Stopped in with the family for a quick bite to eat and we were sure happy we did. The people working were friendly and super down to earth. It's a great hometown feeling bar and the type of place that makes you happy when you notice that all the plates don't match. The chicken tortilla soup was better than some I've had in bigger larger "fancy" restaurants and my daughter liked the chicken and Mac n cheese. I sampled some of the wings with their different homemade sauces. Wednesday was 0.85/wing and you can get them in groups of 5+. The honey mustard and spicy teriyaki were my two favorites. We will be back next time for sure. read more

See all

Went with a friend to grab food around 10pm. There was only one other person there at that time and the bartender was friendly but seemed really tired. The food was really good I had the hot honey wings and they were delicious. My friend had French onion soup, fried mushrooms and clams. She said the clams were just ok but the other food was delicious. The food came out within 15 minutes of being there. We also had beer on tap and it was fresh and crisp. Would recommend to anyone near the area. read more

College bar with excellent wings . Over 25 options of flavors . Good value , service . read more

I am utterly dissatisfied with my experience at the place they call a "hotel." This place had to be one of the worst places I have ever eaten in my life. I walked in and they ask for my name like I am in 4th period English class. Obviously I don't recommend this **** hole to anyone. I've been here for 2 hours and got 1 order of goddamn wings. read more

This place blows... styrofoam plates, bad service, and the wings take an eternity. If you are looking for somewhere to eat out in Kutztown just go to tavern. read more

Took so long I was late for bible study. The pastor wasn't happy about that, let me tell ya. I'm sorry but I have to say it this place was like hell. I sweated more calories away than I ate. If Satan was alive he'd abide here. read more

Basin Street Hotel - Satan - American Near Me - Kutztown, Pennsylvania

Their wings are flavorful and unique! Their prices are pretty average for wings, and their owner allowed me to use a discount code which really made it worth the price. We took our wings to go, so I'm not sure what the environment is like inside, but as far as wing quality, I give it an A+. We'll be back- maybe next time to watch a game, too. read more

A nice place to grab a burger and maybe a beer if you're in Kutztown. Not phenomenal but not bad either. Burger was tasty, but wasn't offered any condiments. Wasn't really busy inside so not sure what had happened. Other toppings on the burger though were fresh. read more

Fabulous all-you-can-eat wing night (w/a draft pitcher) on Monday nights from 5pm - 11pm. Plethora of options. Little pricy ($15 per person after tax) and they come out SLOWLY at six at a time. Basin will always hold a nostalgic place in my heart from going to wing night during college; but as they were during college, the service/kitchen is SO SLOW. I can't emphasize again how slow it is. You can literally be the only one in the place, you will wait an absurd amount of time for your order. Heavy Seas IPA, Dogfish 60 min, Harpoon IPA, and various Saucony Creek brews are available in bottles. Drafts are Miller, Coors, Bud, Guinness... read more

Ate lunch at the Basin Street Hotel today & had one of the best crab cake sandwiches I've ever had anywhere ! It was not only delicious but also enormous. My husband had a roast beef sandwich & said it was delicious. The prices were very reasonable. I will definitely return the next time I visit my daughter at KU. read more

One of the better restaurants in Kutztown, PA...and as they say "Best Wings in Town"...which is why I love this place. It's a quaint little bar/restaurant run by some old school Kutztown University Alumni. The wings come in Mild, Hot, Extra Hot, Honey Mustard and BBQ. I'm partial to the Hot, which have just the right amount of buttery flavor and heat. If you're a wing-lover like me, come by during one of their special wing nights and you'll be in heaven - for just a few bucks. Their french onion soup is quite good as well, FYI. Parking is in a small, but adequate lot around the back. read more

Literally the best place to eat in Kutztown! Forget Mama's, Betty's etc (although all are not bad places), the BSH is a LOT better. Don't let the old-timey saloon vibe throw you off. The drinks are cheap and the food fairly priced/delicious. If you ever go for lunch, see if they have the Drunken Chicken sandwich on their specials board. You will literally not regret this decision. Bartenders are so sweet and friendly! Honestly don't know why this place doesn't get more business during the day for their lunch specials. read more

Lowered to 2 stars as I've been served drinks in plastic cups more than a few times recently. Just, I didn't come out to a bar to drink out of a plastic cup. Almost insulting really. read more

