A friend and I decided to stop here for lunch. And we were not disappointed! Soup of the day was a baked potato which was as creamy as silk. Ate the whole thing. Then we got wings. So many flavors to choose from. I got the sweet and spicy Thai flavor and it was worth it. The bartender was also our server since we sat at the bar. I asked her about Garage beer and she gave me a small glass of it. YUM! Had that to top off a good ole American lunch. Very quaint and they have food for everyone. From vegan to meat eaters and everything in between including kids. (Dining area set apart from bar so kids aren't in the bar area). Definitely a place you should try! read more

Great new find for super crispy and creative wings! *Barto Hot: very good *Raspberry Jalapeño: mind blowing and NOT sweet! *Death: all heat & zero flavor. *French Onion Soup: broth was dismal, lacked any real flavor other than a trace of tarragon. The bread component was extremely soggy & non existent. Overall the soup desperately needs help. *Bleu Cheese: straight outta the Restaurant Store and unremarkable. These wings are sensational, and an elevated bleu cheese would have taken them to new heights! The cook on the wings was exquisite! New place for us now for great wings! Great craft beer selection, if that's your thing. I was happy to find Garage Beer Lime ‍ on tap. The staff was sensational. I am already looking forward to my next trip, but Im gonna bring my own bleu cheese. #rushieeats read more

Been to Union Jacks in Manayunk and Glenside and both were awesome so had high expectations. Did not disappoint. Service was fantastic at the bar. Thank you Casey! Good beer selection but no stouts or English beers in a British pub is kind of a violation. The real star is the wings. Amazing so very few bars do wings well outside of Buffalo and Harrisburg but these were perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy meat and well sauced. Definitely my new favorite wing spot in montco! read more

The meatloaf special was crazy! Bacon wrapped meatloaf with cheddar mashed potatoes. No I could not finish it. read more

Union Jack's Olde Congo Hotel - Pubs Near Me - Barto, Pennsylvania

This place takes pub food to the next level! What really sets them apart is the attention to detail--they make all of their salad dressings and wing sauces in-house, which gives every dish a fresh, flavorful edge you won't find at your average pub. The homemade fish & chips is absolutely incredible--crispy, golden fish paired with perfectly cooked hand-cut fries that stay crisp and never go soggy. If you're a wing fan, don't miss Wing Night on Wednesdays. It's the kind of spot that puts real care into classic comfort food--and it shows. read more

Dear owner, would you like to know why I'm upset with you tonight? (Im guessing you're not) I was trying to feed my four year old dinner and you charged me 30 dollars for her meal. Sounds ridiculous? Here's the break down. I ordered my daughter what was listed on your kids menu as "kids vegan nuggets with applesauce " 9 dollars on your menu, waitress told me you didn't have nuggets for kids after you took our order for them. Instead you gave her an adult size order of boneless wings, which she was able to eat about 1/4 off. Than you charged us for both and 5 dollars for apple sauce, which according to your kids menu came with the kids nuggets you offered but didn't have? Seriously I'm supposed to be cool with paying 30 dollars for a meal for a four year old? Not in this shit economy. Here's the break down of what you charged me Kids vegan nuggets with apple sauce. 9 Boneless wings(you substituted). 12 Applesauce (hahaha, got me twice). 5 Chocolate milk. 4 Total 30 Another point, you guys advertise wing night on Wednesday for 10 dollars online, you charged me 15. Is it at the bar only? cause it wasn't advertised that way. You shouldn't be screwing hard working people out of money because you're lazy and greedy. read more

Very please with this location! It was suggested by a local. The service was a touch slow but the food made it worth it! It had a nice English Pub vibe to it! I definitely recommend it! read more

The burger was one of the best I have had in years. I could barely finish it. My wife got chicken quesadillas and so could not finish them. The drinks and craft beer was excellent. The server was so pleasant and very attentive. Service was quick. We ate on the patio and it was beautiful outside. I would recommend eating here especially outside. read more

