Brewery

The airy and industrial space offers a wide selection of craft beers and hearty pub grub. Established in 1998, Fegley's Brew Works has become one of the most beloved breweries in the Lehigh Valley.

I recently hosted my daughter’s graduation celebration at this venue, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Dominic was our main point of contact and he was extremely attentive and kind, making everyone feel welcome. The food was also delicious and presented beautifully. From start to finish the team catered to our every need, allowing me to truly enjoy my daughter’s celebration without any stress. I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion! Unfortunately I don’t have pictures of the tables but they were set up beautifully and the details matched the party theme perfectly. They also had a sign upon entering the building to tell guests where to go and they even added flowers to match the theme of the party! Again I am so grateful for the amazing management and team, I will definitely be returning in the future to host future events !

We are beyond grateful to Dominic at Fegley’s for making our wedding day absolutely magical! From the moment we started planning, Dominic was professional, organized, and incredibly kind. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always going the extra mile to make sure every detail was just right. On the big day, everything flowed seamlessly — from the beautiful setup to the delicious food and drinks. Our guests kept raving about the service and how amazing everything was. Dominic truly brought our vision to life and made sure we could relax and enjoy every moment. If you’re planning a wedding, we highly recommend Dominic and the team at Fegley’s. Working with them was one of the best decisions we made!

I recently had my wedding at Fegley’s (9/21/25) and I highly recommend. We had a smaller wedding with a little more than 50 people and really felt like the place fit our vibe. Especially because we included a beer blending unity ceremony. Dominic was our main point of contact and he was great to work with and answered all my million and one questions. He was especially helpful as we stumbled our way through figuring out our rehearsal. (On the day of too!) All of my guests raved about the food. One even said it was the best wedding food they ever had. I couldn’t have been happier as the team here was so professional and made our day go off without a hitch.

Worked a wedding at this venue recently and had a great experience. Communication with the staff in advance of the wedding and during was top notch. Everything was handled very well and the couple was very satisfied. Having a wide variety of event spaces is a great asset as well. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue where you truly fell welcome and cared for.

We just hosted a sweet 16 and I had an amazing time! Everything turned out great. The process was very simple and affordable for the package plan we chose. Lots of menu options as well! I was working with Dominic Dominguez the event coordinator to pull off the vibe we were looking for. He was very accommodating, flexible and timely with communication. Every detail we requested was met. He also popped in throughout the night to make sure things were going smoothly. We had made an error with the invitations and ended up having to start an hour earlier than expected but it didn’t interfere with the staff and we even had the option to decorate the night before. Overall, everyone was happy and the fried Mac n cheese bites were a hit!

We had the most amazing and beautiful reception at Allentown Brew Works. I can’t thank the banquet staff and our coordinator Dominic enough. The food was astounding, the space is a great size and easily customizable and the service was 5 stars. It was an amazing value for our money and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you are considering booking for your wedding or reception, don’t hesitate!

We are incredibly grateful to have found Fegley’s for our wedding! We celebrated our special day here just a few weeks ago, and it truly was the most beautiful and memorable experience of our lives. A huge part of that is thanks to Dominic — an exceptional wedding coordinator! From the beginning, he was attentive, supportive, and genuinely passionate about helping us bring our vision to life. Dominic was incredibly patient, always responsive to our many questions, and made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. His dedication and enthusiasm were evident every step of the way, and we truly couldn’t have done it without him. The venue itself was stunning and spacious — the perfect setting for our celebration. Our guests had such a great time, and we received so many compliments on everything from the atmosphere to the flow of the event. The food was absolutely outstanding! Everyone raved about the dishes, and we’re still thinking about those pulled pork nachos — a must-try if you’re visiting Fegley’s. I order them every time I go! Dominic, thank you so much for your guidance, your quick responses, and for going above and beyond — from setup to cleanup and everything in between. You are truly amazing, and we would gladly host another event at Fegley’s again, especially with you involved! with love, Jess & Mel <3

My wife and I recently had our wedding at Fegley's and I can't say enough great things about them. Dominic and his team were top notch. We toured so many venues and this one was so much better than even some costing way more. Our wedding was spread out over four floors and Dominic and his team ensured that each one looked beautiful. The food was incredible and the bartenders were so friendly. My wife and I were able to have our dream wedding in a beautiful venue, with great food and friendly people and it was so affordable. I couldn't ask for more!! Thank you for a great night

Seafood restaurant
Henry's Salt of the Sea is a charming seafood restaurant in Allentown's West End Theatre District, offering a French-inspired menu with a variety of fresh seafood dishes. The rustic ambiance and old port tavern feel add to the dining experience, where the owner takes pride in wearing an apron rather than a tie. The menu features an array of seafood prepared in different styles, accompanied by delectable sauces and sides.
My girlfriend and I visited here for the first time. We loved the atmosphere with its dark woods and narrow style. It was also great to see the chef cooking in an open kitchen next to our table. Our server, Holly, was welcoming, knowledgable, and had perfect timing. My meal began with clams casino. I have had the dish in Chicago, New York City, and several other places, but this was the absolute best I had ever tasted. We enjoyed their fresh dinner rolls and their stellar house salads, complete with in-house prepared croutons. I went on to plate of lump crab that was light and delicious while my girlfriend enjoyed her wonderful chicken dish. And our drinks were stellar. My Hendrick's gin and basal martinis were refreshing while my girlfriend loved her pumpkin martinis. It was like liquid pumpkin pie. We couldn't fit dessert but we took a limoncello ice cream treat to go, which was tangy and refreshing. We cannot wait to return!

I've heard a ton about Henry's and now I know why! Took Mom for a birthday dinner. They were so accommodating to squeeze an additional guest in last minute! The cocktails....wow. my pomegrate martini was top notch. The food was phenomenal. All of it. I had the Caesar salad (salad is included with all meals), broiled seafood platter (the scallops were perfection....the best I have ever eaten) and tiramisu. Get the broiled seafood platter trust me (lobster, clams casino, crab imperial stuffed shrimp, scallops, sole in brown butter with green beans and a baked potato. Holy yum! Just go...but leave a seat for me!

After what felt like months of trying, I finally scored a last minute reservation at Henry’s Salt of the Sea a small, always-booked spot in Allentown that I’d been eager to check out. I lucked out with an 8 PM table the same day I called. When my wife and I arrived, the place was packed and lively. We waited a few minutes at the door before being seated, and from there, the experience was flawless. Our server was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had, extremely attentive without being overbearing. We started with drinks: I went with a chocolate peanut butter Old Fashioned, and my wife had a lemon drop martini. Both were on point. For appetizers, she had the colossal lump crab with warm butter, and I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops with a brandy sauce. Both were phenomenal and plated beautifully. The main courses didn’t disappoint. I went with the swordfish special, and my wife chose the classic surf and turf. Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and lived up to the hype, something that’s rare and refreshing these days. To wrap it up, I ordered the house made crème brûlée and a coffee. No complaints there either, just a great ending to an incredible meal. I can confidently say that Henry’s Salt of the Sea was worth the wait, and I’m already looking forward to the next visit.

Ordered the haddock and loved it, it was so flavorful and reasonably priced. Staff were very attention and friendly as well. The roasted potatoes were one of the best side dishes I’ve ever had as well. I’m giving a 4-star rating because the green bean vegetable dish was bland and flavorless. I would recommending adding some salt or roasting them as well. Would definitely come back.

This establishment seems to be frequented by loyal locals. The ambience gives old school there are paper place mats booths with wooden benches. For the price I would expect white table cloth service. Any who on to the details the hostess was busy and cordial. A seasoned woman not charismatic has her best hosting days behind her. We order a couple of appetizers I will only rate the one we ate trying not to be negative, the mussels in butter sauce were plentiful however the butter sauce was extremely oily. I’m accustomed to a light butter and garlic sauce but we used the sauce to dip our bread which was more suitable. The two entrees in the photos are the seafood platter and the Walleye fish. The seafood platter received a good review by my partner with an inexperienced palette but I did try one of the scallops an it was a little gummy. The walleye entree the fish was soft and moist not over cooked with tomatoes and mushrooms in a creamy butter sauce that was light. It tasted fresh not a lot of herbs or salt. The mash potatoes were good and the vegetables were steamed al dente in their natural state. All in all the food was not bad but I found the quality vs the price $110 for food only, I don’t see the value in returning.

Henry's Salt of the Sea is a French-inspired seafood restaurant located on W Allen St. in Allentown. It's open Monday through Thursday, 4:30 PM - 9 PM, and Friday and Saturday, 4:30 PM - 10 PM. Reservations required. I can't believe it's been nearly a decade since I was last here. It feels so good to be back, everything is just as incredible as I remember. My friends and I started with the bacon wrapped scallops, fried calamari, and escargot and garlic butter. The scallops could have used a few more minutes in the oven, but overall, the appetizers were flavorful and skillfully prepared. For dinner, I ordered the fruits de mer, one of my favorite dishes, and Henry's absolutely knocked it out of the park. The dish features a generous mix of lobster, shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat, all served in a creamy garlic sauce over linguine. My friends had the broiled cold water lobster twin tails and chicken Alfredo. The lobster was sweet, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and served with brown butter. The Alfredo was rich and creamy, with juicy, well cooked chicken. Our server, Jaime, made the evening even better. She was attentive from start to finish. Henry's is hands down one of the best restaurants in the Lehigh Valley.

Filet was cooked wonderfully, unfortunately the crab was chewy and lacked flavor. Side of garlic parm potatoes were excellent, and the green beans were too hard for me. Service is slow but it is very busy there so I understand. Overall a good experience

Seafood restaurant
Steak house
Youell's Oyster House is a historic seafood restaurant located in Allentown's Hamilton Park neighborhood. Dating back to the 1800s, it has undergone various name and location changes before being re-established as the legendary seafood restaurant it once was. The remodeled space includes a rooftop garden, offering an upscale dining experience. The menu features a variety of seafood dishes, including bang bang shrimp, bacon-wrapped scallops, and jumbo lump crab cocktail.
This is fine dining in an open, casual space with a large bar, and second floor seating. Thanks to the kindness, professionalism, and timeliness of Molly, our server, we had one amazing evening of food and drink. My girlfriend loved her mango mojito and my Ketel One vodka martini with blue cheese olives truly satisfied. We began with hearty house salads (spring mix) complet with in-house prepared croutons. I indulged in a healthy plate of oysters Rockefeller to start while my girlfriend had one amazing French onion soup. I got a seafood combo that included perfectly cooked sole along with a delicious lobster tail and shrimp, and the scallops were tender and tasty. I even loved the mixed vegetables. We also had some outrageous asparagus on the side. We cannot wait to relive the experience.

