    Fried Chicken
    Jose C.

    We tried this place for the first time and we were not disappointed. The chicken was amazing. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. We loved the crinkled fries. The coleslaw could of been better. The potato salad was delicious as well.

    The chicken is as good as they say...flavorful, tender, crispy...REALLY delicious! Sweet Potatoes and Cornbread were excellent. Greens and Mac & Cheese were good too. We called ahead as suggested and it was ready and well packaged when we arrived. It was a feast! We'll be back for sure.

    Best fried chicken in Reading. No contest. Best to go as in store seating is quite spartan and cold. Collard greens also outstanding.

    Serendipity! Everything was Excellent. Should have been coming here for years. Warm and Welcoming…read more Definitely will return and Recommend.

    Food tasted excellent. Service was exceptional. Server Jake was the best. Food is just a small…read morepercentage above local prices but it is only worth noting because the servings on some choices were not very generous. For example... Burrata Fritta is a generous sized and tasty fried cheese appetizer but, it only came with two small pieces of crustini so you'll end up eating most of it with a fork. Seared scallops tasted excellent as well but there was only 3 and they were the size of a 50 cent coin and about 3/8 of an inch thick. They were served over a generous bed of seasoned peas but, you are buying the scallops not the peas. Like I mentioned before, food tasted excellent there just could have been a little more thought out into appetizer creation. Entrees we selected were a just satisfying portion size and tasted excellent as well. We usually like to take home some of our main entrees for a later small meal but we ended up eating them both in restaurant. One thing important to note of importance to local diners is that entrees do not come with sides or salads. They must be ordered separately. Portions could have been maybe 8% to 10% bigger. I am not complaining but rather suggesting. I will definitely go back again to try some of the other entrees offered.

    I'll never forget watching the continuation of game 5 of the 2008 World Series here when this was…read moreknown as Santino's. I mean I guess it wasn't that long ago, but it feels like a lifetime has passed in between. The bar that night was full of familiar faces. Groups of friends from both Wilson and Wyomissing neighborhoods had been unified with a common aspiration. After nearly two full days of agonizing rain delays, we were all about to witness the Phils bring the city of Philadelphia its first championship in 25 years (since 1983, before so many of us there that night were even born). This isn't Santino's of course, but it's impossible to separate those memories, which is probably the case for many of the folks still coming here who can remember fondly the mingling with family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I'm glad this remained a restaurant and didn't turn into another spa or something. It's a bit harder to go to a spa and think hey I used to drink Jaegerbombs right over there by the koi pond and speaker playing soothing rainforest sounds. You can tell just by the sequence of naming conventions (from "Santino's" to "Tino's" to finally "State Hill Craft Cocktails & Kitchen") the kind of vibe they're going for here. The "Tino's" era, though brief, proved that you could keep the neighborhood charm and just slightly ratchet up the presentation, especially in the food and bar departments. Over time the menu has shifted from fine-casual Italian to more upscale comfort food, with wagyu meatloaf, lobster mac & cheese, and the always elegant, always dashing meatloaf patty melt. State Hill Craft Cocktails & Kitchen or whatever iteration of dining establishment will be there 15, 20 years from now (Luxe Carwash expansion perhaps) will bring together members of the community that wouldn't ever otherwise cross paths. New friendships will form, and old ones will strengthen. The atmosphere was electric that night in Santino's nearly 20 years ago. Everyone was elated, even people who didn't watch sports were happy because they could see other people were happy. For one night we could push everything else aside, the weight of responsibility and care lifted from our backs. A reminder that joy could be had, and our existences, though flawed, remained full of promise with even better days ahead. This is probably the least helpful review you've ever read LOL

    food was good, mocktails were good, and the waitress was nice…read more food and drinks are insanely expensive. $60 for two people and they wanted 25% tip on top of that. I didn't give them that but still. Our total came out to $78. My friend got scrambled eggs, hash browns, french toast, and an espresso martini. I got Brussel sprouts and a mocktail. The brussel sprouts are $15. It was a starter. The mocktail was $15. Also got my brussel sprouts spilled all over the table from the waitress. She then gave me a second one. I don't even know if they charged me for it. Overall fun experience but probably won't come back because of how expensive it is.
