We went to Bud & Marilyn’s for brunch after seeing all the great reviews. We were seated quickly and arrived just a minute before brunch ended, but they still accommodated us, which was nice. The food, however, wasn’t the best. The standout item — and a must-try — is the cinnamon roll. It’s huge, soft, and perfectly sweet, definitely worth sharing. Unfortunately, the fried chicken was overly salty and dry, so we didn’t finish it. They recommended the pancakes, which was not good at all. It was bland and has a weird flavor, not what you expected from seeing how beautiful it was.The atmosphere was cute and cozy, but overall, I wasn’t too impressed with the food. I’d go back again, but only for those amazing cinnamon rolls!

My wife and I came to Bud and Marilyn’s on a Saturday morning for brunch. We were in the city for a matinee show and made a reservation a week in advance. We were seated right away. The front of house staff was very friendly and engaging. We were given ample time to decide and order without feeling ignored. The cinnamon roll arrived about 5 minutes after ordering it and it was delicious! Definitely worth sharing. I ordered the sausage and biscuits and my wife ordered the Croque Madame which was a daily special. Both were fantastic. The biscuits were not dry and the gravy had a great flavor without being overly salty. The bread on the Croque Madame had a little sweetness to it with great balance to the ham and cheese. Overall, everything was great and would highly recommend!

THIS is the place to go if you’re waiting for a show at the Miller Theatre. The staff was so attentive, knowledgeable and talented. I’ve had a lot of Moscow Mules in my life, this was the best one. The kimchi rice was awesome. But nothing beats the atmosphere. Welcoming, chill vibe. It was a perfect date night spot for us – so perfect that we stopped back for dessert after the show. Awesome place!

I’m currently sitting at the table as I write this review, the breakfast for my wife and I was so incredibly amazing, I felt compelled to write this as I finish my Bloody Mary. I had the sausage and biscuits, my wife had the tiramisu French toast. You can’t go wrong with either choice. I would imagine any choice on the
Menu will satisfy your hunger.
We will be back again. Alyssa, you were a great server, perfect amount of attention to our needs while not being overly tentative.

Been to Bud & Marilyn’s at least three times. The atmosphere is dimly lit (great for a date) with a bit of a retro vibe. My favorite is their happy hour. During happy hour you can get a great cocktail/wine (if seated at the bar) as well as a delicious selection of discounted dishes. The kimchi rice is delicious. The last time I went I had a salad (which unfortunately I can’t find on the menu), I believe it had fennel, regardless it was really good in taste, price and portion. I also had the Lakeside cocktail. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

This was a great find. The food, service, and atmosphere was great. Great music playing in the background. We enjoyed this visit. We had a great time talking and eating. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that visits the downtown Philadelphia area. It was an 8 minute walk from our hotel, so we got to get some walking time in on the way.

Dropped in for brunch and appreciated the relaxed vibe. It wasn’t crowded when we arrived, so we were seated quickly—always a win.
The highlight? Hands down the cinnamon roll. Soft, moist, packed with flavor, and surprisingly good even with raisins (which I usually avoid). It’s absolutely worth a return visit on its own.
As for the meal: I had the chicken and waffle. The chicken was tender, but lacked seasoning—it needed a boost from salt, pepper, and hot sauce to really come alive. The waffle had a solid soft crunch— nice balance, and the fried egg was perfectly cooked.
Drinks were good, but since I ordered a French 75, hard to say much—it’s not a cocktail that’s easy to mess up.
Would I go back? Maybe, if I’m nearby. I’d try something different next time, but I’d definitely order the cinnamon roll again.

Wonderful late dinner. Excellent service and ambiance. A quiet place tucked in the corner with spectacular food. Everything we ordered was spot on. Will definitely be back soon.

I was skeptical about this place at first but the food and service were amazing! They were accommodating to my friends nut allergy, they were super attentive, and we never felt rushed. The brunch was amazing and such a good price!
