    UPSIDE DOWN PIE
    Matt S.

    I'm hearing seagulls in my head .it's got that classic down the shore, fresh Jersey tomato taste in the sauce, The crust was the best crust I've had in Berks, crispy light, great slight char. It's 17$ for the 14" pie but I promise, it's worth it.

    Classic Jawn Steak
    Charles T.

    Checked out Spenny's this past week while on a little trip to the Reading area. Checked out Tony's a couple years ago and had been hearing I should check this place out and after looking over the menu, I agreed! Decided to go with "The Classic Jawn" - cooper sharp wit, and an order of the loaded tots that I split with my friend (who got herself a chicken cheesesteak). The woman who helped us at the counter, and the woman who brought the food/drinks to the table were both very friendly. The decor was also very cool. They had a fun neon sign and the one wall was littered with various reading and Philly lore. The loaded tots came with bacon and a sauce that was like an American cheese sauce and ranch hybrid. The tots were nice and crispy even with all of the wet and heavy stuff on them and the flavor was very good. I'd get these anytime I stopped here. The classic jawn was a very good steak. I felt at $13 that the amount of meat was perfectly fine but I could see people complaining...it's what they do ‍. Ribeye with cooper sharp and a small dice onion on a seeded Corropolese roll. It was exactly what I'd hoped for when heading in. I'd go back for sure and I'd order the same exact thing. Spenny's in Reading, PA - Didn't Suck!

    The humble cheese steak, chopped
    Mike F.

    If there's one takeaway from this review, let it be known that Spenny's finely *chops* their steak, rather than slicing it. The result is voluminous, airy shreds of steak, that's almost .. uh, fluffy(?) as it lays inside a superb Italian roll. And I really mean they hit it out of the park with these rolls. It's actually the first thing you notice when taking that first bite (that's right, even before the steak itself), contrary to popular belief. The first thing out of our mouths following the first bite was "Wow, these rolls are straight FI-YAAAAAAAA," or something along those lines. There's only one size here for sandwiches, they range from $12-$14, and the proper Philly way to order is plastered on the menu: "Order any steak 'wit' or 'without' grilled onions." You get two nicely brined pickle slices, which is a nice touch. I wonder if they're home brined? I wouldn't put it past them. Sometimes I like to go a little west coast and deck my steak out with lettuce, tomatoes, raw onion, and mayo - aka steak a la California. It's pretty taboo in these parts and may attract some dirty looks. Same deal with adding tomato sauce. I get accosted by my own friends for these types of offenses. But sometimes I just can't help myself, and I have to say this was one of the best Cali cheese steaks I ever had the pleasure of doo doo'ing out later. Hours later, I would burp and be taken back to that afternoon at Spenny's sitting at the high top, laughing, regaling, living free. Don't forget about the bonus treats, like cheese fries, shakes, and FLOATS. These floats made me so happy. A buddy went for root beer, an orange for me. So, so refreshing with a touch of decadence. When a server walked by asking if we needed anything, I jokingly wished for a refill of my orange float. She turned around and asked if I really wanted one. "Haha, no. I mean yeah, but I don't expect you to refill this." She thought a moment, grabbed my cup, and said "Let me see what I can do." A couple minutes later she brings me a whole new orange float. This just blew me away. This was the same girl who took our orders at the register. Stupendous service on her end. One additional note regarding the chopped steak - don't eat too fast, you can end up inhaling and subsequently choking on it, as my one friend did twice during the course of the meal. Then again, he was eating like a piranha plant from Mario 3. There's plenty, and I mean plenty of parking. Seating is somewhat limited, and it's an order-at-the-register-seat-yourself-they-bring-the-food-out type of place. Staff will check in on you as they clear away tables nearby, and the owner likes to come out from the kitchen when it slows down to chat everyone up. Great establishment and serious competitor in the cheese steak battlegrounds known as Reading, PA. Probably the best service for sure. That's what sets it above some other places, particularly one in West Reading.

