    Disgusting Mac and cheese
    Isabel S.

    Out of the options here at Reading Terminal - do not eat here. The Mac and cheese is disgusting either way zero flavor and a runny white sauce. The chicken tenders are mid and when I asked for ranch the jerk who gave me my order said I had to get in line and pay for it ? An order doesn't come with 1 sauce ? There are tons of better options don't eat here.

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I definitely would. Located inside the Reading Terminal Market, Hunger Burger has the perfect burger. It's tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The employees are very nice and super thoughtful. Since it was my first time, they gave me a breakdown of the entire menu, which helped me decide on picking the Mac & Cheese Burger. I won't lie, this is my dream burger. I usually make this at home, so to find it here was a match made in heaven. The mac and cheese was creamy and did not overpower the burger. The combination delivered a mouthwatering blend of cheesy goodness and juicy, savory perfection I totally recommend this place. Whenever I return to Philly, this will be the first place I go to.

    We were in Phiy for a wedding and naturally we had to stop at the Reading Terminal Market! There are so many options in this market, its super hard to choose! But if youre in the mood for burgers, HB is the place to go! Their burgers are DELICIOUS! Their special sauce is amazing! I got the single with Bacon and my boyfriend got one with an egg and it was out of this world!! We also got the fries with the cheese and bacon, wow!! I definetly recommend this place when visiting this market!

    They have the best variety of mac and cheese.

    I know it is a burger place and they offered a fantastic menu. Unfortunately, we really didn't have a lot of time and this place was busy. Actually it was like a mad house. We wanted something quick and easy. Their Mac and cheeses looked amazing and that really caught my eye and it was a no brainer for me. They had a large fresh looking selection. Lobster, Crab or regular Mac and cheese. We went for the regular. It was creamy, not overly cheesy. You know how sometimes mac and cheese can be heavy and it can sit in your stomach like a rock. Not this mac and cheese it really just hit the spot. It was so good that we tried to go back the next day. They are located in a very large food hall reading terminal market. I was surprised that they were closed on Sundays. The food hall was ridiculously busy. The next time we are in the area we are definitely coming back. Maybe I will order a burger too :-)

    A popular eatery in the Reading Terminal Market. Service was friendly. Prices are reasonable considering the portions. Made to order. Everything was delicious! Scallop Potatoes: potatoes were soft, cheezy and creamy Fish Sandwich: huge portion, thick, flaky and crispy Burger: meaty and flavorful Crab mac&cheese: ooey-gooey cheeziness and big chunks of crab Breakfast Bowl: all of your favorites sauteed into a cheesy bowl- absolutely yummy

    Tried the Philbert Burger at Hunger Burger in the Reading Terminal Market. It's a SmashBurger and it was awesome! Service was friendly, place was busy and the food was served hot and fresh. The Philbert is basically a bacon cheese burger. I added fried onions and mustard, along with the ketchup and mayo that is part of the burger.

    Great burger, okay fries, little pricey even for the location. Given the market location I understand a price premium but found the price a little high even for that. The food was good though, except the fries which were slightly below average. Service was friendly and quick enough.

    The vibe: Slow, but friendly service. The guy at the register helped answer our questions & suggested we try the loaded fries since it's our first time trying them out. The fries: Ordered the loaded chicken bacon ranch fries & when they say loaded they mean it! Generous portion & enough to be an entree for 1-2 people depending on how hungry you are. Plenty of toppings, well seasoned, & the ranch sauce was a winner vs their homemade HB sauce (ketchup, mayo). Our only recommendation would be swap the HB sauce for BBQ sauce & more cheese sauce. Other than that, highly recommend!

    Mediterranean Salad (small)
    Amy S.

    I didn't have a high expectation here. I stopped here because I was indecisive and this had a shorter line than other. However, I am glad everything aligned correctly that I ended up here. I got the a Fun Guy Burger and a small Mediterranean Salad. The burger hit the spot. It was sooooo good. I got it without the HB sauce. The grilled mushrooms and onions made the burger extra special. The Mediterranean Salad was fresh and not over dressed. Glad I decided to get lunch here today. Overall- A+.

    First time at a Shake Shack! Arrived in town and wanted something quick and unique for dinner. I…read moreused to kiosk in store, grabbed a number and picked a table. Food was out quickly. The chicken sandwich was crispy and tender although I would have liked more sauce on the sandwich to balance out the bun. The crinkle cut fries had plenty of Parmesan on top and a side of a garlic aioli sauce that was delicious. The shake was thick and with large chucks of nuts. I ended up just using a spoon!

