50 Best American Restaurants near West Reading

“I LOVE❤️ going to the American Diner my favorite restaurant. It’s my go-to restaurant and the staff is very attentive and helpful. They have the best food and staff - it’s a family-friendly restaurant. So glad they close yearly for summer vacay to give their team rest but I sure do miss my favorite spot. 😊👍“

“Dentinee is the best and so attentive and quick! Just love her service“

“They care about trying to do a great job, and it shows. That feels like such an exceedingly rare thing these days.

Cozy atmosphere, excellent service. The dishes are presented well. Generous servings. Everyone works together, so it's never hard to get the attention of a server.

This is my favorite restaurant. I recommend trying the Cobb salad.“

“Pretty cool place, The service is great. Brennon helped me alot. I think he needs a raise.“

“If you haven't been here, you're missing out! Phenomenal food. Made to order, absolutely delicious and the staff are fantastic!“

“I dont give 5 stars easily. Clean nice good food, wonderful people, service, and owners. Everything seems so fresh and good. Salad bar amazing soups are great, and they have a nice senior menue. Thank you all so much, especially for trying so hard to keep prices down for your customers“

“Fantastic place and atmosphere! Kid friendly! Awesome food and professional staff!“

“Love it here! Fast service with the amazing Harry! Come visit the bar!!!“

“I have to say, they have the best fish and chips in the area.“

“Love Love Love this place!!!! Wish it was in Lancaster Pa.“

“Let me say it’s a beautiful restaurant. It has a nice grand feel. Service was very good. Food was ok. Duck was very good but it could have been half of it and cheaper. Potato wedges kind of boring. Pork tenderloin was overcooked. Demi was very good. Mushroom soup was excellent through I believe people really only like cream of mushroom so putting a few pieces in the bottom I did not like. The rolls to start the meal are boring. It needs something more exciting and maybe a flavored butter would be great. We will be back though.“

“The Third Rail is the quintessential local gathering spot—warm, welcoming, and always buzzing with good energy. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad and it was phenomenal—perfectly crispy chicken with just the right kick, fresh greens, and a generous portion that left me full but still dreaming about it. I paired it with a cold draft Sam Adams, one of many stellar choices from their rotating tap. The beer selection is unmatched in the local area. Whether you’re a hophead or just want something easy and refreshing, you’ll find something you love.

If you haven’t been to The Third Rail yet, you’re doing life wrong. Go now. Take your friends, your family, your neighbor’s dog—just make sure you go.“

“a unique experience as the only restaurant in Berks County on an active airport!“

“We enjoy your breakfast and lunches with the best Italian products in a cosy atmosphere. Our panettone crema al limoncello from Borsari we did buy for Christmas was the best ever ! We recommend to shop and eat at your place and buy the food to continue the Italian experience at home!“

“Awesome food!!! Awesome servers ?“

“WOW !!!! The Italian was the Italian I have been dreaming about for years ! I'll never go anywhere else ! The mozzarella sticks were fried to perfection. The cheese was hot and melting perfectly. The fries were amazing also !!! Go here !!!“

“Walking in we were greeted by Kenny the owner. We sat at bar and enjoyed our service there with a very knowledgeable and friendly barmaid. The food was excellent and it was a very pleasant experience.

Parking: Very spacious parking lot in the back.“

“Have been eating lunch here with the LHP crew regularly for the past few months!! Great food!!“

“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.“

“Had the best time last night with a party of 8. All appetizers and dinners were delicious. I cannot stop thinking about the homemade tomato Gorgonzola vinaigrette. I almost licked my plate. You cannot beat this homemade food. We will be eating here regularly and will tell all of our friends!“

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

“Great cocktails, delicious food, easy listening background music.....fabulous experience. Attentive waiter/bartender. Definitely will be back.“

“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 to an Applebees in a VERY long time. Food was mediocre, but I still loved it anyway especially with the 2 for $25 deal. I’m really here to praise the amazing customer service. Instantly greeted at the door with smiles. Our server was friendly, happy and very attentive. The Manager (I believe DJ) checked on us a few times to make sure we were taken care of and he was very good with talking with the other tables as well to see how they were doing. Not a huge fan of restaurant chains but this Applebees definitely made me want to come back again.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Deluxe is our go to for breakfast any time of day. Just like being at home, but you don't have to do the dishes. Owner and staff are always smiling.“

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

“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 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“

“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.“

“Always quick service. Large menu to choose from. Never had a bad meal and always leave with a full belly!“

“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“

“Great food and great dessert and very nice people“

“The food is AMAZING!! Compliments to Chef Chris and his team!! Keep up the good work!!“

“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.“

“The café environment is awesome. The food is even better. Every week I try something new and they do not disappoint. The avocado BLT is great. I just had the IOWA Tavern sandwich and that was great. I would recommend people to and eat here.“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing homemade Italian dinner and dessert.“

“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".“

“We just moved in around the block and needed some good home style food, Ranck’s definitely delivered! Their fried chicken was amazing, salad was fresh, and the apple sauce was delicious. The service was quick and everyone was very welcoming and kind. I am sure this is going to be our go to local dinner spot!“

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

“Yummy burgers! Nice laid back atmosphere. Was not busy, sat in the bar area. Casual dining. They also have a more formal area for inside dining and the awesome beach deck and bar when the weather is good! Food and service are always top notch! Check it out, you can't go wrong!“
