“Stumbled across this gem after a trip to Renningers market. We got the half wrap/soup combo with the chicken Caesar wrap and chicken corn chowder. The Chicken corn chowder is to DIE for! They offer homemade baked goods and healthier options which is always a plus for me. Prices can’t be beat. Our new breakfast/lunch go-to for sure.“

“We stopped in because we were visiting another local business and wanted to get food after. We stopped in and was pleasantly surprised on how the food tasted.My husband and I both got a cheese omelet with a side of crispy bacon. The omelet was delicious and huge and the bacon was ACTUALLY crispy.Service was friendly and fast. We would definitely go back!“

“We chose Morgan’s for our son’s rehearsal dinner. I worked with Patty for the planning over the past few months and everything was perfect and as promised. We were able to come in a bit early to decorate the tables to go with the wedding theme. Service was superb, everything at a good pace, did not feel rushed. We had a group of 26 and staff was absolutely amazing. At several times during the evening, our guests thanked us for the beautiful evening. I am so glad our son and future daughter-in-law had a night to remember. If I had to redo the evening, I would not change a thing.“

“The food was great… they were VARY NICE… but the place was a bit too fancy… and the claw machine is hard to get the stuffed animals out of. But other than that… it was great!!❤️

Kid-friendliness: They were vary nice to us… I’m a kid FYI. And I loved the kids special food❤️“

“Chino’s Place is a great place with wonderful food but let’s talk about the decor! Check out the pigs in the back room or the cutest cow picture above the lady’s potty to name a few of my favorites. Stop in for a great meal and atmosphere.“

“Good food and good service. Will be back.“

The food was amazing as well. Highly recommend getting the mashed potato bar. Overall 10/10 will be back!“

“Thank you, HOPS Fogelsville for a great Remembrance Dinner for our Son, Mike, on 2/7/25. We had a great time enjoying your delicious food, cozy room, friendly atmosphere, great waitresses, and more. Thank you to Carol H. for the ease of setting up this dinner! We hope we can have Mike’s Remembrance Dinner here every year in February!

“If you’re down on your luck it’s a great place to live. Jeep Cherokee has been living here for 2yrs. An rv has been here for about a year and nobody bothers you. This morning there were 8 cars that have been living there for the last week. No police activity and if they do come they are just here to say hello. They have informed that Cracker Barrel doesn’t have a problem with it so enjoy an extended stay. YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO SPEND A DOLLAR INSIDE. Throw trash on ground and the neighbors will pick it up Free living with no consequences. We travel with a camper trailer and have done overnights in our trailer but this is an abuse of the kindness of Cracker Barrel. These people are living here rent free. Neighbors don’t know who these people are“

“I have been staying at the Hyatt since it opened several years ago and dining at the Westside Grill on every stay. I frequent this hotel and am more than just a guest, bordering on being a resident due to my frequent travel into the Lehigh Valley. As a Globalist with Hyatt I cannot say enough good about the hotel and the Westside Grill. After having dinner there again this evening and having another outstanding experience I feel compelled to write this review. The dining room management of the Westside Grill is exceptional with Eileen, the Manager, doing an exceptional job. She is a walk around manager very visible in the dining room, greeting customers, and ensuring they are having a great dining experience. This evening I had the pleasure of having Deanna as my server and she did an outstanding job as well. Both Eileen and Deanna are very attentive insuring that the customer is well taken care of and not wanting for anything. I cannot say enough GOOD about this restaurant. It is top shelf, great abidance, exceptionally clean, supported by a full service bar and an exceptional menu and wine list. The Westside Grill has been consistent in service, quality, and presentation of food since I began dining there while staying at the hotel. I strongly recommend the Westside Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an exceptional dining experience. I bring often business associates with me for morning, afternoon, and evening business discussions at the Westside Grill and have never been disappointed. Both the Westside Grill and Hyatt Hotel have a great staff that are always wanting to make your dining experience and stay exceptional and memorable. It makes you want to come back!!! Finally, 5 Stars is not enough, it should be more like 10. Both the service and the meals at the Westside Grill are consistent always providing an exceptional dining experience.“

