The Dining Car Market - Glenfinnan

New owners are horrible. It took our party of three over 1 hour to get the food we ordered and it was room temperature not hot). Was told by employee that male owner was yelling at employees in kitchen and refused to allow wait staff to warm cinnamon rolls so they was forced to serve cold! In addition, they were short-staffed. This never ever happened with prior owners in over 30 years!! New owners should be ashamed of themselves for not carrying on a Philly tradition of prior excellent, service, and food. No new owners were found walking around to welcome and introduce themselves. They have mighty big shoes to fill and are desperately failing :

One of things I love about going home to Philly is going to neighborhood diners with my friends and family. My friends and I went to the Dining Car this past Sunday and were happy we did. The food was delicious, the staff were helpful and friendly. No one rushes you out which is awesome when you have catching up to do with your Besties :0) We all enjoyed the butter cake, I enjoyed the French toast, and my friends enjoyed the Apple Crepes they were so happy they weren't made with canned apple pie filling. The wait staff are always going around to see if you want more coffee or tea. Next time, I want to try one (or more) of the tasty treats I saw in the bakery. It's a nice diner feel with plenty of conversation happening all around. Check them out!

This is an old school diner that's been around a long time. You wait in line to be seated. It went quick. The hostess was very friendly and efficient. Our server was super nice. The food is very good! We had one of the specials for fall. The apple crepes that also came with a piece of butter cake! The butter cake was delicious and very rich. It is definitely big enough to share. The apple crepes were also yummy so was the French toast. The cups of coffee and tea are endless! We were not rushed by the waitress at all. Several times we were offered more tea/ coffee. Prices are much more reasonable than a typical brunch spot. We tipped double since we sat for awhile.

If you see a woman with red hair, RUN to her. She was so wonderful. Her company I enjoyed so much, it definitely added to the experience. I had a bacon cheeseburger with a vanilla shake. Didn't disappoint, classic and lovely time.

In my early 20's, going to The Dining Car at 2am after a night out was the move. The breakfast always hit the spot. It's been several years since I visited and the food quality and service has not changed. We arrived around 10:30 in the morning. There were a couple people ahead of us, but it didn't look like too long of a wait so we stuck around. Once seated, our waiter took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. I was surprised to see avocado toast, which isn't an item I remember being available before. All in all, it had great flavor but the bread was too soft/soggy. I think it was partly due to the abundance of EVOO drizzled on the avocado. I loved the sun dried tomato flavored bread, though. Definitely a nice touch. I asked for scrambled eggs, and while they were good, I should have requested cheese mixed in. The home fries were hot and crispy. Unlimited refills on coffee and excellent service. The bakery items looked exquisite, and I'd like to come back to purchase a cake for my next special occasion.
