This place has good reviews and I'm sure it's for good reason. The shroom steak sandwich was pretty good. I have never had a cheesesteak or anything like it so I have nothing to compare it to. The onion rings were decent, the sauce was a little spicy for me. But the upside down pizza was very disappointing. First it was burnt and you could definitely taste it. Had it not been burnt though, it would have still been mediocre. The people were extremely nice and very busy. read more

Spenny's - Hot Honey Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

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! read more

Cooper sharp, wit, peppers in oil, and an iced tea. Friendly staff, sandwich came up pretty quickly and it was a good sandwich.

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. read more

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. read more

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.

So good! From out of town. The place I was working at ordered these in. I was intrigued by the menu. I let a local order for me. Best cheese steak ever. Everything was so fresh. .especially the bread! Everyone got some sort of cheese steak except for one person who got a hoagie...it was huge and again everything so fresh!!! When I come back this will be first on the list. read more

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. read more

Overall pretty solid. Cheese sauce and onions were mixed in well with the meat on the cheesesteaks so every bite had everything. Buffalo chicken steak and egg rolls both needed some more heat, but even still they had good flavor. The spenny fries were like a chickie and Pete's style, but they put the old bay in the cheese sauce rather than on the fries. I liked it that way because I've got one kid who hates any kind of spices so I could split the fries with him and still enjoy the old bay flavor for myself. I think it's right up there with some of the better cheesesteak joints around for the classic cheesesteak. I'd go back. read more

Best cheesesteak in berks. Finally a spot that doesn't put sauce on a steak. Nice people. Good service. Love the wall

Great cheesesteaks!! Reasonably priced food and friendly customer service at the counter. Definitely will eat there again.

This is a counter service sandwich joint with a very pleasant and friendly staff. Staff circulates the dining area, offering soda refills and clearing the tables. I'll be back to try the hoagie. Cheese Steak and Onion Rings were top notch. read more

Between two of us, we bought a cheesesteak, order of sweet potato fries, and two cans of Pepsi for$27. The sweet potato fries were good, but not impressed with the cheesesteak. read more

Finally!!!! A place to get a legit Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly! The cheesesteaks, tots, and onion rings are the bomb.com. They actually use the right rolls, and have the right meat to cheese ratio. They also don't commit the cardinal sin of automatically putting sauce on their cheesesteaks, which is always the worst part about ordering cheesesteaks anywhere in Berks county. The Philly art, merch, and just general atmosphere of the restaurant is on point! GO BIRDS!!!! read more

Best cheesesteak in BERKS! I'm from Philadelphia so I'm picky about cheesesteaks because it's the whole package and the roll was just as amazing as the inside. read more

The cheesesteaks at Spenny's are awesome and the closest around to what you would find in Philly. I've had Jawns, MVPiid, and The Third Degree and they are always awesome. I've never had anything bad here and the workers are great and welcoming. Tots are on point, Onion Rings are great, Spenny Fries delicious, Sweet potato waffle fries very good, Meatball sandwich had that great homemade italian flavor, and they have shakes and water ice. You can't go wrong with anything here. read more
