I am not a turkey fan but my husband got a sandwich from Here (the Thanksgiving dinner or something like that) so I had to try it. I must say the turkey was juicy and there was alot of it. I would recommend it! The turkey is sliced right in front of you and it has great flavor!!

Turkey for lunch is about as boring as it gets, but Original Turkey is in a different class than your basic deli turkey. Moist and full flavor and unexpectedly memorable. I also like that the menu provides a lot of options, from platters to sandwiches with every combination of sides. I was pleased with the cornbread, green beans and corn that I selected.

The turkey dinner sandwich with turkey, gravy stuffing and potatoes (as part of the sandwich) was loaded with carbs and probably not the healthiest selection. But it was absolutely delicious. So if you are willing to go for a caloric splurge this is the sandwich to get.

I have been coming to this spot for decades. And it has always been good. But lately they seem to have been letting the little things slip. The sandwiches are getting smaller and the bread thinner. (Shrinkflation?) They stopped giving pickles with the sandwiches and their drink selection has shrunk. Even the stuffing seems blander. Nothing that would make me slam the place. Like I said its the little things.

High on my list of places to stop next time I'm at the Reading Terminal Market! I got the turkey special - thick slices of moist turkey, cole slaw, Russian dressing and seedless rye. It was delicious. I loved everything about it. The folks were friendly and the service was fast. All the sides looked amazing, I plan to try to turkey dinner next time.

Delicious turkey clubs on fresh sourdough! We ended up getting sandwiches for lunch and actually saved them for our drive home the next day. They stayed really well on the sourdough (not soggy). The turkey was super flavorful! I highly recommend making a stop! You get a huge portion and it is a very filling meal!

What you see is what you get : a good, tasty, filling turkey sandwich. Just difficult to find a table in the food court, so don't come in the rush hour. A bit less of sauce would do, as handheld eating can turn into a bit of a mess.

The turkey was very moist and flavorful. The green beans were awful. Service was sharp and unfriendly. Inexcusable when they were not that busy. It was hard to find in the sea of other food stalls. There is not a map of the food stalls in reading market.

The smell of turkey drew me in but the taste is what would have me going back. I had the turkey dinner with two sides. Everything was delicious. I wish my own turkey came out as moist and tender.

We actually picked this place in Reading Terminal Market because the line wasn’t long. But it should have been! The sandwiches were delicious. Highly recommend the Reuben and the macaroni and cheese!

My favorite sandwich is turkey, specifically one that is leftover from being smoked the day before. These guys slice the bird fresh off the breast in front of you. It's juicy, succulent and flavorful and pretty darn close to what I get at home. Very generous with the meat.
