Had the huevos rancheros and they were good but could have been warmer, and the beans were a little on the runny side.

But the flavors were there and service was prompt. Surprisingly Impressive breakfast in a local Fishtown restaurant. The berry jam is home made. We were a group of 8 and the restaurant served all our food hot, and It was very homeley. And the owner and staff acted like they've know us for years. Then the food was excellent. Nice little spot in Fishtown. They serve a pretty good Irish breakfast, but their huevos rancheros is delicious.

They also have outside seating when it's nice out. I just visited Ida Mae's after several referrals speaking of their pancakes. Ate there for breakfast with a group of 5. We got there around am on a Sunday and were literally the only people there.

Quick service right? First, the little spot isn't The table was a table for two but set up at a banquette and rediculously small for 5 people and their plates.

We started with coffee. It took forever, not sure if they brewed each cup individually or what but took a long time and the coffee was strong. It took me four creamers to get it remotely creamy and A LOT of sugar to make it not so strong. Anyway, I'm not a pancake person, so thought I would have a couple of bites of someone else's.

I just went easy and ordered 2 eggs over medium with toast and homefries. Eggs were good, toast is toast, the potatoes were not good at all. Had a bite of the pancake which I heard they make with sour cream or something.

It was moist, but almost to the point of wondering if it was cooked all the way through or not. I didn't enjoy it, but it reminded me of a favorite pancake of mine potato pancakes which they run as a special sometimes, but not that day.

I think if these would have been potato pancakes, they would have been banging! What a joke. What the hell was that? This was only so disappointing because she even clarified with the waitress what she was ordering prior to ordering and it didn't sound like canned baked beans thrown on toast. She couldn't even eat it.

She thought it was going to be a black bean, almost mexican type dish, but instead it looked like something you would have seen at a breakfast on a campsite. Don't recommend unless you are a pancake connoisseur, than maybe. We popped into Ida Mae's on a cold February afternoon hoping for a bowl of soup or something to warm us up and fuel us for the rest of our afternoon.

We got what we were looking for. The place is pretty small and sometimes pretty busy, not great for groups. But then again how often do you brunch in packs. Also, parking is a mission so cross your fingers for a good spot. Jeannelle S. A very quiet spot. When we got there, there were a few people there but there was a few tables open so we grabbed one. My omelette was good, no complaints. He says they were gummy, which to me screamed that they were not done, but he kept his complaints to himself.

Service was nice. Anthony C. What a great breakfast, the food was perfect, and the staff is a awesome. We ended up sitting at the counter, and not only is the staff friendly, they work as a team preparing and serving.

Overall great breakfast prepared and served by a professional staff. Nichola L. The food here is out of this world. I have ordered many things ranging from their standard breakfast and lunch menu to their specials, and I have never been disappointed! The staff is kind and on top of service. Beef M. I split the Irish breakfast and fruit bowl with a friend, it was prettyyy good. Oh yeah it is cozy, like you might rub elbows with the person sitting next to you.

Not a big deal for me but might be for some. Kara K. Update: I returned for a second visit recently, which was a bit earlier on Sunday morning. It was much quieter, the service was much better, and the food was again pretty delicious.

It looks like the key is coming in during church hours to avoid the rush. It took forever for my apple pancakes to arrive, and when they did they were hot, fresh and very heavy. I enjoyed them, but if you prefer super fluffy pancakes, they will probably be disappointing. The apple compote was hands down my favorite thing, and not at all what I expected. It was fresh, not heavily sweetened and tasted like crushed apple goodness with a hint of. Sara K. Not a bad spot for a hungover brunch.

Mazen H. I called because I was looking for some breakfast after noon and wanted it to go. They were very nice on the phone and helped order omlette and huevos rancheros a well as oatmeal with fresh berries. Got it home and was very impressed with all.

Will definitely be going back, very impressed. David S. If you are lucky enough to sit in the back, your experience as a whole will be better than if you have to sit in the front. But sitting up front, for me, has never been a deal breaker. The food is the same no matter where you sit, and the food is pretty good. Or third. Try them whenever you want, just make sure you try them. It is a purveyor of brunch hence the made up, yet clearly defined word « bruncherie» in its title.

Kathleen D. A madman I know was dealt a real blow when he learned that his main spot for creamed chipped beef had closed. Where the hell is the best creamed chipped beef now?
