“Dentinee is the best and so attentive and quick! Just love her service”
“If you haven't been here, you're missing out! Phenomenal food. Made to order, absolutely delicious and the staff are fantastic!”
“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”

“I took my daughter to her appointment and needed something to eat. I spotted this wonderful place. I went in and ordered the fried shrimp, cheese steak egg rolls, the spring rolls, and the beef pho. Everything was really good! My favorite were the shrimp! So tasty! It was my first time having a shrimp roll and the pho, but both were yummy. The lady working there was the sweetest! You have to try it!”

“Holy guacamole!!! The food is absolutely amazing!! I had the shrimp taco salad and hubby had the tacos! My goodness it was so delicious! Both the ladies working were so kind! I loved that they had music playing but it wasn’t blaring like some chain restaurants! We will definitely be back!”
“Was questioning eating here based on Yelp reviews, but MAN am I glad we tried it! I had the crab legs and fries and my husband had the fish and chips. The fries were probably the best I’ve ever had! I have never had hand cut fries that were actually crispy all the way through. Delicious place to eat! Would DEFINITELY recommend!”
“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.”

“Typically, in my experience ordering takeout, people are stoic and not welcoming at all. That is not the case for El Roble, from the moment the lady picked up the phone, I could feel her enthusiasm. We ordered lengua tacos and pupusas. Everything was AMAZING! It was delicious and reasonably priced. I will definitely be stopping by more often!!”
“This place is excellent. Their desserts are off the hook and we recently had a fresh peach cobbler that they made in house. It was amazing. Their Pho is very good and all of the other dishes we’ve had are excellent.
We’ve been there twice since we moved to the area and will definitely be going back. This is a family owned business and the people are very, very friendly”
“Today our server was YSARA, OMG the whole package, pleasant and knows her menu. Very attentive to us, making sure our drinks were replenished. Checking on our food. A very positive experience today. We don’t live in this area, moved away 8 months ago, but decided to stop by and wanted to give this Plaza Azteca a chance to redeem itself from a not so positive experience in July. Possibly that visit was an off day for them because today was what we are used to here at Mt Penn’s Plaza Azteca. YSARA was our server once before and she definitely needs to be recognized as an asset to your restaurant. Kudos to YSARA ?❤️”
“There first time I went here the place was good. They had very good Peruvian food. I am not what happened the second time I went here but the ceviche was not great. It was overly spicy almost as if the seafood was bad. The place did refund me but ever since that day I do not go because I do not want to risk it. I would day stick with there cooked food items”
“This spot has been my go to for a while since moving to PA from NYC. Foods good and the service delivery time is A1, pick up times can have a slight delay from them pumping out DoorDash or uber eats orders, but they make sure you are priority over delivery drivers. The amount of business they do reassures me that the food will be fresh and not something that has been sitting. Overall 5 stars 🫡”
“Oh this place was bad from the start and only got worse! there was seven of us that came to music bingo. The second that we got there we were told that we weren't going to be seated unless all seven of us are there. We had one lady that was running a few minutes late and they wouldn't seat us. However, the restaurant had nobody in it. There was only two waitresses on and one was a bartender at the same time. It took forever to get our orders taken. Then it took even longer for us to get our food! We didn't get our food until music Bingo was almost over. Once we finally got it, it was ice cold! Then the waitress puts the bill down and disappears! Literally just disappeared. I had to go to the kitchen door knock on the door and ask for my waitress so we could get the bill and leave. This place is a disaster!”
“Food is amazing. I seriously could eat there everyday! One of my favorites is the Cheese Tortellini in Alfredo Sauce with chicken. The Alfredo Sauce is fresh made and the best I have ever had. Staff is always super nice and attentive even when they are busy which is always.”

“I dont give 5 stars easily. Clean nice good food, wonderful people, service, and owners. Everything seems so fresh and good. Salad bar amazing soups are great, and they have a nice senior menue. Thank you all so much, especially for trying so hard to keep prices down for your customers”
“Ordered on the app and picked it up at the drive-thru window. No problems whatsoever.
Either my eyes are going bad or I got what appeared to be the smallest Filet-O-Fish sandwich I've ever seen, topped with a 1/3 slice of cheese. NOT a half slice. A 1/3 slice. That said, it was quite tasty.
The french fries must have just come out of the fryer. They were the best I have had in a very, very long time. Kudos!”
“Modern design. Nice indoor playground. It's small, but enough for my 5 year old to enjoy with some newly made friends. It's easy to monitor while having my own meal. It was mostly clean though the tables and chairs could have used a wipe down. It looked well staffed and everyone was busy working. Our food was brought out to us by the time we got settled into seats and my son got his sneakers off for the playground. Plenty of parking and accessible seating.”
“What an amazing stand with amazing people. Out of this world customer service! Delicious food. THIS is how you run a small business! Thank you for your kindness and phenomenal food!”

“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.”
“First time here and everything was great. I'm not sure what I expected but was pleasantly surprised. I could cut my steak with a butter knife and it was scrumptious.”
“Went there tonight and had the Ahi Tuna with sesame seed soy and wasabi it was outstanding.My wife got the chicken roulade that was perfect to .We will be back.”
“We enjoy your breakfast and lunches with the best Italian products in a cosy atmosphere. Our panettone crema al limoncello from Borsari we did buy for Christmas was the best ever ! We recommend to shop and eat at your place and buy the food to continue the Italian experience at home!”

