Fairlane Grill

Great local breakfast place. Go early on weekends or you will wait in a line out the door. Menu is nothing special but what they do they do well. My wife loves the chicken wraps. I like the grilled pastrami/​corned beef sandwiches. The four stars is four a group of four or less — there just is not seating available for larger groups. I can walk here and plan on going back for years.

Home town diner with excellent breakfast/​brunch/​lunch! Great spot for adults and children! Although in need of a bit of a face lift the service and food made up for lack of appearance. I like to see little local places like this do well :) Definitely will be back!

When i lived in Springfield Township the Fairlane Grille was called Hazel’s Lunch Shop and was famous for flavored coca colas. They always served a great meal and now visiting the Fairlane it is comforting to see some good from years ago goes on. I love the updates that were done inside and i am quite sure they will have an ever growing following cause quality will keep bringing people back every time. The dishes they serve you can see the «love «that goes in to each and every one. I just wish i could get the flavored coca cola’s again. A chocolate coca cola is to die for.

Really enjoyed stopping by this cute and quiet diner. It’s not much to look at, and their booths are in need of some fixing, but the food and service were both great!
We brought our two toddlers to breakfast one morning during the week and the waitresses were attentive and wonderful. Even one of the chefs came out to see our twins and say hello.
The food came out quickly and was quite good. The hash browns are actually potatoes cut up. I got a veggie egg white omelet and it was cooked perfectly – my husband got an omelet too and was happy with his. The kids enjoyed their shared pancake, which had a surprise of powdered sugar on top.
They only have space for a couple boosters they can put on the seat in the booths, and they also offered a high chair that straps to the end of the table. The boosters worked for kids nearly 2 but I would have been uncomfortable if they were younger because there was nothing to strap them to the seats.
Overall a good experience and a tasty meal! We will be back!

My co-​worker and I were in the area for work and I saw this place as we were looking for somewhere to grab lunch! It was a cute little diner, in my opinion. The staff was super nice. We got there around 1:30pm and was able to get a booth right away. I got the BLT on marble rye with fries. My co-​worker got the Italian hoagie wrap. I loved my sandwich! It was so good, nice thick cut bacon and thick slices of tomatoes! The fries were okay, I think they were a little too cooked. This place had a huge menu and they advertised homemade milkshakes! Overall, definitely a great place for lunch.

The food was absolutely delicious. the apple struessel bread pudding was to die for. I kind of got the feeling that we weren’t wanted there. I agree that they favor their regulars, but while enjoying a really delicious meal with my husband I was very uncomfortable. I asked for a cup of water and after the waitress wiped her nose with her hand she sat the water on the table and walked away in a huff. Although I would really love to go back because of the quality of the food I doubt it the service was really poor. I don’t attribute everything to race but I was very very uncomfortable

Hasn’t everyone been to the Fairlane Grill in Erdenheim at one time or another? … Or does it just seem that way? The Fairlane Grill is your classic main street breakfast and lunch spot replete with counter and booths and hearty food. It’s been around for ever because it fills a comfortable niche for people looking for a friendly place to eat their favorite sandwich or omelet. My recommendation is the Rachael Sandwich. The sister to the Reuben Sandwich is in mind better than its older brother because of the cole slaw substituting for the sauerkraut and corned beef being used instead of the fattier pastrami. At Fairlane Grill it is made perfectly. Give it a try! Just remember this is a cash only place.

First time at this diner and we were impressed! Delicious food and friendly service. We are looking forward to the next time we go back.

Don’t normally post reviews but this little corner diner is outstanding. Stopped for breakfast while on a business trip. Nothing fancy but a wide range of down home, well prepared breakfast selections for everyone. Very hearty portions at very reasonable prices. Service can’t be any more courteous and accommodating. Don’t miss this gem of a diner!

Breakfast this morning was on point! I got an omelette that was done perfectly-​not dried out, not too wet. The home fries were delicious, even the toast was good! My friend had the sausage, biscuits and gravy that looked amazing. Prices were decent, coffee was plentiful. The place is small so I can see that lines have the potential to get out of hand. Cash only– they make a point to post that everywhere so no pulling out the plastic. Parking is all street parking in a residential area. Highly recommended. They don’t have evening hours… so think breakfast/​lunch.

This place is amazing and adorable! We’ve been coming every weekend since moving to the Flourtown area and always have a great experience. The staff is friendly, attentive, and service is speedy — the food always hot and fresh. Don’t forget cash! No cards here. Well worth the trip! (We haven’t yet tried their milkshakes, but im positive they won’t dissapoint!)

