Food is excellent especially the wings, got to be some of the best around. The place needs a good cleaning. Bathrooms are pretty nasty and not cleaned throughout the day let alone I’d be surprised if they are cleaned once a week. Wait staff was decent but older lady behind the bar was just mean and you can tell she does not enjoy her job. Not sure why you would want someone with such a bad attitude serving your clients. Overall I would eat there again but hopefully it gets cleaned by then and some friendlier bar staff

I can’t say it was my worst experience anywhere. But I can say it was below average. The waitress was friendly enough. But the food and atmosphere and pricing were all well below average. The nachos were not done well (one layer of cheese on top of layers of chips). We asked for for the pico de gallo to be on the side. It came out in a small ramekin that likely was far less than what they would have put in the nachos if it weren’t on the side. The salad was decent. The atmosphere was only ok and the place seemed to be worn down and seen better days. They wanted to charge $1 extra on $8 6 piece wings for a premium sauce of old bay?? Very odd. Made me not choose to try the wings. Not planning to return but wishing them good luck.

Hands down - the best wings we have ever experienced! Bartender Sam was 100% on top of drinks & service with a smile & laugh! ? We'll definitely share this best kept secret in Berks! ?

Female bartender on duty had a lack of customer service, poor knowledge of her job duties, and disrespectful manner.

I figured 3rd time would be a charm. First time to wanted to try this restaurant they were closed. Second time I tried the kitchen was closed for some reason. I figured today was my lucky day to finally try this place. After sitting at the bar for 5 min we finally asked the bartender if we could order a couple of beers. He mouthed off about being busy and we were free to leave if we didn't like it. Perhaps it would be smarter of the owner to properly staff the restaurant for proper customer service! There won't be a 4th time for me! Service absolutely sucks!
