“We went there for a sunday brunch. I got the Brussels sprout dish and it was amazing. I also got.We did have afterwards, so we took them home and enjoy them in the evening. Great restaurant .Lovely lovely people and the building is gorgeous as well.“
“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!“
“Always a flawless experience at Fork & Ale. Love the chill vibes, staff are professional and personable, menu is on point no matter the season, and cocktails are so good they’ll have you coming back again a few days. Also, don’t forget to try the dessert because they always have something fun and it’s usually mind blowing. My husband and I love Fork & Ale so much we have started to bring our friends with us so they can experience it too. SO. GOOD.“
“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.“
“Heard they had trivia on Thursday nights. A friend and I wanted to scout it for future trivia nights with our other friends.There is family style bench seating. It might be a turn off to some people. It's a converted firehouse.They specialize in local craft beer and sodas. Food choices are several types of Pizza. Prepared in pizza ovens. Also there are a couple appetizers.I ordered the Philly cheese steak egg rolls and Pretzel bites with beer cheese (I can't eat pizza, not their fault) and a local brand root beer. Food was delicious no complaints.Trivia was fun.Only minor issue is because it's crowded in a relatively small place the noise level is surprisingly loud.I would definitely come back though.“
