“We decided to try Arbor Inn after reading so many great reviews. We figured we couldn't go wrong for our anniversary dinner. The decor and style indoors is very outdated and crusty. Service was extremely slow and our server was inexperienced for someone that should be serving at a place with the high ratings. The best part of our meal was the mango chutney on the Jerk Shrimp appetizer. The grilled boneless ribeye was overcooked, fatty, and chewy. The Jager schnitzel was full of breading and overcooked. For the amount we paid and the quality of food, it was extremely over-rated and we paid far too much for what we got. The reviews seem to be propped up by the "regular" patrons that frequent this establishment. We will not return.”

“My husband and I just returned from a delicious, well-priced dinner at Norte Sur on Perkiomen Avenue in Reading. The portions were large, and the food was delicious. My husband had a burrito which took up the entire plate. I had a wonderful taco salad, and we shared sopapillas for dessert. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. We received free refills on our iced teas, and the total bill was less than $40. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Norte Sur, and am looking forward to returning soon.”
Pizza • $
“Paparone's is a staple of the community for over 30+ years now that has such a classic home style pizza you can't get enough of. I have been going here since I was a kid, and am glad they are still around today. It's all about the sauce! That is something you just won't find at any other shop around here. Also if you want a vegetarian option, try their Tomato Pie, one of the best I have had in this area. It is hard to find a good pizza shop, the family here is very welcoming and definitely shows their love for feeding Berks with some of the best eats!”
Breakfast • $
“There are no other places around it, like it. I had an egg breakfast platter, and they cover the home fries with the eggs to keep them warm. Works for me, as I prefer finishing one food before moving on to the next.It's on the edge of town, but not far out of the way. Perfect if you are just passing through.”
Ice Cream Shop • $
“So good! I got the Churro cheesecake crepe and it was delicious. They let the kids sample the ice cream to find the flavor they wanted and the staff was friendly. The menu and ice cream flavors are only written in Spanish though... but they do have pictures so you can see what the items are.”

Salvadoran • $
“This is a great little place with delicious authentic food. Wow! Ever a great experience. Friday through Sunday you might have to wait for a table to get your food. But it's worth the wait. Friday evening through Sunday they also sell tamales, usually chicken and sweet corn wth a cream sauce. The taste is the best I've had in any restaurant or even homemade.But realistically everything is delicious. I haven't had anything that isn't good here. Love their food. Tremendous authentic Salvadoran food.”

“A very well hidden Peruvian gem. The place is very clean, Melissa is very friendly and explained everything on the menu. The fried mojarra (fish) was very well seasoned, tender and crisp with fried yuca and white rice. The chicha morada is super refreshing. First time, and it won't be the last...”

“Today our server was YSARA, OMG the whole package, pleasant and knows her menu. Very attentive to us, making sure our drinks were replenished. Checking on our food. A very positive experience today. We don’t live in this area, moved away 8 months ago, but decided to stop by and wanted to give this Plaza Azteca a chance to redeem itself from a not so positive experience in July. Possibly that visit was an off day for them because today was what we are used to here at Mt Penn’s Plaza Azteca. YSARA was our server once before and she definitely needs to be recognized as an asset to your restaurant. Kudos to YSARA ?❤️”

“I had wings last night, very good. Gave me an off the menu sauce that would slap yo momma.Came here the next day, got the Korean chicken sandwich. For me, not a fan. Chicken was cooked well, very crispy. But I'm not a fan of mayo at all. And it doesn't say on the menu that there is an aioli on it. No biggie. They took care of me and apologized. This is some of the best service I've ever had in my life. 15/10 would absolutely recommend. PLUS they have all you can eat wings for 13.99 on Wednesdays!!!! That's absolutely unheard of cheap.Luis, Autumn, and Taylor absolutely kill it!”

“Gotham's vigilance extends beyond the shadows, even to the quaint corners of Reading, PA, where Batmanjawn, recently ventured into a unique and historic building. It was Judy's on Cherry, which stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, a sanctuary where even the Caped Crusader can find respite from the eternal battle against crime, a haven of culinary delights where heroes and ordinary folk alike can find solace in the simple pleasures of good food and great company. I was greeted by the warm glow of vaulted wooden ceilings and the aroma of freshly baked focaccia bread, a sensory experience fit for a hero. Gail, the hostess, with her gracious demeanor, welcomed me with the warmth of a trusted ally, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. The butternut squash soup started the meal off Bat-tastically. The old fashioned packed the punch of the Batmobile's turbo boost. The filet mignon, tender as a villain's heart after a night in Arkham, paired perfectly with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies that would make Alfred proud. But it wasn't just the food that left me in awe; it was the service, embodied by Steve, a stalwart guardian of hospitality, a waiter of unparalleled dedication and charm, whose smile could rival even the Joker's grin. With 17 years of service under his utility belt, he exemplified the hospitality that does justice to Judy's reputation of excellence. The unique cigarette-turned-magnet dispenser, made me marvel at the ingenuity of humanity, the resilience of the human spirit. It was transformed from nicotine machine to an artist’s dream. Poetic. As I stood atop the payment folio, passing my Judy’s gift card like a torch of patronage to Steve, I couldn't help but feel that Judy's on Cherry isn't just a restaurant; it's a sanctuary for the soul, a refuge where heroes and artists alike find solace in a world fraught with chaos. To Judy's, I say: may your lights never dim, your flavors never fade, and your legacy endure like the legend of the Batmanjawn.”