We went in to celebrate a birthday. I do love that they’re open on Mondays( Beyond Tf for that) Such a plus. The service was great, loved the staff. It’s one of my family favorite places to go. It was my first time and despite wanting to absolutely love it, The dish I ordered was sub par at best tbh. Salmon and friends just aren’t a great combo in my opinion. I wasn’t completely impressed, I personally had better but the service and atmosphere definitely made up for it. I did however enjoy the other dishes my family ordered. I did enjoy the blueberry lemonade, very yummy drink.

Youell's Oyster House is a seafood restaurant located on Walnut St. in Allentown. It's open Monday through Friday, 11 AM - 8:30 PM, Saturday, 11 AM - 9 PM, and Sunday, 11 AM - 8 PM. My friends and I had a reservation last Thursday at 6:15. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess upon arrival and promptly seated at our table. For appetizers, we shared the coconut shrimp, fried calamari, bacon wrapped scallops, and a crab cake. While everything was enjoyable, the standout was definitely the scallops. The bacon was perfectly crisp, the scallops tender and well-cooked, and the accompanying raspberry chipotle compote added a sweet and smoky touch. For my main course, I had the half pound lobster roll, tossed in rich brown butter and served on a perfectly toasted brioche bun. It was absolutely outstanding! I'd come back to Yoell's just for this. My buddy went with the surf & turf, which includes an 8 oz filet mignon, a 4 oz lobster tail, and jumbo lump crabmeat. Definitely a great choice, he was more than satisfied! The service wasn't terrible, but it was surely disappointing. Our server lacked friendliness and any sense of personality.

We tried this out last weekend. The seafood was top notch. The crab cakes were excellent. No filler and all lump crab meat. They were succulent with just the right amount of moisture in a crab cake for my taste. I have had many different crab cakes and these are the best I have tasted. Delicious. The New England clam chowder was very good with large pieces of clam meat. The fish and shrimp was also good. Overall we had a great dining experience. The desserts were ok, but nothing stand out. The next time we go we will have the crab cakes and clam chowder and skip dessert. 2025: Still the best lump meat Crab 🦀 Cakes in the area.

My wife and I came here on February 16th, and we were seated right away since it wasn’t busy. Our server, Christian, was really nice. He checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. He handled all of our requests without any problems. The food was pretty good. My wife got the baby back ribs and had no complaints. My daughter had the mac & cheese and ate all of it. I ordered a burger with French fries, and they even served nacho cheese sauce, which most places don’t. The burger tasted a little off, so I couldn’t finish it, but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, we had a great experience!

A group of 3 of us went on a Friday (around 4:30-5:00pm). It wasn't crowded but the crowd started to build as we were finishing up. We ordered a pretzel bite appetizer, BLT wrap, buffalo chicken sandwich, voodoo Mac balls, chicken Parm and fried funnel cake Oreos for dessert. Everything tasted fantastic. The pretzel bite appetizer was a bit on the small side (about 5 or 6 pretzel bites). The mustard dipping sauce it came with was really tasty though. We liked the voodoo Mac balls so much we ordered a second round of them. They had a lil bit of spice but nothing crazy. Mostly just delicious cheese. The buffalo chicken sandwich was a good sized filet. The chicken Parmesan dinner was also a good size. Very crisp, which I love.

This is a well reviewed local restaurant with a sports bar flare. It claims to have PA's best fried mozzarella. Although I can vouch for such glorious designation, it was never the less tasty. The waiters are very friendly, perhaps too much. One of our waiters had an animated conversation with the table next door for over ten minutes, ignoring other tasks. The amount of food is incredible and well prepared. Both my wife and I couldn't finish what was given. For the price you pay, you get a lot of food!

Shout out to MIGUEL in the Airport Road location for preparing and presenting the great food. Since we arrived for happy hour we decided to try their infamous mozzarella sticks. Really good! Last time we were here to watch football games back when it was Damon’s and so, after reading another recommendation from the Brutally Honest of LeHiValley site, we decided to stop by and try those chicken breasts topped with chimichurri and sides for $19. Hubs ordered the sirloin, crabmeat stuffed haddock, mashed and steamed spinach for $25. Emily served us well with a pleasant demeanor. Even tried the grapefruit mojito.

We decided to try it here again my son got the Lauren's Cheese Burger Club. He said it was good and wasn't extra greasy, different with a hard-boiled egg on top, but still tasty. Portions were good and had a side curly fries. I got the Kathy's Patty Melt, and that was super delicious as well, with amaerican cheese and salted onions. Everything came out hot except for my fries they tasted a bit old. The service was good. Our waitress kept coming to check on us which is always a plus. We got seated right away, and drinks were ordered right away as well. This is definitely a great local spot.

Wert's Cafe is a family owned and operated restaurant that is known for their signature burgers. They are located on N 18th St. in Allentown, and open Mon - Fri 11AM - 8PM. I haven't been here in close to a decade, so I was way overdo for a Wert's cheeseburger. The burger is stuffed with mushrooms and onions, and then topped with Velveeta cheese. It's absolutely amazing! There was so much flavor to the burger, I didn't need to add any sauce. My buddy ordered Nikki's bacon bleu cheeseburger. The broiled burger is topped with bacon, bleu cheese dressing, lettuce, and tomato. He said it was one of the best burgers he ever had. We also ordered a crock of French onion soup and split the famous fries. The fries are topped with Cajun seasoning, crab meat, and homemade cheese sauce. Good, but nothing to write home about. Service was stupendous! We were greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we walked through the door, our server was attentive, and the entire staff made us feel like family. Pickup is available, but there is no delivery.

My Husband and I had dinner here after I had a terribly stressful day at work. I needed to vent but it was super quiet with a older clientele so I had to whisper vent. The waitress kept my beers flowing so that helped. The food is pretty good. It's not somewhere I would go to eat regularly. But I will occasionally eat here.

First time at Wert’s and I was treated like family. Kathy was the sweetest and made sure I had a great experience. Listen, I don’t even like PB&J that much but the monthly special was PB&J burger, so you know I had to try it. Also got a side order of curly fries with BBQ sauce (which was homemade). My goodness gracious it was all superb and for $16?! Ya gotta be kidding me. Best restaurant I have been to in a while and just might be in my top 5 all time. Bravo Wert’s, bravo.

Restaurant
Union & Finch is a charming American-style bistro located on the corner of Union Street and South Fulton Street in Allentown, PA. The restaurant offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere with wood-heavy decor and an old-fashioned bar. Open for lunch and dinner every day except Mondays, it's a popular spot known for its seasonal American fare. The menu features delicious dishes such as crab cakes, steak frites, and vegetarian meatloaf, accompanied by an extensive beer selection.
Union & Finch is hands-down one of my favorite spots in the area. The food is consistently exquisite — every dish is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. What really sets them apart, though, is the warmth and professionalism of the owners and staff. They make every visit feel personal, like you're part of the family. On top of that, I routinely order from Union & Finch for catering at my company, and they’ve never missed a beat. Deliveries are always on time, and the meals are a hit every single time — our employees genuinely look forward to it. Their attention to detail, quality, and service make them a rare gem. Highly recommend both for dining in and catering!

Excellent brunch experience - reserved for a group of 8, and they set us up with a nice space in their cozy dining area. Food and drinks were fantastic, as was service. All staff were very friendly, but Alexis specifically was excellent taking care of our group, laughing and joking with us while we celebrated a birthday. Couldn't recommend more.

It was nice they could accommodate our large group. Our server, Jake was awesome and probably the best part of the experience. The drinks were overpriced and underwhelming. Food was eager but fell flat to my expectations on taste and value. I would go back to try the lunch as the options look more appealing, but I wouldn’t get the drinks - keep it basic and lowkey and you’ll enjoy find it more valuable.

A nice restaurant with a bar, pleasant outdoor seating, great food and service. We went for their brunch and weren't disappointed. Reservations are a wise choice and parking is limited in their lot. I went with the Savory Stack for my brunch.

This was recommended to me from a close friend for good burgers. I was very pleased with the menu. My wife and I sat at the bar. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend the Pittsburgh steak salad they provided a unique lemon and vinegar dressing that was perfect. They had very good selection of local beers to usuals on tap and mixed drinks heard were great. If you are in this beautiful town you need to check this place out.

My mom and I were in the area for an appointment at LVHN, and had some some time to kill so we had some lunch at Union & Finch, since it was super close and the menu looked yummy!! We were greeted promptly and sat at a "low" table as requested. Server was friendly, the lunch menu had tons of great options, but we settled on the Burrata with roasted red peppers for a starter, then Pesto Fettuccine topped with chicken and the Tahini Caesar Salad topped with grilled shrimp. Both lunch entrees were fabulous, bursting with flavor! Honestly, probably the most unique Caesar salad I've ever had!! Will definitely eat here again, should we be in the area in the future!!

Union and Finch is always an excellent choice. We (a group of 7) went last night (10/19/2025) to celebrate a birthday. As always, the food was delicious. I delivered a cake to the restaurant earlier in the day and staff made sure it was kept refrigerated and even put on the decorations provided. Staff made sure the cake was brought to the table at just the right time. Sarah, our server, was 20 out of 10. Sarah was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. If you haven't been to Union and Finch, go...you've been missing out. If it's been awhile since going there, make your reservations and go back. This restaurant is one of the best in Allentown.

If you're on the hunt for a unique culinary experience in Allentown, look no further than La Bicicleta Arepa Bar. This charming eatery specializes in Venezuelan cuisine, particularly their stuffed arepas that are generously filled to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. Diners rave about the flavors and freshness, with standout dishes like the fried pork arepa paired with a delightful homemade tamarind drink.
I have been here 2 times I get the Avacado chicken white rice and sweet plaintains The only thing I will say is, I wish they would give more then the portion sized given it cost of roughly around $17 but it’s decent. It’s good. It’s something different.

This little sandwich was amazing!!! Never had a stuffed arepa before, and it was soooo good!! In case you're wondering, it is not a tiny sandwich, they stuff it to the max. Super filling, really good, grab one of their natural juices too, and boom 💥. We need another one of these shops somewhere. 👍👍

I had a while without going to eat at this place and it was close and I decided to go in, I don't know if it was the time or the day but the employees were not friendly (except for a girl), as if they didn't mind taking my orden, at one point they even ignored me. It was a little uncomfortable because I decided to eat inside but honestly I wouldn't go again, I would only order through an app, and what a shame! Because they have very good food and before the vibe of the place was excellent.

The food is okay, but their prices are wild. There is absolutely no reason why a place like this charges $20 for a bowl of rice, beans and 4 pieces of Maduros. To be fair, many restaurants in the area are very expensive, but this one is out there for what they are serving.

