Always a Good Time....Nice Pub with Great Food & Drinks...The Owner seemed nice & friendly & the Bartenders are Great!!!
Such a nice atmosphere 👌 The food was GREAT and the service was awesome! Friendly and laid back tavern to eat and enjoy with family. We are business owners so we know and appreciate great service and quality. We will definitely be back.
Loved this so much, such a cute little bar too relax with some friends. Also they have amazing food!
They have a decent menu, AYCE crab legs on Mondays for $35, local pub fare, burgers and fried foods, some home-style meals with a fair selection of daily specials at moderate prices; nice local crowd whom show up for events like the Cornhole Tournament at the end of the Summer; attentive staff of friendly waitresses and bar staff, but could have better drink specials; three sided bar with a few televisions throughout for viewing the games, etc.; clean bathroom; awesome outdoor deck partially covered, partially uncovered for those whom enjoy the sun, which also becomes an enclosed deck with protection from the weather for the cooler weather; jukebox and ATM (because its CASH ONLY)
Food was all good. Mixed drinks good. Service best it could be under the circumstances. We got there around 4:30. The bar was full. There was nobody else in the dining room and the bartender was the only server, and obviously very busy. A second server and another bartender came in around 5:00. We elected to sit in the dining room since the bar was full. I had the seafood soup special which was excellent. Also the pulled pork quesadillas special, very good. My wife had the filet romaine salad. Atmosphere is an older local bar inside. They also have an enclosed deck which looked nice. The patrons there were friendly and accommodating to guide us since it was obviously our first time there. One guy at the bar gave us his wifes menu until the bartender could get over to greet us. We will try it again.
By the time we get there the place was really packed.Theres no sign saying if we can seat our self or we have to wait to be seated. No waitress there either when we walked in (it was busy night I can tell).So we just pick empty seat.Else than that, I can say the food was great. Especially if you can appreciate spicy food or food with different spices else than salt and pepper.The French onion soup was great. The spiciest chicken wings also awesome, not just Tabasco sour taste. Fries looks great as well.Will definitely return and recommend this place---maybe come at normal days not weekend or Friday night when they are very busy.
Nice small town bar, great people, easy to gather friends and family, was much better when the did more specials, ex. Buck a shuck oysters, AYCE snow crabs...
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ fair enough for a small town in PA. After coming back from California, its decent for PA 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Call ahead on a nice day. Kitchen was very slow may be staffing issues but staff were short with unhappy patrons.
My son and I had dinner there on Saturday, Nov 6th, 2021. The service was terrible. I made the mistake of ordering their “award winning” ribs. I literally bent the knife trying to cut them. They were inedible. The server said, yeah this is the third time today they were sent back. Then why would you let me order them??? The tap beer was flat and served in a dirty glass. I have no clue how this place is still in business. I will not be back.
Great food, good prices. Love eating here.
Absolutely delicious. We ate the snapper soup and New England clam chowder. We also had the Asian Pork Shank appetizer, which tasted phenomenal. Our entrees were the chicken quesadilla and the grilled romaine salad with the arrowhead filet, it was all very very good! Would highly recommend the outdoor eating area!
Awesome food. Great service. Can’t go wrong
We discovered this place shortly after moving into the area and we absolutely love it. The wings are amazing and their homemade blue cheese dressing is phenomenal!! Cash only, but there is an ATM inside.
First time there. With a group of 10 girlfriends. Food was terrific.. .had the Alaskan Haddock. Most of the group had the beef sandwiches, which looked delicious. Server, Alisa was on the ball...took care of us well. Would definitely go back. Heads up...cash only... wasnt a problem for us as most knew ahead of time
My wife & I had the snapper soup. It was delicious! Nice sitting outside amidst the trees & overlooking the lawn. Very pleasant experience! Good wait staff.Take cash, they dont take cards!
Chicken cheesesteak was good. Cash only...atm inside. Service was good.
