    Delicious chili and cold beer on pup friendly patio
    Cassie J.

    Even though it's too early in the season for table service on the patio Ty was amazingly kind and took care of my pup and I out here so we could enjoy the beautiful day. Do yourself a favor and come check this place out. To management, you guys have a great employee in Ty, he deserves props!

    The old train station building is very cool! We went at 1pm yesterday (Saturday) and were one of about 3 tables and a few people at the bar. There appeared to be just one server which should have been fine for the number of people. Service was very slow- at one point we waited about 30 min for refills and had to remind him that we ordered. We also waited so long to pay the check that we just went up to the bar to do it. Beer selection was good and we enjoyed it. The food was very good! Our group tried the cheese steak, burger, shrimp/grits, fennel salad and surf and turf. Everyone was happy with their choices. Only complaint is that the burger was to be medium and did not have any pink. I'd say we'd definitely be back for the food and beer but hope the service can improve. I know it's tough to get staff these days but there were not that many people to serve. If you are attentive to your tables, the tips will be great!

    This is such an awesome venue. It is just beautiful inside. The neighborhood remains in transition but it is a short 2 blocks from the Doubletree. Service was slow to begin, but was fine once I asserted myself once. The charred nopales cactus tacos were tasty despite being labeled as vegan ( but I did have the cheese). The live band echoed pretty loudly inside the old train station, but there is also some outside seating. A Norfolk southern train passed thru within a couple feet of the patio ( and lasted a good 45 minutes). All of the original details of the passenger train station remain, and it is lovely to behold. Thanks to the city and saucony creek for preserving this property.

    Kids hotdog & ff

    So my family and I have dined at the Saucony Creek in Kutztown and LOVED it! So we figured we'd stop here and grab a bite to eat and check it out. They had plenty of parking and they look like they have a great setup for outside once the weather gets nice. Upon entering, I thought the place was absolutely beautiful and laid out fairly well. We were greeted by the host who quickly sat us. Then... we sat... and sat... and sat some more until the server who was chatting it up came over to grab drinks. Now, if in fact this server had been busy, I'd completely understand, but we were her only table at the time. The table next to us also complained how slow service was. We ordered the kids meals, which took quite a bit of time. My son liked the hotdog but did comment on how it sorta looked like it had been sitting out for sometime. My husband and I split the quesadillas. They were fairly small but did have great flavor. Our food took a long time to come out like I said prior, but not sure why, because there were only a few bar guests and maybe 2-3 tables. It took forever to get refills and extra napkins. When it came time to grab the check we waited forever. Then, we waited about 10-15 minutes for her to come back and grab it. She made about 5-6 trips to the bar for one table in the meantime. Generally speaking, most people prefer to get their drinks all at the same time. Overall, wasn't overly impressed. The service was lacking majorly. The portions were rather small for the prices IN Reading. My family and I will definitely be sticking to the Saucony in Kutztown.

    Very cool location. They must be under new management because the service and food were excellent. I'll definitely be back.

    Hey friends! This brewery was suggested by our hotel as a local hotspot. So we decided to go for it…read moreand were so glad we did! Schaylor Brewing is a locally owned brewery that features a craft kitchen. They also sell cocktails in addition to freshly brewed beer. From brisket flatbread pizzas, to CBD pints to trivia night, Schaylor Brewery is a great time. We started off with a beer flight and a half-pint. My boyfriend enjoyed all four flavors on his flight! I got the Pineapple Express CBD pint and fell in love. We ordered the house burger and brisket flatbread pizza for our entrees. Both were delicious. My only distaste is that I would challenge them to use a smokier BBQ sauce to compliment the brisket. Service: very friendly. The owner came by and chit-chatted with us for a bit. Atmosphere: lively. We came on trivia night and could tell it was local hot commodity. Prices: Average Free parking. I hope you enjoy!

    So, this review is strictly on the food however, since it is a brewery, I want to give some…read morecoverage on the beer and some on the ambulance. Went on a Sunday after Reading Phillies game. Walking in the brewery the inside is very dark away from the bar. Sat outside. It's a pretty big area with lots of seating. The bartender, her name is Felicia. She was really good, but she was challenged because she was doing a lot of the work and there were other waitresses who were kind of going through the motions. Had a few beers and honestly, they were pretty average. However, the smash burgers are dynamite. But for me, my wife and my son with the tip was around $80 which seemed like a lot. I don't wanna be too harsh because the food is really good, but the beers need to improve along with the service. Big props to Felicia, though who held it down.

The drinks are served up strong and service by our server tonight, Grace, was very attentive. Every time we come here we order the crispy potstickers appetizer and we agreed that their fried pickles are the best we've had anywhere. The dill dipping sauce that comes with the fried pickles is the bomb. My husband loves burgers and it's not always easy to find places that actually serve great burgers, but tonight he said "this is delicious!" Our server, Grace, was friendly, helpful and paid attention to the right time when to offer another drink or see if we want anything else. The music playing is a mix of genres so there's something for everyone and we enjoy it. They play it at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear it well but not so loud that we can't hear each other talk. And, the outdoor patio seating is dog friendly! Reading some of the other reviews, I am baffled that people are leaving three and four stars when they have nothing but raving positive things to say (awesome, fantastic, etc) about the food, drinks, ambiance and service. That makes a place worthy of a five star review. Do yourself a favor and visit the Liberty Taproom!