I placed an order to go, from the beginning the service was very bad the 2 people who served me had a not very friendly attitude, I placed my order to go among that I ordered a cachapa which when I opened it at home we saw that it was an arepa that seemed to be prepared many hours in advance, completely dry the dough was split and hard, I also ordered 3 bowls which were 80% rice little meat and little of what is supposed to come, an arepa reina pepiada filled only halfway, an order of tequeños that were somewhat burnt also I ordered 3 extra arepas which I did not receive when I called for them the person who answered me seemed not to care that they had made a mistake. The salsas are an additional cost which they do not say ok is it fine I can pay for them but the quality is terrible when we go to eat the salsas are spoiled they taste horrible. I understand that Venezuelan food is expensive because it is very manual but the prices for quality and size are very high. I won't be back. Terrible experience. I didn't realize the quality of the food because it was a takeout order.

Had my first Arepa ever and it was delicious! They load your arepa with meat. Next time I would probably pass on the plantains because I don’t like to mix sweet with my savory. The workers inside were extremely nice and the building was very clean.

We decided to stop in here for lunch. It was my first time in there.

I bought a coupon off Clipp. Was excited to try the place. My son graduated from the police acadamy tonight so we needed a place to celebrate . I called a few mins before we arrived. They got a table ready for us. There was initial confusion about who was waiting on us but once we got waited on...he was fantastic. I wish I knew his name so he could get credit. The only complaint our party of 5 had was my salad. There was 3 little pieces of Cucumber and 3 cherry tomatoes. That's it. No Crutton's,onions, or cheese. It was super boring. My Manicotti and garlic bread was good. My daughters pasta, the cheese steak, peanut butter maple burger and French onion burger were all very good. Even the soda was good. The price was spot on. The owner? Came over to ask how our food was. You can tell everyone really wants you to have a good experience. Glad I bought the clipp coupon. We will definitely go back.

Bad experience all the way around! Ordered 2 slices of pepperoni 🍕 and it was so greasy and under cooked. We took 4 paper napkins to drain the grease off the pizza. Under the pizza slices was (surprise) another pool of grease. We had to put the mouthful in a napkin and the other slice we didn’t even bother. The waitress only took one slice of pepperoni off the bill. My husband just wanted to leave. When they brought the slices they left cold bread and cold pizza sauce in a small bowl on the table for my Stromboli. Who serves cold sauce with no Stromboli together? It sat on the table cold. We are nice people and still tipped and the service was below par. We won’t be back. We also took the Stromboli home and there was 2 hairs in the food.

A friend had bought pizza here before and brought it to a party. The pizza was fantastic, which made us want to dine in when we were near. The experience: started with a salad that came with the meal. As my wife was eating her salad the busboy reached over her to grab something on the table, sticking his elbow in her face. The tables are pretty much on top of each other. So much that when a worker came out to talk to a diner who was not in our party but seated less than a foot from me, the worker was standing directly behind me, and it wasn't a quiet conversion. The waitress dropped our food off and never came back until she dropped off the check. Yes they were busy but I counted 4 workers standing at tables just chatting to patrons. The food: first pic is the gnocchi bacon mac and cheese, though it says handmade fresh, it's definitely frozen. Had a horrible freezer burnt taste. Second pic, eggplant parm sub. Looks pretty, tastes horrible. The eggplant was bitter, all the sauce is just glopped on the top, pick up the sub and you have a puddle of sauce you have to dip your dry sandwich into. There was also a strange odor to the sandwich. Couldn't tell if it was spoilage or the oil. Also purchased was the shrimp basket. Bad aftertaste like bad oil was used. Then the "coleslaw". It's more pickled cabbage. Very sour, not good at all. So sad, we had great expectations after the pizza, but dining in was almost as horrible as their food. Cost was almost $70 for 3 people to eat horrible food.

My husband and I have been enjoying Biagio's food for a very long time. Up until about a year ago everything was perfect. Biagio's it's a little bit more pricey then your typical pizzeria but generally was worth it... until about a year ago. This is the third time we purchased pizza and both pizzas have several bald spots (missing cheese)... The first time I didn't say anything.The second time I called about it. Now, this is the third time and i'm writing a review. As you can see by the pictures I have plenty of crust and several bald spots (missing cheese) on the pizza..... not what I would expect in the past. Additionally, the sauce used to be so good and lately it just seems sour... I'm not sure if they have new owners. Or if they cut back on certain things that affected their quality. Either way it's definitely not worth the price. Unfortunately , I think we're going to have to find a new favorite pizzeria. If this used to be your favorite pizzeria, prepare yourself since you may be disappointed. If you order take out here I suggest you look at your food before you leave the restaurant.

Ordered catering for a shower, some sandwich trays and a sheet pizza. When I went to pick it up, there was a mix up with our order. Without hesitation, they immediately got the address and said they'd deliver it asap. They even threw in some awesome desserts which they didn't have to. Everyone loved the food, and it really made our event more special with how they handled everything.

First time here and my experience was great. My server Ally was absolutely phenomenal - she struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving me space to enjoy my meal. She had an incredible knowledge of the menu and recommended a drink based on my love for mango. The food was outstanding and drinks are great, the ambiance seems perfect for a date night - intimate lighting, comfortable seating, and just the right noise level for conversation. Combined with Ally's attentive service and the delicious food, I will return again to see what else I can try off the menu. Thanks again. 😊

Well, the customer service is good, but the food is not appetizing, I think they can do better. When I went for the first time, I expected something more pleasant to my palate, I'm sorry to say. I had a high expectation and did not meet it, the atmosphere is good, the atmosphere is also calm, but they should focus more on what the client asks for so as not to make mistakes.

We took a road trip from Texas to Pennsylvania, and when we finally arrived, our friend surprised us with a reservation for a lunch date the next day (7/1/25) at 1 PM. She said this place was amazing...and she wasn’t wrong! Our waitress was super helpful and gave great menu recommendations. We started with the bao buns as an appetizer, which were absolutely delicious. For our entrees, we had the Paella del Mar and the Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich...both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also tried the Bubbles and Bloom cocktail, and it did not disappoint..strong, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. If I'm ever in the area again, I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The food was absolutely amazing. It was cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. We had the barria routine, which was pretty spice. The beet and goat cheese perogies were so flavorful. Wine braised short ribs and the ribeye we very tender. The carrot cake and cheesecake was top notch! The atmosphere was chic and laid back. The bar has a classy look and some fancy drinks.

🌟 **Lunch at Shelby — A Truly Special Send-Off** Today, we had lunch at Shelby just before Jay headed off to Army boot camp. As always, the food was incredible, and the service somehow managed to exceed expectations yet again. I’ve never had anything less than a wonderful experience here. What made this visit especially meaningful was the heartfelt gesture from the manager, who came over personally to wish Jay luck on his journey and to thank him for his service. In an act of kindness, she even comped his entire meal and dessert—a small gesture with a big impact. It’s moments like these that remind us how much genuine care and appreciation still exist in the world. Thank you, Shelby, for turning a simple meal into something unforgettable. Thank You

This was our first time at The Shelby, and let me just say, it was hands down the best food and dining experience I’ve had in a while. ✨ This place has an inviting atmosphere and radiates brightness and tranquility, creating a peaceful vibe. 👩‍🍳 Our server, Elizabeth, was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, warm, and knowledgeable, her service elevated the entire experience. She made us feel welcome and well cared for throughout our visit. 🍽️ Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the food. Every dish was made from scratch using the freshest ingredients, and you could taste the craftsmanship in every bite. The Beef Birria Poutine Starter created a literal party of flavors. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the birria broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced and bold without being overpowering. The House-Cured Wings with BBQ Sauce were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired with scratch-made blue cheese and ranch sauces that were simply delightful. My mother had the turkey burger, and I had a taste...wow. Even something so simple was a standout in its own right. I had the Southwest Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken. From the bean and corn salsa to the pickled red onions, fresh guacamole, and creamy blue cheese, every component was vibrant and delicious. We finished our meal with a slice of vanilla bean cheesecake, which was served with a berry purée, honey whipped cream, and graham cracker crumbles. As a self-proclaimed cheesecake snob, I can confidently say it lived up to my high standards. 🍹 Their drink menu is extensive and impressive, featuring handcrafted cocktails, and a delightful selection of mocktails for someone like me who doesn't drink alcohol. I opted for the Tropical Delight Mocktail, and it was refreshing, and absolutely delicious. 🎉 MyFinal Thoughts: Every bite was a celebration of flavor, layered, balanced, and masterfully composed. None of the flavors competed, but everything complemented each other. Also, the presentation of each item was beautiful and enticing, and the portions are very generous and worth the money. The Shelby has officially earned a top spot on my list of favorite restaurants, and I can't wait for my next visit. If you’re looking for a place that combines exceptional food, stellar service, and an enjoyable atmosphere, The Shelby is it. (I was so eager to dig into the food that I only remembered to take pictures after we already dug into the beef barria poutine and wings. 😅)

Had my retirement party there today. Staff was amazing as well as the food. One thing I want to review though. Asked for the cheesesteak which was amazing…however, please go back to a type of roll that was like the original you used to use. The pointed end roll is wayyyy too hard after toasting. Even a steak knife was super hard to cut with and chewing it was tough!

Saw the restaurant and wanted to try it out. First of all the owner(Adhnan) of this restaurant is awesome. He will greet you and will ensure you are happy or else he will not charge you. There were many dishes that we tried and all were great. You should surely try their Tabouleh salad. One of the best I have ever tried. They have fries and chicken for kids and great rice bowl for everyone with lamb or chicken. Do try this place if you are in the area. It’s awesome. FYI they have some good veg and vegan options too!

When you first step in someone comes to your table to take your drink order; then someone comes to take your food order and all the while every team member is available for questions, assistance or to chat if you have something on your mind. The inside is decorated like a secret, off the path New York deli. I just found Syb’s, even though I’ve lived in the Lehigh Valley for many years and I’m so glad.

Great breakfast and lunch deli. A throw back type of deli you don't find around anymore. Wonderful deli restaurant with great food and great service. We have tried their Reuben sandwich, turkey Reuben, sausage quiche, asparagus quiche, bagel and lox, and omelets among other things and the food is always consistently good and delicious. Small and cozy place with seating inside and outside in a very comfortable relaxed setting. Fast and friendly service with very good food and a helpful staff. Good menu selection with something for everyone. Everything was delicious with fresh ingredients, filling portions and fair prices. It is street parking but there are always spots available. Well worth a trip. Love it. Keep up the great work.

My son and I stopped in here on a whim. We were going to get breakfast sandwiches however it was too late for those and also 20 minutes from closing time. The woman who assisted us was so kind and pleasant. She offered other alternatives that they had available. I almost decided to go up the street but I couldn't dismiss some of the items I saw in the cooler. The woman allowed my son to try pastrami for the first time... he loved it and ordered a sandwich which he loved even more. He said "Mom, I should've got 2", lol. I ordered 2 sides and a slice of pie which was stacked super high with strawberries (see attached pictures) although the pictures don't do it justice. I also loved the tortellini and potato salads. I'm so glad we decided to "try" Sybs out because we can't wait to go back!!

