“Place is really cool inside.. love the huge TV screen in the center and it’s a neat atmosphere although it was pretty empty. Cheesesteak eggrolls and Bougie Burger were delish, Smash burger was average and the pork sandwich was disappointing. French fries are advertised as seasoned but seemed like regular to me.. maybe you have to ask specifically for the seasoned… not sure. Will go back but the food seemed inconsistent with the last two times my family was here. They raved about it before so I excited to check it out!!“

“Best breakfast in the area!
Friendly staff! Generous portions and quality food — they use real eggs for all of their dishes (I personally watched them crack >100 eggs from my table. One reviewer was reporting they used powdered eggs which is simply not true). Only the best at Chatty’s!

Don’t forget your wallet — cash only, my friends!“

“We eat at Deer Lake Pub almost every Friday, and it’s honestly our go-to spot. Everyone there is so friendly and personable and always makes us feel welcome. The food is consistently great, the drinks are delicious, and the whole place just feels comfortable and easy. Deer Lake Pub is hands down my favorite restaurant in all of Schuylkill County.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We had the ribs, hot roast beef sandwich, spicy pickle chips, and Bavarian pretzels. The spicy pickle chips were outstanding, a little spicy, light breading, and the pickles the right thickness to match the breading. They’re a nice bite. The roast beef melts in your mouth it’s so tender, gravy has a nice beef flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed. They had a nice outdoor seating area but we sat inside.“

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

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

“What a gem we discovered! The busy roadway stays outside when you walk into a warm and cozy atmosphere at Three C's Family Diner. We were promptly greeted by Tammy who also was our very attentive server. The owner is as sweet as the atmosphere they worked so hard to create. The food was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Don't just drive by, stop in for a great meal and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the stream from the outdoor dining space“

“Love the pizza and wings, and the meatballs are delicious“

“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.“

“Hubby &’ I had such a long day at work. Both doubles at the job. We were on the search for some fire wings &’ Van Reed Inn popped up. Hubby ordered the Siracha wings &’ I ordered the Crack BBQ.

Firstly? THE WINGS?? FIRE they did NOT disappoint!! When they say CRACKED ON? They mean it. It’s something about them. The tang, the spice, a the savory with a faint kick of sweet? Phenomenal I must say.

Secondly, the service? Immaculate. As a server herself, I felt taken care of. A MINOR error was made with one of the drinks &’ Key came over to table 4 &’ made sure it was corrected. They handled the entire place with grace &’ efficiency. Kudos! Truly, your service was amazing.

All in all, loved everything about the place. We’ve already agreed that anytime we want wings, it’ll be from Van Reed Inn!“

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

“The food was excellent and prepared as requested. Skyler provided exceptional service. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed. Will definitely add to my list of recommendations.“
