    An OK takeout experience at Cheers Bistro. I visited late in the evening and it seemed like they might have been preparing to close the kitchen for the night. Ordering was OK, however, I had to be relentless in asking for updates on my order as there were a few to-go bags sitting at the bar. I stood at the bar for quite a while and eventually received my food, but not without an unwelcoming attitude from someone who I believe might have been managing orders and the bar. The food was OK. The dining room looks inviting and comfortable, however, it seems the bar is the feature, so don't expect a quiet dinner experience. Definitely a good, casual bar experience in downtown Reading. If at the Doubletree I'll try them again and perhaps dine-in.

    Breakfast buffet

    Cheers is located inside the Double Tree hotel, so it is super convenient. The menu has something for everyone and the staff are friendly and go out of their way to talk to each diner. The food is delicious, and the decor is welcoming.

    The hotel restaurant for the Doubletree. I was there for breakfast and dinner and both were very good. Modern upscale decor and there were table tops, booths and regular tables. Breakfast was a buffet and I believe they had stuff to order from the menu as well. The buffet was pretty good actually. Better than most hotel buffets. Eggs to order as well as the usual bacon, sausage and ham. They also had biscuits and gravy as well as pancakes. Fresh fruit, toast and pastries. The dinner was great too. I had the gnocchi with braised beef and the lobster bisque. Both were delicious. This place is a great option whether you are staying at the hotel or not.

    They allowed me to bring cupcakes!

    I have to give props to Cheers American Bistro in the Reading Doubletree Hilton. They are literally everything! They helped me put together a graduation celebration dinner for my daughter. They assisted me with the menu, provided a lovely space for our party and even accommodated us when the party was larger than originally planned. All while preparing for a prom, another graduation, a wedding and Mother's Day! Karla Smith, the manager, was excellent with communicating with me over the last two months of planning. Our head server, Gia, and the rest of the wait staff, gave us service with a smile and were very affable. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful. It was the perfect evening for my baby! I absolutely couldn't have picked a better place!

    This breakfast buffet continues to be top notch. Made to order omelets and Belgian waffles with loads of toppings, bacon, sausage, oatmeal bar with toppings, fresh fruit, muffins, danishes, assorted juices...it's the bee's knees! Top all that off with great service from the staff (shout out to Grace!) and why would you want to eat breakfast any other place in Reading?

    Highly rated hotel restaurant in downtown Readng at the Doubletree. The hotel has won many awards. The restaurant is very bust but the staff moves quickly and the service is excellent. Food is top notch with a diverse menu. Really nice experience. This spot is a winner, both literally and figuratively.

    Burger

    I don't know if it was an off night or what, but I came here after a concert in town as their kitchen was still open at 10:30pm. The best part of my experience was the personable bartender. He was awesome. I ordered a medium rare burger with smoked gouda cheese. The burger came out well done and was not juicy and the patty used didn't seem to be anything special. The bread was OK and the burger was eh all around. It was definitely a 2/3 star burger, not worth the $13. I immediately regretted ordering it after taking a bite and wished I went for the lobster mac they had on the menu instead (15). Where the experience really took a dive was when I asked for a doubleshot of espresso. It was late at this point; perhaps 11pm and I get that they were closing up. One of the servers graciously made me one. When I got the bill, I was charged $10 for the doubleshot of espresso! I've never paid that much for an espresso in my life! Even at the fanciest coffee shops, I think $4 has been the max. I didn't say anything, but damn, I had some sticker shock. Between the not cooked to order average burger and the sticker shock on the espresso, I was disappointed. However, the environment was cool. The music they were playing was good and the bartender was cool. I would definitely order something different if I were to return.

    City life
    Mike F.

    Ultra-modern chic! I've never referred to anything with that particular choice of words, so this is a first, people. But how else could you sum up the atmosphere at Cheer's? After many years of Reading's mayor and other city officials promising to "revitalize" downtown Reading, the DoubleTree by Hilton opened, as well as its integrated in-house restaurant, Cheer's American Bistro. In an absolute prime location across the street from the ever bustling Santander Arena, Cheer's invites guests in for a memorable meal in the heart of one of Pennsylvania's most discordant yet captivating cities. Trying to find a parking space downtown is always an adventure, but luckily guests of the hotel and restaurant alike can take advantage of the DoubleTree Garage right next door. Once, inside, it's a feast for the eyes. And the strangest thing? Even though it exudes this ostentatious - almost pretentious - feel to it, you'll never feel uninvited. Somehow, it retains warmth, sort of like when you go to a fancy dinner party at your one rich friend's house. The food and service matched the simple elegance, all superbly satisfying. Cajun filet medallions started the night and were succulent, tender, and perfectly seasoned, served in a shallow pool of flavorful au jus. The game hen was expertly trimmed and had a gratifying salty crispy skin. My one complaint - the filet medallion risotto. Overly cooked, mushy, and bland. Those poor filet medallions - cooked to hell and lost all of their succulence. All in all, the service was fine, the food was well above average, and the location is an ideal place to start a fun night on the town.

