In all the time that I have lived in and around Johnstown, I had never been able to make it here…read more On a recent trip back home I met my sister and her family for a dinner. I'm glad I finally did to check this place of my to try list. From the outside, it looks like a typical hole-in-the-wall bar in the Johnstown area. I had no idea where parking was because every time I drove past here I would be doing it at a pace I couldn't see. I was happy to see that there was ample parking behind the street facing building. Entry from the parking lot takes you up stairs or a zig-zagging ramp that looks fairly new. This area is also connected to an outdoor seating area, can't really call it a patio. Or, you can enter from outside and take the stairs up into dining room. This is a seat yourself establishment. Once you are seated, you are greeted and given menus. What an extensive menu it is. The amount of items on the menu, if you haven't been here before, can be daunting. It took me a few minutes to just give it a once over. When the server came back around to take our drink order she asked if we needed a few more minutes, yes, we did. When she returned I was ready to go. I ordered the Pickle Chips as my appetizer and the Howler as my main. The Pickle Chips were served with a side of ranch for dipping and they were amazing. Perfectly coated, not too much and not too little. Dipping in the ranch cooled them down just enough to be enjoyable. Now, the Howler, is kind of an experience. The Howler is one of their signature burgers. Half-pound patty cooked to your liking. The set toppings on this burger is bacon, choice of cheese (American Cheddar, Swiss, Provolone, or Pepper Jack), meat sauce, and a fried egg. You also can choose to add lettuce tomato onion and pickle. For mine, I went American for the cheese, lettuce, onion and pickle. There really wasn't any need for condiments as there was already so much on the burger to give it flavor. It almost comes off as either a breakfast burger or a chili cheese burger. Although I did as for medium, they overcooked it a bit. What was a nice addition here was the side. You can go with the traditional fries or go for one of many that don't seem to have an upcharge to it. Tater tots, slaw, applesauce, or nachos and one item for an upcharge, onion rings. I went with tater tots. Overall, this was an enjoyable meal. Our service was impeccable. Atmosphere was lively.

This is a place that asks how you want your burger done - so you know it's legit. They have great wings - regular, boneless and full wings to boot! I've had excellent salads here, too - love the peppercorn ranch dressing. We've always had friendly wait staff and solid service. I guess this is a simple review, but it's simply a great place! Give it a shot.

One thing you absolutely have to try is their pierogi pizza--it's easily the best around and such a fun local twist on pizza. Every time we've been there, the food has been consistently amazing.

The wings were nice, thick and juicy. They redeemed the meal. The server was excellent. The bathroom was as disgusting as ever. All three stalls in the ladies room have partially unflushing toilets. And once you got it flushed before using it, the ring around the water looked like it had not been cleaned in days, if not weeks. And the floor was disgustingly dirty all around. And not fresh dirt. Grimey. I went with friends after avoiding this place for years. I worry what the kitchen looks like . Does the same team clean both rooms? The bathroom was just as bad years ago.
