Guestbook
“ The Down Home Diner was a hit for our family of 5. The kids had chocolate moo. While hubby and I had orange juice. My husband had the southern omelet. I had the barnyard breakfast with cherry jam for my biscuit. Soooo yummy! Our daughter had the Carmel apple French toast. She said it was absolutely amazing! Prices were very reasonable. Only $89 for the 5 of us. The market was cool...we walked around that for a few minutes. Lots of options to shop. ”
“ So incredibly good! Definitely a go to if you’re in Philadelphia! The biscuits and cherry jam were so good! Blake was our server and she was phenomenal. Probably the best server I’ve had in years. Super quick, efficient and kind. ”
“ Honestly for someone visiting the city for the weekend it was a great place to eat breakfast Service was fast (came solo but might have to wait a bit for a party of 4+), food came fast, and food tasted great! If your looking for a bite to eat definitely the place. Pancakes soft and the cheesesteak omelette on point ”
“ The cheese steak omelette might not be pretty but it's super delicious. The home fries are crispy and cooked with care. Biscuit is fluffy and served with homemade cherry jam. Service is excellent. There's a line for a table but it moves fast. One of my favorite places in Reading Terminal Market. ”
“ From the time we walked in and all the way through our service everything was exceptionally amazing!!! This was my family first time here and will not be our last. The waitress, Blake, energy was awesome the moment we got to the table. If there was more stars I would give more ”
