“I love the elegant, mature atmosphere here especially in the bar area. The service is always outstanding. The food is always delicious, never disappoints. Summer time the patio & live music is a nice change of scenery. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!“
“If you are a non smoker who dosn't like smoking thab this isnt the place for you. otherwise this place is great. It has a great enviroment of people, great food, and good prices. There would be 1 bartender during a full night and people would be served on time. That is great service.“
“We held a luncheon here after my father's funeral. The staff and service was amazing from the planning to the event. They made everything very easy during a difficult week for my family. The food was very good as well. Thank you so much!“
“Went for dinner on a Saturday around 5pm. Wait wasn’t long. Plenty of choices on the new menu. Meatloaf was delicious and not dry. Chicken and dumplings were tasty with a side of carrots. I believe the complete dinner was only about $17 but plenty of food- good portion size. Everything was delicious and the service was good. I was definitely not sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Willl be back when I get a chance. Everything was greaf.“
“We had my son’s 3rd birthday party here recently and everything was amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful, the space was clean, and the ice cream was amazing. We were allowed to move around tables and hang things on the wall which is really rare when you rent a place for a party. All the guests commented on how amazing this place was. We will definitely be back and will try to have my son’s party here next year.“
“Made reservations for 3pm for 5 adults and 3 children. We got there 10 mins before 3 and check in and they tell me that it will be an hour and a half wait! Like what are you talking about I made a reservation for 3 for 8 ppl and I have to now wait an hour and a half because you gave my table away before my reservation time. Wth kind of customer service is that and why even have it to make a reservation if they only going to give away your table to walk ins. So we decided to take tables side by side which was okay but very upset they gave table away for ppl that make reservations. If we decide to go back we are not gonna make reservations and see how that goes. Didnt know your considered a party if you have more than 7ppl. Waitress Courtney was awesome.“
“Kindness was present every step of the way. I did not get anything complicated so for me customer service was key. The manager, Victor and my waitress Abryana exceeded my expectations. Thank you from a stranger to this area, you made it feel like home.“
“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 went on burger night and they were indeed really good burgers, though the fries were underwhelming.Men's room is RIGHT by the entrance so be careful or you might bump into a guy who just peed and probably didn't wash his hands.It's very dark wood energy that reminds me of a men's lounge from the movies but over all a decent place to get a bite.Also they don't do take out at all which really bummed us out cuz someone in our party was sick and couldn't make it so we planned on getting take out for them but couldn't.“
“I appreciated the customer service & warm donuts. It shouldn't be so difficult to find as I'm not in downtown Reading that often. Of course be prepared to pay the meters, but the donut & smoothie hit the spot. It wouldn't hurt to add more signs or neon lights directing you to this business. I'd make a return trip when I'm in the area.“
“I had a 2200 mile fiber optic contract in Pittsburgh, PA. It lasted 12 weeks. I went to Longhorns at least once a week if not more often. I love the Outlaw steak. That's all I ever get due to the fantastic flavors and tenderness. My youngest daughter (23 yrs) joins me with the Outback. But, the rest of my family enjoys the filets, Salmon, and chicken entrees.I know that almost $30 for the Outlaw could sound a little expensive. But, when you compare the same steak ($50) at other restaurants. Do the math.... I'm not naming the restaurant. I've had two $50 steaks. One absolutely the best. The other not even close!! I know Longhorn is always consistent.PS. You definitely have to try the sweet potatoe with butter and cinnamon! It's like dessert.“
“Klingers at the airport is one of a kind in Pennsylvania, you can enjoy excellent food while watching planes land and takeoff, very breathtaking if you ask me. The owner “Mark” is very professional and cares about his customers experience! Mark can be seen interacting with customers and taking input on how to improve customer service so a rewarding experience can be achieved on a consistent basis, this is rare these days! 5 stars here from me!“
“I've lived in the area my entire life, but only over the past few years have been going here. Wish I would have started sooner. The food is delicious, the deserts are to die for and the atmosphere is authentic. Service is attentive as well. This place is a true gem!“
