Extremely disappointed! Mussels were "blown-up" and out of the shell, covered in black muck. The lobster was charbroiled, literally black edged and tougher than steak. Shrimp appeared freezer burned, dry and tough. When complaint was aired, the offer was free dessert for a completely ruined $100...
A great palce to dine. Never had a bad meal.
But the restaurant is small and there is no nonsmoking section. They don't need a nonsmoking section. It certianly wouldn't hurt their business
to eliminate smoking.
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...
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 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...
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 ...
We have been to this small restaurant many many times over the years. I'm happy to say the food is consistant. We have tasted almost every dish on the menu, and enjoyed all of them. The servings are large,I think it is a great deal for the price. Friendly bartender serving great drinks, good salad ...
Everything tastes like the oven. Everything!
What a sin.
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
Terrific food made by your side. A great food experience! My compliments all around. Gotta see it and taste it to believe it.
We had a great meals at Youells last night. The food was fresh and well prepared. The service was friendly and expedient. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. I had the Rainbow Trout, pecan crusted, sauteed in brown butter and topped with sauteed spinach, gorgonzola cheese and Jumbo Lump C...
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...
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...
YUMMO! Small Place with Great Food!
I had their Tilapia fish with huge chucks of lump
crab meat over top in a light sauce. Oh yeah,
they have a salad bar as well~ you don't see them to often. Make reservations!
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...
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 a...
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.
