Down Home Diner

Had a decent breakfast here one morning. Pancakes were good, egg portion could have been larger ( no way it was 2 eggs) and bacon was good. Also had an apple biscuit which had a very floury and undercooked taste but was somewhat hidden by the delicious apple topping. The service was ok, server was always in a rush.

The food was as advertised. The cheesesteak was made fresh in front of us after we ordered. The beverage size and cost was in line with other vendors in the Reading Terminal Market. This was the first Cheesesteak I had in Philly so I don’t know how it compares but everything about the sandwich was awesome. Choose their Homemade Wiz! You won’t go wrong here.

A chicken salad sandwich on stale bread that was falling apart with little to no chicken on it Remarkably bad food, although the server was quite pleasant

Terrible place, incredibly rude waiters. They touch money and food with the same unwashed hand, there's simply no washing hand protocol, people with long hair in the kitchen near food. Gordon Ramsay should visit it.

After a rainy day touring the Independence area, we took the subway near here for lunch. It was crowded on a Wednesday afternoon around 1, as you'd expect. Luckily, this diner in Reading Terminal Market has seats for their patrons. Food was above average and service, despite being busy, was good and quick. Tips: They have their own bathroom, but only one so lines can form. Also, they seem to run out of biscuits around lunch but try to score one if you can - they are good!

I wanted to grab something quick around 10 AM. I thought it would not be busy at that hour on a Saturday. I was very wrong. The restaurant and the Reading Terminal Market in general were packed. I had to sit at the counter instead of joining the line for a table. The food was the usual comfort type offerings such as French toast---nothing fancy, but good enough.

Waitress was very rude and I would not recommend this place based on customer service she didn’t offer us any thing to drink and she rushed us to order our food amongst the other rude ass behavior she displayed we walked out never again

A lovely diner right inside of reading terminal market. I was in town for a conference at the convention center and had 1 hour to spare for breakfast. We were sat immediately upon arrival and ordered a combination of sweet and savory. My partner and I split the French toast & cheesesteak omelet with a biscuit/gravy on the side. The biscuit gravy was probably my favorite part of the meal. I also ordered black coffee which was mediocre diner coffee. But hey, it’s always a good time when you get a hearty (& greasy) diner breakfast!

Amazing food and superb value! Their new cheesesteak counter also holds its own among the best.

Sat at the bar and ordered a couple of things to try. The over easy eggs were solid, maybe a little too runny for my liking. I liked the homemade bread and the jam they give you was great, but I wish they gave more! Definitely a bit more expensive with the egg shortage. The French toast was also pretty good but nothing crazy. The food came out almost too quickly within minutes so no complaints there. Sitting at the bar was a bit uncomfortable since I had no place to put my coat or bag, but I enjoyed chatting with the bartender/server.

Great cheese steak and fish dinner.Waiter was friendly and restroom clean.All good.

Their toaster broke, they were out of biscuits, eggs under cooked to raw, potatoes cut too thick for good flavor char, bacon Bloody Mary I could barely taste because the ice chips machine ice blocks the straw (need fatter straws). I dined in at the counter. Staff was fine, but food was flavorless, bland and boring. Just me maybe. I’m usually not so harsh on places, but if not for location I don’t think this place would be around. I ate the no flavor bacon for protein and went to the Panera across the street.

Food was ok. I had the steak omelette that came with home fries and biscuit and my wife got the uncle bucks, which came with your choice of meat, eggs, pancakes, and grits. The best thing from the dish was the pancakes. They were DELICIOUS! Had a hint of cinnamon and super fluffy! Other than that, the food was nothing special.
