- OTOpenTable DinerPhiladelphia County •1 review4.0Dined 1 day agoThe staff was very accommodating in making sure we were able to secure a reservation despite the fact that it was extremely busy. We sat at the bar and, given the amount of people, service was very good. The food was above average bar food. Prices were very reasonable.

- OTOpenTable DinerPhiladelphia County •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe were in Allentown for a comedy show at PPL. It was a Thursday night - their burger special night. I got the smash burger and my husband got the Union Burger. We got the cheese curds appetizer. Everything was absolutely delicious. Burgers came with a beer or a milkshake. We got the milkshake! Also delicious! Our server was so sweet and helped us decide what to order. Such a great find!!!!More infoUnion and FinchPrice: Moderate• American• Allentown•4.8
- AAnnettePhiladelphia County •10 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoFood was good ... guess we expected more toppings (lettuce, tomato, etc.) for the fajitas (similar to other restaurants). Not overly impressed with your salsa ... not tomato-ey. Missed having chips and sals to start the meal -- sorry, your competitors provide free of charge to all customers. Service was excellent!More infoTorre RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Center Valley•4.7
