Hands down the BEST fried chicken wings in the City of Reading, Pa & has been for more than 30 years. I wasn’t born in this City, but I’ve been eating these wings for more than 30 years strong. Many years ago, he used to have more tasty items for sale, but over the years has reduced it to what customers really want/need which is Soul Food. Headlined by the best fried chicken wings the City of Reading has to offer. Before I begin I must tell you that I am only here to review their wings & fries, delivery through DoorDash has only been available for a a month or so. Prior to this, it’s ALWAYS been pickup. The fries are the basic straight cut fry. They weren’t over or under cooked and matched up well with the wings. The added roll is a black thing. I am black so please don’t think that was a foul statement. Most of us, myself included will not eat fried chicken without bread. It doesn’t matter if 10 pounds of fries were included in the platter. There must be 🍞 As you can see, each piece of chicken was coated and cooked properly. There was no darker or lighter pieces. Every piece of skin on every piece of chicken was the same color. This tells me that no matter how busy they get the food quality is consistent. Please note that this place gets real busy so sometimes DoorDash isn’t available. You may have to call and place your order then pick it up. These wings were served hot which is always a plus when being delivered. Seasoned to perfection with crunchy exterior and a juicy interior. Once you take a bite, you won’t stop eating until all of your wings are gone. Don’t even think about sharing them with a fellow newcomer. Pay the money and get everyone their own platter. Another plus was that I didn’t notice any hairs on my chicken. Now I’m not saying that your piece won’t have any, but mines didn’t. If you happen to stop by, tell them Big Dave sent ya. The best fried chicken wings in Reading, Pa. With that in mind, my name BigDaveIsFat says it ALL! “Get Your Grub On!”

Excellent soul food and owner is as great as his food!!! If you haven't had the fried chicken yet, you HAVE TO! Oh, and the mac-n-cheese! The pic is chicken, mac-n-cheese, collard greens and, of course, corn bread. Ya just can't get enough, though you probably can't eat it all, either! Pretty sure it's take-out only though. It's in an area that you most likely would think you don't want to be in, but trust me, it's worth it. They also participate with GrubHub and I believe delivery is only $.99; another great option if you're wary.

Beckett’s is a local gem. They serve the best soul food in town hands down. What makes this place top notch is that every order is made-to-order, so be prepared to wait 20-25 min for you fresh meal. The chicken breast is very juicy and tender. The greens are made perfectly, and the Mac and cheese is just out of this world. If you are looking for some fried chicken please don’t go to Popeyes or kfc and support this local establishment, because you will not be disappointed!
