They have the best food and staff - it’s a family-friendly restaurant. So glad they close yearly for summer vacay to give their team rest but I sure do miss my favorite spot. 😊👍“

“Great American restaurant with down very good food. Normal slightly upscale style place with a bar, booth and table seats. Family style. The twisted burger was cooked to perfection and was quite large. The sauce is very hot, so a little dab will go a long way. Thin cut fries as well. Service was good and friendly.“

“Walking in we were greeted by Kenny the owner. We sat at bar and enjoyed our service there with a very knowledgeable and friendly barmaid. The food was excellent and it was a very pleasant experience.

Parking: Very spacious parking lot in the back.“

“TLDR: Yes, worthy of the 5 stars.

Today was my first time experiencing Brooklyn Place and I must say that I am very pleased.
Went in thinking it was just a Cafe and I wanted to support a local Cafe in my area of Reading, to my surprise it is a full restaurant.
The staff is very polite and go above and beyond for their customers. Nice quiet place, comfortable atmosphere and plenty of parking in this shopping center.

My order was a large iced coffee, a veggie omelette with home fries, rye toast and a side of sausage. Total cost was $18 and some change.

Iced coffee: Best I have ever had. I have previously worked in cafes and Starbucks, also I am a coffee fiend, and try new places often. In my 37 years on this planet, I have never had an iced coffee this good. Just with cream and sugar.
Veggie Omelette: Delicious, but a tad bit on the greasy side. Very fair with the ingredients/fillings, without being too dense, still fluffy.
Home Fries: Soft, golden brown, seasoned cubes of joy. Very good. Personally I would like them fried just a little longer to give them a light crunch.
Rye Toast and Sausage: Bagged Rye sandwich bread, not seeded. Basic, but honestly we don't need some fancy bread or anything like that. A thumbs up for the toast and sausage links.

Definitely will be coming back and bringing family. They got themselves a new recurring customer.“

“Stopped by this place on a whim and was blown away! The staff was super friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the fries were crisp and hot. Great prices for the portion size. Will definitely come back!“

“Have been eating lunch here with the LHP crew regularly for the past few months!! Great food!!“

“Had the best time last night with a party of 8. All appetizers and dinners were delicious. I cannot stop thinking about the homemade tomato Gorgonzola vinaigrette. I almost licked my plate. You cannot beat this homemade food. We will be eating here regularly and will tell all of our friends!“

“Haven’t been to an Applebees in a VERY long time. Food was mediocre, but I still loved it anyway especially with the 2 for $25 deal. I’m really here to praise the amazing customer service. Instantly greeted at the door with smiles. Our server was friendly, happy and very attentive. The Manager (I believe DJ) checked on us a few times to make sure we were taken care of and he was very good with talking with the other tables as well to see how they were doing. Not a huge fan of restaurant chains but this Applebees definitely made me want to come back again.“

“Y'all, we went to Sunrise Mount Penn Deli (on Carsonia, where Jake's used to be) for lunch today, and I have got to say, we had the best chicken cheese steak and fries ever, their smoothies are made with the freshest fruit and veg and taste like a dream (we tried banana, mango, pineapple), and their ice cream (especially the coffee) is to die for. Everyone who works there is so friendly and happy, singing along with Sylas and getting to know us all. Hugs and smiles and just happiness all around in that place. We can't wait to go back!“

“They know everything about their products. They know where their turkeys are raised and the farmers who raise them. Excellent and local.“

“This place was so clean and everyone was so nice. Ashley was our waitress she was nice and checking on us making sure food is good and refills with drinks. The food was amazing! No complaints great service and experience.“

“Applebees has a kids eat free? Plus ages 10 to 18 years old. Might dine at restaurant only (not) bar area.“

“Dylan was the best server! Food was alright as well.“

“Aniyza and Niki are two of the best bartenders I have ever had. They both go above and beyond and always extremely pleasant. I never have an empty drink or bad experience with either of them.“

“Deluxe is our go to for breakfast any time of day. Just like being at home, but you don't have to do the dishes. Owner and staff are always smiling.“

“We cannot speak highly enough about Stokesay, their entire team, and, most importantly, Hannah Kufro, our Wedding Coordinator that we worked with! My wife and I signed our venue contract one-year to the date ahead of our big day, with a different coordinator, one who ultimately ended up transitioning to a different organization just a week before our tasting was scheduled. For a couple planning a wedding, especially so close to their big day, this would normally have been an incredibly stressful change to hear about, however, we were expeditiously contacted by Hannah and met her days later at our tasting – immediately after meeting her we knew we were in great hands, and we both agree that our initial impression was spot on. Hannah’s attention to detail, flexibility, and knowledge have continued to impress ourselves, our parents, and our guests who experienced a phenomenal wedding just this past weekend. She not only hit the ground running with our event, but confirmed several details and was able to work with us to ensure our wedding day was as perfect as possible. While I have personally sent messages to several friends I know who are engaged and looking for venues, I wanted to share this note here for those couples looking for venues – Stokesay should 100% be on your list; the charm, history, venue, and staff will all make your big day as perfect as you could ever dream of – if anything, just go check it out – once you see this in person you’ll see exactly what we are talking about. With deepest gratitude, Blake and Lindsay Tobias“

“Great food and great dessert and very nice people“

“The service was great and so was the food! We got the fried mozzarella, the frog burger and the caprese Flatbread. Everything was so delicious! We highly recommend! Can't wait to come back and try some new things“