Had lunch, service was a little slow, food was pretty good
Amazing food. Service is only okay. I believe they are short staffed so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.Food is ALWAYS great here no matter how short staffed they are.
Food was really good. The fried.pickles were a perfect snack. Tuna tacos were excellent. My friend a cheeseburger and said it was really good. Service was good. Cash only but I knew that by the large sign out front so it wasnt a surprise.
60¢ Wings on Sunday - and they are 😋Cash Only!
Been going to Rons since before I was legally allowed to drink. Not because they serve minors, rather its a great place to eat with family and friends. Great prices great portions great atmosphere. Havent eaten the wings in forever but if theyre still the same, they were the best. Rons always there to offer a friendly welcome and a rip of his hat.
Not often you get a cheese steak that is memorable but WOW, best one in awhile. Will go back again for sure. Friendly staff even though they were working their butts off. Wait was long but the food was excellent and made it well worth it. Prices are average for the area and smoking is only allowed at the far end of the outside deck area. Not much to look at but youre not going to look, your going for the best food in the area.
Been 3 times so far and will continue going. The food, the service and atmosphere are great. Enjoyable experience.
Great food, great service.
Waited about 20 minutes to receive menus or get asked for drinks. The waitress walked past us several times. The only reason we received menus was because I sought out a bartender and asked for service.When I did receive my drink it was the wrong drink (a Busch instead of a Busch light) and I had to ask to receive the side that listed as coming with my meal. The mussels in red sauce were not terrible, the mussels were actually pretty good but the pasta tasted and looked like I microwaved a lean cuisine. The sauce had the same viscosity as water. My girlfriend informed me that the Arrowhead filet was not bad and she did not regret ordering it.Overall, the service was horrible. This includes the cooking and wait times, not just our waitress who neglected her job to multiple tables that we noticed. The prices for the food were reasonable but the drink prices seemed steep for a small town bar. I will personally not return here.FYI, this is cash only (this did not affect my rating as I should have noted this before I arrived)
Delicious!! Diamond in the ruff! Amazing wait staff, bartender. The drinks were delicious, I recommend the Nutty Frenchman! The soups are made one of the waitresses and were freaky made to order. Delicious. Definitely recommend.
Upfront tip-They dont take credit cards so prepare with cash or use their ATM $2.25 fee. Lovely back deck that I couldnt use due to chill in the air. Would have loved to find this place a little sooner. The menu is type I like where it can fit most budgets. Choices range in $ to $$$ prices. I chose fish and chips. Did not choose wrong. A large piece of fried haddock with skin on French fries was delivered to our table. The true test for me is the tartar sauce. I am a fan of the sour sauce due to the relish. And I did RELISH the sauce. My husband has a very narrow food selection. He, for once tried a new dish Herb Chicken with Garlic sauce over linguini. He asked them to hold the mushrooms & spinach. He really enjoyed it. This is a place we will return to so I can enjoy the outdoor eating.
Solid as always. Thanks Rons! Fresh peel and eat shrimp in October. Awesome. Something changed with the fried pickles breading. The jury is still out on the change...I dont like change especially when something is perfect at the start!
Always one of my top choices to get a meal at. Great menu and have yet to have a bad meal the few years Ive been a patron. A little jealous of a few of my friends who I showed this glorious establishment to, since they are able to frequent more often than myself.
Awesome environment. Good ambiance. Clean. Fast and good service. Friendly staff. Bring cash, there is an ATM, but is $2.25 charge. Great outdoor sitting area. The wings are delicious!!!
Plenty to satisfy many appetites. Service/Rosealyn was fantastic! Assisted with making choices, knowledge of dishes, quick to bring food, all around great server! Some of the freshest seafood Ive had outside of OCMD!
