The Dog…read moreHouse is a Reading staple that everyone knows, and the locals here cherish this little mom and pop type of a shop. I mean its hot dogs, and burgers people. Basically it's a slice of Americana that can never go wrong. I was impressed with the menu with the different variations one could enjoy a hot dog. They do have burgers , but this day was a dog type of day. The staff was very friendly, and helpful when it came down to getting the right order. If I'm ever back in the Reading area I'd definitely stop in again and tackle some more dogs off their impressive menu.

If you enter from the parking lot entrance in the back you are greeted by a pool table right inside the door. They have a bar that can accommodate up to 15 ish people and a seating area to the right if you come in the front door! They have PA games of skill machines and an electronic dart board. The music is loud enough that you can hear it, but not too loud that you can't hear someone across the table from you! They have a small regular menu that consists of Dogs, Burgers, Chipped steak etc. They only run the fryer on a select few days a week when they make wings! There are about 15 beers on tap, 3 of which are rotating! They have a full bar and canned / bottled beer and ciders. If you sit in a seat you will be waited on by the bartenders, BE PATIENT, they probably saw you walk in, they will find you! The food, ahhh the food! Simple small menu, that can't be 100% found anywhere else! I say that, because there is a Johnny and Huns Smokehouse on the other side of the county, similar menu, but the hot dogs are not made the same. They are the star of the show! Coney dogs, where the dogs slowly grill on the flat top all day, or until they're ordered! The longer the better! Burgers are not gourmet but if you put the coney sauce on them...yumm. Burger is better if you order the special, a cheese burger with Chipped steak, onions and coney sauce...yumm again! When I was first told about this place years ago, I was told "order a dog and a special with a beer"! That was some good advice then, and it still applies today!

Rutt's Hut in Clifton NJ. And have had NY dogs and Chicago dogs in their respective cities...this slays them all. Of course, like pizza and wings and cheesesteaks etc, it comes down to what you're looking for in that particular genre. They nailed it here with the perfect combination of mustard onions and chili. Some places are stingy with the chili or pile on too many onions. Not Forest Inn. Perfect ratio. Maybe it is simply the care with which they are prepared? I don't know. But as a kid I would grab a chili dog from the Whitehall Mall (Allentown/Whitehall) at a place called Little Red Wagon. Just a wagon-like stand in hallway of mall. The chili dogs at Forest Inn remind me of those dogs. This spot is your classic dive bar. Typical characters you'd expect. Old school urinals. Jukebox that you can't play with your Touchtune/AMI app. Tons of Pennsylvania Skill games(more than I've ever seen at one bar) Seemed like a clean place though so no complaints. The real star of the show is the bartender/chef/manager Harry. He is on the ball! Super nice guy too. He has to serve all the patrons plus cook up all the food and keep non-patrons from using the restroom or just hanging out. He does it all with ease and is fun to talk to as well. I've been here twice already and will return for third time shortly. It's is 45 minutes from house so I can't go on a regular basis but they're so good I gotta make a trek there a few times a year. Give Forest Inn a try! You won't be disappointed.

The place is walking distance to the Santander Arena and does not get as overcrowded as other places. It is completely unpretentious and very reasonably priced.

These folks might be off the beaten path for some. It's about one minute from the Lansdale exit of 476. For those technology challenged, your GPS might object to the tiny town of Kulpsville. Use Lansdale and you'll be fine. I made the trip up yesterday for an early lunch and discovered that the shop was run by two very personable and knowledgeable sisters. These ladies know their beer! Expect excellent CUSTOMER SERVICE. I love high ABV brews and I was in heaven here. I enjoyed a Pizza Boy Double and an Allagash James Bean both on draft. We're talking 12%-13%. You need to take it easy with these bad boys. My first dog was called the "Cole" for $3.65. It came with slaw and a spicy chipotle ranch dressing. My second dog was a classic chili dog for $3.50. The chili was spot on and they even added a spoon to my order to grasp the spilled deliciousness. Two dogs and two beers made for an outstanding lunch!
