Great vibe. Old warehouse feel with steel beams showing. Cool bar area as well. John was our waiter and he was very good. I had the blueberry salad with pork belly, and my friend had the chicken parm and they were both delicious. Ironically, this place is owned by the one where I live which is 2.30 hours away. I'll be back when I'm back in Reading. read more

Brunch was good, should be able to order certain items as add ons or individually though. read more

B2 Bistro + Bar - Eggs Benny with smoked salmon. DELICIOUS. & the tots - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

Friendly service. Nice outdoor seating. Daily drink specials. Scallops were good as were cookies for dessert.

Food was great, however the hostess who served us was definitely not in the mood to even greet us..she just grabbed menus and started walking toward a table and threw the menus down and walked away. It made me feel like we were annoying her. However, our waiter was good! So I think it was just an off night. Cute place, pricing is about what to expect for any place in west reading. read more

B2 Bistro + Bar - Creme Brulee Cheesecake - Cocktail Bars Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

I reserved a room on July 20th at 630pm for my 43rd birthday. I was very excited to return to B2 because I have been there several times before. Each time prior the food was amazing and the wait staff were great. It pleased me so much I bragged about it to my friends and family. So I convinced them to take the hour drive to show them why B2 was so great. I had a party of 13. To my surprise the experience was a failure. The bar was backed up. Our food came out late. Some of it was cold. Some of it was over cooked. One of my family members never got his food. They had entirely new menu items that we all did not expect. We previewed the menu prior so we knew what we all wanted and expected. Especially me!!! Hence why I bragged so much. I spoke to the manager on duty and he could have cared less about what I was saying to him about my concerns. I drove an hour and convinced others to come to their business. The least he could have done was apologize or listened to me. But then again he was avoiding having to come into the room in the first place when he was told he was being asked to come in. We had to literally go get him. Our gracious waiter Brandon (The only good part) apologized so much for our bad experience. read more

I was hoping that this burger would be incredible...juicy...flavorful...cooked to order.... unfortunately it fell flat. I ordered the burger medium, seems like that should be the staple of any great burger from the pics attached you can see that it wasn't that. The meat didn't have that flavor profile I was hoping for...you know that juicy one from the fat content and from the seasoning. The bun was a "meh" as well... it took quite a while for my order to arrive, which is frustrating for a Wednesday night. Lastly the $16 burger is outrageously over priced, for that money I will drive to philly and go to Parc in rittenhouse square for their $17 burger which is the 2nd best burger I've ever had. read more

The owner/staff seems sincere, unfortunately that didn't make up for how mediocre our experience was. First impression, the smell of rubber warehouse is unappetizing. I know it's a recent remodel, but if I stayed 15 minutes longer I would've had a headache. The drink I had was very good! But as another reviewer mentioned, was in the smallest glass I'd ever seen. At $14, it would've taken a fifty before I got a buzz. The menu did not excite me. I'm so over the brick oven/coal fired pizza. I know, unwritten rule that a bar/bistro has to have it but....zzz...you can throw a dart in every direction & find it these days. It was nice to see selections like bone marrow make an appearance, except we've had better versions. My burger was a letdown & the duck fat fries I paid extra for had me questioning if I had been given regular. Veal chop was better, but not strong enough to return for. In fact, nothing was. I'm always nervous when you ask a sever what's your standout dish & they respond everything is very good. That usually means nothing is very good. In this case, that was true. The prices high, portions small, food average. We spent over $100 for 2 & left hungry & dissatisfied. That's a lot for burger, beer, and bone marrow at a bar. Feel like we could've gotten surf & turf in a romantic setting for the same price elsewhere. read more

Another great meal today at B2. We sat at the bar on this beautiful day and enjoyed all the natural light and breezes from the open windows. We were offered the Brunch menu and were by no means disappointed with the options. I had the Shrimp and Grits and was blown away by this meal. The shrimp were plump and flavorful. There were at least 6 (maybe more) shrimp in this entree. The Tasso ham (used as a flavor base in southern cooking) added a complex, slightly spicy backdrop the the rich and creamy Anson Mills grits. In a word-wonderful. My wife had the three egg omelette with Swiss cheese, onions and mushrooms. It was fantastic and quite substantial. It was served with a side of hash browns that were nice and crispy. We shared the Insalata salad which was very fresh and lightly dressed with olive oil and lemon. A perfect salad to pair with the rich shrimp and grits and hearty omelette. Our bartender/server Hailey was superb-as always. Super friendly, very accommodating, and was able to answer all of our questions. The owner even stopped by to chat with us. He was extremely nice and is doing a great job with his restaurant. He seems to be very responsive to his guests, telling us how he recently replaced a menu item (sadly, the Cacio e Pepe which we absolutely loved) with Alfredo based on customer feedback. It's clear he cares about his patrons which is the lifeblood of any dining establishment. B2 is quickly becoming my new favorite restaurant in Berks County. We look forward to our next visit. read more

As a resident of the Lofts @ Narrow I have been very excited for the place to open up. Hearing all of the rumors of what was going on built up so much excitement. I went to the soft opening for residents and was blown away by how they transformed the factory space and repurposed things. We sat at the "chef's table" where we got to meet Chef Chris and watch the team do their magic. I've visited again since it's grand opening and was greeted by the host & hostess and also Chef Chris and the team as they remembered me which made me feel special. I will be visiting every now and then when we don't feel like cooking lol. FOOD: So far I have had the white pizza, B2 burger, raddichio salad, and artisanal bread. The White Pizza is absolutely delicious, the right amount of garlic and seasoning and cheese, love it love it. The B2 burger was pretty good and filling, the patty was cooked well and tasted good. The bread was so delicious but can come off as a bit salty. The raddichio salad was interesting, not something I would order again simply because it was just not my DRINKS: The bartenders are doing a great job back there! Every time I've ordered a drink I haven't been disappointed. I enjoy the selection and can't wait for them to add more. SERVICE: The service here is awesome. Both of the servers I've had, Kristine & Alex have been really great. They were friendly but also helpful. We look forward to having them again. UPDATE: They have a late night menu and a lunch menu (pictures attached). I had a Porchetta sandwich from the late night menu that was so delicious! The pork was juicy and tender, the added rampini was a nice touch to add some different texture and freshness. The sándwich also came with fries which was unexpected. read more

