia area.

Penn’s Table: Where the locals go. duh.

Located in the heart of historic downtown West Chester and across the street from the Chester County Courthouse, you will find a casual American eatery that brings comfort and hospitality to those who dine there. Penn’s Table Restaurant offers a delicious menu of home cooked fare the way Mom used to make it. The local favorites include; Homemade Soups, Famous Chicken Salad, In-House Roasted Turkey and “hot-off-the- griddle”, thick French Toast and Buttermilk Pancakes, just to name a few.

Penn’s Table serves breakfast all day, everyday, along with a daily lunch menu and dinner on Thursday through Saturday. Enjoy sitting in a cozy booth, dining outside in the warm weather or experiencing the “counter culture” for a conversation or a front row seat to see all the action.

Being a family owned and operated restaurant, the staff is dedicated to providing excellent service combined with delicious food in a relaxed and personal atmosphere for all who walk through their door. This is the place where the customer’s fill up the “wall of fame” and the staff knows your name!

If you haven’t been to Penn’s Table in a while, treat yourself to a restaurant experience that has set the standard for West Chester since 1952.

    Best breakfast in town, hands down. The staff is young, friendly and always willing to talk with you. Sit at the counter for the real deal.

    If you want a true West Chester landmark try Penns Table for breakfast. I try to go there in the winter when it snows. Everyone is friendly and it’s mostly locals. The food is wholesome and reasonable.

    Penn’s Table is a must for West Chester foodies. The following are bullet pointed notes for the readers’ pleasure:

    - Great diner atmosphere but in a non diner area.
    - My fav is the french dip style roast beef sandwhich. When I was for horseradish, wait staff always politely asks, “sauce or cream”
    - Wait staff note: very attractive and friendly ladies”
    - pickles always fresh
    - While waiting for freinds, enjoy the newspapers on the front stoop - veru old school and cool.
    Overall, this is a very friendly place with great diner style food. I even like the placemats that adversise local businesses.

    Overall - on the “diner food scale” We give honorably give Penn’s table 9.1 “THAT BLUE YAK” stars out of 10. Keep up the great work Penn’s Table.

    A true favorite of mine. The service is always great, and you can’t get a better meal for the price. Two people can easily have dinner for $15 or less. Try the grilled reuben, it’s fantastic!

Review Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
