I eat here often, food and services are usually great. Lately it's been a crap shoot with service. Maybe it's a staffing issue like everywhere. Was there the other evening and waited over 5 minutes and nobody acknowledged my existence. Not even a "I'll be with you shortly " so, I left with 3 other people with me. Again, great place, good sandwiches, only lately some service problems. I will go back soon. read more

Stopped there Friday and had the fish dinner. One of the best I've had in quite a while. The reason I enjoyed the fish so much was because it was HADDOCK my favorite fish. Fresh, great batter and an ice tea that was also fresh. The service was great. I will definitely go there again soon. read more

Excellent food and service. We had a great meal, didn't feel rushed, and will definitely return!

The food was very good, but meanwhile the service was not as good as the food was. I would definitely recommend their pizza

Food was okay. Service was horrible it 1 hour and 30 minutes to get our food. Ambience was okay.

Great food. We've been coming here for about 10 years now. Lindsey is always very courteous.

This restaurant feels like a blast from the past walking in, but boy do they have amazing food! The building used to be an old Pizza Hut, and still feels like it, which isn't always a bad thing. Booths and tables are available for seating as well as a full bar area. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our time there. We ordered the kickin chicken dip to start out as our appetizer. I'm a sucker for a good Buffalo chicken dip, they definitely put their own spin on it. The fried pitas were to die for. For my entree I went with the hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. The sandwich itself was huge! I really don't know where they found bread that big. The mashed potatoes were homemade from redskin potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious. They also know how to make a good drink here. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped fir lunch on a Monday and the place was packed. Only one server in the bar/dining section and she was awesome! She was hustling and kept everyone happy. The burgers were big! The fries were crispy too. Seems like a hidden gem, definately worth a try! read more

Listen if you want take out on the weekend, skip this place. They disconnect the phone so you can't call in. The food is great but can barely get ahold of them. The Greek pizza is one of my favorite things in the Pittsburgh area. Definitely a place to try but maybe during the week day. Also the curly fries and ranch are a must have. I usually only do take out so I can't really judge on the service. read more

I lived across the street from here several years ago. I have always thought their food is great, and it was just a cool place to hang out. We moved kind of back to the neighborhood so we stopped in one night last week for last minute dinner. The restaurant hasn't changed a bit. The dining room and bar area are small, so this place gets packed quick. As soon as we arrived there was a sign on the door mentioning they were short staffed and asking customers to be patient. I will say that our food took a very long time to make it to the table, but with everything considered we knew we had to be patient. The food was great, as always. We ordered wings, a burger, and I had the fish dinner. I was pleasantly surprised with the white fish, it was very tasty! P.S. don't forget to order curly fries while you're here, they're great! read more

Food is excellent. Good selection. Good service and nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Got there early and was able to get a seat at the bar. Bartender was fast & friendly. My friend ordered the steak wrap & said it was great & the meat looked fresh. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and it was absolutely disgusting! This was obviously a frozen patty with a teaspoon of hot sauce on top. Cheese wasn't melted. I will never eat here again due to the low quality food .. especially for the price! read more

I had never been here before, but I went on a whim today with three other people and it was a great experience!! The service was awesome, and the food was great. We had a munchie platter to start and it was delicious. We also got wings for dinner and those were good too! Maybe a little too buttery but good. The bottled seasonal beer was good and also VERY reasonably priced. ($3.50 for a bottle of Oktoberfest, not bad!!) 9/10 would recommend! (-1 for the wings) I will return! read more

We tried Castle tavern bc we had never been there before and always drove past. We came in for a late dinner Saturday. There was a bit of a wait but not too bad, I ordered the Philly Steak hoagie and my fiance had the chicken wrap. My hoagie was PHENOMENAL. The bread to meat ratio was perfect. We will definately be back again! Great place for a casual dinner. read more

This place I didn't really like at first.. However it grows on you. Then tend to get busy and sometimes you have to call and call. I've called as many times as 25-50 times to get someone on the phone. At the end of the day I think they have some of the best food in the area. It's one of my favorite local places. We just ordered here today, appear to order here least once per month. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is always good. If you dine in, they have 6 packs to go, they did have outside eating during the pandemic. It's all inside, small bar area, and seating. It used to be a Pizza Hut back in the day. I'd recommend visiting here if you're from or not in the area. The Steak and Cheese is my favorite. read more

It's fine. If you're looking to feed your inner trash panda, this is the place for you. It's cheap, fried, cheap, and fried. The place could be cleaner. Very dusty. Friendly staff. read more

