Great spot in the Reading Terminal Market. I was up early and looking for a small bite for breakfast without the long lines at some of the other breakfast spots. This was exactly what I wanted. Quick to order and make, and full of flavor. It was perfect, paired with a cup of coffee.
My wife and I stopped at Hatville Deli on a recent trip to Philly, and it was a great choice. My wife had been craving pastrami for weeks, and as we were wandering around Reading Terminal Market, we saw their photo of a big pastrami sandwich, that was it--lunch was decided. My wife went with the pastrami on marble rye, while I had the turkey breast on white, and both sandwiches were delicious. Sometimes, simple food done really well is the best, and that was definitely the case here. We paired our sandwiches with some local Goods chips, making for a perfect little lunch break. The service was friendly and efficient, and another big plus was the counter seating--valuable find in Reading Terminal Market. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in town!
To go or a counter to eat there. Quick service on a VERY busy day. Russian dressing was a little heavy for clean eating but it is served with a fork. Combo comes with plain chips (no other flavors) and can of pop. Good serving of corned beef.
Glad I shared half a sandwich with my friend to try both the bologna and corned beef. Busy food hall with tons of options. You cannot go wrong with any choices.
Sometimes a pastrami just hits that craving. Thank god for this place. The coleslaw, Russian dressing, and super delicate pastrami was so on point. Wow. So glad to have lunch here and tackle my craving!
So many places to choose from in Reading Terminal market, but I had the rare roast beef sandwich two days in a row for lunch. Great counter service. Fun to watch the sandwiches being made while eating.
We visited this deli in the Reading Market. There were so many choices of places to eat. The photos of the sandwiches drew me in and I was not disappointed. I had a Delicious roast beef sandwich on rye. The rye bread didn't really taste like rye bread, but that was ok because the roast beef was amazing! I could eat a sandwich at this place everyday and be very happy. The sandwich came with chips and a drink, which surprised me because it was inexpensive for all that you get. I paid an extra dollar to get a bottled vanilla soda. It was soooo good! My friend had a corned beef sandwich and he loved it. Our server was fast and friendly. Great service. The atmosphere of the Market was fun. So Many Choices! Yummy vanilla soda in a bottle Reasonable price
"What's the difference between a corned beef and a pastrami?" I asked. "Ummmm." Hard think from the person manning the counter. "I think pastrami has more spices in it." Good enough of an answer that I went for the pastrami combo, which came with the requisite slab of juicy deli pickle, a can of soda and a bag of potato chips for about $12. I loooooved the homemade Russian dressing dressing, the rye bread was just the right texture and all in all, it was hearty, tasty and filled me up. Located in the front of the RTM (Reading Terminal Market) with counter seating.
Can't beat the prices here. $8 for a Pastrami Special Sandwich is a steal. The pastrami is good, although I like mine a little thicker sliced usually. Not sure about the usage of white bread. Was a little too soft for this type of sandwich and missed the standard rye taste of a pastrami sandwich. Also probably need to dial back the amount of Russian Dressing used. Service was good and friendly. Value: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Overall I'll give them a 4
Very friendly counter service. Made sure the order was correct and recommended a few things to get v not get with the sandwiches. Ended up getting the smoked turkey special with provolone and tomato as well as the corned beef special with swiss. I'm usually a corned beef guy, but the smoked turkey was just on a different level. Very very good sandwiches. Reasonable price. Two things I wish were different: melt the cheese and not being located along the busy corridor of Reading Terminal Market
Absolutely delicious! Located within the famous Reading Terminal Market closest to the entrance off North 12th Street. There are limited seating for dining-in and a take-out order line. Once ordered, the sandwich was prepared fresh and within minutes packed and ready to go! The pastrami was seasoned perfectly and the dressing was delicious. The portions are hefty for the price. Of the many places available to eat, I am glad I stopped here. Will definitely be back for more. Enjoy!
Very good Pastrami Special sandwich today at Hatville Deli. Food came out quick, service was helpful, prices were cheap. Only real qualms were that 1) the to-go sandwich was a bit messy and 2) it would have been better with a toasted or warm element to it. Still a really good option in Reading Terminal Market!
Came here to try their famous cold pastrami sandwich Pros: even though the pastrami was cold, the mix of cheesy slaw and meat had a great balance of flavor. The service was fast and friendly Cons: I was not the biggest fan of the cold options but I believe this establishment is mainly for breakfast foods and coffee
Stumbled in to reading terminal market as I was waiting for nearby grocery store to open. They have ample counter seating and you can also do takeout. Got the sweet mayo on my wrap which was so tasty. Staff very friendly and patient. Can't wait to return! read more

