Our waiter was amazing He checked on all of the food our gluten sensitive daughter picked. Made sure we had what we needed at all times. The food was amazing as well !excellent food,excellent service !!
Austin's is my go to. The best ribs in town!
I enjoyed the food very much. I had the crabcake and baby back ribs meal. The tartar sauce was delicious!! The garlic potatoes was good too. Loved the crabcake too. The hostesses were very pleasant and professional. I will be back!
From the food to the impeccable customer service - my family and I highly recommend this restaurant!! The manager Tammy and waitress Melissa were awesome! $25 was taken off our bill for the wait time which we thought was perfectly acceptable since it was a busy Friday night. We didn’t even complain but this was just something that was done because the time must have exceeded their standards. The food was awesome as well - very fresh! Best restaurant we had dinner at in a very long time. Thank you!!!
Terrific food and service - large portions, even at lunch.
The service and food was excellent Great first time experience....
Great food and service
The waiter we had was not very good. He did not pay attention to what he was doing. We also had another waiter to fill in for ours and he was not good either. He talked so fast you had no idea what he was saying. When you go to a restaurant you should have one person taking care of you. At Austins there are always different people coming to your table not very professional. We then had a third person come to the table. The food was ok I think Austins needs some work.
One of the best restaurants in Berks if you have food allergies (and excellent overall, even if you don't). They take allergies VERY seriously, and you don't have to worry about cross-contamination.
Every year in May we come here for a family dinner and it is amazing every single time. From the drinks to the food
Great food, excellent service and didnt break the bank. Would recommend and will go again!
Excellent service, food and drinks were okay. Maybe a little pricey.
Bethany was a great Server Great food next time i need to meet the Chef and thank the. Property
Great service, food was excellent! Not a fan of the 4 cheese Mac and cheese was a little runny and not allot of flavor but everything else was great so no biggie. I wish there was a little more light but I think that is the atmosphere they must be going for. Definitely would still go back!
Normally good food and good service. This trip I got a chopped salad of some kind. It had almost no lettuce or greens of any kind. Just a bunch of ground up other things, I'm not sure exactly what. Baked potato soup is always good. Atmosphere is nice, but the place is a bit dark.
Casual American dining or eat at the bar. The menu has lots of choices for meat, seafood, or vegetarian plates. The draft beer selections include seasonal favorites and the mixed drinks are consistently excellent.
Service was good, it's been better but also worse waitress was good, just mixed up with our seating, requested not to sit at bar and that's where they wanted to put us for our reservation..There was a issue with my food, but it was fixed to a point.. kinda bad finding things that dont belong in your food in your food. I expect alot more from this place, they kind of made it like it was no big deal but to me it was and honestly I just didnt want to make a scene.. I know things happen.. I'll be back in due time..
Nice place and good food
Very good food. Nice variety of items. A bit dark for us older folks but service was great.
The ribs are one of my favorites
Love the food especially the ribs.
Celebrated my birthday dinner with another couple. Waiter brought an ice cream sundae with a lit sparkler fire cracker on top. Hilarious!!
Wish I could give 4.5 stars, but anyway. It's a Saturday night and we are told 60mins for a table for 2. It was crowded and we expected a wait, totally fine. We had a few beers at the bar which was nice, bar tenders and the other people at the bar were all nice and friendly. We we're sat right around the 60 mins we were told, service was prompt. The food was very very good. We both wanted a juicy flavorful steak with some fresh veggies and It went beyond our expectations. Thank you Austin's and staff for a great dinner out.
Food and service are fantastic and at decent prices. Matt our server was the best!
The chicken enchilada meal was incredible!! Our server Beth was polite, knowable, and friendly!
This place never let's me down. Great food with service to match it. I really like the atmosphere.
Awesome food and great staff, the lighting is a tad too dark and the selection of food is too large.
No words can describe the quality of this restaurant. Go see for yourself.
One of my favorite restaurants in Berks county. Always attentive and food is terrific.
