I have eaten here in the past and have had delicious food however the last 2 times I have eaten here the food was ok at best. My filet steak medallions were overcooked to burnt on my last visit. And the previous visit my ny strip steak was tough and again over cooked.

I love throwing the peanut shells on the ground. From what I understand it also helps to treat the wood floor, so I would consider that a win-win. Food was great. Staff was a little busy but as attentive as they could be for being busy.

This place was great! My sister and I were visiting for an event at Santander arena, we walked here and it was a great meal. We had the crab dip, cheese balls, and chocolate pretzel dessert! Seriously everything was delicious and the staff was so accommodating and friendly even though they were really busy! A must try!

It is very sad how far downhill this establishment has gone. Food is 3 class, the place is way understaffed meaning bad service, Micheal has become a grumpy old man. Very sad.

We had dinner at the Peanut Bar after visiting the new Toytopia exhibit at the Reading Public Museum. Our waitress was amazing and incredibly thoughtful with our toddler. The food was delicious- plenty of choices for meat lovers, vegetarians, and vegans. The kids menu also had several fun options for little ones. They have an excellent drink menu, with interesting cocktails and many beer options. We had a great experience and hope to go back the next time we’re in Reading!

We visited Reading for the Berks Jazz Fest and came here for dinner before the show.
Very cool place, vintage photos of Reading playing on screens threw out the dining area. Old photos on the walls
including some Penske racing shots.
Good food, good drinks and decent prices.
I will definitely return!

Had a fabulous meal on 2-8-25, & the restaurant was packed! Both our meals were excellent...veal wienerschnitzel; scallops; peanut butter rice; cheeseballs; French onion soup.

Cocktail was good. Service was alright. Waited over an hour for food that came out lukewarm.

Weeknight apps & drinks on the way to ticketed event. Happy with the choices for both: good standards and interesting modern takes. Tried the peanut butter martini special to go with their signature peanut butter sauce wings - because there's no such thing as too much peanut butter ;) Love the atmosphere, professional staff.

All quality items on the Menu. Cannot go wrong whatever your pick. Exceptional choices of Beer and Cocktails. Keep up the phenomenal work Michael.
