Hatville Deli

Great spot inside the terminal. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is very quick and the staff super friendly.

Amazing spot for a bite to eat at reading terminal! Service was quick and excellent. We got the corned beef sandwich and roast beef sandwich. Both were amazing! Chips were great, not greasy or too salty!

It’s always good to eat those “home-style” sandwiches which has character and tradition. The Russian dressing has not changed a bit. The ham, pastrami, corned beef etc are always fresh. Sweetened Iced Tea (refillable) is just right for my taste and not-that-sweet which is a great combo with home style chips. Oh! Best part is when you dine-in, you’ll get a good convo to any person you sit with. 😎

Philly Cheesesteaks are great, no doubt, but when I’m in Philadelphia, my first stop is Reading Terminal Market—and specifically Hatville Deli—for their Famous Corned Beef Special. This sandwich is incredible: piled high with tender corned beef, homemade dressing, and coleslaw. Honestly, I’ve never had a bad meal there, and I’ve been back more times than I can count.

We always come here when we are visiting Philadelphia!!! The roast beef special is always amazing and their homemade dressing is delicious! We wish they had toasted the rye bread this time, but we came at closing, but something to remember for the future!!!

I've been going here since I was a child but they used to be owned by the Amish. However, I will no longer be supporting this business. Yesterday I went there to purchase a sandwich on my lunch break and the cashier refused to acknowledge or wait on me and other black people standing in line. Instead he was on the phone looking at something online and talking to his friend. The friend even told him customers were waiting once he looked over and saw who I was he shrugged and went back to talking to his friend. When another woman asked if I had ordered yet because she noticed he wouldn't acknowledge us customers she asked the woman making the sandwiches could she take our order she said the guy would take our order. He continued to ignore us. I told her he was too busy looking online and chatting. Me and 4 other black people just walked off and left. I'll never go back. I'll support businesses that want my business.

Decent sandwich and service. Good place to sit down and have lunch. Not the best sandwich in Reading Terminal Market, but if you are in the hurry, a quick bite can be had here..

that was the best sandwich ive ever had in my life . the smoked turkey was delicious and the sauce they use was just the perfect amount of sweet and savoriness. ill be back.

My wife and I stopped at Hatville Deli on a recent trip to Philly, and it was a great choice. My wife had been craving pastrami for weeks, and as we were wandering around Reading Terminal Market, we saw their photo of a big pastrami sandwich, that was it--lunch was decided. My wife went with the pastrami on marble rye, while I had the turkey breast on white, and both sandwiches were delicious. Sometimes, simple food done really well is the best, and that was definitely the case here. We paired our sandwiches with some local Goods chips, making for a perfect little lunch break. The service was friendly and efficient, and another big plus was the counter seating--valuable find in Reading Terminal Market. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in town!

Sometimes a pastrami just hits that craving. Thank god for this place. The coleslaw, Russian dressing, and super delicate pastrami was so on point. Wow. So glad to have lunch here and tackle my craving!

Glad I shared half a sandwich with my friend to try both the bologna and corned beef. Busy food hall with tons of options. You cannot go wrong with any choices.

Jalapeno cheddar cheese wrap with Salome egg and cheese. Onside grapes! Absolutely DELICIOUS. Great SERVICE

Very good Pastrami Special sandwich today at Hatville Deli. Food came out quick, service was helpful, prices were cheap. Only real qualms were that 1) the to-go sandwich was a bit messy and 2) it would have been better with a toasted or warm element to it. Still a really good option in Reading Terminal Market!

So many places to choose from in Reading Terminal market, but I had the rare roast beef sandwich two days in a row for lunch. Great counter service. Fun to watch the sandwiches being made while eating.

Best pastrami sandwich at Reading market! Service was quick and friendly and food was served fast and fresh.