What a find! I was just looking for some breakfast near our short stay in Allentown, I found Syb's. The food is excellent and the help is great, as are the owners. I had a crepe stuffed with scrambled eggs, topped with a delicious, light cheese sauce and scallions. It was really tasty. My wife had the Nova platter, which was also most excellent. We brought home some items from the deli and found the best surprise of all, their whitefish salad. We've eaten A LOT of whitefish in our lives, but my wife and agree, this may be the best either of us have ever eaten. We live just outside of Philly, so there is no shortage of good whitefish but Syb's is in a category of delicious all on its own. Even with a 40-minute ride, we can't wait to go back! Small, old style deli with very little seating, but WOW the food is amazing!

2022 Update: Syb's was one of the first places I visited when moving here 4 years ago. It is just as good now and possibly better. Same good folks same good food. Busy and bustling with regulars and a cozy environment. Definitely check them out. I tried the pastrami on rye with russian and slaw. It was delicious. Cathy, Mary, and Daniel were very friendly. The atmosphere and prices were just right and their selection of Kosher meats to go is great. Highly recommended. Can't wait to try their soups and middle eastern dishes.

This is going on the top of my list of favorite Allentown spots. I kept driving by this place and just commenting about how cute it looks from the outside. Till I finally invited my friend and went there to try it and it was just as cute on the inside! Tho the place is reallllyyyy small they still somehow managed to fit maybe like 10 tables inside there and you bet they're all filled! You're surrounded by retro aesthetic decor that is just adorable. You can sit down at a table and someone will come get your food. Or you can just order at the register and take ur food to go. Both are good options as their food is just so delicious! And their prices are fair as well! Though my only comment is about the wait time. You might wait a bit longer than expected for a breakfast sandwich but I don't mind it as their decorations can keep you entertained for the whole time you're there!

La Vida Cafe exemplifies the essence of a cafe, providing a delightful experience. Their menu includes delicious options like The Abe with turkey bacon and spinach, and the Omelette enriched with an extra egg, mushrooms, roasted peppers, and tomatoes. The sandwiches are exceptional, boasting simplicity yet brimming with natural flavors.
This coffee shop is such a gem! Their coffee is always freshly brewed and the sandwiches are just as impressive, made with fresh ingredients. They provide a welcoming atmosphere to customers as well. 10/10 recommend I tried their seasonal coffee recipes and got a dubai chocolate frappe. Try it before it’s too late!

We came here after visiting the Allentown museum of art looking for a simple sit down café and we hit the jackpot! My mom had the Allentown quesadilla which was out of this world! My friend had the Eli which she describes as amazing! The coleslaw and chicken inside was flavorful. I had the Sumner panini which I added chicken inside and thats whats in the photo. It was so good I didnt take a photo of both sides. But portions were perfect! Service was super down to earth too! Definitely would come back and order again.

I'm in town with my daughter for a softball tournament and we wanted to find a great place for breakfast. We searched for the best breakfast in Allentown and La Vida Cafe came up at the top of the list. It did not disappoint. The food was amazing...we both got the Allentown breakfast quesadilla. My daughter got an iced Chai Latte which she really enjoyed. (I got a Diet Coke because I'm horribly boring). The vibe in there was very cool. They have these 2 awesome chairs by the front door that are so comfortable. I could have fallen asleep in that chair. The staff were so friendly and the service was top notch. If you're visiting Allentown (or you live here) definitely check out La Vida Cafe.

The Udder Bar is a popular spot known for its delectable ice cream desserts. One of their specialties is the ice cream sandwich made with fresh glazed donuts and a variety of ice cream flavors to choose from. They also offer unique options such as serving ice cream on top of donuts, waffles, or in tacos. The place frequently introduces new flavors and advertises daily discounts on their Facebook page.
This ice cream shop is amazing. They have such a wide selection from shakes to sundaes. The store is very clean and nicely decorated. I needed up getting the peanut butter surprise sundae, and it was really good. The base was vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and sauce on top. There were also mini chocolate chips, which gave it a nice crunch as well. I would absolute come here if you are in Allentown. Not to mention the prices are very good compared to other ice cream shops.

Cali Burrito is a Mexican eatery that offers customizable burritos and embodies a Californian vibe. This establishment has received consistent praise from multiple customers, as their burritos are substantial and satisfying. Notably featured are the San Diego fried fish tacos and the Big Sur burrito, which were both highly enjoyable. The service is prompt, with minimal wait times of just 5 minutes to receive food. Inside, there is ample seating suitable for families, attracting many individuals with young children.
Stopped in for some takeout. The restaurant has comfortable indoor seating, in a fun and relaxed vibe. Creative menu with good selections and some specials. No table service and no alcohol. The orders are placed at the counter as you enter. Prices are a little on the high side but the quality is good and good sized portions. Tried their fish tacos which were good and the order comes with two tacos and tortilla chips. They have a small self serve salsa bar for indoor or take out orders. Service is fast and friendly. Large parking lot and easy access from 222/Hamilton Blvd. We enjoyed the fish tacos.

My husband and I were just in today for lunch and were very disappointed. Our bill was $47 for the both of us. We each got a quesadilla, a drink and one order of chips and guac to share. I would not recommend at all… The chips were $5.14 and extremely stale, the guac was $10.82 and the texture was off almost paste like. This was definitely not fresh by any means. My husband said his steak (even though it was made with brisket) quesadilla wasn’t bad. My chicken quesadilla was dry yet soggy and the meat was flavorless and tough. 👎🏻 I had high hope from all of the great reviews, but we will definitely NOT be back!

What happened? I have been going to Cali Burrito for years and have always loved their tacos. I always get the Santa Barbara chicken tacos. The tacos I had tonight were not the tacos I love. The hard shell with the layer of cheese and the soft shell covering them was one of my favorite Cali Burrito signature traits. This was just 2 soft tacos so there was no crunch. The chicken was bland and flavorless. Instead of tasting like it was made on the grill, it tasted like white meat cooked in a crock pot in spiceless water. I am so disappointed.

I was here for the second time the other day with my friend and we did not have a positive experience. From the moment I got to the counter to order I did not feel welcomed by the girl at the register, she did not say hello or even acknowledge me. I ordered $32 dollars worth of food, I got a Quesadilla, Guac & Chips. She did not tell me that the chips were free, but when my friend tried to order chips she said she shouldn’t because they’re already complementary. As far as the food my friend had bones in her chicken burrito, so she got to swap it for a beef burrito, and they were very apologetic about it. My Quesadilla was so salty I could not eat it, so I asked for a refund. So I told the girl who took our order and she didn’t even want to help me, so she got someone else, did not care at all. The girl who refunded me was nice about it, she asked if I wanted to get something else to swap out but the kitchen was closing up so I didn’t want them to have to make something else. As we got boxes for our chips our cashier was again very apologetic to my friend, saying she hopes her experience didn’t turn her off that usually doesn’t happen, and told her have a good night… and does not say a word to me whatsoever or even look at me. Overall I was treated unfairly for no reason, my friend also noticed how I was treated differently as well by this employee. As someone who works in hospitality, you should never feel that way when you are going into a restaurant that you are paying to eat at, it’s unfortunate. We both won’t be back again.

Bethlehem Diner is a popular spot that offers generous portions of food, with a well-stocked soup and salad bar that can almost serve as a meal on its own. The diner is known for catering to seniors, offering them a 10% discount and providing small booths for solo diners. While some find the food slightly bland, it remains enjoyable, especially the exceptional soups at the salad bar.
I love coming here and truly appreciate the food. Today I went again, (I had the waitress with the gauges), super sweet lady and look forward to coming back. Took care of me and my grandparents. Food is always good, NOT overpriced, service was quick and even the gentleman that greets you seems personable. Large variety of different foods. Any rating below 5 stars is not valid. The only thing I do wish, is if it was open 24/7 but I get that in this area that may not go over well. Also, can you have pepper pot more often? I'll be back again soon with the family.

Chicken tenders and waffles are superb!!! Chicken salad sandwich was a very nice size and delicious. Short stack of pancakes was also very good. The staff is very friendly very helpful and right on the ball.

My son and I had brunch here today. We were seated right away, however it did take a long time for someone to come over and ask for drinks. Which is not a big deal it’s a Saturday morning very busy and I already knew what I wanted because I always get the same thing when I go out to eat. I ordered the eggs Benedict it came with fruit and a side of home fries, waitress asked if I wanted green peppers and onions with it and I am so happy I said yes! Best home fries I had in a long time! Abby was our waitress and she was so attentive. She placed extra napkins beside me. Poured my coffee without me even noticing it was half way gone. She checked on us multiple times. She was so kind to my son. Next time I think I will try the salad bar everything looked so fresh. Soup smelled great.

Worst dinner experience in a long time. We had the chicken salad sandwich and the rib eye sandwich. Both were bland. The rib eye was ordered medium well and came out like shoe leather. Everything costs extra and there’s no warning, neither in the menu nor mentioned by the server. She told us the salad bar was included with all dishes. Later when I asked to confirm she said no it’s not included with neither of our meals. There’s a $5 plate sharing fee. Refills are not free. The list goes on. When it came to getting the bill there was the wrong price on it. When I asked about it she lied and said I ordered something else entirely. I got it fixed by the manager who then proceeded to add $1.41 to the bill between showing me the total price (23.70) and running the card (25.11). All in all, take your hard earned money somewhere else. You’ll enjoy the food more and keep more of your money.

Yocco's The Hot Dog King is a popular hot dog joint with multiple locations in Lehigh Valley. It offers a simple menu that's perfect for kids, allowing you to customize your hot dog with your favorite toppings. Despite some mixed reviews about the service and atmosphere, many customers praise the food quality and quick service. Yocco's was even named the best hotdog spot in Pennsylvania by MSN, known for its crispy dogs and delicious sauce.
I’ve seen terrible reviews of this place and was honestly afraid to try it, but we did and absolutely NOTHING disappointed. Cheesesteak, hotdogs and fries ordered were all made to perfection. Fries; crispy. Warm and moist buns and a great cheesesteak. My only reason for 4 stars is I ordered the Meal Deal posted and mentioned it various times to the cook as well as the cashier and did not save the 1.50 as advertised. Why advertise it if you’re going to pretend you have no idea what the customer is talking about? Welp - I will still be back! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Such a disappointment, I've been looking forward to eating here for awhile. As I travel for a living this was in my top 10 to visit. I have had better hotdogs at a carnival. The onion rings were decent but two hours later and twice brushing my teeth i can still taste that hotdog. Absolutely one of the worst hotdogs i have ever eaten. I honestly don't know how this place is still in business much less been in business as long as they have.

