“Ice cream hand made on site, only sold on site, always gone on sight!!! ?I would describe it as: "one of those places you see on the travel channel, that the locals love, and is a 'mandatory stop' for travelers in the area."FYI - it's pronounced (bear-ring-er's)!!“

“We stopped here for coffee and a snack and a brief business meeting on a Tuesday morning around 11AM. The service was attentive, the coffee was good and refills were readily offered. My husband had a bowl of baked oatmeal and a side of scrapple. I had a side of scrapple. Both were tasty. The prices were reasonable. Note that they are a cash only business and this is an old school diner with traditional breakfast items. There is an ATM on site. We were happy to find a local diner in the area.“

Definitely a new favorite for us!Kid-friendliness: Good options for picky kiddos! The waiter even joked with my son. There's also a really cool fish tank visible from most spots in the resturant. I would not recommend sitting on the bar side if your child has sensitivity to loudness. It was a great experience overall!“

“This is a large restaurant that seats you, takes your order and brings you plenty of food in no time. The size of this restaurant you would think it would take a long time to be served.

“I had a 2200 mile fiber optic contract in Pittsburgh, PA. It lasted 12 weeks. I went to Longhorns at least once a week if not more often. I love the Outlaw steak. That's all I ever get due to the fantastic flavors and tenderness. My youngest daughter (23 yrs) joins me with the Outback. But, the rest of my family enjoys the filets, Salmon, and chicken entrees.I know that almost $30 for the Outlaw could sound a little expensive. But, when you compare the same steak ($50) at other restaurants. Do the math.... I'm not naming the restaurant. I've had two $50 steaks. One absolutely the best. The other not even close!! I know Longhorn is always consistent.PS. You definitely have to try the sweet potatoe with butter and cinnamon! It's like dessert.“

“Nice menu with a variety of cocktails, wine and food.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Good food. Reasonable pricing.“

“UPDATE! I returned to this restaurant, now named “American Diner.” I ordered the same thing as before. Eggs, home fries, turkey bacon and grits. I also ordered a New York strip steak because that is what my bestie ordered on my last visit. Upon arrival I was immediately taken to my seat. There were plenty of other customers there as well on this Sunday morning. My servers name is Samantha. A very beautiful melanated woman who just happens to look like Clarissa Shields the current GWOAT of female boxing. She was one of the nicest and prettiest servers I’ve had. She was on top of her job and did it very well. There were no problems with my order and she asked several times throughout if I needed anything else. I dove into the grits first because that’s why I was there. I added butter, salt & pepper than dove in and to my surprise, they tasted a lot better than before. The previous time, they weren’t edible, but this time they were so I dug in. I cut the steak and ate a piece and noticed that it was a little tough and it needed more seasoning, but it wasn’t bad at all. I just added some table seasoning and some A1 sauce and everything was fine. The real test was eating the grits with the eggs and bacon I ordered. Well, I ate everything on the table and not once had to ask for a replacement or for something to be made over. It was cool sailing once my food hit the table. No, their grits aren’t the best and still need some work, but they are edible now and will not disappoint those who love them as much as I do. I was impressed with the cooks because the restaurant was packed and my meal was not under or over cooked. Everything turn out great considering how packed it was. I’ve taken the luxury of adding more stars to this review for atmosphere, food, service & overall quality. My name BigDaveIsFat says it all. “Get Your Grub On” folks! Check out the pictures below!“My first review! The grits were the nastiest I've ever attempted to eat. I sent them back seconds after they hit the table. My friends steak was 85 % fat/gristle making it next to impossible to eat. I am a superior grit maker and I suggested they remove this item from their menu until their staff learns how to prepare them properly. The grits you see in this picture were made me. Creamy with #NoLumps”“

“The cheese steak egg rolls are very good! Glenda has a great piece of reinholds history here and the food and drinks make this the perfect addition! Reasonably priced and super friendly staff! Will for sure be coming back frequently !“

“I’m from out of town and came to visit my best friend. We decided to go to down town reading to eat. If you’re looking for authentic Dominican food this is the place to go. Service was great and atmosphere was nice. They currently just started to sell alcoholic beverages too. This place won’t disappoint so I suggest you stop by if your in the area.“

“This place is amazing! The dining experience is at its pinnacle here. Shrimp risotto, tenderloin pork and the special (ravioli with medallion tenderloin) was flawless. The service from everyone was awesome. Rose and Julia were so welcoming and charming. I appreciate the chefs palate and highly recommend Dan's. We will be back!“

“Today, I appreciated the opportunity to eat at the cafe,but my first experience of eating “Gourmand cafe” food was from having it catered at a work event . I appreciate the colorfulness and explosion of flavors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality food for the price point. I have had their burgers, fries(much of speciality fries),southwest blacked chicken salad and they have some of the best homemade chips(for catered events). They have a-welcoming cafe atmosphere with a wide selection on the menu. Friendly,accommodating staff and portion sizes are plentiful. Vegan,GF,V options available.“

