YOUELL'S OYSTER HOUSE REVIEWS

Excellent choice a friend of mine chose for a business lunch in the area. The server was super nice and the menu had an outstanding selection. I tried their oysters (from Canada), crab cake, shrimp skewers and scallops. All to die for.

This was a fantastic place! S vice was on point. Seafood was cooked perfectly. Desserts were also good. Cocktails were also great. Would come back.

Great food! Very good service and nice atmosphere. Loved sitting upstairs.

HENRY'S SALT OF THE SEA REVIEWS

seafood scampi is very good and huge portion. We also got the white fish special with crab meat. All is good. Calamari is not crispy in a good way because you can taste the freshness of the squid.

Excellent meal. All the food was fresh and delicious!! You need to make a reservation. And plan time to find parking.

Great little hideaway in Allentown...love the food...service and cocktails..

THE FAIRGROUNDS HOTEL REVIEWS

Finally ate at Fairgrounds Hotel it was fabulous! Seafood and steak done to perfection. Great daily specials. Hurry in for the limited time Hess strawberry pie. Great service from our favorite waiter Frank. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. We'll definitely be back.

Great service and fantastic food! Prices are good and the deserts are fresh. Atmosphere is very old school as you would expect. It all fits in with the older hess department store vibe.

We enjoyed seafood combination dinners and topped it off with a slice of Hess's Patio strawberry pie for dessert.
