5 stars! Love this place it was super close to our hotel and it had so many options for food! Just heads up it closes early like at 6pm some places within here even close earlier. Had a Philly obviously, a pork sandwich, and apple turnover all amazing! read more

FYI, Reading is pronounced "REDDING" - rhymes with sledding. Reading Terminal Market is worth a visit. Did you know that a non-profit runs the Reading Terminal? Did you know there are *zero* corporate chain businesses there? Just independent shops, many family-owned. Get ice cream, coffee, lunch, dinner, groceries, you name it. Think you know their hours? Back then the Market was open until 5pm. Now they're open until 6! And for a limited time (until end of July), there'll be a few evenings where they stay open until *7*: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZBN7YuGXV8/ Heard about the new outdoor Plaza? It's a brightly-lit seating area with a center bar. Find it on the south side of the Market, open 11am-7pm daily during Summer 2026: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZXy24Tx_sP/ (SO happy Filbert Street is pedestrian-only during this period.) On Instagram? Follow @rdgterminalmkt since someone took @readingterminalmarket already. Their social media team should really scoop up @readingterminalmarket.philly eh? read more

Now this is a legit market! Reminds me of living in DTLA and going to Grand Central Market. So many people, so many food options, so many places to try. We tried ice cream from Bassetts and it was ok. We also go donuts from Beilers and some of them were very good and standard, and the weird looking ones were super weird. Great place to warm up at when it is cold too. Tons of people in Phillies gear before the game. And lots of people hanging out enjoying beers. read more

Wow! Talk about so many cultures in one spot! Food choices from Asian, Greek, halal, African, American, etc. Fresh markets, produce stand, and boutiques to shop from too. Small tip: Keep your wallet in your front pocket and purse near you and you'll be fine from pick pocketers. read more

Of course they had a place whipping up grilled phillycheese steak sandwiches big enough to share. Enjoyed the variety, Caribbean restaurants, seafood, Italian, Mediterranean, Spanish, a really great home baked cookie place, cakes and coffees. I even hung out in the botanical herb shop. I was surprised how cheap things were. Giant home baked cookies were 2.00 or a bundle was cheaper. They had about 30 flavors. The Italian place called by George was great. Lasagna, egg plant Parmesan, breaded eggplant slice was $2.66. They had sides of spinach and other items. They had single breaded chicken cutlets that looked great. I got a delish piece of pineapple cornbread at a Jamaican type grill. I got little random choices at about 4-5 places. They had beautiful flowers for sale like white sunflower singles and also cupcakes, cannolis. They had fish places selling whole fishes on ice too. Most of the entree or platter plates were $14-16. These places prefer cash too! Bring $20 or so read more

I absolutely love coming here! There's such a great variety of shops and food vendors!! One of my favorite stops is Uncle Gus for their cheesesteaks. I love adding the sweet peppers! I'm usually not a fan of sesame seed rolls, but the flavors of the meat and toppings balances everything out perfectly. I also picked up some banana pudding from Sweet Nina's, and it was yummy! The only downside to my visit at SN-was the staff member who took my order wasn't very friendly. Maybe she wasn't a good day. I also grabbed some smoked cheddar from Riehl Deli that was outstanding. So creamy and addictive!! I should've bought more. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit when in Philly. read more

Nice market, full of different stores and restaurants that you can patronize. Reading terminal has everything from seafood markets, to Amish restaurants! It's a perfect place for folks who can't decide what they want to eat. read more

HUGE market with food options for everyone! It will be crowded. You will have to hover around the limited tables and be ready to pounce when someone leaves. A kind lady saw me hovering with my kids and beckoned us to sit in the one spare seat at her table and then they finished and left a minute later. Be courteous of your time and try not to sweat it if you can't make it. The bathrooms are in the back corner area. Plenty of toilets, but it's a little scungy with wet floors. At least the one changing table in the men's room seemed clean enough and in working order. Tourists, yes, they have cheesesteaks at a few stalls (even one of the vegan stands has their version). There are several delis and even a few shops to buy knickknacks or candy. Prices will vary from stall to stall, but overall, the prices are pretty reasonable. But plus that these are all independent; no chains allowed! Worth a visit. read more

Finally made a trip here after several visits to Philly. There is literally something for everyone! This place is like a foodie heaven! Yes, you can get cheesesteaks here. I enjoyed ice-cream from Bassets and pizza from By George while here. It was on a Saturday so it was very busy. Parking is limited. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Very busy but very fun market to explore with dozens of food stall options to try. We settled on Angelo's for a Philly cheesesteak and I can't remember the name of the place I got my turkey sandwich but it was some sort of bakery that also had bagel sandwiches. Massive portions, definately could split with someone. Not many places to sit so we went to the nearby concrete park. A must see for visiting Philly!! read more

