The Ugly Oyster Drafthaus

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the pub, but, I have ordered and had delivered. The food is amazing. I am very picky about my crab meals. Ice had the ugly pretzel, crab dip and crab cake sandwich. All outstanding!!! Wish I could eat there more often. Major props and respect!!

We had a great time here!! The fish and chips were a popular selection, I enjoyed oysters and the Caesar salad. It was so good to have the vinaigrette dressing instead of the creamy Caesar from a bottle. There were also a lot of great beer draft options!Will go here again next time I am in town!

We were fortunate to secure a table without a reservation. We were promptly seated and ordered some appetizers, which turned out to be delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional, especially the fries which were outstanding. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant. Ver carta

The food was excellent and the service was welcoming, friendly, and exceptional. We ordered the signature pretzel and it was incredibly delicious. The crab and pretzel pairing was perfect. I opted for the fish and chips and the fries were outstanding. The fish was tender and the breading was perfectly crispy.

I loved coming to this place just because of the nice beer list... until I opened a box for my sandwich and when I opened there was a dead cockroach smashed up on the lid. Big!!!! When I called the owner to tell him he apologized, but when my husband tried to call him a second time, he ignored his calls. He's lucky I didn't call the health inspectors. I can't go stomach again.

This is definitely a place worth visiting. I got the Fish and Chips which was very delicious. I finished the entire plate with malt vinegar and the lemon slices. No ketchup was served, which means the fries were good enough to eat without. Although they seemed to lack a solid Porter or Stout selection, the Belgian ale I got there was excellent. Definitely a must-hit-once-food-stop of Berks County.

This restaurant in Reading is a hidden gem, at least in my opinion. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. I started with the blue point raw oysters as an appetizer and they were incredible - super fresh and delicious. For my entree, I had the fish and chips and they were spot on! The lightly breaded, well-seasoned thick pieces of pollock were fried to perfection. I also love the old bar and the vintage ambiance of the restaurant. It's the perfect place to cozy up by the fire on a cold winter day and enjoy some delicious food.

The Ugly Oyster Drafthaus was very cute! We had the Crab dip which was very good. It was served with bread, pretzels and sesame seed crackers. We tried the house oysters from Virginia which were good had a slight grassy finish but a soft brine and plump meat. We also tried the Mapaque, from Prince Edward Island which had a heavy briny flavor and was quite delicious. We then had the steamed little neck class and snow crab legs. The clams were fantastic but the Crab legs were over cooked. We tried the hand cut french fries we were excited for the malt vinegar on the table but the first bottle was not good (it was sitting in the window) and the second bottle was watered down. It was kind of dis... Ver carta