“My husband stopped in breakfast today 4/29/24, and while the food and service were good, I was disappointed when we paid at the counter near the door. The man there was very engrossed in his computer, didn’t ask us how our meal was and barely acknowledged us. Customer care and concern should be paramount in any business. Exeter Diner needs to work harder in this area as it left a bad taste in our mouths despite the good food.”

“You should absolutely shop here! You can sample every kind of pretzel!! Great pricing and so much to pick from. I highly recommend the little ones pretzels with peanut butter dipped in dark chocolate... it's out of this world! Employees are very nice and helpful. Plenty of parking Inside is small so I could see it being crowded during holidays.”

“This was the 1st time I ate here, and I will SURELY come back! The food was excellent! I ordered the Roast beef sandwich, which came with rough cut, homemade fries. I couldn't finish it all but it was out of this world! It's also a bit messy, so I was using a fork & knife to cut the sandwich. The messiness was the only downside. Greg & Moira were the 2 ppl that waited on me. My friend & I sat at the bar to provide a better picture. The place looks like it's been around forever, with the building built in the 1800s I'd guess. Prices I can't speak for, as I was invited to eat here & I did not pay. But as I stated in the beginning, I'll be back.Parking: Parking on the premises is a bit tight. There's a tall wall opposite of the spaces, which makes getting in & out of the spots difficult. I highly recommend trucks or long wheel based vehicles being parked on the street instead.”
Bakery • $
“It’s a great store, we are grateful it is here. Ordering is easy, generally fast, sometimes there has been a crowd here or there, but overall, I’m highly satisfied. Once or twice the cookie I wanted was sold out, which was devastating, but I guess I can’t blame them given they sold out because they were likely delicious. Most of the time, it’s very quick visit, in and out, and I get what I want without any problems. I always appreciate the menu being updated regularly, sometimes a cookie is a mess but overall we love crumbl!”

This spot in Mt.Penn is special, Pizza is excellent, Burgers are amazing wings are good, and of course the beer taps always got something. Most of the staff is terrific and the managers roll up their sleeves and help out. Great spot, excellent outdoor seating, good parking, 5 stars for the area.Wheelchair accessibility: You wouldn't think this is important but it is. If you have mobility issues with family they open at noon and you can get in for lunch even on the patio with a wheel chair walker or crutches.”

“They have both Taco Bell & KFC together inside the same building. Both can be ordered at same place.They kept 2 separate menu displayed. Mostly the display boards, they kept for KFC only.There is no kiosk for self order. In mobile Taco Bell app also, this location didn't appear.As usual they have 2 entry doors and drive thru available for both.The tables & chairs were available to have dine-in and less crowded as most of the people take to go only.There is no rest room also available here but most of the Taco Bell restaurant does have rest room near the counter.They accept all kind of payments including cash.From KFC, most of the customers buy 8 pcs Chicken Drums & Thighs for $10 on Tuesdays as it is Tuesday special.From Taco Bell, the new Cantina menu tasted good and it is available in Crispy/Soft taco, Burrito & Quesadilla variety only.Service was very good in placing the order or pickup the food. They explained clearly at counter when I had questions on KFC order.By mistake they prepared Taco instead of Burrito from my order, but they called me and told that the taco will be free and I can have that and also gave burrito as per my order. They did bring the item to the table where I dine-in.Vegetarian options: Tacos have vegetarian options such as burritos or quesadillas with rice, beans and other vegetables such as onion, tomatoes, cheese etc.KFC doesn't have vegetarian options as it is famous for Chicken only.Parking: Easy to find the parking and available for free. Lot of space also available.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors and parking are Wheelchair accessible.”

“The vibrant colors and icy treats beckoned to me like a siren's call. Holy Gelati, Batman! What an icy adventure I had at Rita's Italian Ice. Nestled outside of Reading, in the heart of Shillington, this Rita's joint is the go-to spot for a frosty treat that hits the spot. The real cherry on top of this frozen fiesta was Allison herself. Not only was she a master at crafting the perfect ice concoction, but her friendly demeanor and infectious smile made the whole experience truly memorable. She even posed for a picture with me, adding an extra dash of superhero flair to my Rita's adventure. Thanks for being chill, Allison. Whether you're a local looking for a sweet escape or a crime fighter patrolling the hustling and bustling Lancaster Ave, Rita's Italian Ice is a must-visit destination. And if you're lucky, you might just get to chill out with the legendary BatmanJawn himself – action figure by day, ice cream aficionado by night. Thanks, Rita's, for a frosty-fantastic time! Be cool, eat a Rita's.”

