Spicy Ramen
Jenn A.

Classy and comfortable. Absolutely delicious food that is rich and flavorful. My daughter had the spicy noodle bowl and I ordered the lobster roll sliders. The sliders were amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that there weren't more of them. My daughter loved the freshness of the ingredients in the noodle bowl but avoided the red sauce on the side of the bowl due to its level of spice. The food was well prepared and the staff was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. The interior dining area was clean and well maintained. Decor was a blend elegant and edgy. Loved the whole experience and I look forward to returning in the not to distant future! Perfect!

Vodka Penne and Mushroom Gnocchi Fantastic food and the first Cosmopolitan in Reading that was perfect!

The food is amazing, the service is great and the drinks are on point! If you are visiting Reading/Wyomissing, please stop by this treasure! You will not be disappointed. My husband the empanadas and he was in heaven.

Steak Frites
Lindsay L.

Had a wonderful dinner with my girlfriends at Building 24's restaurant tonight. When you come in there's a beautiful cozy atmosphere with a warm fireplace and outdoor covered and heated deck area. All of our food we ordered was delicious, loved the steak butter on the Steak Frites. They gave us sooo much french fries and I'm not complaining! The orange sauce was like a horse radish spicy sauce. Food was pricy and menu was limited compared to some other restaurants however they give you big portions and the food doesn't disappoint. Overall recommend this place!

I sometimes debate changing my address to 1115 Bern Road, since we basically live here. The food is always phenomenal and service is beyond great. The only downside is, you have such a great time, you lose track of time, have too many drinks, and will most likely need to Uber home

Lovecitydjs

First of all, thIs review comes from someone who has been to building as a regular. Building 24 is easily one of the best clubs I've ever been to. But last night, 11/30-12/1, the DJ with the Instagram handle lovecitydjs was possibly the least experienced DJ I've ever seen. That's okay because you gain experience through exposure, but I call into question Building 24s selection of DJs. Even at midnight, the floor was mostly empty. Panning the room, there was maybe 40-50 people present and all were standing, watching the DJ to see if he would play something club-worthy. The DJ would play a good song to get people to the floor and then change it 20 seconds later to a song that made absolutely NO sense for the audience nor the mix and in some cases, the style. There were a lot of let-down transitions that disrupted the flow (for example, picture building up the beat drop and then when it's time, you miss the beat drop) The DJ did not pay attention to the audience. He had his list and he was sticking to it no matter what the audience said. With an empty floor 85% of the night, I think I'd get the idea that my set is not appealing and I'd make the necessary adjustments. With that being said, that was one night. Building 24 overall is a spectacular club/restaurant and more than worth a visit. I'd pay extra attention to who is the DJ before going though.

Pic 2. Same dish a different day. Burnt and maybe 3 whole Brussel sprouts
Danijel B.

Meh. I feel like this is a mixed review. Went one day and had amazing Brussel sprouts (see pic 1). Went another time and ordered the Brussels sprouts (pic 2) and was just shocked what was put on the plate. Anyone who works in food should know that 2nd pic wasn't servable. Also the little gnats that fly around the bar are very annoying. If you want to be a "fancy" place, quality control is highly important

Strawberry Margarita
Leah D.

Accidentally ended up at Building 24 after The restaurant at the Works was closed. We were hesitant to bring our 3 young boys into a nice restaurant, but it ended up being the best night. They had Kraft Mac n Cheese (every little kids dream) and chicken nuggets & French fries. Our waitress was so sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was absolutely delicious and drinks were strong. Highly recommend the crab cakes!!!! It was storming, so our waitress told us how to get over to the Works without even going outside. 10/10 can't wait to visit again!

It is very tasty. It's very soft. It has a soft roll, the meat is tender and juicy, and the cheese sauce is velvety. It comes with chips which add a nice crunch. Nice lively crowd.

