I never knew this place existed, but wow what a great meal! We came for a happy hour after work, and it was 3 dollars off any burger. Not sure if this is every Thursday, but it sealed the deal for me! My mushroom Swiss burger was excellent. Lots of mushrooms and the horseradish mayo was a nice touch. My burger was cooked to perfection. Good seasoning too. I got a plentiful side of brussel sprouts with good flavor. I want to come back and try more on the menu! read more

The chicken Romano was very good. Got a baked potato for a side and it was awful. Strange taste and strange color. I did mention to the server. She said thanks for letting us know. Odd reply. read more

Booked this place for my best friend's baby shower. The place was fine but the owners/owner family was awful. We were told to come set up the night before at 9:30. We arrived right at 9:30 but in the event room, a group of the owner's family was sitting at a few of the big tables and would not get up. We were first told we had to wait until they left. After about a half hour, someone finally let us start bringing things in but the family didn't even acknowledge our presence. The waitresses were moving tables around and helping us set up but we couldn't move and arrange the last 6 tables because they continued to sit there. At 11pm I finally asked if we could start moving a few that they weren't sitting at and that we were already there longer than we hoped to be. A woman responded with "oh don't worry, I'll let you stay as long as you want" yet didn't even bother to move. I had hoped to be done and gone before then, so the comment really surprised me, and didnt seem kind but passive aggressive because *we* were disturbing their evening...even though we were just doing what they told us to. It was incredibly rude. The waitresses were lovely, however!. Food was fine, room was very nice. It was weird though, there weren't any trash cans at all in the room. Service was wonderful, the two highschool girls who were taking care of the party were absolutely delightful. Worked so hard and were so kind. The experience the night before was so offputting, it was like the 10 or so people sitting there were annoyed we were there and that we were inconveniencing *them*, but we were just doing what they had instructed us to do. It felt pointed and rude. I would not use the place again for that reason. Otherwise, it was a fine venue. A couple other weird things though: No trashcans in the room at all. Also there was an omelette bar but no bread or toast. Food seemed a bit sparse for the group of 50 people we had. read more

We only ordered wings to go. While wings. We're just ok. The seasoning salt flavor was overwhelming, but let love that they had whole wings

I've driven past many times, but I had no idea how sprawling it becomes inside once you walk past the bar. Obviously a favorite for locals, they serve lots of burgers, fish sandwiches, salads, but also entrees. Their fries are excellent. Our server was extremely attentive. I'm used to a longer craft beer list, but they appear to be updating their choices. They have some large tables to accommodate groups. Although this is a solid neighborhood hangout, you will find many more exciting options closer to the City. read more

After the backhanded response given to my less than positive review, I can say that my family has not once visited your establishment. Responses to experiences can have long term consequences. My (now teen) son mentioned visiting this restaurant for dinner. Normally after this many years I'd be game, but no... I refuse to give another chance. Your response years ago was good for a lifetime. I thought it was significant to pint out that responses do matter, and this is a perfect example. read more

Easter surprise We had Easter brunch today and feel completely disappointed and ripped off. It was the exact same Sunday brunch that they always serve with poor service and food that ran out. The website does note that they have a special brunch and prices may vary. Well nothing at all was special and the prices were DOUBLE with no notice. Seniors are usually $16. Today it was $42 with tax and tip. That is ridiculous. If you are going to up charge two things need to happen; 1- be honest with your advertising. 2- make it actually special with something extra. There was no dessert as advertised on the website and the staff was too busy to get water let alone a different drink. You lost my business forever!!! And the food was not good !!! read more

0 stars if I could I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. My 8-year-old daughter ordered her own meal, and we were surprised to find out we had been charged for an adult portion. When I politely raised the issue, the manager insisted he had made an adult meal--even though it was clear a child had ordered and was eating it. To make matters worse, he actually made me open our to-go container in front of him to prove how much of the meal she had eaten, as if that would justify the charge. It was embarrassing, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. My daughter was humiliated and ended up in tears because she felt bad she ate too much of her meal. There was no flexibility, no understanding, and definitely no customer service. He continued to speak over me. This is not how you treat families--or anyone, for that matter. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to others. read more

Everything from the ambience, the atmosphere the service and the attention from all of the staff !the food was absolutely incredible yet affordable from the appetizers to the entrées I enjoyed absolutely every bite and so did my family we will definitely go back again and again read more

Steak was decent. Ordered baked potato and asparagus with it did not get the potato. Ordered applesauce for my boy didn't get that (eventually we got both after reminding the waitress) Ordered pepperoni pizza for my boy and was delivered a cheese pizza and told "we're out of the pepperoni ones I hope that's ok". He likes pepperoni pizza so he wasn't pleased. Wife's salmon was not totally cooked so she didn't eat all of it (looked to be cooked from a frozen state without thawing). Pop was flat too. Very nice place inside lots of potential just need better service. Shouldn't have tipped but I did like 25% read more

it was ok. service was very slow. good atmosphere but food was just ok. i wouldn't cross it off the list, but i would rush back anytime soon. read more

