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 tab...
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...
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 !
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.
My husband and I love Henry's. We visit at least two - three a year for special occasions. The specials are always a hit for us. My husbands favorite is the soft shell crabs. It a must to go when they are on the menu. Everything I've tried on the menu so far has been fantastic
Wish I knew what everyone is raving about - the food is sub par. Very dissapointed - after reading some of the reviews were excited, but left unhappy.
The softshell crab dinner is fantastic !
Same goes for the snapper soup.
One of the best restaurants in the area.
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...
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...
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.
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!
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 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!
Giving credit where credit is due, this place had some of the best crab bisque I ever tasted. But stop at the soup. Moving to the entrees, The Crab cake was tasteless, the flounder stuffed with crabmeat was absolutely boring. One in our party had soft shell crabs, and they were just ok.
My teen...
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.
