Warm & cozy dining experience! DeSha’s never disappoints! We met friends on a busy Wednesday evening & remembered why this was a favorite. Nice menu variety/ good wine selection/ great server. The cornbread is a delicious treat- complimentary. Fish & chips portion is huge. Pretzel prime rib sandwich is husband’s favorite.

Had an awesome time dining with my best friend on Valentine’s Day @ Reading White Castle. We shared the love cube meal, the place was packed and service was acceptable for the location and circumstance. Wait after we ordered for our food was lengthy but we enjoyed our time. We tipped 25% and hope she shared with the rest of the staff, since it was a true team effort.
