Excellent restaurant for fish! Consistently great for "anything" crab.
We've eaten there every year on our anniversary, never gotten anything we didn't like. Excellent soft shell crabs, awesome raw clams, great seafood soups. Atmosphere is cozy. Drinks were always good, as was the service.
We have eaten here since the original was on College Hill in Easton. Now living in Virginia Beach, VA no one down here can even touch the quality and tatse of the food. Eating establishments down here could learn alot from this place!
I have dined at Youell's many times, almost always ordering the crab au-gratin. It has always been superb. My husband usually gets the Seafood stew and he loves that as well. It is a seafood house so maybe that accounts for the poor steaks. You know "when in Rome...."
We went there for Valentines Day...as it turns out it was both of our parents first date place...how ironic!! IT IS AN AWESOME AWESOME PLACE. A great kept secret!
My wife and I have been eating at Youells every couple of months for the past five or six years. I can honestly say that we have never had a bad meal. Youells is good for anything seafood. If you would like to eat beef, go else where.
I read the negative comment about the steak at youell's and I have to disagree. Since I am allergic to seafood and my wife loves Youell's, I consistently order the steak - and since I have eaten in some of the finest steak restaurants I feel qualified to say that Youell's offers a generous 1/2 lb t...
I just moved to Allentown from Manhattan. What a pleasant experience it was to find this fine restaurant. The Crabmeat dishes (all made with 1/3 lb of jumbo lump crabmeat)are simply the best to be had anywhere (and I've been vacationing on the Eastern Shore for 30 years. The atmosphere is relaxed...
The food was absolutely wonderful!! Service was good and the menu provided a nice variety.
Our family moved to Allentown recently and our neighbor recomended Youell's as the "best seafood in the area". He was absolutly correct. We enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, even though it has a "fine dining" feel. The service is friendly and competent. Soups - crab bisque and clam chowder, are both...
I read the previous diner's comments with amusement and curiosity. Since moving back to the Lehigh Valley 3 years ago my family and I have been regular customers (every Friday Night). We have found that the food and drinks are of a very good value. And frankly, I haven't found a restaurant anywhe...
My family loves Youells Oyster House. We eat at many restaurants between Allentown and Bethlehem. Youells by far has the best seafood. Everywhere else I have ever gone has crabmeat that seems like imitation crabmeat that you buy at the supermarket. I read the "beer guys" comments. I've always f...
Regarding the previouse comment, I think I was in the party of 4 he was referring to as being "loud". We love Youells because it is a fun, casual restaurant with great food and service. Our impresion was that this group of "complainers" wanted something for free. They really abused the server and...
I consider myself a "foodie", however, I am not a journalist so bear with me...As a regular customer of this restaurant I have had an opportunity to accumulate enough experiences to share my thoughts about Youell's. Youell's Oyster House is located in a residential neighborhood one block south of H...
Great atmosphere, great drinks, fantastic food. We had the Bouillabaise, Paella, Crabcake and Salmon with Seared Scallops. The best meal we've had in many years
Took my honey there Saturday nite - so close to where we live. Alawys cozy atmosphere - very 'Allentown'! Had wonderful steamed clams with requested brown butter - Mmmmm! My honey ordered the salmon and scallop dish and loved it! My crab imperial almost had a whipped texture - so light but with ...
Great meal at Youell's Oyster House Saturday night. I had the New England Clam Chowder and an entree of Seared Sea Scallops with Lobster Rosotto. Excellent! My wife had Crab Bisque and Jumbo Lump Crabmeat served with brown butter. Fantastic! We each finished the meal by having a piece of Chocol...
Great family owned, neighborhood restaurant. Much better value than any of the chains. Casual fine dining. Great cocktails and wine selection. We started with Sauteed Oysters from the Chef's Menu - Never imagined it would be so good. I had Crabmeat Imperial. Loaded with very large chunks of bl...
Great meal and enjoyable evening. I enjoyed the "Drunken Mussels" (steamed in dark beer with shallots, dijon and a touch of cream) and the "Bouillabaisse with 1/2 Maine Lobster" from the Chef's menu. My date ordered the "Creole Crabcake". All jumbo lump crabmeat and no filler. Just enough ingred...
Our party of 8 was celebrating a birthday recently and enjoyed a spectacular meal at Youell's. I read with some amusement (although the owners probably did not find it funny!) the previous review, because we were in the same nite and thoroughly enjoyed many of the same items that were complained ab...