We visited this deli in the Reading Market. There were so many choices of places to eat. The photos of the sandwiches drew me in and I was not disappointed. I had a Delicious roast beef sandwich on rye. The rye bread didn't really taste like rye bread, but that was ok because the roast beef was amazing! I could eat a sandwich at this place everyday and be very happy. The sandwich came with chips and a drink, which surprised me because it was inexpensive for all that you get. I paid an extra dollar to get a bottled vanilla soda. It was soooo good! My friend had a corned beef sandwich and he loved it. Our server was fast and friendly. Great service. The atmosphere of the Market was fun. So Many Choices! Yummy vanilla soda in a bottle Reasonable price

I ordered a COUNTRY HAM sandwich and was given a honey ham sandwich. I called the store and of course they tried to play me and DID NOT OFFER TO MAKE IT RIGHT AT ALL. I am traveling and on my way back to Virginia. The least they could have done was refund my money instead of playing dumb. Honey ham is cheap as crap now I have paid $12 for some crap I could have made at home or better yet just went without! People who eat country ham clearly know the difference between country ham and honey ham. I looked at my receipt and it doesn't say country ham either! I would have done zero stars had it allowed. They wouldn't even toast my bread! To show you how cheap honey ham is I posted the 1/4lb. I purchased at Shoprite....and this is regular price!

Absolutely delicious! Located within the famous Reading Terminal Market closest to the entrance off North 12th Street. There are limited seating for dining-in and a take-out order line. Once ordered, the sandwich was prepared fresh and within minutes packed and ready to go! The pastrami was seasoned perfectly and the dressing was delicious. The portions are hefty for the price. Of the many places available to eat, I am glad I stopped here. Will definitely be back for more. Enjoy!

Can't beat the prices here. $8 for a Pastrami Special Sandwich is a steal. The pastrami is good, although I like mine a little thicker sliced usually. Not sure about the usage of white bread. Was a little too soft for this type of sandwich and missed the standard rye taste of a pastrami sandwich. Also probably need to dial back the amount of Russian Dressing used. Service was good and friendly. Value: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Overall I'll give them a 4

"What's the difference between a corned beef and a pastrami?" I asked. "Ummmm." Hard think from the person manning the counter. "I think pastrami has more spices in it." Good enough of an answer that I went for the pastrami combo, which came with the requisite slab of juicy deli pickle, a can of soda and a bag of potato chips for about $12. I loooooved the homemade Russian dressing dressing, the rye bread was just the right texture and all in all, it was hearty, tasty and filled me up. Located in the front of the RTM (Reading Terminal Market) with counter seating.

Very friendly counter service. Made sure the order was correct and recommended a few things to get v not get with the sandwiches. Ended up getting the smoked turkey special with provolone and tomato as well as the corned beef special with swiss. I'm usually a corned beef guy, but the smoked turkey was just on a different level. Very very good sandwiches. Reasonable price. Two things I wish were different: melt the cheese and not being located along the busy corridor of Reading Terminal Market

Came here to try their famous cold pastrami sandwich Pros: even though the pastrami was cold, the mix of cheesy slaw and meat had a great balance of flavor. The service was fast and friendly Cons: I was not the biggest fan of the cold options but I believe this establishment is mainly for breakfast foods and coffee

Disappointing - We arrived 45 min before their posted closing time and sat at the counter to be told we were the last people they were serving. Dec 30 Service was rushed. Female server (brunette) had to be asked 3 times for water and seemed annoyed each time we re-asked. She got sidetracked each time with cleaning and restocking duties. The order was screwed up also. Such a disappointment!

First time visiting the market. The sandwiches looked so good we had to try one. We got the rare roast beef with swiss cheese and horseradish sauce. The sandwich was packed with meat and was delicious. We shared the sandwich between the two of us. I would go back again, but we live several states away! I would highly recommend this deli though if you are looking for a great sandwich not skimpy on the ingredients.

Everytime I come in the city this place doesn't disappoint. My corn beef sandwich is always on point. Get extra coleslaw and you're in heaven. I'm salivating just thinking of my sandwich again. Hit redo button at this place. Love sitting at the counter too,so Nostalgic.

I ordered the corned beef sandwich combo. This came with chips, pickle and a drink. The sandwich had Russian dressing and coleslaw. The coleslaw and dressing really made the sandwich pop! The service was extremely fast! I had the meal in less than one minute. The servers were very nice as well. They have a bar for you to sit at and allow you to take the food away as well.

Ok pastrami, nothing special. More similar to something you'd get from a grocery store deli than a true deli.