I came here for a work lunch and I ordered the grilled cheese with meatballs. It was delicious! Also, I love the sweet butter that comes with the loaf of bread!
Best crabcakes ever
Great dinner tonight..for the first time in my lifetime I ordered grilled salmon. It was definitely different from what I am used to. I would order it again.
Always good!
The meat was not that great. But the restaurant's atmosphere is very nice.
Pretty good ribs... Great service
Great as ever
I have been there several times over the past 10 years. Excellent service and food. It's sister Restraunt in Park City Mall is Dawson's and has the same reputation. Keep up your high standards and we hope both Restraunts are around for along time.
I came here for lunch for the first time with my mom and we had a great experience. Jordan was our server and he was awesome! The food was absolutely delicious and very large portions. We had a Bloody Mary and they were great! We loved that the lighting was dim. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Great food wish they had more options for vegans
consistently good food and wait staff is always on point
Best place I ate in awhile. Salmon was perfect along with asparagus and mashed cauliflower. My son loved his chicken tenders and wings. Not to mention a perfect mojito
Excellent food, I usually get a steak and Austin's never disappoints! Juicy and succulent cuts cooked to perfection...any way you like. Usually theres a wait at dinner time but even a 45 min to an hour wait is worth it. I usually eat here with my family once a month. Service with a smile and the manager is always available if needed, and usually stop by to say hi and make sure everything is fine.
Very friendly and courteous staff. Excellent dinner. Excellent atmosphere. We would recommend your establishment to others. Thank you for a memorable evening for my husband and myself on our anniversary.
We went for team dinner and it was nice experience. We've reserved the table at 6PM and had the dinner till 8PM. The staff were so patient and polite. The service was fantastic. The noted what ever we order and deliver to the same person. Food tasted good and the complimentary bread was awesome and must try. All the appetizers were good. They combined the tables as we were almost 20 people, so the chairs were arrangement was little congested. The other tables were with sofa type. Cocktails with alcohol and without alcohol were available and they were good. Non alcoholic cocktails will come always with transparent straw. That is the indicator. All the pasta varieties were so good. The staff were cleaning the plates then and there to make room on tables for other items. Any remaining food can take to home and they provide the bags as well. We should say To Go and not the parcel. For Covers we should ask like Bags. People in US don't use Parcel and Cover words in US.
Been going to this restaurant for years since in opened. Wait times are normal. Staff is always nice, helpful and respectful. Food is always great. As simple as it sounds, their chicken fingers and fries are the best I've ever had. For birthday's they stick a flare in a cake, very flashy and cool. Price isn't bad either.
Well we gave it one more try and our server Nick made all the difference. Last time I gave it 2 stars and had nothing nice to say. Thanks Nick for a much better experience this time!
Steak was not very tender, a Maui ribeye. Service was good, prices a bit high for the quality
We have always liked Austins... but.lately it seems they have fundamental issues with execution. Last 2 visits I have tried the cajun ribeye at medium and it came out cold. Literally cold. After the send.back they came.back well done. I will be avoiding steak there for a while. Everything else seemed to be ok. Pricing of side salad with a entre is ridiculous as well.
All I can say is, I wasn't impressed Service was slow, my water glass was never refilled despite asking. The food was good but the portions were on the smaller side It was rather loud, I wasn't expecting that.
It's a great place to dine, very family oriented with really good food and fair prices.
the restaurant was super warm/hot very uncomfortable for the customers so I can only imagine how the service staff felt. most menu items have garlic, either powder or fresh, very limited for someone with a garlic allergy. service was decent, forgot to place our to go order. one person in party had to stay and wait.
Great atmosphere good food decent price
I'm never disappointed at Austin's. Their entries are reasonably priced and service staff are great.
Nothing to hate..love this place! My wife has a gluten allergy and this place has so many great choices! The FRIES are some of the BEST shoestring fries you can find. The appetizer wings that are sweet and tangy are some of the absolute best anywhere! Only thing I had on the menu I did not like was there spicy meatball grilled cheese. Sundays kids eat free! Go go go to this place.