    Classic Jawn Steak with onions & provolone

    Worth the stop! Great cheesesteak, great service, very clean. If you're an eagles fan you will feel right at home.

    This family owned cheesesteak joint will get my business time after time after time. The staff is always super friendly. I talk with the father EVERY TIME I come in. Nicest people. Food is crazy good and huge portion. If you need a spot to go before a Fightins game this is the SPOT! You can't walk through that door and not feel like you are in Philadelphia. Before you leave you'll be sayin Jawn, Wooder Ice, and GO BIRDS.

    Excellent Cheese Steak!!! "The Classic Jawn" With Cooper Sharp and Onions. They were sold out of seeded rolls. Great taste and the roll was perfect.

    Shroom Steak

    Great spot celebrating Philly sports and cheesesteaks. Staff was very friendly, fast service. Best cheesesteak in the Berks area by far.

    Traditional Philly Cheesesteak wit!
    George S.

    Spenny's is a cool family run sandwich & ice cream shop specializing in true Philly Style cheesesteaks & hoagies. You can eat in or take out. Everything they serve is melt in your mouth delicious! Make sure to get a basket of specialty fries (I suggest the Spenny Fries!) or a side of their crispy onion rings.

    Very good onion rings and boom boom sauce with REAL boom.

    We stopped into Sweet Ride Ice Cream in Reading as the final stop on a date night, and honestly…read more.. it was the perfect way to end the evening. The vibe immediately pulls you in, classic 1950s ice cream parlor energy with a fun, nostalgic feel. One of the employees was even dressed in a white shirt and black bow tie, which totally fit the theme and added to the experience. They have a huge variety of flavors and options, so there's something for everyone. We came specifically for their Valentine's Day ice cream flight, and it did not disappoint. The flight included: * Cupid's Milk & Cookies * Raspberry Cheesecake * Red Velvet * Chocolate Covered Strawberry Every flavor was excellent, but raspberry cheesecake was the standout favorite rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. We also grabbed a kiddie size of white chocolate cranberry cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious and worth ordering on its own. Because it was freezing out (a rare win), we took advantage of that and grabbed two kiddie sizes to go for my mom, knowing they wouldn't melt on the way home. They also had ice cream pies stocked in the freezer, plus homemade waffle cones and waffle bowls, which smelled incredible. The only downside and this has nothing to do with Sweet Ride themselves was parking. With all the snow piled everywhere, we missed a sign indicating a bus stop zone right in front of the shop and ended up with a $50 parking ticket from the borough. Lesson learned: parking in the area can be tricky, so just be extra mindful of signage, especially in winter. That aside, this was a five-star experience across the board. Fantastic ice cream, fun atmosphere, and a great overall experience. We'll absolutely be back just with better parking awareness next time. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near Reading

    First off, if you haven't been to West Reading, this area is a hidden Gem! Tons of great shops,…read morerestaurants and of course....Ice Cream! Sweet ride is serving up some great ice cream. Im not kidding there was about 40 flavors. They only charge 6.75 for a flight! We decided to get a flight with Raspberry Cheesecake, Hot Cocoa, Chocolate Marshmallow and Fluffernutter! The taste was incredible! Now what separates this place from the rest? Tons of seating, quick speed of service, the decor in here is incredible, neon signs, and tons of other merch to check out. They sell ice cream and Milkshakes for a year as gifts for others? How cool!

There are so many delicious options to choose from. The dining area was clean and well maintained. The counter and service area is well stocked and clean. I would highly recommend this place and we hope to partake in it again someday. The downsides are the pricing (over $17 for two milkshakes and a medium ice cream in a bowl, pre tip) and the location. There is little to no parking in the area which doesn't cost money to access. I would love to see a second location in a more accessible area, perhaps with free parking lot accessibility. (Highly recommend the Monkey Business flavor as well as the Mocha Coffee flavors! )
