If I were to rate Cousin's solely for their beer selection (both bottle and draft), I would give it a 5 stars for having by FAR the greatest craft beer selection near Hamburg, unless you feel like driving to Reading or Allentown. Â They usually have a few great crafts on tap and a bunch in bottles. Â The last time I stopped in, the waitress immediately presented our table with the huge beer list, and everyone at the table was able to find something he/she liked. Â I would suggest trying something other than Coors or Bud Light when visiting Cousin's, especially if you actually enjoy beer.
The servers are friendly, but these places are almost always understaffed, so the service is usually a little slow. Â However, every waitress I've had there has been eager to please. Â During our last visit, our busy server forgot to bring ketchup before we were finished with our meal, and to compensate, she offered to take five dollars off our bill.
I have only eaten here a couple of times, and while the food was not extraordinary, it was good--exactly what I expected. Â I have not had the pizza, but I have heard that it is good, and plan on trying it eventually.
If you are looking to go out and have beers with friends, Cousin's is clean and friendly. Â The only downside (for me) is the sometimes rowdy clientele they get on weekends, but there are a bunch of tables that bar guests are welcome to sit at away from the rest of the crowd.
Went here with my boyfriend while on our way to a friends house out of town. Eh. The waitress...I swear was only 16...was very attentive to our needs. Almost in a stalker way. That's a star right there. We both ordered a coors light draft...mine tasted sour...almost stale. I felt bad returning a beer...it's just wrong...but I couldn't choke down that swill. The 2nd beer was better. The first must have been the first out of the tap. Moving on. We each ordered waters. Should hydrate before 4th of July festivities right? I think the water came from the toilet. I may have even caught a hint of 2000 flushes. She asked if we wanted lemon...boyfriend said no amount of lemon is going to make this drinkable. There is a ray of sunshine! The subs we ordered were very tasty! Perfect amount of meat and foliage. I would probably go back again. Just make sure to not order draft beer or water. Otherwise everything is great.
Review Source:Just visited with my wife tonight. Â Tuesday is AYCE wings. Â This place used to be a favorite back when it was new, I even helped the owner get a few Superbowl memorabilia items for on the walls. Â Time and more area choices have taken its toll sad to say. Â The majority of the menu is fried, disappointing since I know the owners late father owned the best pizza/Italian place in the area years ago. Â On this trip, my wife ordered the fish and chips basket, she was served the fish sandwich with fries. Â The waitress apologized because she ordered the wrong thing from the kitchen. Â I ordered the wings, teriyaki was the first flavor....tasted like they added worstershire to the sauce making it weird but edible. Â The wings themselves were a little over done, like they baked them first to speed frying time. BBQ was second flavor, it had a good smokey flavor. The drinks, as stated in a previous comments were not good. Soda was watered down or the mix was off, the "sweet" tea was ok but not like you would expect and the reorder was "unsweet" tea. Â The best part was that the waitress bought my wife a cannoli for messing up her order! Table was sticky, service was sub-par, had to wait for the wings even though they were ordered when I received my first batch. Â Considering the crowds they used to have every night of the week, sadly this restaurant might be in need of some help from Robert Ervine (Restaurant Impossible) or Jon Taffer (Bar Rescue) if they don't soon make some positive changes! Â There is too much competition in the area with better food quality and service!
Review Source:Less than so-so food. We had pierogi appetizer - they were fried so hard it made it difficult to eat. Fajitas were ok, but the tortillas were too large to easily roll. Usually you would expect a 6-8inch tortilla. They use the extra large 12 -14" variety. And they werent warm enough to be pliable without breaking. Soda was horrible. My husband ordered a Shocktop beer and enjoyed it enough to order a 2nd one, however he was served a MillerLite instead. By the time the waitress got back to our table it was too late to exchange it for the correct beer. We just let her take it back. The service is horrendous. Place looks kinda dumpy and dirty. There are, however, some interesting pictures and wall hangings to amuse yourself with while you wait for your server to show up.
Review Source:This place used to be a family favorite of ours back in the day. Â NOTE: Â BACK IN THE DAY. Â Now I don't think it could get any worse. Â DONT EVER order a soda or water (anything from the gun) because it will taste just like the inside of the pipes, which I'm willing to bet haven't been cleaned since the new owners bought it...5 (?) years ago. Â Not only can you not drink anything non-alcoholic, but your service will most likely make you want to walk out and the food is less than satisfactory now. Â The new owners took most of our favorites off the menu and cut corners with the rest (I'm fairly certain to save money - there's evidence of this all over the place in there). Â For how much I used to love coming here for some wings, beer, and football; I hate it that much now. Â Save yourself the time, frustration, and money - drive a few minutes up the street and go to The Westy instead.
Review Source:Good neighborhood bar. Â Too bad PA still hasn't banned smoking in bars but, what can you do.
Their wings are quite good, they have lots of TVs, and a pooltable that opens late in the evenin. Â Sizeable after-work crowd of construction worker/mechanic types makes for a very casual, sports-bar atmosphere.
A few older folks and families come here for dinner, which seems a little weird, but I guess it's the only TGI Fridays-style restaurant anywhere near here.
Anyway, grab a pitcher of bud light, inahle some wings, watch the game, and embrace your roots.