“I have been in hospitality for way longer then I should, 30+ years! Aniyza ran this huge bar all afternoon and did not miss a beat. She hustled, smiled and was on point the whole time I was there. I would have hired her for my restaurant & bar without hesitation and would have scheduled her for my busiest nights. She killed it! I was very impressed. A++Parking: Easy to find parking.“
“We had dinner at the Skylight Cafe and Bar before a concert at the Santander Performing Art Center (within walking distance). Skylight is a family run restaurant that specializes in Latin American cuisine. There are a few Italian entrees on the menu too. The hostess was very friendly and welcoming. My wife had a grilled chicken Caesar salad and I had a marinated grilled skirt steak with a side of sweet plantains. We hadn’t had plantains before and they were wonderful. We shared the Tres Leches cake for dessert. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Skylight Cafe.“
“You could never go wrong here. Service is excellent !!!! Management checks on you personally. My wife's birthday was amazing. They put happy birthday on her dessert. Food was just perfect. Not too much not too little.Well done thank you .!!!!!!!“
“We asked our server to please put fresh lettuce on the salad bar, and he did. I personally dont care for whatever the meat is on the salad bar... I don't think it's ham! We were kindly moved to another booth when the gentleman next to our first booth became ill.“
“It was a fun atmosphere the girl at the bar had it going on. I thought she was the bar manager but when I asked her if she is the bar manager she asked me if I’d like to speak to the bar manager. I wish I would know her name. She really kept her head in the game and seemed to watch over and help the young ladies whom were tending to people.“
“You feel like you're at a neighbor's house for some food when you eat here. Service is personal, atmosphere is comfortable. food tasted and looked more like home cooking so nothing fancy but still very good. Helps that it is low price.Parking: Limited parking so I'd guess that if it gets busy, might be hard to find a spot.“
“A couple friends and I stopped at Forrest Inn to pregame prior to an event. Seems like your typical dive bar when walking in. But Harry was a one man show; serving up drinks, cooking, running food, and amazing customer service. The food has cheap prices with great flavor. I went back for a second basket of the fresh cut fries. Definitely worth stopping in and checking it out. Daily drink specials too“
“Stopped in before concert. Staff is exceptional, very friendly and accommodating. I had a Diablo shrimp dinner that was exceptional and the homemade guacamole is killer. Empanadas, steak fajitas delicious. Prices are very reasonable…parking is a little difficult in the area on a Saturday night . Will definitely be back.“
“Today, I appreciated the opportunity to eat at the cafe,but my first experience of eating “Gourmand cafe” food was from having it catered at a work event . I appreciate the colorfulness and explosion of flavors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality food for the price point. I have had their burgers, fries(much of speciality fries),southwest blacked chicken salad and they have some of the best homemade chips(for catered events). They have a-welcoming cafe atmosphere with a wide selection on the menu. Friendly,accommodating staff and portion sizes are plentiful. Vegan,GF,V options available.“
“Very good atmosphere, the drinks we ordered were very good and the food was more than good, no one in the group of more than 7 people said they didn't like their dish so I can say that the food was very good.This is a small complaint because I don't speak much English, the menus were very difficult to understand even for native English speakers.“
“Met 2 coworkers for lunch. I ordered the tuna melt which came with fries or side salad. I got the side salad and sandwich for $11. My coworker got the same order but with fries. My other coworker got the side salad with a panini sandwich. The server was great and the food was great also. We all just drank water which came to the table in a glass bottle. Would definitely return.“
“Our first time there to celebrate my birthday, I was so happy with everything. We arrived 15 before closing, we thought it was 9pm but after our Awesome Dinner and speaking with our server she said No, it's 8pm, we want everyone to experience our restaurant. The food was so delicious, best meal ever, dessert was great and service wonderful. Highly recommend this hidden gem ❤️Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from entrance to dining room“