We based our visit on the stellar reviews seen here, and wow, it really disappointed. To start, there were only two other tables occupied outside on the deck where we were seated, and it took the sole waitress 20 minutes to get a drink order. The taps had definitely not been cleaned in a long time as was apparent with the taste of the drinks we were served, (soda and beer). Our food order took another twenty minutes and an additional half hour to get our food, (cold sub sandwhiches ... in an empty restaurant ... should take five minutes max). I took one bite of my sandwich and immediately realized that it was filled with bottom shelf deli meats, the only exception being that they used old world provolone, one bite of which masks and overtakes all other flavors. I had gone inside at one point to find a restroom when I witnessed the waitress flirting with the singular patron sitting at the bar, (this was while we were waiting for our food order). I do not understand how this place has so many high ratings. I will never go back.
Great local dive. Good food, cheap beer and a pleasant atmosphere. The big deck with outdoor seating takes it over the top. Try the wings and the roast pork sandwich.
My fellow restaurant friends and I came in because we were starving. It took 25 minutes to get drinks and a server passed us at least 4 times with no acknowledgement. Was excited to try the food but we left hungry.
Ive had blackened tuna everywhere but this little hidden gem far exceeded any of those other places. It was cooked to perfection and coupled with some drizzled hot spicy sauces and a crunchy shell of taco, it is the best around. Love the pool table and dart board and outdoor seating.
Quiet. Cold Beer served in a frosted glass. Best Cheesesteaks in the area!! Only gave 4 stars because onion rings are not allways available.
Beautiful outdoor setting. Friendly and prompt wait staff. Parking is limited, but sufficient. And shorter list of food. But everything Ive had has tasted really good. And, the portions are right sized.
Great place off the beaten path that we recently learned about after moving back to the area.Food, drinks, and service were fabulous!
This was my third time at Rons and the last two times service was great food was very good. I was there a few days ago with my wife and two other couples. Service was still great but the food was just horrible, wings taste like fish, fried chicken was cold in the center, quesadilla were edible but they also had a funny taste and the cheesesteaks were so so, the french fries were just plain old nasty. We told the waitress about how horrible the food was and she told us that they had a new cook and she made this face like we werent the only people that complain about the cook. Well in my opinion,I think they need to fire that cook. We wont be go back to Rons until they get a better cook.
Grilled Romaine, petite filet, the best blue cheese dressing ever! Hands-down the most amazing hand-cut french fries! My most favorite guilty pleasure 💕
Surprisingly delightful. Shame is a cash only establishment. Food was excellent.
We really like Rons. Its kinda in the middle of nowhere, but we really enjoy their food. Its pub food and then some, but its really good. The wait staff has always been good too. We like sitting outside on a nice day.
Good food, good prices!
Went to celebrate Birthday/ Retirement Dinner. 17 in our group,set us up on porch with 3 waitresses,also brought in a cake. The food and service was EXCELLENT. Highly recommend Rons for any occasion
Good home style food in a tavern atmosphere.
Wow! Never thought Id find Ribs like these in Pottstown! The meat fell off the bone! It was worth every penny. My wife had the fish and chips and she enjoyed that as well. You have to check this place out if youre in the area. Unfortunately its CASH Only, so be prepared!
The outdoor deck area is so nice. You can look out at the trees and feel soo relaxed. The hanging flowers surrounding the deck are beautiful! The food is very good!
Wings were really tiny and they dont take credit cards. However, waitress was excellent!
Loved the outdoor seating area! Great food reasonably priced!
This is a great place! We had a very nice time and cant wait to go back. The food as always was great and the staff was just as awesome! Thank you
Buck a Shuck night is the best and the oysters are outstanding. Understaffed. The girls try there best but they could use help. Food is always solid.
Tasty food.. great service.. nice atmosphere. Well be back!
Had such a great time we visited twice. It is a bar, no doubt. BUT its a great neighborhood bar and the food and service is amazing! ! Friendly, fun, comfortable and delish.
Lived in the area for 10 years.My only regret is that I didnt eat here before today.Food was amazing!
Amazing food for great prices. The staff is very nice and we were treated like regulars since the firsy time we went. Also super kid friendly. Cash only.
Food is always hot and great. Waitress was awesome too.
