It probably has the least amount of seating of the bunch, so combined with their no reservation policy, timing is everything. Weekdays are usually pretty calm, but weekends are a madhouse. Sunday hours are also a bit tighter, open from 9am to 1pm instead of the usual 8am-2pm, so something to be aware of. The food, service, and decor all get high marks. Bonus points for serving sides of jelly in miniature sealable jars. When I see jars, it tells me the owner isn't cheaping out on anything. You won't find any stinkin' plastic ramekins here. Only earthen, stoneware plates and shiny copper mule mugs. Fresh is the rare boutique-class brunchery that respects diners' space by generously giving it to them. With its compact storefront, it was a pleasant surprise to see they didn't try to cram as many tables as physically possible in the dining room. That means on even the busiest of days, you aren't forced to sit on top of your neighbor. This property has an interesting history, having been home to one of my favorite brunch spots back in the day, Bistro 614. Then, back in 2014 it burned down, managed to rebuild and reopen a little over a year later before closing down for good in 2019. Years went by where it was just a barren, neglected empty shell, and people started to wonder if anything, much less a bistro replacement, would ever move in. Our prayers were answered in 2022, and with its opening Fresh instantly became one of the trendier brunch destinations in town. Going more for quaint than SoHo chic, dining here feels like visiting an old friend, an old friend who burned down and bummed around aimlessly for a long, dark stretch, but came back better than ever.

An OK takeout experience at Cheers Bistro. I visited late in the evening and it seemed like they…read moremight have been preparing to close the kitchen for the night. 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.

The food, service, and drinks are amazing! I bit on the pricey, side but overall a great experience.read more

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.

The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than your average diner--everything was impeccably clean, and the ambiance was very pleasant. My friends both opted for the "All You Can Eat Buffet," which I understand is what this place is famous for (especially on weekends!). Their plates were packed, and the fact that they both went back for seconds speaks for itself--they loved it. I went with the Norway Benedict, and I was honestly blown away. It featured two perfectly poached eggs and smoked salmon on English muffins with a very generous serving of Hollandaise sauce, accompanied by a side of home-fried potatoes. The presentation was beautiful, the taste was excellent, and I truly can't think of a single thing that would have improved the dish. Service Highlights: * Attentive Staff: Our server was great--present when we needed drink refills but never intrusive. * Efficiency: They were quick to clear empty plates rather than letting them sit on the table, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

No misses on any of their meals, though the sweet cream pancakes are a particular standout, as are the bananas foster French toast with orange brandy (!!!). Huge portions. Plus, on weekdays they hand out complimentary mimosas. My only possible complaint is the access to condiments. The coffee does not automatically come with cream, and it's not on the self-serve shelf with the sugar packets. Likewise, the toasted English muffins do not come buttered and they don't ask about whether you want it at the register. So sometimes you have to get up multiple times to ask for the basic things. Service is friendly and prompt and I LOVE that the music is chill jazz and piano. It's a great environment to meet up with friends or even to bring your laptop and work for an hour. It does get pretty busy at peak times in late morning (like 10-11:30 am) but they have a really nice patio out front that will double the table space once the weather warms up.

My husband and I thought we'd try this for our post-Valentine's day breakfast. We ordered 2 large coffees; 2 eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns; breakfast pizza; and French toast. We wanted to try everything! It cost more than $50!!! And what made that costs so outrageous is that while the food was good, it wasn't anything above diner food quality food where I could have gotten everything for less than half that price. The food was good, but not worth all the extra money spent. The staff was all very friendly and amicable. The service as incredibly fast-- I was shocked it arrived so quickly. The venue was very clean and had cute cafe vibes. Self service to pick up your coffee accoutrements and you needed to clean off your own table space at the waste bin. Despite the price, I'd like to come back in the spring so I could sit outside at the nice cafe tables and try a lunch choice. Glad I tried it to speak to it but I'll stick to my diner quality breakfasts for diner prices.

When you walk in it's pretty busy, I went around 12:00 p.m. the wait time was about 30 minutes. I was with my friend, so we went back into the car and waited in there because there is not a lot of space in the lobby area and it seemed a little claustrophobic in the lobby. When we finally came in I wanted to order the western omelette and substitute the ham for steak and I found out that it will be an additional $12 on top of the meal price and or the chicken would have been $6 more. I decided to go with the veggie omelette. The food was pretty decent I would say it's like an upscale diner feel with a Mexican flair. It has many Mexican inspired dishes as well. The dishes have a nice presentation for the most part. I think I would come back again, it wasn't too bad for two people it was about $40.

After years of travel and reviewing breakfast spots, I found my heart restaurant. A place I know I'll think about quite often through my lifetime until I'm able to come back once again. The crooked hen is a quiet little establishment right in the heart of the hills of Pennsylvania. I love them so much my first try, I came back a second day in a row. My firet try, I ordered the lox on the NY bagel. You get a GIANT portion of smoked salmon, kapers, cream cheese and fresh tomatoes. Absolutely decadent. The salmon was perfectly smoked and still fresh, which is hard to achieve considering the cost of this ingredient. The crooked hen nailed it. The lox and bagel were better than anything I've ever had in New York and honestly, New York could learn a lesson on portion from this place! My second try, I got the crab cake eggs Benedict with hash browns covered in cheese, peppers and onions. WOWZA! The immense burst of flavor out of that first bite of crab cake blew my mind. Incredibly fresh, not too fishy and light! The HOUSE MADE hollandaise sauce was thick yet creamy and perfectly balanced. Most places serve "gritty" hollandaise sauce because it's been over cooked, set in a heat tray for too long or over heated during the cooking process. The poached eggs were actually poached too! Which is quite impressive because most restaurants choose to fry eggs for eggs Benedict because poaching an egg is hard to perfect. The crooked hen nailed that too!!! Considering eggs Benedict is what I always obsess with over during my travels! I'll be DREAMING of those decedent crab cakes for the rest of my life! The hash browns were also perfectly crisped and the peppers they layed on top were perfectly cooked and perfectly sweet to off set the savory. Again, I'll be dreaming about this dish for the rest of my life!! In to the staff and establishment: PERFECT. The facility is incredibly clean and the staff is so clearly well taken care of by management as the waitress I got two days in a row was a soft spoken and polite young lady. The crooked hen is so incredibly lucky to have this young lady!!! She was quick to serve, she was quick to make sure I was taken care of during my entire dining experience. (both days). I plan to come back over the summer on a personal trip. That's how good this place is. No wonder they've been voted best lunch. (Even though I got breakfast items during lunch, there's a good reason for that too! - DELICIOUS!) Bravo, crooked hen. Bravo.
