“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.”

“Clean establishment. Definitely know what you want, and if it’s a holiday call ahead to make sure they aren’t out. The kielbasa is delicious, and it’s one of those things where you know it’s Swiacki’s when you eat it. Traditional and timeless.”
“We visit from NJ whenever we have to buy in bulk. Their prices are very decent for all types of meat. At time you can get Veal as well. All halal. Halal beacon available there.”
“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.”
“I live in Drexel Hill went on Friday morning around 11 they were waiting on # 55 I was # 63 store was very clean very good customer service NICE selection of meats vegetables and grocery items .

“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 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.”
“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"!?”
“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!!”
“I went here the other day for a quick grocery run. The owner is so friendly and helped me find my favorite brand of basmati rice. Their premade hoagies are amazing!!! I bulk bought them to save me some meal prep time for the week. Four Seasons is my new go-to for my weekly restock.”

“Been a few years since I last visited. Their sausages were always so good! ? Then I really spoiled when I found out that make sausages seasoned to your own tastes!! 10lb minimum.
I remember some serious hots (with flavor!) from days gone by! ???
Anyway, time to get spoiled again...?”
“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!”
“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 .”

“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.”
“Lancaster Meat Market has the leanest cuts of meat that I've seen in Philly! They do fish, chicken, lamb - everything. And they have a full set of grocery shelves with condiments, sauces, spices - as well as a big freezer. You can get everything for a family barbecue or company picnic.They have 16 meat combo deals, and a bunch of Deli deals and even a breakfast special. Most important: nice people, too!”

“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”

“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 ?”
“The place is tidy and coordinated, and all Saudi, Gulf and Arab products are present in it, and the female cashier employees are very kind. It only needs to be regulated in prices, and if it was on a main street, it would be better.”
“The Best Meats! I live on Long Island, NY and am so glad I found Haltemann’s at the Reading Terminal Market. When I visited my nephew in Philadelphia.My sister and I would buy all our meats to take back home. And by the way it’s was for at least 3-4 months worth. When my nephew moved from Philadelphia, I was so upset but found out I can order online! Yessss! All their meat is high quality, tender and flavorful! I miss the butcher and girls at Reading Terminal Market so a big shout out to them! But I still get the best meat I’ve had in decades online! Also, my family and friends buy from them now too!”
