I decided to stop in and check them out. It was a week night, so they weren’t very busy. I had the chicken florentine. Delicious! Very friendly wait staff, but a little slow, even on a slow night. Homemade cheesecake was pretty good. A little burnt, but was still good. I went back on Saturday, and they had no seating except for those with reservations.

What a cool place! It is an absolutely gorgeous space, and when we came they had a very talented singer playing. The manager also jumped on the microphone and did awesome! The food was pretty good, the cocktails were delicious, and we loved the low seats with the refurbished train station benches. I bet sitting outside on the patio is gorgeous when it’s warm outside.

Great place in downtown Reading along the railroad tracks. The former Franklin Street Station sat vacant for over 25 years but was transformed into a brew pub restaurant. The parking lot is safe and secure. Staff is friendly and helpful. Saucony Creel brewery offers variety of great tasting craft brews. The food is delicious. Don’t miss out on this classic former train station for a great beer and some good food.

Saucony Creek Franklin Station is a hidden gem and one of our favorite date places to come to. We absolutely love the atmosphere. The food is amazing. The triple threat fries are our favorite appetizer. We have so many favorite food items it’s hard to mention them all. The waitstaff all hustle and ensure you are well taken care of. They have a wide assortment of beer and specialty drinks. You will not be disappointed!

We found this place using Google AI prompting for a brew pub walking distance to a hotel along our travel route. What a find! We will be coming back.
Yes like a 2 block walk from the Doubletree.
The building is a refurbished train station. So the inside is really cool. High ceilings, station architecture – they did a nice job preserving the building. But enough of the building and on to beer and food.
Problems with the keg cooling system so not too many beers on tap. But no matter, because they have their offerings in cans.
We ordered the Hayzeey IPA, Saucony Creek Lager, and Unicorns Hazy IPA. The Hazeey has a light flair to it. You definitely taste the hops but not over powering. I found it really drinkable and at less than 7% you can have more than one! As an IPA fan I had to try the Unicorns IPA. The description lent itself to a heaviness that I was skeptical to try. But no, a fav for me! It’s a light IPA with nice flavor. I don’t mean light in the marketing sense of light but rather just not as heavy as I was expecting. Very tasty indeed!
My husband had the lager which was a really nice drinkable beer. He had a few of those.
Service was really fast and friendly and our waitress Mia was great!
Live music now, Tres Hombres, and they are great. Music from The Monkees to the Foo Fighters!
For dinner I had the Miyagi bowl – lots of food, totally splittable for 2. It came with a huge piece of tofu and an abundance of veggies. My hubby had the Turkey Rachel with fries. He described his sandwich as very good! And the fries were steakfries. Also very good.
I took a pic of my dinner but only after I dug in and thought ooh I should post a pic of this. So please don’t judge the bowl by my partially eaten bowl.
All in all a wonderful experience and a call out to the host. What a cool guy! Would love to package his look and aura!
And final edit – what a really nice Women’s room: large, clean, and a variety of hand lotions and femininely products for use! This nicety has not gone unnoticed!

With this place, I have found a new favorite!
Cool people, cool food, good drinks.
I’ve been here before and came again during Super Bowl Sunday when it was eempty. Great choice on my part because it felt very VIPish. However, a lot of things were out. The staff there was friendly and cool. Two out of two visits, they were awesome.
With that said, ordered the mac and cheese balls which had macaroni in cheese inside that wasn’t too overpowering. The taste complimented the hard bread crumb crust outside and was perfectly complimentary. The sauce on top of it also paired well and it all felt like it belonged together, even though I was very skeptical.
Then the Jumbo buffalo wings. I typically don’t order buffalo wings because a lot of places are horrible. If they are jumbo, they are usually compensating for how bad they are. The place i was at last week, which I won’t name, tasted old and awful. These however, were jumbo, tasted fresh, and were delicious. The blue cheese was good, the light coating of hot sauce was just the right amount, though I wanted more, and I want them again!
The grilled rosemary chicken sandwich was also something I was skeptical of. But the bread, aioli sauce, and toppings, paired well together. I would order extra pickles myself next time, but man was it good.
The beer was some oak-soaked bourbon with a cinnamon sugar rim. I wish they sold this to go, however, they sell the non-oak-soaked one to take. To me it’s not as good, but you should try it.
I didn’t see the mac and cheese there this time, but when my girlfriend had it the first time, it was great.
I will be coming again, adding it to the list of musts. I want to try their shrimp and grits or oxtail if they are not out next time!

This is a unique place to have a meal, as it is an old train station. Mostly American food – we got the pasta salad and veggie burger. Good size portions and the fries were great – crispy and just right! Aspects of the station are still visible and well preserved like the ticket windows and benches. Some historical information there as well.

Saucony Creek Franklin Station is located in the former Reading Railroad passenger station located off Franklin Street between 6th and 7th Streets in downtown Reading. Franklin Station originally opened as a passenger station opened February 1930, but carried its last passenger in 1981. Saucony Creek took over the old station and opened a pub and restaurant featuring a full line of beers from their microbrewery, cocktails and full menu offers apps, salads, sandwiches, and entrees. Had a delicious burger with fresh cut fries and the price was reasonable at $15. The service was outstanding from the entire staff and our server, Ty, was really great. Come for the nostalgia of the old trains and stay for the fine food and drinks.

Great atmosphere in a historic train station. Have a very good selection of tasty beers with a variety of tastes. The sever was very helpful in providing recommendations based on preferences. We didn’t have time to eat, but the dishes that we saw at other tables looked great. Visited on a Saturday evening and it was surprisingly not at all crowded.

We didn’t order appetizers & then waited about an hour to receive our entrees. We ordered Pan Seared Salmon & Trainstop Smothered Chicken both with mashed potatoes & balsamic Brussel sprouts. Food was not hot, salmon did not appear to be pan seared, over salted & Brussel sprouts were burnt! Despite thar the waitstaff & manager were extremely nice & discounted our meals, we would have preferred to pay full price with an enjoyable dining experience.
