I stopped in on a Wednesday night for dinner. The place was pretty dead, but the service was excellent. I had the French dip sandwich and chips - was very pleased. Overall, this place is your classic dive bar. I will definitely be back. read more

Rupe's Roadhouse - French Dip - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great spot to watch a game and drink domestic! The vibe in here is super friendly, very yinzer. They have all the domestics on tap and a good variety of bar food. One of my friends ordered the cheesesteak and said it was, "very good". We shared the hot pepper cheese balls. They were definitely crispy and cheesy, but not hot (spicy)! Just fyi in case you're worried about the heat. Definitely get them! read more

Main menu items... Cuban sammie, bacon cheeseburger, and steak hoagie were good. The appetizers we had (fried Mac n cheese balls, mozz sticks, and rupe fries) were good but on the small side. The bartender ran the bar and served us with good attentiveness. We had refills without asking and she was very nice. Good spot for the atmosphere and a sandwich for sure. read more

Rupe's Roadhouse popped into my head when an old friend wanted to meet for dinner and a few beers. My friend is a meat and potatoes, shot and a beer, sort of guy so this fit the bill perfectly. On a Friday Pens Hockey night in Pittsburgh, this place gets jammed. We bellied up to the bar that was filled to capacity. The bartenders were pretty good about servicing everyone although a little on the slow side. No matter since the two women were friendly and we were busy catching up. Their beer selection is pretty decent and I tried a Vanilla Porter on draft that was just tapped and really fresh. It was so good. My friend ordered up some Hot Thighs to start. These are chicken thighs with garlic and sauce on them. He really enjoyed them and had enough to take home and share with his brother, who also really loved them. He ordered the gyro and said it was very tasty. I had the Reuben that came served with a big knife plunged into it - must be a culinary trend here because that happened to me recently at another place with a cheesesteak. Don't kill the sandwiches, people! I opted for fries instead of chips and was glad I did. The fries were fresh and hot. This is a super cozy local tavern with decent food and friendly patrons. We were impressed that the owner/manager came around to ask how the meal was even though it was so crowded. He seems to really be trying to build the food side of his business and has recently added Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday brunch/breakfast from 9-12, which I may have to try (they need to post a menu for breakfast online). read more

Horribly slow service -- it even took the server about 10 minutes to bring my credit card . Food was bland. Wasn't very welcoming to me and my partner. read more

This place has the best gyros in western PA I that I have ever had. Really good cucumber sauce. Really good fries too. Gotta stop if you are in the area. read more

I've been driving Camp Horne Road regularly, (or as regularly as PennDot will let me) for almost five years now. There used to be a little hole in the wall called Mark's on one of the turns. The only reason I remember it was called Mark's was because my boss at the times name was Mark. There wasn't much else memorable about the sad building. But now, WOW. They have done so much to revamp that place. New exterior, new entrance, and although I can't speak to the old interior, this is really nice! They have a nice sized bar, and plenty of high tops and low seaters. Tv's abound, but it's not super noisy. In traditional Pittsburgh style, memorabilia and jerseys are framed throughout the dining room. Rupe's had a Groupon going, and for $10 for $20, I decided to treat my parents one night. Dad is a creature of habit, and got the fish and chips. Mom got a pepperoni flatbread, and I tried the gyro bowl. So. Much. Food. Dads fish was baked, really well, just the way he likes it. Mom shared her flatbread with everyone, and I thought it was really good! Crisp and cheesy. What more can you ask for? And my gyro bowl? Amazing. Lettuce, fries, tomato, and more lamb than I knew what to do with. I had to eat the whole thing. (Shame, shame) Service was good, considering it was happy hour, and we weren't consuming alcohol. We didn't need to ask for refills, and I'm pretty sure everyone working in the bar that night came and brought us napkins and asked how our meals were. Nice! They just launched a new Groupon, and you bet I'm gonna get another one! Happy Eating! read more

