    Middle of the Road
    Rob K.

    My family and I went to Lu Lou's on a Saturday morning. We arrived around 9:45 and were promptly seated. The restaurant is quaint and attached to Janoskis Farm, with a country feel. Restaurant is very clean. I had the middle of the road as pictured. My breakfast was excellent. My youngest son had chocolate chip pancakes which were very light and tasty, my wife and oldest son enjoyed their meals. Price point is fair, reduction in star is from time to serve. It was over 20 minutes for us to receive our meals and it wasn't very busy. I would definitely return.

    This place offered some delicious comfort foods after a long day of hiking at Raccoon Creek! Our server - Kenidi - was polite but failed to make us aware of the specials. I inquired about an item that was on someone's table but not on the menu and was informed that it was today's special. I ordered it, so definitely would have been nice to know upon being seated. The smoked wings were juicy, tender and full of flavor. The hot roast turkey sandwich was everything I hoped it would be! I wish my plate had been served with more mashed potatoes, but the turkey and gravy were very well prepared. I rarely order soda with dinner, but this time I ordered Cherry Pepsi and it paired well with my meal. Thought about having ice cream for dessert, but they were closing up the containers and turning off the case lights at 535pm. Also didn't ask if we were interested in ordering, even though we were both looking at the flavors. The decor is unique. Just focus on how delicious the food is and you'll walk away smiling!

    This place is just ok. We were in the area and just so happened to check Yelp and see it was nearby. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 2. We were seated quickly, as the restaurant wasn't very busy. Seems like a place that the locals probably love. The service was lackluster. It felt very rushed. The food came out quickly which was good. I saw another review state that this place was clean. Definitely not, at least by my standards. The dining area where the ice cream station is... the table we sat at had thick cobwebs above it. The fake plants also have cobwebs hanging from them. The wall and window next to our table had dirty child handprints smeared all over. The bathroom was relatively clean, thankfully. The food was just ok. I got a Reuben and my husband got the Joe Joe sandwich. The Joe Joe reminded me a little of a Primanti's sandwich. The Reuben was packed with meat and came out steaming hot, but I was disappointed as there was no thousand island dressing on the sandwich (how can you call it a Reuben without the dressing?). The fries were alright. I was considering trying a scoop of ice cream, but our waitress brought us the check without even asking if we wanted anything else or if we even liked the food we ordered. Overall not impressed, but we would maybe go back if we were in the area and really hungry.

    What looks like a hole in the wall dinner is actually of the best places to eat in the area. It's located directly across from Janoski's farm. I didn't expect much when I walked in. But looking at everyone's dish - wow it was a shocker! Everything looked FRESH, clean, and the portions are VERY generous! I got the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was one of the best I ever had. Chicken was cooked to perfection, lettuce crunchy and fresh (the way I like it). My mom got the Rueben and said it's the best she ever had (if you knew her, you would know what a high compliment that is). We didn't order a salad but the tables around us did and they looked delicious so we want to come back to try that. There is seating outdoor on the porch and indoor (mostly indoor). We went for lunch on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't busy. And thank god because there was only one waitress and she was busting her butt to take care of everyone and she excelled at it. Highly recommend!

    Wow, I'm blown away but this road-side diner Incredible service, diner ambiance and locals. Good is plentiful and abundant The menu is diverse with home cooked diner food and seasonal specials. Beers available. Ice cream and home made cakes for desert. To go soups and catering available. Real potato patch French fries. Can't wait to get the mushroom soup to go!

    Love this place! First time I have ever had a Rueben cooked perfectly! The service was warm and nice. They had generous portions, typical to small countryside restaurants. Rustic look and country hometown atmosphere. Really nice for Valentine's Day lunch. There is a state park nearby for hiking and a farmers market across the street that is awesome!!! Definitely recommend this place for lunch while sampling the local culture and market. Get the Rueben!!!!

    My family came here for breakfast right before we headed over to Janoski's for their fall activities. When we arrived around 8:45am, it was not too busy. Around 9:30 is when people started to shuffle in and there was a wait by the time we left. All of the employees here were extremely kind and aim to please. Our waitress was very sweet and made sure that our coffee cups were always full. We had a party of 6 and our food came out in about 20-25 minutes. My older sister ordered a Belgian waffle with chocolate chips and peanut butter. She absolutely loved it, and so did her fiancé. I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich on a bagel with sausage, and it was also great. The sausage was very flavorful. I got a side of bacon as well. The bacon was not bad either, just a little dry. The only issue we had with the whole meal was with the eggs. For the Big Lou, we ordered the eggs over medium, and they came out very runny and not close to medium. Other than that, there were absolutely no complaints. I hope to be back for lunch one day!

