We ate at Say Cheese for the first time today. It was horrible. I got the combo, French onion soup and half a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich. The soup had burnt onion bits piled on top of it and almost no cheese to speak of. The burnt onions sat in the soup and turned it bitter. The bacon on the sandwich was Canadian bacon which is fine except it wasn’t cooked. It was cooked enough to eat but the fat was rubbery and you couldn’t even bite into it. The cheese they used was shredded (again, no issue there) but it also wasn’t melted. Why a place called Say Cheese can’t get cheese right in two separate dishes on one plate is a mystery. We won’t be going back.
I stopped here out of a whim and was very happy I did. Great food and prompt service. Waitress was a little busy and not as chatty but I understood as the place was very full. She has a job to do. I will be returning.
The restaurant is beautiful and classically decorated, there is also an outdoor dining option. They have a new menu and it is fantastic! I'm not sure why this restaurant is labeled $$ because the prices are very low. The quality of food for the listed price is a steal. If you are in West Reading, do yourself a favor and visit Say Cheese!
Absolutely amazing! I did not make a reservation, but it was way worth the wait! The food is definitely made with love, and is very seasonal! Will definitely be back!
Great cheese and the best burger I ever had.
Excellent selection of cheese and wine pairings! The wine flights were excellent and the staff was very knowledgeable.
Many different cheeses to try and buy. Has a small store with several cheeses and some specialty products like coffee pots. Restaurant serves many different cheese items. Not dairy free but will try to accommodate vegans.
Absolutely delicious! Service is always great. Always love coming here for lunch or dinner!
Brisket and Hominy was amazing. Definitely try the frickles.
We were walking by on a Sunday after church and decided to give Say Cheese a try. I had the mac and cheese and it was very good. My boyfriend had a breakfast combo and I tried a few bites and it was tasty. We were seated fairly quickly. The service was adequate and prices were reasonable. We would come back again
We'll start with the restaurant. The menu makes me mouth water, and the food backs it up. If you are lactose intolerant but don't mind torturing yourself... still bring some lactaide because there is so much cheese. The prices are reasonable, I've spent more at a chain restaurant. The market, has very good quality products. Oils, vingrets, aoli, honey...and cheese.
Love this place. We stop every time we make a trip from NYC to Pittsburgh. Great food, beer and service. Super cute interior. Clean
Say Cheese has a nice tight selection of food and well architected wine selection to match. They are even good with dealing with children.
Everything was DELICIOUS -- definitely going to visit again. Our party shared the appetizer trio (fried pickles, sweet potato fries and toasted brie) for a starter. For entrees we chose the ricotta stuffed French toast as well as the smoked salmon mac-n-cheese. All very good, and our drinks were well-mixed also. Service was a bit indifferent, but then again... Isn't that the way of things now? Overall the ambience was comfortable (tables not too crowded, space not too noisy) and we enjoyed browsing the gourmet shop on our way out. Highly recommended.
Get the Mac n cheese. I hate breadcrumbs on my Mac n cheese but I love it there. It’s perfection every time
Very yummy gourmet comfort food. And I love that they offer combination plates, I got a cup of French onion soup and 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich. It was delicious, but a little overwhelming. It's very rich food. The grocery area is cute, but a little overpriced. They had one brand of sausage that they were selling for twice what we paid for it elsewhere.
Probably the best food in all of Reading, maybe even Pennsylvania! Also the service is second to none. I would highly recommend!!!
This was our first visit but certainly will not be the last. We visited for Sunday brunch with a group of 4. Service was fantastic, prompt, cheerful and competent. The food was fresh, flavorful and properly prepared. I had their cheeseburger and for once, it was cooked to my chosen temperature the first time. My husband had the Pumpkin Brussel salad and said it was incredibly tasty and creative. The French Dip sandwich and the Veggie Raclette and Brie omelet were the other choices at the table, both fresh, flavorful and well prepared. We had desserts but were not overly enamoured of them. My choice was the Tiramisu which was sort of deconstructed and served in a brandy snifter. It was pretty dry (didn't taste any espresso, don't even think anything was soaked...) and not very sweet. Someone else had the pink champagne cake and it was also dry. I think next time we will skip dessert.
