“Chino’s Place is a great place with wonderful food but let’s talk about the decor! Check out the pigs in the back room or the cutest cow picture above the lady’s potty to name a few of my favorites. Stop in for a great meal and atmosphere.“

“We absolutely love our visits to the Brick Tavern Inn in Quakertown, PA! This place is a true gem, from the moment you step inside, you can feel the warmth and character of a building that’s been standing since the 1800s. The historic charm blends beautifully with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The staff couldn’t be more friendly, attentive, kind, and genuinely happy to make your experience special. The food? Always fantastic. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or feeling adventurous, everything is made with care and full of flavor. And the prices are refreshingly reasonable, especially considering the quality and experience you get. The secret’s out and this place fills up fast, so do yourself a favor and make a reservation. The Brick Tavern Inn is everything you’d want in a local favorite: great food, great people, and a setting that feels like home. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Thank you to the owner, executive chef and waitstaff who helped organize and execute a team dinner for my daughter’s softball team and families, while we were in town for a tournament. Everyone was so great to deal with , while hosting us as a large group during a holiday weekend!
Thank you ! We hope to visit again if we’re come back to town!“

“We wanted to go to friendy's because many locations are shutting down in my area. The service was most excellent. The food was okay, but friendlies hasn't really been known for serving lobster, but that is on their menu. I had the ice cream flight of three different flavors, which is what friendly's his most famous for.“

“Such a beautiful restaurant. I love the cozy and quiet atmosphere. Food is fantastic as well!“

“Cant be happier with our experience. Food was great, waiter was excellent.it was busy and a super nite.“

“We had The Bally Hotel cater my daughter’s birthday party on Saturday and the food was excellent and plentiful! The owner was super easy to work with and accommodating with what we wanted for the menu. They provided us with the chafing dishes which kept our food warm until we ate which was almost an hour and a half after we picked it up. The food was also perfectly packed so there were no issues with any spilling during transport. Would highly recommend having The Bally Hotel cater your next event. You won’t be disappointed!“

“If you’re down on your luck it’s a great place to live. Jeep Cherokee has been living here for 2yrs. An rv has been here for about a year and nobody bothers you. This morning there were 8 cars that have been living there for the last week. No police activity and if they do come they are just here to say hello. They have informed that Cracker Barrel doesn’t have a problem with it so enjoy an extended stay. YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO SPEND A DOLLAR INSIDE. Throw trash on ground and the neighbors will pick it up Free living with no consequences. We travel with a camper trailer and have done overnights in our trailer but this is an abuse of the kindness of Cracker Barrel. These people are living here rent free. Neighbors don’t know who these people are“

“My husband and I stopped in for the first time for a quick lunch and I was instantly impressed with the adorable decor and setup. We were greeted by such friendly staff! We both got a few hot dogs to go and some chips (the good kind!). After eating them I knew I'd be back as they were delicious. Will for sure be bringing our kids next time as well!“

“a must stop on the bike with bungeezs“

“Madeline's is a great, affordable choice if you're looking for a lovely venue for a special event! We held our wedding ceremony and reception (for 60 guests, but they can accommodate more) in the restaurant’s upstairs banquet facility. From the start of planning to the day of the wedding, both event coordinators provided incredible attention for every detail of the event: the timing and setup of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and a special private area for the bride. The banquet facility is wheelchair-accessible, spacious, and has plenty of natural light. There’s also an outside terrace. We had a number of guests with different dietary preferences and needs, including one with severe food allergy concerns. The coordinators were especially understanding of this. Before we chose a menu or signed a contract, they made a special effort to contact the guest with food allergies, and asked specific questions to be sure the menu and venue would be safe. They helped us to feel confident that there wouldn’t be any problems from the allergens of concern, and they worked closely with us on a creative menu that everyone would enjoy. The food was superb! Both event coordinators were present on the day of the event. Everything ran smoothly, and we and our guests really enjoyed it! The entire staff was courteous and attentive, and it was a joyful, memorable day. We look forward to going back for dinner!“

“UPDATE: Went back Thursday, May 10th and tried the meatballs. They were good, but the wings and Prime Rib Sliders are still the favorites for me. Went out to eat Sunday evening, at Capo and Co, in Emmaus. I can't say enough about the food and service. My favorites are the wings. I will never go anywhere else for wings again! I got plain to dip in their horseradish sauce, and my boyfriend got sweet chili. They were amazing! The prime rib sliders melt like butter in your mouth. The toppers in the Bloody Mary included a fat slice of provolone, sweet Gherkins pickle, bacon, olives and more. The atmosphere was cozy and yet so roomy. The place was immaculately clean and the presentation of the food was first class. A must try for everyone!“

“Don’t think twice! Food is amazing and the bartenders are even better“

“Wonderfully developed and unique flavors. Cheesesteak soup is the bomb“

“The food was delicious! We'll be back!“

“All very good except price! Pricing referenced in OnLine menu much lower than actual pricing. Remove them and update with current pricing which is 50 % more. $35 for salad, protein , ice tea ( non alcoholic) is ridiculous).“

“Great breakfast and top notch service. Make sure you ask for Laura..she's the best!“

