“We decided to try Arbor Inn after reading so many great reviews. We figured we couldn't go wrong for our anniversary dinner. The decor and style indoors is very outdated and crusty. Service was extremely slow and our server was inexperienced for someone that should be serving at a place with the high ratings. The best part of our meal was the mango chutney on the Jerk Shrimp appetizer. The grilled boneless ribeye was overcooked, fatty, and chewy. The Jager schnitzel was full of breading and overcooked. For the amount we paid and the quality of food, it was extremely over-rated and we paid far too much for what we got. The reviews seem to be propped up by the "regular" patrons that frequent this establishment. We will not return.”

“What a wonderful experience. The weather was perfect to dine outside in this beautiful setting. Odie, the sweetest cat greeted us as soon as we arrived. He is such a well mannered boy! The service was perfect and very attentive. Very well staffed. I ordered the watermelon salad which was delicious and perfectly ripe. For dinner I had the scallops. They had a perfect sear. I loved them and the spaetzle it came with was yummy. The green beans were too under cooked for my liking. They were very crisp. But I think that’s just personal.”

Vietnamese • $$
“We were in town after stopping by the Reading Hospital, so my wife decided to try this place. A good restaurant for the area. Not as traditional authentic Vietnamese as we would like but it suits the local taste. We both got Pho.”

“We ate here tonight for the first time…it was better than I expected. While they were busy, they made sure to take care of us, we got to try almost everything on the menu! Food was nice quality and the servers were very kind.
BYOB, which is also a plus since they are right next to the liquor store so I ran and grabbed a bottle of wine.
Overall highly recommend and excited to see a new, fresh restaurant in Exeter, we will definitely be back!! ????”

Pizza • $
“Holy Stromboli, Batman! Paparone's in Sinking Spring, PA, is a pizza haven that even the Caped Crusader can't resist. This family-run establishment isn't your average slice joint; it's a culinary Batcave where deliciousness reigns supreme. Upon entering, I was greeted by Vinnie, a member of the Paparone crew who clearly shares his family's passion for food. Our conversation was as lively as a Commissioner Gordon press conference, filled with anecdotes about plans for a fresh remodel of the joint. The food? Delish. The food? Delish. The crust was perfectly baked, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The combination of sausage and pepperoni was a classic, but elevated by the freshness of the ingredients and the perfect balance of spices. It was a symphony of flavors and textures that would make even the pickiest eater sing its praises. The battered mozz sticks were cooked to perfection. Of course, no Bat-outing is complete without a photo op. Elena graciously posed for a snapshot with yours truly, while I also managed to snag a pic astride a miniature red Batcycle (okay, it was just a tiny bike, but a hero's gotta improvise). And let's not forget the iconic Paparone's delivery van, a rolling testament to their commitment to bringing pizza justice to the masses. In conclusion, Paparone's is a culinary Batcave where deliciousness reigns supreme. If you're ever in Sinking Spring, swing by this pizza paradise and tell them BatmanJawn sent you. I will be trying the pizza next time.”

“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 ?❤️”

Italian • $$
“First time here, and we will definitely come back!
It is an older establishment, so when you pull up and walk in, don't let that make you doubt your choice to go here! It IS clean - it's just the original part reminds you of an older hunting lodge, but the seated restaurant is very pretty with a lot of lights.
The food was excellent, and our party of 7 enjoyed their meals, from: chicken Parm, lasagna, chicken Marsala, Spaghetti, and gnocchi with lobster. Their clams casino were delicious! Something you don't see too much anymore.
And their dessert was amazing. Highly recommend the creme brulee and the lemon cream.
Overall, our experience was outstanding!”

“Skylight offers a safe, family-friendly atmosphere in Downtown Reading. It has a la carte food, breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have half-price drinks and happy hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays and half-price glasses of wine on Wednesdays. It also offers rooms for private business and all events, baptisms and more. The employees are friendly and helpful. The food is also the best in the area. 5 Star or more if I can. A restaurant as I expected in Reading.
Parking: Entering via Cherry Street and 6th Street”

This is a very small spot... it was tight. With the three of us, we should've sat at a booth, but we sat at a small circular table. I know for next time. The food was very good. The food did not disappoint AT ALL!!! Even the service was very laid back yet in a professional manner. They catered to you and made sure you were happy with your order very quickly.”

