Love the Trolley Car! Corned Beef Hash and eggs are legendary. Milkshakes are worth the wait. Sunday Mornings are busy and the service is often slow, but the food never disappoints.
Dolores PhiferMay 14, 2017Besides having great food, coffee, and music...they give a military discount. How cool is that? Thank you Trolley Car Diner for caring about our military. Highly Recommend this place. Love it.
Elliot BensendDecember 30, 2017What a delight! Being from Texas...had to try the philly cheese steak omelette with goat cheese! NEW FAV!
Sonja Heard-BondAugust 10, 2014Great hoagies, with homemade potato chips. Cobb salad, Belgian waffles. Fish and cheddar grits are surprisingly good (for non-southerners). Still waiting for them to undrstnd the concept of hot sauce.
Almost too many good choices! Try the bison burger breakfast style (served with crispy house-made potato chips) for an unusual treat.
Fun place. Good atmosphere. Good food. It's not your old school diner, but it has the benefits of those. Grab some Evil Genius beer on the way out.
Sergio DiggsDecember 2, 2013Almost tried to get on the trolley out front however the diner is right there lol! Great food and great service! And I won't even start on the beer list... A MUST!
Their salads and breakfast menu are awesome. To eat here is definitely a treat
John GausMarch 2, 2017Old-school diner with a retro feel that serves a variety of great tasting food. Their milkshakes are the bomb!
Grimm&Grove CommunicationsAugust 14, 2011You expect good home-style cooking at a silver diner, and they do it up right (butter 'n all). But the Trolley Car also has an amazing variety of vegetarian dishes. Check our guide for recommendations Read more
Danelle BirtonAugust 31, 2015My dad is one of the cooks. Dana is his name n he is the best cook there.
- Sean GillSeptember 12, 2016The corned beef hash was so good with over-easy eggs. Surprisingly good Bloody Mary, too!
best food in the area everything is good love the milkshakes and the chicken ceaser wrap. good prices too:)
Take-out beer, reliable diner favorites, good sandwiches, great cheesecake
Travis TrumanSeptember 11, 2014Nice selection of beers and good food options for kids. Always friendly service.
Hollie SickJuly 25, 2015The bread basket is actually filled with powdered donuts. This diner is the best around
Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 12, 2011The kids’ menu features chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese; adults can choose non-standard diner fare like a veggie grinder and Maryland lump crab cakes. Read more- The HOMEMADE corned beef hash is among the best I've ever had.
There hash is amazing. There's nothing like a homemade hash.
The milkshakes are great and large enough to split with that special someone. Ask about the featured flavor of the month.
The service here is always great the food is awesome as well!
Patrick McDermottJanuary 13, 2014Breakfast...breakfast...breakfast! Especially when you can make your own omelette!
Brittany BanzhoffNovember 3, 2013Service was just alright, food was the same. Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning so maybe it was the rush getting to everyone, but cool atmosphere! Would give it another try
Love the water ice, ice cream and milkshakes in the summer but generally find the food to be pretty unappetizing.
Ask for the home fries to be well done. Much better taste and texture!
Kelli RaglandNovember 25, 2011Huge Beer Selection.....Great Blackened Cajun Chicken Garden Salad!!! Heard the Reubens r 2 die!!!
Chicken maple sausage is sooo good. Amazing food, great service and wonderful atmosphere.
Iyanna CrawleyNovember 24, 2012LOVE THEIR CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES..... MMMM I COULD GO FOR SOME NOW!!!!!
Always busy, always a wait to get in, always slow service. But! The good is always good.
Just learned that they won't let you customize the paninis. It's a shame, I wanted to try the pepe rosso with tomatoes instead of peppers (I'm allergic) and wasn't able to
- Mediterranean Hummus Salad. Off the heezie for meezie.