The food is good and the drinks are fine but when it came to me and my friends splitting the check our waiter couldn't seem to do it and insisted that we pay one check. At first he told us there was a one check policy when there was a party of over five people... we pointed out that there was only a party of four people and he insisted that he misspoke and he meant to say four people. He did this because he clearly wasn't keeping tabs of who was ordering what(because they are disorganized) and then when he came back with one tab he gave himself a 18% tip. It was only after 20 minutes of passive aggressive back and forth conversation that he split the tabs 5 different ways. read more

Food looks good but didn't end good.. I had the runs like no tomorrow after eating here. The bar is good for drinks but nothing more. Save yourself a trip to the bathroom and eat somewhere else. read more

We didn't eat here, but the food looked good when walking from the table to the bathroom. We had drinks outside and the waitress was really attentive and friendly. read more

This place has great wings and also a great atmosphere. The owner is super nice and even helped my boyfriend help me out of the restraunt when I fainted. They actually care about their patrons! read more

We stopped by for an afternoon pick-me-up and to fortify ourselves with food before we hit a local winery for a tasting. The French Onion Soup was a good-sized portion but was a little on the salty side. Somehow our waitress forgot to place our order of Chicken Fingers despite the fact that we were literally 1 of 3 tables in the entire place. When the Chicken Fingers finally came out (45 min after ordering), they looked overcooked but were actually decent. Request a side of their garlicky Extra Hot sauce for your dipping pleasure. read more

I give them 5 stars for a reason ! Me and my bf have date night every Monday for wing night and love it! Amazing service and even better wings!!! read more

Cold beer, trash cans and down home food. Good stuff! We're big fans and you will be too

No one is ever here anymore. Even when college is in session the olave always seems empty. The staff is kinda impersonal and don't chat more thab they have too. Food is ok, not great. read more

Happy Hour (8-10) is a great deal but you have to pull up the menu online. They do not have it. Service is nice but very slow. Took a while to get our food (3 wings, 1 wrap and a basket of fries). For 4$ the 'large' fry basket is not as large as it should be. Beer selection is OK. Went during happy hour got the food listed above and a beer for 10 bucks. Not horrible priced. The wings are pretty good, the sauce is put on after and they are crispy. I liked the chicken wrap a lot, just a chicken tender wrapped inside a tortilla with lettuce and tomato. The fries are not greasy at all. Overall good experience, if service was just a little quicker I would have given it 4 stars. read more

My wife and I just had a great meal here, Sirloin steak sandwich with Cajun fries and a burger, Washed it down with a few Miller Lites sitting outside....sweet evening. Reasonably priced. Enjoy the front porch on a nice night. read more

Best wings in Kutztown. Really really good quesadillas. The staff is friendly and outgoing. Definitely need to try it.

Used to be one of my favorite places. Love sitting outside and having a brew on a nice day or evening. However, in recent years food quality, timeliness, and serving staff have been below average. Wing sauces are GREAT, quality of wings they are put on has been s**t. Hope this place comes back someday, but for now. Skip it. read more

Basin's Wings are seriously the best you'll ever have! Wing night 9Monday) is a great bargain! They have really great specialty drinks too, fun and personal wait staff/bartenders! read more

Probably great for the college kids, not for me or my wife. A damn shame since it has a cool look, could be something great,,.. No threat of that happening with the current owners. read more

Great wings!! Decent prices on beer & other drinks. Nice, quieter atmosphere, being a little further from campus ...but man, can they throw a great New Year's Eve bash! read more

I went for wings one night for 50 cents and had a fine experience. But the last time I went, the day after Kutzpatties, the experience was absolutely awful. The restaurant was empty aside from a few frat guys sitting at the bar, and my table of friends. We sat there and waited almost 40 minutes just for the one employee that we saw in the place arrive to take our order. It probably took around another 40-50 minutes for the food to arrive. The burger I ordered was supposed to be medium rare, and it was BURNT. It was a literal hockey puck and was charred. The service was absolutely terrible, and the food is pretty bad. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Took me 10 minutes to find a bartender. The bar was completely empty. I had to go to the kitchen doors and poke my head in and ask if they had anyone working. He apologized and told me he would find the bartender. A couple of a minutes later I see the bartender come in through the side door on her cell phone and head to the kitchen and completely ignored me. She came out of the kitchen a minute or two later. I ordered a draft beer and gave me a beer that had a lot of foam and was warm. After waiting that long warm beer I was really disappointed. As soon as I paid for my beer she disappeared again. No wonder the place was empty. It's shame to the bar looks nice, read more

