Need breakfast/brunch rec near Norristown

[VictorFiorillo]

Anyone have any brunch/breakfast favorites near Norristown or Phoenixville, other than the Black Lab (are they still doing brunch?)... this is for tomorrow (sunday)

The William Penn Inn is always a nice choice, and serves brunch.

Skippack Village is nearby and has some nice choices of restaurants, lovely place to shop and stroll as well:

I know this is too late for you this time, Victor, but The Black Lab in Phoenixville is not doing lunch or brunch right now, supposedly concentrating on dinners.

There's a new Nudie's in town that does breakfast and brunch, but I haven't made it there yet.

Nudy's has treated us well on the 2 times we've been there.

Sad to confirm that the Black Lab no longer does any daytime hours.

We like the dineresque qualities of breakfast at the G Lodge.

The Kimberton Inn and Columbia Hotel supposedly have brunch but we have not checked either out yet.

Oh, right, thanks for the reminder mod*betty, the G-Lodge on rt 23 between Phoenixville and Valley Forge Park does indeed do good, basic, diner-like breakfasts. Nothing all that creative, just good pancakes and the like. Pretty crowded on weekends.

Iron Hill Brewery should be open soon in Phoenixville, and I would assume that they'll do a sunday brunch like the others do.

Iron Hill will be opening the first week of October, and yes, will be offering brunch!

Ray's diner on Germantown Pike is an excellent breakfast spot. Try Big Joe's Country Scramble - Open face bisuit with scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and cheese. Weekend specials are usually pierogies and eggs, crab asparagus omelette, or stuffed french toast. They also have egg creams on the menu. Yummy!

Has anyone ever been to Ray's for a weekday lunch? I'd love a good breakfast-for-lunch spot once in a while, but I need to be able to get in and out in an hour to an hour and a half. I've heard they're a bit slow, so that's the only thing preventing me from trying the place. Thoughts?

I've been to Ray's several times for both lunch and dinner and never found the service to be slow. They also have, hands down, the very best milkshake I've had in the area.

Oooh... milkshake. Thanks! I'll be stopping by Ray's soon.

P.S. Ladydisdain, your photos inspired me to go try Naked Chocolate Cafe this weekend and the vanilla/vanilla cupcakes were delicious.

The only time I've had slow service is on a Sunday morning when the line is out the door. This is a rare exception that I allow for slow food, what are they supposed to do with so many diners? With their 2 back rooms, I'd say they seat 60-75 at once. The BBQ chicken grilled cheese sandwich is great during the day - and they have a dining club card: get $200 worth of stamps and get $25 off your check - after 3pm.

Thank you for the suggestions. We wound up at Ray's. Didn't make it to a malt, though.