“I have been staying at the Hyatt since it opened several years ago and dining at the Westside Grill on every stay. I frequent this hotel and am more than just a guest, bordering on being a resident due to my frequent travel into the Lehigh Valley. As a Globalist with Hyatt I cannot say enough good about the hotel and the Westside Grill. After having dinner there again this evening and having another outstanding experience I feel compelled to write this review. The dining room management of the Westside Grill is exceptional with Eileen, the Manager, doing an exceptional job. She is a walk around manager very visible in the dining room, greeting customers, and ensuring they are having a great dining experience. This evening I had the pleasure of having Deanna as my server and she did an outstanding job as well. Both Eileen and Deanna are very attentive insuring that the customer is well taken care of and not wanting for anything. I cannot say enough GOOD about this restaurant. It is top shelf, great abidance, exceptionally clean, supported by a full service bar and an exceptional menu and wine list. The Westside Grill has been consistent in service, quality, and presentation of food since I began dining there while staying at the hotel. I strongly recommend the Westside Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an exceptional dining experience. I bring often business associates with me for morning, afternoon, and evening business discussions at the Westside Grill and have never been disappointed. Both the Westside Grill and Hyatt Hotel have a great staff that are always wanting to make your dining experience and stay exceptional and memorable. It makes you want to come back!!! Finally, 5 Stars is not enough, it should be more like 10. Both the service and the meals at the Westside Grill are consistent always providing an exceptional dining experience.“

“Glad to enjoy the taste again. We come from Reading. Will definitely be back. Been eating steaks more than years“

“Thank you, HOPS Fogelsville for a great Remembrance Dinner for our Son, Mike, on 2/7/25. We had a great time enjoying your delicious food, cozy room, friendly atmosphere, great waitresses, and more. Thank you to Carol H. for the ease of setting up this dinner! We hope we can have Mike’s Remembrance Dinner here every year in February! We were happy we filled the room with Mike’s family and great friends! Thank you for making sure we had a great dinner and evening! 💙❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars food is amazing“

“Highly recommend! Great set up for parties, good food/drinks & the best staff.“

“Love this place! The owner is so accommodating. We brought a large party bus there and they accommodated us with no issues. The bartenders and waitresses were beyond efficient and sweet. The beers were cold. The drinks were quick and the food was great. Loved this place.“

“Hosted a few parties here and the establishment is very clean, fresh looking and great atmosphere. Food is amazing and Jim is always willing to make your occasion special. He works with you and ensures you have all that you need for your big day. We held a Anniversary party, 2 birthday parties and been to a few there as well. I would highly recommend Linx for your next occasion.“

“Affordable and delicious! Just had some Korean BBQ with a fantastic little kick to em’ - oh, and the fries were crispy, and nicely seasoned… We ordered this through DoorDash, and it came hot. Mashed potatoes were unreal. The southwest nachos, go for the nachos, fresh and loaded with goodness.“

“visiting from scotland and experiencing my first ever frat party i was relieved to find such comfort in muhlenberg dining room - with food that will sustain me throughout my travels, i leave confident knowing it will surely also sustain its students into our crazy, beautiful world.“

“We started out at another what is supposed to be an upscale and reputable establishment for a 5:30pm reservation made for my husband's birthday. What a disappointment that was as we were made to wait passed our reservation and received a less than pleasureable attitude from the hostess. After several inquiries about our table we observed several other parties walk in and get seated right away. We had enough and decided to go elsewhere. This is when we came to Applebee's. What a breath of fresh air. We were seated immediately by smiling and gracious staff. We were served by Rey who turned our frown upside down. What a wonderful server. Rey was gracious, thoughtful, courteous and helpful with food suggestions. Rey made our whole experience a wonderful one even going above and beyond by celebrating my husband's birthday with a surprise super delicious dessert. We could not have asked for a better outcome from what started out as a disaster. Kudos to Applebee's and their staff. We will definitely be back.“

“Tasty pub food style selection and excellent beer options. Our server, Eli, was on top of everything, very pleasant and helpful.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at ZEST on 2-22-25. It started at the bar with Travis & Justine. Very friendly, attentive, and welcoming bartenders. They explained the drink and dinner menu and answered our questions. Our server for dinner was Emily and she was amazing! Friendly and attentive not only to us, but to the tables around us! She made sure drinks were refilled and that we received fresh cutlery when our entrees arrived. We were very pleased and will be back again! Thank you ZEST!“

“I love the “Deck” because I can bring my dog and they welcome dogs. Service is always good and the food always is tasty“

“Absolutely beautiful and friendly. Just 1-hr, from my home, this is a treasure that I was so impressed with. Beautiful hotel and city.“

“Food is always fantastic, service is top notch.“

“Filet mignon was amazing. server was attentive and friendly recommending gluten free dishes for my wife who has Celiac.“

“At first glance, the Palm looks like what could best be described as your typical country dive bar - which it sort of is, but with some pleasant enhancements. The decor in the bar area is unique, there is a quote regarding the love of music overhead as you walk through to the traditional seating. I can't explain the allure of the place exactly, only that it's got that "slowed down" vibe that seems to be lost in a world of 2025 chain bars/gastropubs. Admittedly, I have always been a sucker for places like this - but the Palm did not disappoint. We were a party of 5, my wife, myself, our three kids (12, 7, 3) and while we were the only family with young kids in there at the time (and my 3-year-old was absolutely post-nap second energy wind) nobody seemed to mind. They have a chalkboard with daily soup specials that looked like someone took the time to make fancy. The food was typical of a bar, I wouldn't say it was out of this world (I had the diablo burger) but it was above-average for a bar setting. My daughter had the kids burger which was sort of lack-lustre, my wife had a roast beef sandwich (complete with sides of horseradish and Au Jus) which was not only massive, but "really really good" and let me tell you she's the food critic between us. I liked that the floors are sort of worn, it aided in the atmosphere feeling like your local family pub. Service was great, and that's considering that the bartender was alone, with 6-8 people at the bar, and probably another 12-15 people seated at the table. She was a rock star and absolutely the reason we will be back. I liked this place, a lot - give it a try!“
