    Pork-Stuffed Potstickers w/ sweet chili sauce
    Mike F.

    The RR House has been a Sinking Spring staple for god knows how long. Well, maybe not that long. But I've been a patron since about 2010 and spent most of my 20s there whoring it up. Now, as I enter my twilight years, I find myself enjoying a more restrained, if not chaste way of life. Gone are the nights of licentious debauchery, and in their place wholesome afternoons filled with peaceful autumn walks on trails covered in auburn leaves. Also stuffing my fat whore mouth with local delicacies, like Jimmy G's Signature Steak Sandwich, made with 8 oz. ribeye, minced garlic, sautéed onions, and two types of cheese. There are times, however, when I hesitate mid-bite and think back to the numerous food safety inspection violations reported earlier in the year. The findings painted a picture of fifth and negligence. But hey, what's a little grime on your burger? Maybe it just adds a little extra "seasoning." My complaints about the food don't stem from lack of flavor, but rather the sloppy haste in which items are thrown together. The Italian I ordered didn't resemble an Italian. It was more along the lines of those pre-made sandwiches you find at gas stations with long overdue best-by dates. The burger I ordered didn't have the basic customizations I had requested (adding lettuce and tomato was too much to ask for?). In the end, the biggest surprise was the French dip. By the looks of it, it shouldn't have been as good as it was. There was hardly any meat, and it was squished and compacted like at first glance looked dryer than the Gobi. Luckily the au jus brought everything to life. The salty broth infused a spark of flavor to each bite and helped me forget about the cheese from Jimmy G's Steak congealing in my veins. If the kitchen can get up to code, it'd give diners a lot more confidence when ordering. Hopefully those old violations have been addressed and new ones haven't been committed.

    At one time this place was a regular for us. After a recent visit, it seems as though things have changed. Our service was super slow and our tater tots with crab, barely had any crab on them. They used to pile it on. Very disappointed in this change.

    What a gem of Berks County! A great local hangout with fantastic bartenders and bar staff. The menu is not like normal "bar food". The wings are large and perfectly cooked. Burgers and apps are prepared to order which is a big change to other establishments in the area. Bartenders Adam, Theresa, Annie and others make this a place make it feel like "Cheers"! Don't miss out on the opportunity to have a great meal, cold beer or cocktail, and fantastic food and service !

    RRH Italian Sandwich
    Amber S.

    Looking for a quick lunch, this was a good selection! We decided to sit inside which there was no waitress in site for at least 10 minutes since they were all outside. However, once we were "found", the waitress was great and on top of everything. We just got the RRH italian and a burger, but for basic sandwiches they were made real well and tasted pretty good. Glad we chose this place for lunch :)

    Look at all our happy customers during game 4 of the sixers.  #sportsbar

    "The customer is NOT always right!", "Go to PJ's" Direct quotes from the owner and his equally unpleasant mouthpiece of a manager. This was in response to me asking if the Sixers playoff game (game four) could be put on the tv directly in front of me. Yes, you read that right... it was a simple request to have the channel changed on a TV that nobody else was watching, and i was borderline accosted for the notion. Allow me to set the stage, there were 11 people in the bar. 11. Not 12, not 13, 11. They were all there to watch the Sixers, but only 3 of the 10 TVs had the game on.... my front and center tv? ....Motor Cross commercials. I asked the bartender, Missy, who was pleasant and receptive, if she would mind putting the Sixers on the tv I was watching - as long as nobody else was there to watch motor-cross commercials. She came back to tell me that the manager doesn't allow two consecutive TVs to view the same program. Huh? Wah? Thought for sure It was just a joke... Game 4... Sixers/Miami... Broadcast through the speakers of the bar, but only televised on 3 of the 10 TVs. No, they're serious, my front and center TV is motor-cross commercials, and their rule of thumb is more important than the value of my patronage. As I looked around the EMPTY bar, it became abundantly clear that their success is directly proportionate to their interest in customer service. Zero point zero. Ok, whatever, I'll watch it on another screen. It's worth mentioning they had the game on some old beat projector that I'm sure looks great when the sun rays aren't pouring in, but is otherwise useless. Did I mention there were 11 people in the bar and we are two of them? I told the mouthpiece I understand rules, but asked if she understood it was a playoff game? That's when the owner stepped in and said "if there's a customer who walks in that wants to watch something other than the sixers they can!" Duuude, nobody was walking in, and you have two customers (20% of current base) right in front of you making a simple request. Honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal... to their point we could watch a tv that wasn't in front of us, but come on.... nobody is in here, and nobody is coming in here... we all you got, we all you need. Help me help you. I'm happy you stuck to your guns, but per your request I'll be at PJ's next time I want to enjoy a beer. I'm confident most of your first time customers don't repeat the mistake. I'm also confident you will read this, get heated and instead of learning and growing you will choose to continue down your path of self destruction. The place is a playground for Jon Taffer. 2 Stars because the wings didn't suck and Missy knows what's up. Those other two though... wow. If you like ignorance, this is the place for you to watch the game. Trust the process, question the railroad house.

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!

I had the recommend prime rib pannini and my mom had the fish and chips. They just got their bar opened and he was able to make me a pretty good margarita.