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap

    Detailed Review: Hungry Farmer: 5/5 I'm not normally the type to get a hot Italian sub but I'm so glad I did. This was a whole sub and one of them was the size of my face. Buffalo Chicken Wrap: 5/5 Best buffalo wrap I've ever had. The onion rings were also great. Ranch: 5/5 Overall, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because service was pretty slow and the place generally looked a little rundown. But the food was incredible and I'll definitely be back.

    Omlette
    Courtney F.

    Huge delicious breakfasts! Our eyes were a bit bigger than our stomachs but everything was delicious we couldn't help ourselves! My husband and I each got an omlette (italian and egg white, both delicious)) and shared an enormous fluffy pancake. Meals are definitely large enough to share. Plentiful seating, family friendly. Would definitely go back!

    With less than an hour left in Pittsburgh, I decided to stop at the airport Primanti Bros. I'll…read morepreface by saying it's my first PB experience, so before you come at me with, "nothing's like the original location," chill bro. Although it was crowded, I was able to sit at the bar immediately. I asked for a hazy IPA & the bartender (Emily V.) for a recommendation on a sandwich. Even though she was slammed at the bar, she was quick with a decent beer & told me that "everything in yellow on their menu is what we're known for, but I personally enjoy the Capricola, Pastrami, and one more (that I can't remember)." So, I went with the pastrami & within 10 minutes... Boy, let me tell you... The pastrami was FIRE. French fries in a sandwich is something I've done as a kid for years. But this? This is different. It was intentional, complimentary, genius. Food was excellent, very much worth an $11 sandwich. Over the past six days that I've been in PA, this was my best meal. Beyond that, the atmosphere was great as well. Tasteful music, not too loud & good tunes. Spacious enough to safely tuck away my carry-on at the bar. For an airport location, I was blown away with the food, service, and speed. If you end up at PIT airport, coming here for food may be the best choice you could make.

    I travel through Pittsburgh frequent and this Primanti Bros. location. Service is always good and…read morethe food fresh. Today, however, in the midst of tough economic times, I had a different experience. I was a willing buyer of an upsell to a dirty soda. This is a Coke with syrup in it. It costs twice as much normal soda because of the flavoring. You get one for that. I asked for a regular coke refill and was refused. Mind you, you can buy a soda for 1/2 the price and get unlimited refills. Common sense says a coke refill without syrup should be no problem. The server was brand new and didn't know. Enter Kevin, who joyfully said that the policy said no refills on the 2x priced soda (without the cream syrups). Even though everyone here has unlimited soda, including staff. This is the easiest customer service issue for a good manager to make right. What did Kevin do? He double downed. I asked for a more senior, reasonable person. No such person was here. I asked for the home office email or phone numbers. He told me to look it up myself. Awesome example in front of my family of what not to do. By the way, no voices were raised or scene made. It wasn't worth that trouble. And clearly, the light wasn't coming on for Kevin. I order a sweet tea and then change to unsweetened, according to Kevin, it is a different charge. I know Primanti is better than this. Avoid the heartburn and don't buy the Dirty Soda as it is the poorest value on the menu. The food was fresh and tasty, promptly delivered. Shameful that such a simple and inexpensive thing was left unattended. This locations has a lot of tvs dedicated to the best in sports programming. After a long week away from home, facing a 2 hour delay, it wasn't the experience I was hoping for.

Appreciate this diner was open for a much needed breakfast before a long day of traveling.

While I had no problem getting to the terminal, I arrived 3-1/2 hours before my flight. Not only did I have an espresso martini at 5AM at the appropriately named Martini (review: https://yelp.to/FLBmD_s2iS) but I decided to have breakfast here because frankly it was the one spot that was open earlier than the other airport eateries. I ordered a much needed $2 Coffee (Photo 2) and the $14.88 Western Omelette (Photo 4). First things first, I noticed only later that I was charged four dollars more without any explanation on the receipt. I should have noticed, but did I mention I already downed an espresso martini? The eggs were strangely overcooked with a paucity of ham and a strange texture to the cheddar cheese. Why didn't I rate it one star? The two slices of Italian toast and the crispy home fries improved the dish. Marginally. FOOD - 2 stars...not what I was hoping for AMBIANCE - 2 stars...just an airport space SERVICE - 1 star...was it a mistake or a nefarious act?...check your receipt before you sit down!
