Fodor's Expert Review Sam's Morning Glory Diner
$
South Philadelphia
American
The Morning Glory bills itself as a "finer diner," and offers traditional touches such as big mugs of steaming coffee, but the "finer" comes in the updated, wholesome versions of diner fare such as homemade ketchup on every table, curried tofu scrambles, thick pecan waffles with whipped peach butter, and flaky buttermilk biscuits that accompany breakfast. Unless you're an early weekend riser, weekdays are a better bet, as the wait for weekend brunch can be epic. Cash only.
