    I, too, remember Immel's. It was a locally owned store. One of my uncles ran the shoe department in…read morethe basement. As others have pointed out, it catered to women, selling what was then called "better" dresses, undergarments, attractive costume jewelry and perfumes. My mother bought her Cody's Emeraude there. There was a small housewares department on the second floor. When shopping malls began to take business away from downtown McKeesport, Immels opened in at least one of them, but that was not a success.

    My first day back at work in 2 1/2 weeks and I had to head down to McKeesport to do a home visit…read more So I checked out the company car and headed down to the Tube City. Or shall I say the Former Tube City? McKeesport is a former manufacturing city, and since the decline of industry, it always seems like it's trying to pull itself back up. It's downtown is kind of a ghost town. And there are always a few things which catagorize cities like this. First of all, when all else fails, build parking decks and transit centers like McKeesport, Johnstown, and Atoona have. You look at these semi vacant facilities and you have to wonder whether or not they're just space fillers on otherwise vacant land. The other thing you do of course is take wonderful old buildings and slap awful new facades on them in the name of mid 20th Century "modernization". Such is the case of Immel's. I found it while looking for a place to eat. As for Immel's, it looks like it was some sort of department store. Being someone who loves shopping, I wonder what their clientele was. Likely it was a mid-price department store ala Sears or JC Penney. It probably catered to the entire family. You could probably get anything the family needed here--clothes, TVs, furniture, etc, at lower prices than Kaufmann's or Hornes. I'll bet they even had a candy and popcorn counter here too! Maybe even a cafeteria or coffee shop. I've seen pictures of Downtown McKeesport in its heyday. It was a thriving place full of stores, offices, and restaurants. But the 1-2 punch of the fall of industry and the new regional malls like Monroeville and Century III sealed its fate. Even the nearby Eastland Mall fell to changing times.

The food made me feel like I was being hugged. The Blueberry pancakes immediately made me feel like a kid. The service was awesome and I will definitely be back here.

The concept is really cute with sandwich options to choose from, and of course the build your own charcuterie boards! It's a beautiful place with a nice, open interior and comfortable seating outside. I tried the Gouda grilled cheese with tater tots and a side of caprese salad. They also didn't really have iced tea on the menu, but they offered to make me one and it was probably the best iced tea I've ever had! The sandwich was perfectly crispy and buttery on the outside - an element that is very important to me! The flavors were very good also. My only complaint would be that I wish the cheese had been a bit more melted. It wasn't really melted at all, for what I would expect from a grilled cheese sandwich. The tater tots and ranch were very good. There seemed to be some herbs in the tots, which I liked. The only thing I really didn't care for was the caprese salad. It just had an off taste to it and I ended up only eating one bite. All in all, I will definitely go back! It's a great place!
