Judy's On Cherry - Town of Reading

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.

I went there with my wife for a Broadway showcase they were doing with Genesius theater. We both had chilean sea bass which was cooked perfectly. Service was top notch and the ambiance was great. Will definitely go there again!

This place was great. We were headed to a show at Santander, not from the area, and looking to get some dinner. The vibe was cool, the server was super friendly and helpful, and the food and drink were excellent. Server said people love the Butternut Squash and Crab Soup and they were right, it was very good. I also recommend the Fried Green Tomatoes crispy but not overly breaded. The espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly mixed. Definitely check this place out.

I really hate to make this review, but it has been awhile since we have visited Judy's and were celebrating our 10th anniversary, so we made a recent visit. What was once a high end dining experience with soul melting food is now a mediocre experience. The lights were not working, the service was a bit slow, I asked for Anchovies on my salad and pretty sure I got Sardines, I got a VERY undercooked pork chop, and when the waitress asked if we wanted bread for the table, she did not advise it was an upcharge. Also when she asked what dressing for our salad, she did not indicate they were also an upcharge. I do not mind spending the money if the ambiance and quality of food matches the price. This certainly was not the case on this visit.
