“We went to have Endless Shrimp for lunch. I loved the new addition of Marry me shrimp. Good choices. Endless shrimp is always a favorite. The strawberry cheesecake for dessert was amazing! Extra points for having non alcoholic Corona with lime. Our server Arlene made the experience even better! She was friendly, professional, and explained everything perfectly. She was attentive and efficient. Made us feel very welcome. This was the second time we had her as our server and we will request her going forward.“

“I was raised in Maryland. Got to say these are the closest crabs I have had. Don’t want to make the 2 hour ride this is the place. Love them and the crab eggs.“

“if you want awesome food at very reasonable prices this is the place. always perfectly prepared food. my fave filet and lobster and the prime rib even the baked potato is great. we have never been disapointed in over 10 yrs of going here. if you can handle it they have a 1.5 lb lobster tail and 1.5 lb ribeye combo . this is the ONLY place i ever had lobster that wasnt overcooked and tasted as fresh as when i get them right off the boat in maine. nice portions and very fair prices the owner is the cook. .354 reviews and only 6 negative ones should tell the story“

“ordered the #9 (shrimp, mussels, snow crab leg, corn, potato, & broccoli) through doordash & was really impressed. i added a side of sausage with a note asking if they could cut it up & mix it in the boil if possible & they followed the request exactly so my boil came ready to eat!
everything arrived hot, flavorful, & packaged well. the garlic butter sauce was sweeter than i expected but i enjoyed it. the seafood tasted fresh. definitely one of those meals where you immediately stop talking because you’re too busy eating 😭 would absolutely order again“

“This summer I had the privilege of bringing my mom to Pennsylvania from overseas for the very first time. Since I'm still fairly new to the area myself, I wanted to introduce her to some of the places that make this region so special. One recommendation that kept coming up was The Ugly Oyster, not only for its food, but for its incredible history.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with genuine warmth. Our server, Norie, was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, kind, and one of those rare people who makes you feel like she's genuinely happy to see you. It's not every day that you meet people in hospitality who are so passionate about what they do, and that made our visit feel incredibly personal. Before we left, we couldn't resist asking Norie to jump into a photo with us. That probably says more about how welcome she made us feel than anything else I could write.
We also had the pleasure of meeting Kayla, the owner, who took the time to share the story behind The Ugly Oyster and its remarkable history. Learning that the pub was originally shipped from Ireland and carefully preserved made the experience so much more meaningful. Coming from a family with deep European roots, we genuinely appreciated hearing the story behind the building and the care that has gone into preserving such a unique piece of history. It transformed our visit into something much more memorable than simply going out for lunch.
What impressed me most was the respect shown for this landmark. Anyone can own a restaurant, but it takes a special kind of person to become a steward of a historic building. Rather than stripping away its character, it's clear that every effort has been made to preserve what makes this place so unique while ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come. That level of care deserves recognition, and Kayla's passion for sharing the building's story is something every visitor should experience.
Our food and drinks arrived quickly, but what stood out even more was the quality. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, authentically Irish, and there was an unmistakable sense of pride throughout the entire establishment. It felt like a place where everyone genuinely cared, not only about the food they were serving, but about the experience they were creating for every guest who walked through the door.
Out of everything we did during my mom's trip, The Ugly Oyster became one of her favorite memories. We talked about it for days afterward. Unfortunately, time didn't allow us to return before she flew home, but we've already decided that when she comes back to Pennsylvania, The Ugly Oyster will be the very first place we visit.
If you're looking for more than just a meal, if you're looking for history, character, genuine hospitality, and people who truly care about what they do, I can't recommend The Ugly Oyster highly enough. Places like this are becoming increasingly rare. The passion, pride, and genuine care shown by Kayla and her team made our visit unforgettable. We left with full stomachs, a genuine appreciation for people who pour their hearts into what they do, and memories my mom still talks about. We cannot wait to return.“

“The BBQ sauce and hot sauce taste great. Their general tso/sesame chicken tastes really good, the sauce is better than most spots I've tasted in the reading area, maybe all to be quite honest. Good on them, and they're close by if you live around city park.
Their shrimp in garlic sauce with vegetable fried rise is my go to dish. Plenty of vegetables, the shrimp taste good, the garlic sauce tastes great, and nothing tastes burnt, which was a problem i was having with a few spots around here. If i wanna get chinese food, this is my go to spot. I'll be trying the other dishes like the sweet and sour chicken and spare rib tips to see how they match up with the other spots.
Overall very pleased with the cooking here, will be a customer for quite a while, haha.
Enjoy.“

“If you’re looking for a solid dining experience in Wyomissing, Coastal Grille is absolutely worth a visit. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know much about this place going in, but I’m really glad I went and I’ll definitely be back. Walking in, the first thing you’ll notice is a beautiful, large fish tank built right into the wall on your right. The restaurant is dim and upscale-feeling, but still very family-friendly and not loud or overstimulating, so you can actually have a conversation. They have both booths and tables, and the space is very open and spread out. As a parent, you can even strategically seat your family in view of the fish tank or the windows to give the kids something to look at. It’s great for a casual family dinner, a date night, or even a birthday celebration. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with no ramps, you can roll right in to your table. It’s located in a plaza but set apart, so parking was never an issue. Plenty of spots, including handicap parking up front with just a short walk to the entrance. They have a solid variety on the menu including alligator bites, burgers, pasta, salads, and more. It is on the higher end price wise. Most entrees start around $14 and up, and even the kids meals begin at $8.90. The cocktail menu is extensive and the dessert menu is worth a look too. They also have a lunch menu where prices vary a bit more favorably. I ordered the Coastal Cheddar cheeseburger burger with no tomatoes and it was excellent. Very fresh, well seasoned, and served with shoestring fries that were equally on point. They also bring out a ciabatta loaf with butter to start, which was a really nice touch. Food came out quickly (always a plus). The staff is genuinely incredible. There’s a tag team mentality where anyone on the floor can help you, refill your drink, or check on your table. My server was very attentive, and even when they got busy someone always stepped in. No reservations needed, at least when I went which was on a Sunday around 1pm. Highly recommend!“