This place can be crazy busy during high tourist times. We stopped in three times in the three days in town and one time we just left since it was so jammed. There are many good places to eat and different shops. It is an interesting mix with many Amish run businesses and international cuisines. Definitely a must stop when in town. It deserves its popular reputation. read more

The building is huge so you can easily spend a whole day inside. All staff were super helpful and the wares were so tempting to buy! read more

This market honestly has one of the best selections in the country! They have cheesesteaks, Asian food and a wide variety from different cuisines. The service is usually fast and efficient. Just be aware that they are often very busy to the point that it's hard to move around. And a lot of the options are closed on Sunday or Monday (dinic's as an example). But none of this will stop me from coming back every time I'm in Philly! It's a rite of passage. read more

This market is just....everything lmao. We've eaten here five times in four days because why wouldn't you?! It's seriously one of the single best things in Philidelphia and possibly the east coast. The market is awesome and if you don't make time to come here you're insane. The food and stuff available is all amazing and the energy of the place is second to none. It's one of the oldest and longest operating markets in USA history with good reason. It's just freaking awesome here. An absolute must visit bar none! read more

Interesting place. Lots to see and eat- eat eat eat . Parking is rough and expensive . There's butchers, coffee , fish - sandwiches - breakfast. Go to eat - there are little shops for some cool stuff too. Mom and pop vegetables too. It's worth a visit . read more

Very cool place to check out! So many food options! From cheese to pastries, meat counters to cheesesteaks, and more! DH Cheesesteaks - right next to another "popular" cheesesteak spot, but didn't have as long of a line so we opted for quick and really glad we did! The cheesesteaks were cheesy, not dry and the bread was really good! would definitely come back! Riehl Deli and Cheese shop - their customer service is top tier! Samples are put out and everything was so good! ended up getting their garlicky dill spread on their wheat thins was 10 out of 10! Prices are excellent as well. Definitely a must stop at when I'm in town. Termini Bros bakery - the almond croissant was so dang good, and all the other pastry and sweets options looked phenomenal! Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Reading Terminal Market is an absolute must visit in Philly and easily one of the best food markets in the country.

If you're a foodie this market is a MUST when in Philly! Loaded with different vendors selling all kinds of good eats from grocery staples to ready to eat delectable meals and treats. There is certainly something for everyone here! It was totally popping when in i went in and the nostalgia number calling from the deli felt so homey. After a wander through I landed on a mega chicken cutlet sandwich from Chef Beths which was AWESOME and finished with a PB sundae from bassetts. So many things I didn't get try but can't recommend stopping here enough! If I was local I'd be a regular! read more

Love Reading Market !!! Great place to go where you are sure to find a plethora of different and unique vendors. Love coming here for treats, small gifts, and lunch. Please note while the Market is opened seven days a week many of the Amish owned and operated stalls are closed on Sundays. Market is opened until 6pm and is very crowded during the lunch hour and tables during the lunch hour are a commodity. Love going during off hours for lunch or to do grab and go lunch. Many vendors have special pricing prior to closing as well. You can find everything from soft pretzels, various sandwiches, flowers, baked goods, Amish butter (yum, one of my favorites), candy, produce, ice cream, coffee drinks, tea, and yes some pretty incredible Chinese food. Great place to duck in and wonder /browse for items to bring back. This is one of my favorite places to go when in Philadelphia. Highly Recommend read more

If you like Pike Place Market in Seattle, St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, Grand Central Market in LA, the Ferry Building in San Francisco, or Mercado San Miguel in Madrid, you'll enjoy Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. I'd been here before, but that was many years ago. I stopped in again last week before catching a train to Newark. I was short on time but had the chance to snag the following: - Coffee beans (freshly roasted!) for my husband from The Head Nut - Apple fritter and sour cream donut from Beiler's Donuts - Pretzel dog and pretzel sticks from Miller's Twist These three stops only scratched the surface of the incredible array of choices here. Reading Terminal Market is heaven for food lovers in Philadelphia! read more

This place was SO COOL! I live in Baltimore and I think what Reading Terminal Market is is what ALL the marketplaces in Baltimore strive to be...and are failing miserably. This place was HUGE. It went on for miles in all directions. There were tons of people filling all the space. It was tight in there. I had to use all my aggressive navigation skills to get around. I was also constantly rubber necking to take in all the food stalls and vendors. I could have spent an entire day there exploring and would have seen maybe a third of what's there. Unfortunately I was only in town for a day, so aside from quickly walking through, I stopped at a bar for a really good cider. Overall, excellent visit and I definitely want to go back! read more

This was my very 1st time visiting Philly's Reading Terminal Market and it will definitely not be my last. This place is bustling from wall to wall. We went on Saturday mid morning and each and every aisle was full of people. We walked the entire market to get a full scope of the place before we decided to sit down to grab breakfast before getting lunch and desserts all in the same setting. The pretzel dogs and ham and cheese pretzel wraps were bomb. This market has everything including nice leather travel bags and purses. There are stand up eating tables in the back and tables in the middle of the market however, grab the first one you come across because it is crowded. Definitely a must go to when visiting Philly and we will be back because I am in love with this place. read more

