4 reviews for Dew Inn
If you've been looking for the perfect skeazy diner, congratulations, you've found it.
Now go enjoy 2 eggs, a huge portion of perfectly crispy/mushy hash browns, toast, all you can drink coffee, and a shot of orange juice for $4, and don't come wining to me about your stomach ache after.
5 solid stars, but not for the food.
Man, the Dew Inn is a legend in my life. I moved to Northern Liberties when I was a lil pup in 1996. Different world back then. Some party or another shortly after moving to the area we started hearing about the Dew Inn - "you gotta check this place out.", "order lineys", etc. Finally headed up there good and messed up at 4am some night. Wow. $2 breakfast, completely gone waitresses and all sorts of weirdos sitting around. It was great! Haven't been there in years.
Among my many visits, these things happened:
- Waitress gave me a dimebag of pot for free twice without me even mentioning anything about pot or drugs in general.
- I was called a high roller.
- A dude who said he was a pimp bought me breakfast because he liked my style.
- Dusted metalhead looking dude roundhouse kicked some other guy out the door.
- Found out that lineys meant onions in your potatoes
- Offered sex.
- Some guy did push-ups for some reason but I can't remember.
I have never been there sober, never gotten ill from the food and have never had anything less than a good experience at the Dew Inn.
Breakfast sandwiches = hangover cure at pequeno precios.
Despite being nearly right across the street from where I live and despite the fact that I sometimes like greasy spoon breakfast, I tend to stay away from Dew Inn. It's wonder bread, margarine, and salt to the extreme.
Somehow, they screw up french toast. Egg + bread = fail.
The appealing part is that it is almost the polar opposite of Honey's. And although Honey's is great and wonderful, the lines nor the prices make it a once in awhile thing. At Dew Inn, you walk in, make your order and eat. Then you pay $3 and leave.
