    cup of House Coffee

    awesome giant space for a coffee shop. Cup of coffee was quality and the chai latte was well made! Easily connected to WiFi and put in a work shift for a couple hours. Clean restrooms. Easy street parking outside. Enjoyed it. Thank you!

    Great and friendly service! The inside was very cozy, and we loved sitting by the fireplace. Maybe wish there was a scannable menu, it was hard to see the menu posted. Our drinks were also excellent.

    Service was great. Great view of the shop from above as I sipped coffee upstairs. Thanks guys!

    A yummy Dagwood sandwich!

    My husband and I had lunch here today. It was terrific! My husband had a Dagwood sandwich which was so large he couldn't finish it. I had a chicken wrap. Both were yummy. Also we each had a cup of the house blend coffee. It was delicious! Their muffins were too tempting. We shared one with chocolate chips. The staff was super friendly. The decor in the cafe was very inviting. Today we ate outside on the front porch because we had our dog with us. He was given a couple of dog biscuits and a nice bowl of water. We wish this cafe were closer. We'd go once a week. If you get to Johnstown, PA don't forget to eat there

    Live music, Saturday night. Open until 10pm...don't know why yelp says it's closed on Saturdays.

    Great food, service and eclectic vibe. Bright spot on an otherwise gloomy Saturday am.

    I'm going to be honest, I have drove past this unassuming building in Johnstown for years without…read moreeven knowing it wasn't deserted, but that it was diamond in the rough. In this part of Johnstown, it definitely is a rough area. Parking is either on street or across the street in a gravel parking lot beneath a billboard. If you do park in that lot, do be carful crossing the street as it can be a busy one. Plus there is a slight curve that a driver might not see you while your rush across the street. Once inside you can tell that it lives up to the bar and grill in its name. It has this look inside that gives off this 80s dining vibe. One that calls back to those eateries once found in the mall. You know, those ones where it's almost too dark to see yourself let alone the menu. One where it is very dark wood, heavy on the brick, and all things that make you feel like your in and old time inn. Once settled at a table, we had our menus in hand and were given some time to look them over. Our server came back, took our drink orders and left us for a few more minutes to finalize our decisions considering the menu. Once we decided orders were place and we just waited for our food to come out. It gave us time to look around the place and take in our surroundings. When we first got here, there weren't many people. As we ordered, there were more and more customers that came in. Filling up the tables and making it feel warmer. We were in the midst of conversation and our food came out. I ordered the Franklin Street Bar & Grill Famous Meatloaf. This comes with a slice of the thickest homemade meatloaf I have ever seen. Plopped on top of a pile of mashed potatoes then topped with fried onion rings and smothered in brown gravy. This thing, even though not exactly as described and pictured, was delicious. Not sure if it is fame worthy as I have never heard of it, but hey, I will make sure to remember this when in the area again. To note, entrees are served with your choice of soup, salad, or applesauce, and comes with a homemade dinner roll. The service here is stellar. They all go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and their memory is like a vice grip. One thing you do need to keep on your toes about here, watch your step. With the dimness and small step ups, it would be easy to trip. They do have signs everywhere, but they can be hard to spot if you aren't aware of your surroundings.

    Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We sat at the bar for quite a while before…read moreanyone acknowledged or greeted us, even though the restaurant was not busy at the time. While we were eating, several staff members were having loud and inappropriate conversations with each around the bar area, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable and unprofessional. The most concerning issue was with the food allergy handling. A friend in our group has celiac and clearly informed the waitress that he needed gluten-free food. He was told that both the wings and fries were gluten free, but after eating, he became severely sick, indicating there was likely gluten contamination or misinformation about the menu items. For someone with celiac, this is a serious health issue and should be treated with much greater care and attention. Overall, the service, professionalism, and allergy awareness were far below expectations. I hope the restaurant takes these concerns seriously and improves staff training and food safety practices moving forward.

    Ended up here before a concert at the War Memorial because we couldn't get into our first choice,…read moreScott's by Dam. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us after a few minutes. The hostess mentioned that service would be faster if we chose the buffet since we told her we were going to the concert. We arrived at 5:30 and the concert was at 7:00 so we thought we had plenty of time. We ordered cocktails and our food at the same time. I opted for the buffet, which I could access immediately, and my friend chose a Caesar salad and a cup of soup. We waited about 20 minutes for the drinks to come and thought maybe they'd bring her food at the same time. But that didn't arrive until 6:20. For a cup of soup that they scooped out of a pot and a simple salad. Unfortunately the salad was inedible when it came because the romaine was limp and drenched in dressing. To their credit, when my friend pointed out that she couldn't eat it, the server immediately offered to take it off the check. We eventually got out of the restaurant at 6:45 with enough time for our 5 minute walk to the venue. The buffet was okay, nothing stellar. I knew going in that buffets aren't going to be as good as off the menu items, but I took a look at it before I ordered and thought it would be ok. It was only $17, so it was not a expensive gamble. Nice salad greens tossed with Cucumber, tomato and red onions plus some pickled red cabbage as a topper. Hot foods were mashed potatoes and gravy, fried chicken , Swedish Meatballs, and mixed sautéed vegetables. It was all good tasting and I was satisfied with it, just not wowed. My friend thought the soup was more French Onion than French mushroom. But she liked the ooey gooey cheese on top. Our cocktails were from the seasonal menu and were probably the best part of our meals. I had a Harvest Star and she had a Pilgrims Punch. Mine was bourbon based and hers, tequila. And for $7.00 very well priced. Because of the lag in service and the poor quality of the Caesar salad, I am rating this a 3 star experience. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. The decor was typical hotel restaurant, low lighting and spacious seating areas.
