“-We came through on a Saturday afternoon, about 3pm. It was the opposite of crowded- we were immediately seated, though it was odd that with the abundance of empty tables, even by section, we were placed right next to other full tables, making it a little awkward. When I first went in, I used the restroom where 2 of the toilets were clogged. After I used the toilet, i washed my hands and saw someone walk by me without washing and when I followed them out, they walked straight into the kitchens. Yes-an employee. My husband and I wanted something that wasn't fried fast food, and this was definitely better than choosing a mcdonald's or burger king. We ordered the pork belly sticks and the shareable plate. Everything was good. I enjoyed it all without the extra sauces, and my husband sampled the sauces, determining his favorites per meat. I also had a well made margarita (no complaints there!). Our waitress was kind. Overall- i enjoyed it (other than the employee not seeming to wash up) but my husband thought it was just alright. He said he would try a sandwich here next time. We would return if it meant skipping fried fast food.“
“Food: it was very tasty. However , my husband got the lobster Mac-n-cheese and gave it an “ok”. It lacked flavor. I had chicken primavera which I enjoyed but for the price I was hoping I’d actually get chicken in it. My father in law had 1 of the 3 that were available that evening pork chops special. he thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good , the drinks were good but it seemed overpriced. Expect $16 cocktails. We still will go backService : our waitress offered to turn up lights for us. They also took off two of our desserts for our birthday dinner which was unexpected and generous.Atmosphere : it’s trendy , I love the decor , but it’s Dark !! We sat in corner and very little lighting . The waitress did offer to turn up lights but I didn’t want to bother everyone else’s experience . We still enjoyed our time and will go back“
“We've only once had a problem getting a table, and that was on trivia night. It's never empty, but never full, either. We go about 2x a month and it's always just right. The wing sauces are inconsistent because they're all homemade and they measure by eye, but the wings themselves are always cooked perfectly. Sandwiches are good, so are soups and pasta. Don't really have any real criticism other than each Klinger's location is different. So if you had a bad experience at one location, that doesn't mean the others will be the same.“
“We're local but haven't been here since it was the old hotel. The renovation inside is really well done. Exposed stone walls and hardwood floors. Music was good and they have a decent sound system. They have a small dining area in the back if you want it quieter.Everything you see in the pics was great except the fries which were underdone and nothing special. 75 bucks for all this plus a few more drinks. Prices were spot on. We'd come back.“
“This place is amazing. They give so much food that they have to staple the takeout box closed. I haven't gotten one thing here that I haven't loved. So good!Parking: Medium sized shared lot with other businesses. Very full but parking always available.“

“I wanted to thank the Management of this establishment for their dedication and professionalism in addressing their client's concerns. Though I recently had a negative experience with one of my orders, the Management was quick to reach out and make it right. I don't normally write reviews and was not expecting anything out of doing so, but I was pleasantly surprised by their dedication to excellent service. Thank you Mama's!“
“Hands down the BEST fried chicken wings in the City of Reading, Pa & has been for more than 30 years. I wasn’t born in this City, but I’ve been eating these wings for more than 30 years strong. Many years ago, he used to have more tasty items for sale, but over the years has reduced it to what customers really want/need which is Soul Food. Headlined by the best fried chicken wings the City of Reading has to offer. Before I begin I must tell you that I am only here to review their wings & fries, delivery through DoorDash has only been available for a a month or so. Prior to this, it’s ALWAYS been pickup. The fries are the basic straight cut fry. They weren’t over or under cooked and matched up well with the wings. The added roll is a black thing. I am black so please don’t think that was a foul statement. Most of us, myself included will not eat fried chicken without bread. It doesn’t matter if 10 pounds of fries were included in the platter. There must be ? As you can see, each piece of chicken was coated and cooked properly. There was no darker or lighter pieces. Every piece of skin on every piece of chicken was the same color. This tells me that no matter how busy they get the food quality is consistent. Please note that this place gets real busy so sometimes DoorDash isn’t available. You may have to call and place your order then pick it up. These wings were served hot which is always a plus when being delivered. Seasoned to perfection with crunchy exterior and a juicy interior. Once you take a bite, you won’t stop eating until all of your wings are gone. Don’t even think about sharing them with a fellow newcomer. Pay the money and get everyone their own platter. Another plus was that I didn’t notice any hairs on my chicken. Now I’m not saying that your piece won’t have any, but mines didn’t. If you happen to stop by, tell them Big Dave sent ya. The best fried chicken wings in Reading, Pa. With that in mind, my name BigDaveIsFat says it ALL!“Get Your Grub On!”“
“Stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed the food. They have several reasonably priced lunch specials. The pizza was excellent. We tried both the Sicilan and the New York style pizzas and both were really good. Their menu offers traditional Italian food and also offers some items you don't always see with Pizza and Italian menus such as tacos, quesadelillas, empanadas and egg rolls so there is a lot of variety. Service was quick and our waitress was friendly. Overall we had a great experience.“

“Hoodies are on top of your head that is the only thing you could wear for the next time you go to bed so we could get some rest for the day and hope you have a good time together without you all the morning and I’m going back to the house now to get some rest and then I’ll go get some food for you and me please let me know what you want to do and if you’re not sure if that’s what you want I’ll let you know if I can come over and then I’ll let you know if I can do anything for you and then I’ll go get the stuff for the day and I’m not sure if you’re going back to the store to get me a wrap or whatever you want me to bring the other stuff for your birthday party“
“Forget all of the negative reviews. I order from this papa johns daily and their order accuracy and flavor is always on par. You can have it delivered or order in it doesn't matter and the staff is very friendly, something that is rare to come by with chain restaurants. My to go to order is chipotle wings and garlic Parmesan breadsticks.“
“The thought of it just dawned on me so at the very least, let me leave a detailed explanation here. For context, my father passed in March 2022 this happened prior to his passing. Some time in January/February my father called me because he was hungry. My father was mobile but that day wanted to use his wheel chair. I spent the days with him and would put him in bed and go home. This day he got out of bed wanting to make something to eat, eventually calls me and I suggest Dominos. It's the only restaurant we know that'll deliver after 10pm. I put in an online order, paid for it, put tip on the card. All my father had to do was wheel himself to the door and grab the pizza. What we didn't know than was my father was rapidly declining with an infection taking over his body and he was growing increasingly weaker by the minute.. That night he was feeling particularly weak and couldn't stand or carry the pizza back and roll himself to the kitchen. He expressed to the delivery guy he needed help, if he could set the pizza inside for him. Let me add, I understand the risk in todays world and fully commend this man for going above and beyond. The delivery guy didn't even hesitate, as I'm watching on a security camera inside the house. He wheels my father into the kitchen, sees my father was set up to eat in the living room, so he takes 1 pizza to put on the table. He takes the 2nd pizza and puts it in the fridge, at my fathers request. Goes above and beyond to move things around in the fridge so it fit. He then brings my father his soda and asks if he'd like it opened. He tries to let himself out but my father had to lock the door behind him. If that wasn't the case he would have gladly let himself out and my dad would have been beyond content with how he was cared for. It was a beautiful thing to watch in todays cultural climate. And if this review ever gets to you, I want you to know it's something I'll forever remember. To you, it was another day on the job. For me, it was relief that he wasn't alone to do all of those tasks alone, now realizing how weak he had gotten. I can't thank you enough for being a small piece Of happiness and smiles during a dark place for our family. I remember calling my father immediately after and both of us just boasting on what an amazing human you are. I spoke with a manager after this in hopes of being able to thank him directly and express my gratitude. The manager seemed to not be able to figure out or decipher who it was and wasn't willing to help me figure it out. It bothers me to this day, that you haven't been thanked for your kindness. Hopefully you see this and you know who you are!“
