Reading or Wyomissing area Nesties..can you recommend a restaurant for tomorrow night?

Nothing special, we are coming to town to scout the area, look at homes, etc.  We have no idea what's there, so I am looking for ideas.

Re: Reading or Wyomissing area Nesties..can you recommend a restaurant for tomorrow night?

  • Not sure if you're looking for chain or what, but when we go to Wyomissing, I like to eat at Olive Garden.  It's right by all the shopping.  There are a few townhouse communities in Wyomissing right by all the shopping, I'd love to live there!
  • Not sure what you like or looking for but we like Buca Di Beppo's and Uno's isn't bad if you want something like TGIFridays or something casual to that nature. There is also a restaurant bar we have eaten at that is at the airport. Oh and Austin's is near there too which is owned by the same people as JB Dawson's.
  • The short version is I would check out Third and Spruce Cafe or the Pike Cafe both in West Reading.  There are a lot of other places in the area that are good too, so here goes:

    Wyomissing has most of the major chain restaurants between the mall area and the Target shopping center area.  You can't go wrong with any of those. I saw Austin's was mentioned, and that's good.  Toscani is an Italian place right by Austin's and they are awesome.  I would go there for Italian before Olive Garden or Buca, but that's just my preference :)  Arner's is good.  Panda Heaven is good Chinese/Japanese/Sushi and so is Hibachi.  If you feel like venturing into downtown Reading, The Peanut Bar and The Ugly Oyster are local favorites. Both are on Penn Street.  One of my favorites in the city is Canal Street Pub.  If you like Indian food, Aashiyana on 4th Street is great. 

    If you want to stay away from Reading, but still want places with local flair, check out West Reading.  It's actually an entirely different town and it's really nice.  I love West Reading.  Third and Spruce Cafe and the Pike Cafe that I mentioned above are both in West Reading. I've never actually been to the Pike Cafe before, but I hear it's good.  I really like Third and Spruce.  It's a good casual type place.

    Good luck with the house hunt!!
     

    **Edit**  I forgot to mention Zoup!!   Kind of like a Panera Bread, but they specialize in soups.  Really good!  It's in the Shoppes at Wyomissing (fancy new shopping center near the Berkshire Mall).

  • Malibooz at the Reading Airport is fun, and you get to watch planes take off and land while you eat!

  • Thanks Kate! I forgot that you would know what that is called! Curt took us there last yr.

    Pookie- that Italian restaurant sounds good- we'll have to try that out!

    Toscani is great!  It's owned by the same people who own Viva.  I'm a little embarrassed to say I've never heard of Malibooz, but now I want to check it out!

  • Did Viva close? We never tried it and wanted to. I couldn't tell when I went to the VF outlets the other week.
  • Viva is supposed to reopen but they're doing major renovations right now. There's a sign outside that says they are closed until the 3rd quarter of 2009.  Supposedly they're building condos and shops in the building.