Very good food and service. Does have something for everyone. Prices more than average for comparable food, but not unexpected given the location. Worthy of trying for a lunch out to change things up.
Fresh food, healthy options, and local products. I've never been disappointed.
Loved It! The renovated building is a unique and quaint setting for dining. We sat in the side "window" area where we could enjoy the beautiful day and watch the world outdoors while remaining bug free and in air conditioning. And the food...the specialty that day was a basil, tomato, macaroni & cheese with balsamic drizzle. Incredible and portioned that I enjoyed it the next day as well. Priced appropriately, I can't wait to return.
Say Cheese is the true gem of the Reading food scene. There isn't a single misstep on the menu, the setting is cute and cozy without too much kitsche, and they offer wine flights: yeah, wine flights! Strongly recommend the Mac n cheese, a simple dish that they've knocked out of the park.
Selection is smaller than expected for a cheese shop that has quite a bit of space. But they seem very intentional about their selections, whether it's cheese, spice, oil, or stuff in their menu. The food is good and prices are okay. Just don't expect a plethora of choices here
Great choices for brunch and tastes great
Amazing twist on grilled cheese!!! Apple?! Bacon Jam?! Raclette cheese?! I am going to return just for this! Server was sweet and ambience was great.
We have been meaning to try this place for months, and it finally happened. It was even better than expected! The Spiralized Frickles were light and delicious! The Lamb burger was so flavorful. The special of the day was a breakfast tostada. The presentation was fantastic and the avocado and sour cream was fantastic. Definitely recommend! Updated: The outdoor seating is dog friendly and Bear approved. Bear gives it 5 paws.
Food is eclectic but very, very good. Service is also top notch. Nice place and open atmosphere.
Great food and the staff was very friendly
Delicious food and great services. Best grilled cheese ever
Such an amazing atmosphere for a nice dinner or some appetizers. Great selection of everything with friendly staff. All of the food is of the highest quality. I especially recommend the fried Brie. It’s such a nice environment with the lighting and the pulley system of fans, plus a lot of local foods and drinks like all of the reading brewery sodas.
My family and I have been eating at Say Cheese ever since we moved to the area but unfortunately will no longer be customers after our last two visits. The first incident, the employee behind the cheese counter was very rude to us when we dropped in to buy some cheese, however another friendly employee then stepped in for him and we just chalked it up to a bad day. Most recently, my wife and I ordered take-out and she ordered the chicken and fig sandwich, which is usually one of her favorites here. It wasn’t a cheap sandwich, considering she ordered it on gluten-free bread which is an upcharge. When we got back home, we discovered it was missing 2 of the components on it (one was the mascarpone cheese, which is funny considering the name of the establishment) and it tasted very bland and dry. She couldn’t even finish eating it and we live about 30 minutes away so it wasn’t worth it to drive back to fix her order. The meal was definitely not worth the price we paid. She called the restaurant to find out why it was missing half of the ingredients it was supposed to include and they offered us a gift card for the mistake, which was very kind of them. We gave them our address and considered the situation rectified with good customer service. However, unfortunately the gift card never arrived so we are not sure if it was just offered to appease us while we were on the phone and then forgotten about. From reading some other reviews, it seems that this type of thing has happened to others as well so make sure you double check your pick-up order before leaving the restaurant. We will truly miss going there as we have always enjoyed their food!
Great service, amazing cheese plates, and good food. I've never been disappointed.
More than just cheese! Attended a small company lunch here. Very nice modern, bistro syle restaurant. Had the "fish burger" which was out of this world! Tons of flavor, and a significant portion for the price. Looking forward to going back again soon for dinner!
