The Friendship Hook & Ladder Fire Company of Boyertown, PA, stands at the corner of Third Street, South Reading Avenue and Warwick Street.
In this photo, you can see Third Street in front and Warwick Street on the right.
I remember going to Friday night dinners at the Hooks almost every week as a teenager. They used to have a fantastic ham steak that was as large as the plate! That was my favorite. And string beans.
Something else they occasionally served was sausage soup, what's locally called "Hookie House Special." (another recipe site). It's sausage, potatoes and beans. Yum! Very good in winter.
The Hooks also serves breakfast. We went a few times for breakfast, and I know other people who go every week and I think they still get a crowd.
My kids love the Hooks because if we go for walks at night, if any of the firefighters are at the building sitting out with the trucks they'll invite the kids in to see the trucks and sit on them. The kids have done that a few times, along with visits to the firehouse from preschool.