Visited on a Saturday around lunch time. Crowd was fairly light. We were seated almost immediately and drink orders placed. Once our meals were ordered, my soup was delivered quickly. However, it took about 25 minutes for our hoagie and wrap to come out. My wife's food was wrong and we notified our server. Again, it took over 25 minutes for the reorder to come out. Of course I had finished my meal while waiting. Server kept apologizing and saying it should be ready soon. It wasn't. We ended up asking for the food to be boxed. We've only been here a few times and every time the food is slow coming out. Other than the wrong order and delays, service was good. My hoagie was very good, although the fries were on the cool side. read more

Worst dinner I've ever had at Castle Tavern and worst meal I've ever had at a restaurant period. Ordered the special - stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes. After waiting an hour for the food, the stuffed cabbages were floating in runny mashed potatoes. Everything was surprisingly tasteless - the cabbage, the meat, the tomato sauce. Couldn't eat and disappointed. read more

Love the food but I frequently have issues calling orders in. They must be busy during dinner time and unable to reach the phone. I'd love for them to implement an online ordering system. read more

We have had hoagies and in my opinion they are the best around. Salads are good. Pizza is good. Very busy so go early or late.

First time I ate here it was just ok that was about 5 years ago.Decided to give it another try and the food there was so good.First time I had a hamburger and it was cooked perfectly to my med rare taste and large with lots of fry's.Went back tonight and had a nacho and broiled haddock with mashed potatoes and green beans all was so great and the prices are so much lower than the Trolley Bar which I would consider to be their major competitors.As we were leaving we noticed the waiting line and it was packed up.So if you decide to stop there on weekends I suggest you get there early read more

My wife and I thought we would do takeout , get some pasta , a salad, maybe some appetizers, she proceeded to call and dialed the phone 44 times with one time it actually went through, it rang 15 times then was disconnected, seriously this is not the first time it's happened, Gills Cafe got our business for the night read more

Service is crap! The bartender is also the waitress for 12 tables! Horrible service . Most of food I have had was good but the hoagies are horrible. Tiny , skimpy meat and stale bread . Never again. The place is clean though. read more

Actually surprised at this place. Went here when they first opened and it was awful. Since co-vid this has been my spot. I really like their buffalo chicken wrap and their wings are pretty good too. Decent service as the girl at the bar is really friendly! read more

Wow! We have driven by this restaurant several times and always see it packed. We went here tonight and are so impressed. Dave our waiter was attentive and personable. I got the antipasto salad, which was one of the best I've had. My husband had Italian sausage sandwich, my mom had the grilled chicken salad, and my dad had the burger. The beer selection was great. We were extremely impressed and will definitely be back. read more

Our server, Carly was miserable when me and my friends went to eat there on Wednesday night. This place is our go-to spot. It's so close and they have really good food. She doesn't seem like a people person at all. She probably shouldn't be in the industry then. Try the food for sure! Just avoid Carly. Get someone else as your server maybe or just order takeout ! read more

This place is only two mins from my house! Everytime I order takeout everything is yummy and my order is always correct! The staff are always super nice!! Would recommend! read more

I've had multiple issues trying to contact them in the past where their phone always went to a Verizon msg. When i asked they claimed to have no explanation or awareness. Tonight after 62 attempted calls I stopped in. They again tried to blow me off. I held up my phone display and got call. They finally admitted they take the phone off the hook often. Sorry but I'm done. Not only do I think that's crappy but they lied to my face. Twice. Dishonest service is unacceptable. I will never ever choose them again. read more

Worst experience yet. Ordered Buffalo Bleu Burger w/lettuce, tomato, and onions. I paid upcharge for onion rings. Wrong. Onion rings swaggy, burnt. Burger no lettuce, no tomato, & no onions. Cold food because they don't know how to judge correct pickup time. They quoted me 25 mins. The temperature of the food indicated 10 mins for pickup. Forget it. Not worth anyone's time.. read more

I will usually go here when out with my mom and sisters. I find the place to be OK. I love the Onlito's Pasta but the rest of their menu is average. We always get treated real nice by one of the servers but since we all went to school together that is no surprise. lol The real goofy part now seems to be now that the ORIGINAL Castle Tavern has shut down that this one is still called Castle Tavern South. .... Oooooooookay. .... Whatever. Pricing is reasonable though. read more

Just got back from there and all I can say is wow. I ordered a hot sausage sandwich. It was supposed to have cheese, onions, peppers, and sausage. I get something back with mushrooms added (I hate them) and fries melted into the cheese. Not at all as depicted in the menu. I asked for the menu to double check that I ordered correctly....I did. The kitchen staff couldn't follow the menu. We then ask to talk to the "manager" . Our waitress approached him while he was sitting at the bar. The super genius looked up from his drink long enough to express he didn't care. What he wasn't aware of is that I was sitting right behind him and watched the whole interaction He then ran outside to smoke with his buddy while the waitress handled it. If you own this place, find a manager who will do more than drink and hang out with friends. This was like a bar rescue episode. Bottom line, bad food, a wait staff looking for leadership, and a worthless "manager". Honestly who shrugs off a customer and leave a waitress to deal with it? All I wanted to do is tell the guy the waitress was great, and the menu didn't reflect the food. Hope the cigarette and drinks were worth the review. read more

