“OMG, our plan was just to stop in for coffee. We ended up having breakfast for dinner, sharing a big piece of cake, AND having 2 cups coffee, while enjoying fun conversation with Annie and her daughter. We'll ABSOLUTELY be coming back here! The atmosphere was completely welcoming, the food was hot, fast and tasty (eggs jist how I love them) and the coffee was hot and FRESH! (A new pot of regular was brewed up when we ordered. This place is a gem! There's some community boards advertising fun local activities- plays, bazaars, fairs, etc.
We saw one of the specials being served, and there was a full cob of corn delivered with it. I bet it was local and fresh, as someone was advertising selling corn by the dozen on a sign. Loved this diner!
Ooh- theres also a super cute sunroom ypu can eat in!“

“TLDR: Yes, worthy of the 5 stars.

Today was my first time experiencing Brooklyn Place and I must say that I am very pleased.
Went in thinking it was just a Cafe and I wanted to support a local Cafe in my area of Reading, to my surprise it is a full restaurant.
The staff is very polite and go above and beyond for their customers. Nice quiet place, comfortable atmosphere and plenty of parking in this shopping center.

My order was a large iced coffee, a veggie omelette with home fries, rye toast and a side of sausage. Total cost was $18 and some change.

Iced coffee: Best I have ever had. I have previously worked in cafes and Starbucks, also I am a coffee fiend, and try new places often. In my 37 years on this planet, I have never had an iced coffee this good. Just with cream and sugar.
Veggie Omelette: Delicious, but a tad bit on the greasy side. Very fair with the ingredients/fillings, without being too dense, still fluffy.
Home Fries: Soft, golden brown, seasoned cubes of joy. Very good. Personally I would like them fried just a little longer to give them a light crunch.
Rye Toast and Sausage: Bagged Rye sandwich bread, not seeded. Basic, but honestly we don't need some fancy bread or anything like that. A thumbs up for the toast and sausage links.

Definitely will be coming back and bringing family. They got themselves a new recurring customer.“

“They know everything about their products. They know where their turkeys are raised and the farmers who raise them. Excellent and local.“

“Applebees has a kids eat free? Plus ages 10 to 18 years old. Might dine at restaurant only (not) bar area.“

“It is good had a great time and there was a kid that was really nice“

“The service was great and so was the food! We got the fried mozzarella, the frog burger and the caprese Flatbread. Everything was so delicious! We highly recommend! Can't wait to come back and try some new things“

“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.“

“I picked this place for something different, we normally go to steak hose for birthdays. I'm so glad I did, our server, Riah and bartender Aaron were fantastic. we had so much fun playing slings, will be back for sure.“

“The food is delicious, their cocktails are amazing, & the staff are always friendly. I definitely recommend the Cowboy Pork Chop when they have it as a weekly special. It was the best pork chop we’ve ever had! The stewed tomatoes are also really good & I don’t even “love” tomatoesz“

“Food was really good. Had leftovers for two more days and it was still as good. Had the short ribs and Mac and cheese. Excellent. Wife had same thing except I got lobster Mac. Both dishes were very good. Service was slow and the meals took over 30 mins to get to us on a day that was far from busy. The inside looks like they are either doing some renovations or just fixing stuff here and there. Either way, the work was a bit of an ambiance killer. Will go again for the food. But it will be last time if service is the same.“

“Yummy, need I say more?!“

“Family friendly with great service and outstanding breakfast. I had the black steak with eggs and hash browns the best I ever had!! Congratulated the cook Beth and her assistance/owner Kathy who very humbly came to our table and thank us for our visit. I will definitely go back and highly recommend anyone to taste the delicious food. You will not regret it!!!!!Friendly reminder "Cash only".“

“Great food ! I went there for the first time . I had the Jack Daniel's burger and it was outstanding. Great atmosphere. I will be returning soon .“

“My friend and I dined here last evening and we had the most remarkable experience. Our server, Cheyenne, was absolutely incredible!! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely personable. The food was delicious and the overall experience was amazing. I will definitely be back!!“

“Had the Frisco Burger, came out as ordered and in a quick time. Was very good! I’ve never had a bad meal here.“

“Good Food, great service.“

“Westy’s is the most awesomest place! The service, the food, the friendliness are always top notch. My family and I have been faithful patrons for over 10 years now and have only experienced the best hospitality of any restaurant in the area.“

“I don’t usually write reviews for cookies, but this one deserves it. The Sweet Street Salted Caramel Cookie is honestly something special. I tried one on a rough day, just grabbed it out of curiosity—and it stopped me in my tracks. The first thing I noticed? It smells like a real homemade cookie the second you open the wrapper. None of that weird fake vanilla scent or plastic-y aftertaste like most packaged snacks. Just rich, buttery goodness and that perfect hint of caramel. I looked it up afterward and wasn’t surprised to see it’s made with real ingredients—like all-butter, cage-free eggs, and zero junky additives. You can seriously taste the difference. It’s soft, just the right amount of salty-sweet, and doesn’t feel like it came off a factory line. Honestly, this cookie brought me a weird little moment of peace when I needed it. Like opening up a small bit of home, even when you’re far from anything familiar. If you’re looking for something comforting, real, and actually worth the calories—this is it.“

“Always fresh! Anytime of year!!“

“Very friendly and a lot of fun. Awesome people as well!!“

“What a surprise. Great food“

“Great place! Prices are low but value is high! Friendly staff with great service. Great drinks and delicious food. Kids rated it a 10/10“

“The food was amazing as always but our waitress was terrible. we had to wait 15 minutes just for our beverages, had to wave down another waitress to let her know. at the end of our dining, the girl we had to wave down, got a better tip than our original waitress.“

“My go-to breakfast spot, when it’s not so packed & busy!! I’ve lived in Berks County for 3-4 years now, and have never been disappointed.
Their staff is friendly and welcoming, and whoever the cooks are in the back, are doing their thing!!!! I can’t wait to try lunch/dinner one day, I’m sure that’s amazing too. But for breakfast…pshh. Best place I’ve found so far, since moving from the Lehigh area.“

“food was delicious! waitress was absolutely amazing. friendly, attentive, just all around spot on. Will come back!“

“Enjoyed a nice steak dinner! My husband had ribs! Country music in the background.“

“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!“
