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. 😊👍“

“Had dinner early on a Friday night and couldn’t be more pleased. We had apps, entrees and dessert coffee and were in and out in an hour. Enough leftovers for two lunches and tastes great! Waitress could have been more personable, but otherwise a great experience.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

Seeing such happy staff really says a lot about a business. We will be returning for sure and can’t wait to try lunch or dinner! 10/10 definitely recommend, 100%!“

“Third Rail Bar and Grill is a fantastic spot! The food is consistently excellent, with delicious takes on pub classics and some unique dishes. Their drink selection is impressive, featuring great craft beers and well-made cocktails. What really makes it shine is the friendly and attentive service and the lively, comfortable atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a casual meal, happy hour, or catching a game. Highly recommended! Shout out too the amazing bartender Jazzy. Amazing service.“

“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 !!!“

I had crab cakes, roasted red potatoes and coleslaw. I brought a delicious cake home with butter rum sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Y'all, we went to Sunrise Mount Penn Deli (on Carsonia, where Jake's used to be) for lunch today, and I have got to say, we had the best chicken cheese steak and fries ever, their smoothies are made with the freshest fruit and veg and taste like a dream (we tried banana, mango, pineapple), and their ice cream (especially the coffee) is to die for. Everyone who works there is so friendly and happy, singing along with Sylas and getting to know us all. Hugs and smiles and just happiness all around in that place. We can't wait to go back!“

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

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“I’ve come here throughout my entire childhood. Whenever I would visit my parents as an adult, I’d stop by even just for an ice cream cone! Nowadays I enjoy taking my son and can’t wait for warmer days so we can take a stroll down to the Drive-In for some ice cream and fun!! Love seeing the ducks as well.“

“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.“

“Great food and great dessert and very nice people“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing homemade Italian dinner and dessert.“

“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!“

“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".“

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