Philadelphia, PA 19136
215.338.5113

6:40 -- 8:00 PM

Ramona: Corn chowder, salmon croquettes, potato pancakes, cole slaw, rolls, iced tea.

Jim: Corn chowder, roast turkey, mashed potatoes, corn fritters, rolls, iced tea.

This diner is one of my parents' favorite places to eat, so when we arrived in Philly for a wedding, we took them out to eat. I never miss a chance to have a turkey dinner, and Dining Car has one of the best -- there was plenty of meat, extra cranberry sauce, and poppy seed rolls. Ramona's mother made salmon croquettes, but these were a different shape, and she liked them.
Diner food is, of course, a staple of Philadelphia eats, and the food is usually great, low priced, and plentiful.
