    Great music, introduction to new bands. Very friendly staff! Enough room to dance in a small venue.

    I decided to try this restaurant because of a positive recommendation that I received from someone…read more It seemed like a good place to go after church. I found a parking spot in front of the restaurant. Inside the restaurant was large and there were not a lot of patrons seated. We got a table in the back. Tina, our server, was very friendly. I tried the house mimosa and my guest had the mimosa flight. The size of the four tastings in the flight were much larger than we expected. Next time I go there, I am getting the flight! Both of us had the Chicken and Waffle. The Chicken was crispy and looked like it was cooked in the same style as Nashville Hot Chicken except without the hot sauce. The Waffle was very sweet and had the consistency of a cake. The sweetness was overwhelming for both of us.

GET THE WINGS, the BURGERS and if you want a salad the KALE CESAER is one for the record books! Not only are the portions HUGE the food is very very tasty! Tracy our server was slammed with customers and still was very attentive and provides TOP NOTCH SERVICE! THIS place is a MUST if you are anywhere within an HOUR driving distance!! LIVE MUSIC, FULL BAR, great friends, incredible service and amazing FOOD! I couldn't say enough good things about this place! Even one of the owners stopped by to say hello!! This will be a NEW FAVORITE when traveling through again!! I was told the Bavarian pretzel, and pasta dishes were also worth trying!! OH and the holiday drinks are a MUST!!! Definitely try the DIRTY SNOWMAN or the GRINCH!! Thank you for a memorable experience!! I can't wait to come back!!!

They've done a marvelous job of keeping the place clean to the touch while being in business which seems like forever. Most bars get grimy after that many years. (Nippers and Sly Fox before they closed come to mind). Son wanted to check out Tom's after baseball practice so we drive up. Forgot they were cash only and didn't have a debit card to hit the ATM inside. Worked out with $1 wings and two sodas. I'm not a breaded person at all while my son doesn't mind them. The wings were the best breaded wings we've ever had hands down. The sauce was the mild so can't speak to the other sauce types. The wing itself tasted and mirrored Speck's Chicken. You could probably eat the wings unsauced and not regret it. Have cash or a debit card and try their wings while listening to the jukebox which never has a bad song.

    The meatball sandwich was the worst I've ever had. No hint of beef, bland, mushy, gray. First time…read moreit saw sauce was when it got in the roll. Why am I so angry? It's cause I remember when the original owners would make and fry meatballs on Sunday. So big Floss cut them in half and they soaked in sauce until they got to the roll. I get that things change. I've had plenty of mediocre food service meat balls, but I've never tasted anything this bad. The fries were passable. The cheesesteak pretty good. But those meatballs... made me cry

    Great concert Saturday night in Wyomissing's Atonement Lutheran Church. All three pieces on the…read moreprogram were terrific; the big draw was Beethoven's Triple Concerto, which got a bravura turn from three soloists playing as visiting musicians with the Sinfonietta. But the second piece was a revelation in its own right; a symphony from Mozart contemporary Leopold Kozeluch, who featured much of the dynamics Beethoven would later employ to great effect. This thunderous 6th Symphony was tremendous fun. The Sinfonietta does a great job resuscitating music that has been ignored or forgotten. All were performed under guest conductor Tyler Readinger, who kept the orchestra moving in and out well behind the Beethoven soloists. High-quality music. The concert began with a few pieces played by student musicians in the Berks Camerata, especially some of Dvorak's American String Quartet.

    Berks Sinfonietta is a unique community chamber orchestra based in Berks County, PA. The orchestra…read morecurrently presents between six and eight concerts annually, and has been doing so since 2014 (currently celebrating their 10th Season starting in August, 2023). As community support grows through increased ticket sales and through greater support from individuals and area businesses, the concert schedule will expand accordingly. I should probably mention that Berks Sinfonietta is a 501(c)(3) organization and that means donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by state and federal tax regulations. The orchestra is unique because it is made up of residents of Berks County and it focuses on diverse programming that includes compositions by women composers, composers from minority communities and contemporary composers that are often overlooked by more mainstream orchestras. Tickets are extremely affordable with special consideration given to children and to student IDs! Information about the current concert schedule is posted on the orchestra's website. Concert tickets are also available through their website. Life is about creating memorable experiences, and live music provides that in abundance! If you're looking for a great live music experience, grab a couple tickets and catch the next concert with a friend! If you're new to classical music, Berks Sinfonietta is a great place to get into it without breaking the bank!

    So after relocating to NYC I came down to visit Crash (pre-covid) to pick up some audio files. The…read morenew facility is amazing with the control room having a perfect monitoring room. The whole construction of the studio level ups far beyond any other medium-large set up I seen and revivals if not, beats many NYC studios. It is hard for me to describe how amazing it is but let me quote their webage so I won't paraphrase anything. "The New Studio Crash is a beautiful recording studio built from the ground up to be world class in the field. With a nice large control room, a huge 840sq ft. live room with 14 ft slanted ceilings, an isolation room, a vocal booth, and two separate amp closets we have plenty of isolated spaces to get great sounds without the need to overdub everything. This makes it possible to record very large groups live and still have plenty of elbowroom and acoustic separation. Construction. Many studios may beautiful on the surface, like ours, but what's really important here is the stuff you don't see. So what is inside the walls and below the floor? Our construction entailed room-within-a-room construction. This means the walls you see are actually TWO (2) walls; each of which have two layers of " drywall and special acoustic insulation for sound absorption and a 6" air-space between them. These walls are floating on a layer of neoprene for even more sound isolation. The two pieces of glass in the 8 foot window separating the control and live rooms are each 1/2" thick, adding to the sound control. Under our new strand woven bamboo flooring, each room has its own individual "floating" concrete slab, decoupling it from the other rooms' floors. Even the HVAC was carefully planned, with every send and return having it's own insulated flex-duct all the way back to the HVAC unit. We even installed that HVAC unit in a separate building to keep it's mechanical noise far away from the studio space. The new studio's room acoustics are wonderful. Careful consideration in the design was spent on choosing room ratios as mathematically non-correlated as possible, in order to achieve evenly distributed axial, tangential, and oblique room modes. This means we get an amazingly smooth and accurate frequency response in the room ambience. This is something practically impossible to achieve without building from scratch like we did here." Mike is a PRO PRO PRO engineer. He has a new control surface going from a C24 to a D-Command as well as some focusrite preamps. He can also work on analog consoles as well as digital. The only downside is the breakroom can use some working on (unfinished floors) and parking is a bit troublesome, (I parked in the CVS lot across the way) but what can you do?!? I'd take that perfect mix over anything! See you soon again Mike!