Not sure on what planet this is a long of hot dogs. Ordered the hot dog "with everything on it" which is mustard onions and chili sauce. I thought we were being punked when handed these dogs. At first glance it just looks like they dipped the dog in the sauce then left it dry on. Didn't even see onion or mustard. But alas! The onion and mustard , what little bit of it was hiding underneath. Sadly I was expecting some elaborate hot dog menu after seeing the billboards claiming their title and their store signage. I mean, I should've left after seeing they're only 2.19. Five stars on getting what you pay for though. That at least held true. We at least had a good laugh for our lunch. Perogies were good though. Mrs Ts brand.

Must be a local thing. Weak dog. Barely any chili, which didn’t taste that great to begin with. Cheese dog was half a slice of cold cheese. Older staff members were nice. Younger guy not so much. Birch beer was good though. Not itching to come back.

This Yocco’s is great, and I’m sure they’ll pick up some more business after the one in Trexlertown shut down. This time I tried their chicken sandwich!

Brunch time, wait time was 0. Service - 10/10, our server Diane H. was friendly, kind, and courteous. She gave different options for food allergies and constantly assured we were doing okay. Food wise. Coffee wasn't the best, but it was okay. French toast was great. Scrambled eggs cooked to perfection. Eggs over easy was delicious. Red roasted potatoes were amazing. Hashbrowns were a bit cold but were good. The country fried steak was not what we expected, didn't taste like steak, so don't expect much. Reasonable prices. Overall, it was a good experience. Recommend coming during brunch hours.

Having craved a taste of nostalgia, I eagerly anticipated indulging in a grandmother’s pizza pie, a dish cherished from years past. However, my anticipation quickly turned to disappointment upon receiving a burnt rendition of this classic. Despite its steep price tag of $30, the overall quality fell short of expectations, compounded by an unwelcome saltiness that seemed to echo sentiments shared by other patrons. Furthermore, the lack of attention to detail, evident in the pizza’s overcooked state despite minimal activity in the establishment, only added to the sense of dissatisfaction. While the concept held promise, the execution left much to be desired.

If you need a quick slice to fill up for a trip, they got plenty of different slices that you can order. I ordered my go-to yesterday for dinner, as of this review, which was a large cheese pie, well done. They never disappoint, obviously it's not the Costco $10 pie, but this place is worth every penny. It is the best pizzeria at least in the Upper Macungie area. Staff was also super friendly, and are genuinely delighted to serve you. Great place, and I will be a regular because of how close the place is to me.
Ryan N — Google review
This place is a complete scam. Large plain pizza was $16, while large supreme pizza was $26. Since my kids only eat plain pizza, I ended up ordering half plain half supreme pizza, which at every other place, is charged for accordingly. In this place, they charged me $27. Why? Because putting ingredients on half of pizza that cost them half the cost makes it a "custom" pizza. So, buying a pizza with half of ingredients costs more than as if I bought the supreme pizza with twice the ingredients. Worse, these guys don't seem to be able to comprehend basic math or logic. The pizza itself wasn't the worst thing I ever ate, but certainly wasn't great and certainly wasn't worth the money I paid for it. The staff was disrespectful as well.

Overpriced for quality of food. 20$ for salad, 19$ for cheeseburger. Food is high tier pricing with some oddly overpriced items. Pierogis are way overpriced, almost 10$ and they are not homemade or sautéed, just bulk plain potato frozen junk. Extra salad dressing cost more than purchasing an entire bottle at a store, and almost 1$ to add a slice of tomato or a slice of lettuce to a sandwich is ridiculous. The fact that they chage additional to add ketchup, mustard or Mayonnaise to a burger was off putting. The bacon cheese fries were good, salads were good and fresh, a little light on the meat for antipasto imo. I was not a fan of the pizza, it was very dry and the cheese was not fully melted, nor the meat cooked well. It was wet and soggy from.meat juice instead of a bit greasy. Maybe some enjoy this, I don't. I had to throw out the over priced Pierogis, as they put unsanitary condiment packs mixed in with them. This is a health code violation, and the should honestly be reported for this. Condiment packs are not sanitized, or designed to be food safe. Honestly with the odd pricing, mediocre food, and the unsanitary practices, I won't eat here again. They should be reported for health violations honestly. On a side note, I see they have responded to other comments that their prices are inline with most resturants of the same type, but they definitely are not. For starters, they are at least 33% more than most. I don't mind paying higher prices, but the quality isn't there, and the extras are stupidly insane for prices. They obviously don't care about customers if their justification is the align costs with "other resturants ". Sure they are a business, and need to make money, but there is a difference between being reasonable and gouging customers.

I ordered a hot dog and a cheese steak, and both were good. The chili sauce was delicious. Even though it was an odd time, people kept coming in nonstop. It’s not hygienic for the cashier to handle money while wearing gloves and then touch everything with the same gloves. It would be better to avoid wearing gloves and just wash hands instead.

Every year when I go to Allentown for Drum Corps International, I always go to Yocco’s for lunch breaks from walking around the warm up lots. Their chili dogs are top notch, especially with cheese. I’m not sure if their pierogies are store-bought, but they’re absolutely delicious. The prices are surprisingly mind-blowing - I bought 3 chili cheese dogs for only EIGHT BUCKS!! Their service is similar to any particular fast-food restaurant - It can get a little confusing when you’re ordering something off the menu, but that’s a very minor and understandable issue. Overall, I highly recommend this hot dog spot to anyone who’s either a DCI fan or looking for a budget-friendly meal. 9.5/10

I came here to try out the new 5$ meal deal. I liked it. Service was fast and courteous. The drive through is two laned and well managed. The lot is clean and there is plenty of parking. The food tasted great and was well worth the $5. A burger, fries, nuggets and a drink. I did not check the nutrition information but I am sure that’s enough fat and calories for most people not training for the Olympics. Highly recommended.

Came to get more credits on the app and bought items from monopoly choices for game peices. No items came with a game peice.

Seems like this place is very understaffed, as well as not being organized. I was trying to give this place multiple times to prove itself. But no more, no longer going to this McDonald's, where do I begin? I'm just gonna make it short and sweet. If you want to wait 20 minutes for a cheeseburger with fries and a soda you're going to wait a little longer and they're going to mess up your order as well. Simple as that, this place needs to hire more people and be more professional.

Good was done really fast (we went at 10:30ish after leaving Dorney Park) only negative was the Dr.Pepper tasted a lil weird (metallic as well as flat).

Only have experience using their drive thur service. The lady taking the breakfast orders is the best greeter I’ve dealt with. She always sounds cheerful ( at 6am!) polite and courteous. Can’t say the same for the workers in the 2nd window. Regardless of what time, they NEVER say a greeting or anything and just stuff your bag into your hand. I don’t need a smile but at least a simple “hi”.

Repeating what everyone else has said, this is the worst McDonald's in existence. On a Saturday night, I waited 45 minutes to get my food and half the things were missing. Manager went to get my drink cups and never came back. One worker walked out. The manager told the staff to ignore the customers. Others were waiting for food for a minimum of 30 minutes. One lady was waiting for her corrected change and no one was willing to assist her. Curbside orders started walking inside since no one was brining any orders outside. Avoid at all costs.

We waited for 20 minutes at the speaker for anyone to even talk to us. We finally have someone answer us and pull around to be stuck behind a car at the first window still waiting to be helped. Finally we get to the second window for our mobile order for TWO COKES and they proceed to tell us that they don’t have it. We tried explaining to them that we changed the order to inside because we thought the speaker was broken. We couldn’t go inside bc we were already in the line and they just stared at us. We drove away and went inside to see they were just sitting on the counter. I don’t know if they are understaffed but this McDonald’s needs some serious help.

Decent tasting burger. I would have preferred crinkle cut fries with a smash burger though. Nothing special about these fries. I felt the price, although reasonably priced for a double buger, was very expensive once you add on fries at 4 dollars and then a simple fountain drink at over 3.50! That is price gouging! 20.00 for just a meal of a hamburger and fries. If you are with a family, it is gonna cost you to have a meal here. There are definitely cheaper options with just as good food around.

1st time here. This location has been open for about 2 years I think now. And I wasn't sure what to expect. I have heard different reviews but never made the move to check them out. Welp I did yesterday and let me say you can taste the difference. If I had to compare it to anything I would say it taste like a Five Guys Burger but Fresher! Great flavor, smaller but mighty! I got the truffle burger and it was great. Not to heavy and didn't make me feel like a sloppy greasy guilty filled bad dinner choice. Will definitely return. The manager touched our table and was very friendly. Oh I also paired my burger with the Mango Lemonade and it was refreshing and light. My date got the chicken sandwich and the classic burger. Tried both and same opinion- Fresh! Only downfall regular fries are a little dry. Could deff taste they were frozen and not fresh, pair with some nacho cheese could still be save-able.

Stopped in to take advantage of a coupon for a free chicken sandwich. It's been awhile since the last time I was at chick fil a and wanted to use the coupon before it expired . The service is fast and I do like their drive thru with staff taking your order in line. I ordered the chicken sandwich and I added an order of chicken tenders . I like chick fil a, but the heavy peanut oil taste is so present in all their chicken items, and since I don't come here often it clearly stands out above everything else. I guess it's their signature taste and not sure it will ever change. I realize fried foods aren't good for you but chick fil a has a very heavy peanut oil taste and why I don't eat their food often.

It was my first time at MOD Pizza and I absolutely loved it! The concept of choosing unlimited toppings is amazing—it really lets you customize your pizza just the way you like it. The staff were quick, friendly, and super helpful throughout the process. The pizza dough was delicious, and what stood out the most were the crispy, perfectly baked edges. Unlike other places where the crust is too thick or bland, this one was light, crunchy, and totally enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

So this place is absolutely delicious!! The staff is great especially MAYA!! She's is all smiles and gives super good recommendations for toppings and the pizzas themselves!! One of the best pizzas I've had personally!!

I liked that you could build your own pizza. So, in essence, you can come in and get a different tasting pie every single time. The size I chose was perfect, and I didn't get greedy and go overboard on the toppings. The sauce and cheese were well balanced. The crust was charred a bit but still maintained a good flavor. Even though it was a personal pie, my hunger was satisfied. I was still able to fold the slice. Even though this is a chain, it does have a great product.

Stopped by for lunch. It's like subway, only it's pizza. I got a mini. There were tons of toppings to choose from. I got red sauce, motzerella, cheddar, chicken, bacon, pineapple, onions, jalapeño, garlic, and bbq sauce. It was $10 which I think is a bit steep for a mini pizza but it was good so I'm not complaining. The service was nothing that stood out good nor bad. The wall is painted so pretty. I'd go back but probably not for like 6 months.

