Every time I visit Philly, this is one place I have to stop for a great cheesesteak. I always have a positive experience -- the service is friendly, the food is consistently good, and I leave satisfied every time. The meat is well-seasoned, flavorful, and exactly what I look for in a Philly cheesesteak. On my most recent visit, I was a little disappointed with the fries, as they tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while rather than being freshly prepared. That said, I'll give them a pass -- my visit was during the World Cup, and I'm sure the team was overwhelmed handling a much larger-than-normal crowd. Beyond the cheesesteak, this place has an excellent beer selection and a menu full of other sandwiches and dishes that are just as enjoyable. It's a spot I'll continue to return to whenever I'm in Philly. read more

This place was excellent. My wife was excited to take me. She's been here a few times with coworkers. We got the cashew French onion dip. With chips that were so perfectly crispy. The way I love them. Handmade chips. I wonder how you make this. Then my wife and I got a ceased salad with chicken and BLT both to share. I pulled the B off my LT since I can't have it. But it was delicious. It came with potato salad that was made with olive oil and no mayo. Tasted like it might actually be good for you! Salad was delicious too. For bar food everything tasted surprisingly healthy. But maybe that was just my perception? We got a lot of food. Service was great. Nice that they have their own section to sit. read more

Come here for burgers and fries but tried their breakfast for the first time! Really good and reasonable price. The potatoes were well seasoned, my egg was cooked right, biscuit was good as always and they have customizations for meat options. My partner got the biscuit sandwich and it was devoured pretty quickly. I wish I had more potatoes and a little less salt, however I would take a friend here! read more

Lunch on our own we chose this amazing restaurant. The best Philly Cheesesteak I've ever had! The service was fast and efficient and Jeremy our server met the highest expectations. The Reading Terminal is a very loud place however the ambience at Molly's was pleasant and people at nearby tables were friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Molly Malloy's (Located inside Reading Terminal Market) 1136 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 Chili Honey Garlic Wings Philly Cheesesteak The wings were the perfect appetizers. There was a perfect ratio of heat and sweet. For the most part, I enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak. For a small up charge, I added mushrooms, sautéed onions, and peppers. My only critique is that there wasn't enough shaved steak. Otherwise, it was a great sandwich! Aside from the service, our server was very attentive. He even gave us directions to a site my girlfriend and I was planning to visit. #readingterminalmarket #philadelphiapa #phillycheesesteak #wings #philadelphia #pafoodie read more

Came for a beer but stayed for the people watching. This was my first trip to Reading Terminal and from the little i know -this is the only place to grab a drink. We positioned ourselves on the corner of the bar and had great service. They have a huge selection of beers but we were pretty disappointed by the tap quality / flatness of the beer. Regardless, its a great pit stop amongst the myriad of small food stalls and shops. read more

Molly Malloy's - A quick beer at Molly Malloys! - Gastropubs Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stopped in for a quick beer and snack before dinner. Sat at the bar, had me a Brawler with a portion of crispy brussel sprouts. Beer was perfect, not too heavy for a dark beer (my fav). As for the Brussels, a little undercooked. Not crispy enough and a tad too salty but then what better to wash down with a second beer. Sat at the bar and service was great with a smile!! read more

What caught my eye initially is the all-day breakfast and then we found out they had absolutely amazing seating right inside the market. So yes of course I got breakfast believe it was the farmers breakfast of value at $13 I'll start with the potatoes they were excellent cooked to perfection I got my eggs sunny-side over and they were delish, I asked if the sausage or bacon was better she recommended the sausage and spot on some of the best breakfast sausage I've had. The icing on the cake was the biscuit, I really go for a biscuit but it was included and OMG was it not the best biscuit I've ever eaten in my life there was butter on the table to put on it but it did not need it. If you're in the market and specifically if you want to do breakfast stop by here and they also had a lot of cocktails flowing. Service was fantastic. read more

The service was great but the food was unbelievable. This was one of the best biscuits I've ever had! And the challah French toast was nothing short of amazing. Must try this place! read more

Exceeded expectations. Had a cheesesteak with mushrooms, peppers, onions - wow it was delicious. Roll was delicious with sesame seeds. They have a large bar and seating area but I was meeting up with folks who were all getting other foods. Ate it standing up at a shared table with nice folks visiting from outside the USA. Grab a fork for the yumminess that might fall out. And a couple of napkins. Super good! Would go back. read more

All of the food was sooo good I was quite full after this meal! The dip did steal the show though, I couldn't stop reaching for more! The sandwhich was cooked well, and the ricotta toast and just the perfect amount of honey. Although, the Bloody Mary was not the best unfortunately, but I am very picky with my Bloody Mary's. Service and staff were great, checked on us plenty of times and made some nice casual conversation. This was inside of the Reading Terminal Market in Philly and I would recommend you check it out. Vibes are already cute because you're inside the market, and then you can walk around and shop after your meal. And as with many food places in Philly, SUPER affordable especially for how much food / drinks we got. read more

