When I come home, one of the places I love to go is The Dining Car, located in the Holmesburg section of Northeast Philly. It is literally right off the Academy Road exit of I-95. Located on Torresdale Ave., The Dining Car offers great eats, good prices and an awesome atmosphere. The front part, or the old part, I should say, takes you back to the 1940's, complete with art deco lighting, tiled floors, and small, train-type booths. The addition is a dining room area, carpeted and bigger to serve the bustling breakfast crowd. Some of their famous eats are their Cream of Chicken soup, Chicken Croquettes, and my personal fav - Creamed Chipped Beef, or as my family says, SOS. It also serves as a bakery as well, and is just as famous for the bakery's Jewish Apple Cake as it is for its Croquettes. This awesome diner was featured on Guy Fieri's "Triple D", Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. This diner is also one place where, yes, you can order your food and have a nice cocktail, too. It is one of the original diners left in Philly that is not a chain, and is still family owned. One caveat that you have to remember prior to going is that is a cash only establishment, so bring your cash. they do have an ATM for people like me who forget cash EVERY single time. Enjoy and Mangia! ..
