Philly Sunday breakfast/brunch--Carmen's?

[pennbrew]

I'm dropping off a cask at Triumph for the Real Ale Fest Sunday (they want it there around 11am), and I'm hoping to find something good and distinctive to eat before the event at 1pm. I've read about Carmen's here before, can anyone offer an idea of the timeframe needed if I show up around 11:30? Would I be better off going there earlier and then to Triumph? It'll either be just me or I may be meeting a friend or 2 if that makes a difference getting seated at Carmens.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Be sure to make a reservation. Carman only takes Sunday reservations on Sunday. If the number of people changes, let them know. Be on time. Reservations aren't held for long if anyone else is waiting.

If you're one, at that hour, you'll sit at the counter. Two or more, depends where there is space.

Carman will have you in and out within an hour or less.

Also, don't pet the dog no matter how friendly she appears.

Enjoy.

Don't pet the dog? But I like dogs!

Thanks for the advice.

Great Sunday adventure. You'll love everything about this place esp the food. Be sure to ask Carmen for her business card, just do it.