Reading terminal is an amazingly busy place with amazing places to eat and buy things we ended up at Molly Malloy's where we could sit in a table. Most places at Reading terminal are counter serving type seating. Well the Molly Malloy's was exceedingly busy the waitress we had promptly set us down, brought our drinks and took the food order an amazing amount of time we were there at lunch and the place was buzzing. We ordered the Philly cheese with fries and it was absolutely amazing. The bread was soft. Meat was tender and flavorful. We would strongly suggest going back and enjoy the place. read more

So cute and low key at the bar I came back again the next day. Reading Terminal has a lot of people and a lot of products. I've been in there many times and still managed to get turned around or find a stall I've never seen before. Trying to find MMs was an adventure: I was outside the Terminal and my friend was trying to direct me to the bar by text smh. Is this how mice in mazes feel? Once there I was enthused at the beer list. I blew my wad too quickly and asked for the draft Kombucha - I guess I thought itd be spiked? Lmao. It was really just draft kombucha. But delish in any event. Next time around I think I grabbed a sour or fruit beer (memory of a 44yo here) with wings and the next day one of the many IPAs. The wings were excellent! Let's see if I have pics. Stand back and stand by. read more

Molly Molloy's was a great spot to socialize over cocktails and beers during a break from exploring the Reading Terminal Market. The restaurant is laid back and relaxing. The bartender was friendly, cheerful, and provided great service. We had the Watermelon Margarita, Nitro Cold Brew Martini, Cucumber Basil Mule, and the Sparkling Whiskey Lemonade. The drinks were refreshing, unique, and well balanced. Whenever I'm in town, this will definitely somewhere I stop for a few cocktails, to chill and relax. read more

The service was slow, I was waiting for over 20 minutes for 1 order of wings and when they were ready they never even called out my name, I had to ask them repeatedly if my order was ready. Finally, once I sat down to actually eat my food ALREADY irritated the wings weren't even crispy and the sauce was WAY to sweet. Overall aggravating experience I would only recommend if you like mid wings, have excellent patience and don't mind not having your order called out. read more

Busy place. Because it's in Reading the atmosphere is loud. Food came out extremely fast. I had the biscuits for breakfast. Could only finish one and a half...they are huge! They were good. Buddy got a breakfast sandwich which he said was good and very filling. Service was great despite being extremely busy. read more

I went here for the grilled cheese pop tart but the person there said they didn't have any. They only had it posted on IG two days ago and were only going to have it until April 10. It sounded like the staffer wasn't even aware that they offered this at all. I was disappointed to say the least. I ordered some drinks and they were okay. read more

This has to be one of our favorite breakfast spots in Reading Terminal Market! The breakfast platter, breakfast sandwich, avocado toast, turkey sandwich, chicken fingers, fried chicken sandwich - you name it, it's all good! We love to come here on Saturday mornings to pick up the specialty poptart of the week too. It's a perfectly flaky pastry with a varying sweet or savory filling. In addition to the food, they have a great draft list, which also includes a nitro cold brew and a local kombucha. The wait staff never fails to disappoint either - they are so friendly and attentive, and we always leave happy! read more

Located inside Reading Market Terminal, they have their own dining section. I was immediately seated by I guess it was the owner. Plenty of space there and at the bar, with 3 tvs playing sports. I was hungry, and I'm still on the hunt for a good Philly sub. I got mine and opt for fries inside of chips for $2 surcharge. Although, the contents of my sub was good. I wasn't feeling the roll with rye seeds on it. My waiter was cool, and attentive. I'll come back to try their pot pies. read more

This place was recommended but at first look I was skeptical. Located inside Reading Terminal market i still wasn't sold on how good the food could be but it was one a few places that had a morning wait so promising. I had the pancakes and an Old Cuban and my wife the avocado toast. Both our meals were awesome. The person who recommended this place was correct. Looks can be and we're deceiving. The server was good. She recommended the Old Cuban drink and it was very good. I would have had two but it was early. My wife really like the toast as the avocado tasted fresh like it was just picked. The pancakes were plentiful as the server advised. I couldn't finish them all in one sitting so I did it in two. The place is busy but the sounds of people is over powering where you can't communicate. read more

We took all the local advice and stayed away from the tourist traps that are Pats & Genos and instead came to the Reading Market Terminal. Our cheesesteaks were so good that we went back the next day! Both our servers were friendly & quick to refill our waters (much appreciated in this heat!) Fun atmosphere in the middle of the market. read more

Went to brunch with my sister and brother in law through their recommendation. Located inside the Reading Terminal Market, the place is awesome.

