Can anyone recommend a decent, casual restaurant in the vicinty of the movie theater at 30 North 2nd Street? I’ll have about an hour and a half to kill with a friend tomorrow night before a movie. I’d like to keep the cost under $20 or so, exclusive of drinks. Any suggestions?

Let’s move this from IMHO to Cafe Society and give it another shot, o.k.?

[This](http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/663863) chowhound post mentions [Judy’s on Cherry](http://www.judysoncherry.com/dinner.htm), which might fit the bill. Google maps has it two blocks away from your theater.

Never been to Reading before, but chowhound’s recommendations aren’t too bad, in my experience.