We want to love Rupe's Roadhouse and that is why I give it four stars. The truth is not as easy. For diners who are NOT regulars or friends of the owner: Ambiance. First date? Looking for a dining experience? Go somewhere else. You won't get laid or a second date. Consider fast food and West End Overlook (is that still a thing?). Married? Your spouse does not want to eat here. Too dark, too loud, sticky tables, regulars who will give you the side eye. One star. Dining in. Unless you are a middle aged, blue collar booze lover with a lot of time to kill this is probably not your destination. The tables are sticky. The room is dark even when it is bright and sunny outside. The regulars are there and probably looking at you in a way that makes you uncomfortable. The television volume is guaranteed to be too loud. They are understaffed and they probably do not care about attracting new customers. I may have been able to dine in once or twice. Two stars. We aren't regulars. Take out. We've successfully ordered from Rupe's Roadhouse. Don't bothering to order online because it won't work. Call and try to shout your order to whoever answers or go in and order face to face. The fried fish sandwiches are among the best in Allegheny County. Worth your trouble. Will they get your order right? Probably not. Don't be a picky eater and accept that you may or may not get cheese or tartar sauce vs cocktail sauce. I would give six stars for the fish. Pricey and worth it. Generally speaking, I've never had a bad meal from here. Salads are great, sandwiches are great. This is where the place excels. Delivery? One star. Online ordering does not work. See Take out (above). Best to go pick it up yourself. Besides, how will you get stared at by the regulars if you opt for delivery? For Diners who are Regulars: Food is great, you're not in a rush, have a few beers or cocktails while your order is being prepared and have a great time staring at the strange people who wander in while catching up with your neighbors and coworkers. Five stars! read more

I stopped by here last Tuesday with my father for lunch. We had both driven by this location before and never really thought anything of it until recently whenever they began advertising an "authentic gyro" on a sign outside. We arrived at the restaurant shortly after 11 AM to find the place pretty deserted. My father and I even wondered if it was open until we saw the hours on the door. Still we were the only people there whenever we walked through the door and I began wondering if we had made a mistake. While Rupe's is less than impressive on the outside the inside is actually quite nice. They have a giant U shaped bar with seating all around it and a number of TV's to watch. For lunch I decided to go with the reason that my father and I had headed there, a gyro while my dad made a game time change and went with the fish sandwich. As we were waiting for our food more patrons started coming in and by the time we had left Rupe's there were a number of tables filled with business men and women. My gyro came out with a side of salt and pepper kettle cooked chips. It tasted quite nicely as the lamb meat was nice and juicy and I enjoyed everything else on it. My only complaint would be that the one side was a little bit on the dryer side since the tzatziki was all on one half of the sandwich. My dad also enjoyed his fish sandwich even though it was a bit on the smaller side and he said that he would eat there again. The bottom line for me is that I will head back to Rupe's again in the future. I am actually planning on taking my wife down for a happy hour and some food in the near future. read more

Absolutely nothing fancy, but stands out in its category. Is it a dive? Not really. The bartender was friendly and she made a good Bloody Mary. We ordered a Cuban sandwich, that had plenty of meat and was delicious. Best Cuban sandwich we've had in Pittsburgh (even if not done on a grill press). Great Gyro. We WILL go back. Patio games in the back on Sundays. read more

My family ordered delivery and the food was pretty good. The delivery was fast and the food was very hot and fresh but the reason I am giving them 3 starts is because of the salt level! My husband and I both got the gyro wraps and both were overly salty but mine in particular was insanely salty! I love salt too, but it was almost hard to eat. We also ordered chicken tenders for our son and those were very tasty. I'll give Rupe's another shot but will hope for less salt on the next order! read more

Food is great, place is kinda a dive. Employees were very overwhelmed with doing take out orders during COVID-19 but that is not the usual bulk of their business so I could see them being confused. They have three signs up saying they deliver with grub hub and it's on their take out menu too but they haven't had an account with grub hub since last year. App took my money but bar never got the order-and they don't seem concerned with fixing this conflict. Best gyros around though. Good fries, good chicken thighs. read more