Very unique place and style. It has everything and anything cheese related to cheese and even a cheese market. Anything on the menu sounds delicious ,but for dessert I recommend the Lucky Charms cheesecake. I recommend this place to cheese lovers!
Great place for lunch...unique and interesting menu. Food was delicious. My only (minor) complaint was that it seemed that they only had one server to service the entire restaurant. Otherwise, a very enjoyable experience.
Great service and food! Love the atmosphere!
Great zuchini bread sandwich and tomato bisque soup. Nice cozy feel to this restaurant. Will definately visit again!!
What a wonderful meal! The fried pickles are awesome, salads are great, and the fried brie is better than expected! I will definitely be coming back in the future. Pricing isn’t too bad either.
Great good and nice relaxed place
The food was excellent. Cooked well and brought out in a timely manner. The service was also excellent by the host and the server. They had an excellent selection of beverages. The atmosphere was also great. Not cramped or loud. Could not find anything to complain about.
Food is delicious, staff are wonderful, and Deli counter has some great cheese varieties.
They were able to fully accommodate my soy allergy! It’s one of the only places I’ve been able to find that can do that! Food was delicious and the staff were helpful and kind! Definitely coming back!
The selection here may not be as broad as some places but what the menu lacks in variety it certainly makes up for in flavor, creativity and style. The smoked salmon Mac & cheese was mind blowing and the decor was delightful. The staff made us feel as we were home amongst friends. If you ever find yourself hungry in Reading, PA I strongly suggest you give Say Cheese! a try.
This w wonderful place eat. Food is amazing
Gear food in a great environment!! Loved the filet sliders they had as a special recently for lunch!! Amazing. Salmon Mac and Cheese is a must for any first time customer.
Im employed by this place and the crew is very friendly full of smiles and very helpful
Food is very good with unique choices.
Wonderful service, tasty lunches, delicious soups!
Always great. The kids and I love the cheese plates. It's our favorite part. We've found some great cheeses. Try the fried brie. Food is great too.
First time here - great drinks food atmosphere and prices were great as well !
Finding good cheese in Berks County has been hard for us.. This place just solved our issue! Very nice perfect for a date night... Will be going back! Our server Thomas was excellent and friendly.
Good BLT, not all cheese themed.
Good service and great food.Loved the crab cake sandwich.Definitely going back to this place. Highly recommend it
Amazing place with a great staff and wonderful food
My mom and I love this place; the food is amazing and the atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. I always look forward to coming here. Great prices for what you get and great service. Definitely recommended to friends.
Some odd combinations take off a star. Just because it is cheese doesn't mean it goes. Very rich food, but tasty.
Interesting place. Great experience overall. Found my food to be delicious and the service to be great as well.
Great food; esp loved the dry rub wings!
A casual eatery with friendly, professional staff and excellent food. The cheese theme is refined and not over done.
Great brunch and service!
Delicious!! We had brunch there. It was oh so good. We’ll definitely be back to check out their dinner menu!
Wonderful and you have to get the baked brie!!
The food is excellent, service is great.
My first time there and I enjoyed my meal & hope to go back soon. Our server was very good
Grilled cheese with Tomato soup was very good. Highlight of the meal for me though was the spiral fried pickles, siracha ranch dip for pickles was perfect. Service was really good, great location, great meal for both me and my family. Definitely will go again when in town.
This is my favorite brunch spot! Great atmosphere and food. My boyfriend always wants to come here on our dates.
Teresa is great she knows her products and is so helpful & friendly.
A very nice restaurant with interesting, good food! The only downside is that our waitress was obviously paying more attention to other customers who were purchasing alcohol/more expensive food (probably so she could get a bigger tip). Our food sat in the window for a while and was lukewarm when we received it. However, it was still very good. All-in-all, good food, but the service needs work!
Great food and service. The brie was amazing. We were disappointed with the drinks. We did not finish them. Everything else was very good.
