A Hidden Gem Worth Leaving the Turnpike For! After making…read morethe drive between Northern Virginia and Ohio for more than 20 years, we couldn't believe we had never discovered Out of the Fire Café before. Anyone who regularly travels the Pennsylvania Turnpike knows how hard it is to find a truly memorable place to eat. This one is absolutely worth the short detour. The atmosphere is charming, the view is beautiful, and the food exceeded every expectation. We had to try their famous mushroom soup, and even though I'm not normally a mushroom fan, it was hands-down one of the best cups of soup I've ever had. The smoked salmon salad was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon Sandwich special, and every bite was packed with incredible flavor. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home and added to what was already a wonderful dining experience. We finished with the Bananas Foster. While it wasn't the tableside flaming presentation you'd find at a fine-dining restaurant, the flavor was outstanding and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. We'll definitely be making Out of the Fire Café a tradition on our future trips. If you're traveling the Pennsylvania Turnpike, do yourself a favor and make the stop--you won't regret it!

The restaurant was not busy at all while we were there.

My coworkers and I were on a work trip and wanted to go somewhere local to dinner. A quick Google…read moresearch brought us here. This was one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. We sat on the patio and Jojo was our server - she was such a sweetheart. I ordered a gin and tonic with infused watermelon cucumber gin (delicious) and the chicken italiano. Chicken was seasoned perfectly, pasta side was incredible, roasted vegetables picked from their garden were delicious. My coworkers got the filet, wagu beef tacos, and the seasonal sweet and sour salad. Everyone left satisfied and happy. So much so that we not only recommended all of our other coworkers to go here, but we came back two days later. When we came back, we ran into our coworkers at the bar. We sat outside on the patio and had another incredible meal once again served by the delightful Jojo. I had many more gin and tonics with infused gin and the wagu tacos. My coworkers got crab cakes, the chicken italiano, and filet. Everyone was once again satisfied and happy. It came to closing time and Jojo locked up the front door, turned on the patio lights, and continued serving us. She let us stay out back talking and drinking for 2 hours past closing. It was such a delightful night and I cannot recommend this place enough. Service was incredible, ambiance was wonderful, and the food was delicious. My coworkers and I came from out of town but we all expressed the desire to come back, have another incredible meal, and see Jojo again. It was only after the first time we went that we realized the important work Major Stokes does for the community. The sustainability efforts and work they do with nonprofits is extremely commendable and only made us love them more. I don't write Yelp reviews, but this place was so exceptional that I had to.

We enjoyed our dinner at The Back Porch Restaurant in Belle Vernon, PA…read more This restaurant is about 1 hour drive from downtown Pittsburgh. We are in town for a wedding. The building is a beautiful mansion Est. in 1806. The mansion was converted to a restaurant in 1975. You need reservations for the upper upscale dining area. We decided to eat in the Speakeasy room located in the basement because it was more casual. Glad we ate in speakeasy room because it was a really nice cave looking room with vintage decor and cool prohibition photos from the 1920s. We enjoyed the Half Rack of char grilled pork ribs with brown sugar, soy and ginger with a side of cheesy scallop potatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the crème brûlée and Kahlua cheesecake. Everything we ordered was excellent!! We had really good service. Check this place out if ever in the area. Happy Yelping :)

I liked this place. It was equal parts ordinary and different. Located in a strip plaza with…read morevarious shopping places, it had the vibe of a local diner but with menu choices that were not-so-ordinary. The service was outstanding -- helpful but not intrusive. The bad news is that because I was meeting a friend that I had not seen in a long time, I was so involved with our conversation that I completely forgot to take menu pictures or even food pictures -- the horror! We started our food adventure here with one of the seasonal specialties -- the "Yammin Kegs" -- which looked like a rather large tater tot -- but made of sweet potatoes with cinnamon and maple. The serving had about eight, a shareable size. They were quite good on their own, but it was the bourbon caramel sauce on the side that turned this into more of a dessert where ordering another was very tempting. For the entree, the seasonal soup and salad, a red pepper and gouda soup and a grilled provolone and American cheese sandwich made with sourdough caught my attention. Although seemingly ordinary, it was anything but that. The soup had enough of a bite from the red pepper to keep it out of the bland, and the sandwich was toasted perfectly with the right amount of crunch to counter the gooey-cheese. I don't know -- maybe it was being together with a good friend and the conversation that made this simple meal stand out -- but it did and that's going to stay with me. This will be a visit-again place the next time I'm in the area.

Food came out quickly, hot and everyone loved their meal. My chicken fried steak was fabulous and the bread the offered seemed to be homemade. It's a dinner in the middle of nowhere but the quality and quantity far exceeded our expectations. Ambiance is what you expect for a place in the middle of small town USA.
