Restaurants near Laureldale

“Stopped into Shirley's Tequila Bar for an impromptu lunch after hearing so many people recommend it, and I'm glad we finally did! We lucked out because it was $5 Margarita Monday, so of course we had to try a few. They have a great variety of margaritas, and the ones we sampled were delicious.

They've also got a good craft beer selection, plenty of parking, and a friendly, attentive bartender who made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down.

The real standout, though, was the Shirley's Fries. Sweet, salty, spicy...they're hands down some of the best fries I've had in a long time. If you go, they're a must-order.

We'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving Shirley's Tequila Bar a try!”

“From the moment you step in until you leave you are valued. Frank met us when we arrived insured our meals were up to his and his wife's standards. I have eaten meals at some of the finest dining restaurants around the country. What makes this different? One it is caring from service to ownership. Second, they are culinary chef's and its shows in the taste as well the presentation. I ate vegetables that I usually leave on the side, because it was hard to leave food on the plate. We usually have leftovers, but honestly the portions we appropriate for the price. This is not kid's place. This is a great place for adults to enjoy a meal that is the Best in Berks County and probably beyond. I have been to 48 states, and we usually go where the recommendations are. If you live anywhere near this place and you want a meal that you won't regret, please pick up the phone and call. You will never be disappointed. The best duck I have ever had. Really, you will not pick a wrong dish. Say hi to Frank, he really enjoys knowing that you came.”

“The desserts from The Cottage Bakery & Café were truly one of the highlights of our wedding day! From the moment we first tasted everything, we knew we were in for something special—and they absolutely delivered beyond our expectations. Our wedding cake was not only stunning, but every bite was pure perfection. The flavors were so fresh, rich, and beautifully balanced—nothing overly sweet, just incredibly delicious and thoughtfully made. The groom’s cake was just as amazing and such a fun, flavorful addition that our guests couldn’t stop talking about! And the gluten-free cupcakes… wow. I had multiple guests tell me they were some of the best gluten-free desserts they’ve ever had—honestly, you wouldn’t even know they were gluten-free! That was so important to us, and it meant a lot to be able to offer something that everyone could truly enjoy without feeling like they were missing out. We received so many compliments throughout the night about how incredible everything tasted—it was truly unforgettable. Dawn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She was so friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. Every email was answered quickly, every detail was thoughtfully handled, and she made the entire process feel easy and exciting. If you’re looking for desserts that not only look beautiful but taste absolutely amazing, The Cottage Bakery & Café is it. We couldn’t recommend them more!”

“Love this place! I have been coming here since the age of 20. Today I am 54 with the mercy and grace of God. My children now men come here to eat. Their food is phenomenal. 💝”

“amazing fries! Food is always wonderful. Friendly staff too.”

“We tried the paneer and chicken curries, and both were flavorful and enjoyable. The biryani was a bit disappointing—the chicken pieces felt slightly undercooked, and the overall taste could have been better. The curry portions were also a little on the smaller side.

The restaurant is clean, and the restroom is well maintained. There’s plenty of street parking, making it easy to visit. If you’re in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, this is a good place to stop for
Indian food.”

“Excellent place, food, and service. I can honestly say that, after visiting many states and several restaurants over the past two years, this is the best of them all. It's a hidden gem that my family and I discovered today. They should open more restaurants in other locations!”