So we're back a month later. Late lunch, and it's a perfect fit. My Mahi mahi po'boy with crispy hand cut fries and Cole slaw was delish, on a toasted long roll. Partner's Mac and cheese with barbecue chicken was the bomb. generous portion of baked Mac and cheese (took some home) was plated with some pulled barbecue chicken breast (YUM) and some special green beans with a little pan sear. My carnivore partner avoids vegetables and to hear him rave about this one, well, that's rare. Until next time... read more

Excellent service and excellent food! Everything we ate was delicious. The standouts were: cheese curds, green beans that tasted like they were cooked on a wood fire, and the warm toffee Bundt cake (BY FAR THE BEST). Chocolate cake was also excellent but I'd come back just for the toffee Bundt cake. This place is such a gem. I got the fish po boy and it was excellent, we didn't like the chicken banh mi as much but it was still good. read more

Everything at this place is awesome. The food drinks the atmosphere. I went during the summertime and was at the outside tables and pretty much turned into a big party. Everybody talking about the group really awesome experience took me back to pre-Covid days. read more

Food is very good, And service is friendly, But in the winter, You cannot take your coat off. They don't have heat on. . It is 35 degrees out and all the heat is a electric fireplace heater. Unless you are standing right in front of it, you are shivering throughout your whole meal there. I could hardly wait to get out of there. read more

Covid-19 restrictions were Stage 2 and outdoor restaurant seating was just initiated. We visited the Padre Pio Shrine in Barto and we were looking for some place to eat. Initially my idea was to order the food and eat in the car. But I noticed that other diners were eating outdoors. Despite a torrential downpour, my husband asked the server if we could enjoy our food outside under the umbrella tables. The server graciously wiped the wet tables and chairs. The food was very delicious. So fresh and delicious burgers were ordered by my daughter and husband. My rueben was delicious. My son ordered a delicious Italian dip. My sister had the Cali Chicken wrap. All the food was excellent read more

Always a great meal and service here! Daily specials are varied and original. The staff is friendly and welcoming!

Some wing flavors are subpar and don't taste as they sound, service is unreliable and takes long but general environment is nice.

Good staff, nice atmosphere, food is always on point and excellent. You feel like your are at home when you're here. Our favorite local spot to go to! You won't be disappointed! read more

Service was attentive. Wings, cheese curds were delicious. I was expecting a better burger, but it was decent. Would go back anytime.

This restaurant has great outdoor seating and great food! My husband loves their wings!

The best burger thus far. BMO Bacon Burger is on the sweet side with some molasses sauce, while El Camino Burger is my favorite with strong beef burger taste. Superb Chicken wings, Strawberry Jalapeño is my favorite. Fish & Chips has 2 pieces of white fish...crispy and yummy. read more

Another great vegan meal! Cauliflower wings with our choice of sauce, tempeh blt and an impossible burger for the win!Amazing accommodating service! We finally got a sitter and decide to go out for a meal. Not only is the Phillies game on but it's the congos Halloween party as well. So one would assume the service would be strained and possibly lacking..... not the case here. Our waitress (Mavis from Transylvania) was on point. She actually scoped out a bar table for us so we could watch the game and continued to serve us outside of her section. Never have we ever had a bad experience here! I the Congo! read more

Awesome food, great beer selection, and the staff treats you like family. It's our favorite local spot!

Good food, good beer selection, great service. Glad my work schedule has changed allowing me to enjoy this place more often.

This is not a fancy looking place, and might be considered a biker bar. But it has great food! Sandwiches are very special and delicious. My wife and I are definitely not bikers, but have driven from Wyomissing to here a number of times to eat. We once took our extended family of 11 there. read more

Wings and beer are tops. Huge selection of both. Nice atmosphere. Deck in summer rocks.