“Food was great, service was great, cocktails were outstanding, and the kitchen was fast. Outside dining was calm and peaceful.I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great place to eat“

“First of all, without further ado, or any ado for that matter, a hearty❤️shout out to four of the best bartenders who know their craft, their customers, and the meaning of the word comraderie. They know how to pour, what to pour, and who to pour it for. I never name names, but in this case, I will set a new precedent. Kudos to Kyle, Paige, Bailey, and Ryan. Each of whom, it would seem, come from different worlds and life experiences. All of whom are going places, be it in academic education, hospitality, entrepreneurship, or perhaps being the best at building a conventional life with style, love of life, family, and humanity in the aggregate. Dare I say it, the last of a dying breed.I've met some of the most fun and prolific characters at 24 who've made me feel at home in Pennsylvania, although I am from afar, i.e. Philly . The kind of folks who go out of their way to say hello as they make their way to the bar.Sometimes, after work, feeling a bit peckish, I will peruse the menu and discover some great interpretations of salads (Caesar) and snacks (Truffle fries) that hit the spot and keep me busy enjoying one of my favorite past times: eating. And from what I've seen at various and sundry tables at various times through the course of any given evening, this kitchen delivers hearty inspired entrees sure to give you reason to give positive word of mouth with regard to culinary talent. For myself, I'm going in - and intend to try nearly every item on the menu. One of the many reasons to make this establishment one of your (and my) weekly go-to's. See you at the bar.P.S. Get here to hear the mixes and musical machinations of Vinny, aka DJ Image, on just about every Friday night.(Yo Vin ??!)“

“we ordered trays of Hoagie wraps ,3 different flavors of wings for my greatgrand sons baby shower,WOW ,everything was absolutely PERFECT ,extra sauce,chips ,So fresh. Thank you“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hands down the BEST fried chicken wings in the City of Reading, Pa & has been for more than 30 years. I wasn’t born in this City, but I’ve been eating these wings for more than 30 years strong. Many years ago, he used to have more tasty items for sale, but over the years has reduced it to what customers really want/need which is Soul Food. Headlined by the best fried chicken wings the City of Reading has to offer. Before I begin I must tell you that I am only here to review their wings & fries, delivery through DoorDash has only been available for a a month or so. Prior to this, it’s ALWAYS been pickup. The fries are the basic straight cut fry. They weren’t over or under cooked and matched up well with the wings. The added roll is a black thing. I am black so please don’t think that was a foul statement. Most of us, myself included will not eat fried chicken without bread. It doesn’t matter if 10 pounds of fries were included in the platter. There must be ? As you can see, each piece of chicken was coated and cooked properly. There was no darker or lighter pieces. Every piece of skin on every piece of chicken was the same color. This tells me that no matter how busy they get the food quality is consistent. Please note that this place gets real busy so sometimes DoorDash isn’t available. You may have to call and place your order then pick it up. These wings were served hot which is always a plus when being delivered. Seasoned to perfection with crunchy exterior and a juicy interior. Once you take a bite, you won’t stop eating until all of your wings are gone. Don’t even think about sharing them with a fellow newcomer. Pay the money and get everyone their own platter. Another plus was that I didn’t notice any hairs on my chicken. Now I’m not saying that your piece won’t have any, but mines didn’t. If you happen to stop by, tell them Big Dave sent ya. The best fried chicken wings in Reading, Pa. With that in mind, my name BigDaveIsFat says it ALL!“Get Your Grub On!”“

“Ice Cream for breakfast is my favorite! I am so happy that breakfast is being served on the weekends now. EVERYTHING on their breakfast menu is amazing and I HIGHLY recommend trying and the ladies that work in the morning make it an awesome place to be at! The portions are plentiful! So what if the prices go up…isn’t everything?!? Eat local anyway! There aren’t many local food places in the Reinholds area and this one is a must!“

“Our group, the Lunch Bunch had a wonderful time here today! The staff was great dealing with 28 of us and the food was fabulous! Such a lovely, warm place to eat...thanks!!!“

“The pizza is very good. I had the Margherita pizza. I loved it.“

“This is a classic bar as it is one of my all time favorite places to watch a sports game. I’ve been coming to Decarlos for years now and Danny has a great business going here. The bar food is excellent and I don’t believe I ever ordered a drink that the bartenders didn’t know how to make. Also, great service and friendly people.“

“The best breakfast-brunch-lunch-dessert place anywhere around! There is definitely something for everyone so it's great for meeting people there. Breakfast items are available all day :) There are multiple meat-free options. The falafel is one of my favorites. Today, I had a spinach feta pretzel wrap, and the braided soft pretzel was so good! I am especially called to this place in the colder months because there are so many comfort food options. The weekly specials add variety, but I always have a tough time choosing from the regular menu. I just really need to get here more often!!“

