Review by Cleveland Wiegand

Down Home Diner is a hidden gem in Reading Terminal Market! ☕️

The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. I indulged in their fluffy pancakes and a classic omelet - both were delicious! The service was super friendly, with Jenny keeping my coffee full.

While it was a bit crowded, the wait was short, and I loved the casual vibe. If you’re a fan of hearty diner fare, this place is a must-visit. Don’t forget to try the chocolate milk! 🍫✨