In all honesty service sucked. However it was obvious the girl working the bar had no clue what she was doing. How could you not know what an IPA is and you work at a bar??? It took her atleast 15 minutes to get me a beer and no one was there but me and my girlfriend. The food however was really really good for bar food and priced well. In fact the food was the real highlight of the place. Truth is I'm giving the 3 stars based on the food because the service is the only thing that ruined the place for me. read more

Just moved here and really wanted a good place to eat. Went in....maybe they were busy but only 3 people were eating at the time...just about completely ignored so I left. What a shame. I'm hoping that they get it so the place can be a success. The economy is not that great to lose customers. read more

Avoid this place at all costs, at least as long as the a**hole bartender is working there. Here's what happened: The guy comes over to the table to take my order. I ask if they have Scotch. He says, "Of course we do. It's a bar." Fail. You're supposed to tell me what kinds of Scotch you have, not be a condescending jerk. So he says, smugly, "We have all that stuff." Yeah, right. Turns out they only have Dewar's and Johnny Walker. That's why I asked in the first place. But I'm not trying to pick a fight; I'm just trying to order a drink. But fine. I order Johnny Walker, straight. He pours about an ounce and a half into a glass--a normal portion--and brings it over. Doesn't take long for me to order another one, because there is not much in the glass. Definitely not a double shot. Then, when I get the bill, he charges me $16.50 for my two "drinks." I ask about it and he says, "Two double shots at $8.25 a pop is $16.50." But they weren't proper double shots. If the first one was poured properly, I wouldn't have needed a second. Really? This is how you do business? Why are you trying to gouge your customers? Besides that, the demeanor of this guy was terrible. I said "thank you" to him several times AND HE DID NOT RESPOND. He didn't even grunt. It was terrible. He is obviously unhappy and should be fired. I will never go back to that place to be treated like that. So, good luck with your "business," Basin Street. You would think that you would be in the business of encouraging repeat customers, but you don't seem to be interested in that at all. You seem more interested in gouging me for a few extra bucks. I'm a local and I won't be back. read more

So glad I am graduating so I don't have to come back here! Let me start off by saying our whole table was continuously swarmed by nats during our whole meal! So much so that they were almost flying into our food and it left our whole party feeling like they were still crawling on us after we left the restaurant. Not to mention the service was almost non-existent. We were never offered menus, and at one point our server disappeared and we never saw him again. We were never checked on by him and it just left us confused at the end of the night. Safe to say no tip was left and our whole party will not be returning! read more

Wings were ok, for the price though they are good as they come with a pitcher of beer. I've definitely had better wings but it was decent none the less. read more

Best place in Kutztown Area! Fun staff and fun patrons. Always a good time.

This could be the worst managed bar in Kutztown history. The service is slow and impersonal, the beer is warm and expensive . No music or entertainment and the food is high priced for mediocre​ at best. I have seen cleaner restrooms at a Baltimore bus station. No soap,lights , or towels. I m just amazed at the level of poor management read more

I was excited to eat here because the drinks are awesome, but the food was a disappointment. I had a chicken sandwich and it was so dry that I had to drink some watered down lemonade in between each bite. Then for the rest of the night, I kept visiting the bathroom. I felt so sick for the rest of the day. If you want good food, don't come here. read more

I have never written a review on a restaurant before, or anything else for that matter; it's a shame my first one was roused by a terrible meal. One would think it to be almost impossible to cook an awful pasta dish-a cold one at that- but the vegetable pasta salad I ordered at Basin Street was just that... awful! The pasta was extremely over cooked and tasted almost like it had been pre-cooked and then run under water before being served. As a featured dish on the Vegetarian Menu, it lacked a variety of vegetables; before I asked for balsamic dressing it had no flavor at all. I would have been pleased had it been taken off of the bill and I left hungry and disappointed. I am attending Kutztown University in the fall- needless to say, I will not be back read more