Warm and Friendly Atmosphere! Great Menu and Pricing on a variety of not your average roadhouse foods! Delicious with Large Portions! Six Day Happy Hours, Monday thru Saturday! Domestic and Craft Brews! Family Friendly with Large Parking Area! Large Bar Area and plenty of comfortable chairs and tables! Large Screen TVs, to keep you updated on all of the action! Give this Rare Gem a visit, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! More To Come! read more

From the outside this place looks pretty underwhelming. As it turns out this is a very friendly, clean and spacious bar with freindly, friendly people and great bar food. My partner got the fish sandwich....omg- so good. The mac n cheese was better than average with a good cheddar flavor. I got the chicken club. I thought the Brad was great and the sandwich overall was a+. Our server was friendly and great and the rest of staff was attentive. Despite being a local bar, we felt very welcome. We plan to come back. read more

Stacy was extremely helpful and the food was good and the drinks were spot on. Found this little gem driving by trying to kill some time. Will definitely go back. Place was also clean! read more

I used love this place. Last time I was there five cocktail s and two sandwiches for $82 what the heck happened seems kind of ridiculous or semi dive bar read more

Our visit to Rupe's was wonderful! The staff and other customers made us feel welcome and comfortable, prices are very reasonable, the beer was cold, mixed drinks made perfect, food was amazing, service was excellent, loved the music and the conversation was never ending. Definitely recommend for a nice home town feel! Will definitely be back! read more

Super awesome place ! Hidden in an unsuspecting part of town you wouldn't expect something as nice to be in. Looks great inside and greatest genuine hospitality I've received from a restaurant and it's owners in a while. Made the visit feel super personal, DEF worth you're way out of your path to stop by! read more

Rupe's Roadhouse - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Rupe's Roadhouse is a nice neighborhood treat. Was Mark's Tavern for many years - a place that always seemed kind of sketchy to me. But Rupe's is very friendly, clean and attractive inside and the food is good. Good service. They just started serving breakfast, which is what I got. Yummy breakfast burrito. Good scrambled eggs and hash browns. Excellent thick sliced multigrain toast. Coffee was not really anything to write home about. If you want a spoon to stir your coffee, you need to ask for it. read more

Rupe's Roadhouse - the bar and seating - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Not impressed with this place at all. I don't generally write reviews, but I feel like this must be said. The way the staff treated my Coworkers and I was terrible. We called to place an order and everyone we dealt with was absolutely terrible. The woman that answered the phone had a sour attitude and didn't make it seem as if they were interested in our business. Even the woman that delivered the food to us was rude. Our order was of course messed up, when we called to speak to a manager, we were told there wasn't one available. Normally I don't care. I understand people have bad days. But bad customer service won't get you anywhere. Why would a business offer delivery, and get irritated when people call to place a lunch order? We will happily call other local restaurants that are happy to have our business. read more

Love the grilled fish and Hummus platter!!! Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. :) Took a neighborhood eye sore and turned it into a great experience for the entire family. read more

This was a find!! Thee nicest people owner and server! The food was delicious and served very timely. I even bought a shirt with their logo on it! I had the Mediterranean flatbread and my husband had the gyro. Delicious! read more

I saw a previous review that basically stated exactly what I need to say here. We placed an order for delivery, but we didn't get our entire order. We called the restaurant. The woman that answered (assuming bartender since she told me she had a full bar of customers) was completely vile and rude. I got nothing but attitude from her. We didn't even want a refund, we just wanted the rest of our order. Didn't happen. She literally told us she didn't have time for us. Really didn't have to be that rude about it. Clearly it's not the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last that a customer is treated that way. It's sad. Will never order from there again nor step into that establishment. read more

Nice little joint on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Nice clean atmosphere and the best Reuben ever per the husband. I had a gyro and our kids a burger and chicken sandwich. All very good. Owner was super friendly and made you feel you feel very welcome. Don't be turned off. Y the exterior... you'll be pleasantly surprised when you walk in the door! read more

What a great way to start our trip to Pittsburg. Super inviting staff and food was delicious! The manager even stoped by and gave us free couzies and bought a round a shots. If your ever in the area, this is the place to stop by. read more

Stopped on on our way down Camp Horne Rd. Pleasantly surprised at the menu choices and attentiveness of staff. We'll be back.