“Most amazing atmosphere, people, and food. All the staff are wonderful and you feel right at home. Our family absolutely loves the kids nights where we all go to play games and paint rocks together and we can’t wait for the nicer weather coming so we can all enjoy the beautiful porch.“

“fun easy atmosphere with karaoke and some good eats.“

“I love the “Deck” because I can bring my dog and they welcome dogs. Service is always good and the food always is tasty“

“My husband and I visit this location quite frequently. The food and drinks are always good, and the servers (especially Amaryllis, Jackie, and Jess) are always friendly, fun, kind, and accommodating. If you like Applebee's, this is the location you definitely want to visit!“

“The environment is top notch, food was excellent, and we had the most incredible, friendly, personable waitress!!! She made us feel at home, the service was incredible!!! I am 68 years old and I have gone to many restaurants in my life all around the country, but our waitress, Jacellah, went above and beyond, she was the most attentive and friendliest waitress that I have ever met in my life, which made the total experience something I will never forget! The total experience was the absolute best!!!“

“I so wish that I had asked for names - but this place is phenomenal! We came in last Tuesday and Wednesday for breaks from Dorney. We were in from Virginia. Tuesday we sat at a booth up at the bar and the whole experience totally rocked. I had a family member with a gluten sensitivity and the park had little to offer, so we came to BJs. Service was great, food was fantastic, end to end just a great time. Wednesday we sat out in the dining area and had a different server, and he was incredible. Super attentive, all over everything we needed, top notch all the way - and then… Yall blessed my bourbon loving heart. I glanced across the bar and saw pretty common whisky selections. I ordered a water. It was hot anyway. But then I caught the label of a bottle of Booker’s… the price per pour was so good I asked 3 times to verify. When your bartender told me people don’t often order bourbon like that in there, my next question was “where is the closest liquor store?” Because I knew I’d get lucky. Bingo. Two bottles of Bookers on the shelf at Cedar Crest. ECBP, and a handful of other solid bottles not commonly seen in my state outside allocated drops. So bourbon fans - get you a healthy pour of Booker’s at a killer price at BJs, order the Prime Rib dip sandwich because it’s crazy good, and then go see what’s on the shelf nearby afterwards.“

“Always a great experience when dining at the Savory Grille. This has been our date night spot for over 8 years and we have never been disappointed.“

“Bredjet and the rest of the staff are amazing. Food is great and everyone is friendly. Highly recommend“

“Incredible food and service! This spot literally was what we needed to discover. We will be coming back and recommending anyone in the area to stop in and grab some of the most delicious food we've had in the Allentown region. See you again very soon!“

“Great service! Excellent food!“

“The Wild Turkey Grill offers a delightful dining experience with delicious cuisine, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and stunning scenic views that enhance the overall enjoyment of the meal.“

“My family and I had lunch at Ozgood's today —our second time there and just as yummy as the first! The service was fantastic—our server was super friendly and attentive. I had the Asian grilled shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned and grilled just right. We also had burgers, and they were cooked to perfection—juicy and full of flavor. The lemonade was so refreshing and tasty, too. My three children loved it, which says a lot! The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, and everyone left full and happy. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food and a welcoming vibe. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I came all the way from Canada to viait friends and I stopped for bite to eat and everything was délicious and the service was excellent. I greatly recomend to anyone visiting.“

“My husband and I stopped here after a morning at the flea market and we’re glad we did! The gator bits were the yummiest thing we’ve had in a while! The prime rib sandwich was delicious as well! Will def go back when we’re in the area.“

