Gracie's is my home away from home. It's always so warm and welcoming there. The food is THE BEST on the planet and NOTHING is ever too much trouble. The staff are all so great and Gracie is the Mom you never knew you needed until now. She's is the glue that makes it my favorite place to visit! Can't say enough good things about the whole experience. And believe me- It is an experience!

I like the ambiance and the service was great, however, the food I had was absolutely terrible. I eat out a lot and honestly this was the worst meal I've ever had from appetizer to dessert. I had the crab bisque - it tasted like a bowl of sugar with some pieces of meat or vegetables or whatever because all you could taste was sugar, I know is had coconut in it but this was way too sweet, it almost tasted like they used Coco Lopez as the base, never had anything like it before. Incredible. I then had the crispy duck as an entree and the same overly sweet taste that was in the soup was in the entree - the duck was dry, the gnocchi was undercooked, dry and tasteless. I had the baklava for dessert and it was so tough that I had to saw it with a knife! For the price that this meal cost, it was shocking considering the quality of the meal. Once again, I can honestly say it was the worst meal I've ever had out.

We decided - nearly last minute - that we wanted to go out to dinner for our anniversary..NYE weekend of all weekends! Gracie's was suggested by my mom who had never been but heard great things. Luckily we were able to get a late reservation (8:30). We drove down this dark road wondering where this place could be and then BAM! NEON SIGN! "GRACIE'S"! Lovely outdoor area which made us sad we wouldn't be attending the NYE party they were having the next night. We entered the front door not really sure where to go so we stood there admiring the coziness. We were greeted by a smiling woman who instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. Gracie's is a charming restaurant with excellent staff and food. Our waitress offered suggestions when we weren't sure and she was spot on with her recommendations. The Jamaican curried crab bisque and the Korean wild boar were just amazing! And the drinks were well made and delicious. We enjoyed our visit and hope to celebrate another special occasion at (with?) Gracie's in the future. Thank you!

Went to Gracie's for a private holiday party and it did not disappoint. What a fun experience! I would have never guessed that there was such a quirky, eclectic, and somewhat fancy place so close to me! The building was extremely interesting- definitely want to see it during the day. The entire staff was incredible and was very insightful all night. They also didn't mind our party having a little fun. Food was lovely and the menu was a selection from their overall dinner menu. I had the salad and the Thai noodle dish. The vegan option was flavorful and filling. Drink selection was lovely as well as the dessert take set up. Looking forward to coming back again on my own during the day time. Would love to see the building and outside when the weather is warmer.

Arguably the best restaurant in Berks County. Beautiful interior and patio spaces, inspired menu with seasonal favorites, and the owner, Gracie, is charming. Outstanding place to celebrate special occasions.

To say the food was excellent is an understatement! It was absolutely amazing, from beginning to end! The review would be too lengthy so I’m just going to say we’re going back again and again and again! Phenomenal experience!

For the price of the food I was expecting better quality and more quantity. And with other places in the area offering better dishes at more competitive pricing I'm shocked to see this place has the ratings it does. We got their Garden Salad, Lamb Taverna and Gargenelli. We also got their corn bisque. The corn bisque was the best dish.Their garden salad was good but nothing amazing. And for it being sixteen bucks I should've received way more than I did. It didn't even fill out the takeout container.The lamb chops were decent and the orzo it came with was good as well.The gargenelli on the other hand, is a strange dish. Either they messed it up or someone really didn't think it through when creating the dish. The description says it comes with "seared filet TAIL" which to any normal person means lobster tail. And the fact that the sauce is a light buttery sauce, it make sense it would be with lobster tail. But for some reason it came with filet mignon. It didn't go with the sauce or the tomatoes and corn. Just a strange dish.The service was also really slow. It took them 1.5hrs to make our food, even Giovanni's on a super busy night gets things done faster.It's a cute place though that's all it really has going for it. I think locals just sort of adopt a "deal with it" attitude for the price to quality ratio.They also are not handicap or wheelchair friendly. Surprised the city hasn't fined them for that yet.I personally will not be coming back here.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair or handicap friendly. Gravel onsite makes it hard to maneuver in

Gracie's is a long time gourmet landmark for a reason, it's phenomenal for start to finish! For starters, try the Chef's Oysters w/ caviar and the She Crab Soup, which is beyond description good! I'm a fan of the Crispy Duck but recently enjoyed the Cowboy Pork Chop! For dessert, the Bob Marley chocolate egg roll is a must for 1st timers. The decor is artsy fun & service always on point! If you check online, there is often live music as well.
