I decided to get something sweet and tried the warm apple dumpling. Staff at the register was very friendly. She offered whipped or heavy cream to top off the dumpling. The dumpling was covered in a cinnamon apple sauce. The crust was flaky and filled with a good amount of sliced apples. It was warm, sweet and hit the spot. Next time I'm in the Philly area then I will come back and try their breakfast omelettes or apple cinnamon french toast. Prices looked reasonable.

Dined in for breakfast at 8:15 AM on 3/13. The place was busy. You just pick a seat and they will serve you. Luckily, we were able to find 2 seats next to people. Location: Inside of Reading Terminal Market. Pretty cool place with a lot of restaurants and markets. We ordered the Western omelette, Loaded Homefries, and the classic egg sandwich. It comes with a lot of food, so prepare your stomachs! Western omelette - 4/5, pretty standard for an omelette. Good ratio of vegetables, meat and cheese. I liked the apple raisin bread on the side with the butter. Loaded homefries - 4/5, tasty! But I wish it was actual fries. Everything just kind of mixed together. It is heavy for a breakfast side. Overall, for the price this place ain't bad for your standard breakfast. Next time I'll have to try their desserts and drinks.

Service - perfect! Food - perfect! Price - reasonable! I am very disappointed that we were only able to eat there once during our recent trip to Philly.

I had the chicken salad sandwich with fries and an iced. Son had the turkey sandwich with the chips. We also shared the cheese curds. My dad for the DEB burger and we finished with the apple dumpling. The chicken salad was good. I don't like a lot of pickles and vegetables and such in my chicken salad and this didn't seem to have any. When my plate came I was super excited because the fries were definitely fresh cut however they weren't very crispy. I bet a soak first would help crisp them up. The cheeee curds were great. I'm pretty hesitant to order cheese curds as some places don't do it right. But these were tasty. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. The burgers fell apart and ended up having to be eaten with a fork and oir sandwiches were pretty loaded. The apple dumpling is a whole apple inside. We got 2 orders for 4 of us and 1 would have been sufficient for the 4 of us so keep that in mind. The service was friendly and it was overall a great experience that I would recommend

Fantastic PA Dutch eating spot! I snagged a seat at the counter. I had a grilled turkey sandwich with hand-cut French fries. Everything was delicious, and the service was attentive and kind. When you're sitting at the counter, you have a great view of the Market!

I was so excited to try Dutch Eating Place in Reading Terminal Market (side note: I'm pretty sure every restaurant in the market is exceptional). The staff are so friendly and kind. They truly make you feel at home. We got the cheeseburger special with house fries and a strawberry lemonade. I love how fresh all of the items tasted. There's something really satisfying about the homemade taste of the fries. The strawberry lemonade was a classic (expect it to be pretty sweet). The star of the show was, of course, the hot apple dumpling. I love apple pie and this dessert absolutely satisfied that craving. Extremely reasonable prices for the quality of the food at Dutch Eating Place! I would definitely come back here, both for the food and the delightful service.

I've never had a Pennsylvania Dutch apple dumpling before so this felt like a rite of passage. My boyfriend recommended I try it with cream instead of whipped cream, and it did not disappoint. We ordered one hot apple dumpling and with tax it came out to $5.67. Line moves incredibly fast and you can ask for your dumpling warmed up. The cream creates an apple cinnamon "sauce" for the dumpling to soak up. The consistency is really soft, almost like eating raw dough but it's not bad! I would love to come back and try their pancakes (they looked so good while we watched the ladies here working hard cranking them out). And this spot smells incredible.

I love this place! Third or fourth time here while visiting Philly. You just can't get a better meal for the money. What a bargain. The food is fresh and the service is great! We had the creamed chip beef. I never had it that good. Definitely not out of a jar!! . The beef wasn't overly salted and tasted really fresh. The strawberry jam tastes exactly what grandma used to make fresh from her garden. So delicious. I think I ate a third of the jar...couldn't stop. The seating is first come first serve and if there's a wait, it usually goes fast. Well worth it. It was clean and servers were very efficient. I love the buzz of all the businesses around. It's a busy market and fun to experience. I will be back for sure!

In my 2+ years living here I've found that The Dutch Eating Place is one of the only Center City breakfast joints worth visiting. The overall concept is a traditional breakfast: fresh OJ, pancakes, omelettes; nothing avant garde or fancy. The selling point is that you can have a filling breakfast for under $10. They accept credit cards which, while unfitting with the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch vibe, is a welcomed convenience. Be mindful: to avoid waiting for a seat you'd do well to arrive at or before opening (08:00). I've seen every seat full by 08:15.