Let me tell you how Impressied I am with this place. I sat down to order and to my surprise this sweet 12 year old girl takes my order. She has OUTSTANDING customer service and amazed me at how well she ran the front end of the business. It doesn't stop there. Her 10 year old brother ran the register and took orders as well. MIND BLOWN! KUDOS to both parents who were there making our sandwiches. The children were so attentive, respectful and provided amazing service. Now onto the food. I ordered the Turkey Ranch Wrap: FRESH DELI meat. Served perfectly for a mid day lunch. Whenever I am in Philly I will be back.

Hands down best corned beef special I've EVER HAD!!! I usually go to Herschel's but, they have them beat. The rye bread is a wonderfully chewy goodness and the corned beef is sliced super thin (shredded like) and it's super lean, which I have a hard time finding. I found hardly no signs of fat at all!!! My new fave sandwich spot!!! Kudos to the lady w the cool Bob haircut making the sandwiches!

We were overwhelmed with all of the possibilities at the Reading Terminal Market. We finally selected this counter. There sandwiches looked good and they had a small counter for customers to sit. We had the Lebanon bologna and corned beef combos. The combos included chips and a drink with the sandwich. The sandwiches were served with a pickle. Both sandwiches were good but not necessarily unique. The service was friendly and efficient. The sandwiches were promptly prepared to order. I'd recommend this deli to others.

Great Corned Beef Special! Very clean restaurant. Highly recommend! Devon was great !

With so many choices to choose from at Reading Terminal, where do you go for lunch? On a Thursday, a little before 12 pm, my husband and I ended up deciding to grab a bite to eat here after walking around the entire market. There was a long line for to go orders so we opted to order at the counter (counter seating is only for those dining in by the way). We ended up ordering: Roast Beef Special, $7.95 prior to tax ($8.59 with tax)- This signature sandwich comes with their coleslaw, made with their homemade Russian dressing, served on a nice tasty rye bread. And served with a pickle spear on the side. The roast beef was tender and just had that flavor that you would want in roast beef. But what I think what really sets this sandwich apart from other roast beef sandwiches is their cole slaw. Although a bit messy, the slaw just works well with the roast beef, making for the perfect sandwich. Since we had plans to try other food items at the Reading Terminal, we decided to just share this sandwich. But I think I would want to try the corned beef or the turkey sandwich if I was to come back here. Wait time for out sandwich to be made was really quick. The employee who was making the sandwiches was fast. She got the bread, placed the meat and the slaw with such finesse. And then sliced the sandwich down the middle and packed it for to go orders or plates it and delivers to the customer sitting at the counter. Although when we arrived there was a long line to make to go orders, the line did move quick (thought I would mention that in case you don't want to dine here). If you want a good sandwich, Hatville Deli will not disappoint.

The only thing preventing this from being a five star sandwich was that some cruel person put mustard on this masterpiece instead of the mayo I requested. I devoured it anyway. Perfect piles of thinly sliced corned beef on beautiful rye bread. Now I have no choice it to go back for another one. The bag of chips were good as well. They weren't like regular chips, the texture was more like a Pringle/funyun.

Great corned beef sandwich! Reading terminal has an overwhelming abundance of food options, but Hatville Deli is solid. My flight attendant friend stops by reading terminal often on layovers and recommended this sandwich, so spotting the sign felt like finding the promised land! Two friends and I had been eating our way through the market so we split one sandwich. We felt a bit bad about taking up three seats at their counter, but their service was so kind! They cut the sandwich into even thirds on separate plates and gave each of us a whole pickle! It seems like a family-owned joint and it was cute to see the kids behind the counter.

Haven't been here since before Covid. It was exactly what we remembered. Fresh and fantastic. Great price too. Grab a seat and enjoy!!

So as you know there is no seating available anywhere within the Reading terminal. However, tables are available outside (highboy tables no chairs) the perimeter of the Reading Market. We bought a 1lb of the hickory bacon, very reliable and consistent quality product. Every time we drive from NYC, we make it a point to visit Reading Terminal and come here. We been buying bacon here now for the last 3 years but we been visiting the reading market for about 10 years and we truly love all the family owned businesses. Thank you for your quality products,we will continue to support your business. Your products are delicious and all natural.

Tried the pastrami sandwich at Hatville Deli in the Reading Terminal and it was great! Terminal was extra busy as it was lunchtime and sandwich was to die for, service was excellent, it was a lunch counter atmosphere. Definitely will return if I'm ever in the area again.