I ordered a COUNTRY HAM sandwich and was given a honey ham sandwich. I called the store and of course they tried to play me and DID NOT OFFER TO MAKE IT RIGHT AT ALL. I am traveling and on my way back to Virginia. The least they could have done was refund my money instead of playing dumb. Honey ham is cheap as crap now I have paid $12 for some crap I could have made at home or better yet just went without! People who eat country ham clearly know the difference between country ham and honey ham. I looked at my receipt and it doesn't say country ham either! I would have done zero stars had it allowed. They wouldn't even toast my bread! To show you how cheap honey ham is I posted the 1/4lb. I purchased at Shoprite....and this is regular price! read more
With so many choices to choose from at Reading Terminal, where do you go for lunch? On a Thursday, a little before 12 pm, my husband and I ended up deciding to grab a bite to eat here after walking around the entire market. There was a long line for to go orders so we opted to order at the counter (counter seating is only for those dining in by the way). We ended up ordering: Roast Beef Special, $7.95 prior to tax ($8.59 with tax)- This signature sandwich comes with their coleslaw, made with their homemade Russian dressing, served on a nice tasty rye bread. And served with a pickle spear on the side. The roast beef was tender and just had that flavor that you would want in roast beef. But what I think what really sets this sandwich apart from other roast beef sandwiches is their cole slaw. Although a bit messy, the slaw just works well with the roast beef, making for the perfect sandwich. Since we had plans to try other food items at the Reading Terminal, we decided to just share this sandwich. But I think I would want to try the corned beef or the turkey sandwich if I was to come back here. Wait time for out sandwich to be made was really quick. The employee who was making the sandwiches was fast. She got the bread, placed the meat and the slaw with such finesse. And then sliced the sandwich down the middle and packed it for to go orders or plates it and delivers to the customer sitting at the counter. Although when we arrived there was a long line to make to go orders, the line did move quick (thought I would mention that in case you don't want to dine here). If you want a good sandwich, Hatville Deli will not disappoint. read more
We were overwhelmed with all of the possibilities at the Reading Terminal Market. We finally selected this counter. There sandwiches looked good and they had a small counter for customers to sit. We had the Lebanon bologna and corned beef combos. The combos included chips and a drink with the sandwich. The sandwiches were served with a pickle. Both sandwiches were good but not necessarily unique. The service was friendly and efficient. The sandwiches were promptly prepared to order. I'd recommend this deli to others. read more
The only thing preventing this from being a five star sandwich was that some cruel person put mustard on this masterpiece instead of the mayo I requested. I devoured it anyway. Perfect piles of thinly sliced corned beef on beautiful rye bread. Now I have no choice it to go back for another one. The bag of chips were good as well. They weren't like regular chips, the texture was more like a Pringle/funyun. read more
Great corned beef sandwich! Reading terminal has an overwhelming abundance of food options, but Hatville Deli is solid. My flight attendant friend stops by reading terminal often on layovers and recommended this sandwich, so spotting the sign felt like finding the promised land! Two friends and I had been eating our way through the market so we split one sandwich. We felt a bit bad about taking up three seats at their counter, but their service was so kind! They cut the sandwich into even thirds on separate plates and gave each of us a whole pickle! It seems like a family-owned joint and it was cute to see the kids behind the counter. read more
I ordered the corned beef sandwich combo. This came with chips, pickle and a drink. The sandwich had Russian dressing and coleslaw. The coleslaw and dressing really made the sandwich pop! The service was extremely fast! I had the meal in less than one minute. The servers were very nice as well. They have a bar for you to sit at and allow you to take the food away as well. read more

Hands down best corned beef special I've EVER HAD!!! I usually go to Herschel's but, they have them beat. The rye bread is a wonderfully chewy goodness and the corned beef is sliced super thin (shredded like) and it's super lean, which I have a hard time finding. I found hardly no signs of fat at all!!! My new fave sandwich spot!!! Kudos to the lady w the cool Bob haircut making the sandwiches! read more
So as you know there is no seating available anywhere within the Reading terminal. However, tables are available outside (highboy tables no chairs) the perimeter of the Reading Market. We bought a 1lb of the hickory bacon, very reliable and consistent quality product. Every time we drive from NYC, we make it a point to visit Reading Terminal and come here. We been buying bacon here now for the last 3 years but we been visiting the reading market for about 10 years and we truly love all the family owned businesses. Thank you for your quality products,we will continue to support your business. Your products are delicious and all natural. read more

At Reading Terminal Market, Hatville Deli. I ordered their corned beef special combo. It's a thinly shaved corned beef, coleslaw, and homemade Russian dressing on rye bread. It's accompanied by coke zero, chips, and a pickle. It was delicious!!!! Additionally, they didn't skimp on portion either!! The best part is their service!!! I was greeted with a big smile by Stephany!!!! Definitely made my day a lot better!!!! read more
Stopped in here for a bite after the car show. The RTM was packed, so we found some open seats with these guys. The deli was clean, the staff was friendly and ordering was quick! The food came out promptly as well. I went with the famous corned beef special which has, thinly shaved corn beef, Cole slaw and homemade Russian dressing on rye bread. It was sliced in half and came with a fork. I definitely needed the fork for the heaping portion of corn beef which wasn't overly salty, was tender and balanced well with the creamy sweetness of the Russian dressing. The dressing itself was not overly sweet and helped keep the sandwich together. The Cole slaw was a thin layer, the rye bread was a milder rye which helped balance the sandwich overall. I liked my experience here, it was of course a couple of bucks higher price wise because of the location. I rarely have a bad meal in the Reading Terminal Market and these guys kept that streak going! read more
