Walked in with family waited 5 mins to be seated.. No one approached me not one Waitress to say, some one will be with you. Nothing, I had to approach the bar. Asked the girl. Nicely, I was wonder if you can fit 5 ppl at a table. Because it was some what packed with ppl.. She, said the manager will be with you. So, I simply asked wheres he he at. Ill ask him. Again still nice voice.. She, through attitude. And said I was gonna get him.. So, I said Im sorry I I was just gonna go myself . I can see you were busy with this other person.. Which is true she was. Trying to be cool about. Letting her work. Then was seated. And our waiter. Took 10 mins to get to us. Screwed up the drink order. Then screwed up the chicken wing order. And showed signs of, annoyins to my preganet sister in law. When she simply, she didnt like anything on the menu. No tip! For you buddy!

They recently changed their menu some of it still the same but all the prices have gone up and their portions have gone down. They got rid of a lot of the specials, for example the Monday and Tuesday half-off wings. Which they say their bone-in wings are now bigger but from experience I can say that bone out wings are very small now. It just sucks that Im paying expensive Diner prices at a sports bar. The raspberry iced tea alone was almost $3...

Not a good time; quite unexpected. Ordered beer, appetizer and dinner. 15 minutes no beverage. Asked the bartender; she did have a ticket? As if she couldnt serve...no. Waiter returned; first day on job....OK. waited again no beverage Approached bartender...oh, they must come from outside bar; seems she could have worked something out. My husband said "lets go!" We left hungry and thirsty!!!

When the waitress showed up, she did a good job. The food tasted good, but was very scarce for the money. The $.50 wings were the size of my finger tip and didnt taste that good. Chili was good, but was gone in one spoonful. We went on a Friday night around 6pm. There were more people at the bar than in the restaurant. STAY AWAY!!! Dont waste your time or money.

The place was empty and the drinks sucked. No more karaoke either. I was hoping for a fun night out but instead i got a bartender who was making it VERY obvious she wanted to leave early. Ordered a mind eraser and i want to erase it from my mind. It was not made properly. Save urself a trip and some cash and go elsewhere. New management clearly sucks.

Since under new mgmt, food actually got better. The wings ACTUALLY look like wings. Lol my daughter is a waitress there and we were only going to support her BUT when we got our food it was actually good. Now, we wished they went back to how they used to be with their pricing on their wings but my bill for 2 adults and 1 child wasnt too bad.

Always was allowed to take the wings home after before. Asked tonight and they said I had to pay to take what I already payed for home. I dont care if that has always been a rule there. I dont know any place that cheap to do that. And the person who told me was extremely rude about it. That is me and my groups last time going there.

The wife and i go over to eat at least once a week,since under new owner ship the food and specials have been great. The staff and management are very friendly and very open to ideas and perhaps new menu items.I would tell anyone to go visit the California Bar and Grill and see for your self. Great turnaround !!!

Just finished eating and I must say that everything was fabulous! The crab cakes were excellent and the prime rib very tasty, and it all came very quickly. I almost didnt eat here because it is a bar, but was pleasantly pleased with the food, waiter, and even the atmosphere. We would definitely eat here again.

Service is hit or miss, food is decent for the most part. I usually get wings, but I do feel that they are very overpriced for what you get. The only reason I get them is that I like my wings well fried with a little crisp to the skin, and this is one of the few places that does them that way consistently.

Been here numerous times and this is the first time weve had complaints. Ordered apps that came out with the meal, hotdog was burnt, homemade chips were overdone. Service was good and let her know that we had no complaints about service just food quality.

Not impressed!!! The bartender was not friendly, I wasnt greeted, It took a good 5 minutes to even be acknowledged and the bar wasnt that busy. The food was just ok... I will not be returning ..no wonder it wasnt busy on a Friday night.

Not a fan the waitress said i can take your order but you have to hurry up! The food was horrible and over priced. The food tasted as if it was frozen. The food was either microwaved or just tossed in the fryer. Will not be returning!

Small wings and you cant get a box for them at the bar. First time Ive ever heard that, those wings are mine I paid for them so I own them, dont be an ass and give us a box to take them.

New owners, same incredibly small wings. I dont think they are chicken wings since they are so tiny. Maybe they should call them chick wings.

Not sure why the reviews are all over the place on this restaurant. The food and service are similar to other places in Berks County.

Clean, decent, neighborhood bar and grill. Not stale like a national chain, but still family-friendly.