Nice neighborhood joint for breakfast and lunch. Cheerful place both in terms of the people and the surroundings. Big windows and good natural light. Good food and service. I have one major complaint about this place: the home fries are not good. They come out crusted with a spicy dark brown crust, and the insides are mushy. My wife says the home fries are deep-​fried, not prepared on the grill. She didn’t like the potatoes, either. Plus a minor complaint: the seat cushion at my booth had material that was torn, and then taped back together with duct tape or cloth tape. I will continue to go to this cute little restaurant in my community, but I will avoid the home fries.

The food is always excellent and soups are home made. The size of the venue is its only limitation. But even if you must wait till be seated it is well worth you time. Remember, cash only here.

Great little diner — bring your appetite and cash (no credit cards here). I came here for breakfast. Small and cozy interior, and just has a great feel, as if you’re in your grandparents kitchen eating breakfast with family. Quick to give you a great cup of coffee. Everyone’s meal looks and smells amazing. I went with a roasted pepper and provolone omelette, side of home fries with onions, bacon, and rye toast. Omelette was cooked perfectly, and rolled up expertly. Peppers tasted sweet and fresh, just the right amount of melted provolone inside. Bacon cooked right between chewy and crispy, with great flavor. Rye toast was thick cut, came out with the right amount of butter, and was as good a marbled rye as you can find! But the best part of this meal, hands down, was the homefries. These were THE BEST homefries I’ve ever had. Crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, seasoned just right. The fried onions were chopped and carmelized, giving a great mix of zing and sweet as the perfect addition to the potatoes. I could eat a whole plate of just these homefries. Amazing spot, lunch menu looked impressive too. Can’t wait to go back!

Charming little place, very cozy and simple. I had the Fairlane burger, which was cooked very well (I ordered it medium) and glazed with a delicious sauce and served with chips and a pickle spear.
Great choice and very affordable.

Great breakfast and lunch place. Lovely little corner diner with good coffee and great staff. Not too big but can sit at counter. All kinds of great food to pick from. Some are full of cholesterol — grilled cheese with bacon. Has all the expected diner fare and usually a few specials daily. Not the cheapest around but I don’t mind paying if I enjoy the food and the people.

Quite simply the worst scrambled eggs that I have ever had at a breakfast restaurant. There is much, much more that I could say about this overpriced, overestimated impostor, but if the texture and taste of the eggs is worse than Egg Beaters eggs, what more need be said? The review under Jenn E.‘s name is correct – it is absurd that this restaurant could get four out of five stars. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

Under no circumstances eat at this charming, friendly, time machine of a diner with fantastic food and lovely waitresses and amazingly tasty shakes. Do not go!
It is busy enough and small enough… if you all start storming it’s doors I will never be able to get in even at the half hour before closing!
Do you hear me?
I don’t want you to taste a cheeseburger as it is meant to be tasted with perfectly toasted crinkle fries, real (and green) leaf lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, and a red tomato slab in a cute plastic basket with wax paper liner on a table of vintage boomerang formica surrounded by swell old photos and bric-​à-​brac.
Even the 1960’s wood paneling — in excellent condition — and faux marble floors — always spotless — should be denied to you. Go away.
In fact, don’t you dare read this review. Move on to something else… nothign to see here.
I won’t mention the specials… too tasty… or (again)…the vanilla shakes with chunks of oreo… no I won’t do it.
GO!

The Fairlane is a very small locals spot with 5 tables and 10 seats at the counter. They have all the normal breakfast options and the food is decent. I had a western omlette when I was there this past weekend. It was filled with fresh peppers & onions. The home fries were deep fried I think and way over done. The total for my girlfriend and I was about $ 18. I won’t go out of my way to stop at the Fairlane but I wouldn’t tell you not to try it for yourself.

We have found our breakfast spot in Glenside. I thought maybe we had to trek out to Jenkintown, but that is not the case anymore.
I was in the mood for a big breakfast this past Saturday morning and my husband obliged with a trip to the Fairlane grill. I had warned him that we might have to wait given other reviewers comments, but I was willing to check it out. We got there just in time to grab the last open booth and ordered a cheese omelet and a stack of cinnamon sugar pancakes to split. The pancakes happened to be the best I have had, in my memory. The cakes were so fluffy and the cinnamon sugar so tasty, that they hardly needed the syrup provided on the table. The omelet was quite good as well, and I’m glad we went with the swirled rye toast which was a perfect accompaniment to the loads of American cheese in the middle of the eggs. Yum.
Breakfast is served until noon on the weekends, and I will be back soon!