So when my wife said she wanted a little something while we wandered through a heatwave in Philadelphia, I thought this would be a safe harbor. It was not. We ordered cheese fries and a banana pudding milkshake. The fries arrived looking as if they had been cooked last Tuesday and kept under a damp towel since. The cheese was cold and had formed a sort of yellow skin. It reminded me of school cafeteria food, but with better marketing. The shake was okay. The banana flavor was nice enough. But the Vanilla Wafer Cookie Crumble inside was too ambitious for a straw. Every third sip turned into a game of suction-based roulette. You could pay fifty cents extra for rainbow sprinkles to support GLAAD. That was a good idea I could get behind. The execution, like the fries, was half-hearted. It felt more like an upsell than a cause. The worst part was the store itself. We had planned to sit inside for a few minutes. Restore our core temperatures to something in the double-digits. Regain a little hope. But the tables looked like they had not been cleaned since lunchtime and the floor was trying to become one with the food. We took our sad little snack and walked back to the hotel. Two stars. One for the idea of Shake Shack. One for the milkshake trying its best. That is all.

I've seen the chicken and waffles on their menu many times and was always hesitant on ordering it only because I didn't want to feel disappointment and possible regret for not ordering one of their well-known, delicious options of chicken sandwich (the Sando) or chicken fingers. I don't know why I was so afraid to order it other than thinking the waffle wouldn't be that good, but I was so very wrong. Their chicken and waffles are great! Let's start with the chicken... fried to perfection and slightly lathered in your choice of mild to spicy sauce, these chicken tenders are simply amazing... and huge. Bite into a chicken tender and juices shoot out of it. That's how juicy they are. The waffle (divided into quarters) was so good. Lightly crisped and dusted with powdered sugar on the outside and a beautiful soft texture inside, this is a great waffle. You get syrup for the waffle and your choice of sauce for the chicken. All for $12.95. So good! Other options include a Korean chicken nugget combo that includes steamed white rice and fries, chicken wraps, and wings. Service is pretty quick. I ordered to go ("ASAP - 10 mins") and the order was ready in 14, but please don't fault them for this. Once you taste the chicken, you will forgive them for any tardiness.

The Love is better. The space is beautiful, the service is consistently warm, and Stephen Starr's fingerprints are all over it. I love the painted white brick, the floral artwork along the walls, the street-level energy, and the outdoor seating. I also remember taking the elevator upstairs once. I can't remember whether we actually stayed and ate up there or asked to move back downstairs, but the space was charming and extremely private. It would be a great setting for a group dinner or event. Personally, I prefer downstairs. It's darker, livelier, and I like being at street level. The menu historically leaned more heavily into elevated Southern comfort food, which has never been my favorite style of cooking. That's probably why I've tended to prefer The Love for lunch over dinner, especially when Philadelphia has so many Starr restaurants competing for the same night out. I used to get what I remember as a salmon and farro bowl, although the menu appears to have evolved since then. Whatever the exact iteration was, I loved it. Fish and farro are both right in my wheelhouse. I've also enjoyed the kale salad and other lighter dishes. The thing I remember most vividly, though, is the cornbread. It is outrageously good and reason enough to order something for the table. I also give Starr credit for continuing to broaden the range of food styles in his portfolio. Once you've built restaurants across Italian, French, Mexican, English, steakhouses, seafood, and the rest, there are only so many obvious boxes left to check. The Love feels like its own lane: distinctly American, approachable, comfort-driven, and still polished enough to feel like a Starr restaurant. Looking at the menu now, it seems broader than I remember, with more options that appeal to me, and I'd be psyched to go back. The Love probably isn't the first Starr restaurant I'd choose purely based on cuisine, but that says more about the depth of his Philadelphia portfolio than it does about this restaurant. The room, hospitality, location, and execution are all excellent. I'd happily come here any day. Starr doesn't miss.

They have a great Taco Tuesday deal with $1 tacos, offering carnitas and chicken tacos as part of the special. The carnitas tacos were seasoned perfectly -- 8/10. The only thing that would elevate them even more would be adding pico. The chicken tacos were a 4/10 unfortunately. They lacked flavor and tasted like plain boiled chicken placed on a tortilla, which was disappointing. We also ordered the Tres Salsa and chips. Out of the three salsas, the green and red were the standouts and packed the most flavor. For drinks, we ordered margaritas on the rocks ($5, plus $2 additional for flavor). I tried mango and passion fruit -- the mango tasted more like orange juice, while the passion fruit maintained its flavor much better. If you're looking for a family-friendly indoor/outdoor spot, this is a great option. I noticed a good mix of couples and singles, which made for a nice atmosphere. Bar seating is limited at night, and outdoor seating closes around 7:00 PM. Overall, for Taco Tuesday, I'd give it a 7/10 -- great atmosphere and deals, but food consistency could use some work.