This is "fast food" cooked well! Like Subway for Pizza. Chose bread, sauce, cheese, toppings and then watch it bake fresh! Sure I can spend $20 on a take out pizza and it will taste a little better but this is more for the experience of being a part of the process. 11 for a thin crust(which was delicious and cooked crispy and perfect for me). Mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce so kept it basic. For toppings i went with roasted garlic, roaster red pepper, mushroom, and onion and it was great! Service was quick. Place was clean. A fun dining experience for a family of 4 under $70 with drinks! Unheard of!

I love coming here, most of their menu is very simple and straight-forward yet delicious, I have been ordering the Hashbrown bowl with chicken lately with a pecan-topped waffle and it just hits right! So many other good menu items like the texas patty melt which is my favorite.

I visited Waffle House for the first time and I really enjoyed the waffles. The location is very accessible from Airport Road, and it wasn’t too busy, so the service was quick. Our server was very friendly, which made the experience even better. The price is standard, around five dollars for a waffle. It might seem a bit expensive to some people, but it’s worth it for the flavor and the service. I would definitely come back.

Had a late breakfast with my kid at WH today. Cesar took our order and whatnot and he had good vibes. Unrelated: the guy behind us ordered the All Star and I’m confused- what does it mean if you order your grits well done? What does a well done waffle mean? Does it just mean crispy?? Anyway, everything was great, as usual. If you’re a snob you won’t like Waffle House do just do us all a favor and go be bougie elsewhere. I didn’t know what a few additional charges on my order ticket were and when I asked about it, nobody got mad at me. Thank you. In Waffle House We Trust, Jacqueline

As the closest Waffle House to our home, we'd been hoping for an excuse to make it out here one day and finally had the opportunity. And man was it everything we hoped it would be. Our food was well prepared, cooked super quickly, and very affordable too. We happened to (briefly) be the only patrons when we went and so all the staff were super attentive. It felt like we were being taken care of by family. Nancy, in particular, made sure we had everything we wanted and was so friendly with us throughout our visit. Looking forward to the next opportunity we have to visit a waffle house.

I visited this place twice, and the taste was exactly as I remembered — juicy, soft, and tender. The bread is very soft, and the juicy meat and pickles go perfectly together. The two grandpas are always friendly, sweet, and humorous. After your meal, I recommend visiting the Allentown Art Museum nearby. It’s a small but fascinating museum with plenty to see, and admission is free.

I have been driving past this place for a while and kept saying I gave to try it. It was worth the wait. It's a mom & pop place with a simple menu of Pennsylvania favorites. The steak sandwich was loaded with meat, topped with pickles, sauce and peppers, and well seasoned. Onion rings were crunchy and fries were crispy. Table and counter seating available. Friendly staff and classic decor, definitely a place to visit again. Business is cash only. The ATM on site charges a hefty fee for withdrawal.

A little bit pricey for what you get in my opinion. Chocolate shake was good, tasted like chocolate frosty from Wendy's 🤣. Pork sandwich was good but really spicy, I couldn't eat it. I asked before ordering if it was, because I don't eat anything spicy. They said it wasn't. That made me feel sad. The cheese steak was really good, but be aware that also it has condiments. Fries were awesome and crispy. French fries and onion rings were fried at the moment.

Exceptional flavor. Great service. 👍🏻 However, the cheesesteak itself was undersized, lacked sufficient cheese, and the bread was particularly unremarkable. 👎🏼 * Still, it seems to be the ONLY Lehigh cheesesteak with a real Umami punch! Truly quite yummy 😀

Classic diner fare! They had large portions and good special's on the menu. They served a real open faced turkey plate covered in gravy with your choice of sides. They used roasted turkey breast not cheap slice's of lunch meat. Yummy homemade soups. Ingredients tasted fresh. Friendly staff and we all left full and it didn't break the bank. Nice handicapped ramp and close by parking. Mainly booths but they did seat us at a large table with chairs when we requested one. Good choice for comfort food. Will be returning 😊

If you're in the Allentown area, a visit to the Sunrise Diner is a must! This beloved establishment has been a local favorite for decades, known for its warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re craving breakfast or lunch, you'll find an array of delicious options that feel homemade rather than typical fast food. The diner offers a delightful buffet featuring fresh salads and soups with every meal, ensuring there's something for everyone.
I’ve visited this place twice, and both times, the food was excellent—except for the ribs, which were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred something more savory. The dinner includes a nice variety of salads and soups offered in a buffet with every meal. The food tastes homemade, making it a great choice if you’re looking for a proper meal instead of fast food, all at a reasonable price. Plus, the ambience was fantastic, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience.

I have been going here all 26 years I've been alive and every time I've had a great experience, staff is knowledgeable about the menu and very accommodating to their patrons. I went just tonight and my waitress coincidentally was helping the table behind me and it was an elderly couple both with walkers, when they ordered the waitress already knew they both wanted some applesauce and fruit from the salad bar so at the end of their meal she just gave it to them...without them having to ask and without making them get up to get it themselves. That experience along with pretty much every meal I've had there has been an absolute banger is the reason I will be returning here as long as it's open.

It's been a while since I've been to the Sunrise Diner. It's been a south side staple for decades, was one of my favorite haunts. Our recent move took us away from Allentown but, we had a little trip today which brought us back to the area, and to the Sunrise Diner. We are on the road a great deal, find ourselves eating out several times a week, trying new places as often as possible, returning to favorites when we can. How lovely to see the Sunrise still taking a corner spot on 4th Street. I was happy to see the soup and salad bar remain. The salad bar not only still exists but, has expanded to include several accompanying salads like a seafood salad choice, and many topping choices. All options at the bar looked fresh. It was impressive, especially for a diner. The three large soup tureens still remain next to the salad bar. Our host took us to our seats, and shortly thereafter, our server came to our table to take our drink orders. Our server was cheery and very pleasant. I ordered an entree that came with a bowl of soup, and a trip to the salad. It's interesting to note that, the salad plates are wisely no longer located at the salad bar. The server brings a salad plate to the table. Located at the salad bar is a sign requesting to wear gloves, and a box of them placed where the plates were formerly located. The soup bowls and spoons are still located at the soup tureens. We all chose the potato soup, which was very tasty; mildly seasoned and more like a chowder rich with potatoes. My salad and toppings I chose were as fresh as they appeared, and the dressings were clearly labeled, bonus points! Often it's a guessing game. For those who enjoy a good salad bar, it would be well worth the $11.99 for the soup/salad bar. My order, a veal cutlet and mashed potatoes were both very tasty. My one friend had the haddock, the other a gyro. Both of their entrees looked delicious and both my friends reported that they were. When we lived in Allentown, I used to order the Sunrise Diner's strawberry cheesecake for my annual festivus. I spotted a cheesecake when we came in the door, wondered if it was the same? I ordered a slice. I was thrilled that it is that same delicious cheesecake I remember, best in Allentown, and best I have ever had. As we left the diner, my one friend commented that, our food was "restaurant quality " not standard diner food and I agree. From beginning to end it was an exceptional experience! One note, the diner is no longer open 24 hours as it had been previously.

Tim Hortons is a renowned Canadian coffee chain that offers a selection of high-quality, exclusive blend coffees, as well as light food options such as pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Although their timbits are delicious, some customers find the small size of the establishment to be a drawback. Additionally, there have been complaints about unhelpful cashiers who were reluctant to provide an extra cup for cream-laden coffees. However, the incredible taste of the timbits compensates for these shortcomings.
Tim Hortons is the ultimate money saver when you're at an event at the PPL center. They have hot food, sweets, coffee/tea/fountain drinks. For a hockey game we all get a chili and drink. It's a HUGE difference in $$ than getting food in the arena. The quality is good. The chili is obviously mass produced and in a bag before serving, but it's a hockey game not a 5 star restaurant. Staff is friendly but seem overwhelmed or understaffed. Line moves quickly. Clean and easily accessible from inside the PPL center.

I had a tuna sandwich and coffee. The bread was fresh but a little hard. The place was clean, and the music wasn’t too loud. However, when I placed my order, the lady named J. laughed at me, as if I was supposed to already know what was on their menu. It felt like she was trying to embarrass me. Fortunately, she was working alongside a customer-focused lady who quickly stepped in to clarify my request.

One of my favorite all time chain donuts is the maple stuffed donut from Timmy Ho's. I have had...a lot...I mean a lot of donuts in my life and this is firmly like top 3 from a chain. When I found out that I could grab some while watching some hockey at the PPL center it was an absolute game changer for me. I eventually found out that (especially in the morning call club) the PPL center has some other very good food too, but I always come back to Timmy for my fix. I can't say much for the ambiance here because I have never actually used the outside door and come during normal hours. I have had stuff here 4 times now and each time was during a hockey game so naturally the lines are long and they're running around like crazy in the back. They are definitely at least still friendly while trying to keep up with the masses.

Visited you shop inside the phantoms area literally 5 min ago. Asked for a vanilla cup in the helmet. Was asked if I wanted toppings. I said just the chocolate syrup and whip cream. The girl at the counter said it was all or nothing. I told her I didn't want the sprinkles. I cant eat them. So she said it's all or nothing cause it's to difficult to look at the receipt when she has a line of customers to figure out what customer gets what. So I left with nothing. I can't eat the sprinkles because they get under my dentures and cause a lot of pain. So I had to chose between being in pain or no ice cream today. Will never go back and will tell everyone I know. Bad business. Also my sons girlfriend was with me she ordered and had her ice cream handed to her while she paid. So don't know why mine couldn't have been done the same.

When you ask them to fry something fresh like the fries, for instance they tell you OK, but then they take the same french fries that was already sitting out and throwing them back in again and fried them even harder and they come out even darker so that’s how you know the fries weren’t fried fresh. They were just refried which I think is disgusting and this has happened to me today. This has happened to me the day before yesterday And two days before that and I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t going crazy and I wasn’t that lazy also with that mystery sauce for the Wednesday meal they claim they didn’t know which sauce was which but I found it hard to be true because in Bethlehem they have their sources separated. Any knew exactly which sauce was which I came to this Wendy’s here on Cedarcrest Boulevard store 3098 and they gave me all of the same sauce Which tastes a lot like the ghost pepper and when I brought it back cause they charge me at $.50 each sauce so that was $1.50 they didn’t wanna give me back my money because I opened it while I opened it to see if you guys gave me the right source don’t trust them whatever you do don’t go back there to them and I will never go back there to them again they’re lazy and they’re liars.

Sal's Pizza is a delightful branch of a popular pizzeria chain that serves up impressive 19-inch, 3-pound pies adorned with an array of specialty toppings. While some diners have noted minor issues like uneven cuts, the overall consensus is that the pizza is delicious—especially their pineapple and ham combination. Beyond just pizza, Sal's offers tempting calzones and mouthwatering appetizers like jalapeno poppers.
It can be a little chilly inside, but the food is delicious and service is quick. Their Sicilian pizza is genuinely fantastic and they are flexible with modifications and putting different toppings on different sides. Well worth the price and repeats well the next day or two after.

