“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.”

State Hill Craft Cocktails & Kitchen 1 Wellington Blvd, Reading Chicken Wings • $$
1 Wellington Blvd, Reading

“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”

LongHorn Steakhouse 1085 Woodland Rd, Reading Steak House • $$
1085 Woodland Rd, Reading

“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.”

“Went with some friends from past employment. I ordered the bar beef sandwich. Other people ordered the bar beef grilled cheese, butternut squash soup, black n bleu burger and Cesar chicken wrap. All our sandwiches came with fries. You could upgrade from fries to soup or sweet potato fries for an extra cost. The service was great and friendly. The only thing that I was disappointed with was the beer selection. I was expecting more craft beer varieties, with the name of craft 2700. I thought the name indicates craft beer.”

“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.”

“Heard they had trivia on Thursday nights. A friend and I wanted to scout it for future trivia nights with our other friends.There is family style bench seating. It might be a turn off to some people. It's a converted firehouse.They specialize in local craft beer and sodas. Food choices are several types of Pizza. Prepared in pizza ovens. Also there are a couple appetizers.I ordered the Philly cheese steak egg rolls and Pretzel bites with beer cheese (I can't eat pizza, not their fault) and a local brand root beer. Food was delicious no complaints.Trivia was fun.Only minor issue is because it's crowded in a relatively small place the noise level is surprisingly loud.I would definitely come back though.”

“Always had a good experience at Anthony's. Stopped here for our Anniversary early on a Sunday. Plenty of seating at that time. Staff was friendly and attentive. We both decided on dishes from the specials menu. The house salad was ample with an oil and vinegar dressing. Great portions and we each enjoyed our meals. So glad I was able to acquire the last dish of lasagna. This was the best lasagna I've had in a long time. Draft beer selection is small, but you can't go wrong with a cold Peroni. We wrapped up with a slice of delectable peanut butter pie and cannoli. If you're tired of the usual spots, put Anthony's on your list of places to check out.”

It's as if everyone knows each other and they are so happy to see you, even when you've never there before.The only issue we had was service kind of slowed down when the place started to fill up. Whoever is tending the bar is also waiting on all the tables. Easy to get overwhelmed and miss seeing empty glasses or people obviously waiting for their check.The warm, friendly atmosphere and the absolutely wonderful food makes all the rest quite forgivable, so we will definitely go back and just plan for extra time.”

Florinos Pizza & Bar 944 Penn St, Reading Pizza • $$
944 Penn St, Reading

“Every bite taste freshly made…If you’re old like me, at 10:00 on a Saturday night in downtown Reading, walking into any bar on Penn Street might be associated with a certain stigma. One that might walk the lines of dark, dirty, and maybe even scary or just – not for you. But during a recent random visit to Florino’s Pizza & Bar, I couldn’t find any of that being any further then the truth.Everything about this place has been hit with a sense of love that can only come from pride in ownership. Owned and operated by Florin and his wife, Angie, one can only imagine the amazing heights their personal relationship has achieved if it mirrors anything like what they’ve done with the place and the food here – as “love” is clearly at its center.I was encouraged to try the cheesesteak which in my opinion is easily the best cheesesteak I’ve had ever. The bread is made fresh I’m told and you can taste it in every mouthwatering bite. The crisp flakey crunch of the crust is light and the dough just melts in your mouth. The meat is hardy and not overly greasy, the sauce in clever blended in with the steak and the cheese and when you marry all of that with the fried onions and extras you’re left with something you just know you don’t have time to replicate in your home kitchen.Florin is the kind of guy that let me taste of a few of the wings as well. Something he clearly can’t do for every patron but let me just say they are worth it as well. Perfectly seasoned, a nice bite to them, and delicious through and through.The bar itself is clean, surprisingly clean and updated. The sandy browns and rustic colors scream old Italy to me and invite you to venture back deep into the bar where things open up to a dance area complete with Titan Tron lighting, a sound system your smartphone can sync into, and every bars must have – a very nice pool table.I highly recommend everyone making Florino’s they’re new hang out spot. But if you don’t, I wouldn’t be mad at all – as that will be just more elbow room for me!”

Aladdin Restaurant 401 Penn Ave, Reading Middle Eastern • $$

“SUCH a wonderful experience, from the comfort food, to the attentive service, to the beautiful and cozy atmosphere. I feel with the maza platter and the vegetarian sampler and multiple desserts, we must have ordered about a third of the menu - and *everything* was delectable. Will be trying more meats when we return, which we will. If you decide to try, you're going to want to return as well. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for satisfying and wholesome comfort food. 10/10 ???(Also worth mentioning that we ordered dine-in, and needed takeout after eating [yeah, that good] - the food is so satisfying either way, unlike some that does not travel well.)Vegetarian options: Lots of the options are vegetarian friendly, though as a meat eater I didn't ask about cross contamination.Parking: Easy peasy, truly no stress.”
