“ My mom and I have been wanting to try this spot for breakfast for awhile and we finally got around to it our last visit to reading terminal. It was well worth trying. The food was fantastic, service was quick, and atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The potatoes were very crispy and well seasoned. They also have their own seating, so if you prefer not to scramble for tables at reading terminal and want a good breakfast, this is the place for you. Will definitely be returning here soon! ”
“ So impressed with this Reading Terminal Market staple! Had the shrimp and grits (with crab gravy), and a dozen raw oysters. So good!!! I might start coming by every weekend to treat myself. Compliments all around to the staff. ”

“ Great food and great service. A gem right inside Reading Terminal Market! Definitely get the fried shrimp! ”
“ First time eating raw oyster and the staffs here were very kind on teaching us how to mix the ingedients to get the best sauces. I can tell that the oysters are all very fresh cause it does not trigger any allergic reaction on me. ”
“ Amazing oysters (Prince Edward Island) were exactly what I was craving, perfect amount of saltiness to combat it's subtle sweet! So yummy 4 ea or 6 for 22 And their scrapple is on the grill then deep fried delish. 5 a la carte Fun diner vibe as well, deluxe items such as Crab Cake Benedict! Fun spot ”
“ If you’re in the Reading Terminal stop on by. Nice spot to grab a quick breakfast before moving throughout the terminal or about to hit the Philly streets. Always fresh, hot, and quick and the staff is very friendly. ”
