“We’ve been getting our kielbasa here since we were little kids. My mother and grandparents and aunts all grew up in the area and for any family function, holiday and New Year’s Eve we would always go here to get the smoked kielbasa to make kielbasa and sauerkraut. And I raised my kids on the same dishes. Especially making and getting their kielbasa from Swiacki Meats. Haven’t hat much time in between Christmas and now because I’ve been laid up going through cancer treatments between not feeling well and treatments and Dr appointments on Monday, sleeping all day yesterday, I will be making it to the shop today to get my kielbasa and sauerkraut, so I can make my Kielbasa, Sauerkraut, Pork and Potatoes. I can’t wait to eat that stuff tomorrow. Yumm Yumm Yummy. I will add some pictures as the cooking process progresses. ❤️❤️❤️”
“First time visiting this butcher shop and I was pleased with the quality of meat I received. I purchased the ribeye, it was very delicious. My family enjoyed the meats from here. Their meats are fresh and the customer service was one of the best I ever received from a butcher shop. I will be returning. Thank you.”
“grocery store meat quality is rapidly declining. kevin is a gift to this city. his products are always A++, and he'll deliver them to you no matter where you are.”
“The staff here is so sweet and their deals are AMAZING. So many fresh meats (they have vegetable too)! Also, this is probably the cleanest butcher I've ever visited.
I'll be back soon!!”
“I ate a meatball hoagie from here in like 2011 that I still think about. I have never before or since found one that slapped that hard - could not believe those out-of-the-warming-pot meatballs and fresh sliced prov could make that magic but it did.Also tried my friend’s sandwich which was the Italian (as advertised, a true classic - hard to find them like that anywhere but the old delis now) but I was so lost in the sauce of the meatballs that it didn’t matter.Also, the guy behind the counter? So helpful, so kind, so clearly proud of the place and the product.”
“Masha Allah my halal go to! Always clean, well stocked, courteous and patient staff, fresh meats, no meat smell when you walk in or through the store, that a big plus for me, I just would like knowledge of their shelf products so I could buy and use not just what I’m use to buying from the regular markets…. May Allah increase the good of their business Allahumma ameen”
“The freshest and cleanest cuts you will ever get! Wish I would have known about this place sooner! Please go! You won’t regret it! The owners are amazing! Super friendly and welcoming! Will be going every week!”
“I wanted to replicate a Christmas pork roast I had eaten in Denmark and it required a rather specific cut of meat. I tried the butcher down the block first and was told they don’t do pre-orders or custom cuts. I wandered just a few doors down and had such a better experience- very friendly and very helpful. They had the exact cut I needed ready and waiting for me when pickup was scheduled and the butcher walked me through it- showing me the cut and confirming it was correct. It was a high quality piece of fresh meat and was enjoyed all around!”
“First time down here and i must say that I'm impressed! Fresh meat specials at great prices. Jeff was very warm and welcoming, all the things that make up great customer service! "I'll be back"!?”
“I try my best to come here once every 6-8 weeks to stock up on my breakfast meats (turkey maple sausage, beef regular breakfast link, beef sage sausage, & our favorite beef bacon). We are a non pork household and I love that every pork sausage you normally can get is offered here in either the turkey or beef option. I’ve also purchased their steak, turkey wings, chicken wings, and party wings. I have no complaints with any of my items that I’ve purchased. I was recommended this market by a family member and I have recommended it to others. The only con is I can’t come here as often as I like because it’s too far away but when I’m in the area I stock up.”
“Been getting meat from here for the past several years. Best quality meat! They prepare it and cut it the way we want without any issues. Staff is always helpful and welcoming. I love their variety of candies from overseas too!”
“Best meat market around I love coming here it's so easy to just walk up ask for what u need and they get it ready for u. They have all kinds of meat deals this is our new spot”
“I am very happy with their service and they are meat price is very cheap I would recommend everyone to go there and buy meat from them the main person is awesome He's helping me with all the respect the question I ask so I recommend them.”
“So the other day, I found myself in a totally innocuous conversation, with just some dude I run into every Sunday, and interact for approx 1.5 mins..conversation was about how difficult it is to find turkey legs and thigh bones this time of year (I know, kinda weird conversation to have, don't judge), other than what you get on a whole turkey, which tend to be on the smaller size, turns out to be the owner of Giunta Butcher shop in Reading Terminal Market, and he has these delivered to my house...just like Oprah kinda used to say " you get to have a turkey roulade, everybody gets to have turkey roulade this year"...these things are massive, and the price, what some people look for in reviews, insanely reasonable, couldn't be more happier!!”
“Been shopping here since I was living in Philly but I've been living in Johnstown for going on 7yrs and still try to make it there the beginning of the month but now I haven't been now because yhey haven't been open for months... WHEN WILL YALL BE BACK OPEN”
“It was very clean, very friendly and had exactly what I was looking for which was some marinated fajita skirt steak haven't tried the skirt steak yet but I'm hoping it's going to be good”
“I see a review about out of date products on shelves. Most of these stores are run by families and it’s very labor intensive and sometimes have not put time aside to around checking expiry dates on products. The suppliers to these stores are often also very deceitful and they deliver the products which have already expired and unless the owner of the shop checks every box they are unlikely to catch the culprit suppliers who do this on purpose as they have a huge stock sitting on shelves for a very long time and they want to cheat the small store owner instead of getting rid of their out of date products .”
“Very well mannered staff and fairly priced items. The only thing this place could do better is add more products to their current selection and I'd give it 5 stars.”