Refused service for a 2 or 4 top table because of our child and stroller. Even refused us for wait list “could not guarantee we’d be served” -whatever that means. Offered to put stroller aWay. Hostess had apparently already spoke with manager about it. Have been here plenty of times before but will never return. Awful discrimination.
Excellent selection of cheeses from around the globe. The restaurant is a popular lunch-time destination for retired women.
Great brunch! Love food and great service!
Great food selection and service. We always end up getting a flight of wine, appetizer, soup, and salad for lunch. Pumpkin bbq wings are great.
I want to like their food, but I am continually disappointed. I try something different every time I go. Never a great meal.
Super delicious food!!!
Always a reliable brunch location and a hit with my out of town friends/family. The wait staff will make good recommendations if you’re not sure what to order. It has a rustic/hip vibe and a great menu.
Nutella pancakes were amazing! the crab omelet was STUFFED with crab, which was a great surprise. definitely going back!
Always a good meal, entire table had burgers and enjoyed them!
My husband and I got the wine flight which included prosecco, moscato and pinot grigio. We also got a charcuterie board with 3 cheeses and 2 meats. Everything was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be back for more.
I love Cheese
Great waitress, menu and atmosphere. Food is also always fantastic!
I love love LOVE this place! Their lollipop lamb is delicious and it melts in your mouth when you eat it. Their cheese and meat trays are amazing and has so many small snacks and flavors to go with. Only complaint is they are a little over priced in my opinion for the small amount you get.
Service was great and the food delicious!
Very delicious salad options. Food came within a reasonable time and the staff was petty friendly as well. Great place to grab a quick bite.
Excellent ceasar salad. Very unique and delicious lamb burger. I'm not a meatloaf guy, but tried the bacon wrapped meatloaf, and it was very good. Great place to visit on a business trip.
Above average tasty. Below expected price for the quality. Very nice staff. Salads are EXCELLENT.
The brie appetizer with nuts was superb! I had a lunch combo of tomato soup and a house salad. Everything was delicious and well prepared. Servers were attentive.
This place is spectacular! The food, the atmosphere, Zoey, our waitress, EVERYTHING! Unique flavor combinations that dance on your tongue. Comfortable, casual dining areas that made me feel like I was at home. Zoey was knowledgeable about the menu and dishes recently added. I have to say Zoey is one of kind, too. She was perfect. Several times throughout our stay, she made eye contact with me from across the room to make sure we were good. If you go, see if she can be your waitress. On top of the food, atmosphere, and of course, Zoey, they have a little store in the middle of the restaurant, (think this is where the atmosphere of "home" comes into play for me) that I purchased some red raspberry butter. Excited to try that. Definitely worth the aggravation of finding a parking space.
Very good food and service. The cheese and other related items available to take out are certainly a plus. Parking can be a pain!
Trendy but cozy atmosphere. Excellently prepared dishes. I always get the scallops with medallions, it's palette is very balanced between sweet and spicy. Desert is great to. Theirs also a tiny shop with unique products which is fun and a deli like area with an assortment of cheese.
Every good opinion soup was the best reasonable prices
Best grilled cheese with bacon sandwich ever
Fantastic food. Creative chef. Also features retail section for an amazing assortment of cheeses and specialty gift items
If you love cheese. You will love this place! The food is excellent with plenty of options. Also, they sell many of the gourmet foods. I personally recommend the cheese/meat board appetizer.
Excellent. Very nice staff and the food is amazing. Do.yoirself a favor and try their homemade fig vanilla brandy. So good!!
So loud I could barely hear the ladies I was dining with- food ok, but not outstanding. I have been there a few times and find the food a little too greasy and a lot too salty.
Food was great. Service was great also! I would definitely recommend it! Will be back?
Only thing preventing the 5 star review is not removing pizza mac from the menu. Other than that, the views are very pleasant.
Service was pretty lacking drink menu was lame took FOREVER to get our food. The Lobster mac and cheese was pretty good though as well as the cheese plate.
