Trolley Car Diner: A Restaurant Review

By Julian Whelan

Looking for a great, local place to eat? The Trolley Car Diner is the place to go!! It is located at 7619 Germantown Avenue, in the Mt Airy/Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. The front of the diner looks like a trolley car and there is an ice cream parlor in an old trolley car sitting in the parking lot of the restaurant.  Their service is great, their servers are very friendly, plus they have great diner food.
    Diner food is a wide variety of foods, such as cheesesteaks and salads or milkshakes and burgers or a grilled cheese . On my visit to the restaurant, my companions and I loved the food. The youngest, Niko, had a short  stack of french toast and lemonade. Sergey had a kid’s macaroni and cheese and chocolate milk. The older members of our group, Jane and my dad, had an eggplant grinder, small salad, a portobello burger, black and white bean chili, water and coffee. I had chicken fingers and french fries with honey mustard and fruit punch. Everyone was pleased with their chooses. The cost of the meal was reasonable and the service was very good. The servers were very friendly and checked often to see if we were happy.
   Ken Weinstein is the owner of the dinner. He also owns the Trolley Car Cafe and the Trolley Car Table Tennis Club both in East Falls. There is a mural on the side of the diner and Ken is one of the people who is painted in that mural.I helped paint that mural.
   I recommend the Trolley Car Diner for anyone who is in the Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy area and anyone who likes diner food.

  1. What a great article! We will have a Trolley Car fundraiser for Project Learn in January -- perhaps a reprint of your article will be in order!
