Love the small bar vibe. I had the spicy garlic wings & a side salad. The awards don't lie, the wings are super yummy. After reading on here about recent service experiences, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm happy to report that the problematic bartender is no longer here and everyone I encountered was nice, chatty, and helpful. Highly recommend!

I posted on FB asking for the best wings place in Berks. Van Reed was by far listed the most. My first time there was a hit for sure. They had delicious IPA selection and the wings are AMAZING! I really like how they smoke them. Will be back for sure! Thank you! Keep up the good work on the wings!

Food is excellent especially the wings, got to be some of the best around. The place needs a good cleaning. Bathrooms are pretty nasty and not cleaned throughout the day let alone I’d be surprised if they are cleaned once a week. Wait staff was decent but older lady behind the bar was just mean and you can tell she does not enjoy her job. Not sure why you would want someone with such a bad attitude serving your clients. Overall I would eat there again but hopefully it gets cleaned...