Excellent service and food was fantastic! Had the chicken Romano and was the best I ever had! Dining area was very cozy, felt like a cabin with a fireplace. Will absolutely return. read more

Ample parking in a dedicated parking lot. Really attractive entrance into this establishment. I really wanted to love this restaurant as a newly discovered, out of the way gem. But the large dining room is fairly sparsely decorated, I did not find the seating particularly comfortable, and the cuisine was uninspiring. Too bad the porthole Windows deprive many diners of what is probably otherwise a pretty good view of the outside. There just wasn't anything particularly great about our experience here and so I don't think we will be back. Perhaps if we lived close by it might be in a regular rotation and we selected the correct dishes. Service was pretty good and the prices were certainly reasonable. But when I go out to eat I'm looking for a little higher quality and a little more culinary entertainment than this place provided. read more

I got the prime rib special. Delicious and reasonably priced! Another visit I got the salmon, also delicious!! Parking is plenty! read more

Seriously cozy place. Beautiful dining room and nice bar. Had the prosciutto arugula pizza and it was amazing and lemon drop martini was perfect. Was there on a Friday night and the bar area was surprisingly empty. We really enjoyed our dinner and drinks and the vibe. read more

Middle Road Inn (MRI) is a local bar/restaurant to me. It "noxs" the socks off all the other area restaurants. We almost eliminated all other local restaurants from our repertoire of eateries. We eat there about once a week for years now. The Burgers, Fish Sandwich, Fries and fried Zucchini are the best anywhere. Rueben's are good, Philly Cheese Steak Wrap excellent. Basically, it is very unusual not be very happy with whatever you choose to eat. Did I mention fries... yep, better than McDonalds, best around. While the bar food is consistently the best, they also serve excellent dinners like Chicken Marsala, Chicken Picatta, Prime Rib and so on. The ambiance is that of a high end bar, with a large restaurant seating separate and behind the bar with a great working fireplace. Behind that there is a covered deck that is super on hot summer nights. Prices are reasonable, actually rather low for what you get. Joe the owner is always in the kitchen making sure the food is consistently good. His dad owns Willies Tavern in Valencia that has been famous for it fish and cuisine since forever which explains why everything is good at the MRI. Many, many years of experience pays off. Give Middle Road Inn a try, you won't be sorry. read more

So years ago I tried Middle road by way of their Sunday brunch. And I was legit underwhelmed. Like what was the big deal? Don't get me wrong, it was fine, but I didn't get some of the 5-star reviews. But more recently we started coming for dinner, and its a totally different experience. - The staff is great. Owner is friendly. And if you're sitting at the bar, you will likely end up striking up a conversation with a complete stranger, as though you've bern buds for years. - the skinny fries, I don't know what it is about them, but they are addictive. And that is not hyperbole. It's a common move for me to just order them as an app for the table. - burgers are amazing. Like maybe top 10 burg in the Burgh (see what I did there?). - the pizza ... yes pizza, really good. The crust is soft and buttery but still has great substance. - and all their prices are reasonable. Great for friends, family and even just drinks / happy hour. The place has a fun neighborhood vibe and it's become a regular dinner spot when we can't decide what we want to eat. And it never disappoints. read more

We had a family event here celebrating an anniversary a few years ago. The staff was very nice and well prepared and the food selection was wonderful as well. Great place to host any event read more

Easter brunch was completely disappointing 2/10 if that. Website says prices may vary, but the price was more than double and no notice at all. They didn't provide a menu when we sat down and pricing wasn't listed anywhere in the restaurant. I was shocked when the bill came. $135 for 3 people who only drank coffee and water with the buffet. The food options weren't that great or different to warrant such an increase. Waitress brought one drink to our table and we never saw her again, but she gave herself an 18% tip for doing nothing. So many people and they ran out of food fast. Staffing and service was worse than the price of the food or the food. They had actual children (maybe 10-12 year old boys) making waffles in the buffet line. The boys were touching the food and wiping their faces and goofing off with each other. It was very unsanitary and unsafe for young children to be working in food service especially during a busy Easter brunch. The woman making the made to order omelets in the next station was constantly yelling at the boys. The boys also delivered the omelets to the tables. I haven't been to a brunch there in many years, but it didn't seem like it was the first one the boys worked at. When I first saw them, I thought "oh cute kind of like a take your child to work day". Then I saw how much work they were actually doing and how they were treated and it wasn't cute at all it was disgusting, unsafe and unsanitary. I would never go back for brunch or any other meal! read more

LoveLy dinner here. We had never been before and we went with friends and had great food and a great cocktail!

Underwhelmed by the Sunday brunch, what looked like overdone chicken Marsala was never even refilled either was the fish. No fruit and pastries like they were taken right out of the refrigerator ice cold! Started off on a bad note by being told even though we had a reservation we only had an hour because it was really busy , don't worry not enough to keep me there for an hour, plus fix your fans if I wanted to smell and feel of bacon I'd of stayed home and cooked read more

The food was great. We got the shrimp scampi and cheeseburger--YUM. The service was excellent. We will return.

