EXTREMELY disappointed.Paid $65 for a dinner that was worth MAYBE $20. Soft shell crab tasted like a chinese buffet.Bread was hard and cold. We were not told that there was a $3 charge for us to share a dinner and for the server to bring out an extra plate; food was not even mediocre, the atmosphere...
Absolutely delicious and in a comfortable environment! I loved the lobster special and the petite filet. One of the best meals I ever had. So glad I found it!
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...
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...
wonderful place
Been going to Youells for many years. Never noticed the price of liquor. Recently ordered a pint of local beer per the advertised card on the table. Waiter brought out a small hourglass of beer that probably held less than a 12 oz stating this was the only size glass. After I got home I looked at...
Henry's is a wonderful dining experience. The staff, waitresses, bar tenders, and chef's are very polite, and ready to make your night most pleasurable. The food is excellent and served steaming hot, to your liking.
Excellent Food - Great Atmosphere - We have brought friends there and they have loved it!! Make reservations in advance for the seating in a booth...
A superb place. I visit Allentown on business ~ once a year and this is a must on each occasion. Best dish is the lobster that is permanently on the "specials".
We were seated promptly by an angry waiter. Having never been to a Japanese restaurant, it would have been nice if he would have explained the food/menu to us as well as what was in the containers on the table. The ambience of the restaurant was lifeless and we had to listen to disgusting sounds o...
We love seafood, and despite some lukewarm reviews on this site, we decided to try Youells Oyster House. We were very disappointed and do not plan to return to Youells. We called ahead to reserve a table and we were told to come over without a reservation. We waited about 5-10 minutes for a table...
Very Bar like...Food is either excellent or sucks....Depends what you get and the day. Beer is good price but the mixed drinks are high priced with little alchol!!!!!
Absolute best wings in the Lehigh Valley. Have been here many times, usually get the wings and have never been disappointed. Casual pub type atmosphere with lots of TVs, great for happy hour or hanging out with friends..not too good for first date place at peak times, can get loud. Highly recommende...
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'm originally from Allentown pa but I moved to Virginia Beach va, There is no place like this diner. I came home to visit and I went to the diner every morning..the waitresses are so pleasant.the food is very good..good enough to kiss the cook and they give you plenty for 5.00 or less..now va cant ...
Seating and courtesy was very good - wait time to receive food was a touch longer than I would have liked - but overall the wait was worth it. Food was very good, especially the chantilly potatoes, although the vegetables left a lot to be desired. Crab was exceptional. Crab bisque - none better!!...
BEST FOOD IN THE AREA ! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !
This is a sports bar and pizziera it is really for adults the food is what you should expect not fancy but for the most part quick. if you are looking for a family place to eat this is not the place but to get pizza and sandwiches plus a beer this is for you plus watch sports
We have been to Youells three times so far the first two times we pretty good but we recently went there to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We were terribly dissappointed in both the service and food. we waited an hour to receive our food and when it did come out it was so dried out we could...
The food was absolutely wonderful!! Service was good and the menu provided a nice variety.
