Top 5 local diners
As the jingle goes, "Everyone knows the Melrose," but did you know that Philadelphia alone has 25 real diners? Beyond city limits, you'll find dozens more. Here's five that will give you a good sampling of what a truly great diner has to offer.
Trolley Car Diner, Mount Airy, Pennsylvania
- Bob's Diner, Roxborough. Pound for pound, Bob's will give you about the most authentic diner experience in the region. Justifiably popular, especially on the weekend breakfast shift, Bob's gives you big portions served up by well-seasoned waitresses in a down-home, vintage diner atmosphere. Visually, it gets no more interesting either given that the diner sits right in front of a cemetery right on the main drag.
