The bowl of chili arrived literally half full that would not have filled a cup , no crackers , roll or anything whatsoever. I did not want to complain about it to make the kitchen managers day worse. The bill came and I asked " was that little bowl of chili 12.50. She said yes with a smile on her face. I will never return to this establishment.

It's a spacious restaurant that does at times have live music. Family-friendly. Incredible service. And the food...big portions and enough to share. I love the habanero burger. My boyfriend loves the Tony Montana Cuban. The classic mac and cheese is so good, it's like it came from someone's kitchen. Totally scratch-made. Those steak tacos aren't too shabby either, friends!

Examples of menu items are appetizers (e.g., shrimp cocktail and nachos), soups, salads, wings, burgers, flatbreads, entrees (e.g., pasta primavera, chicken, duck, pork chop, swordfish, and A-5 wagyu), desserts (e.g., limoncello and cheesecake), and drinks (e.g., mocktails, cocktails, wines, whiskeys, and beers). My husband and I have eaten here twice--once for lunch last year and once for dinner this year. Both times, we enjoyed the employees' service and the foods. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Passionfruit-Paloma Mocktail - 4 stars - sour. Spring Sangria - 4.5 stars - slightly fruity. Jumbo Pretzel - 5 stars - huge size with beer cheese and mustard sauce. French Onion Soup - 5 stars - This soup had a rich broth, onions, and cheese. Ybor Cuban sandwich - 4.5 stars - nicely crunchy toast with tasty pork, ham, and Swiss cheese and a side of crispy onion rings. Salmon - 5 stars - I ordered this entree both times. The salmon was perfectly cooked and came with flavorful farro grains, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus. Filet Mignon - 5 stars - This 8-ounce steak was cooked mid-rare as my husband prefers. It came with whipped potatoes and his choice of au poivre style (black pepper crusted with bourbon cream).

Excellent Food in a Family-Owned Spot, But Transparency, Noise, and a Few Service Touches Need…read morePolishing (4/5 Overall)** I visited Wexford Public (12087 Perry Hwy, Wexford, PA) recently for dinner with my family, drawn by its reputation as a locally owned, chef-driven American restaurant in the heart of Wexford. Owned by longtime locals John and Melanie Dober, it positions itself as a warm, community-focused spot blending upscale comfort food with a welcoming vibe--think handcrafted sandwiches, premium Black Angus steaks, fresh seafood, flatbreads, and daily specials, all with thoughtful wine and bourbon selections. We were excited for what promised to be a polished neighborhood gem, and in many ways, it delivered. The food was genuinely great and the clear highlight. Our dishes were flavorful, well-executed, and creative without being fussy--fresh ingredients shone through, portions were generous, and everything arrived hot and beautifully plated. It's easy to see why so many reviewers rave about the crab cakes, steaks, and chef specials; the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. This is elevated American fare that feels special yet approachable, and we'd happily return just for the meals. That said, a few aspects fell short and left us feeling the overall experience wasn't quite as seamless as the food deserved. First and foremost, the billing transparency issue was disappointing. They add a 3% bank/credit card processing fee to the check (which adds up quickly on a family dinner), but this isn't disclosed on the menu, at the table, or in any obvious way during the ordering process. There's only a small sign posted outside the restaurant. We only noticed it when the bill arrived, and it felt like an afterthought rather than a clear policy. In an era where many restaurants are upfront about surcharges (or absorb them), this lack of disclosure came across as sneaky and detracted from the otherwise positive value perception. The atmosphere was another mixed bag. The space itself is attractive--soft lighting, comfortable seating, and that friendly "upscale brew pub" energy the owners aim for. However, it was noticeably noisy during our evening visit. Conversations required raised voices, especially as the dining room filled up, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal fully. OpenTable rates the noise as "moderate," but on our night it tipped louder than that, possibly due to the layout or lack of sufficient sound absorption. A bit more attention to acoustics could make a big difference. Service was mostly attentive and efficient, but the management interaction stood out in a negative way. When we politely mentioned the surprise fee at the end of the meal, the response was an apology that felt scripted and insincere--like it had been delivered many times before without real follow-through or ownership. It didn't leave us feeling heard or valued as guests. On a brighter note, the owners John and Melanie genuinely come across as lovely people. The restaurant has that personal, homegrown touch you can sense even when they're not physically present, and locals speak highly of them. They were absent during our nighttime visit, though, which is understandable for owners juggling a busy operation--but their warmth is missed when the front-of-house team is handling everything solo. In summary, Wexford Public excels where it matters most: the food is consistently excellent and worth the trip on its own. The family-owned charm and diverse menu make it a strong neighborhood choice for special occasions, casual dinners, or even happy hour in the cocktail bar. However, clearer communication about the credit card fee (ideally on the menu or bill upfront), better noise management, and more authentic handling of guest concerns would elevate it from very good to outstanding. We'll likely go back for the cuisine, but with tempered expectations on the finer details. If you're in the Wexford area and prioritize great American plates, it's still a solid recommendation--just check the small print before you pay.

It's always weird to me when the mash potatoes are scooped out like you're at an institution. Smash them down a bit, just a suggestion. My wife got the chicken with risotto. Good chunk of chicken and a fair amount of risotto but woah.... Salt blast!!!! That's really my only gripe. I think a lot of restaurants just use too much salt. This is one of those. Food can be good without using so much of it. The service was friendly. The restaurant is clean, including a spotless restroom, and very nicely decorated in the dining area. They have no shortage of craft beers and other drinks. Overall, it's worth a try....

Thick, rich, indulgent... basically dessert doing the absolute most. And bonus points for bringing out the extra shake that wouldn't fit in the glass--because no one should be denied that kind of joy. On the savory side, I ordered the cheeseburger sliders with baked beans. The sliders were perfect for snacking--juicy, classic burger flavor--and I loved that they brought out a plate with lettuce and tomato on the side so you can build it your way. Thoughtful touch. The chili was zingy, rich, and packed with flavor. Great food, fun vibes, and staff that clearly gets it. Burgatory continues to deliver, and I'll absolutely be back--probably sooner than I should be.

We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with another couple about local restaurants we haven't tried. We saw pictures of the cheese sticks so wanted to try them. At 6:00 they were out of them. We got the pretzel sticks and they were decent. I ordered the fish which looked great on the person's plate next to me. At 6:30 I was told they were out of fish. The bartender explained that they hand bread the fish and their takeout orders are very large. I'm not a business genius but if you run out of product at 6:30 you have a planning problem. 9 p.m. I can understand. The final straw was it took over 48 minutes to get a cheesesteak hoagie and a buffalo chicken sandwich while waiting at the bar. When we asked how much longer the bartender got snippy and said we waited a while to order and he'll check his order clock to see. My time was from when we ordered the food and not when we walked in. We got the food and took it home. A family next to us left with us because after 20 minutes they still didn't get their drinks. The steak hoagie was chewy and my sweet potato fries I paid $4 extra for were limp and soggy. All 10 of them. We won't be back. Positive note, we will be trying the restaurants from our conversation with the couple next to us!!