Outstanding experience. (Hope this review makes up for minor squabbles about Gracie's, which I too…read morelove!) Located a bit out of the way in the Flying Hills golf course, but worth the drive. Sports bar- Eagles vibe w/ a decent draft list. The kegs weren't working (seems to happen at every bar we attend these days) but still enjoyed a Mike & Merrill Philly Hazy IPA. Wings a good size, crisp, you know, the way wings used to be before everyone started charging an arm & a leg & serving broken pigeon wings. Classic "Buffalo" sauce & blue cheese dressing were good. FINALLY tried famous Caramel Burger (which I missed several times at the Hamburger festival). It did not disappoint. Good size, flavorful patty, & what these people do best- the bacon jam & caramelized bacon. The sweetness of the onions sings thru. Order it! Husband ordered seasonal special Frikadellen/Bratwurst Smash Burger. Skipping right to it- the cottage fries. (Gracie's/Louie's if you had this all the time we'd have no beef! LOL) INCREDIBLE! Crisp, thin, tender, amazing. If you follow me you know I am over the frozen fries served at every eatery in this country. Finally, amazingly pleasant, genuinely happy, server- Reese. She was on my side throughout this whole foodie journey, even the beer & burger mishap (initially burger served w/o cheese sauce). She's a keeper! We'll be back & will spread the word! Till then, stay on your toes! Thank you Louie's for a great meal.

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!

For the past 30 or so years, "the Spruce," or I guess what I should refer to as the essence of the…read moreSpruce, has retained its neighborhood charm and still provides a fun, casual night out during the week and more lively, raucous entertainment on the weekends. There are two floors, with the bottom being the main dining/bar area with the upstairs being a small bar to go along with a lounge area that can be setup to be a dance floor or band stage. Very versatile setup that can handle a variety of gatherings. There is a side room on the first floor that can be closed off, perfect for small work parties or private events. The qualify of food is quite good under the current ownership. I remember being there for brunch when the chef walked by, said hello, and asked how the everything was. Very friendly guy with an obvious passion for what he's doing. The staff in general looks like it gels together really well. The bartenders in particular, especially on moderately busy nights such as trivia night (Tuesdays), are kind and attentive. Despite being located in a dense residential neighborhood, parking isn't too tricky with a generously sized private lot directly across the street. Under new ownership (the team behind Reading's long-revered Ugly Oyster Drafthaus), it's nice to see the Spruce continue to flourish as it had for decades prior, as sort of a heartbeat of the community.

The waitress was nice as we spoke more with her - friendliness, charm and a smile go a long way. Now the food, we ordered some neat drinks, beers and soft drinks. We had the hummus with pita, the wings, fries and the Bavarian pretzel. Everything was good but the cheese for the pretzel needs to go. I didn't even tried it because it didn't look appealing. I would go again - only if in the area. I will say this - the club music track was amazing!!

They lit the fire and turned on the music for us, which was a nice touch. Overall the ambience was very nice and they took care of us. It's rare I order seafood from a landlocked state but the menu was small enough that you either could get steak, seafood, or a wrap. I went with the special of the day which was a flounder with rice pilaf. The flounder was good but the salmon was much better, would only recommend the salmon. The rice pilaf was good as well as the broccolini. The mashed potatoes were fantastic and the roasted vegetables were what you'd expect. Also had the ice cream cheesecake which was odd and wouldn't get again. Bill came out to about 120 for 2 glasses of wine, 2 seafood entrees, and a dessert. Overall, had a great dinner.

Ordering was OK, however, I had to be relentless in asking for updates on my order as there were a few to-go bags sitting at the bar. I stood at the bar for quite a while and eventually received my food, but not without an unwelcoming attitude from someone who I believe might have been managing orders and the bar. The food was OK. The dining room looks inviting and comfortable, however, it seems the bar is the feature, so don't expect a quiet dinner experience. Definitely a good, casual bar experience in downtown Reading. If at the Doubletree I'll try them again and perhaps dine-in.

Someone at our table asked for bread and they told us after looking at him in a very confused way... responded with, " sure we can get you bread, focaccia bread, but it may take 20 minutes." The main thing is the water took 10 minutes to get to the table and our drinks took a half an hour after the water came. One appetizer came out 20 minutes after that and then another 25 minutes after that the dinners came out. All in all... We didn't get any food for over an hour and 15 minutes. The wait staff and manager had no idea how slow everything was and we were the only table that ordered. Everyone other table was eating already. The ambience is OK... It's not great and it was so cold. It was uncomfortable. We sat in the back garden room. The entire restaurant was too cold.
