The food is good. It's always busy. It's a tourist destination, but the locals go there too.

An absolute must in Pennsylvania. Lots of open markets, great food spots, and farm grown produce. Certain shops within the market have different hours. Park in the garage at the convention center to get your parking validated at a discounted rate for 2.5 hours. read more

A Must-Visit Philly Gem! Reading Terminal Market is an absolute gem! We visited on a busy Sunday, but the high energy made it even more fun. Our food highlights: Molly Malloy's: Great spot to sit down, relax, and grab a bite. Hershel's East Side Deli: Do not skip this! Watching them hand-carve the hot, tender meat right in front of you is amazing, and the sandwich was massive and delicious. Termini Bros Bakery: The ultimate sweet finish. They pipe the cream into the cannoli shell right when you order, keeping it amazingly fresh and crisp. Tips: Come Hungry: Pace yourself because you will want to try everything. Parking Hack: Make sure to validate your parking ticket at the market to knock off about $25! read more

8/18/2026 Wow what a sight to see and such a short walk to get there. This place is huge and really has something for everyone. I've never seen so much fresh produce, meats seafoods, goodies, smoothies you name it they got it. Plenty of food stalls and a bar in the back. I had a fantastic time just walking around taking it all in. Looking forward to coming back to try out all the things including those oysters read more

A friend of mine needed some hydration so we came to the Reading market for the best Philly experience!! So we got two chocolate chip cookies and two bottles of root beer. Apparently, we needed a sugar rush! And we got a burst of energy, and it was quite delightful to see the energy at Reading terminal market! As soon as we walked in the door, it was pretty exciting because it was a Philly cheesesteak restaurant, and there were crowds waiting to try their food. We walked past that, and passed the Greek market to the baked goods and soda area that also had wonderful Philly T-shirts and stationary. Great service and no lines there!! I look forward to coming again!! read more

Open patio type seating with a collaboration of eateries. The main reason we came here was to try Uncle Gus' Steaks where we had the famous Philly Cheese Steak that did live up to the hype. The market was extremely congested with hungry customers. After the cheese steaks we had gooey warm cookies and sampled a variety of olive oil. If you are ok with rubbing elbows with lots of humans and love food then check out this spot when in Philly. read more

This market is huge and has so many options! There is a little bit of everything, including breakfast, lunch, snacks, desserts, shops, and more. I have only been to a few places in here so far but it's really fun to walk around and see everything there is to offer. It does get crowded and can feel a little overwhelming though, so just be prepared. There's also a large seating area right outside which is a nice added touch. read more

First time visiting here while being in Philly, and inside is just so cute! I picked up a nice visual map from the info desk and found a few places I was interested in visiting. They have dining areas to sit down and eat, or you can eat your food while walking around. Either way, it was the place to be. I can see people spending their entire day here, and absolutely loving it :) They have AC on inside and you just can't complain. I visited three places: Fox and Son, Miller's Twist, and Bassetts Ice Cream. At Fox and Son, I tried their veggie cheddar jalapeño plant-based corn dog, which was yummy but very messy to eat. The pretzel line at Miller's was long but moved pretty fast. I got a regular pretzel and was mind blown at how fresh, soft, and delicious it was! Lastly, had to grab some ice cream to stay cool in the heat. The nice gentleman allowed me to sample two flavors before I decided to get a scoop each in a cup: English Toffee and Butterscotch Vanilla. I really enjoyed the crunch in the English Toffee. It felt really good eating it outside in the heat. 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

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

One of my favorite food markets I've been to during my travels. It's not too big or overwhelming, but it's packed with a variety of vendors. Here are some if the places I tried: Beiler's Bakery - The cookies were made fresh there and I enjoyed a slice of their red velvet cake. By George Pizza, Pasta & Cheesesteaks - Decent cheesesteaks here, but the bread was a little tough for my liking. I probably wouldn't return here as I had better cheesesteaks elsewhere. Famous 4th Street Cookie Company - This was my favorite bakery I tried. The cookies were a good size, tasty, and the service was great! Termini Brothers Bakery - Tried the pig ear as it was described as puffed pastry with cinnamon and sugar. I wouldn't recommend this at all since it was hard and crumbled easily. read more

Loved this food hall. Had breakfast here while visiting Philadelphia. They have something to cater to everyone's taste. Theres baked goods stuff, juice stalls, Asian food, German food, Indian etc. No one can visit here and be disappointed! There are plenty of tables to eat at. The inside looks typical of food halls in Asia. A bit dreary but relatively clean. 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

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.

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

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

I saw the crowds from the outside window and did not venture into the Reading Terminal Market. Typically, it is worth a visit to explore and enjoy the food and products here, and a way to support small businesses. The Philly Flower Show crowd made it difficult to maneuver. 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

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

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

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

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

Great atmosphere & food!! Definitely recommend to go visit and eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