Ordered a white pizza,cheesesteak( cheese and meat only) , and a turkey hoagie. Taste of everything was mediocre, the cheesesteak had little to zero cheese( u can see the pic). Definitely a once and done place. Too expensive for something that just wasn't worth it. Had to reheat the pizza which was no biggy and a blah hoagie. UPDATE: I actually forgot I ordered from and tried again now it's even worse. We got the wrong pizza, a California chicken sandwich that didn't have mayo, lettuce or tomato, and a cheese steak again that is super blah and tasted of nothing. Don't go here ever!!! We didn't order ciclian and got one. Whoever your chef is fire them immediately. This place is horrible and I hope they go out of business!!! Waste of money!!!! You are better off eating a bread and butter sandwich. Do better you should be embarrassed by what you put out!

I recently ate here twice. It's certainly not bad food but I didn't think it was anything special either. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is cool. The pizza and garlic knots were good. I would recommend ordering the pizza. For my second visit I ordered the special Stromboli with a mix of peppers, mushrooms, sausage and pepperoni in it. It wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either. To me the dough was super bland and kinda thin. The vegetables didn't really have flavor either. The sauce is good though! Parts of the dough were still raw too. I'm not mad about that but it did really detract from an already bland Stromboli. I'd eat here again for the pizza and staff. If you're in the area and want pizza then this is a good option.

I’m so sick of inconsistency in their food . I’m there alot every week but I’m done after today the pizza was greasy , and crispy was also overcharged for my order . I know what it should cost cause I order the same almost every time I go there multiple times a week just yesterday I had a order and they gave me a extra slice of pizza I wasn’t charged for so I called them immediately and offered to come bring it back or pay for it and they said don’t worry about it even though I didn’t want it or eat it and then today I get over charged ??? What is that about to make up for yesterday come on seriously I don’t wanna deal with this business anymore yeah they in the past gave me a gift card for their mistakes but this is getting ridiculous anymore keep your gift cards I’ll take my business elsewhere anymore . Too many mistakes and the food is too inconsistent anymore overcooked and greasy pizza and just don’t wanna deal with this anymore not worth wasting my gas to return food all the time or get a few dollars back I was overcharged not worth my time or headaches no more . Good luck to anyone else that eats there

Dunkin' is a beloved chain known for its signature breakfast offerings and an extensive selection of coffee beverages. During my recent visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the inviting atmosphere and friendly service that greeted me as soon as I walked in. The remodeled space boasts a great layout with ample seating, making it an ideal spot to relax or grab a quick bite. I indulged in their holiday latte alongside some delicious donuts and a toasted bagel with cream cheese.
Went hear for a break time snack while working. I’ve been here before but not for a while. They used to have a Baskin Robins ice cream shop within it but it’s gone now. The place was remodeled and looks great. Great layout with plenty of seating. The service was pleasant and quick. We purchased a holiday latte and some donuts and a toasted bagel with cream cheese. The bagel could have been more toasted but I’ve noticed with other Dunkin Donuts franchises, the bagels are never toasted enough. I guess you have to ask for it more toasted. The latte was prepared well, the donuts good as usual. Overall a good experience.

This is the best Dunkin I've ever been too. We had a fairly large order and it was boxed up, coffees made, ready to go in 2 minutes. Very friendly staff. Iced coffee made perfectly. Excellent teamwork. Give that morning crew a raise!

One of your younger female employees needs a lesson in morale code. I witnessed her taking quarters out of shopping carts people were leaving for others over at the Aldi in the same lot. They didn’t leave the quarters to fill your pocket. They leave them in case the next person doesn’t have one. When I confronted her I asked if she was taking all the quarters and she said “I’m working.” Working. With a Dunkin’ donut shirt on. This is how your employees are representing your brand. Absolute shame on you.

The pizza here is extravagant, nearly as fine as New York’s best, and for that alone it deserves high praise. Yet, I suppose in life one must accept the ugly with the good. The food is exceptional, but the customer service is abysmal. Time and again, the curly-haired man with glasses has proven himself rude, arrogant, and smug — behavior that has no place in hospitality. It is both astonishing and regrettable that such excellent cuisine is left in the shadow of such deplorable service.

This is a wonderful place with great food. Stopped in for a take out order. This is one of those places that gives you a sense of a time gone by. With so many high tech restaurants opening up and big chains, this is a throw back to a simplier time. The restaurant is very casual with a warm and inviting feel and comfortable seating and kid friendly. A place that you can go to kick back and have a good hot dog or burger, fries, perogies, cheese steaks and other menu choices in a relaxed setting, plus they serve alcohol too unlike the other hot dog places. You can't beat a cold beer and a good burger or hot dog. The place is clean and neat with fast and friendly service. Food is cooked in front of the customer so you know the food is made fresh. We ordered mustard and kraut hot dogs, everything cheese steaks, fries and perogies. and it was all delicious. Buns are warm and fresh and cheese steak and hot dogs were great as well as the delicious hot and fresh fries and perogies. This is a great spot for a quick bite or a casual meeting place with good friends, good casual food and a cold beer. No waitress table service, but there is no need for it either. Spacious parking lot and credit cards accepted unlike the other hot dog places. Food is very good, fresh and delicious. It's a great little place. Love it.

PrimoHoagies, a Philadelphia-born counter-serve sandwich chain, is renowned for its substantial hoagies crafted on rolls sprinkled with sesame seeds. Despite some negative feedback that may originate from dissatisfied ex-employees who feel undercompensated, my recent experience ordering from here after many years proved exceptional. The sandwiches boasted abundant fresh meat and the highest quality bread compared to any other hoagie joint in the Lehigh Valley area.
The food was good. We got an Italian, chicken parnegan, and suprimo, all of them delicious. The cashier was really helpful with our order and suggested the suprimo

“I had a terrible experience at Primo Hoagies. I called in my order, and not only did it take about an hour, but when I finally got it, the order was completely wrong. They did fix the problem, but it was done with zero customer service or professionalism. On top of that, they ignored my clear instructions about the toppings and added whatever they felt like. It’s frustrating to pay for a service and be treated this way. 500k-million dollar business getting ruined by children

Hadn't been to primos in a while and was craving an old Italian and a diablo. The "old Italian" doesn't technically come in the diablo style but the guy said it was no problem and added the special spices to a regular old Italian so I got exactly what I wanted. It was Tuesday night so the place was a ghost town - got in and out in less than 5 minutes. Only thing I wondered - I thought the "primo" size was a foot long, not "8-9 inches". I could have eaten 2 of those. Will be back and probably get the "whole" size next time. Honestly - I vastly prefer primo to jersey Mike. The quality of the meat and the roll is fantastic Thanks - bill

There were 3 workers standing outside the main entrance smoking. It was not pleasing to walk through a cloud of smoke. We placed our order online and it was clearly sitting there. No matter when you place your order, pick up time is 30 minutes after you place it . We were not able to choose our pickup time. Our four hoagies were clearly made as soon as they received the order so they were sitting there for at least 20 minutes. The hot hoagies were cold and the cold hoagie was warm. They were all packed in the same bag. Very disappointed with this order and we order here a lot. Normally our hoagies are fabulous... this time they were terrible.

Worker told us, "You have to wait, there's a lot of orders ahead of you" then proceeded to let the call button time out and never said anything. When we pulled to the drive-through 20 minutes later, there was only one car ahead of us (so the "lots of orders ahead of you" was a lie). She then changed her story and told us the milkshake machine had just exploded. When we drove by the window on our way out, there was no mess. I did not appreciate being lied to multiple times. We ended up at Red Robin instead.

So today, I did a curbside pick up for a burger And fries. I decided to do curbside pick up because I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t wanna risk breathing on anyone so when I arrived at the five guys, I went to the link that was sent to my phone and I clicked on the button “I’m here” it said the food was done at 12:20. I waited in my car for 15 minutes and no one brought me my food. I ended up having to call and let them know I was outside and still the employee did not offer to bring me my food out when I selected curbside pick up when placing my order. The employee told me to come inside and get it. When I walked in, there was multiple employees standing around inside somebody could have brought me my order out. The lady basically threw the bag at me rushed me away from the counter. My order was done so after waiting all that time in the car, thinking someone would bring me the order. My food was sitting there. The food was cold. Very disappointed in the food and the service I was provided with today.

Well it's been awhile since we had five guys because it's so expensive. When we showed up it was pretty busy with orders but not too busy in the restaurant. The manager was loudly talking to the employees and pulled the cashier just before he took our order. Saying "they need to get caught up and they will be with us in a minute" after 10-15 minutes of this and being reminded "they will be right with us" we decided to leave. Dealing with a hungry 4 year old is much easier when we can go sit down. Standing at a counter for that long isn't cool. Do better......

Visited this Dunkin’ Donuts with my two sisters and had one of the worst customer service experiences. There was no line, and we only asked for a couple of minutes to decide on our order. From that moment, the older Black lady at the counter (possibly the manager) was noticeably cold, rude, and acted as if serving us was a burden. While my sister was ordering coffee for our parents, she paused briefly (about three seconds) to confirm cream and sugar preferences, and the cashier snapped, “Well, I can’t decide for you,” in an unnecessarily rude tone. When my sister tried to use a coupon, the cashier was equally abrupt. Her body language throughout was unprofessional, and when handing us our drinks, she simply placed them on the counter and walked away without a word. We left feeling unwelcome and will not be returning.

This is not Italian bruschetta first off Italian bruschetta is a cold dish the only thing that gets toasted is the bread I don't know how they manage to melt cheese over warm tomatoes and call it bruschetta.

NEVER AGAIN!!!! We used to be semi-regular customers here at Salvatore Ruffino's but after this experience, we’re DONE. This evening, I called to place an order and explained my request clearly from their own menu. The staff member then put me on hold and, not realizing I could hear, told someone else he couldn’t understand me. He wasn’t even familiar with their own flyer they had mailed out themselves, which made the whole interaction even more frustrating. When I asked what part wasn’t clear, his response was, “Don’t you think you have an accent?” The irony is he had no problem at all understanding me when it came time to take down my credit card details. On top of that, I have lived in the United States for close to 30 years, and I speak clear English. It may not have been the language I was born with, but it is the language I use at home, at work, and everywhere else. In fact, I can’t remember the last time anybody complained; it has been decades. I know the difference between me not being clear and someone simply having a problem with people who speak with accents. This is unacceptable behavior anywhere, but especially in a diverse community like Lehigh County where people of many backgrounds live and work. If you cannot respect or understand customers, then you should have trained staff who can take phone orders without mocking them. To be treated with such disrespect and then hung up on after I canceled my order was offensive and unprofessional. We will never return and will share this experience so others know how this business treats people. I hope they straighten their ways to gain trust again!

