Award-winning wings delicious salads, much American Fare,however they no longer serve an old favorite of mine the Middle Eastern platter. Still, it was a fantastic dining experience,and they even have some cocktail suggestions which have a Prohibition theme. History of Reading and Berks and the peanut baritself displayed on the video screens where television is not displayed. Portraits of Jimmy and Annie Kramer and more recentowners also prominently featured. Famous and quality restaurant with a near 100-year history.

The food was average at best. The crab cake had my dates stomach a little messed up to be honest. I asked for my steak to be med-rare and it came out rare and cold. Honestly, I don't plan on going back again. I feel bad because itused to be a good restaurant/bar to eat and drink at, I'm unsure of what happened and when it happened.

A timeless feel to the interior, warm wood character 50s charm, I could feel this place had a lot of history butdidn 't realize a Reading PA celebrated legend. The bartender/owner my Server we 're kind, accommodating and veryinformative...a slower night. Served up with their menu with a narrative on the history of the establishment in a nutshell .The menu offered a nice variety from Seafood, Italian, German, Steaks, Burgers and much more. Seems like a Hot Spot with plentygoing on, warm vibes, great peeps good food to serve up for generations to come!

Sabrina brought such a sense of joy and passion to our table, and her recommendations were spoton for every course. The food coming out of the kitchen was easily a bright star in the Reading area, with each dish coming outperfectly. From wiener schnitzel to seared ahi tuna, there was not a disappointing bite throughout the meal. Desserts were aperfect complement to our entrees, and the touch of having the graduate's name written in chocolate was the attention to detailyou rarely see these days. It's very easy to see why this restaurant has been around for 98 years, and I wouldn't be surprisedto see it around for another 98.

The food is typically quite good, with many recipes remaining unchanged on the menu for decades. Although the wings were voted among the 'top 10 in the US' by USA Today, they don't quite meet the high expectations. The beer selection is decent, and the cocktails are enjoyable. The desserts, made in-house, are delicious. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit and stands out as one of the highlights in Reading.

We stopped by before a play at the Reading Civic Theater, and the place was almost packed. Luckily, we grabbed the last available table. The lobster and fish and chips were outstanding, and the crab dip is definitely a must-try! The fish and chips were so good, I dug in before even snapping a photo!
