Today again we ate at Austin's Restaurant on the western edge of 
Reading, PA and I was reminded how good their food is and thought to 
pass it on to the list in case anybody is looking for a place to eat.   
I have no financial or other interest except as a customer who wants a 
good meal.  We found Austin's a couple years ago because they mailed out 
gift cards to everybody in our area to draw in new customers.
They have a gluten free menu that includes making recipes with gluten 
free pasta.  Their menu warns you that french fries are subject to 
contamination from the fry oil.  There are at least 8 or 10 entrees that 
you can order gluten free by omitting a sauce or other item.
Today my husband ordered their wonderful onion soup which we have 
ordered in the past minus croutons on an occasion when we did not 
request a gluten free menu.  The server told us she thought it had 
gluten anyway.  She went to check in the kitchen and sure enough the 
beef base (they make their own soups) included gluten in some form.  But 
she was on the ball and knew this.  The food all came as ordered, was 
very good, and we had no bad effects from it.  We had chicken cordon 
bleu made with broiled chicken, tavern ham and a slice of cheese.  I had 
garlic mashed potatoes and coleslaw.  My husband had their meaty baked 
beans and cole slaw.  The entrees run from $9 up and include 2 regular 
sides.  There are also premium sides for which you pay additional.  
Their broiled items including steaks and burgers are flame broiled and 
delicious.
We have eaten there and at the Lancaster, PA location which is on the 
outer edge of stores at Park City Mall at least a dozen times over the 
last 2 years or so and the food has always been good.  We like the 
Reading location because you can park much closer and don't have to deal 
with the lines at the mall.  Wehave the staff knowledgeable about gluten 
free foods at both Reading and Lancaster. There are other locations but 
we have not eaten there.  You can find all the details at their website 
below.
