“I recently had the pleasure of dining at an incredible Guatemalan restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and colorful decor transported me straight to the heart of Guatemala. The staff was incredibly friendly, greeting us with genuine smiles and offering helpful suggestions for first-time visitors. The menu was rich with traditional dishes, each one promising bold, authentic flavors.

We started with the antojitos, and the pupusas were perfectly crisp on the outside and filled with warm, cheesy goodness. The chuchitos, small corn tamales with a savory tomato sauce, were delightful and full of flavor. For the main course, I ordered the Pepián, a thick, aromatic stew with tender chicken and a rich blend of roasted spices—it was beyond amazing. My partner had the Jocon, a traditional green sauce chicken dish, and said it was one of the most flavorful meals they’ve ever had.

Every bite tasted like a home-cooked Guatemalan meal made with love. The portions were generous, and the prices were more than fair for the quality. The homemade tortillas were fresh and the perfect accompaniment to every dish. The beverages were just as memorable—the rosa de jamaica was refreshing and naturally sweet, while the atol de elote offered a comforting, creamy finish.

The ambiance was relaxed yet festive, with traditional Guatemalan music playing softly in the background. Service was prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable. We felt truly welcomed, like we were part of the family. Even the presentation of the dishes was beautiful—colorful, rustic, and inviting. Dessert was a standout as well, especially the rellenitos de plátano filled with sweetened black beans and dusted with sugar.

This restaurant is a hidden gem that deserves all the recognition it can get. I’ve already recommended it to several friends and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Guatemala, look no further. This place offers not just food, but a cultural experience that warms the heart and soul. service is great“

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

“This place was so clean and everyone was so nice. Ashley was our waitress she was nice and checking on us making sure food is good and refills with drinks. The food was amazing! No complaints great service and experience.“

“Haven't been here in a few years. Decided to stop tonight. Had the bourbon Street chicken.
It was very good the only disappointment was the shrimp they were microscopic. 🙁. Couldn't even taste them because they were so small.
They were pretty sad looking. Step It up Applebee's and put bigger shrimp on the plate.“

“This place is so cute 😍 French toast was super good 🥰“

“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 stopped in for brunch and had such a great experience! Our server, Callie, was absolutely wonderful—super friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal even better. My boyfriend ordered the State Hill Loaded Bloody Mary and boy was it loaded… totally worth it! I went with the BOGO mimosa deal, and for the price, you seriously cannot beat it. For food, we highly recommend the Shrimp Eggs Benedict and the Wagyu Meatloaf Bowl. Both were delicious and so satisfying. Overall, great drinks, great food, and great service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Dylan was the best server! Food was alright as well.“

“Aniyza and Niki are two of the best bartenders I have ever had. They both go above and beyond and always extremely pleasant. I never have an empty drink or bad experience with either of them.“

“n January 2018, the winter chill settled heavily over Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. Inside the Villegas household, the air was filled with the usual lively hum of family life. Miguel Villegas, the patriarch, sat in the living room discussing local news with Manuel and Raul, while Ana Cortez and Yani Villegas moved between the kitchen and the dining area, planning a quiet evening in.
However, for Junior Villegas, the night called for a reunion. He had arranged to meet two of his closest friends, Christopher Gola and Rosemarie Antonelli, who had made the hour-long drive down from Moosic, PA. The trio had a long-standing tradition of catching up over a meal, and they chose a familiar landmark for their meeting: the Applebee's Grill + Bar in Wyomissing.
When Junior arrived at the Paper Mill Road location, Christopher and Rosemarie were already waiting by the entrance, bracing against the biting January wind. The warmth of the restaurant was a welcome relief. They were seated in a corner booth, the glowing amber lights of the bar providing a cozy backdrop for their conversation.
Over plates of appetizers and classic burgers, the conversation flowed effortlessly. Christopher and Rosemarie shared stories of life in Moosic, while Junior caught them up on the latest happenings with Miguel, Manuel, and the rest of the family back in Sinking Spring. For a few hours, the outside world—and the freezing Pennsylvania winter—didn't matter. They laughed about old memories and toasted to the new year, enjoying the simple comfort of good company in a booth at the Wyomissing Applebee's“

