    Chicken marsala, garlic  mashed potatoes and asparagus
    Hyd F.

    This was my first time at By George. My Chicken Marsala was cooked perfectly and the marsala sauce was delicious along with the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable and our waitress was very friendly . Excellent service and food

    Beans  and greens, garlicky good. Black berry sangria, and honey baked carrots.

    Tried it for the first time Nice atmosphere good ambiance. The food was excellent. Will go back again and again, Had the beans and greens. Soo good.

    Meatball bake with gluten free pasta

    So many gluten free options, very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. All staff were moving quick and helpful.

    Pork chop with risotto
    Melville P.

    I discovered this place a few months ago, and it has become our top choice for dining in the Mon Valley area. Located on the edge of Monesson literally minutes from Belle Vernon's Tri County Plaza, it boasts a riverside location with ample parking. Open six days a week, you'll still want a seventh. On my first visit I ordered the Beans & Greens. It was beyond comforting with rich broth, buttery beans, and fresh kale. My fiancé ordered the special fall themed pasta that featured Gorgonzola, candied pecans, and a maple creme sauce that has left us both dreaming of it for months. It was in fact the best pasta dish either of us had ever tasted. The Brussels sprout side dish is spot on and a must try for sprout lovers. On our much anticipated second visit, I ordered the lobster bisque and pork chop, while my fiancé ordered the chicken Marsala. The pork chop was prepared to utter perfection and the accompanying risotto was absolutely scrumptious. The lobster bisque is super rich and eye rollingly indulgent. I licked the bowl. The chicken Marsala was tender, smothered in mushrooms and wine sauce, and was completed by beautifully sautéed fresh vegetables. Give By George a chance and you will not regret it!

    Gyro dip with fresh pita, so good!

    Thanks to my friend Lauren for suggesting this place, we loved it! Everything from the appetizers to the dessert were spot on. Local beer selection, nice portion sizes, reasonable prices, and even local lamb! Restaurant was very clean, and our waitress was super nice. We will definitely be back! Convenient location off of Rt.70 Also, 3% added to credit card purchases, bring cash if you are able to!

    Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken.
    Johnny A.

    Excellent service. Now I can agree with the comments from others. You can be standing there for a few minutes until they pay you any mind to have you seated. But once I was at my table. Service was pretty fast. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. I also had to glasses of angels envy. I would definitely come back again.

    An absolute gem. Makers Mark Manhattan was excellent...elegant single crystal ice ball and perfect balance. Consistent too..both were yummy. At the table we started with the bean and greens appetizer--buttery well seasoned light sauce with fresh bread buns for dipping. Five of us happily shared it until the fight broke out over who would lick the dish bottom. Yep. That good. I had the meatball bake--thick sauce, sausage pieces, sliced pepperoni rings, and cheeeeese that wouldn't quit. Side of pasta. Couldn't finish it--too generous of a portion. Chicken marsala looked wonderful. Shrimp skewer. Berkshire pork chop. Salmon. All perfect. Will make this a regular stop every trip to SE area of Pittsburgh. Best Italian dish in a long, long time. Service was excellent, too.

    This gem did a party of 6 wonders and made one of the better buffalo chicken salads I've had! When traveling with a large group of people, it's always nice to feel welcomed and readily sat and served, even on a night that was fairly busy. The drinks were great - kind of a sucker for a large list of mules and the raspberry mule was really, REALLY good. Not a big person on sweeter cocktails, this was just the right amount of sweet and had to have two. Rarely do I struggle with what to get from a menu, and everything looked fantastic, and all the food that came out of the kitchen looked fantastic. Since my family is from Western Pennsylvania, the offer of a steak or chicken salad with fries or tots in the salad was a most go for and the tots in the buffalo chicken salad was SO GOOD. Croutons whos? The greens were fresh, the grilled chicken was juicy, the tots were crisp and the dressing was SO good. All of my party enjoyed their food and beverages - especially the local beers. Fantastic and hope I get to come back!

    Best restaurant in the area, hands down. Always great service with even better food and drinks. The interior of the restaurant is always spotless. Gyro dip with warm pitas is a must for an appetizer. The menu offers a great variety of dishes at different price ranges and they are always innovating with a few new and exciting specials every week!

    Pork chop, rice pilaf and mixed vegetable
    Vincent T.

    I don't know why I waited so long for my first visit, but I swear that I was really taken aback by how much I enjoyed their food. I had their pork chop, it was well seasoned, and so very juicy, top notch indeed. Rich pilaf and mixed veggies sides accented it very well too. Also took a takeout gyro salad for lunch the next day, and it was spectacular. I highly recommend.

    Ribeye special with horseradish mash and asparagus. YUM!

    Great gyros, a bit smaller than the old days. Kinda disappointed in the hummus. Overall, a nice change from the ordinary in Monessen.

    I see no indication of gluten free (GF) selections on your menu, so what type of considerations do you make for your gluten-sensitive guests? We really look forward to visiting and reviewing your establishment!

    Going to be in the area this weekend with our dog. Would she be able to sit outside with us?

    I'm sorry, we are unable to accommodate pets unless they are documented therapy and/or service animals.

    So good! Everything is good! Excellent service. I highly recommend! Best subs ever! Fresh food! All…read moregood. No complaints. Big shout out to everyone who works there. Not sure of their names but they all get A plus plus. All around a great place to eat.

    I've been to Dominic's several times over the years, but what happened on 10/8/21 was out of the…read moreordinary. First off, they've moved. They are no longer at Lowe's at 200 Sara Way in Rostraver Township/Belle Vernon; they've moved down the road to Val's Beer Distributor & Car Wash. I had a BOGO coupon for a free sandwich (you can get a regular-sized sandwich,...about 6",...or a large). The young man who was behind the counter was busting his rear end working on orders. There was one guy ahead of me who appeared to have ordered two large sandwiches (let's call them what they are,...subs, hoagies, grinders, etc.). Then there was me, then a guy after me. As I order, I notice there are 6-7 large sandwiches already made and wrapped. In a few minutes, some utility company workers roll up,...they apparently pre-ordered lunch. Their total was $64 and some change. The utility company worker pays cash,...and proceeds to give the young man a $1.00 tip. Really? On a $64 order? Sometimes people just...plain...suck. Now, with my BOGO, my order came to between $7.50 and $8.00. I give the young man a $10 and tell him to keep the change. He thanked me for the tip, commenting it was more than what the $64-order guy gave him. He was still "upset" over the chintzy tip he received on the $64 order, so I gave him another $6.00 in an attempt to "restore his faith in humanity." [Ok, it was to make up for the utility company worker being a jagoff (trust me, they make decent money).] As for the sandwiches (we got a pastrami and hot sausage); they were tasty and were flavored well. Both had peppers, onions and cheese. A little on the salty side, but tasty nonetheless. The buns were nice and soft, and fresh as a morning daisy. My only complaint - just wish there was a little more meat in the pastrami sandwich (I'm sure they're bound by some corporate standard). The prices are comparable to a Place like Subway, but taste better. Hats off to the young man working there. Would we go back? No reason not to.
