12 Best American Restaurants in Reading

“We stumbled upon Half & Half while searching for a place to get breakfast and stopped in with our 2 yo. Very cute interior with a friendly staff and delicious food. My wife absolutely loved her avocado toast with eggs and my breakfast sandwich was perfectly grilled. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes for our son who also chomped on my home fries and fresh fruit from my wife’s plate. The person who waited on us (the owner?) was exceptionally friendly and stopped off to talk through all of the various types of butter on the table (no, seriously, like four different kinds and all equally amazing!). We will definitely be back for lunch — and more butter.“

“I always get a great meal there . Breakfast or lunch it doesn’t matter. Look for any seasonal specials .“

“This place is a GEM! I got a ride over from Route 128 Honda to the train station... and I JUST missed the train to Boston. But it turns out that was a good thing, because I discovered this old timey, hole-in-the-wall diner. What a place! ♥️“

“Reason for the 2 stars for atmosphere. It is very loud. There are so many hard surfaces that the sound bounces everywhere! If the owner would change out the ceiling tiles and add sound absorption panels this place would be perfect. Their food and service are stellar, but you can't hold a conversation because its too loud“

“We held our monthly motorcycle meeting at Bertucci’s in Reading. We have anywhere from 16-24 attendees. As always the room was set up, rolls, oil, pitchers of water and menus waiting for us. Our Waiter Steven, recognizes us by name (quite a feat since we never sit in the same seats each month). He knows who gets what for drinks. We settle in and he then takes our orders. He has a great sense of humor and there is lots of laughter. After ordering., We hold our meeting. Meeting done, food is delivered. He checks back to be sure we are all set. Boxes for leftovers are brought along with our checks. Individual checks too! Steven makes our dining at Bertuccis a fun night. Thanks Steven!“

“As soon as I walked in I was greeted politely. I was then greeted by our server Joe! Who may I say was spectacular. Excellent service and his dedication to make sure everything was great was very reassuring. Best. Meatballs. Ever. Margherita pizza was amazing. We are definitely coming back thanks to Joe!!“

“Love Fuddruckers. The fresh made buns, quality meats and great toppings are a winner. I love a great burger and this is my favorite of all the burger places around. They have other good options too. The kids meals are a good size and value. I have tried Shake Shack, Five Guys, etc. and they do not begin to compare but all cost about the same. Nice spacious bright place to sit down that even has a fire place.

Kid-friendliness: Real meals for kids with a lot of food. My kids love this place so they can pick their drink, plenty of space and tasty food that they can customize.“

“I might be a bit bias, because I'm family.... But the chicken pot pies are as good today as they were years ago.☺️ I'm happy the food, service and...prices, are still amazing... It makes me proud of my family. You all have done amazing with Harrow's thanks for My birthday gift card “

“Yesterday my fellow book club members and I shared a wonderful lunch at Fusillis. The ten of us sat a very comfortable table. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Joanne was our server and was so helpful in recommending appetizers and desserts to share. She couldn’t do enough to ensure this experience was a memorable one. We highly recommend Fusillis and Joanne!!“

“our waitress Nicole was great“

“We usually call and check to see if our favorite server Christine is working, but she had the night off. So I ask the hostess to recommend a server who was good. Well She suggested Ashley, who was absolutely amazing! Great personality, great service, never felt rushed, checked back to see how everything was !! To top it off for the very first time in all the years I have been coming here this is the very first time we had a very nice Manager come to our table and ask how everything was!!! His name was Mike. He was walking around checking with other tables, helping deliver food. I was so impressed! I have not seen a Manager who has come out to do table visits at any restaurant we have been in for years!! This guy is a keeper!! Thank you for a great night! Colleen Falzone“

“I live in Woburn. I started with Mike's,...was eh...then moved on to Pete's which is great...but found Anthonys delivers to Woburn. this is my go to for a beef. and really salads and pizza are great. I go here once a week. funny story. a glitch happened and my food wasn't delivered. never happened before. the woman I spoke to made it right and sent me the 5 sandwiches on an agreed upon day as they were a surprise for my fellow managers. they aren't from here and never had a north shore beef. they were amazed. blown away. they asked me where I got this from. and I know I made them new regulars. you can't get this type of roast beef in Virginia. they were used to Arby's. but anyway...I will continue to be a loyal customer as they are consistent with their food. don't ever change please! great delivery people!! great staff!! thank you!“
