Saw a $5 coupon for this place and thought we'd check it out. What a find, went for seafood night. The food was as good if not better than fine dining establishments. The cocktails were inventive, made fresh and were superb. The bartender/waitress took car of the entire place and her service was exemplary. Had a live solo artist that night, very nice. Now plan on frequenting this establishment. read more

Very crowded, cramped and loud when busy. The menu is decent but the food is just ok. The service is slow with just having drinks refreshed and orders taken. It is a small area so it really should not take as long as it does. We have returned a few times and it's always the same experience. read more

For terms of Fleetwood, this place was great! Stopped here on the way to a royals game from kutztown last Wednesday and couldn't say I was never more happy with the food and beer selection! I don't think there is a single bar around with the amount of craft beers on tap and in cans for drinking in or for take out. Definitely a nice relaxed environment and the male bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer and products. read more

Grand Central Taproom - Enjoying our time conversing with the staff at the bar while they continue to manage to keep a full house taken care of from every aspect of - Beer Bar Near Me - Fleetwood, Pennsylvania

Fleetwood wouldn't be the place you would expect to find the latest craft beers on tap... but grand central taproom had the best selection. The menu stretches from poutine to fish tacos and the service is great. They have both indoor and outdoor seating that allows dogs on the patio. Come thirsty... this place has hops that hit the spot. read more

My craving for the pulled pork sandwich I knew and loved had to be satisfied. The pork sandwich I got had a 3×5 clump of fat/skin under the lid. OK, so I took that off and what was supposed to be pork, tasted more like chicken. Definitely not worth 12$. I'm not a picky eater. Management, Please remind your cooks that what they're serving to eat will be in someone's mouth...would you want to eat it?!? No reason to return. read more

It was my second time going and decided to try a burger . I don't remember the name of it but it had pierogies and cheddar cheese on it and was excellent and full of flavor . The bartenders and wait staff were very bubbly, quick, and friendly. It was all request night with jumpin j entertainment. read more

I would set this as more of a 3.5 than anything. Servers were very kind, and trivia also boosts restaurant ambiance. Teachers like drinking, and apparently trivia, so this is a fun spot on a Thursday night. Not to mention considering they have six beers on tap, their variety is wonderful. Levante Glitter Parts (drool) and another NEIPA by Foreign Objects. If you give me two solid options out of such a small pool, I really can't complain. My friend and I shared the BMP I believe it was called, burger. I asked for it as rare as possible... and it was kinda pink. But it was extremely juicy regardless, so I won't knock off too much for that. The mini pierogies were kind of unnecessary, but allowed for extra snacking. They use large grain sea salt on their fresh cut fries. Yum. Yum. The cheese curds are pretty decent, although I think they should try a more original sauce on the side than ranch. Overall it's a dive bar in Fleetwood. Food is good. Beer is good. Trivia makes it better. read more

Let us know when you hire more staff, please. Bartender told us it'd be 15 minutes to order a beer at the bar. We followed the two guys next to us out and followed them to the Cadillac Grille. read more

Nice corner bar for food and drinks. Small area for outdoor seating. Comvenient and close to my home.

I have to say they have the best wings around. It's very enjoyable to eat or have drinks at the establishment. The owners are wonderful and they diligently keep people updated with their specials and different entertainment nights on Facebook. They have also provided us with the best take out I think I've ever had. Everything still hot and perfect and we get it home and the way they bag their fries keeps them in perfect condition. Great place with delicious food! read more

I called for a take out order. I was abruptly interrupted by an older lady saying hold. They hang up, I call back I get a young girl. She tells me a dozen of wings is 21.99 what!!!!!!!!!!!! So I say I need to think about it she was not any means by professional on the phone and I did tell her she was rude!!! I never been here and I can tell you I won't EVER! read more

If you enjoy sitting at a table, looking at your drink for an hour, just killing time for food- this is the place to go!!! I love going to restaurants that are pretty dead, ordering food and then just waiting for a decade! The problem definitely is not the servers.... In general, this place is a freaking joke. Sheetz has a better menu and the service is much faster! read more

RIP OFF... A Dozen party wings for $20.99 but on their menu it says $11.99. MISLEADING and they know it. They are over cooked and for it to take an hour for 12 party wings is RIDICULOUS. I do not recommend this spot for anyone who doesn't like to waste their money. The PICTURE explains itself. read more

Grand Central Taproom - 12 Party Wings For $20.99 - Beer Bar Near Me - Fleetwood, Pennsylvania