I had a Brussel Sprout Caesar Salad(see picture). It was beautifully served and incredibly delicious. The Cheese case had a wide selection and I walked away with an Irish Guinness Cheddar. There is so much to see whether salads, entrees, cheeses and an assortment of crackers, chocolates and more. Looking forward to returning for dinner. Counter and table service were exceptional.
Great food. Fantastic service. Food came out in timely order. We ordered a combination cheese and meat plate, mac and cheese. Everything was delicious and everyone knew what they were talking about regarding the cheeses. They offer wine pairings with cheese. Amazing place. It was so filling and so worthwhile. Special thanks to our server, Robert. He was super professional and laidback all at once. Thanks for the meal!
Escape room was really fun!
Loved it. Great salads. Good service. Nice evening. We will be back.
The food and service are top-notch. Having high store shelves with products right in the middle really ruins the restaurant atmosphere. I wish they would move it completely or at least lower the shelves. Other than that, amazing.
Had dinner on 12/15/18 not good at all the star of the plate was te Brussels sprouts and parsnip purée the red snapper was so small it was rediculas. I will say the salad was great and also the cheese cake. My wife’s rare prime rib was well done.I guess everyone has a bad day even chefs. Didn’t see the owner like all the other times when I’ve been there. Oh well back to the drawing board.
Never ever had anything bad to eat....can't get enough of this place! Food is top notch!
Awesome menu great twists on things
Love the ambience. Food is great! There sweet potato fries are killer!
pricier than you would like, but good!
Say cheese has really great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and lots of gifts to take home for later. It is a bit pricey but worth it. The service is usually good but sometimes when it's crowded you get a bit forgotten.
We were there for the first time today. It was awesome! The food was fresh and delicious and our waiter was so accommodating. We will go there again! Can't wait to try the desserts!
Outstanding will eat there over and over again
Our first time here - great atmosphere, great drinks, great service GREAT FOOD ! Did i say great?
Loved the setting, service & food!!!
Fantastic charcuterie, cheese and environment. Fun place. Great service. In West Reading...who knew civilization existed there? I'll go back to this place whenever I'm in the area.
Listing claims the market restaurant is open on Wednesday until 10pm, but I’m sitting in front of this closed venue at 6:30pm on Wednesday, Aug 22. Disappointing since Google matched me to enjoy eating here as I’m traveling through for the one night. UPDATE: Apparently there was a power outage in the area and a couple businesses closed. My guess is this is what happened here, but I wish a sign in the window or other notice was available. Many other businesses were open, so it was very confusing.
wow the cheese selection and menu selection including the presentation was exceptional. Thomas our server was very friendly and incredibly accommodating. The presentation was on slate inscribed with what cheese selections are present with fresh fruit preserves and honey OMG so delicious. wine was good too and the fare menu looks fire as well!
Purchased 3 cheeses and a fig jam. The cheese clerk knew her stuff. Good variety of cheeses...friendly staff...great place
I cannot recommend this place enough the food here is incredible everything in here is delicious. All the burgers everything I love this place. Consistency is key here and their food is consistently amazing. I often visit reading from my hometown in NY and this is the first place I want to go too.
Great food and awesome service. Our server was super nice and helpful!! Definitely going back!
Went on a Saturday night with 4 people. 75% of the tables in the restaurant were open but they told us an hour wait at least due to reservations. So I guess don't show up without one.
Great food and great service. Will definitely be back.
Waited a long time to be greeted, only to be informed that the kitchen closes in 10 minutes. We left.
Always good food. However I find it not the same as when it first open . It was better back than.
Great little place. They sell some cool things like different EVO and cheeses and other things there. I had fries w strawberries , cheese and balsamic vinaigrette on them! So good! Not a fan of the Salmon burger. I may just not like them in general though? Our waitress was fantastic!
