If you're looking for a solid dining experience in Wyomissing, Coastal Grille is absolutely worth a…read morevisit. I'll be honest, I didn't know much about this place going in, but I'm really glad I went and I'll definitely be back. Walking in, the first thing you'll notice is a beautiful, large fish tank built right into the wall on your right. The restaurant is dim and upscale-feeling, but still very family-friendly and not loud or overstimulating, so you can actually have a conversation. They have both booths and tables, and the space is very open and spread out. As a parent, you can even strategically seat your family in view of the fish tank or the windows to give the kids something to look at. It's great for a casual family dinner, a date night, or even a birthday celebration. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with no ramps, you can roll right in to your table. It's located in a plaza but set apart, so parking was never an issue. Plenty of spots, including handicap parking up front with just a short walk to the entrance. They have a solid variety on the menu including alligator bites, burgers, pasta, salads, and more. It is on the higher end price wise. Most entrees start around $14 and up, and even the kids meals begin at $8.90. The cocktail menu is extensive and the dessert menu is worth a look too. They also have a lunch menu where prices vary a bit more favorably. I ordered the Coastal Cheddar cheeseburger burger with no tomatoes and it was excellent. Very fresh, well seasoned, and served with shoestring fries that were equally on point. They also bring out a ciabatta loaf with butter to start, which was a really nice touch. Food came out quickly (always a plus). The staff is genuinely incredible. There's a tag team mentality where anyone on the floor can help you, refill your drink, or check on your table. My server was very attentive, and even when they got busy someone always stepped in. No reservations needed, at least when I went which was on a Sunday around 1pm. Highly recommend!

Excellent food! The soup flight was a great experience. My…read moredaughter enjoyed the crab corn chowder best. It was a bit too peppery for me to fully enjoy. My favorite was the Lobster Bisque. It was creamy and deliciously balanced. The clam chowder tasted like "old soup" as per my daughter's review. It was OK, but did taste like it was canned and therefore we didn't eat more than a few spoonfuls of it. (The crab and lobster soups were gone.) We both thoroughly enjoyed the gator bites. They were well prepared and very tender. My daughter enjoyed stated that she was surprised it reminded her more of chicken than what she had expected. The dipping sauce added a nice touch and was not too peppery or spicy. It was well balanced. The seafood gnocchi was filling and flavorful. My daughter enjoyed it and had enough leftover for another meal the next day. I thoroughly enjoyed my lobster roll and ate the whole thing. There was an abundance of fries, which I did not eat. They were good, but did have a bit more of a greasiness than I prefer. The drinks were typical Coke products, which wait staff were attentive to keeping filled. The ambiance is a great place for a casual quality meal with family, friends, work colleagues, or a date. The salt water tank in the "lobby" is always nice to look at. The place is always clean and well maintained. The booths are spacious and you can talk comfortably without being crowded by other patrons. I love this place because the food is always good and the atmosphere is calming with the dim lighting.

Passing through town, we stopped for an early dinner. At 4:30 we expected the restaurant to be…read moreempty .... but NOOOOO. The place was jumping. We were happy they could seat us. 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!

Very open and inviting, although it was a mild temp day and the heat was on, making it a little uncomfortable. The service on the other hand was sadly not good. Our server, Ana seemed like she was a bit intoxicated while my party was there. She was glassy eyed, face flushed, slurring a little and was not focusing or remembering things well. She initially had put in and brought me Brussels sprouts instead of truffle fries. She was speaking to us very awkwardly, and lingering and giving some people in our party weird looks and responses. I'm not sure what all was going on. We enjoyed ourselves and had a great conversation, and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately though, the service was not good at all. We had very long waits for our water at the beginning of the outing, let alone for the drinks we ordered from the bar. One of the beers that was ordered was also very flat.

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.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza…read more The server was scattered brained. She asked us if we wanted our food to come out all at once. We said "yes, of course. She didn't bring straws for our drinks. I received my food first. I sat there waiting, 15 min., for the others to be served. Finally I told another server to take my food back to reheat. Another 10 min went by and another rec'd her food and mine was still in the back. After 8 min. my food came out and about 8 min later the third person got her food. Our server never came back to see if we needed anything else nor check on our dinner. The restaurant was not busy. I was extremely disappointed.