I walked past this and saw everyone sitting at the bar eating the same sandwich. Today, I finally went there to try the roast beef special. It is amazing!! I fully recommend it. I can't wait to go back to have it again.

At Reading Terminal Market, Hatville Deli. I ordered their corned beef special combo. It's a thinly shaved corned beef, coleslaw, and homemade Russian dressing on rye bread. It's accompanied by coke zero, chips, and a pickle. It was delicious!!!! Additionally, they didn't skimp on portion either!! The best part is their service!!! I was greeted with a big smile by Stephany!!!! Definitely made my day a lot better!!!!

This place is sooo goood it's better than any restaurant in the whole world. Every restaurant is disgusting compared to this place they even have their cute children working

Stopped by recently at closing and spilt a Corned Beef special with my wife. It was good. Thinly sliced corned beef, Russian dressing, sweet Cole slaw and on rye bread. The staff was very kind to accommodate our order as they were closing up for the day.

Stopped in here for a bite after the car show. The RTM was packed, so we found some open seats with these guys. The deli was clean, the staff was friendly and ordering was quick! The food came out promptly as well. I went with the famous corned beef special which has, thinly shaved corn beef, Cole slaw and homemade Russian dressing on rye bread. It was sliced in half and came with a fork. I definitely needed the fork for the heaping portion of corn beef which wasn't overly salty, was tender and balanced well with the creamy sweetness of the Russian dressing. The dressing itself was not overly sweet and helped keep the sandwich together. The Cole slaw was a thin layer, the rye bread was a milder rye which helped balance the sandwich overall. I liked my experience here, it was of course a couple of bucks higher price wise because of the location. I rarely have a bad meal in the Reading Terminal Market and these guys kept that streak going!

I never had a corn beef sandwich in my life until Hatville Deli. IT WAS AMAZING! The sauce was good, the beef was good, and the bread was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better first time corn beef sandwich experience haha. Wish we had something like Hatville Deli in the DC area. The staff was so friendly even though they were busy!!

A trip to Philly is not complete without a visit to Reading Terminal Market. Here you will find Hatville Deli serving up delicious sandwiches for those that brave the crowds. Today I was luck enough to stop by when it was not to busy, I got a seat at their counter right away. Be warned that they only seat about 8-10 people so come expecting to wait or taking your sandwich to go. I went with the famous Pastrami Special. The sandwich includes a mound of pastrami on rye bread, stuffed with cole slaw and Russian dressing. The sandwich also comes with a side of pickle. From my first bite I knew I had fallen in love. The Russian dressing really brings out the flavor of the pastrami. The pastrami is perfectly sliced and tasted like heaven. The added pickle is a nice finishing touch for your taste buds. Overall, great place for a delicious quick lunch. At $10 a sandwich it is a great deal. You can definitely catch me here again.

Best sandwich in the city? Forget the usual suspects, and instead head to the Reading Terminal Market (RTM) Wednesday thru Saturday. Hatville slices your lunchmeat fresh and to order. You've never had smoked turkey quite like this before. My favorite sandwich is the smoked turkey special on rye which includes cole slaw and russian dressing on top of the turkey on fresh rye bread. I can hardly resist the freshly made potato chips or the sweet tea. I've never actually deviate from this menu, but I'm positive the other fresh lunchmeats are just as tasty. For some reason, I can almost always score a seat at the counter. I think this place might just be RTM's best kept secret.

Wow. I just had the best corned beef sandwich I've ever had. Thinly shaved, slaw, homemade Russian dressing, chips and a pickle. Done! Doesn't get any better than this... next the the PA convention center in the farmers market. Check it out.

Meh. Was walking around reading terminal and wanted a place that wasn't super packed as I was in a bit of a rush, and ended up here. I was excited to try the buffalo chicken breast lunchmeat special, which includes chips and a soda for $9.95. Was a little turned off by the fact that I had to pay extra for lettuce and tomato. At most delis, this is included! Anyway, got the sandwich, which came with provolone and mayo on rye, and I added lettuce and tomato, potato chips, and a coke can. Turned out to be ~$12, which is a bit much if you ask me. I must say they did load the sandwich with lots of lunchmeat which I appreciated, though there was too much mayo. Bread wasn't my favorite. Chips were standard. Overall fine experience. Saw some in-house diners at deli counter with pickles on their plates. I assumed I'd be getting this with my to-go order, but I assumed wrong. I should have asked!

