"This longtime staple in the Reading Terminal Market draws from Pennsylvania Dutch cooking traditions; it’s also a place you can find just about any of the breakfast meats that make Philly famous. Whether it be scrapple, Jersey-beloved pork roll, or the classic cream chipped beef, all are available at this busy morning destination — as sides, on toast, or tucked into a breakfast sandwich." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Another top-tier pancake option is from the Dutch Eating Place at Reading Terminal Market. The iconic diner serves a regular short stack (three frisbee-sized pancakes) for just six bucks, and the buttermilk flavor runs through each light and crispy-edged crevice. Or go for the blueberry, so that even if you douse your pancakes in a shower of syrup, you feel good knowing that you got your fruit serving in for the day." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Food halls exist all over the country, but how many of them serve scrapple? Come to this Pennsylvania Dutch diner inside of Reading Terminal Market to eat crisp, creamy-centered pork loaf not because it's sexy, but because it's part of Philly's DNA. Dutch Eating Place understands that Philly people have zero patience, so there’s a window where you can order your apple dumplings to go. But we usually like to sit around and talk about the seven things that pissed us off before noon." - candis mclean
"Dig into a hearty Amish morning meal at Dutch Eating Place, where diners can order stacks of pancakes and French toast alongside Pennsylvania Dutch specialties like scrapple and a bowlful of award-winning decadent apple dumplings. Note that it’s closed on Sundays." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens
"Head to the Arch Street side of Reading Terminal Market and grab a stool in front of the U-shaped counter at Dutch Eating Place for warm apple dumplings with cream, fat stacks of blueberry pancakes, fresh-cut fries, pork and sauerkraut, sides of scrapple, and Pennsylvania Dutch-style chicken pot pie (which is more stew than pie)." - Olivia DiPasquale
