@lostintravel's Review of Middle Child - Philadelphia, PA

This is the best breakfast spot in Philly. Let me tell you why. Middle Child has been a Philly favorite for a while now, but with a new, much bigger location, comes a much bigger menu with some absolutely ridiculous takes on classic diner food. First up is Olivia's Big Pancake, which is a malted buttermilk pancake with a whole grain flour that comes with honey butter, a light syrup, and fresh citrus on top. It is soaked up all that so well. It's like little tiny crispy, nice sort of like that buttery flavor just pouring through the honey butter and they're so good. Whoa, these pancakes are great. Then their quote unquote lot good hash brown with a dill cream. This was a dream. I didn't get it with Roe, but probably should have. Sometimes you just like touch food and you're like, this is going to be so good. It's just like a little crisp in the outside, nice creaminess in the inside. They are more well known for the breakfast sandwiches, but I couldn't resist the deli breakfast burrito that wraps up house smoked pastrami, super fluffy eggs, sharp American cheese, smashed hash browns, and the chipotle mustard. The pastrami is great. Eggs are super, super fluffy. That little chipotle mustard in there really adds a nice little kick. Hefty. Big, delicious, I can't ask for anything more than that. It's a fantastic breakfast period.
