    Bensons Tavern

    Not busy on a Saturday night at 6-7 pm. Quiet and comfortable dining with variable food from burgers to wraps to baskets soup and salad. I had a southwest chicken wrap with fries and could only eat half. My friend ate the vegetables shrimp medley with an additional side. Most entrees under 15$. Appetizer and good drafts and craft beer selection. Wait staff was good with a not busy night. We will retro with a bigger group!

    If you are ever in the reading bridal district area check out Benson's tavern, they are under new ownership and service was amazing!! Tracy was our server and we will definitely be back. We had hot barbecue wings, chili, taco salad and spicy balls

    We had a party of six and were seated right away. Service was quick and attentive. I can personally vouch for the Grilled Beefsteak Philly and fries. Portion size was great as was the flavor for both. The table also tried the Fried Deviled Eggs which were certainly different but good. Other items at the table that were both ordered and enjoyed were the Prime Rib sandwich, Reuben and Beer-battered Grouper.

    The Hangover Burger

    Food was amazing, 14$ for a burger and pickle fries is a good price. Quick service and they're open on Mondays when most places in reading are closed. Really good taste in music from classic to rock. I'd recommend if you haven't been.

    This restaurant doesn't look like much on the outside, but don't be deceived. It's a great little place on the inside. There are some precautions in place for covid - curtains between the tables, half capacity, etc. Though I was surprised by the lack of masks on the employees. Anyway, we loved eating here. Coke products. First we ordered the fried pepperjack cheese bites. One of my favorite things I've ever eaten. Cheesy, spicy, and just all around good. Also totally addictive. I could've eaten three plates of them. For our meals we got the meatball marinara sandwich (my husband) and I got a buffalo chicken wrap. Service was a little slow, but there was also one employee working and running all the tables. That was Sandy! Who was totally friendly and a great waitress. She was doing about a hundred things at once, and still found time to be personable with us. Great food. Excellent fries. We got dessert after, a salted caramel bundt cake and sooooo delicious. Warm and tasty with cold ice cream. Definitely would stop here again.

    What's under that tiny piece of bread? Okay it's actually a pretty damn big piece of bread, just an even bigger piece of fish.

    See all

    Valley Tavvvvvvvern is the BEST!…read more First of all - STORY!!! Check out the picture of the guy with the cigar (waits until you look). Ok so you saw him? Well... this is not my picture. This is the ONLY picture that existed of Valley Tavern on the internet. It was on google images. I saw it and thought - ok this place must be cool if this guy works here right? But then thought - oh man it would be so disappointing if we walked in and didn't see this dude. HIGH expectations here. All four of us walk in ... NO JOKE DUDE IS THERE BEHIND THE BAR - CIGAR IN HIS MOUTH AND ALL! We thought - there is no way in hell this actually happened. Like what are the chances? That means this guy would have to be here on a Saturday at 1pm smoking a cigar at the exact time we walk in and HE WAS. We died laughing and ordered a round of beers. Turns out that's not how they do it here. Someone at the bar bought the entire bar a round. Cigar guy tells us when we try to pay it's taken care of. And asks if we want another on the next guy who's payin'. We are floored and then the guy at the bar cheers' us and I say I feel so bad - please let us pay - we are doing a bar crawl and I feel bad I cannot return the favor. He just replies - cheers lady, go cats! (I'm wearing a bearcats hat). *Side note: Friends ordered 2 Jameson's neat before this - friend has a $10 bill and a $20 bill. Thinks oh man - $10 won't be enough so she gives him a $20. He gives her back FIFTEEN DOLLARS. It was $5 total for TWO JAMESONS. WHERE ARE WE?!?! The atmosphere feels like my parents basement in the 70's - but the company is clutch and this was by FAR the coolest place we went all day. #ValleyTavern4Lyfe
