There'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.

The 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.

Fab place for lunch! We had the best donuts ever and delicious cookies. Fun to walk around too and sample food on the way.

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.

A true philly landmark and one of the best public spaces. Everything is delicious! Flying Monkey bakery is particularly amazing
Bob RaichleJune 8, 2013
Take 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, 2013
Try 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!

I always love this place. Tons selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Amazing place. It's always crowded on the weekends.

A trip to Philly is never complete without visiting the market. Wind your way through the vendors and sample everything, or find a stool and people watch over Bassett's cones. Read more

A 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!
Carole D.April 11, 2014
Scored a seat right when we walked up at Dinic's counter. High-energy, everything-you'd-ever-want-to-eat market. Live jazz, too!
Linda ForliniJanuary 6, 2016
Something for everyone. On Sunday the Amish shops are not open.
John BoothJuly 12, 2016
Make 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, 2013
Get 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, 2017
Reading 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

The best Cheesesteak is @Carmen's the line is long. But was worth the wait delicious 😋

Old City Coffee, Beiler's Donuts, and Miller's Twist pretzels are a must! I made the mistake of eating lunch beforehand...Come hungry!! ;)

This place is so good - it has everything and is priced nice. Not always open on certain weekends. Some spots have Yelp check-in deals.
Reinhold ResidentialSeptember 11, 2012
Since 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.

Incredible mass market with fresh produce, hot food, and groceries.
Fodor's TravelAugust 22, 2018
When 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

Visit 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

Visit this place either for its historic value or to sample some of the many delicacies available. Either way you will not be disappointed.

Carmen's famous Italian Hoagie's & cheese steaks. Amazing! If you like spicy, kamikaze cheese steak is delicious!

The 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, 2016

Don't eat before visiting! Tons and tons of merchants line the market, and you'll find a snack or lunch, plus souvenirs to take back home.

Ok. Their place is full of amazing food from corner to corner. Come hungry and early, you won’t want to pass anything up!
Rafi SyedMay 27, 2012
You 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.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
Grab some friends, split up with $20 each, meet at a central location after 30 minutes and taste a bite of everyone's bounty!
Asimina SoJanuary 31, 2017
So sad to hear favorite hoagie shop closed. The mac n cheese place is awesome, and we loved the diner too!
Clay WilliamsOctober 3, 2012
Go early to avoid the tourist crowds. Pick up some spices or cool ingredients from the Amish folks. Great cookbook shop. DiNic's for roast pork.
