Reading Terminal Market - Where for lunch?

What is a good choice for a late lunch around this area on Monday of next week? A place with excellent food, which includes seafood, and where crowds do not result in long waits.



Reading Terminal Market - Where for lunch?


Do you mean a restaurant nearby Reading Terminal, or do you want to know which places to eat in the Reading Terminal itself?

I guess I said ';around this area';, but WITHIN is good, too.




Sorry I was just confused about how to answer your question because the Reading Terminal Market is a very popular lunch destination in itself, but it is set up more like food stands than restaurants. Some of the food stands have their own seating and you can also take your food to a central seating area. If you are going for a late lunch it should not be crowded.





As far as favorite places, you%26#39;ll get lots of opinions, but it really depends what type of food you like. 12th Street Cantina is a good place for Mexican. Lots of people rave about the roast beef sandwich at DiNics though I haven%26#39;t had it personally. Here%26#39;s a link to the ';restaurant'; directory.

There is also a new sports bar there called The Field House




As rocknroll52 says, RTM is a popular lunch destination with dozens of options. The Thai place (can%26#39;t remember the name) is a popular choice. The Pa Dutch places aren%26#39;t open on Monday, by the way.





If you%26#39;re in the mood for something with table service, however, you%26#39;ll have to look elsewhere. Chinatown is close. Vietnam is my favorite there.

If your willing to walk a few blocks, Estia is excellent. http://www.estiarestaurant.com/home.htm




Thanks to both. I like the idea of the Greek place for lunch. Or, 12th St. sounds universally approved.




Although it is a chain, Maggiano%26#39;s is right down the street, Nest to the parking deck. big portions, moderately priced, good food. Italian with seafood choices.




So many good options! The Red Curry Chicken is great at the Thai place (just look for the long line) and the roast pork and roast beef at DiNics are amazing. If you%26#39;re into Hoagies, Spataros (I%26#39;m totally botching that name and spelling but it%26#39;s close) is the best Italian hoagie around. Have a canoli at Termini%26#39;s for dessert!
