    Out door patio view at sunset.

    I really enjoy this place and ate here again last night. I think it has a somewhat neutral/negative reputation from things that happened in the past but I definitely recommend you give it a try. -There's a great outdoor seating space that's perfect for lunch to late night. -There's a drive-thru for easy pre-order and pick up and a $4 drive-thru special (chicken and veggie gyro with fries). -The food is consistently fresh and savory. Serving sizes are large. -Top menu picks: greek salad, fries, cottage fries, spinach pie, tzaiki (if you love tzaiki sauce, this place has the freshest/most delicious in Berks County. Buy it by the pound - $3.99/lb). Be sure to ask for a loyalty/punch card - you'll want to come back.

    I think the BBQ Super Special is the best deal on the menu.

    My girlfriend and I went to the Bar-B-Q Pit two Saturdays ago. It was the first time that I've been in years (and she had never been there.) I've only ever had what I consider to be the best deal on the menus: the all-you-can eat "Super Special" BBQ 1/4 chicken for $9.99. It comes with a single 16 oz. domestic draft beer (including a bunch of "Lite" beers and Yuengling Lager), all the soda you want and 2 sides. And you can change your side choices with each reorder. My girfriend had the same thing but she went with the "BBQ Bonanza" (basically the same thing that I outlined above, with the addition of country-style ribs. Sides include coleslaw, applesauce, pasta salad, rice pilaf, baked beans, corn (not on the cob), garlic mashed potatoes (with brown gravy if you'd like), baked potato or fries. I'm sure that all of the sides are from a can or frozen (like the fries), but it's hard to argue with the price. It's not fancy, but their patio is nice for eating outside in the summertime. I got two 1/4 chickens (thigh & drumstick) with my initial order. Reorders were single 1/4 chicken with my sides. My girlfriend was served a single 1/4 chicken with two ribs and her sides initially. When you consider that a 1/2 chicken with two sides is $7.99 and it doesn't include the beer or soda (plus it's only two sides and that's it), it's easy to see the value of the all-you-can eat. My girlfriend said that she'd like to go back, but she would just get the $9.99 Super Special like I did... She thought the ribs were overcooked and dried out (though we were there at 8 pm.)

    A healthy children's meal. Bbq chicken and mashed potatoes.

    Bar-B-Q Pit is a staple in my family. We frequent here often for several reasons. First it's a very welcoming atmosphere. This place is perfect for a family dinner with children or a date night with your spouse. The food is very affordable. My 7 year old daughter loves the bbq chicken and mashed potatoes and it's only $3.29 I've never saw such a deal. They also have a freezer chest filled with ice cream the kids really love that. I don't want to forget that the beer prices are exceptionally low and the staff is always attentive and friendly. I recommend you give this place a try.

    Fantastic service & great food. Perfect for date night or just grabbing a drink. The outdoor seating and bar area makes it convenient for both smokers and non-smokers a like. Great selection of spirits, which is a must for people like me who have a tendency to drink top shelf alcohol that is found off the beaten path.

    Love all of the food here! My favorite is the Greek salad. I wanted to take a picture before I dug in but I was so hungry for my salad-I forgot, but I remembered when I was at the end because the best part of my salad is the stuffed grape leave! Yummy yummy salad !!!

    It was good for the price $10

My husband and I assessed Austin's differently. He ordered prime rib which he said was nothing short of perfect. Cooked medium rare as requested, tender, juicy -- he savored every bite. I scanned the menu. Nothing jumped out at me. (I generally don't gravitate to steakhouse-type restaurants.) I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. My point of comparison is Longhorn's which offers more of a bang-for-a-buck, and in my opinion better tasting ribs. Not to say that Austin's aren't good. They are. Based on the popularity of Austin's, it's clear management knows what they're doing. But I think a small salad and baked potato should be available with the price of the entree -- not worth the extra $7 I was going to be charged. The salad is listed as 'field greens,' -- which it's not -- but reading the menu you'll see they mean iceberg and romaine. The salad was good, enhanced by their garlic ranch dressing. We washed down our meals with well-priced drinks: merlot ($8.90) and Blue Moon ($6.90), then splurged on dessert. Austin's flourless double chocolate brownie a la mode is very rich. One order for two adults is plenty. Austin's is aptly described as a family restaurant. A lot of kids. A lot of noise. Service is friendly and on-the-ball. While not my kind of restaurant, if prime rib is your thing -- this could be the place!
