Tack's Sandwich Shop

Great steak sandwich with unique and tasty sauce. Decent fries. Not in the best part of town, best to takeout.

Very good soft roll Tack's sauce Cheesesteak. Tack's has been making very good cheesesteaks since 1946. I am pretty sure this was the kind of neighborhood if it was Daylight I would have locked my doors and kept on driving. I'm glad it was dark. What impressed me the most about Tack's was the young man and woman working there. If you're in the food industry and you're having a tough time finding good people, go to reading and see if these have friends or if you can steal them. Great young people. Great overall experience.

Tack's sandwich shop has no wifi and no parking. They make great tuna melts but you have to specify how you want it. There is a casual atmosphere. Friendly cooks no outdoor seating limited indoor seating and they have delicious cheese steak sandwich. As far as I know as of 2017 they only take cash.

Great tuna and Italian sandwiches. It's great that they offer oil or mayonnaise on these - most don't even ask. Their rolls are very fresh and have a nice texture to them that I really favor.

As another reviewer stated, this is a cash only operation.

Sub par food with blatant desperation for business. The last two times we went in for cheesesteaks the owner actually pleaded with us to spend more money, but when I asked if they have wings they said they only have cheesesteaks and burgers. The fries come in the smallest bag and are soaked in temped oil. The "cooks" make it very clear they don't care for your business and have better things to do.

They have really great food and worker are nice people there menu Short into the point if you can I find nothing on there to eat and you need to go somewhere else but it's a great restaurant

Amazing. Loved it. I'm sure everyone else has already been and knows how good this is but I just went for the first time and am mind blown.

Tacks went extremely downhill ever since the original owner had the place.Stale rolls,i asked for peppers and didn't receive any ,pizza is sloppy,appetizers minimized and burned,customer service poor.A shame for because i looked forward to what i thought was the best sandwich shop in Reading.

this little gem is a nice place to eat food nice atmosphere relaxing area to get a bite to eat

I haven't been here in ages but Tack's is absolutely my favorite Reading sandwich shop. Ironically, when I danced at Berks Ballet, our studio was up the street at the top of 17th and we'd all go down for a cheese steak, fries, and cream soda during our rehearsal breaks. Sounds old fashioned, but it was only a few years ago that every Saturday afternoon you could find a line of ballerinas all perched on the Tack's counter stools relishing a greasy lunch that we weren't supposed to be eating! They also make a great tuna or turkey sub, the fountain cream soda is awesome, and there's also an ice cream case full of old school treats. They're in a bad part of town, but little old Tack's is worth it.

Gotta get a cheesesteak! The rolls are always super-fresh, and the sauce puts it over the top!
