A. P. J. Texas Weiners Restaurant
47 N. 13th Street, Philadelphia
Diner Project Score- 9

We ate breakfast so no weiners were consumed. Info on the Weiners can be found here. You can even get breakfast to go if you desire. We opted for the counter but sometimes its good to have options. In Pennsylvania Scrapple seems to replace grits and other such sides. Scrapple here was listed as a breakfast meat choice.

There seems to be another Texas Weiners diner in Philadelphia at 1426 Snyder Ave, but that's not the one we visited. http://www.texaswieners.com/ Perhaps this is similar to the Philadelphia Cheese Steak feuding? In case you were wondering what a Texas Weiner is and its history here's an essay about the Texas Weiner .

While dining here Joel suggested adding the category of pastries/desserts on the counter. I add to this that they can also be in a case behind the counter. While I love a dessert display case this is too broad since dessert cases can be found in family restaurants. On or behind the counter seems more diner since you have to have a counter, one of the other options for points.
So if you have a card add pastries/desserts on or behind the counter to you list for points.