“I called at 11:30am to ask about 3 sub catering boxes for lunch (36 sandwiches). Initially, they mentioned they could have it ready for 1pm. I let them know that unfortunately wouldn't work for our time-frame, thanked them, and hung up. Before I could even call another place to order, they called me right back and let me know that they can actually have it ready for 12:15! I placed my order and within 20 minutes (by 12pm) they called me back to let me know it was ready. The subs we got were delicious and every employee was so kind! Love that they have the option for gluten-free bread too. We will definitely be ordering from this location again. Thank you!!!

“I visited this small yet quaint ice cream parlour today late in the afternoon at around dusk.The parlour was cold in the inside as expected for ice cream purposes.I got a large vanilla milkshake topped with whipped cream.I went with a few other cronies and the price was reasonable and affordable for it’s presumed rate of high prices.The ice cream itself was quite delectable and tantalising for my taste buds.”
“Was questioning eating here based on Yelp reviews, but MAN am I glad we tried it! I had the crab legs and fries and my husband had the fish and chips. The fries were probably the best I’ve ever had! I have never had hand cut fries that were actually crispy all the way through. Delicious place to eat! Would DEFINITELY recommend!”
“The service was perfect. The food was delicious. Fresh bread softened butter. I had scallops wrapped in bacon with a fabulous horseradish sauce. Mango salad. I had crab cakes, roasted red potatoes and coleslaw. I brought a delicious cake home with butter rum sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Delicious! We had excellent service when dining in for the first time. We enjoyed everything that we tried. Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I just returned from a delicious, well-priced dinner at Norte Sur on Perkiomen Avenue in Reading. The portions were large, and the food was delicious. My husband had a burrito which took up the entire plate. I had a wonderful taco salad, and we shared sopapillas for dessert. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. We received free refills on our iced teas, and the total bill was less than $40. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Norte Sur, and am looking forward to returning soon.”
“This place was always great but I haven’t been there since the new ownership. I assume it’s still good. But, I have unfollowed the page because whoever is running the social media constantly comments @ followers on their posts. That is incredibly annoying. I’m also not sure it’s the best marketing strategy.”
“Service is always great here and the food is good for the most part but their prices are a little too high. I love their fries, their acai bowls when truck is outside, and their chicken Ceasar wrap. The burgers were okay and the drinks are a hit or miss. 4 stars because the food is fresh and they truly do care about their ingredients and sourcing, and I think it's always great when a food establishment cares about their food.”
“Great food and service..great atmosphere..waitress was great..highly recommend. .will come again”
“Have been eating lunch here with the LHP crew regularly for the past few months!! Great food!!”
“Used to go there in the 1990s...remember Rick and the bartender Carmen......good place to relax”
“The wings are amazing the best. So many flavors. The service is fast clean. Absolutely delicious 😋. Not too many know about this place people need to know about this place.”
Latest Reviews
“I had their cod fish with freshly boiled yucca and it was excellent. Their pork belly and roasted pork is also very good. They also have a fritter similar to the shell of a pastelillo but open. These are sold quickly. The only things I disliked was their rice and fried pork meat. Their rice lacks oil which makes it puffy. Their fried pork and other meats aside from their pork belly and roasted pork are somewhat salty. However, I recommend it especially when you don't have time to cook.”
“With Mussos' having baked its last bread, I will now deliver the eulogy; For over a decade, I have frequented this restaurant in addition to having made a few stops at the previous location back in the day and overall, it was typically a pleasant dining experience. The menu was vast, the food was delicious and satisfying, the ambiance was appealing, and the servers were typically friendly as well as competent. Unfortunately, however, Musso's never felt inviting as the owner never warmed up to us in the slightest. I will never really understand why either, seeing as he could be friendly and accommodating with others. Perhaps he felt that we were beneath him? I can assure you that our money is just as green as anyone else's, and we contributed much of it to his livelihood over the years, so a little gratitude was surely in order. At best, he was standoffish with us and at worst he could be downright unpleasant. Surely, Musso's officially closing marks the end of an era and leaves a void in the community and also in our stomachs. I will miss the food, atmosphere and servers but I will not miss the disapproving looks or the grievances relayed through servers. I guess you don't have to be fond of the artist to appreciate the art, and I will definitely miss dining here.”

“I placed an order because I had this food at another event, and the food was fantastic. When I placed my order by phone, the woman who answered was very polite and helpful. She was very busy, but called me back within just a few minutes. I will purchase from this restaurant again!”

“my daughter ordered from the app. I picked up the order. drove home and when bag was opened no fries. I ordered Fry's and went back. I paid for them, didn't really care about price. trying to be nice. I saw the person that gave me the first order. I said about the missing Fry's. I'm sure they would be bummed with a wrong order. instead of a sorry I got "I don't put the food in the bag". really?”
“Super feliz siempre que lo visito, desde sus empleadas y el servicio excelente y sus comidas a otro nivel. Pase mi cumpleaños y me sorprendieron con musica y un delicioso cake tres leches. La pase super espectacular. Gracias a Mofongo Restaurant por hacer de mi momento muy especial ☺️😊😁”