“I love the friendly atmosphere when you order in. The food is good and when you order over the phone the food gets here nice and fast and be hot like they just took it off the stove.”
“They really good people they have good people skills and there prices really good to some people It's the prices but to me they have really good people skills they make u feel like family . Plus they have freash meats and chickens. Love there services”
“Clean and bright. Plenty of protein options, and spices for cultural cooking but, most importantly, the service is friendly and genuinely appreciative for your business.”
“Very convenient delivery to the Main Line. More personal service than House of Kosher and more variety than Wynnewood Giant or Acme. Turkey "bacon" much better than packaged. London Broil is excellent.”
“During sightseeing Reading market, I saw someone ordering like a regular would do. Then my instinct told me that it’s been frequented by locals. I took my chances and got Kielbasa, breakfast sausages, and took this regular guy’s recommendation for provolone Italian sausages. I cooked them home, and they tasted like dream! Next time in Philly, I’ll go back.”

“Great veggie selection. Everything was fresh and tasty. I only went in for vegetable shopping so I’ll amend this review when I return. As with all Asian markets, the smell is overwhelming when you first go in”
“While many people are quick to leave negative reviews, satisfied customers often stay silent. I purposely drive out of my way to visit this place, despite it being far from my home. The quality of their meat alone is unmatched - I've tried other places, but I always return here because nothing else compares.The workers focus on their jobs rather than making small talk with customers. It's important to understand that not everyone speaks English fluently, as this is an international market, not a typical American grocery store. For me, this place is exceptional. What starts as a trip to buy one item inevitably turns into a cart full of international products, which are, in my experience, the finest available in the market.”

“This was a very professional system and order from the get go. We ordered our lamb? in advance 7 days and was given a time frame to pickup the meat on the first which was today on our receipt. Owner and workers were very helpful in locating our lamb selection and were very courteous in asking how we lke the slaughter cut done. Thank you Al Baraka for a memorable experience and organice eggs ?. We definitely happy to have found this place ?”
“I love coming here to get meat! The girls that are usually working upfront always smile at me and treat me with kindness. My only complaint is that sometimes they have expired stuff on the shelves so I think they should do a little bit of a better job going through their inventory. That's the only reason why I took away one star. I just make sure to check expiration dates on anything I buy but other than that I love coming here!!!”
“My husband and I drive 2 hours every few months to come to Reading Terminal Market just to stock up on several lbs of Halteman's maple breakfast sausages. It's that good. We come prepared with a cooler and easily meet the $10 minimum to get a discount on parking.
These sausages even smell good when they're still raw. You're excited to cook them because they smell so good. Then they fill your kitchen with a delicious maple aroma as they cook. And the taste is even better than the smell - the perfect balance of sweet and savory. We've shared these sausages with a number of friends and they all want to know where we got them.”