“If you think you are better then hard working, kind people, and are easily offended, this is not the place for you. If you enjoy amazing food, generously poured drinks, banter, and don't mind whatever someone picked on the jukebox for your listening enjoyment, you are missing out if you do not eat here. We live in a small waterfront town about 3 hours from here and we felt right at home. So much so, we ate here 3 days in a row. The staff here is absolutely amazing. The food was better then some of the fancy places in DC I've been. First night was a Thursday and it was steak night. For $19 we had perfectly cooked and seasoned NY strips, potato, veggie and salad. Night two, I had the fish special of Artic char with a dill creama, rice, veggie and salad for the price of what I usually pay for a burger at home. Night 3 we split a cheesesteak and potato skins and good lord...we weren't in Philly but it sure did taste like it. The women running this place are hard working, salt of the earth but will not put up with a bad attitude (as they should! Don't be a j***** We frequent this area and are so thankful we discovered this gem. It will be the only place for us from here on out.“

“Got treated to lunch today for my Birthday, but what we thought was a free dessert at Doc & Bubba's, was not free. Creme Brulee was lovely, but we really thought the waitress meant it was on them the way she worded it. So be careful if you mention it's your birthday if you go there!“

“Excellent staff and food Enjoyed our evening not jammed packed and the blacked salmon was cooked perfect. Very friendly waitress and the manager even came over to speak to us. Great evening. We will be back. It's a club but you can try it out without joining“

“Ate there last Sunday (9/25/22) and had a terrific meal of chicken pasta marinara. Especially love the breadstick they serve with it, is very delicious, as was the whole meal! Debbie was my waitress and she gave me excellent service, enjoyed eating there very much. I'll be returning there very soon to the Wyomissing location, thanks for an amazing meal!“

“I am a chocolate connoisseur and have eaten chocolate from all over the world. The Honduran Brownie is the best brownie I have ever had. I was introduced to Sweet Street while I was a patient in the hospital. From then on, I ordered the brownie with every meal, including breakfast, and depending on who was working, I sometimes got a brownie at breakfast. When I got out of the hospital, I looked up the company and have been ordering the brownie ever since. Having a Honduran Brownie is the best part of my day and I really look forward to it. I try to keep it down to two a day and that's hard. Every person I have given one to agree, they are the best brownies, period. I don't enjoy much these days, but I really look forward to my two a day treat. Keep up the great work“

“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.“

“We stopped in for lunch following a medical appt. It was a Wednesday around 12 noon. The place was not crowded at all -- indoors nearly every table was vacant and outdoors a few tables were vacant. (It was a low-humidity day.) I ordered a pizza + a salad; he ordered a cheeseburger + fries. The pizza was very good and since I can't eat cheese, one of my toppings was comped. The smallest pizza was more than I could finish for a lunch -- or a supper, for that matter, unless I were famished. The salad arrived in a 5" square dish -- romaine, assorted greens (the arugula was a nice touch), shredded carrot, diced tomatoes and a cucumber slice or two -- plus the tasty vinaigrette. His burger looked delicious with the melted cheese (provolone, I think) dripping down from it. He usually orders medium-rare but the middle was more done that that. Still, he had no complaints and seemed to enjoy it. The fries looked fantastic but I had enough to handle w/ the pizza and salad. Our server, Amaya, was attentive and helpful. The industrial feel of the place is not the type of decor I gravitate toward, typically, but it was fine. A lot of the tables indoors are of the high-table and high-stool variety. There is a large bar and you do not need to wait to be seated if you sit at the bar. This was not a concern with the place nearly empty upon our arrival. By the time we left, a large group (a busload?) had entered and gone to some side room (? they disappeared somewhere) and quite a few other tables had filled up. The food was very good here. It was $40 for the two of us for lunch w/ no booze - just waters and iced teas. It was probably $48 w/ tip, if I know my hubby. If I had been by myself, I probably would have taken an outdoor table, but with hubby along and a high today of 86, we opted for indoor seating. Great to know that this option exists for the "it's Friday night and no one in Berks eats at home on Friday night" syndrome.“

“Our first time there to celebrate my birthday, I was so happy with everything. We arrived 15 before closing, we thought it was 9pm but after our Awesome Dinner and speaking with our server she said No, it's 8pm, we want everyone to experience our restaurant. The food was so delicious, best meal ever, dessert was great and service wonderful. Highly recommend this hidden gem ❤️Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from entrance to dining room“

“Delicious food! The menu is different every day. I have never had a meal hear I didn't like. The cooks are friendly and the food is made with love.Vegetarian options: Salad bar, soups, pizzaKid-friendliness: Cooks talk to the kids while their waiting.Parking: Lots of spots. Don't park in the numbered spots.Wheelchair accessibility: Single floor all wheelchair accessible.Dietary restrictions: Cauliflower crust for pizzas. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and diabetic options.“

“We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday at The Abbey! Malik coordinated everything perfectly. The Monk Rolls were a hit for every single one of our guests. The service was top-notch. Everyone complimented the cool space, too! Thank you, Chatty Monks in West Reading!“

“By far, this is our favorite dining experience. Chef Matt, waitress Michelle, and the rest of his staff are outstanding. We have a standing reservation every quarter because we enjoy the food, atmosphere, and service.“

“very good food drunks and friendly servers.“
