I now go every 1-2 weeks for lunch and cannot get enough. Penn Station is far superior to the other subs competitors in the area. You are always greeted warmly here, and the staff is so friendly with superior customer service. You can have the subs warm or cold and they ingredients are always so fresh and tasty again much fresher taste than others in the area. They do not skimp on the meat or fixings either. The variety of subs and sandwiches and did I mention the fries? The fries are even better than McDonalds! Tasty dessert treats as well and always a quick in and out unless you prefer to eat there. Highly recommend!

Customers may order their foods either in person or online for takeout, delivery, or catering. My husband and I ordered submarine sandwiches--a half Veggie Sub and a half Ham-Cheese Sub--at this restaurant one time. Each sandwich cost several dollars. The employees' service was courteous but a bit slow. This restaurant did not have interior seating, so we ate our sandwiches at home. The sandwiches contained very fresh ingredients, were not soggy at all, and tasted good.

That said, I haven't worked downtown in years, and since that time have found myself craving the simple sub.

I'm generally easygoing, but when it comes to food, coffee, and cocktails...I'm a bit of a pain and particular. That said, I was absolutely blown away by this place. I love that they source their meat and veggies from local farms; the difference in quality is obvious. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtful. The North Hills really needs more spots like this! We ordered the bacon-wrapped walleye (best fish in a long time), sweet potato chips, arancini, wedge salad, and tuna poke. I also had the Fall Mule, which was fantastic. The service was fantastic as well.

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.

We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Pizza, which actually had french fries on top. It gave it a unique twist! The pizza itself was nicely done--crispy on the bottom with a crunchy crust. The only thing we would change is just a little less buffalo sauce, but overall it was very tasty. Our waitress, Grace, was fabulous. She took care of every need and checked on us often without ever being intrusive. Her service really made the visit even better.

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!!