I went here with my sister and it was super yummy! We ordered the pastrami special to split. The portion size was great and it was a good size lunch for both of us. It was definitely busy on a Saturday, but we were able to find seats at the bar area. The service was great as well! I'll definitely be back!

Simple, quick, DELICIOUS. Take out counter on the side: Order, pay, get your sandwich within like a minute or two Roast Beef Special, about $7-$8. Piles of roast beef, russian dressing, coleslaw, on rye. Meat is heavenly and thick, but thinly sliced (does this make sense idk), sauce has just the right amount of tang, not too much coleslaw so not overbearing, and bread...oh my the softest and freshest bread. I love this place. I had it two days in a row and wasn't even mad tho. Service: Quick and friendly. I don't think I can get another deli sandwich elsewhere without comparing it to Hatvile.

This was delicious! My sister and I were able to split the pastrami sandwich which ended up being the perfect size. The combo came with a bag of chips and a drink. The service was great and the sandwich was juicy and tender. I will definitely be returning in the future!

I stopped by here after roaming around the terminal and Reuben seemed to look delicious. I have to say it was very good meat, excellent dressing, and coleslaw was just right. The only bad part for me was that I wanted the sandwich to be pressed and it came out cold. Nevertheless it was great food for the price and I would recommend this place to anyone

Got their famous corned beef special combo, which comes with chips and a small drink for about $11. The corn beef sandwich is so good, you can tell the quality of meat just worth the steep price. Highly recommend!

THE BEST!! I tried 3 of 'The Specials' - Pastrami, Turkey and Roast Beef. Every one was excellent! You can eat at the counter or take the deliciousness away to enjoy away from prying eyes when you inhale it. Fresh and delicious. Good customer service and prices are as expected $7-8 for a sandwich. No sides but who cares; the sandwich is the star of the show. If you finish one of these bad boys you'll be setup until dinner... Heck, go get one for dinner too. I did! Nowhere else can you get these Philly sandwiches better. Wish I had one now. 6 stars!!

I loved this little deli in the market - I went here twice! You can sit right there, order, and the service is fast & friendly. I had the roast beef; the meat tasted fresh, the russian dressing was amazing, and the coleslaw finished off the sandwich perfectly (sidenote: I am not usually a coleslaw girl). The pastrami sandwich was just as good as the roast beef. Good prices as well.

It's tough to go wrong in general when it comes to getting food in Reading terminal. This place has a great selection of sandwiches and has a nice deli if you are interested in taking something home. My friend and I both got the pastrami special and were in love with it. I have had my fair share of pastrami sandwiches and I would have to say this may be my favorite. You get a drink and chips with your sandwich. They have blazing fast service in making the sandwich and attending to your needs. They have a machine right in front of the counter seats that is just constantly cutting pastrami, it's pretty amazing to watch. The house sauce they put on the sandwich is legit. They even gave me an extra container of the sauce to use to eat my chips. Can't wait to come back here.

Everybody flocks to Carmen's (cheesesteak) or DiNic's (roast pork), and that's just fine with me. I'll let the crowds gather and long lines form at those Reading Terminal establishments, while I post up at the countertop at Hatville. Fresh cuts of quality meat, super affordable prices, and generally, no wait. I also am a fan of their homemade potato chips!! *Tip* Ask for a corned beef/pastrami combo, even though it's not listed on the menu. Thank me later!

Picked up a Hatville Deli sandwich for lunch on my way out of town -- what a great decision! Of all the things I tried at Reading Terminal Market, I think Hatville might be my fave food stand. I ordered a Roast beef & Provolone sandwich on Soft Rye with lettuce, tomato, & honey mustard. I mentioned that I wanted it cold, and she said, "That's the only way we make it!" WHAT A DREAM. I couldn't wait to get into the car & tear into that sandwich. And? It was just as good as I hoped it would be. Really amazing, flavorful, huge sandwich stacked with plenty of meat & cheese. Perfect for lunch! Next time I visit Philly, I'm not going to wait until my last day to stop by Hatville.
