Food was great! Had a burger and fries. Service was good and the weather was perfect to eat on the deck.

This place is a hidden gem!! Excellent food and service!! Definitely a must if you live in the area!!

I had Clam chowder with some French fries. Both were very tasty. My wife had Chili and French fries. One order of fries would have been enough for both of us. read more

We ate at Bertie's in last night and had a great experience. Been wanting to try this place for a while and they did not disappoint! We ordered a mango margarita, Mexican street corn fries, garlic parm fries, chicken caeser wrap and a kielbasa cheesesteak. The street corn fries were piled high with street corn, sautéed onions, jalapeños and cheese, for 10$ that was a steal! The parm fries were covered in parm cheese and garlic butter. The cheesesteak was piled high with chopped kielbasa, onions, and cheese sauce on top of a soft roll. The caeser wrap was delicious also, filled with grilled chicken, lettuce cheese and caeser dressing Will def be going back for more! read more

Bertie's Inn, under new management for the past year plus and I think they might have had some growing pains but now they have really hit their stride. Service and food quality is excellent. I just had the berry crunch salad and it was awesome. Angel food cake croutons? Soooo good. They have burgers to order, also very good. They also make their own kielbasa loaf and you can get that in a cheese steak or on nachos, both recommended. The beer selection is nice, plenty of other cocktails, ciders, hard seltzers, etc. They have pretty much moved the whole operation outside to the enclosed (as needed) deck. Unfortunately, Berties is no secret. This place is packed all the time and parking can be problematic. Get here early or make a reservation, but really just get here early! They do offer gluten free and vegan options. Get here, fast! read more

This place is a dive bar with below average food. The service is terrible. The owners are too busy sitting at the bar instead of working. Not to mention the mildew smell. YUCK read more

The deck area is great, the pita I had was really good. The sweet potato fries were also really good. An overall great outdoor bar experience. read more

First time visiting and definitely not the last! We heard the build-your-own burgers were good and then we saw the ad for build-your-own bloody mary's. They were fantastic!! The burger made into a salad was delicious and the black and blue salad was great. Lots of variety in the ingredients. We loved it! Plus the outdoor seating is so peaceful and relaxed. read more

Although we waited 30 minutes for even our drink order to be taken. Once that happened it went much better. The Crabby Patty was delicious and my husband loved the chicken wrap. Our waitress was friendly and not over attentive. Atmosphere was fun and friendly. read more

Food was ok but Service was terrible and they weren't that busy. I worked in restaurants for 15 years so for me to say service is bad takes a lot. I was there...arrived around 5:30. Sat at bar with 2 others. I'm sorry if my honest review offends you. We did not complain to manager...just paid and left read more

Excellent food choices and the service was fantastic! The deck is just fabulous this time of the year with blankets to use but were not needed! Just excellent at! Definitely will be back again! read more

We love Bertie's Inn! Excellent food, fantastic deck with lots of seating, also both outside and inside bar with loads of screens. Great burgers, plus lots of other fresh things on the menu. Great beer selection, staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Can get busy at night. read more

Excellent place. Went there to hear our friend Axe Dungeon play n thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good bar food. The spinach artichoke dip was excellent and they give you plenty of chips to finish it. My husband had the burger which was great n I had the kielbasa cheesesteak which was yummy. Beer is cold. People are wonderful read more

Great Burgers, good prices, excellent service. And FUN! We live a stone's throw from Bertie's, but only visited last week for the first time since forever. SO FUN on the back porch! Line dancing to a DJ's beat was a hoot to watch (& join in), & the burgers -- Bertie's claim to fame -- were just delicious. Service was superb too. They also have a trivia night, & a karaoke night. If you're looking for a relaxed time w/ good basic food & laughs, for a very reasonable sum, Bertie's is IT!! read more

Food and atmosphere is great. The staff is also very kind. The wings were on point and the burger options are fun too!

Always a good time. Such a relaxed vibe, good food, and good music! Great turnaround from the old Berties.

Best burgers around! Nice place to hang out with friends or bring your family for dinner. Everything I ever tasted was delicious. The new owners were exactly what this place needed, very friendly and accommodating. read more

Been going to this place for over 30 years! Love how it has evolved and grown into the bar it is. While the menu has expanded the food quality is just OK in my opinion. Had a Berties burger which has been the long standing staple and it was just OK. Not great, not bad but just OK. While I will be back, we will see what their quality is like. read more

Food is great. Beer is cold. Various entertainment depending on which night. Live Music, Open mic, Karaoke. Wing night Mondays and Thursdays. Great Burgers. Service is good and friendly. read more

Very good food,nice ambiance,serve is also awesome.owners are onsite.great getaway in the woods.

Burger were great, you can customize. Service was very good. Reservations are a good idea.

