The kind of diner Philly grew up on.
Booth seats, a lunch counter, coffee that never runs dry. Spring Garden Restaurant is a neighborhood mainstay — the place regulars slide into before 8 AM appointments and where visitors get a taste of real Philadelphia diner food.
We keep it simple: hot breakfast served fast, hearty lunches, and a friendly hello every time the door swings open.
Come by. We saved you a booth.