“Just moved into the area and Mari’s is going to be the place to go for me. I love trying different beers more than getting a lot of one particular beer. Mari’sis the only beer store I’ve seen where virtually everything can be found in a single. Most places take the more expensive craft beers and keep them in 4/6 packs but at Mari’s you can either get that or buy a single can or bottle. It’s genius really. I’m way more likely to buy many singles than spend $20 on a craft four pack I may not like and the selection is pretty great as well. Awesome store.”

Corn tortilla taco shells are cheap and have a very long shelf life.Dietary restrictions: If you have a gluten intolerance, gluten-free buns for sandwiches are available. They also have pretty good salads and the nachos with corn tortilla chips are gluten-free.”

“With Mussos' having baked its last bread, I will now deliver the eulogy; For over a decade, I have frequented this restaurant in addition to having made a few stops at the previous location back in the day and overall, it was typically a pleasant dining experience. The menu was vast, the food was delicious and satisfying, the ambiance was appealing, and the servers were typically friendly as well as competent. Unfortunately, however, Musso's never felt inviting as the owner never warmed up to us in the slightest. I will never really understand why either, seeing as he could be friendly and accommodating with others. Perhaps he felt that we were beneath him? I can assure you that our money is just as green as anyone else's, and we contributed much of it to his livelihood over the years, so a little gratitude was surely in order. At best, he was standoffish with us and at worst he could be downright unpleasant. Surely, Musso's officially closing marks the end of an era and leaves a void in the community and also in our stomachs. I will miss the food, atmosphere and servers but I will not miss the disapproving looks or the grievances relayed through servers. I guess you don't have to be fond of the artist to appreciate the art, and I will definitely miss dining here.”

“Food is amazing. I seriously could eat there everyday! One of my favorites is the Cheese Tortellini in Alfredo Sauce with chicken. The Alfredo Sauce is fresh made and the best I have ever had. Staff is always super nice and attentive even when they are busy which is always.”

“Today our server was YSARA, OMG the whole package, pleasant and knows her menu. Very attentive to us, making sure our drinks were replenished. Checking on our food. A very positive experience today. We don’t live in this area, moved away 8 months ago, but decided to stop by and wanted to give this Plaza Azteca a chance to redeem itself from a not so positive experience in July. Possibly that visit was an off day for them because today was what we are used to here at Mt Penn’s Plaza Azteca. YSARA was our server once before and she definitely needs to be recognized as an asset to your restaurant. Kudos to YSARA ?❤️”

“My husband and I just returned from a delicious, well-priced dinner at Norte Sur on Perkiomen Avenue in Reading. The portions were large, and the food was delicious. My husband had a burrito which took up the entire plate. I had a wonderful taco salad, and we shared sopapillas for dessert. The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. We received free refills on our iced teas, and the total bill was less than $40. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Norte Sur, and am looking forward to returning soon.”

“I placed an order because I had this food at another event, and the food was fantastic. When I placed my order by phone, the woman who answered was very polite and helpful. She was very busy, but called me back within just a few minutes. I will purchase from this restaurant again!”

“It’s a great store, we are grateful it is here. Ordering is easy, generally fast, sometimes there has been a crowd here or there, but overall, I’m highly satisfied. Once or twice the cookie I wanted was sold out, which was devastating, but I guess I can’t blame them given they sold out because they were likely delicious. Most of the time, it’s very quick visit, in and out, and I get what I want without any problems. I always appreciate the menu being updated regularly, sometimes a cookie is a mess but overall we love crumbl!”

“My husband stopped in breakfast today 4/29/24, and while the food and service were good, I was disappointed when we paid at the counter near the door. The man there was very engrossed in his computer, didn’t ask us how our meal was and barely acknowledged us. Customer care and concern should be paramount in any business. Exeter Diner needs to work harder in this area as it left a bad taste in our mouths despite the good food.”

“Stopped here on a recommendation from a friend. I was not disappointed. Take out was quick (and I ordered in person). The food I got was good. Proceeded to go to the back to meet said friend at the bar and was pleasantly surprised at the size and atmosphere. Bar tender was quick and attentive. I will be back!”

“Busy when I went, so there was a long line. Manager on duty scolded the new employee who was being a cashier. I guess she took her gloves off but was then her paying customer asked for a food item. She asked the manager (preparing food) if he could put sour cream in the cup. Manager told her "that's why you're not suppose to take your gloves off!" She was being a cashier, so she needed gloves? Anyhow, it was rude. Manager looked up at me, then put his head down. They had no guacamole.”