I've been here exactly twice, and I don't plan on ever subjecting myself to such torture again. Both times I had the utter misfortune of dealing with the absolute miserable woman behind the bar who clearly hates her job, life, and everyone she has to interact with. Watching her throw and slam things around behind the bar made me want to die of second-hand embarrassment. Do yourselves a favor and go literally *anywhere* else, where the bartenders not only won't cuss you out for sitting down, but will probably also know how to smile. read more

Grand Central always has great traditional american cuisine. We always get an order of wings, some fries, and mozzarella sticks. They have a wide variety of food to choose from and everything tastes amazing. The dining room can be very loud and is not fit for large parties read more

The burgers are awesome! Nice crowd. The wings are pretty good also! Oh banking chips and fries. They have a nice wall with drink specials for the people who have trouble deciding, a fun place with good food for the family or individual. read more

New ownership has upped the portions and added some weekly options. Fries and all ingredients are killer fresh. They know how to make a burger!! read more

Absolutely trash place!!!! Took 2 hours to get food and it's sucked, took forever to get drinks!!! Then the manager has the bartender tell us we have to leave after the manager leaves the building cause we've had too much to drink when we both only had two drinks each. $80 tab and we get treated like shit!!! read more

We had take out meals as part of the North Eastern Berks Chamber of Commerce virtual dinner theater. My wife and I had prime rib and chicken Oscar. Both were excellent. Food was hot, salads fresh and crisp with hand grated cheese slivers. Quality was superb. Seven others of our Kutztown Rotary group also were very pleased with their meals. This was my first experience here, but it wont be our last. read more

First time stopping on our way to soccer practice. Food was delicious, beer selection was great, service was great!!

Jenn at Grand Central Taproom was great to work with for our bar crawl to raise money toward the METAvivor group (breast cancer). Their beer list is insane!! So many options and a ton of varieties! She had a spread of food and beer tastings for us and seamlessly handled our large group. The food is amazing!! The staff and atmosphere were great!! With their support we were able to raise $800! We will definitely see you all in the future years to come! read more

We got takeout from there for lunch. I had the "Grand Central" which is a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon and melted cheese, with seasoned fries and a pickle. Plus the group of us shared some boneless and bone-in wings. I thought it was good, prices were on par with other restaurants... And it put the now defunct TC's to shame... read more

This place is a long time favorite for me and my family. The new owners have worked hard to bring it up to date yet still maintain the historic feel. Great fries, burgers, sandwiches and specials. Keep in mind, it is a local watering hole with inexpensive drinks. So you may hear some foul language coming from the bar on occasion. That isn't a deal breaker for us now, but when our children were small, it did keep us from going in as much as we would have. read more

Grand Central Taproom - Christmas at Grand Central - Beer Bar Near Me - Fleetwood, Pennsylvania

Long overdue review. Bar tenders are friendly but this place is irritatingly inconsistent. Today I asked for fries with my wrap for a Togo order. When I got there the wrap was served with chips. After bringing this to the bar tenders attention she proceeded to give me an up-charge for the fries that I have never had to pay for before-even after she got the order wrong! NO APOLOGY. Also, the wrap was half the size that it had previously been. An all around bad experience. On a different occasion I had ordered a turkey, bacon, cheddar wrap and they forgot the tomato and lettuce. The time before that I ordered a salad that was supposed to have candied walnuts. It came out with none. This would have been fine if they had just forgotten but they were "out". This is something that should have been brought to someone's attention BEFORE the salad came out. The bartender that was serving it this time handled it better than the first. We received a token for a free drink. This place is fine for a beer but things like this are what cause businesses to close. read more

The best wings I've had in a while. Perfectly cooked to order (well done). The hot is basic buffalo (Franks) hot. Not too big or too small. Served with perfect blue cheese for dipping your wings (as they should). Service is very good. Beer selection is impressive for the area. For a sit down bar/restaurant this is your best bet in town. read more

I've eaten here three times and each time the food was only average. They have a decent beer selection and it's clean and modern inside, but its the kind of place where the locals that are regulars get all the attention from the staff and if they don't know you the service isn't too good. Parking is also a challenge. read more

A spot for sandwiches and appetizers. We went in thinking they still had dinners, but I think there's been a change in ownership.