Food was OK. Service was not. Plus, theyre cash only but dont tell you until you go to pay.
The food is always delicious.
Never had a bad meal here. Best cheesesteaks & blackened tuna tacos around! Nice deck outback as well. Cash only.
New England Clam Chowder was awesome! Drink(Long Island Iced Tea) was mixed perfectly! Nice deck to sit outside! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Great food! It was very busy, but they did a great job+
First time there it clean place ,was there for my mother surprise birthday party very friendly people and clean
Had the BEST time, and food was GREAT., Staff super FRIENDLY!!! 👍
Rons has a great outdoor seating area. Always a good spot to swing in for some drinks and food. cash only, they have an ATM.
Great place for some beers and a game of pool with friends. Food is what it is - generally your basic bar fare. Nothing really special, but always prepared well.
Used to come here for good cheap drinks and a relatively quiet night but the last two times we took and Uber and then had to call another one and pay extra because they were closed early with no answering machine message or anything. Ridiculous.
An awesome place ! First time I visit it but I can assure you that youll have a great time there and there was great food to combined with a great ambiance its the perfect place for taking your new date !
If you want to go out to eat great outdoor heated seating and food is awesome and very cozy
First time here. Not a bad place for food and drinks. Outside seating is nice. Food is a bit overpriced. Will be back again at some point to try other things.
Great neighborhood bar and restaurant. It is a bar but so relaxed and comfortable. You can easily enjoy a great meal and a strong beverage. But bring cash!
Its ok,not the greatest when it comes to dinner options
Good fish & chips, generous beef sandwich. New spacious outdoor dining area. Cash only. Medium prices.
I love this place for a comfortable place to have good comfort food and drinks for a price that wont make you take out a loan. Be aware that its cash only.
Their salmon is to die for it melts in your mouth I recommend this place even if its just for getting out the house and getting a drink and a bite to eat you absolutely will not be disappointed
For a place that seems to be out of the way, the food was excellent! Service and atmosphere was perfect.
Always great service and food. Cannot wait for covid to go away and really enjoy Rons
Delicious food, ribs, wings and good beer. Definitely stoping next time.
No good, food had no flavor went here because all the great reviews at the bar was just old people yelling
Food is good beer is warm from tap if you like warm beer then this is the spot for you. Note the is 5th time warm beer in 2 yrs
Great pub with excellent food, great beers. Price point is right on. It is cash only, so be prepared for that. On site ATM in case you forget. :)
CASH ONLY. Friendly staff, amazing wings, reasonably priced drinks.
Quiet little place with friendly staff. Great wings and drinks. Looking forward to going again.
Great food and quick service!! Went with a group of 20, had two waitresses, and the food came out within 10 minutes of ordering!
Love there deck!
Great place rustic. Good food and clientele. Service was very good. Bar tender needed to smile more
Awesome place, great food and beverages, amazing staff. Definitely try the wings. Get the jerk and dragon mix. Amazing..
Was put on hold so they could “find the person taking orders”. Never came back on the line. I finally hung up waited awhile to call back and the line was still busy! Guess I still would be on hold!! Horrible service!
Nice neighborhood bar and restaurant! Order the fish and chips on Thursday night for an excellent dinner at a great price!
Neat little dive with good food and very cold beer!
Ron’s Crooked Hill Tavern has surprisingly good food. You wouldn’t expect it out of such a hidden neighborhood bar. Remember to bring cash.
Great place, spent my 21st here and I couldnt have had a better time
Super slow service, terrible food, no good craft beer. This is a true DIVE. Go to Railroad Bar & Grill instead for their awesome grill cheeses!
Excellent food across the whole menu. Their homemade Bleu cheese dressing is to die for!
Nice place,great atmosphere and food was delicious. . We went on trivia night and it was just a real hootenanny
Great place to have a very good sandwich, for example their pork roast sandwich on a round roll, so very soft and tender.
Great food and outdoor atmosphere.
