    Classic Jawn Steak
    Charles T.

    Checked out Spenny's this past week while on a little trip to the Reading area. Checked out Tony's a couple years ago and had been hearing I should check this place out and after looking over the menu, I agreed! Decided to go with "The Classic Jawn" - cooper sharp wit, and an order of the loaded tots that I split with my friend (who got herself a chicken cheesesteak). The woman who helped us at the counter, and the woman who brought the food/drinks to the table were both very friendly. The decor was also very cool. They had a fun neon sign and the one wall was littered with various reading and Philly lore. The loaded tots came with bacon and a sauce that was like an American cheese sauce and ranch hybrid. The tots were nice and crispy even with all of the wet and heavy stuff on them and the flavor was very good. I'd get these anytime I stopped here. The classic jawn was a very good steak. I felt at $13 that the amount of meat was perfectly fine but I could see people complaining...it's what they do ‍. Ribeye with cooper sharp and a small dice onion on a seeded Corropolese roll. It was exactly what I'd hoped for when heading in. I'd go back for sure and I'd order the same exact thing. Spenny's in Reading, PA - Didn't Suck!

    The humble cheese steak, chopped
    Mike F.

    If there's one takeaway from this review, let it be known that Spenny's finely *chops* their steak, rather than slicing it. The result is voluminous, airy shreds of steak, that's almost .. uh, fluffy(?) as it lays inside a superb Italian roll. And I really mean they hit it out of the park with these rolls. It's actually the first thing you notice when taking that first bite (that's right, even before the steak itself), contrary to popular belief. The first thing out of our mouths following the first bite was "Wow, these rolls are straight FI-YAAAAAAAA," or something along those lines. There's only one size here for sandwiches, they range from $12-$14, and the proper Philly way to order is plastered on the menu: "Order any steak 'wit' or 'without' grilled onions." You get two nicely brined pickle slices, which is a nice touch. I wonder if they're home brined? I wouldn't put it past them. Sometimes I like to go a little west coast and deck my steak out with lettuce, tomatoes, raw onion, and mayo - aka steak a la California. It's pretty taboo in these parts and may attract some dirty looks. Same deal with adding tomato sauce. I get accosted by my own friends for these types of offenses. But sometimes I just can't help myself, and I have to say this was one of the best Cali cheese steaks I ever had the pleasure of doo doo'ing out later. Hours later, I would burp and be taken back to that afternoon at Spenny's sitting at the high top, laughing, regaling, living free. Don't forget about the bonus treats, like cheese fries, shakes, and FLOATS. These floats made me so happy. A buddy went for root beer, an orange for me. So, so refreshing with a touch of decadence. When a server walked by asking if we needed anything, I jokingly wished for a refill of my orange float. She turned around and asked if I really wanted one. "Haha, no. I mean yeah, but I don't expect you to refill this." She thought a moment, grabbed my cup, and said "Let me see what I can do." A couple minutes later she brings me a whole new orange float. This just blew me away. This was the same girl who took our orders at the register. Stupendous service on her end. One additional note regarding the chopped steak - don't eat too fast, you can end up inhaling and subsequently choking on it, as my one friend did twice during the course of the meal. Then again, he was eating like a piranha plant from Mario 3. There's plenty, and I mean plenty of parking. Seating is somewhat limited, and it's an order-at-the-register-seat-yourself-they-bring-the-food-out type of place. Staff will check in on you as they clear away tables nearby, and the owner likes to come out from the kitchen when it slows down to chat everyone up. Great establishment and serious competitor in the cheese steak battlegrounds known as Reading, PA. Probably the best service for sure. That's what sets it above some other places, particularly one in West Reading.

    UPSIDE DOWN PIE
    Matt S.

    I'm hearing seagulls in my head .it's got that classic down the shore, fresh Jersey tomato taste in the sauce, The crust was the best crust I've had in Berks, crispy light, great slight char. It's 17$ for the 14" pie but I promise, it's worth it.

    Classic Jawn Steak with onions & provolone

    Worth the stop! Great cheesesteak, great service, very clean. If you're an eagles fan you will feel right at home.

    The Classic Jawn

    Excellent Cheese Steak!!! "The Classic Jawn" With Cooper Sharp and Onions. They were sold out of seeded rolls. Great taste and the roll was perfect.

    This family owned cheesesteak joint will get my business time after time after time. The staff is always super friendly. I talk with the father EVERY TIME I come in. Nicest people. Food is crazy good and huge portion. If you need a spot to go before a Fightins game this is the SPOT! You can't walk through that door and not feel like you are in Philadelphia. Before you leave you'll be sayin Jawn, Wooder Ice, and GO BIRDS.

    Shroom Steak

    Great spot celebrating Philly sports and cheesesteaks. Staff was very friendly, fast service. Best cheesesteak in the Berks area by far.

    Traditional Philly Cheesesteak wit!
    George S.

    Spenny's is a cool family run sandwich & ice cream shop specializing in true Philly Style cheesesteaks & hoagies. You can eat in or take out. Everything they serve is melt in your mouth delicious! Make sure to get a basket of specialty fries (I suggest the Spenny Fries!) or a side of their crispy onion rings.

    Very good onion rings and boom boom sauce with REAL boom.

There is little to no parking in the area which doesn't cost money to access. I would love to see a second location in a more accessible area, perhaps with free parking lot accessibility.

I…read morestopped into Willy's Ice Cream Shop expecting a quick cone on a hot day, but what I got was one of the most surprisingly fantastic all-around experiences I've had in the Lehigh Valley. This place isn't just an ice cream shop -- it's a full-on flavor destination. First off, the ice cream is legit Penn State Creamery quality -- rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I tried a couple of scoops and they were perfect. But the real shock was their smoked meats. Despite the name, they're turning out some serious game-made smoked brisket and pork that rivals the best BBQ joints around. Tender, smoky, perfectly seasoned -- I couldn't believe it. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth good and the pork was juicy with that ideal bark. Huge props for the quality and the unexpected menu depth. And then there were the Kamikoze pickles, ring bologna, and hot cauliflower!. These are hands-down the best pickles I've ever had. Tangy, crunchy, perfectly spiced with just the right kick -- I bought 6 jars to take home and I'm already planning my next trip back just for more. They elevate everything on the menu. Friendly service, great portions, and a fun, welcoming vibe in a convenient Fleetwood location. Whether you're craving premium ice cream, killer smoked meats, or those legendary pickles, Willy's delivers on every level. This place is a 10/10. If you're anywhere near Fleetwood, do yourself a favor and go. You won't regret it -- I'm already a regular. Highly, highly recommend!

The french fries that cost $4 had so much salt and some sort of spice mix on them it burned my throat that I had to drink water to stop coughing. I am not a picky eater I will not throw food away however if this would not have cost me $15.00, I would have threw it away. Matter of fact I didn't eat 2/3 of the French fries. And the service it takes FOREVER. They consider their food as artisan per the website.