I went though the drive through August 1st I was waiting in the drive through for 45 minutes (3 people were in front of me) and when I got my food they didn’t mix my McFlurry, my fries were cold, my nuggets were stale, and they didn’t give me my sweet tea. I asked for it and the guy at the window stated that he “wasn’t going to give it to me cause they were almost out and he wanted it.” I was so confused because I paid for a large sweet tea and he didn’t want to give it to me. He then gave me a half full, sweet tea that was loaded with ice to the brim. I got barely 3 sips out of it. They wouldn’t let me have my receipt to leave a review either.

Idk why y’all always make me pull ahead. I order 2 cheeseburgers? “Please pull ahead we’ll bring it out”. I order $100 worth of food? I gotta pull ahead. I order pickup 30 minutes before picking I up in the drive through? Pull ahead. It makes no sense. Food is good but I have to always ask them to put in the sauces even if I pay for them bc they always forget. On a funny note, one time I couldn’t pull ahead when they asked because there were already 2 cars waiting and I would have blocked the drive through, so literally less than a minute later they handed me my entire order. I think they just made you pull ahead as a joke as it seriously makes no sense. The lady always kind of is smirking when she asks too. I’d love to know what’s so funny about that. “Ha ha we’re making you wait for your food that’s already ready”. Kinda weird. Food is always fresh tho but other than that 0 stars.

I placed an order on DoorDash and turns out that the order was taken by another dasher or someone else. The store refused to acknowledge THEIR mistake and redo the order and treated my dasher rude in the store. They wanted to cancel when on my end it says without refund. I had to contact support and play middleman between dasher and customer service. DO BETTER on DoorDash maybe actually monitor your orders.

i ordered food thru the app and sent my grandson to pick it up for me and they refused to give it to him because i wasn’t within a mile radius i’m at home sick and that’s why i sent him. what is the issue? the guy who i spoke to was rude and basically said he doesn’t care. won’t go back to this place again. oh and they had no problem charging my card though for the food and now i gotta wait for a refund

Mark in drive thru is great, give him more money, the other guy Eddie needs to brush up on verbal skills. I left after 2 other cars got around me waiting for him to take my order in lane 1. I won't be back here and it's the closest Store.

My fries were not fresh but were still tasty. The automated order machine did not give me an option to order water with my meal and no receipt printed when I was done. I hit the " help " button but no one came out. I had to go to the register to let them know I had an issue. They were nice but the process was overall confusing.

Messed up my order the last 2 visits. This place has been getting worse by the day. Used to be the best now they don't seem to care, and the burgers are always covered in grease. Got to the drive through at 9:08, at 9:18 they gave me a messed up order, went back in line and told them, they told me to park up and wait. It's now been 15 minutes and still no food. So I'm going on 45 minutes of waiting for 4 burgers. Disgraceful.

Wendy's is a popular fast-food burger chain that offers a delightful variety of menu items, including unique sides like chili and baked potatoes. While the food may not always arrive at the perfect temperature, it's important to remember that this is typical for fast food establishments. What stands out at Wendy's is their commitment to accuracy in orders and the presence of a Freestyle drink machine, which adds an element of fun by allowing customers to customize their beverages.
I mean the food wasn't piping hot but considering it is a fast food place I do not focus on always getting hot food so I wont put it as a negative. Our orders were correct and they have a Freestyle drink machine which also makes me happy.

Honestly the girls at the drive thru are amazing! But the food sometimes it’s really bad, I order salads and chicken sandwiches most of the time, they aren’t that bad but today 12/17/2024 they gave me this salad that I can’t even go back and return it because my lunch is just 30 min, but I can’t even eat this salad. I’ll leave a picture of how I got the salad, honestly THROW AWAY ALL THIS LETTUCE THATS BAD, why the manager let you sell this in the first place!!? And who is the manager !!??! If someone gives you a salad like this one would you eat it?? Ask yourself!? There’s really had management here

I ordered from door dash, it happened just 30 min ago or so. I got some four little over fried cold patties in my baconator. Same for fries and nuggets, everything is cold and seems to be leftovers from some else's meal. Disgusting and disappointing

My family and I have been going there for years and the service and quality has went down hill. The most recent time we were there the manager at the drive thru window was very rude and most unpleasant. We ordered double stack burgers…..pub fries and chicken nuggets for the family and I asked very nicely which I have done many times before with success at most Wendy’s that if they can give me plain liquid cheese in place of the liquid pub cheese since I have an allergy to it and to my surprise was denied by the manager saying it will mess his inventory up but as a professional business man I know that a negative item taken off an item and a positive item added creates an equal in terms of money, maybe a little inventory adjustment but it’s for a good cause also known as the customer who are the one’s that keep a place going through our purchases. I have added some pictures of the food right out the bag and it was as disappointing as the managers service. The burgers were hardened like old meat down a half hour before, the pub fries had a sliver of bacon and a sprinkle of cheese and the nuggets were over cooked as well, not very good quality since there was not anyone else in line at the time. So hopefully they will get better at this fast food restaurant because it’s in a good location. It just needs some finesse in customer service and quality fast food cooking.

By far the worst Wendy’s I have ever, ever, ever been to. The workers look missable, the lady at the register just starred at me instead of saying “can I help you”. I waited about 20 mins with the place empty. Nothing good to say at all, manager needs to be fired for letting this place be so bad.
J — Google review
The lunchtime Mgmt. on Tuesday, May 27 at this 4688 Broadway location appears corrupt. I used my phone app for a free french fry if spending at least five dollars I got two burgers which added up to over six dollars. The cashier said their system didn’t take their phone app coupon, scan, and told the manager. The two of them decided tough luck, though the error is completely on their end. That sounds corrupt that sounds like breach of service or a type of stealing or whatever the correct aspect is, but it’s despicable in principle
Keith Z — Google review
As soon as me and my family walked in, the two girls with very heavy eyeliner gave us a dirty look, one told the other girl "I don't even know what to say to that", walked to the register very slowly glaring at us. It frustrated my dad and we all walked out immediately after, will not come back to this location. We will drive the 5 extra miles where we've never been treated like that.

Terrible food. Even for fast food. Fries extremely over salted, junior bacon cheeseburger cold and thrown together. The bacon wasn't even warmed before putting it on the sandwich it was white. Just nasty all around!

If you find yourself cruising along the Pennsylvania turnpike, a delightful pit stop awaits at Roy Rogers, a fast-food chain that pays homage to the iconic American cowboy actor. This charming eatery offers a variety of burgers and other quick bites, perfect for travelers on the go. I couldn't resist trying their famous biscuits, which can be transformed into delicious sandwiches with an array of fresh toppings and veggies.
Stopped in for a quick bite at this PA turnpike exit with food court gasoline rest area and decided to order from Roy Rogers as I can get biscuits which can be converted in to sandwich as they have topping section with various veggies items !! Fries and coleslaw was added with Coke to get good calories..

We should have checked the reviews before stopping in. Much like everyone else's review, this place is a disgrace. $25 for two burnt burgers and rolls, half full, still uncooked "large" fries and baked bean soup? (see video). There were no containers for ketchup or mayonnaise. On top of everything else, the fixin's bar was just about empty. NO PICKLES!!. Avoid at all costs!
Len S — Google review
Don’t eat here you will be disappointed you will over pay for something that is super low quality. I bought a roast beef sandwich and it’s was like rubber, took it back and they were nice enough to replace it with dry chicken. $20 down the drain, the staff is shipped in from Philly I think and they really can’t get fired, don’t come here
Eric R — Google review
We took one bite of our food and could not eat any further. Quite possibly the worst food we’ve ever had in our entire lives. How do you mess up fried chicken and a cheeseburger? It tasted like it had been sitting out for 5 hours. I wish I could rate this zero stars. Stay far far away.

Poor service. Ordered extra sauce on my chicken sandwich. There was no sauce. Burger was dry and crushed.

I was very excited to try this place because I’m California we don’t have this fast food restaurant, but I totally regret it 😖. Food was cold, bad quality and expensive for what they serve. I should of read the reviews before ordering food from this place. The bacon from my burger was not well cooked, the chicken strips were cold and hard, and plus they forgot to add the fries on my order which they did charged for it. Never again this this fast food restaurant!!!
Araceli R — Google review
This is hands down the worst Roy Roger's I have ever been to. The food looked old and over cooked. The chicken was the worst I ever had. My wife got a burger and onion rings that she returned and the guy gave her new food that she still didn't approve of. I should have checked my chicken before I left like her but I took it home and was disgusted. Please watch your food at this place. They will try and sell you crap!!!!

Pizza restaurant
If you're in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and craving a delicious meal after a day at Dorney Park, look no further than Mario's Pizza Cafè. This charming eatery offers an array of Italian delights, including their standout thin crust pizza that has garnered rave reviews for its perfect blend of sauce and cheese. Diners have enjoyed everything from veal parm subs to flavorful strombolis and crispy chicken fingers with fries.
This was a beautiful looking cheese pie.The slice had a REAL good flavor of sauce and cheese. It was a great blend. I like my slices that dont flop over, and this slice didn't bend. It was also a good tasting crust. The pie was cooked well, but a tad too crusty where it's a bit too brittle and left crumbs. It was a "beefy" pie, but it was a little tiny bit chewy. Overall, this was a GREAT tasting pizza pie!
Mike R — Google review
Not a bad visit. Letters were out on the signage above door. Mozzarella Sticks were decent, however out of a bag. Marinara was eh but worked well with the sticks. Cheeseburger Sub, hot & fresh ingredients. I enjoyed the mayo, no seasoning, cheese was flavorless (probably a mozzarella). Gentleman, behind the counter was efficient, friendly.
Ray I — Google review
First off, the hours of operation are WRONG on Google. Second, they were very rude while attempting to place an order. I was told that the grill was “closed & cleaned” at 9:30 PM. On top of that, when I get my food it must be take out or we have to eat outside. Given the fact that our options were limited; we ate here. Pizza was relatively good and so was their salad. But the way you run your business and treat your customers suck. Fix your damn times and close at 9:30 if you want to close shop early. I will never eat here again and will not recommend any do it either.

We stopped here for a bite after checking in the hotel. My wife had a Philly Cheesesteak. Overall fair. The toasted bread was the highlight. I had an Italian Hoagie. Very tasty sandwich. Quick friendly service.

We have eaten pizza here a few times. We like the dough, sauce and cheese they use. Their anchovies and black olives pizza is really good. The staff is pleasant. We prefer to eat in rather than delivery. Taste so much better fresh but we have ordered delivery and it’s good. 12/14/2023 Had some contractors at the house working so we offered to buy them lunch and they chose pizza. We got lunch for us as well. We tried Marios Stromboli and pasta with white clam sauce for the first time. We also got a regular pie and some wings. It was very good.