Good food, good bartender and atmosphere! Had a great time !
This place is the best around Pottstown if you like a good bar with cold beer and great food with the friendliest staff
The tuna tacos are awesome! Reasonably priced n good service. Will definitely be going back.
Great place for Drinks and Food dining out on the porch or deck friendly atmosphere and excellent service Be sure to ask for Ginger.
Just had Blackened Tuna Tacos....all I can say is AMAZING! Ginger (bartender, waitress,cook,etc...) is just awesome
Service can be spotty, but they have good food and a good heart. More than just a bar.
Fries were burnt and wings fried hard. Not impressed
Great service and amazing food! Love this place!
Great food and a beautiful night to sit on their deck.
Chicken Joe likes to hang there....anything good enough for him is more than good enough for me. One of my favorite spots.
Good food and prices, super friendly staff!
Food here is spot on, I would almost consider it a hidden gem. Bartenders are always friendly.
Yes, just yes. the definition of a good old american dive bar. good food, good beer. america.
I sat and waited for 15 minutes. No one ever recognized that i was there. I finally left and went somewhere a little more friendly.
Love the french fries here! Wish they took credit card though, always have to go get cash out.

2022-04-06We always have a great time when Lisa and I go to Rons crooked tavern. The food is always on point and the price is reasonable, the staff is always happy to help in any way they can. We really like the outdoor patio they have, its a great neighborhood atmosphere where everyone knows your name or someone you know does. I will most definitely tell friends and family which I have been doing every since I went for the 1st time. Will I go again I already have, love this place.
Review №2
2022-04-04Food was great! My only complaint is they need more help. 1 person working the bar, waitressing, and cleaning tables.
Review №3
2022-06-05When its not too busy the service is pretty good, otherwise prepare for fairly long periods of time between visits from your server. Sitting at the bar isnt too bad for service but I dont care to eat at the bar.Food has always been very good.Outside on the deck on a nice evening with the right temperature is great.French onion soup is needlessly salty. Needlessly you say? Yes, because there are any number of other places that make it with far less salt.

2022-07-09The place has great food and drinks! Unfortunately, the owner is not a nice person. When I tried to tell him that we recently found his place and really enjoyed it he just totally ignored me even though he was sitting at the bar right next to my friend and I. My friend said she heard him saying some not so nice things to the bar maid who obviously works for him. My suggestion is to sit outside, when possible, so you dont need to hear his loud antics with his buddies. The only other downfall is that they only accept cash but at least they do have an ATM.
Review №5
2022-07-23Great local bar with amazing food. Lots of regulars, sports on TV, great music and excellent service almost always guaranteed. You can sit inside, outside under an enclosure or outside on the deck. Great ribs, and fish and chips. Their filet tips over fries with hollandaise sauce appetizer is a meal in itself and my favorite app. Rons is a great hidden Gem. Once you go you will know why its popular and why you will want to go back 🥳

2022-06-16Waitress was awesome! Food was decent, but not amazing. By biggest qualm with this establishment was the amount of time it took to get our food.We waited about 27 minutes for our mozerella sticks and another 25 minutes after that for our burgers.Outside of that, waitress was good, seating was prompt and its a cool local place with an old school vibe.
Review №7
2021-04-29Excellent tuna tacos, and a great outdoor dining area. The fries had a hint of rosemary and were delicious. Decent selection of beer to include local craft beer. Server was kind and attentive. Only drawback is it is cash only :-(
Review №8
2022-06-14Fish dinner was great! Flaky fish with a crunchy crust...yum! And $3 Landshark on tap. Love this place!
Review №9
2022-06-25I crave their blue cheese dressing as weird as it sounds. Cater to my gluten free needs when I ask. Wish they werent cash only.
Review №10
2022-06-27Horrible experience! Waited 50 minutes for a mediocre cheese steak and two tacos. Add insult to injury, the food wasnt very warm. I think I counted about ten people in the place. I wouldnt recommend this place.
