visitPANovember 12, 2013This is a must stop every time you are either passing through or staying in Philadelphia for any amount of time--make sure you save your appetite.
Kristine BonaventuraFebruary 8, 2015There's an awesome loose tea shop inside and lots of fresh produce! Haven't tried any of the meat, but I've heard it makes all of the difference.
Golden bowl food is seriously some of the freshest Chinese food I have ever had. And you WILL need a to go box. Great bang for your buck.
34th Street MagazineFebruary 17, 2012Whether you have 30 minutes or 3 hours, check out the best of RTM. Our favorites include Downtown Cheese, 12th Street Cantina & Hershel's Deli. Check out our full review for more of our faves! Read more
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Our personal favorites are everything on the menu at Border Springs Lamb Farm, DiNic's Pork Sandwich, Miller's Twist Pretzels, & The Valley Shephard Creamery.
Jessica DevlinJune 26, 2011The market is a busy, crammed place, so try not to be too overwhelmed. Go in with an open mind and indulge in all the types of food like pizza, crepes, cheesesteaks, fresh seafood, cheese and gyro.- It can be expensive, but you can't beat the variety. Over 20 great places to eat. Highly recommend The Original Turkey and the cajun BBQ place. A must stop every time you're in Philly.
Rachel ShifmanMay 12, 2016A true philly landmark and one of the best public spaces. Everything is delicious! Flying Monkey bakery is particularly amazing
Simone van Den BergApril 20, 2018Fab place for lunch! We had the best donuts ever and delicious cookies. Fun to walk around too and sample food on the way.
Bob RaichleJune 8, 2013Take the tour. Carolyn does a great job of making the tour of the market and the history of some of Philly's favorite foods fun and interesting. It's well worth the price.
Jennifer KOctober 14, 2013Try to avoid the weekend. It's a mob scene! :-) Definitely make a full loop before deciding what you want. SO many different types of food to choose from!
HannyNovember 23, 2014I always love this place. Tons selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Amazing place. It's always crowded on the weekends.- Kay BeeApril 24, 2018Awesome you will find what ever you want to eat and drink and then some. The chocolate liberty bell’s are deeeelicious.
The Transit NavigatorAugust 12, 2011A MUST MUST MUST visit in Philly, Reading Terminal Market has the best food anywhere! Stop by The Original Turkey for a thanksgiving meal, Hershel's for sandwiches and soups, or the Amish for donuts!
The FAMOUS 4th St. COOKIE Company. Two Words: DA BOMB!!! Ask for KATHY w/the BUTTERFLY tat. She ALL THAT!!!
Carole D.April 11, 2014Scored a seat right when we walked up at Dinic's counter. High-energy, everything-you'd-ever-want-to-eat market. Live jazz, too!
John BoothJuly 12, 2016Make your way to Carmen's Famous and grab an incredible Philly Cheesesteak, DiNic's roast pork sandwich on the other hand is over-rated.
Chloe BenjaminJuly 1, 2013Get the carrot, ginger, kale and pineapple juice from the smoothie juice place. Too bad I don't remember the business name. It's refreshing and it reset my upset tummy.
Sean DaoMarch 15, 2017Reading terminal market has a very wide selections of foods from Chinese to Amish. Highly recommend it if you're just looking to get dumped into good food
Reinhold ResidentialSeptember 11, 2012Since 1893, fresh produce and diverse offerings have drawn crowds to this farmers market. Try the Fair Food Farmstand for local produce and grab a bite at Beck’s Cajun Café.- Patrice M FosterJune 5, 2017The best Cheesesteak is @Carmen's the line is long. But was worth the wait delicious 😋
Christine WolfeMay 13, 2016Old City Coffee, Beiler's Donuts, and Miller's Twist pretzels are a must! I made the mistake of eating lunch beforehand...Come hungry!! ;)- Mark PollardJuly 23, 2017This place is so good - it has everything and is priced nice. Not always open on certain weekends. Some spots have Yelp check-in deals.
Philadelphia MagazineNovember 17, 2010Visit the under-sung cafeteria-style counter at Little Thai Market for crab dumplings whose simplicity belies their addictive power ($5.50), and the sweet BBQ chicken on a stick ($2.50). Read more
Pattic SpeightsDecember 26, 2017Everything is good here. Every time I come I get something different and I’m never disappointed
- Fodor's TravelAugust 22, 2018When the Reading Company opened its train shed in 1892, it was the only one in the country with a market tucked away in its cellar. The trains are long gone, but the food remains. Read more
Tony ComerfordJuly 18, 2013Visit this place either for its historic value or to sample some of the many delicacies available. Either way you will not be disappointed.
Incredible mass market with fresh produce, hot food, and groceries.
- Carrie McDonaldAugust 15, 2014Carmen's famous Italian Hoagie's & cheese steaks. Amazing! If you like spicy, kamikaze cheese steak is delicious!
Best place to get exposed to the flavors of Philly. Anything you can imagine is there, truly a food lover's paradise.
StouponsFebruary 24, 2012The Reading Terminal Market is everything God intended life to be. We would recommend some places, but why rule out spontaneity. Just go, people, go and celebrate life as it was supposed to be.
GabrieLa Rodríguez-RodríguezApril 4, 2016The Beiler's Doughnuts are the best in the world! Forget about krispy kreme. Loved the Dutch Breakfast place.
Jess KellyJune 20, 2016I could have stayed here all day. Make sure to check out the pretzel stand. Dipped in butter and bloody delicious.
Lloyd GApril 7, 2015Can be crazy busy during lunch time, but go with an empty stomach and some patience and you'll have a great time!
Julia IvanApril 2, 2019the doughnut at the Dutch corner is amazing. fresh roasted coffee at the entrance is also very nice!

Rafi SyedMay 27, 2012You can't really go wrong with food choices, but they can be overwhelming. Grab a table near the Flying Monkey dessert place and then send runners to pick up a bunch of things to share.