“I have never had a bad experience, always fresh, creamy and delicious, with a lot of stuff that you can look around and purchase if you wanted to great staff great ice cream.“

“When I was growing up, the marvel ranch char grilled the burgers, they were so good. So they still char grill the burgers? On my way to see.“

“The food is AMAZING!! Compliments to Chef Chris and his team!! Keep up the good work!!“

“We go to Crossroads regular since it is close to work. We'll after lunch today, NEVER AGAIN. We were scolded by our waitress. We ordered a burger and fries and added the 3.99 charge for a salad. I ordered a crock of soup for 5.99 and ate my husbands salad. She pointed at us and said that is a big No,No,No. Then intern charged us for the salad bar of 10.99 and the extra fee to add to his meal of 3.99. When went up to pay they said we shared. My husband did not eat a salad I ate it instead of him. We paid for it so who cares who eats it, it was paid for. Argued to remove the side salad. What a going on. They kept saying we Shared why we did not we ate 1 salad and no soup from the salad bar, I paid extra for a different soup. We said we won't ever come back they said thats fine-bye. Instead of beginning polite the male in charge was rude. To pay 40.00 for lunch we don't need to go back to be treated like a 5 year old. We will take our business somewhere else on Route 61.“

“I picked this place for something different, we normally go to steak hose for birthdays. I'm so glad I did, our server, Riah and bartender Aaron were fantastic. we had so much fun playing slings, will be back for sure.“

“The food is delicious, their cocktails are amazing, & the staff are always friendly. I definitely recommend the Cowboy Pork Chop when they have it as a weekly special. It was the best pork chop we’ve ever had! The stewed tomatoes are also really good & I don’t even “love” tomatoesz“

“Food was really good. Had leftovers for two more days and it was still as good. Had the short ribs and Mac and cheese. Excellent. Wife had same thing except I got lobster Mac. Both dishes were very good. Service was slow and the meals took over 30 mins to get to us on a day that was far from busy. The inside looks like they are either doing some renovations or just fixing stuff here and there. Either way, the work was a bit of an ambiance killer. Will go again for the food. But it will be last time if service is the same.“

“The café environment is awesome. The food is even better. Every week I try something new and they do not disappoint. The avocado BLT is great. I just had the IOWA Tavern sandwich and that was great. I would recommend people to and eat here.“

“Amazing homemade Italian dinner and dessert.“

“Yummy burgers! Nice laid back atmosphere. Was not busy, sat in the bar area. Casual dining. They also have a more formal area for inside dining and the awesome beach deck and bar when the weather is good! Food and service are always top notch! Check it out, you can't go wrong!“

“Yummy, need I say more?!“

“Family friendly with great service and outstanding breakfast. I had the black steak with eggs and hash browns the best I ever had!! Congratulated the cook Beth and her assistance/owner Kathy who very humbly came to our table and thank us for our visit. I will definitely go back and highly recommend anyone to taste the delicious food. You will not regret it!!!!!Friendly reminder "Cash only".“

“The food was great, friendly service and clean environment! We will be back again!“

“My family and I came to dinner last night for my birthday. The service was great and the food was delicious! Thank you for a good birthday experience!“

“My friend and I dined here last evening and we had the most remarkable experience. Our server, Cheyenne, was absolutely incredible!! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely personable. The food was delicious and the overall experience was amazing. I will definitely be back!!“

“I just love that this bagel shop has a drive through. I have a bagel addiction and two small children that I hate to drag out of the car for short trips. NY Bagelry makes my life easier and fulfills my cravings. We love the blts, pizza bagels, french toast bagels and the fun flavors of muffins.“

“Went with my whole family. Very accommodating for a group of seven adults and three kids under 10. We did call ahead though since they have limited seating. Standard Americana diner foods. Generous portions and inexpensive. Service is fine. Have an option of hash brown or home fries for most of the breakfast options (the hash browns seemed the better of the two ?)“

“Gotham's vigilance extends beyond the shadows, even to the quaint corners of Reading, PA, where Batmanjawn, recently ventured into a unique and historic building. It was Judy's on Cherry, which stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, a sanctuary where even the Caped Crusader can find respite from the eternal battle against crime, a haven of culinary delights where heroes and ordinary folk alike can find solace in the simple pleasures of good food and great company. I was greeted by the warm glow of vaulted wooden ceilings and the aroma of freshly baked focaccia bread, a sensory experience fit for a hero. Gail, the hostess, with her gracious demeanor, welcomed me with the warmth of a trusted ally, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. The butternut squash soup started the meal off Bat-tastically. The old fashioned packed the punch of the Batmobile's turbo boost. The filet mignon, tender as a villain's heart after a night in Arkham, paired perfectly with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies that would make Alfred proud. But it wasn't just the food that left me in awe; it was the service, embodied by Steve, a stalwart guardian of hospitality, a waiter of unparalleled dedication and charm, whose smile could rival even the Joker's grin. With 17 years of service under his utility belt, he exemplified the hospitality that does justice to Judy's reputation of excellence. The unique cigarette-turned-magnet dispenser, made me marvel at the ingenuity of humanity, the resilience of the human spirit. It was transformed from nicotine machine to an artist’s dream. Poetic. As I stood atop the payment folio, passing my Judy’s gift card like a torch of patronage to Steve, I couldn't help but feel that Judy's on Cherry isn't just a restaurant; it's a sanctuary for the soul, a refuge where heroes and artists alike find solace in a world fraught with chaos. To Judy's, I say: may your lights never dim, your flavors never fade, and your legacy endure like the legend of the Batmanjawn.“