“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.”

“They have both Taco Bell & KFC together inside the same building. Both can be ordered at same place.They kept 2 separate menu displayed. Mostly the display boards, they kept for KFC only.There is no kiosk for self order. In mobile Taco Bell app also, this location didn't appear.As usual they have 2 entry doors and drive thru available for both.The tables & chairs were available to have dine-in and less crowded as most of the people take to go only.There is no rest room also available here but most of the Taco Bell restaurant does have rest room near the counter.They accept all kind of payments including cash.From KFC, most of the customers buy 8 pcs Chicken Drums & Thighs for $10 on Tuesdays as it is Tuesday special.From Taco Bell, the new Cantina menu tasted good and it is available in Crispy/Soft taco, Burrito & Quesadilla variety only.Service was very good in placing the order or pickup the food. They explained clearly at counter when I had questions on KFC order.By mistake they prepared Taco instead of Burrito from my order, but they called me and told that the taco will be free and I can have that and also gave burrito as per my order. They did bring the item to the table where I dine-in.
Vegetarian options: Tacos have vegetarian options such as burritos or quesadillas with rice, beans and other vegetables such as onion, tomatoes, cheese etc.KFC doesn't have vegetarian options as it is famous for Chicken only.
Parking: Easy to find the parking and available for free. Lot of space also available.
Wheelchair accessibility: Doors and parking are Wheelchair accessible.”

We went outside and noted tables were not cleared, for over 1h after guests left, staff serviced three other tables and about 10min later our waitress showed up. Very friendly, the menu has a nice selection and the food was good, the prices seemed lilttle bid higher than other places, and dessert for $15 (cake) seems not justified. It is a nice place to relax, it was interesting, that the outside bar was closed and no bachground music or TVs made it quiet and easy to talk. Overall a very nice place.”

“My husband decided to surprise me and bring home my favorite, Chicken Won-tons for dinner. He also got his favorite meal as well, the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp and an order of waffle fries for me. Even though the food was good we were very disappointed with the portion size. When he opened his dinner, his chicken looked like half a chicken breast and there were only 5 shrimp compared to the 8-9 you get when you dine in. When I opened the waffle fries, there were about 8-10. I actually thought he may have eaten some on the way home. Not very many to make up a "Basket" of Waffle Fries. The only thing that was the correct portion was my Won-tons. There are usually 4 in an order, so there is no way to skimp on this entree if you order To-Go. It's just upsetting that it seemed like less food for the same price. Ultimately, we probably still eat there again, we just won't ever use the To-Go service anymore.”

“Went there for a birthday celebration and found that the portion sizes have been considerably reduced, although the food still tastes good. Their chips and salsa are as excellent as they always have been. We had Tacos de Carne Asada, Birria Tacos, and a Taco Salad Fajita. The corn tortillas have shrunk to about half size (4 mini tacos), and they now omit the Spanish rice from the Tacos de Carne Asada meal. A Jalapeño Margarita looked nice, but it was extremely watered down. Chocolate cake for dessert tasted like it came from a box mix (due to the texture), but it was made with good quality chocolate. The server sometimes spoke rapidly and mumbled, but was attentive. The visit was not as enjoyable as in past years, but at least the food is authentic.
Parking: Lots of parking. The restaurant is located in a strip mall.”

“Sometimes, you want Chineese food, and being a native of Philadelphia, I sometimes crave cheese steak. So when I came across a cheese steak roll, I had to have it!! They were divine!! I even allowed a friend to try one, but ONLY one. Then my family agreed with me. The juicy-melty-cheesy roll with the deep-fried crunch was perfection! I pass this place almost daily. They seem to be the only Chinese restaurant in the immediate area that offers them. They are must have!!
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to access the restaurant”

“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.”

“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 ?❤️”

“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.”