I've Sunday brunched here multiple times. Main brunch buffet is simple and high quality (eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, veg, chicken). Bonuses: Made to order omelettes, waffle and carving stations, excellent service, fair prices and a lively, warm, cozy, yet elegant atmosphere. It was absolutely gorgeous during the Christmas season. read more

Sadly todays visit was disappointing and a decline from the quality of previous visits. More attention should have been paid to refilling the empty selections on the buffet. The garden salad & linguini salad were empty for our whole visit. The abysmal looking ziti with sauce was too sad looking to sample Chicken Marsala very chewy. And there is nothing special about Mrs. T's. Pierogis. Do better Middle Toad Inn. read more

What a great place... even during this time they continue to put out delicious food. They have great specials throughout the week and offer curbside pick up. We got the burgers tonight, and as always, they were amazing. Mushroom Swiss being my favorite. Last week we got the wings for the Wednesday Wing special. They were so good, and they were the jumbo ones. Their pizza is one of the best, and we are picky about our pizza. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Wow, 9 years since my initial review. Sad to say the decor has not improved, but the food certainly has! Just GO here and eat! I love the food here. Start off with some fried zucchini-excellent How about a steak salad or cheese steak hoagie or fish sandwich or lobster roll? All excellent. Ditto for the steaks. Great filet. Chicken romano? I have found none better in pittsburgh. read more

Haven't been in maybe 15 years. Liked it then, no real reason we haven't been back. Big bar area, nice enough seating area and great back deck. Everything seemed clean and nice. Went with the wife and we had a couple of wraps which were very good and well priced. Home made chips were very good and large Blue Moon hit the spot on a hot day. Friendly and prompt service made it a great experience. We were very pleased and will be back soon enough. read more

What a delicious place! The food is very basic yet delicious. We enjoyed everything we got. The staff was very friendly and attentive to us. The pricing was very reasonable and the restaurant/bar was huge! The food came out quickly and hot. I think we will make this a place we go to regularly. read more

Love this place. Always great food and service!! We always ask for the server named Gina. She is the best!! Also, Sarah who is a bus-er is so pleasant and on top of cleaning up the tables. We are always greeted with a smile from the lovely hostess. Owners are always there helping the staff as well. read more

The BEST food and absolutely always on point!! They care about their take out customers as much as they care about their dine in customers! It is always delicious, cooked perfectly and nothing is ever forgotten.... Even with take out! Recommend 100%!!! read more

I went here for Sunday brunch yesterday around 10:15. The seats near the buffet were full so we sat at a high top in the bar area. They had a variety of food - from bacon and eggs to pierogies and salad. They also had an omelet station where you could fill out a slip and they were made to order. The Belgian waffles were my favorite part of the whole brunch - they were delicious and you had the options of strawberries, fresh whipped cream, butter, and syrup to top them. The service was just okay - I think they were understaffed like many places are right now. I had to flag down a waitress to refill my water, and the two people I came with never had their coffees refilled. Most people there weren't wearing masks (including people at the buffet) so if this is something you're uncomfortable with, just know that ahead of time. read more

Either the menu is new or there are better cooks in the kitchen than our first visit last year. The food was outstanding. Cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back. read more

We have been meaning to come to this place for a while, and finally got a chance to tonight. We were surprised with how much seating there is inside as well as on the back patio. We started with the nacho grande appetizer, and it was not disappointing. They were served with a lot of toppings, sturdy nacho chips, and delicious shredded beef. It was great not to have ground beef on the nachos like most other places do. I got the French onion soup, which is out of character for me. Usually French onion is too salty for me, but I was chilly (not due to the restaurant) so I thought I would give the French onion a try. There wasn't an overwhelming amount of cheese on top, which I like because I didn't feel like all I was eating was melted cheese in the first few bites. Too my surprise, the soup was not too salty either. Win win! I ordered the penne vodka and added chicken to it. The pasta and the sauce were great, and since we had an appetizer, I was able to save half of my dish for tomorrow. The chicken pieces were a little on the over cooked side for my taste, but the flavor was good. We ended up splurging and buying a piece of the chocolate cake to go. From appearances, the cake looks like it's going to be delicious, but we haven't eaten it yet! Overall, I think we found a new place to frequent that isn't far from home. read more

Picked up Mother's Day takeout this afternoon. To their credit, food looks legit. However; in the current lockdown we are in, and with all the public health recommendations in place, they seemed to completely disregard their customer and employee safety. I called when I arrived, wore a mask in and was greeted by the hostess and cook, neither wearings masks or gloves. Seems like they didnt learn much from their healthcode violations in 2017, which i found after doing more research. Makes me legit sketched out to eat the food. Do what you want, but I'll spend my money at local places that take health and customer safety seriously, not to mention disregarding the PA Governer & Health Secretaries mask order that went in place 4 weeks ago. Wish i would have known about this before i placed the order, would have gone elsewhere. read more

Cool, underrated place for good food, cheap and good beer and excellent live music downstairs. Several very talented musicians work and hang there so even though the downstairs entertainment area isn't enormous, you'll find talented artists performing there and it's an excellent pre/post venue to hang after hardwood acres festivals! read more
