West Chester
Market Street Grill
A no-frills diner that has been getting West Chester families through breakfast since forever. Walk-ins only means a wait on weekends, but the line moves fast and there's usually overflow seating on the patio. High chairs available. Kids do fine here.

Market Street Grill is the kind of place where they know the regulars by name, the pancakes are big enough to share, and nobody blinks if your kid spills orange juice. The menu is classic diner — eggs, omelets, French toast — and the prices are refreshingly low. The patio adds useful overflow space in warmer months. Cash and card both accepted.
