About this place Dutch Eating Place

Dutch Eating Place is a Pennsylvania Dutch lunch counter inside Reading Terminal Market (1136 Arch Street) in Center City Philadelphia. It is a mainstream, cheap counter-service spot, not a gay venue. It is best known for big breakfasts, pancakes, scrapple and baked apple dumplings, served at counter stools. Google reviewers rate it 4.7 from about 1,100 reviews. Expect a queue at weekend breakfast, and note that the Pennsylvania Dutch merchants in the market keep shorter hours than the rest of the building and may close on Sundays. The Gayborhood is a few blocks south, around 12th and 13th Streets.

Delicious and authentic comfort food at a good price.

What a fun and delicious place to visit! Tasty food, great service, reasonable prices, and friendly people! It's often very busy, especially for breakfast, but they move people through pretty quickly - and yet one never seems rushed. Chat with the staff, chat with the guests, and eat hearty. If you're visiting Philly, you have to try this place! (I really, really recommend the chipped beef on toast!)

One of the best brunches I’ve had in the US. The food and service made it feel just like eating in a friend’s home kitchen!

You guys have to try the apple dumpling, not every day you can eat something that reminds you homemade dessert
