    I've been to Spoonwood before for apps and dinner and really enjoyed myself. However, we visited for brunch this morning and were pretty disappointed. The potatoes were completely bland and very mushy, and the coffee was quite bad. The biscuits & gravy and avocado toast were good, but we'll probably stick to snacks/dinner here if we visit again.

    I stopped in for a drink between appointments and was not disappointed. It was 3pm on a Friday afternoon, so it was not busy but started to get busier after 4pm. Our server was quick and attentive. The ambiance was relaxed and a good decision for a Friday afternoon.

    Large local brewery with a restaurant and outdoor play area. We came on a busy Friday night for dinner and they seated us right away out back on the deck under the giant umbrellas. We sampled a couple beers and chose a German lagger and an IPA. Then ordered a cheesesteak sandwich with kettle chips. Only part not enjoyable was the bread (too dry).

    Spoonwood has been a beloved spot of ours for beee and food for a few years now. One of my favorite things about this place is they have so many different styles of beer, and they all seem to be incredible. Truly, something for every beer drinker! Their pizzas are out of this world, as well as their smoked meats. Large portions and great food! I suggest the cornbread muffin as a side.

    Gross pickle

    It's all gone south. Store bought generic chips on both the appetizer & main. Greasy gloppy artichoke dip with nary an artichoke lol. Chef Boyardee pizza sauce on a pizza with bad basil and was it cooked in the pizza oven? It was worse than a take and bake, we just left it behind. Chèvre chicken sandwich with a half teaspoon of chèvre, not caramelized - caramelized onions, rubbery chicken. Even the pickle was bad! Aperol spritz missing Prosecco? It seemed like a half shot of aperol in soda water. I hate complaining because covid made it all bad, but no one even seemed to notice or care.

    Tucked away in Bethel Park, this place is perfect for sitting outside, grabbing a few drinks and some good eats. Stopped here while in the area, based off other reviews and we really liked it. Services was great, forgot to capture our two cocktails but we tried the spoonwood spritz and the pink pony (seasonal I think) and they were really tasty, not too strong and a good size. Food wise, the pizza was the star of the show. Tomato vodka sauce with some mozzarella hit the spot, plus the crust was light and airy but had that crunch and chew that made it perfect. On the other hand, the kickin chicken was dry and didn't have any distinct flavor to it. The slaw was ok but that's all you really tasted, the Sriracha dusting provided little flavor or spice and the mayo was hardly noticeable. Overall, definitely wanting to go back and try another more of their pizzas and a few drinks while the weather is nice enough to sit on their patio.

    My philosophy continues that you can't be a brewery and have good beer AND food. This food was average. The chicken reminds me of crock pot chicken, bland, cooked in too much liquid, and tasted slightly old... The pizza was good, again the chicken was eh, but overall the flavors of this were good. The beer was cold and refreshing. Service was fine- we came at an off time so we're seated quickly. The space is big and they have nice outdoor seating, covered for the winter right now. Overall a decent spot if you're in the area!

    Spoonwood is one of my most visited local businesses. I am a big fan of many of their beers, their collaborations with other local businesses to create them (example: my constant favorite here, Cold Drip City, is infused with a dark roast from Allegheny Coffee & Tea), and their wood-fired pizzas are reliably excellent. My favorite is Pretty Fly for a White Pie. With garlic oil, cherry tomatoes, basil and cheese, you just can't go wrong. I've had lots of other menu items including salads, soups and the falafel that are also consistently good; I'm a vegetarian but my family likes items from their smoker like baby back ribs. I like sitting on their outdoor patio, which they have screened in for the cooler weather. That's helpful in giving them more space, too. (Note that even during summer, the outdoor patio is not dog-friendly. There are occasional dog nights on another part of the lawn! Follow their socials to know when.) Recently we came on the weekend during brunch, which was a different experience. There is a specific brunch menu and that is all you can order from during that time. I tried a brunch pizza, since I'm a big fan of the pizzas here. It was able to be customized to my liking (holding the meat) but I found it just a little dry. My companion got a brunch burger that included an egg. I might try one of the sweeter brunch choices next time. The savory seemed like a better idea if I wanted to try some beers, which I did as there were new autumn ones on the menu. That's one of the best reasons to keep coming back, the constantly rotating beer selection. Get a flight of minis to try as many as possible.

    Veggie omelette
    Maureen R.

    I've eaten here more times than I can count but this was my first time for brunch. And let me say, dang was it delicious! I met my girlfriends here on a Sunday. We got there right at 10 for opening and there were several people already there. The place continued to get busier as the morning went one. Everyone started with drinks. I had the Irish cream coffee, it was perfectly made and had quite the kick! I honestly couldn't make up my mind on what to eat but the veggie omelette had stout glazed onions in it and I couldn't resist. I've had them on pizza before and they are phenomenal so I knew it would be good. It also had roasted red peppers and feta cheese. It was so simple but one of the tastiest omelette's I've ever had. Others had the eggs Benedict, or avocado toast and eggs. Everyone loved their meals. They also had breakfast pizza, which I want to try next time. Oh and our server was just lovely. She was so patient as we took what felt like forever to place our orders.

    Spoonwood always does a nice job honoring veterans. Although we like the food here normally, vets get 15% off today in observance of Veterans Day. The discount was nice. Beers are good here and the food is excellent, especially the brunch. My only complaint is it's definitely pricey. The kids cheeseburger is $10 and adult meals are more. Still, we love it here and always look forward to stopping in.

    My friend I stopped here for a place to watch the football game in the neighborhood. We had a good experience at the front bar with the bartender and fellow patrons as well that made it a good time. The food and drinks were great. However what turned us off is apparently there is a cornhole league here and this lady in the white hat was condescending from the moment she very rudely greeted us, apparently accidentally asked us if we were in the league and laughed for some reason. It was really uncalled for, she made it seem unwelcoming and a stuck up atmosphere so we just played it cool and pretended she wasn't there but certainly think you must be in some sort of clique to belong here as she continued to treat us in a smug way. Not cool but I was here once before and had a normal fun time, must have been that woman - not good for customer service.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it.

My favorite flavors are the mango habanero and the spicy lime, but there are still so many flavors I'm excited to try. I also love ordering a side of seasoned fries and garlic bread to dip into the extra wing sauce!! Their fries and garlic bread are crispy to perfection; you genuinely won't find better anywhere else. I also tried the chicken bacon ranch pizza as per their recommendation, and it was soooo cheesy and yummy!
