Yeah it's a hotel, but the real deal here here is the bar downstairs. This is old school Pittsburgh…read morestyle with Iron City beer and authentic, hard-working people that are cut right from pages of the Deer Hunter. Prices are spot on and, surprisingly, they have a decent kitchen. I say opt for the hot pepper cheese balls, and the fish sandwich is a nice snack at the bar anytime of day. However, the thing about this spot that sticks with me the most was the conversation between two patrons as we entered the bar: Patron 1: Why I could strangle the life out of you right now. I'd place my hands on your scrawny throat and just squeeze Patron 2: The Hell you say. You couldn't strangle a fly Patron 3: I bet $5 he could...Definitely, if he strangled him from behind Patron 4: You're crazy and you don't even have $5 Patron 1 &2: Hey! That's no way to strangle anyone..You have to do it from the front so's you got leverage....Yeah, don't you know nothing? Patron: Hell, I know I got $5 enough to strangle the lot of you! This went on for several minutes until our bartender, a man obviously experienced in such bar room challenges, put an end to it before there was blood shed. All in all, this was a refreshing change from some of the hipster spots back in VA.

While traveling in Mercer, PA, I stopped by J. Hicks on the Square for lunch. After talking to the…read morebartender, it was learned that they never pre-fry their wings so they're always fresh. More importantly, they fry their wings and beef tallow! Kudos to them for not using sea oils. Being a wing lover, how could I resist? They serve their wings plain and provide you with a variety of their sauces. The wings were excellent - crispy and clearly high quality chicken. The sauces were good, not great. Definitely would've preferred them to be fully sauced.

And again I'm kicking myself. Dinner the wife Zane I had at Riardo's was perfect across the board…read more And me? I've lived here couple years, I drive by Riardo's constantly, just off Washington next to Pagley's, daily. Never stopped in. Until today. And really, really, happy that we'd did. Perfect. Perfect is what folks say, even though they know nothing is truly "perfect", but damn if Riardo's wasn't perfect. It started like, wanted to go to the one place, but remembered me and Linda going there Sunday, so hey, gets good reviews, it's close, and the reviews mention customer service great across the board. It was. Saturday, like after dinner rush but before the "Let's stop here and get a beer and I'm hungry too" bar rush. Because "Bar" is front and center in the name, it's open until midnight (check the webpage or call first) and it's convenient as hell. What I didn't really expect was how good it really is. The interior is open and really welcoming. It's not short staffed, plenty of folks working. Smart, happy, helpful people. And I hope that embarrasses them. I got chicken Marsala. Comes with two sides, I got redskin mashed and a salad w/the BEST balsamic I have ever had in memory, recent and long-term. I never mention a salad. It's green and full of veg. Yeah, but this was great. The chicken Marsala was a sizable portion, breast in tenderloins lightly seasoned floured and served in a rich dark perfectly seasoned Marsala wine sauce. Just the right amount of sweet. The redskins were served hot, in their own crock, and no butter or gravy with it. That wine sauce paired with the potato amazingly well. I usually flood mashed with butter and gravy. THESE mashed were great tasting, but not full of butter like some places use to enhance flavor. These did not need the butter assist. Just. Great. And Linda had onion rings (crisp tempura crust and real onion rings and HOT) with the fried haddock, which I had a bite or two there, and will finish what Linda brought home in maybe ten minutes. Again, hot and tasty. Perfectly cooked. Crispy breading on a thick large haddock filet. The breading sealed the fish, so hitting it with that fork released some steam. Oh, and a crock of Mac and cheese too. And again, great wait staff. I mean, every person there. And the other folks eating there too. I'd have zero issues bringing the kids or Nona and Dadoo here.

I tried red sauce pasta, added grilled veggies, came with garlic bread and soup or salad. I chose a salad with the house , Italian dressing. It was delicious.

******CASH ONLY********…read more The Oak Grove Inn, located on 488 heading towards Portersville, is a small dive bar with an inviting atmosphere, plenty of TVs, and a great selection of beer. It's a popular spot among locals for catching a game and enjoying some delicious wings. I had heard rave reviews about their wings, so I decided to give them a try for myself. Upon my visit, I was pleased to find that the wings lived up to the hype. I ordered the General Alex, which is a combination of their General Tso's sauce and Lickers sauce (not on the menu, but available upon request). The wings were large, cut wings - not small wing pieces, but not whole wings either. They were perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat inside. The General Alex sauce had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, making for a truly satisfying wing experience. In addition to the General Alex, I also tried their garlic wings. These were equally delicious, with a rich, garlicky flavor that paired well with the crispy exterior of the wings. This location is a smoking establishment so please respect this bars right to do as they please. With that said, this location upon both of my visits had very little to no smoke smell in its haul. Pictured left is the General Alex and pictured right is the garlic wings. They come in 10's and 5's. I enjoy watching Steelers games at this location with their many tv's and their delicious wings from time to time. The atmosphere, beer selection, and wings make it a must-visit spot for anyone in the area.

Waited about 10 minutes and just hung up. Called a different night and it happened AGAIN! After about 3 minutes and it had happened before we actually decided to see how long it took and then just decided we would get food from another place. We called somewhere else ordered and went and got the wings and we were still on "hold". It was 48 minutes by the phone when we finally just hung up so we could eat our wings from a different restaurant !! We have never been back. I understand that they are very small but to completely forget you have someone on the phone is crazy and it apparently happens pretty often.
