Check out the Etouffee of the Day over White Rice . When I was there yesterday the special was shrimp and crawfish Etoufee and it was amazing. Great spice, but not too overwhelming!
For a quick and flavorful lunch - get the tasty gambalaya (gumbo on top of the jambalaya ). And don't forget the side of fried mac and cheese !
The fried Mac n cheese balls and the gator gumbo are very good, but the bread pudding is the business. Probably one of the best I've had. The only place in Philly to buy Zapp's Voodoo Heat chips .
FANTASTIC! Ask to sample things to find your favorite because everything is good. Train wreck po' boy and shrimp po'boy are amazing. Get their creole mayo to take home!
You must try the Train Wreck Po Boy or the Jambalaya bowl . Be sure to get a loaf of cornbread ! The Train Wreck Po Boy is an excellent hangover cure .
The fried Mac and cheese balls with bacon were absolutely amazing. Also really enjoyed the chicken po boy !
The Shrimp po' boy is great, and the jambalaya , too. They'll let you sample pretty much anything, just ask for a taste!
The Train Wreck. Cheese steak with attitude.
The gumbo is killer, but don't forget about the bread pudding that's smothered in heavenly whiskey sauce .
The train wreck po boy is basically a Cajun cheesesteak and it’s SO GOOD!
etoufee seemed to be skimping on the crawfish/shrimp, but it definitely packed a flavorful punch. Wasn't really a fan of the Mac n cheese . Pretty mushy and not much flavor.
Can't go wrong with their alligator sausage !
Cajun snapper soup is to die for... all ive been craving ;)
Fried Mac and cheese . Try it without the sauce they give you; I think it's better
Cajun fries and gator sausage roll was goo
Try the Alligator Gumbo - My fav (via @Foodspotting)
The cheesesteak was good !
Train wreck Po Boy was delightful. Gumbo is always great!
My favorite place to eat in Reading Terminal Market !
Beignets served Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday!
Get the étouffée and the beignet (these sellout fast)
Fried Mac n Cheese ball and gator gumbo
You want the fried mac n cheese balls here.
Glory hallelujah! This is cajun food the way I like it!
The chicken and andouille gumbo was great. Wait staff is friendly and offers free samples
Their bread pudding with whiskey sause is the best!
That Bread Pudding is next level. So good.
Try the jambalaya bowl . It tastes great and it's only $7.
Gator gumbo is really good, just the right amount of spice
Beignets are sinfully good!
The jambalaya is good.
The train wreck is a great take on the philly cheesesteak
Andouille sausage breakfast po' boy is amazing
You can't go wrong with the shrimp étouffée
Pepper and egg with provolone Po Boy is off the charts!
Pass on the fried mac & cheese !
Get the fried Mac n' Cheese Balls !
Try everything! This place is the best.
Jambalaya is great! Try a sample!
EVERYTHING IS AMMAZING HERE. Best jambalaya ever.
I had the Muffaletta it was too salty for me
The Alfredo can't be beat!
The best bottled rootbeer i've ever had!
having lived in New Orleans, I was excited about an authentic King Cake - this was not it. Disappointed :-(
Best po boys in the city
Po' boys . Yum!
The Train Wreck is a piece of meaty heaven!
The Train Wreck Po Boy ...just get it!
Skip the jambalaya - too watery
The catfish po boy is amazing!
Beef brisket w/sharp provolone & broccoli rabe. Priciest sandwich on the menu @ $11 & worth every penny. Big enough for 2 meals.. No regrets. - Amy Chin

Great market. Lots of dining options from BBQ, Chinese, Burgers, to Philly Cheesesteaks. Even have chocolate stalls, fresh fish and farm goods from area Amish. Right next door to Hilton Garden Inn. - Mark B
A wonderful ice cream shop with rich and creamy flavors. Anything with chocolate is a must. - Justin Ordoveza
Their frostings are buttery and flavors subtle, but great. We enjoyed all the cupcakes we tried including Espresso, Apple Cinnamon, Maple, and Chocolate. - Cupcake Crusaders