Food is usually decent. Service, however, is less than stellar. And tonight, a Friday, the bar was out of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and tonic!!! And it took forever for drinks and refills. The atmosphere is great, would love to love this place but...a lot to be desired, sadly... read more

It's on the expensive side, but you know that going into hipsterville. Never had a bad thing in all my trips here.

Very trendy place and great atmosphere to go with some friends or on a date. Service can be a bit slow, and things are a tad pricey, but overall one of the best brunch places in town read more

I had Bayley as one of my servers and she did a phenomenal job. Not only did she take the time to really answer our questions, but she went out of her way to make sure we had a wonderful evening with wonderful food! read more

Went there recently for a happy hour specials, but missed it by 15 minutes. Still, they had a special bar snack menu and reasonably priced wine by the glass, so I indulged. It's a bigger place and quite live acoustically, so it can get loud. The night I was there, they had a jazz duo performing (though the vocalist had trouble staying on key). Couple that with animated conversation from other diners and I almost had to shout my order to the bartender. Service was good and the bruschetta (at just $4) was great. Crispy bread, smoky flavor. Delicious! I was looking for something a little more quiet but one person's noisy is another person's lively. If you're in the mood for a lively atmosphere, this might just be the place. read more

This is a great bunch place in Berks County. It's not cheap but they offer a somewhat upscale menu that can be hard to find out here. Love their Avocado Toast! Will come back read more

Been to many of the B2 Bistros. I have a place in Reading and in Jersey. I have had many great experiences at all of the restaurants. But the last 2 visits to the place in Reading have been at best disappointing. Not sure if they have a new chef or what is going on but the food has become way over seasoned. Even the rice and carrots have so much salt on them that I could not eat them. My Salmon was cooked perfectly. But when I took my first bite, it was like a salt lick. I gave it 3 stars based on past experiences. Please ask the Chef to taste his food. read more

First time visit and will never return. All food took a very long time to get to the table and when it did it was horrible. To the point that we didn't eat anything. All the food was cold. We asked to talk with a manager who then blamed it on the server and gave us excuses that they were very busy. The restaurant is very big and was very loud. Maybe a good atmosphere to grab a drink but anything other than that definitely would not recommend. Even that be prepared to talk very loudly. Save yourself the aggravation and skip this place. read more

I am updating my review and downgrading from 5/5 to 2/5 after our most recent visit. We've been here over 10 times. We typically make a reservation. Last evening we stopped by at 5:30 asking for a table for 2 outside. The manager Chris was EXTREMELY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. He said next time make sure you have a reservation. Okay, but I immediately went on yelp to see if there was an available reservation since the outdoor area was only half full. There was at least one reservation slot at 5:45. Then as he walked us to the table to stopped to look at the bill on a table, and then slammed it down and mumbled. I got the feeling he was checking a tip or something. The waiter we had was great. The food was just OK and given the cost we could have just gone to some other places such as Folino's winery for half the price and no rudeness. I don't believe this guy Chris is enjoying his job. Maybe he needs some help from the owner. After being a repeat customer since you opened we won't be coming back, and I regret this since I know how hard the industry is right now with the pandemic. read more

Food is delicious. Atmosphere is welcoming and inviting. Great place to go with friends.

The Easter breakfast was horrible. Food was cold at 9am. The eggs looked like vomit and the chicken tenders were tough as leather. Very disappointed for the price point of 45.00. Would return for anything but that. Super misleading as the brunch is ALWAYS fantastic. Zero stars for the Easter buffet. read more

Food was "pricey" but good. Ambiance too loud. Service great until we asked for a bit of orange fusion for the duck leftovers and were given the buerre blanc for scallops. Also asked for Cointreau in Cosmo. Dudu not get it and was not told that it wasn't available. All that being said the flavors and quality was EXCELLENT read more

Holy Hannah. $5 margaritas were bomb, appetizers were fire and I don't think I've ever eaten better chicken in my lifetime. I could not stop taking bites, finished every last juicy flavor filled piece! I swear whoever designed this dish spent a month deciding on the combination. Second time here and would always recommend starting your meal with the ricotta meatballs read more

Its not terrible but not fantastic. I really loved my entree but the pizza was disappointing

Five family members went for brunch to celebrate birthdays. Interesting menu. Our food did not come out together. One order was incorrect. The espresso was barely warm. For the price, mediocre at best. read more

The place stinks of harsh chemicals, perhaps because it used to be a factory before. The food is mediocre and the prices are way too high for the area. There are better choices nearby read more

Awesome atmosphere. Great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Good mix of drinks and a variety of foods. Love the wood fired pizza.

Absolute shit show. Place is terribly run. Servers don't know what they are selling or what comes with the entrées. They were out of 25% of their menu and had no juice in the building. Place is an overpriced Applebees quality level of food. Go somewhere else in West Reading literally anywhere else, there are far better options. Adding this to the list of places I will no longer go to. read more

I ate here for lunch twice and really enjoyed my experience both times. The restaurant is cute, the food is good and the service is quick if you're trying to get back to work. I had the lamb gyro, but swapped the lamb for chicken and it was delicious. Bigger than I expected as well, I would gladly come back here the next time I'm in town. read more