This past May I graduated college and moved to an apartment right across from Castle Tavern South. Being a recent college grad, of course I wanted a place to go unwind and have a few beers and some wings. Naturally, I walked across the street and found this place. It's built inside of an old pizza hut, which gives it a unique feel. They have a pretty solid selection of beers that rotates monthly and include many local pittsburgh breweries, like Church Brew Works and Rivertowne. They have pretty good selection of food, its all reasonably priced, the kitchen is open late and the staff is super friendly. What I liked most was their wings. I had the garlic parm wings and they were great! The wings themselves had just enough crisp and were smothered in a delicious sauce. They also have some daily specials that include a quarter pound burger and fries for $3. You just can't beat that. Other than their wings and beer, there really isn't much other reason to go here despite their best attempts at being a full restaurant. I do , however, do quite often to pick up a six or twelve pack- which they have a large selection of. read more

We came here tonight for the first time and had a large group (8 adults, 8 kids.) I called ahead and even though they don't take reservations, they were very nice about accommodating our group. When I arrived, 2 tables were waiting for us and we had 2 waitresses assigned. I wish I could remember their names, because they fell over themselves waiting on us. Best service I've ever had, no exaggeration. Drinks were replenished before we could ask, and every request was happily honored. The food was delicious, too. We started off with the appriopriately-named killer fries. I had the sirloin steak wrap, and the steak was cooked perfectly (I asked for med-rare.) My kids liked their food too. My bill was $40, and that included 3 beers. We will definitely be back. read more

Built inside of an old Pizza Hut this place has a weird feel to it. It's certainly clean but it has a very bland atmosphere. The beer selection is slightly above average, but the prices were very reasonable. Tried the jerk wings and they were fantastic, but the fries weren't that great. Service wasn't great It took a while to have our order taken and it wasn't that busy. But to be fair when my order was taken the staff was always extremely kind and our food came swiftly. Wing night is definitely worth going for but outside of that there are definitely better bars in the area. read more

First time here. Small place, but nice atmosphere. Bar food and great sandwiches. Good selection of draft beers. I have to say, excellent service. I will definitely return. read more

This is great bar food with unique pizzas and mouth watering burgers! My family loves this place and the staff are always nice and attentive! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered take out and was not disappointed! Sandwiches and wraps were excellent. It's the buffalo chicken wrap and the chicken fajita wrap both had a little kick to them. The fries are extra crispy but not seasoned (even though the kinda look like seasoned fries). No complaints on the fries, just pointing it out. read more

Always excellent service and food is great. Especially wings. Usually eat here at least once a week.

I have eaten at Castle Tavern for the last time. I tried, really, I tried to find one thing on that menu that was worth ordering and perhaps worth 3 stars. It does not exist. The Castle Tavern South is a bar and they should stick with serving drinks. The final taste at this establishment was of eggplant parmesan. Although the eggplant was bitter it was the sauce clearly from a can without much, if any, manipulation that has broken the proverbial camel's back. Come on, add some sugar to take away the tin taste and some spices, peppers, onions something! Regrettably, nothing! I have tried their hoagies, their alfredo sauce, their soups and their salads and, frankly, there are much better places nearby for all of the above listed fare. Although the wait staff is nice they rarely remember special requests. And they get out the little floor sweeper and regularly clean the whole restaurant all around you right while you are eating. This task needs to be saved for the end of the night but, it has occurred without fail when I am there! This place gets a big fat don't waste your time or money! Take your taste buds anywhere else! read more

I wanted to like it here. I was able to get a table right away and got some waters, but then it was as if we were forgotten about when it came time to order. We waited about 15 minutes to order. Then we got 3 seconds to order with our waitress. I decided to try the wedding soup that I heard was really good. There were no noodles in the soup, is that normal for this restaurant? I just didn't care for the soup overall. I also decided to order the pizza dip. It was lukewarm. My fish sandwich was also not what I hoped. The bun wasn't very toasted, it affected the overall sandwich for me. The fish wasn't that fried. I couldn't eat it. Overall the meal was awful. I felt like my server wouldn't have wanted to hear anything about how I didn't like it. My own fault. The only thing that would mad this meal better was 50% off the bill. I won't bother coming back again. I'm just sad I drove out of my way to ruin the night and left still hungry. read more