This is a great family owned business. The staff is always smiling. The food is out of this world good. Daily specials are the best, well almost. The wings are the best. Amazing selection of beers on taps and in bottles and cans. read more

I wish i could give 6 stars! our second time dining here was just as excellent as the first. AMAZING vegan food! BEAUTIFUL view. SUPER friendly staff. So happy to have this local treasure. read more

This place is WOW! The burger was absolutely delicious! We were there over a week ago and I am still raving about it. I tell everyone I run into! We're not from the area, but we will be returning just to stop in and grab a bite to eat. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is warm and inviting. 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend! read more

Awesome service and awesome food. Had a rueben with a side salad and definitely got my money's worth; the salad was HUGE! Would love to come back to try their wings because their list of sauces is endless. Our server Ryan was so sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Great menu. The food is good! The place itself need updating. Very low ceilings and "old" looking (and smelling). Eat on the deck for a great atmosphere. read more

They have an awesome back deck and outside bar. Their drink selection is extensive. Good is great with a variety of choices depending on your personal diet needs. It's a great little locals stop off. read more

Solid beer selection and friendly locals matched with standard pub fare and an occasional twist in the menu specials to keep things interesting. read more

This was our first and LAST time visiting this restaurant. First off, the wings are great but that's about all they had going this evening. As we were eating our appetizer of wings, our main course came out. We had to put the main course aside so we could finish our wings. Let's move onto one the main dishes, Fish and Chips. The battered fish looked like it was fried in the oil twice and was so dark and dry it just wasn't really edible. Be ready to pay .50 extra for the tarter sauce with the fish (nice addition when the check came). The second main dish, BMO Bacon Burger (asked for medium cook). The burger was so well done that it had no juices and no taste. Plus, the cheese wasn't even melted. The homemade fries were so burnt, they weren't edible either. The fries with the burger was an unexpected up charge of $2.00 (found that out when the check came). read more

My girlfriend and i love it here, the staff is very polite and understanding about the vegan lifestyle and provide good options! Everything is delicious and my personal favorite is the portobello sandwich mmm! read more

I was at this establishment about a month ago, and the food was EXCELLENT! I ordered the Big Ben Burger, and it was delicious. I even ordered a second to go to take home for my husband. He was very impressed as well. The wait staff is very friendly. I was there with my grandmother and a group of her friends from their senior center. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Since my last review, I've eaten here a few more times. There are many vegetarian options, usually at least one soup, a burger, and more. I thought there bean burger had good flavor but I wish it had a firmer texture. I'm itching to try the cheese curds, but whenever I'm in they aren't. The fries, mozzarella sticks, and fried pickles are all good. Great beer selection too. read more

Great Place... Great Family!!! Awesome food! My wife has celiac disease and she cannot have Gluten. Owners made sure everything was perfect! Highly recommend... read more

We had a very good dinner till the bill came. I was drinking double Makers Mark and soda, I had 3. They charged me $29.00 for 3 single drinks and $2.25 for the soda, then they doubled it and charged me $29.00 and 2.25 again because I was drinking doubles. $60 for 3 doubles is a ridiculous amount. read more

Olde Congo Hotel is a lost gem outside of Boyertown. This small bar & restaurant would appear to be a normal watering hole, but the outside appearance is deceiving. Olde Congo Hotel has a unigue menu or the typical bar-style options such as burgers, sandwiches, and wings. The food, however, is above par and rival that of some national chains. Wings - the best in the area. The wings are 10-fold better than Quaker Steak & Lube. The wings are large, meaty, and full of flavor. The flavor options are the normal hot, hotter, and such, but also include unique and special flavorings such as raspberry habanero or spicy jerk chicken. I can go on and on about the wings. I could go on about all the food, really. Nothing is bad and the portions are great for the money. The Olde Congo Hotel has nightly specials for wings, burgers, and tacos. Beer? Oh yes, they have that too. I am not sure how many taps they really have, but there is enough to have a few known favorites plus another 6-10 craft beers; all on tap! If it's not on tap, then it's probably in a bottle; both local, national, and craft beers. If they ever have McKinney's Black-cherry Cider on tap - order it! The bottom line - my wife and I end end regretting not going to Olde Congo Hotel after we've eating at other restaurants in the Pottstown area. read more
