The Dining Car blends cozy homestyle comfort food with a delightful in-house bakery, creating a warm community spot that encourages return visits.
"At the Dining Car in Torresdale, the chicken croquettes are good, and the French onion soup is solid, but the best options, hands down, are the baked goods. Definitely save room for thick slices of Jewish apple cake, Fat Elvis cake, cheesecake, pies, and cookies by the pound." - Olivia DiPasquale, Emily Teel
"The Dining Car has been around since the first man went to space in 1961. And if you come at night when its chrome exterior becomes neon-lit, you’ll feel out of time. But there are some things that draw you back to the present when you walk in, like a book trolley in the dining room with Outlander on it. Like most places on this list, this Holmesburg diner serves heavy, “Am I seeing double?” portions. You can order a three-egg Spanish omelet or signature apple walnut stuffed french toast (our favorite) and have enough leftovers for lunch, or dinner when you wrap up the rest of Outlander on a Kindle at home.

"Diner menus are often nearly identical, standing out from one another based solely on specialties. At the Dining Car in Torresdale, the chicken croquettes are good, and the French onion soup is solid, but the best part, hands down, is the baked goods. Definitely save room for thick slices of Jewish apple cake, Fat Elvis cake, cheesecake, pies, and cookies by the pound." - Olivia DiPasquale, Emily Teel