Great place to go and see a ton options for food and even a couple of places to grab an alcoholic drink. Touristy, sure but there's a reason why you see so many people here and it's clear that the locals who work in neighboring buildings downtown come for lunch. read more

The Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia is awesome. We ventured into downtown and wanted to wander through the market to see what was available. As it turns out, everything is available. Cheeses, meats, donuts, ice cream, candies, desserts, coffee, and everything in between to include small rocks and crystals. Realistically you can spend a good 3-4 hours in this market alone. Wandering the aisles, ordering various food options from various vendors and then finding a seat to sit down and enjoy your food. That last part, finding a table to sit down and eat your food could be a bit tricky. When we first arrived at the market it was 9:30 a.m. and we were able to find a seat without much trouble. When we returned to the market for a second time, around 1:30 p.m. it was noticeably more packed inside and I had to do two loops before a table cleared up. There are so many vendors inside you really can't even come close to trying them all in one visit. I would like to come back and try some more places next time. As for parking, I was told to park at the Convention Center parking structure, but when I arrived there was a large sign stating that parking was full. I ended up finding a public parking lot at Commerce & N. 13th St which I parked at, but after 4 hours or so I think it cost me about $50. To be expected, unfortunately, for big city parking. read more

Yelp Review 2025 #246: I don't go to Philly often but every time I do, I have to go to Reading Terminal Market. I enjoy going to food halls and food markets to see different kinds of food before locking in which stalls/ food I want. Normally, I have a list of vendors I want to check out before coming here. Fortunately, I was staying at a hotel next door so I could come here as often as I want - which I did. Breakfast, lunch, dinner on different days - I went here. I went to long-standing establishments like Dinic's for pork sandwich, Termini for cannoli and Italian pastries. I also got some doughnuts from Beiler's Bakery. Miller's Twist for pretzels. Saami Somi for kachapouri. Vendors change every few years. So, I had to check out what's new. There are seafood vendors, cheese and deli meats vendors, produce, butcher shop. You can get anything from artisan cheeses, doughnuts, cakes, pretzels, pies, ice cream, pasta, cheesesteaks, cookies, Peking Duck, Filipino food, etc. all in one spot. They have plenty of tables - some have seats so you can stay put and enjoy everything you've picked up. Vendors take credit cards (at least the ones I went to) but it's smart to carry cash just in case. I saw ATMs inside the market. read more

This place needs a map, directory, app, tablet or something to literally show and categorize all of the shops and restaurants here. I walked the aisles trying to make decisions that were extremely difficult. Why difficult?! Because it involved taste buds and decision making skills that I don't always confidently make. LoL!!!! But I walked away with fresh squeezed lemonade, cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks, chocolate chip walnut cookies and spicy & sweet buffalo wings. Don't miss out on walking around and supporting businesses. read more

I have never seen such a place! I have seen and enjoyed Seattle's Pike Place Market and that's probably the closest comparison I can draw, but it still feels distant from the magic of the Reading Terminal Market. We visited on a Monday which gave us the perfect balance of having the majority of booths open, but much less of a crowd than what I assume it draws on the weekends. They offer food of all possible cuisines that you can think of and beyond. We were able to find seating to enjoy our grub and all considered, the market seemed clean and organized. I sure wish we were local to bring home some of the beautiful produce and cheeses. read more

This place is always an experience. Because I work nearby, I know what times to go to get in and out. I do like to visit on a Saturday with friends who are new to the area because it's nice to feel the atmosphere when it's alive and busy. This place has something for everyone--vegans, gluten-free, baked goods, pizza lovers, fudge enjoyers, breakfast, burgers, pizza, soul food, produce, chocolates, different cuts of meat, different kinds of seafood, Jamaican cuisine, Thai cuisine, Indonesian cuisine, Spanish cuisine--the list goes on! My go-to's are Beiler's donuts, by George (cheesesteaks, pizza, Italian food), Sweet Ninas (banana pudding), Ma Lessie's (soul food), Meullers chocolate, and my breakfast faves: Dutch Eating Place, Down Home Diner, & Molly Malloy's. read more

Whenever we're in Philly this is our last stop before heading home...and this weekend was no different. Unfortunately, we went at lunchtime, on the opening day of the flower show, and when there was a Pharma conference on the same day. To say the place was PACKED is an understatement. However, we came for a roast pork sandwich at Dinic's (check), sticky buns at Beiler's (check), cannoli from Termini Brothers (check), and a sampling of sausage and bacon (check). We waited in lines at all four places (especially Dinic's, but we knew we would so we just enjoyed talking to people in line with us and did some people watching. I'd say it was a success! read more