“We love it here and the host ( the owners sons are always dressed so nice“

“Great variety of ready to eat meal options. Takes away meal planning and keeps us eating healthy!“

“When I was growing up, the marvel ranch char grilled the burgers, they were so good. So they still char grill the burgers? On my way to see.“

“10/10 all way around!! Julia was our server and she was super sweet!! Was very informative about the food and what options we had to choose from. She was very friendly!!! The food was amazing!!! We got 4 different dishes so we could try a little bit of everything! The coffee was absolutely perfect! We both got cappuccinos. We also got the cannoli french toast, cream chipped beef, garden omelette and the reuben. The sweet potato fries are light and crispy. Definitely on the pricey side but was 100% worth it for our anniversary date. We love to support local small businesses!!“

“they make a great long island iced tea“

“We cannot speak highly enough about Stokesay, their entire team, and, most importantly, Hannah Kufro, our Wedding Coordinator that we worked with! My wife and I signed our venue contract one-year to the date ahead of our big day, with a different coordinator, one who ultimately ended up transitioning to a different organization just a week before our tasting was scheduled. For a couple planning a wedding, especially so close to their big day, this would normally have been an incredibly stressful change to hear about, however, we were expeditiously contacted by Hannah and met her days later at our tasting – immediately after meeting her we knew we were in great hands, and we both agree that our initial impression was spot on. Hannah’s attention to detail, flexibility, and knowledge have continued to impress ourselves, our parents, and our guests who experienced a phenomenal wedding just this past weekend. She not only hit the ground running with our event, but confirmed several details and was able to work with us to ensure our wedding day was as perfect as possible. While I have personally sent messages to several friends I know who are engaged and looking for venues, I wanted to share this note here for those couples looking for venues – Stokesay should 100% be on your list; the charm, history, venue, and staff will all make your big day as perfect as you could ever dream of – if anything, just go check it out – once you see this in person you’ll see exactly what we are talking about. With deepest gratitude, Blake and Lindsay Tobias“

“Ate there for the first time now that family has moved into Flying Hills. Sad we didn't go sooner! Amazing food, friendly service and all around excellent experience. We will definitely be there often!“

“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 will say this your team is amazing and probably the best in berks. Jack, page and bailey also make you feel ao welcomed from the minute you walk through the doors. They are careing and friendly and truly make mine and my friend Saturday nights beyond great. And lastly the drinks and food are top notch. Never a disappointment and will always be my go to place.“

“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 had our Staff Christmas Luncheon yesterday at The Pour House & it absolutely wonderful! Bella was so nice to work with, from making reservations to pre-ordering everyone’s menu selections ahead of time. The food was amazing, from juicy smash burgers to yummy crab cakes! Our Server didn’t miss a beat, great service! Looking forward to celebrating our next Holiday at The Pour House!“

“Them collard greens has never disappointed 🙌🏾🔥“

“First time there.. Service was fast and good! We ate outside and I read negative reviews about the flies, bugs, and bees. It wasn't worse than any other outside eating establishment. It was a warm summer night. Great atmosphere outside, and good music. The food was a little expensive but you get what you paid for and I got 2 dozen clams and a cali burger and a few drinks. The meal was great and i'm ready to go back again. Plenty of parking and the tables are spread out nicely to give you distance from others.“

“Darla and the gang, you made our morning, with your beautiful greeting and amazing pancakes. We were really looked after and you went above and beyond to make this authentic experience great. (Coming from Australia, where we don’t have Diners like Dave’s - this was a great experience) Blueberry pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup 🤤 yum!“

“The food was great, friendly service and clean environment! We will be back again!“

“This is our go-to-place on Saturdays. The staff is very friendly, the food is tasty, and the price is right. We recommend the Patty Melt, Fresh Cut Fries and the Unsweetened Iced Tea. Delicious!!!!! This has quickly become our favorite place to eat.“
