When it comes to Philadelphia’s cuisine, many know it for its iconic Philly Cheese Steak, but there’s more to it than just that. Philadelphia is also the birthplace of the Pepper Pot Soup, the soft pretzel, and the Taylor Pork Roll. Its food scene, however, goes beyond local staples, turning the city into a hotspot when it comes to meatballs, tacos, cheesesteak, and even cannoli. One of the best times to spoil your taste buds and explore the city’s cuisine versatility is during weekend brunches, which mix a variety of local and international flavors into what can only be called a work of art. So plan a visit soon and book a room in one of the kid-friendly hotels or historic hotels. Then let’s take a closer look as we explore some of the best brunch buffet spots in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