OMG!! The food here was outrageous. I had the Garlic and cheddar biscuits with chipped beef, the wife had the veggie, raclette, and brie omelet. We both agreed they were phenomenal. Definitely will be coming back.
A wonderful experience- we will definitely be back.
Great food and good price. My favorite food is the say cheese burger with Gouda and the French onion soup. The shop in the restaurant has a great selection of cheeses and more. Definitely recommend trying the red dragon cheese!
Great selection of local wine and beer, and the food is amazing! Definitely order their cheese plates, it's worth the price. Service and atmosphere is always great!
We came to this restaurant for a late lunch while traveling through Reading. The service was prompt and friendly. I had a fantastic salad (I think it was Harvest Salad) with cubed squash, frisee, a dab of pumpkin goat cheese, and other delicious things. I would definitely stop here next time I am in Reading.
Great food in a great atmosphere. Seafood mac and cheese is fabulous.
Say cheese is Soooooooo good!!! The Mac and cheese is out of this world! They have a great drink menu also! Servers are always friendly. This is a place is what (cheesy) dreams are made of!
Great variety of cheeses
The food was great and reasonably priced. Servers were nice. Service was fast. Best sweet potato fries I've ever had!
We always have great food and service! Robert is awesome and always has great suggestions if you're on the fence about what to have.
Small cozy atmosphere. Great daily specials.
I love brunch and lord knows i enjoy a good mimosa but I wasn't too excited here. Kind of pricy and not much else. Great lil kitchen shop though. Server was very friendly and attentive.
Almost to pretty to eat. The food was delicious
This place is always 100%
Beautiful place to have a meal or a meeting. Oh and the food is great.
Was a very nice place food was a great Caesar salad was so fresh service was good
Delicious food and they are always switching up the menu which gives you a different (but good) experience every time!
Great atmosphere and food.
Cute little place with a wide variety of....you guessed it cheese containing dishes. I had the burger it was decent, but a little pricey
Cool little joint ...nice local beer and wine choices as well as local cheeses!
Consistently good food & service everytime I go there. Seasonal specials & creative dishes keep it interesting. Just an FYI,.the veggie burger is like mush so its impossible to eat like a sandwich. Its flavorful, but expect to eat it with a fork open face style. Decor is nice & the shop inside sells gourmet jams & fun kitchen gadgets.
Did not eat at the restaurant looks nice, did by cheese in the store part. Very good.
Great place for a date! (Or if you're like my mom and I, a Mother/Daughter day!) Everything involves cheese! (Except for the drinks, don't worry). A make your own cheese plater is a great choice and they even bring it to you on a stone slab! Outdoor eating (weather permitting) is a great choice and ANIMAL LOVERS ATTENTION PLEASE! Outside they have bowls of water for pets! So you can be walking your dog, sit down for lunch outside, and have them enjoy the stop with you!
What a find! Great food, great cocktails, decent tap, and best of all it's authenticly local: service, ingredients, menu, and vibe. West Reading is like Manayunk, only better!
I've had better boxed Mac n cheese. Service was fast and efficient. Doesn't seem family friendly though as they offer no change station in either restroom. Would probably visit again as last resort or with a group outing
Great cheese board! Also the burger is out of this world.
Absolutely amazing. Best burger I've ever had in my life. Wish I didn't live so far. This spot would be a regular for me
Awesome food, terrible service, they've managed to screw up pick up orders the past 3 times now, if there food wasn't so good I'd just go somewhere else
One of the best places to grab a bite! Make sure to try that raspberry sauce with the sweet potatoe fries
Service was very good...but food over priced & not very good...
Service was great, food was good. If someone suggests to go here, I would not complain but I wouldn't seek it out. I had the Saycheeseburger and my wife had the brisket. Both were good and I would order again, just not anything over the top wonderful and that's ok.
Love this restaurant, we ate outside last time and loved it. The food is fantastic! Love the atmosphere!
Good restaurant and smell like cheese
