Upscale Mediterranean bistro with vaulted ceilings & a wood-fired oven used to cook many dishes.

We picked this place as a last minute trip for a show in Reading. We were not disappointed! Our server was wonderful( sorry cant remember her name), very attentive and super efficient. The drinks were wonderful!! The food was so delicious!! I ordered the flounder and it was very flavorful but also very spicy, it had black pepper flakes on it which I didnt expect, and I dont do spicy so beware, but scraped them off. My husband had the short ribs and omg they were melt in your mouth delicious!! The atmosphere was super cozy! If we are ever back in Reading we def would visit again!

What a wonderful evening we had! We came here for my wife’s birthday and she loved everything! From the drinks to the entrees and everything in between, nothing was out of place.
Highly recommend the squash with crab soup, the beet salad with the feta cheese and the filet or scallops. In terms of the dessert you HAVE to try the coconut layer cake or the vanilla bean crème brûlée.
Huge shout out to Shannon V for being a wonderful server! Always attentive, super helpful, and just overall really friendly! Also, thanks to Judy for coming out and checking on us after our entrees, certainly made for a welcoming feel.

It was our first time here, and it will not be our last! The food was absolutely amazing, and Megan, our server, was excellent with her timing of the courses and her service. We started out with focaccia bread with olive oil, then the fig appetizer with gorgonzola, and for our entrees, my husband had the boneless short ribs, and I had crabcakes(I took home half the meal for the next day to save room for dessert). For dessert, we had chocolate mousse cake and the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. The whole experience was well worth the price, and the drive.

Another Easter dinner at Judy’s in the record books! The most delicious ham you’ve ever tasted. The best scalloped potatoes l have ever had, and amazing carrots and green beans, fresh! Not to mention the bread omg the bread and the best coconut cake in the universe! Thank you for having the best servers, the best menu for meat lovers and vegetarians and the best chefs! Always the freshest food and so consistent. Not sure if you know, but I drive an hour and a half just to get to your restaurant, and it is worth every minute!

Phenomenal food with such a creative, modern, & contemporary vibe. A blue & yellow theme with modern artwork available for purchase.
The food, cocktails, & dessert will not disappoint. The swordfish recommended by Judy was cooked perfectly. The blueberry pie was very unique & one of a kind. 10/10 experience.
The restrooms are another creative piece of the restaurant that should not be missed.

Pure excellence from start to finish. The vibe of the place is superb. It’s artsy and eclectic, hopping with people. The staff are phenomenal. Our server, Missy, was truly great. We started with the foccacia ($2.75 for 4 pieces) and it was INCREDIBLE. My cocktail was beautifully done and only $12. The salads that accompany the entree are shockingly good; all in house made dressings. My husband had the fettuccine alfredo with chicken. Homemade pasta and wonderful! I had the Casuela Roast of Cape May Scallops…oh my gosh, what a flavor profile! We finished with the creme brulee; fantastic flavor! From the environment to the experience to the food, we absolutely recommend this wonderful place!

First time stopping here, was not terribly impressed with the menu, usually when there are only a few things to choose from, it means they have more time to focus on making those dishes amazing. Food was good, but not awesome. My girlfriend and I didn’t even finish our meals and declined a to-go box. The restaurant has an nice atmosphere, and the sink in the men’s room was pretty cool, but we’re gonna skip this place next time we’re in the area and hungry. Service was great. Food was average.

Found this wonderful place by accident looking for someplace to eat while dropping off at Penske last week. The cassoulet was so good I am having it again tonight. We sat at the chef’s counter and met everyone working the line and Judy. We only wish you were closer because we loved everything and everyone.

Judy’s on Cherry is an absolute gem in Reading! The food is beyond incredible — globally inspired with some Cuban-influenced dishes that taste like Cuba in its golden era. Rich, soulful, unforgettable flavor. You can tell this is an owner-involved business — the pride, care, and love show in every detail.
The service is fast and super friendly, and the atmosphere is warm, stylish, and cozy. The playlist? Chef’s kiss. Whoever curates the music deserves an award — it sets the perfect tone without being overpowering.
This place is a full-on experience — not just a meal. If you’re in Berks County and haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You’ll be planning your next visit before dessert hits the table. ✨

We enjoyed a beautifully prepared dinner on a very busy weekend evening. Service was excellent, and every bite was delicious. We will definitely be back! We drove 1.5 hours just to check it out and it was worth the drive!