“Friendly staff. Good sized portions. Not sure if they are, but the eggs taste very fresh (hey - it’s Oley. Farms everywhere- if a place serves eggs around here they should be local and fresh.). Cash only establishment but there is an ATM on site. One thing - I like hot tea with honey and sometimes the honey packets aren’t that good. Dark and gloppy(it’s probably fine - just unappetizing looking as it’s dropping into my tea). I know you probably have to buy a hundred at a time and don’t give out that much so (just a suggestion), it might be better to just not offer it. I consider it a “bonus condiment” lol. If server says “sorry we don’t have honey”and I end up using sugar - it’s not a big deal…and I would have just stopped writing after my compliment lol. I do love your place. It’s cozy.“

“This is my first time dining in this establishment. Indoors has pretty limiting seating but DO NOT let that stop you from coming. Cheap and delicious true diner food. The grilled cheese is gooey and delicious. The fries are regular delicious fries. The fried pickles are one of the best I’ve ever had. A appetizer and meal only costed 15 dollars in total. LOVE THIS! I’m surprised it was empty when we came in. A lot more people need to explore this place ! #smallbusinesssaturday“

“Our favorite location, famous fries and garlic parm wings are my favorite. My wife can’t get enough of the peanut butter pie. Staff is friendly! Our favorite spot to watch a big game at the bar“

“We always have a great time at BSH. So glad they support local talent. Aaron Dewald Music plays here and brings a great crowd. Great bar food and service!“

“OK, It's NOT a 5 star place but I will tell you what. The patrons and staff are GREAT!!!! Everyone is friendly, food is great, jukebox is a sing along fun fest. I took my girlfriend in there last night and it was so cool. Everyone was singing with the jukebox laughing and having a great time. Going back tonight for karaoke. It's not fancy of pretty or sophisticated,,,it is just a FUN BAR!!!!!!! Oh tea, THEY HAVE FRESH CUT FRENCH FRIES,,,,,DEEP FRIED!!! Sorry woke, mommy and daddy basement living tree hugging skirt wearing gender neutral ball babies,,,,PROBABLY not a place for you!!!! They SMOKE IN THERE AND SING PATRIOTIC SONGS TOO !!!!“

“What a great place to host a private surprise birthday party ! We had such a special time here today. The staff is the best!! 5 stars !! I would highly recommend for all your special events. Great food, plenty of off street parking and wonderful atmosphere !! We will be back.“

“Took my boyfriend here for his first time tonight! I love Valentino's and have been coming here since I'm a kid! The food was delicious as always and our server was truly the nicest and sweetest young woman ever! She even made us laugh! I don't know her name but thank you so much for the wonderful dining experience! This world is a cold one, stay sweet!“

“We hadn’t been here in a few years. We decided to give it another try and really enjoyed our meal. My husband had the steak fajita bowl and I had an awesome burger. The server was very attentive also. We will definitely be back.“

“Will not being going back after my husband and I recent visit. After being seated and waiting more than 15 minutes to be waited on while a waitress walked by us twice ignoring us and two other couples came and were seated near us and were waited on right away, we walked out! No one said a word. Another turn off, there obsessed with vacuuming and sweeping the floor. Yes l like a clean restaurant but not vacuuming or sweeping done by our table while were trying to have a peaceful meal and dust blowing around in the air. Wont be going back.“

“We love going to marks! Love the atmosphere, food, milkshakes and the staff is always super friendly!!“

“Good food. Nice waitress. Decent prices.“

“I had a wonderful experience my waitress was the BEST. Ask for Gianna“

“My dinner was very good. 4 out of 5 stars. Nice atmosphere. I definitely would come back“

“Great food for a great price. best wings in the game hands down“

“Some of the best food this town has to offer with fair prices! Definitely need to visit it if you haven't.“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.“

“Britney is the best that’s why you should go.“

“The best is definitely Trapp Door! We frequently visit this place with our family. This past November, Jenn and Lee prepared my rehearsal dinner, and they did a fantastic job! They were simple to deal with, assisted us in customising our menu to match our spending limit, presented AMAZING food (our visitors still talk about it), and offered first-rate service. For a romantic evening, I'd strongly recommend Trapp Door. You should also check out their food truck/catering services for your upcoming event.“