    Duck appetizer.
    Emily H.

    5 star service, 2 star food and menu. During an overnight stay in Reading, we booked in for dinner on a Saturday night. Prior to our meal we attempted to grab a drink at the bar which was packed with a rowdy local crowd. The wait staff completely ignored us so we left after five minutes. For dinner we were seated by the window in comfortable plushy chairs. Very nice romantic lighting and overall ambience. The paper menus that were given to us did not fit the menu prices or the overall atmosphere. Our waiter was outstanding. Very good bread rolls and butter. The drink pours of wine were very generous. However my husband's double gin tasted like less than a single watered down. The menu had been recently changed so many of the items that I've seen on yelp are no longer available. We ended up with the duck appetizer which was basically duck and gravy slopped over french fries with balls of raw cheese on the side. For dinner my husband had the steak and fries. The steak was chewy. I went with the Asian noodle bowl which tasted like something I quickly made at home. Basically scrambled eggs with zucchini and carrots over top the lump of noodles stuck together. I took two bites and couldn't finish is so unappetizing. Everything was extremely salty.

    Cornell's special
    Gene P.

    We stopped in for dinner and absolutely loved it. Lex was our server and she was fantastic. Attentive and very hard working, a very kind person. The dinner was Cornell's special. For the life of me, I don't know why it's a special? This should be on the menu every day. It was that good. I would actually come out of my way to come back here if I knew I could get the chicken. THAT GOOD!!!

Be mindful of what you order. It can add up quickly. My companion and I wracked up a $200 bill between our drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert.

Rutt's Hut in Clifton NJ. And have had NY dogs and Chicago dogs in their respective cities...this slays them all. Of course, like pizza and wings and cheesesteaks etc, it comes down to what you're looking for in that particular genre. They nailed it here with the perfect combination of mustard onions and chili. Some places are stingy with the chili or pile on too many onions. Not Forest Inn. Perfect ratio. Maybe it is simply the care with which they are prepared? I don't know. But as a kid I would grab a chili dog from the Whitehall Mall (Allentown/Whitehall) at a place called Little Red Wagon. Just a wagon-like stand in hallway of mall. The chili dogs at Forest Inn remind me of those dogs. This spot is your classic dive bar. Typical characters you'd expect. Old school urinals. Jukebox that you can't play with your Touchtune/AMI app. Tons of Pennsylvania Skill games(more than I've ever seen at one bar) Seemed like a clean place though so no complaints. The real star of the show is the bartender/chef/manager Harry. He is on the ball! Super nice guy too. He has to serve all the patrons plus cook up all the food and keep non-patrons from using the restroom or just hanging out. He does it all with ease and is fun to talk to as well. I've been here twice already and will return for third time shortly. It's is 45 minutes from house so I can't go on a regular basis but they're so good I gotta make a trek there a few times a year. Give Forest Inn a try! You won't be disappointed.

The fresh avocado slices in the huaraches and the special green-chili sauce makes this "spicy kitchen" a favorite lunch stop for us. You can take out or eat in; and we've done both. The advantage of eating in is that the food is more fresh and you don't have to worry about it getting cold on the way home. The owners and cooks will bring out the food to you, which is great service. There are a few tables and a long bar with stools in front of a wall mirror to sit at. One potential downside is that it's noisy with the TV and radio on (often blasting, and in Spanish). One thing that is sort of interesting, too, is that the common side order is french fries instead of tortilla chips. It's in the middle of the city of Reading, but on a side street away from the main attractions of downtown. On street parking is typically not an issue when we go, around 1PM during the week. We've never had problems with ordering custom-made dishes in English, as most of the dishes are listed in Spanish on the in-store menu--and this is something we really appreciate, as my wife prefers to custom-order for personal reasons (e.g., "without cilantro, onions, and tomatoes").

The event hall is humongous, it has 2 bars available even though 1 was open for this night. Definitely a good place to have an event and not be too crowded. They had plenty of tables available and it didn't get too hot. SERVICE: We were met right away by a waitress who explained how the tables were working and led us to one. She was pretty attentive the entire night and answered all of my questions as this was my first time here. FOOD & DRINK: I throughly enjoyed the plate of picadera we got. We ordered the size for one person to share and it was plenty for 2 people. It came hot and fresh and was delicious. The drinks on the other hand were disappointing. The drinks were $12 each which I assume is up charged because there's a performance. I would assume for $12 I'm getting a nicely sized drink in a glass and it tastes good. We ordered 2 mojitos which you could tell was pre made in a big jar and just poured out. There wasn't any muddled mint or lime in the cup. It just tasted like lime sprite. I was really disappointed in that. They were also charging $165 for a bottle for the table which I thought was a bit much. So I know for next time to pregame at the house before going out there.
