“ exceptional brunch spot with delicious and fun food! this was actually my third time at this spot. the first time i was here in oct 2022, i actually found out that my (now)ex had been cheating on me -- but i liked the spot so much that i came back. the most recent time i was here, my friend ordered the hawaiian uitsmijter and i ordered the brisket benedict. we both loved our dishes and savored every last bite. the brisket was tender, the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. i definitely could have taken half of my meal home, but it was so delicious that i couldn't help myself but to finish the plate. service was fast and attentive, no complaints. truly an exceptional brunch spot! ”

“ Amazing!! What a fabulous find for a quick trip to Philly! Fun menu, delicious food, and friendly service! Highly recommend the smoked fish pancake....it sounds dicey but just WOW it all works!! Magic! ”

“ This was such a wonderful ending to our weekend trip. Hubby and I needed some breakfast before our 5 hour trip home. Winkel was the closest to our hotel. We walked here and opted to dine al Fresco since it was a gorgeous morning. Our server was super friendly and helpful. I decided on the crabcake Benedict. This was delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached and the crab cakes were seasoned really well. It came with a potato onion hash and a side salad. Hubby ordered the Zuurkool & Eggs. This was the perfect Dutch breakfast, consisted of cabbage, smoked sausage, toast, and carrots. The coffee was very good. We were really impressed by the food, location, and customer service. I would definitely come back when in the area! ”

“ In town for the weekend and awesome Yelp reviews led me here! Boy I'm so glad to have stopped in too! Great welcome, great service, great food. I decided to go with the crab omelette. It came plated with potatoes, choice of bread, and side salad topped with pickled red onions and cucumbers. Presentation was just as wonderful as the flavors. My counterpart decided to go with a half order of bread pudding French toast. OMG! So dang good! I think I'll be back tomorrow. Lol. Get yourself here ASAP! ”

“ I have a soft spot for weekday brunch, but Winkel would convert even the stodgiest brunch haters. The menu is expansive, with a good balance of sweet and savory, classic and inventive, hearty and moderate. I'm accustomed to picking between two and three vegetarian options on a menu, but Winkel has so many that it was hard to choose! In the end, I ordered the summer squash omelette which had Brie, caramelized onions, and zucchini. No regrets! My partner got the salmon hash, which was absolutely enormous - easily enough food for two people. No photos because we inhaled our food ”

“ This restaurant was a last minute find before heading to the Roots Picnic. I called prior to inquring about reservations, and I spoke one of the hostess, who stated that they were busy, but would still take walk-ins. Centrally located in the Gayborhood, Winkle was in the midst of the Pride festival, that was also taking place that weekend. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were welcomed by the staff, who noticed that we had two bottles of Prosecco (BYOB), and placed them on ice while we had a short wait for our table. Overall, the food was delicious; I will say that the chicken wasn't as seasoned as I would have preferred but the scrapple gravy was definitely a great addition. I enjoyed the BYOB option, which allowed us to enjoy "bottomless" mimosas with our favorite sparking wine. The Salmon was okay, however I wouldn't have ordered it again. Our server was very hospitable and attentive. Overall, I would definitely visit again and order some other items on the menu; I am sure they have a lot of great food choices. The service was stellar and swift. ”

“ Solid breakfast in Philly! My brother thought it'd be pretty busy on a Saturday morning, so he got there early to get us a table, but was seated immediately. We split the omelet with asparagus and the blackberry pancakes. I also got a latte. Our server was attentive, the food was great. Both items were pretty large and were great sharing portions for two people. ”

“ This place was overall great!! The server was sooo friendly! The food was delicious & filling! The bill was reasonable. Would definitely come back! ”

“ Wow! This place is an outstanding brunch place right across from Planned Parenthood (quite an interesting scene outside) in the gayborhood. The place was packed when we went on a Saturday afternoon. The place is byob which was a pleasant surprise when I discovered it. I told my other girlfriends and we ended up having 2 bottles of wine at brunch. The hostess turned out to be the owner and he was quite friendly. He opened our bottles and told us the specials (the place specializes in Dutch food which was quite an experience). The waitress came by and we placed our orders. I ended up getting the Hawaiian Uitsmijter, which was basically a Dutch open faced sandwich. Honestly, the plate was so stuffed it was my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bread I chose was pumpernickel which was soft and tasted so fresh. On top of the bread was ham, pinapple and Gouda with runny eggs. I added some chili pepper since my Indian scents don't like a nonspicy meal (I know, I ruined the Dutch taste). The ham was nice, juicy, and thick. There was a salad and pickle that came on the side. Honestly, my friends and I had such a blast we ended up staying past closing. The staff was friendly for not kicking us out). We ended up getting last call for dessert. All three of us split the Deep Fried Bread Pudding French Toast. It was delicious. It was so thick and the homemade blueberry jam killed the dish. ”

“ A spacious brunch restaurant with fun menu items! The décor was simple and the kitchen was open so you can watch your food being prepared. The service was fast and attentive and food came pretty quickly. They don't usually open for dinner, but sometimes have special event for dinner time (an interesting concept). Blueberry cornbread - A special of the day. Cornbread was spicy and crumbly yet moist. Strawberry jam was good in balancing the spiciness of the cornbread. Hawaiian Uitsmijters - A heavy large portion with two slices of bread, ham, pineapple and 2 sunny side up eggs + salad. Salad was light and refreshing. Uitsmijters together was a good mélange of flavours and textures. I think I prefer this over a benny. Lots of food would probably share next time. Partner got the bread pudding French toast, which was also a lot of food. It was really good, but also really filling. Would highly recommend this restaurant. As a tourist of the city, probably would not come back, but as a local would definitely come back to try the other menu items. ”