Great place to meet family and friends for a bite to eat or a drink. Simple menu, good food. Service is good and fast. Staff is friendly; with a neighborhood feel. I will visit again. read more

Quaint, friendly, welcoming little roadhouse bar on a main thorough-way. Affordable, great bar food, awesome deals for Happy Hour.

This place is a great! place! The people are nice and funny as hell! The food is totally awesome! The flat bread is great! The gyros are great! Great burgers! And so much more! If you like having fun, this is the place! read more

A local who has always driven past until this time we went in. Perfect place as a bar and the table atmosphere was great. Bright to eat, tables were spread out around the bar. And food was great. We went for happy hour and yummy, as half price for full portion appetizers. The fried fish and hot sausage hit the spot after sharing nachos. A must try else you are missing out. read more

I went on Sunday on way home from airport. I used to love the gyros but got one that had leftover meat from night before. Hard as leather. Sent it back and left. So disappointed as used to love the gyros here. read more

Small local bar on Camp Horn Rd. The food is good but I'm not sure if I have ever got any order completely right. I typically go here for take out and I have learned to check my bad before I go. This is a place that charges extra for sauce with you will want to be aware of because I have never had them tell me so when I place an order. Their chicken fingers and gyros are good! read more

This is one of the great neighborhood bars. The crowd is easy and self effacing. The menu is big enough to please everyone. The service is great even when the joint is crowded. Rupe's is one of those go-to bars you visit when you want easy, laid back good times and good food. read more

Owner and the waitress were back in the kitchen forever. Finally got pissed and left. Waitress came out hollering that I didn't pay my tab ($7). By the time I got back inside, they were in the kitchen AGAIN. So I went there to pay my bill because I had already been tired of waiting. They got all belligerent and mouthy about my coming into the kitchen. I told them if someone was behind the bar like there should be, I wouldn't have to come to the kitchen. So their poor customer service gets me treated like a criminal. I'd avoid this place. Sunny Jim's right down the road is way friendlier. And Goodfella's on Mt. Nebo road has awesome food and an awesome staff. read more

I gave it a 4 because the bartender was very friendly and the gyro and fries were really good. I have been here on several occasions and it's typically consistent when busy they are a bit slow but it is a small place. One thing that is a negative I stoped for lunch today and ordered a Jack and Coke. The bartender goes to make it and realizes they are out of Jack. She asked the owner if they had any and his response was "when I go pick it up we will". Meanwhile he is sitting at the bar (as I usually see him when I have been there) drinking his beer. I felt bad for the bartender she was obviously frustrated by this. If your priority is to take of yourself over your business you are doomed to fail. Your priority should be your customers and making sure your business has what it needs before you open. I am by no means upset that I could not have a drink with lunch if I was that concerned I would have went to one of several other places close by. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident and so happy we did!! Great service and the food was delicious! My boyfriend had the gyro and I had the Greek salad. Highly recommend!! read more

We stopped and had lunch, very good! Nice place, clean, everyone was really inviting. I would definitely go back!

I was very disappointed after hearing many good things about this place. The décor is definitely bar but the table was actually sticky! The waitress said that is just the way they are. I ordered a gyro which was just average and the sauce was so watery the bread was soggy. The chips were average. The service was slow although there were only one other person was there. My friend ordered a burger and a side of fries! The burger was lukewarm and the fries came several minutes after the burger was served, Was our first and last visit to the place! read more

Stopped in to check out as we've heard great things. The local bar feeling comes through and the food is great quality. The gyro is high quality and much better than most places offer. The fish sandwich was excellent as well. Prices are very reasonable and the service is quick, efficient and friendly. And if you happen to meet one of the owners, like we did, you'll find they take great pride in offering up the best. read more

The kitchen staff put 'love' in every meal. Peggy cooks for like you are family. The Gyros are fabulous. I have to admit I've lived in Pittsburgh for nine years and this is the first place that has a steak burger that reminds me of home. A favorite is the hummus platter. I honestly can not say there has been one meal that I did not enjoy! The soups are good too! Giving 5 stars because it is a five star place for this type of atmosphere. read more
