    Sour cream out of a tube. You know, like those icing bags they use to decorate cakes. Chip quality ruined this otherwise delish dish :(
    Mike F.

    Hey kids, let's all take a trip to Divey McDive-Town. This place is beloved by the locals. And why shouldn't it be? It has all the calling cards of your favorite local hole in the wall. Off the beaten path? Check. Unassuming, plain Jane looking structure? Check. Simple, straight forward menu with comfort food classics? Check. Smiling, friendly service? Check. Where this place kind of drops the ball, though, is the food. The beer selection is also severely limited. The wings are decent - medium size, nice crispiness, wide sauce selection. The nachos were dreadful. Topped with a paltry amount of dry meat, they really left something to be desired. And somehow, the chips themselves were overcooked. It looked as though they took old chips and tossed them back in the fryer. I know the tortilla chips in nachos are supposed to simply be the vessel in nachos, but in this case, they were burnt, bitter, fried beyond all recognition, and actually took away from the dish. Not sure what they were thinking there! My burger was completely overdone. When I ordered, I did so assuming they'd overcook it. Sorry, I'm just paranoid. So in this case, since I wanted a medium-well burger, I asked for it done medium. Well, it came out well done. Just like in a diner (no matter how you ask for a burger in a diner, even if it's rare, it WILL come out well done). So I told the server, she took it back, and it came out well done AGAIN. I think it's literally impossible for small, divey places and diners alike to cook any meat to order. It must just be an unspoken rule that I wasn't aware of. As for the beer selection, if you like IPAs, you'll be in luck. Outside of their IPA selection, it's Miller and Coors variants. I can see myself coming back here for a beer and finger food with a few buddies, but I would never consider it for a real lunch or dinner.

    Every time I'm in town, I must stop here. I always start with a bowl of crab soup, followed by a double order of wings. The Ghost of San Antonio is a genius concoction of taco seasoning, ranch and ghost pepper sauce. Yum! It is the perfect blend of creamy and heat.

    The Sam's not too heady tonight!

    $5.50 for a craft beer during happy hour is a bit much when there are other choices nearby...

    To resemble such an antiquated pub, Brewer's Bar and Grill was a very good dining experience…read more Specializing in craft beer, American pub food, and cocktails, I must say they food, drinks, and customer service was good. 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!

    Outstanding experience. (Hope this review makes up for minor squabbles about Gracie's, which I too…read morelove!) Located a bit out of the way in the Flying Hills golf course, but worth the drive. Sports bar- Eagles vibe w/ a decent draft list. The kegs weren't working (seems to happen at every bar we attend these days) but still enjoyed a Mike & Merrill Philly Hazy IPA. Wings a good size, crisp, you know, the way wings used to be before everyone started charging an arm & a leg & serving broken pigeon wings. Classic "Buffalo" sauce & blue cheese dressing were good. FINALLY tried famous Caramel Burger (which I missed several times at the Hamburger festival). It did not disappoint. Good size, flavorful patty, & what these people do best- the bacon jam & caramelized bacon. The sweetness of the onions sings thru. Order it! Husband ordered seasonal special Frikadellen/Bratwurst Smash Burger. Skipping right to it- the cottage fries. (Gracie's/Louie's if you had this all the time we'd have no beef! LOL) INCREDIBLE! Crisp, thin, tender, amazing. If you follow me you know I am over the frozen fries served at every eatery in this country. Finally, amazingly pleasant, genuinely happy, server- Reese. She was on my side throughout this whole foodie journey, even the beer & burger mishap (initially burger served w/o cheese sauce). She's a keeper! We'll be back & will spread the word! Till then, stay on your toes! Thank you Louie's for a great meal.

The drinks are served up strong and service by our server tonight, Grace, was very attentive. Every time we come here we order the crispy potstickers appetizer and we agreed that their fried pickles are the best we've had anywhere. The dill dipping sauce that comes with the fried pickles is the bomb. My husband loves burgers and it's not always easy to find places that actually serve great burgers, but tonight he said "this is delicious!" Our server, Grace, was friendly, helpful and paid attention to the right time when to offer another drink or see if we want anything else. The music playing is a mix of genres so there's something for everyone and we enjoy it. They play it at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear it well but not so loud that we can't hear each other talk. And, the outdoor patio seating is dog friendly! Reading some of the other reviews, I am baffled that people are leaving three and four stars when they have nothing but raving positive things to say (awesome, fantastic, etc) about the food, drinks, ambiance and service. That makes a place worthy of a five star review. Do yourself a favor and visit the Liberty Taproom!