Great food and great service! Never a disappointment.
Best baby back ribs ever! I don't even bother getting ribs anywhere else
Delicious but sometimes hosts don't tell servers they have tables and you wait for quite sometime until they notice.
The food was amazing and price was about avg
My favorite place to go every year for my birthday. It's definitely worth the 2 hour drive to get there. Amazing food, service & atmosphere!
Very good!! Fast service definitely would come again
Delicious food, clean restaurant, waitress was very nice and attentive. Reasonable prices
Awesome Food! Very Nice Staff! And if you leave your phone due to food coma, staff will take care of it until you return. Thank you
Food was good, service was good but considering we made a reservation for 7 well in advance, we were seated at a table usually for 4. It was very uncomfortable and one of us was seated at the end making it difficult for anyone walking past our table. C'mon, the restaurant wasn't that crowded at 11:30!
Great food, the salmon literally melted in my mouth
Decided to try someplace new and decided on Austins. Never been here before. Started off with the lobster bisque and I must say that was the best I've ever had! Delicious! My disappointment was with the waitress (40ish, long brown hair). Had to call her over when we needed another drink, she never asked how our food was or if we needed anything during our dinner, and we waited quite sometime for our check and then again for her to retrieve the payment. As for the steaks, I can say we've had better. My filet mignon was a bit chewy and my husband said his wasn't seasoned well for ordering the cajun seasoned steak. I can't say I'll never go back, but I'll wait a while. Just a bit disappointed.
Good atmosphere. The food was pretty good!
Go there frequently! Recently went there with my friend Sharon! Awesome food!
As usual the food was GREAT, and the service EXCELLENT. THANK YOU AUSTIN'S!
I had a wonderful lunch here. The seasonal menu looks great! The burger was delicious!
Great food respectable wait time and the host was great and the prices were great
Very good food with very fast service. The restaurant was full and our 7 top still got our food quickly.
I came here once to celebrate my anniversary it is pricey but super worth it we will def. Go back!!!
Very good food we had an excellent waiter the place was a little noisy for me
My chicken was under cooked. The kids pizza was unlike but all of us. Child ate just French fries. Will not visit this place again.
We go to Austin's very frequently. The food and service is always top notch. As far as I'm concerned their ribs are the best and most tender I've ever had.
I have been frequenting here for years. I have never had a bad meal or experience. Top notch! Love the lighting and intimacy of the place.
Amazing place. Good food good atmosphere our waiter Adam was super. First time, we are from the Lancaster area meeting family there from Reading .Worth making the trip. Kudoos
Tasty menu offerings, good selection of wine and beer. This place does get annoyingly crowded on weekends - I prefer to go during the week. Service is generally good.
I liked it, food was very decent and service was nice
The food is excellent .The servers are attentive.I think it is one of the best restaurants in the area.
Great food at reasonable prices. Every time I have been here I have had excellent service. The wait staff is attentive, but not intrusive. The food is very good for the price. Austin's is primarily a steakhouse, but the fish is also quite good. If the lobster bisque is on the menu, it's worth the splurge. Not only is it delicious, but it has a lot of lobster meat. The last time I was here, I had the filet oscar, which was cooked exactly as I like, and had a generous portion of crab meat. My husband had the salmon and said that it was quite good. Austin's has a good sele tion of side dished as well, to suit most any taste. There is also a seasonal menu with some appealing selections. There's something for everyone, and even the kids will be happy. There is also a great bar here, and the bartenders are up to date on the latest cocktails. Austin's is often busy, and you may need to wait for a table. I was there on a Friday, and the wait was less than 20 minutes. It can be a bit noisy, especially on the weekend, but I have necer found it to be so noisy that it affected my dining experience. Austin's is a great choice for a nice dinner out.
Terrific ribs. Best of anywhere.
We highly recommend this restaurant to all of our clients who travel to this area and looking for a great place for dinner. My daughter also enjoyed celebrating her birthday there and it was a fun time.