My review is based solely on my interaction with a manager at Queen cafe…read more (Know that the pic showing "sold out" is after the time to pick up our order and only to show there's no instructions on their site about them being pre order only) TL;DR: We placed a large office online order last night for today pickup. On arrival, we were told the order was only available for Super Bowl Sunday (two weeks away), despite the system allowing us to select Friday pickup with no instructions. The issue was handled defensively, with quick blame, little care and no accountability. Basically ended with a "tough luck better next time" tone. Proceed as you wish. For those who want details:A colleague had been bringing wings from Queen Café to our office on Fridays for a few weeks, and they quickly became an office favorite. It reached a point where team members were coming into the office specifically to enjoy them, even on days they would normally work from home. On January 22nd, we placed a large online order (150 wings) through their Toast system for Friday, January 23rd pickup. Just before arriving to collect the order at the scheduled time, my coworker received a call asking to confirm whether the order was for the Super Bowl on February 8th. At that point, we were already en route and the receipt clearly showed the order was placed for January 23rd. We were told that the wing style selected was only available for Super Bowl Sunday and that only 40 wings were left for purchase that day. This was confusing, because the system allowed us to select that option for Friday pickup with no direction or restriction. Along with this they are normally closed on Sundays as shown in the pictures. When we arrived, we waited patiently to speak with a manager--not expecting extra wings to magically appear, but hoping to understand what went wrong and how to avoid this in the future. Sadly, the interaction was immediately defensive with a very direct blaming tone. We were told the order had "just appeared" at that time in their system and that the wrong option had been selected, with no room for discussion. There wasn't even an attempt to review the receipt that showed when the order was placed and pick up time. I kindly asked why the option was available for Friday pickup if it was only intended for Super Bowl Sunday. The only response was for us to either receive a full refund or purchasing the remaining 40 wings at full price. We chose to take the 40 wings. I asked whether there was anything that could be done to acknowledge the inconvenience, as this appeared to be a system or process issue rather than user error. The response we got was very rude, dismissive and reactive, rather than understanding or solution-oriented. Before leaving, I asked how we should place large Friday orders in the future to prevent this from happening again. We were told to order the same way as before and that the day didn't matter--despite being told moments earlier that the system didn't register the order until noon next day for our pickup time. This left us with little faith that the issue wouldn't repeat itself or if there was concern about if it did. Overall, the interaction felt more accusatory and defensive than customer caring. I understand mistakes happen, but it's how they are handled matters. We were hoping to continue making these large Friday orders a regular tradition with Queen Cafe, but based on this experience, we'll be looking at other options. Advice to customers: If there's an issue with your order, be prepared for challenging cooperation & little consideration from management. Advice to management: Review how ordering options are presented to your customers, take accountability when it's on you/your systems, don't blame your customers, and approach them with some level of empathy to listen for a solution.

Staying true to my game. Chilis never disappoints…read more There was a ton of fanfare to come to this one. My lovely date grew up in this area and her love for chilis blossomed at this very location. Needless to say, expectations were SKY HIGH. And needless to say, Chilis hits another home run. One of the odd things I learned is that this may be the only bar in the area. I witnessed my first group of patrons religiously taking shots at the bar. Additionally I think this is a shopping center for local high schoolers to hang out. Think the entire bar was full of teenagers. Strange. Would recommend

For food, of course the chicken wings are their staple food and the quality is good. They have a standard of allowing you to choose multiple wing sauces for wing orders of 10 or more. This is great because it doesn't restrict you to one flavor for large orders of wings. The burgers, pasta, and salads are also very good. My server was very helpful and exercised very friendly customer service. Overall a good experience. I will visit again when in West Reading, PA.

Fun restaurant and bar in the Reading, PA area!…read more My friends and I were traveling through Pennsylvania and we wanted dinner, a place to watch a football game, and good food/beer. We found Brewer's on Yelp and and were very happy with our visit. Brewer's had a local feel to do it and a lively atmosphere for a Thursday night. The food menu has a large selection of different types of food so almost anyone can find something to eat. Great selection of beer with a lot of regional offerings. Also seem to run a special for different types of alcohol for most nights of the week ($6 large draft IPA beer on Thursday night). I ordered the brisket meatloaf sandwich that came with BBQ sauce and gouda cheese on top. The sandwich was very tasty and I especially enjoyed the pretzel roll it was served on. I liked that I was able to substitute a side of perogies instead of chips. The moon ranch grilled chicken sandwich was a little underwhelming and the moon sauce was the only positive to that sandwich. The service was good and our server checked back in with us multiple times during our visit. There's also a beer outlet with a large selection of craft beer attached to the restaurant so you can take local craft beer home with you. They call themselves a small place with the BIG selection!
