Our 10 Favorite Restaurants in Berks County

Andy Pepper’s
Limekiln

Andy Pepper’s is a one-of-a-kind brunch spot in the Oley Valley. Located inside the former Limekiln Post Office, the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The pancakes are huge (and delicious), the sandwiches are unique, and the restaurant has excellent options for vegans and vegetarians. Don’t leave without some seasoned chips or homemade zucchini cornbread. 

Austin’s Restaurant & Bar
West Lawn

We’ve been going to Austin’s for what feels like forever. While it’s not a BBQ spot, they have my favorite ribs in Berks County. But I also love the chicken bruschetta pasta, the pad Thai bowl and the chicken Florentine pasta. There are also plenty of options for our kids, with a kids-eat-free special every Sunday night.  

Eve’s Thai Kitchen
Shillington

The Shilllington Farmers Market has some great stands, and Eve’s is at the top of the list for me. Their pineapple fried rice is perfect, the Thai tea is delicious, and the prices and service can’t be beat. 

Fortune Cafe
Wyomissing

Fortune Cafe is our family’s go-to spot for Chinese food. I enjoy their General Tso’s chicken and sesame chicken while Julie and Jakob (our oldest) are fans of the lo mein. The lunch special – which includes an entree and eggroll for less than $10 – is one of the best deals around.

Klinger’s at the Airport
Reading

Good food. Good service. A playground for the kids. And planes coming and going throughout your meal. Klinger’s has always been a favorite of ours, but now it’s a favorite of our kids, too. The chili is great and so are the wings.

Louie’s Kitchen & Bar
Flying Hills

My favorite burgers in Berks County are the caramel burgers at Louie’s Kitchen & Bar. Caramelized bacon, caramelized onions and bacon jam aioli top an Angus beef patty in their award-winning burger. Louie’s also does excellent cheesesteaks and sandwiches.

Nonno Alby’s Brick Over Pizza
West Reading

Our favorite pizza place (at least for Julie and I) is Nonno Alby’s in West Reading. It’s the combination of the crisp crust of the brick oven and the creative toppings that make it stand out. The namesake Nonno Alby’s pizza is my favorite. It comes topped with San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, Italian sausage, sauteed rapini (broccoli rabe) and red pepper flakes for a kicking finish. Nonno Alby’s also has solid burgers, and Julie loves the simplicity of their Carpesa salad. 

Plum Creek
Bernville

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert – Plum Creek Farm Market is a great choice for any meal. At breakfast, the chipotle egg and potato bowl is a hearty, delicious start to the date. For lunch or dinner, try the pit beef and fries. Just make sure you save room for homemade soft serve. 

State Hill Craft Cocktails and Kitchen
Wyomissing

State Hill Craft Cocktails and Kitchen has become a favorite for Julie and I since we had our first date night there in late 2023. The seasonal dinner menu always features unique and delicious creations like the black truffle ravioli or salmon with riced cauliflower, sesame aioli and chili crunch.

Zaytoon Kebab & Grill
Wyomissing

Zaytoon opened in 2025 and quickly became one of our go-to spots. I usually get the lamb and rice platter (get it with the white sauce), which comes with pita and a small salad, but their falafel is also good. If you like a more authentic chai, their pink chai is a spiced tea worth trying.
