West Reading Tavern

Great place to be forced to listen to uninformed political and medical opinions between the owner and customers. Don't, for the love of god, ever even mention the name Fauci. The workers are great at their jobs.

This is a place just to go for beer, THAT’S IT!! I try to support our locals business, but if you don’t respect me or my family I cannot support you. I took my mom for the first time and the experience was unpleasant. I don't know if I have the space or time to write everything that was wrong in this place. First, we chose the patio area since it was a nice day. When we sat down the chairs were full of cobwebs and spiders walking on the chairs one of my daughter's biggest phobias) we didn't say anything, we shook them with our hands and sat down. The waitress came to take the order, we ordered food quickly. We were tired and very hungry. First, what is on the menu does not reflect what they bring you and charge you. We order the “build your own burger “ it’s says for 13.50 ,you can add your toppings but there was an extra charge of 1 for bacon and .50 for mushrooms. I confirm this info with the waitress ask her “ I can add as many toppings, but there’s an extra charge for bacon mushrooms “ she confirm with #10 YESES. We proceed to order #3 of those . Between the three persons that choose this option , some of the toppings were: peppers, jalapeños, pickles, bacon and mushrooms. Also I said if I can change my bread to brioche they said “it would be a charge of 1.50 “I switch it. While we were waiting a lot by the way) One of the waiters a different one)came and said “the chef want you to know that there would be and extra charge for pickles and jalapeños” Huh!! I told her “that was not what it says on the menu and ask my waitress before ordering””she said well that’s what he said” we were hungry so we were like… Whatever.!! When they bring the plates the presentation very disappointing. Plates were dirty and the disproportion on the plates were very noticeable. One of the plates by the way the expensive one) barely had fries, while in the other one there were a lot and other one was in the middle not at lot of fries but some. We were like wow! “They barely put fries on your plate. When they bring my plate…they bring my burger in a ciabatta bread ? when I order a brioche. I had to switch it for the regular burger bun they had. When the waitress came back I made the comment about the noticeable disproportion of the fries and presentation. Her response was “ what did you count them” super rude and sarcastic. When I was about to finally eat my burger there was no peppers or pickles the extra charge that was not in the menu btw) I told the waitress, they didn’t put the pickles or peppers. She said “we don’t have peppers “ but she never let us know ahead of time . They gave me #2 pickles and I finally ate my burger . The waitress never brought napkins, would pass by the table and wouldn’t even look at us. When we asked for the bill I told her I would like to speak with the manager. Manager came and while I was explaining the experience I just had… the owner Mark step in the conversation with a hard face and a agitated energy. We explained the several situations. One of his responses was “ he does not use measurements in his kitchen, that he had never had complaints about the portions of the fries. He try to say that the fries were a “gift” because the quality of his burger cover the expense and more. That there were no places that included fries with your burger not sure where he has been) he had the nerve to say if we wanted more fries with a very passive aggressive tone) when we were done eating and some of the food were packed in boxes. After not taking the criticism and try to justify the several mistakes and rude actitud of his waitress. He processed to take one of the burgers out the bill.

It's ok I guess, the food isn't the best in town (50 shades of brown) but they do have a nice selection of beers. It always seems a bit loud inside to me.

We had such a great meal! The food was great and the service was awesome. I would highly recommend.

I love the old historical building. The service was outstanding. We had four appetizers and they were great.