We were there for a work sponsored holiday luncheon. Was slightly disappointing they had to seat us at 2 tables. Food was tasty and well presented. The server was lackluster, she was not focused and seemed to have an attitude.
Great service, good food
Good food and attentive service
We went on a busy Saturday before Mother's day without reservations we were given an estimated time which was accurate. Service was quick despite the crowd. One of orders was incorrect, however it was quickly remedied with the appropriate order. We have eaten here several times and enjoy the food!
Good food. Good service. Small portions. Nice place for dinner.
I love the restaurant, service and food, but when I order a meal, I barely get any fries on the side. Everytime I go there I have to ask for an extra side of fries
Very good food was too dark and had a hard time talking with my group
Excellent service, love their meaty baked beans!
We eat at Austin’s at least once a month and we are never disappointed! The only item I wish they would consider changing on the menu is their french fries to a thicker cut or steak fries as they currently serve a very thin cut shoestring.
Mother's Day crowded and the staff and food was efficient, friendly, and delicious.
Service is exemplary. Good always delicious. Their baby back ribs are great. Crab Alfredo is filling and tasty. We are allways very happy dining here.
Great atmosphere, great service & tasty food.
Great philosophy for service. Any one can help you out. Consistent preparation. Nice size portions. Pleasant atmosphere. We enjoy the potato soup, ribs, seared tuna and pasta saute.
Only 4 because 5 is reserved for a very small group but this is easily a 4.5 star place in this local area. Very happy with everything, food, service and all. Even the price. Dinner for two, crab cakes, strip steak with mushrooms and onions, asparagus, bruchetta appetizer and two drinks... 78 bucks before tip? A bargain!
Coffee was excellent. Burger was delicious! As usual, a very good lunch. Now,do something about the lighting,too dark!
Love this place! The lobster bisque is amazing, the ribs are the best I’ve ever had and the service is top notch. Thank you
Always consistently good food and friendly staff.
Rarely if ever do we have a bad experience at Austin’s but last evening the service was subpar. Our server was pleasant but unattentive. Drinks were ordered twice and they just didn’t come. Finally flagged down another floating individual and then it seemed like it took forever. Never checked back to see how our meals were, never brought water to the table. Fortunately the food was excellent but I just felt like we were a number not a customer. Not a home warm feeling at all. Sure good food is important but so is the experience.
We go here every year for my birthday, and last year we had tried the burgers, and absolutely loved them. So, naturally we went straight for the burgers this time. They tasted great as usual. However, two people in our party had shared a burger (medium-well) and the very same night the both of them had stomache pains and such symptoms of food poisoning. Sure, it could be a coincidence, but this went all night and into today. It is highly unlikely they got the stomach bug the same night in just an hour or so after eating. So, unfortunately we are concluding that the burger they shared gave them food poisoning and unfortunately will not be coming back. This is a shame as the food is so good and the service is always great. :(
Awesome food, terrific service!
If you are looking for a great place to impress a date or looking for a place that the whole family can enjoy Austin's the restaurant for you. The food is always flavorful and delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy and romantic. Our server was Stephanie and she really heightened our wonderful experience here. She was very friendly.
I can't say enough good things, I'm never disappointed! I LOVE their pasta and shrimp dish except I substitute it with chicken. They're salads are super yummy as well as they're house dressing. My number one choice restaurant! Now I'm hungry.....damn it
Wonderful food in generous servings. Delicious lobster bisque. Mixed seafood (lobster, scallops, shrimp) on herb creamed pasta was fabulous. Service is attentive without being bothersome. Staff is well trained and everything runs very smoothly. Call for a reservation on busy evenings or you will have a long wait.
Great atmosphere with low lighting. The menu doesn't change often but it's really good so it doesn't need to. Fresh premise made soups daily
Excellent food, large portions (took 2 large leftover boxes home),fantastic waitress, nice atmosphere. More pricey than we usually do, but you get what you pay for. Will definitely go back again.
Great place, and great food
First time there everything was great.