Would def recommend if you're looking for a brunch dine in place! read more

Went there after Wanamaker's light show and brought a group of 12 we split up to find food. Not my normal choice to go to at Reading. Nothing exciting on the menu. One person in our group wanted a cheesesteak. We were told 10 min. 20 minutes later our sandwich finally came out either the upsale fries. Multiple orders that were done after ours were done before our. We were told that our order was waiting for fries. I saw at least 5 orders come with fries. Roll was stale. Never again. Rude and slow. read more

We were in the area for a conference and came by here for our lunch break. It was busy, so we figured it must be a good spot! We were seated immediately upon arriving. After being sat, we waited at least 15 minutes to have water dropped off at our table, and then for a server to come by to take our order. We waited another 20 minutes to get our food, and the server never came by to check in with us or even refill our water. We could tell the server we had was more focused on a larger party, which left us being forgotten. Our server had spoken less than 10 words to us the entire time we dined there, and just didn't really seem to pay much attention to us. We also waited such a long time for the check to be brought to us after asking for it. What should have been a quick lunch turned into almost a 2 hour experience! The food is truly the saving grace, and the only reason this review is more than one star. The food was really good and made to order! The person who brought our food out (not our server because I guess that was really asking too much) was very nice too! We each got hand helds with fries and both items came as ordered. The service was horrible, and I would not advise coming here based on that alone. I think had we had a server that actually paid attention and acknowledged us more than once, we might have had a better experience, but unfortunately that was not the case. Seeing other reviews, I really think we had a one off experience, but nonetheless it was still a terrible one. read more

Never had them before and was in the mood for a cheesesteak so decided to get one to-go. Was a really good sized sub. I got mine with fried onions and mushrooms, which I always feel adds to the taste. It was really good, served hot, fresh, tasty and so filling. Would get a steak from here again and would tell others to try. read more

It was hard to choose a spot for lunch in the Reading Terminal Market but I'm glad I ultimately settled on Molly Malloy's. I got take out so I can't speak to the sit-down portion of the restaurant, though it looked cozy with lots of TVs. The vegan mushroom French dip was so delicious and perfectly seasoned with lots of herbs and spices. The French onion jus was so creative and tasty. Sandwiches come with homemade chips although you can upgrade to fries. A very filling and appetizing lunch for under $15! read more

Real comfortable little bar inside the Reading Terminal Market. Very nice bartenders who treated this out-of-towner nicely. Had the Philly Cheesesteak which was really good. Full disclosure: I don't know the best cheesesteaks in town but at least compared to what I'm used to, it was "legit." Great selection of beers. read more

On the recommendation of a local (LunaSeeGirl333...I'm looking at you), took the plunge and hit the Reading Terminal Market to have dinner at Molly Malloy's. Started off with a "Too Juicy" Double IPA and then ordered the Philly Cheesesteak entrée (with fix'ns) with a side of fries. The market was buzzing, wonderful smells whaffing thru the air, friendly service and of course the food was delicious. I was only able to eat 1/2 of the cheesesteak (having the remainder later), but oh my goodness, fantastic. read more

We always stop here when we are at Reading Terminal. Solid cocktails and consistently good food. This time around, we got two cocktails and had the Homemade Pop Tart! Now hear me out ... Pop Tarts are amazing to begin with ... but HOMEMADE Pop Tarts?!? Yes, freaking, please. The special changes every Friday, and today's special (Friday, January 13) was Lemon Meringue. This Lemon Meringue Pop Tart was freaking delicious. Literally everything was homemade - and the Lemon Curd filling was a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Wasn't overly sweet, or tart, and had perfect balance. The whole Tart was perfectly balanced and SUPER light. Also - did I mention it's HUGE? Note the picture for size. SO GOOD. read more

This place has no reason to be as good as it is--but I'm glad it is. The old beer garden in RTM was a dive-y spot that was not welcoming at all. In fact, I continued to avoid it when Molly Malloy's took over. Then my husband got a Too Good To Go surprise bag from them on a lark. The delicious homemade pop tarts made us realize we need to check them out. Now, the market's full bar is also a destination for great food. I was excited to see that hey have a number of vegetarian and vegan options. I'm not either, but I have friends and family who eat vegan. Breakfast is solid. My husband really likes their biscuits. There are those delicious pop tarts--way better than any mass-produced toaster pastry. They are huge, so plan to share. The crust is flaky and buttery. But can we talk about their mushroom "French dip" sandwich? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Oyster mushrooms cooked in magic, piled onto a Merzbacher's ciabatta roll, slathered with cashew-based vegan French onion dip, with a side of onion (jam? jus?). It explodes with flavor and is so satisfying that I didn't need the fries that came with it. read more

I came back to review Molly Malloy's individually! I left them a stellar review included with the Reading Terminal Market! I never leave the market without paying this place a visit OR this being the #1 reason why I stop in! They have beer-to-go and also a nice bar with great viewing. I always sit at the bar and feel at peace, whether it be for a drink or drink and a bite to eat. If you can't tell, my go-to is the Chicken Pot Pie and the Cherry Cider! If you grab a seat at the bar, ask for B, Justin, Audrey or Fred! They have a stellar staff, great atmosphere and some great music!! This is a spot definitely worth checking out! Cheers! read more