“My family and I are from Utah and we was in Reading visiting my son in college. We randomly chose this place off Google and I'm glad we went here. The guys were very friendly and the food oh my goodness was amazing. The only thing was the pork chops were a little dry but everything else was amazing. We got the fried chicken, chicken wings, fried pork chops, Mac n cheese, greens and fries. No complaints from us other than the pork chops little mishap but would definitely eat here again. Keep up the great cooking gentleman“
“Wonderful all around! Service, food and atmosphere were perfect. We loved everything about Judy’s and would go there again in a heartbeat. We were visiting from Connecticut (went to the Berks Jazz Fest) and decided to try Judy’s. The scallops and the chicken dishes were Spectacular. I even keep thinking about the delicious salad. Wish this place wasn’t 4 hours from home. ❤️?❤️“
“This place was nice. We started with nachos and I must say it was a big serving size! I went on to order their wings and fries. I am glad they place the sauce on the side because their wings are really delicious on their own. The fries were really good as well and they are not greedy in terms of how much they give. It was plenty. Also, don't get me started on the dessert we ordered...just perfection. Overall, the service was fast and everyone was kind.“
“Food was really good--I had ordered the fettuccine alfredo and it was very tasty! The waiter was super nice and very apologetic about the wait-- but it took us almost an hour and a half to get our dinner. The appetizer (mozz sticks) also took almost an hour- we asked the waiter about it and he said they were backed up (which is totally understandable) but we watched literally every other table getting their food and then leaving.Another thing to note--it is VERY pricey. $25 for chicken parm was more understandable since the chicken was HUGE that my friend got-- but I got plain alfredo and it was $20 and it was the amount that I'd normally see priced at $12-15 at most other restaurants. It was good- just not $20 good lol. Also don't bother ordering the mozz sticks- they were just ok and you only get 5 of them (and it's $10!!) I was in shock ? definitely expected there to be more of them or bigger ones for that price.All in all- nice atmosphere, friendly servers, food is pretty good. Just probably not worth the wait times or prices.“
“Okay, this spot is a gem! I’m quite a critic about taste, looks, and service and yo all ima say is they got the best wings in Reading, never would have thought. Im never disappointed with anything I try here!!! From the savory stuff to the sweets. I always have my lunch meetings here because its just so yummy and they have wifi! They are pretty quick despite being very busy and kinda small, I havnt had like OUTSTANDING customer service, but its not bad either hahaha. Just regular I guess, but yo that food tho!!! To die for“
“The food is pretty great, especially for our area! While their menu seems to have changed, the options are still great and we haven't ever found something that didn't interest everyone in our group. The staff are always great, and the atmosphere is so unique. Their Fried Pickles are AMAZING - 10/10 must try!“
“We stopped in before the Tom Segarra show last night. It was very busy but both the staff we interacted with were amazing and attentive and doing their best to get to everyone as quickly as humanly possible. As a bartender I notice those things so we waited a few minutes for a drink but not because they were not hustling and noticing who had been waiting a bit longer. The female bartender was lovely I didn't get her name but I complimented her hair and her curls and she took a moment to tell me how to do it myself..... She also got us our tab quickly so we could get to our show on time. Little things like that mean a lot thus the 5 stars across the board!! We will definitely be back soon for the wings????“
“The best breakfast-brunch-lunch-dessert place anywhere around! There is definitely something for everyone so it's great for meeting people there. Breakfast items are available all day :) There are multiple meat-free options. The falafel is one of my favorites. Today, I had a spinach feta pretzel wrap, and the braided soft pretzel was so good! I am especially called to this place in the colder months because there are so many comfort food options. The weekly specials add variety, but I always have a tough time choosing from the regular menu. I just really need to get here more often!!“
“The New York strip was not seasoned at all or seared. Tasted like it was stuck in the oven and then on the plate. The pancakes were extremelt dry. The bacon tasted like it was 2 days old. The coffee was cold. The waitresschecked on us once. I wanted a drink but couldn’t get her attention. There were 3 tables since they just opened.“
“Third Rail is one of our go-to local spots for burgers and apps! Their bleu cheese burger is my favorite, but I like most every burger I've tried there. Their menu is reasonably priced, and the location is cool -- right near a train track (hence the name). Other sides/appetizers we typically choose when dining in are their pierogis, quesadillas and of course their Old Bay fries. So good!“
