We were in the Johnstown area for a family birthday, and on the (strong) recommendation of friends…read moreand family, enjoyed dinner here. We loved it. As a rule, the daily specials are highly recommended and two members of our party loved the cod special. I wanted to try the Picanha steak, and it did not disappoint. My wife had the non-traditional spring lasagna, which was loaded with fresh vegetables, and gave it positive reviews. Service was professional and prompt. The wine list is limited, but serves the purpose. We sat in the bar area in front, which was pleasant enough. There is a small dining room in the rear if one wishes to get away from the bar. If you're in the Johnstown vicinity, L&G is worth going out of your way for.

Everything tastes homey but polished, like what you'd cook for a special dinner. The vibes are chill but smart -- great spot dropped right into downtown. I've already been back twice!

So not to jump past the details... but overall Balance was just ok. It is a place I'd try again…read morebecause I feel like it has potential and maybe it was an off night. When I found them online I was jazzed about the menu. They have a lot of unique options which I'm a huge fan of. It's always easy to find basic menus, so to find something fun that also offered a kids menu (meaning, cool... I don't need to worry about taking my humans even though they'll be ordering off the regular menu) was promising. The space itself is funky in a good way and spacious. It spans a few different rooms which all have their own vibe, and we saw igloos outside! I'd say our food had a 60/40 success rate. The hummus was seriously awesome, as was the risotto. My protein power bowl was so tasty with a great dressing and I absolutely love that they have creative vegetarian options. Our server was so kind, but I'm not quite sure where they were for most of our visit. Again... maybe an off night. We'd try it again. If you're someone who needs a changing table, they have one!

One thing you absolutely have to try is their pierogi pizza--it's easily the best around and such a fun local twist on pizza. Every time we've been there, the food has been consistently amazing.

If you're in the Johnstown area and looking for great food in a warm, inviting environment, the Johnstown Inn is definitely worth a visit.

I'm going to be honest, I have drove past this unassuming building in Johnstown for years without…read moreeven knowing it wasn't deserted, but that it was diamond in the rough. In this part of Johnstown, it definitely is a rough area. Parking is either on street or across the street in a gravel parking lot beneath a billboard. If you do park in that lot, do be carful crossing the street as it can be a busy one. Plus there is a slight curve that a driver might not see you while your rush across the street. Once inside you can tell that it lives up to the bar and grill in its name. It has this look inside that gives off this 80s dining vibe. One that calls back to those eateries once found in the mall. You know, those ones where it's almost too dark to see yourself let alone the menu. One where it is very dark wood, heavy on the brick, and all things that make you feel like your in and old time inn. Once settled at a table, we had our menus in hand and were given some time to look them over. Our server came back, took our drink orders and left us for a few more minutes to finalize our decisions considering the menu. Once we decided orders were place and we just waited for our food to come out. It gave us time to look around the place and take in our surroundings. When we first got here, there weren't many people. As we ordered, there were more and more customers that came in. Filling up the tables and making it feel warmer. We were in the midst of conversation and our food came out. I ordered the Franklin Street Bar & Grill Famous Meatloaf. This comes with a slice of the thickest homemade meatloaf I have ever seen. Plopped on top of a pile of mashed potatoes then topped with fried onion rings and smothered in brown gravy. This thing, even though not exactly as described and pictured, was delicious. Not sure if it is fame worthy as I have never heard of it, but hey, I will make sure to remember this when in the area again. To note, entrees are served with your choice of soup, salad, or applesauce, and comes with a homemade dinner roll. The service here is stellar. They all go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and their memory is like a vice grip. One thing you do need to keep on your toes about here, watch your step. With the dimness and small step ups, it would be easy to trip. They do have signs everywhere, but they can be hard to spot if you aren't aware of your surroundings.

Made this all the more enjoyable. Food was very well prepared and the proportions are right for the price paid. The Train-wreck was made perfectly and burger was juicy and not overly done. Fries might be my favorite for the area. Great music, great environment and even better service. Highly recommend this spot. I will add, while the bathroom decor is really nice, the sink might be difficult for people with arthritis in the wrists or are wheelchair bound. This is quite literally the only negative thing I have to say about this establishment.