Bertie's is your Best Bet for Burger & a Beer in Berks. And on this particular summer night it was simply the right place to be. Bertie's is not a fancy place. From the outside it's a rather unassuming old stone inn, placed too close to the road like many other Berks establishments. The inside of the inn is also fairly mundane but comfortable. The real action is out back. Weather permitting, the place to be is out in the back where they have a spacious open-air covered deck area. The large rectangular bar is the heart of the action, but there are plenty of (plastic) tables on the deck as well. An armada of slowly turning ceiling fans keeps the air moving nicely. Full bar. Draft beer selections are limited but okay. Beer is served in plastic cups, which is not a great way to serve beer, but I suppose it does provide a pit of a picnic atmosphere. The menu is mostly bar food: appetizers, sandwiches and burgers. The burgers here are very good! Hand pressed burgers, cooked to order. No fast food here. I ordered the house special Motley Burger. Pulled pork on a burger... genius! Seriously. At the risk of offending my Catholic, Muslim and vegan friends in one fell swoop, I think the folks at Bertie's have stumbled on the immaculate concept of burgerdom. The burger is quite nice by itself. How to make it better? Hmmm... let's pile some pork on it. Oh yeah. You gotta try this one. The staff here is the friendliest bunch of people I've met in some time. Four stars for Bertie's. I say check it out! read more

sad for me to say this but I was not impressed by the new Bertie's. we ordered our food but one meal never came. After waiting 20 minutes for the food the owner gave a lame excuse instead of just admitting that a mistake was made. I would have thought he would have tried to do some goodwill but he never did. I always thought the old Bertie's had expensive beer but our pitcher of beer cost $19.50. The deck was full of people and they did not have the staff to serve all the people. Our server was overwhelmed and overworked. Meanwhile the owner was inside doing paperwork. Needless to say I had a horrible experience that could have easily been corrected by the owner. read more

My fav spot around Reading. The outdoor bar is the best I have experienced. Gets a little packed but that is ok in my book

Amazing! If you are local you must go here - even if you aren't. This was our 2nd time here and it did not disappoint. The family that bought this place less than 1 year ago is amazing. They are friendly and always improving the atmosphere, menu and band choices. The female owner greeted us and actually remembered serving us the first time we went. We were served by Ben tonight and even with a packed restaurant he didn't skip a beat - we didn't wait for refills or any of our request. My only regret is I didn't take any pictures. We started with a Dutch platter which was fresh and delicious - mixture of ring bologna, cheese, pickles and crackers. My husband then had a kielbasa cheesesteak - which the son smokes himself daily.....he said it was amazing. I had a Greek pita - it was delicious and packed to the brim. Overall great experience and I cannot wait to go back. Way to go New Bertie's 's Inn - thank you for keeping it local, better yet - thanks for keeping it good! read more

very good burgers and service. i really enjoyed the atmosphere about the place and the outdoor seating was great. Over all a very great local restaurant read more

Love the burgers, love the outdoor bar!! The huge rectangular bar offers TVs and plenty of good people watching. The servers are young but really competent so you're never left waiting for long. If you don't want to sit at the bar, there are plenty of tables with room for big groups. You can order a dutch platter appetizer even though it's not on the menu. On nights when there's been live music on the deck, it's been pretty good. Yes, it can get smokey, but it's not that bad (and that's coming from someone who's pretty sensitive to smoke). read more

Bertie's is a hidden gem in the ever lacking Berks country restaurants with a nice, family friendly outside deck for food and drinks in the summer. The burgers are great, and so are the fries. Cold beer in plastic cups. Classic summer place. My complaints stem from the atmosphere and the service. This place could be so lucrative, it's not even funny. Maybe even double or triple what they do now. This place is poorly managed. They need more of a waitstaff, sometimes to even get a beer and drink takes longer than should. Also, rarely have live music. Music definitely needs to be pumped in the background, nothing crazy loud, but it's needed on a summer night. They have a jukebox you can pay to play but the volume is unhearable. More music= more attention from customers= which mean they ultimately stay longer and drink more. Such a shame, love the food here but they need management help! read more

First timer and opted for the deck. If plastic drink cups, paper plates, somewhat over rated burgers and a no credit card policy is for you, Bertie's will be a favorite (or maybe not). The handy Bertie's indoor ATM rescued me but only after $5 in service charges from Bertie's and the bank. Waitress indicated it was printed on the cover of the menu but when is the last time you read the cover of the menu? Burger meat was probably cold when it was cooked giving it a tough exterior. BBQ on the burger combo was very good, worthy of a BBQ sandwich sans burger. read more

Whether you opt for takeout or to dine in on the huge covered outdoor deck during this pandemic, you will not be disappointed with the food or atmosphere. Bertie's Inn is family owned and operated and these folks continue to offer a huge menu of dinner options that appeal to all tastes - with that special homemade touch. read more

Basic burger done right. their burgers are no frills. They are a basic burger. But that is not a problem. Too often things are over complicated. The burger was what it claimed to be and that is why I enjoyed it. The atmosphere was that of Cheers where everyone knows everyone. The review would have been better if not for two things. Smoking is still permitted and it is a cash only location. read more

The food at Bertie's is always pretty good. Burgers are always a great choice. The deck is a great place to hang out on a summer night. They have live music most weekends. Show up early if you want a seat. It can get very crowded. My only negative is that they allow smoking on the deck. It wouldn't bother me if it was just a bar, but six people chain smoking next to me while I eat is disgusting. read more

We enjoyed it. Just me and my 13 year old daughter. Food was good, service good and super friendly, plan to bring some friends and family next time. Great outdoor atmosphere. read more

One of my favorite places to go on a Friday night in the summer. Laid back atmosphere and reasonable prices. Good bar food. It is a great change from all the "chain" places.Service is excellent. It is family operated with family members filling many jobs. Family friendly place. read more

Best burgers in Berks!! Love this place. Been going here for years and they never disappoint. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to eat, drink and relax read more

Since this restaurant was voted to have the best burgers in berks we decided to try it. Outdoor seating was ok if you don't mind people smoking around you. If they offer seating inside that is news to us since we were only offered outdoor seating even though strong thunderstorms were in the area. Drinks were in small plastic cups and food was brought out on paper plates with limited napkins and no utensils. Burgers were not cooked to order. Very small portions of fries for an additional charge. Probably not going back. read more