Always a pleasure coming to Austins. Better than Olive Garden or any other steak house. In love with their Cajun Salmon, Brushetta Pasta & their Alfredo. Our server Jeri E was fantastic and really made our experience enjoyable !
Service was tremendous. Everything ordered from drinks to the meal came promptly, professionally hot and done to order. Had brunch. 5 of us had different items. Tasted around the table. Would order any of these items next trip. All very good.
One of the smaller American Menu Upscale chains...my Ahi Tuna was previously prepared but a nice classy bar area
Great food,quick service. Always a pleasure
We ate here tonight. Absolutely horrible service. Food was great, but lack of service made us not want to come back. Very disappointing.
Amazing food and bar
The food is really good! Try the lobster bisque it's really good!
I went to Austin's Restaurant on June 28,2019 with some of my sister's and I ordered a steak cheese with onions egg roll. WOW! It was delicious and the portion was so big that they slice it in 6 large pieces. But that is not all, it comes with horseradish creamy sauce, it really gives the roll a real kick. And to really enjoy it so much more I ordered a nice cold glass of BLUE Moon beer with a slice of orange on the side. JUST LOVELY! IT was so good, I went back today with my daughter and we both ordered the same thing, Yes the steak and cheese egg roll, with a nice cold glass of BLUE Moon beer with a slice of orange on the side. Take it from me, you will love it and the atmosphere was very nice and the service was great and very friendly.
Server Adam was awesome... the food was incredible... from the moment me and my wife walked in the door the food smelt amazing... first time here will not be our last ...everything we ordered tasted great from drinks to salad to soup to entrees!!!!
You have to try the straight Brandy sours
Good food good service.
Always enjoy the excellent food, favorites are the ribs and roasted vegetable pasta, and friendly service!
Very nice place. Food and drink was good.
Food and service were awesome. Waitress was very nice and extremely helpful.
Food was amazing as always. Had a full rack of ribs and the crab Alfredo
Very good food and great service! Staff works together to serve all the tables.
We we're looking forward to enjoying a nice dinner at Austin, we we're the told the wait is 30-40 minutes but it was moving quicker and we should be seated sooner. after 40 minutes we noticed parties of 2 were getting seated that arrived after we did. My husband asked why''' .. he gave his name and the mgr. looked at the sheet and his name was even written down. we were totally upset and the mgr. said we would be next. i said forget it we will eat somewhere else.
Excellent food and service! Wonderful place for a drink out, meet up with friends or a family dinner.
Their lobster bisque was the best I have ever EVER tasted, followed by a half club sandwich. A delightful lunch as wonderful than my
Not your typical steakhouse. Amazing food and always pleasant service with a dim lit atmosphere! Seems like everyone that comes here enjoys great conversations and food! Love it here!
Excellent food, atmosphere and service
I am usually very happy here but tonight I was disappointed. I ordered take out tonight & was told 15-20 minutes, I waited 37 minutes. I understand it was busy, but the manager taking my order should've known that and told me the appropriate wait time. On top of this I get home and my order was wrong. I did call and was told they would send me a "be our guest" card. Which was a nice gesture, but didn't satisfy my starving son.
The food is always good. Steaks always done to my specifics, and friendly staff. When celebrating a birthday, you are never rushed out of your seats for the next customer. Always a great time.!
Great service... Yummy appetizers... And enjoyed happy hour!!!
Great food. Good service.
Very good food and staff as well
Awesome ribs. Love the shoestring fries also.
We go here for work lumches from time to time. Great food, but be careful if you have any food allergies. I asked for chicken alfredo instead of their crab alfredo because I'm allergic to shellfish. I was picking through my meal and found crab.
Food is good. Crab fettuccini alfredo is a good choice if you like blue crab. Ranch dressing is laced with dijon mustard if you're expecting ranch.