Wonderful. Always great food from burgers, other sandwiches and their Monday night wings are THE BEST IN BERKS with thick wings, decent prices and a great selection of rotating craft beers. Always had great service here. They also run some nice specials and do local events like bands and tap take over type stuff...Worth checking out...try the wings, the legemd, and the pastrami sandwich. read more

I ordered a steak salad and sweet potato fries. The salad tastes fine but was not cooked to medium rare as I asked. More like medium well. I never got the sweet potato fries. They forgot about them twice. It was so loud that I couldn't here the people sitting at my table. There were only 2 people taking care of the 30+ people, one of which was running the bar that was full. The only thing they have going for them is a decent selection of beer. My sour was ther only enjoyable part of this dinner. read more

Good local bar. The bartenders are friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. Food is pretty good... get the special.

Cheap beer with a generally laid back atmosphere. But I've been coming here for about a year and they've raised their food prices 4 TIMES!! Still not THAT expensive; and usually very tasty. (The cheap beer helps) But still makes you feel sorta ripped off. The staff is excellent and very laid back. Fairly clean for a bar; and usually not too rowdy. The actual bar isn't very big so getting a seat isn't always easy. There are tables but it just isn't the same feel as the bar in my opinion. read more

Good beer selection good burgers friendly staff. Doesn't have an ambience but that's ok it's a local place with good food!

We called to place an order to go. We were refused service because they had a full house. We had been loyal customers. I guess they don't need our business. We will not call again read more

Unfriendly and unhelpfull staff. Went there for a family lunch and after waiting an hour for our meals the waitress rolled her eyes and said the cook had served the last special so would I like to order something else. She couldn't say that when I placed the order!? It was not even busy! Unappologetic too, comped my drinks only but nowhere near worth the aggrivation! WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!! Go ANYWHERE else to eat in Fleetwood! read more

It hurts to write this type of review but when my girlfriend and I went there this past weekend for the luau event on Saturday we walked in and were told we couldn't sit at the one high top because the band was going to be setting up. We were fine with that because the bartender was very nice about it. After that we sat down at a table in front where the band was going to be playing and we were told yet again that we had to move the table to the left. Again we were fine about it and moved. The bartender kept apologizing and being very kind. As we were moving another couple came in and asked if the could take the table next to us and such and then asked if the could sit at the bar making people at the bar move around so they could fit two there. After that happened we were sitting at our table with no drink order, menus, or anything at all. Meanwhile the older couple that barged in after had already had their drinks and put their food order in. This is already 15 minutes that we were in the place and still no drinks or menus. We were left to hang dry!!!! After being acknowledged for sitting where the band was going to be. Overall we were not pleased with how long we were ignored and forgotten about so my girlfriend and I left! So sad this happened because I love this place so much and I never have anything bad to say about it. But after this experience I really have a bad taste about the place. I don't know if I wanna be back there anytime soon read more

The waitress/bartender was rude both times we went. The place is small. Wings were good though but they overcharge you for everything. I paid 0.50 cents to get dressing with my hot wings which comes free at most places. You also can't take anything home with you on wing nights and have to buy a soda so it doesn't come up cheap for "wing night". So basically if you want good expensive wings with crappy service go here. read more

This was our first time at grand central station. The burgers were good, a little over cooked though, but good. You can tell they are NOT frozen burgers which is a good thing. Service was great. I would definitely recommend going. read more

Been here a couple of times and have always had great food but the service has been spotty. Last visit our server was also the bartender. She is not an unattractive young lady but as the song says " she'd be a lot prettier if she smiled once in a while". She seemed less than enthused about having a table to compete with her two other customers in the whole place; less than attentive would be a good review of her service. As stated before, the food is good but the joint obviously refills their Heinz ketchup bottles with not-suitable-for-deer-camp ketchup that tastes crappy and definitely adds nothing to the enjoyment of the food. The labels on the bottles are very worn and peeling. The Not-so-attentive server / bartender mentioned previously, brought only one 1/4 full re-filled bottle to a table of 5 and then seemed annoyed when asked to provide a bit more. read more

We use to frequent the bar quite often with friends and our kids after games, was great food, fast service. Well that was in the past, decided to take my parents who were visiting from out of town to the "bar" for some good food....well I was wrong, had to wait 45 min for food(we were the only table there) the chicken fingers were not the same, gross, the special was dried out had no taste and the wonderful "fresh cut fries that the bar tender was raving about"were too salty and too forever as well. The bathroom didn't have toilet paper, waiter sneezed and didn't wash his hands when he handed us our food... Please go back to the way it was! read more
