The menu was fairly simple a bit pricey for the serving sizes but don't let that discourage you . definitely worth the wait which was about 25 minutes. The owners were very friendly .

If you're in the Reading area and you have a taste for Soul Food find your way to Beckett's. For…read moreabout $15 a person you will get two pieces of chicken, two sides and corn bread. Which is exactly what I ordered. For my sides I selected yams and Mac and cheese. Collards are also an option for a side. Additionally, you do have options for fish or pork chops too. If you don't want a combo you can also order menu items a la crate. I would suggest ordering ahead to kill the wait time. Depending on how busy they are you may be waiting about 25 mins for your food if you just walk in to order. There are about two tables in there with a few chairs to dine in. But this is more of a takeout place in my opinion. Depending on your eating habits one platter can very well be two servings. Enjoy!

But this establishment exceeded my expectations by a mile! The food was well-seasoned, full of flavor, and the portions were phenomenal. We arrived about an hour before closing and were still served fresh, cooked-to-order food that tasted amazing. This is easily one of the best soul food restaurants I've been to in the country. I highly recommend it! The service was welcoming, and the music created a great atmosphere as well.

Where am I, anyway? Googling the neighborhood of X-Marks the Spot - Chestnut Hill & West End…read more Sandwiched between row homes, on this quiet, tree lined street, is a little slice of soul heaven. Only a few tables, and one sheet of food pictured paper menu, sits on the counter, where you order and pay. I had some minor gripes, but they're livable (in my book). First of all, I felt the music was a wee bit too loud. I know though, had I expressed this, the volume would have been lowered and no questions or weird looks, asked. Let's get down to the chow, yes lawd - fried fish, collards & mac n' cheese. Portion sizes, ample - enough for breakfast the next morning. Thin, crisp, spiced right coating on that perfectly cooked fish. X's rendition of mac n' cheese, the addition of chili's and the gooey factor, there.. so there. Don't even get me started on their greens. Hope no one sees this, but.. I drank the greens broth; that's how good it was. Cooked tender, a slight tang, a bit of heat and a faint touch of sweet. I was almost tempted to order another go round of collards, but my acid reflux started kicking in. One other gripe, which I feel should be mentioned was the hubby's spicy fried fish sandwich, where the heat came from a pouring of hot sauce onto the fish, suggest to kick it up a notch through the spice, instead. I'll be back, though - get me more of those collards and a box of antacids. Hey, you only live once.

Great food, great vibes, and great service. Definitely a must to check out. Will definitely be back!read more