Tonight, May 12, 2019 (Mother's Day), we took mom out to eat. All together there were 11 of us in our party. Our server, #167 Olivia P did an absolutely AMAZING job serving us! She was very friendly and personable, while still remaining professional. She always came to the table with a smile. For us being such a large party, she handled it like a true pro! I got the Grilled Salmon Oscar. It was AMAZING!!! Not a single one of us had a complaint about the taste, temperature, or serving size of the food. Everything was delicious!
Wanted to apply for a job here and learned that they pay less than $3 an hour. If you go here tip WAY more than 20%. They can get away with it because they are a small business. Places on Penn Avenue (small businesses, great food and service) pay minimum wage or higher. Yet again, TIP MORE THAN 20%!!! Tip like 50% please, they make next to nothing.
I frequent here and ha e never been upset. There is a reason this pkace has been around forever.
Always a great visit. Food is amazing, the lobster bisque and baked potato soups are amazing!! Went on a Monday and the restaurant was full! All but needed to call ahead for a seat. Packed on a rainy Monday they must be doing something right!!
Delicious food, very generous portions, and reasonably priced. The Oreo cheesecake is the best cheesecake I have ever eaten!
My favorite restaurant of all time. Nothing's beats this place. Every meal I have eaten is always delicious. My go to are the ribs, tenders, Filet, Garlic mashed, creamed spinach and even their tenders salad are amazing.
Grrrrreat food, excellent service in an elegant, relaxed atmosphere. My Thai beef salad was exactly what I hungered for and it delivered!
Fantastic food and service. I wish I lived in the area to come to this restaurant more!
We have eaten at almost every reataurant around Greater Berks Co. Austin's continues to be the most consistently awesome restaurant in the area, in our opinion. The atmosphere is great. It's kind of dark at first, but your eyes adjust and then the lighting is lovely, not garish like the next door Sports Bar. The service is outstanding. Everyone works together and my water glass is never more than half empty. Now, the food...it's wonderful. The pasta dishes are delicious, fresh, and creamy. The burgers are huge and to die for. The chicken & ribs is delicious. The shoestring fries - my God. I also love the drink menu so I always try something new and interesting. We really love it there and I truly appreciate their consistency with being our favorite weeknight or date night dinner.
This is one of our favorite restaurants. Like everywhere the overall value has gone down hill. It is getting hard for us to afford it very often.
Food was great, service was quick. I definitely recommend the baked potato soup. I joined my party late and they had me set up with for so I was able to finish my meal with my party.
Went here for brunch for the first time. Sat in a bar booth and had an awesome waiter Stephanie who chatted with us for awhile. Had AMAZING $5 mimosas! The food was out of this world also. Had omelette flatbread and my boyfriend had garlic chicken and biscuits. We will definitely be back. Wish they had beer or mimosa pitchers but besides that everything was great.
My family & I had went to eat at Austins & had a great time, appetizers were great, drinks were great, our waitress was beyond nice and kept making sure we were alright, enjoying our food, + needed refills. The overall experience was very very nice, there wasn’t a thing wrong! But, then we ordered ribs for home because we were so impressed by the food, in dim lighting they looked amazing in our to go box! Once we get home, we go to eat the ribs and see little fibers IN/ON the ribs, mostly in the sauce/under the sauce almost as if they were sat/wiped on a towel before hand and the ribs were covered in these little hair/fibers. The situation was highly disappointing, & this mishap was a major let down considering the price for the ribs. I’m sure it was a mistake someone had made but like I said for that price nothing should be wrong with our food, something as gross as picking little hairs from our food + not being able to eat it at all.
It was my first time here it was a business lunch and the food was great. since I was there for business I don't know if I'll be back but if I'm in the Redding area I do plan to try to return to Austin's.
Visit every few months and I am very pleased with the service every time! The food is always amazing. One of the best restaurants around.
Place is great. I enjoy their food every time I come here. You can tell this is not a chain restaurant. Attention to detail on service and quality of food is excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tasty tender steak cooked just right,friendly service.
Good food and service.
My Apple Walnut salad was fantastic! Wish it wasn't so dark in there though. I couldn't see the people who were sitting across from me!