“Excellent staff and food Enjoyed our evening not jammed packed and the blacked salmon was cooked perfect. Very friendly waitress and the manager even came over to speak to us. Great evening. We will be back. It's a club but you can try it out without joining“
“We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday at The Abbey! Malik coordinated everything perfectly. The Monk Rolls were a hit for every single one of our guests. The service was top-notch. Everyone complimented the cool space, too! Thank you, Chatty Monks in West Reading!“
“Can’t go wrong with breakfast and this place is better than the others in this area . Great atmosphere and very clean. Love the decorations and the French toast combo was excellent. Watched the chef from a distance and he looked very pleasant. So much food I got a box ?“
“I was DUMMY hungry and stumbled upon this fine establishment. Upon arrival Sophia got us seated and was able to receive my food in a fantastic reasonable amount of time. I'm definitely coming back next time I get my vacation days approved. Will tell all my friends and family about this place.“
“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 ?)“
“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.“
“Service was outstanding. I was able to easily obtain a fantastic ribeye (medium rare, great flavor), with all the sides and fixin's to go. Even though they were quite busy, my takeout order was quick (hadn't even finished my drink), on a Saturday night even. I will be sure to dine here again on my next trip.“
“We stopped in for lunch following a medical appt. It was a Wednesday around 12 noon. The place was not crowded at all -- indoors nearly every table was vacant and outdoors a few tables were vacant. (It was a low-humidity day.) I ordered a pizza + a salad; he ordered a cheeseburger + fries. The pizza was very good and since I can't eat cheese, one of my toppings was comped. The smallest pizza was more than I could finish for a lunch -- or a supper, for that matter, unless I were famished. The salad arrived in a 5" square dish -- romaine, assorted greens (the arugula was a nice touch), shredded carrot, diced tomatoes and a cucumber slice or two -- plus the tasty vinaigrette. His burger looked delicious with the melted cheese (provolone, I think) dripping down from it. He usually orders medium-rare but the middle was more done that that. Still, he had no complaints and seemed to enjoy it. The fries looked fantastic but I had enough to handle w/ the pizza and salad. Our server, Amaya, was attentive and helpful. The industrial feel of the place is not the type of decor I gravitate toward, typically, but it was fine. A lot of the tables indoors are of the high-table and high-stool variety. There is a large bar and you do not need to wait to be seated if you sit at the bar. This was not a concern with the place nearly empty upon our arrival. By the time we left, a large group (a busload?) had entered and gone to some side room (? they disappeared somewhere) and quite a few other tables had filled up. The food was very good here. It was $40 for the two of us for lunch w/ no booze - just waters and iced teas. It was probably $48 w/ tip, if I know my hubby. If I had been by myself, I probably would have taken an outdoor table, but with hubby along and a high today of 86, we opted for indoor seating. Great to know that this option exists for the "it's Friday night and no one in Berks eats at home on Friday night" syndrome.“
“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".“
“I would give more stars if I could. Everything about this place is fantastic. The bacon was so good I swear I heard a chorus of angels. We stopped for breakfast on Easter Sunday, and I couldn’t possibly imagine anything pre delicious. It has all the ambience of the 80s, and a family environment with great service. Everything was delicious and made with love.“
“Amazing food, Amazing servers even when you enter and leave the entrance you're greeted with is absolutely wonderful me and my partner have been here multiple times and have tried so many different things food is always Amazing and makes our day!“
“Went on Saturday March 30 with three adults, Two Toddlers and an Infant. The host and waiter were extremely friendly and personable! Can’t say enough about how good of an experience we had! Staff was kind and accommodating to our party and the food was delicious! Great place and I will definitely be returning and recommending this place again and again!!Kid-friendliness: Thy have high chairs and a chair to put your infant seat on! All the staff was mindful of the children and very kind, plus they gave the toddlers crayons!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp / baby stroller ramp, and a huge parking lot!“
