    Cheesesteak Rolls

    The food is always flavorful and delicious. Quick service. I usually order lunch for pickup. Easy to use online ordering system.

    Jerry Garcia Sandwich with French Fries
    Michelle S.

    Incredible. Easy to get to and even easier to order on line. I ordered lunch to go and it was ready in no time maybe 15 minutes. The food was ready to go when I picked it up and the server was nice and called me by my name. Atmosphere cute and spacious. I order the Buffalo garlic wings amazing. And the Jerry Garcia fantastic sandwich. There will definitely be a next time

    Spinach Artichoke Dip

    Perfect hidden gem with outstanding pub food and a great selection of brews and cocktails. The fries are to die for. Hands down one of the best spots in Pittsburgh for an artichoke dip and a buffalo chicken wrap.

    Stopped here on the way home from Pittsburgh and had a nice lunch. It is a counter that you order food at and they bring it out, plenty of seating, pool table dart boards and nice outdoor patio for good weather days. Nice staff and casual vibe. Cheese steak was more lettuce and bread than meat. Tasted ok. The Garcia chicken w hippo sauce was a little spicy, and very good. Looks like a great place to watch a game or grab drinks and play some pool. Definately want to stop back in the summer and enjoy the patio.

    Food typical burger joint Service everyone is so friendly Ambiance sports bar We came multiple times as we were staying at the hotel next door, favorite night was Monday which was tennis trivia night!! (Questions were hard )

    Cranberry Poppins Salad
    Trish L.

    Came in for lunch. It was a little confusing, for a first timer, to figure out that you had to place your order at the back counter and then take a seat. I followed the "seat yourself" and sat for 10 mins, thinking someone was coming over to take my order. Regardless, I had the cranberry poppins salad with grilled chicken and it was phenomenal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the tomatoes and carrots were fresh, and there was a good amount of feta cheese. The employees were all friendly and all of the tables looked clean. The bathroom had multiple stalls and was clean. There was a decent crowd on hand for lunch, but they cleared out quick. Would recommend!

    Great food, but the burgers n Actual Poutine Fries (good luck finding those anywhere) are amazing. Very spacious sports bar style restaurant with a bubble hockey table for the win. Also has darts, slots, 7 TV's, and garage door windows for nice days. Great atmosphere. Not too busy n I think a small staff but they do great. Will definitely return.

    I've driven up and down Potomac Ave for years and never noticed Fredo's which is right next door to…read morethe Dormont Theater. I had to stop into Fredo's after seeing photos from my daughter who had just spent two weeks in Bosnia. The interior of Fredo's is like stepping into a small shop you'd find in Bosnia. The yellow walls are welcoming, and cozy. There's a small variety of snacks, and beverages on one side of the shop, and a large counter where you'd place your order. There are a few tables for dining in, but I chose to take my order home. I ordered a small Cevapi and Sirnica, plus picked up some Croatian chocolate for dessert. The Cevapi were delicious skinless beef and veal sausages, that were nicely savory and well browned. A cup of chopped onions, and what I think was a yogurt sauce came with my Cevapi which added more flavor and an overall goodness to the Cevapi. A bread similar to a pita made eating Cevapi easy, and filling. The Sirnica was equally delicious. A wonderful mix of flaky, chewy phyllo pastry, and cheese baked inside the pastry. It definitely hit the spot with a nice balance of a light pastry and mild cheese. I ate the leftover half cold, and it was just as good! The lady at the counter was friendly, and patient with me. The menu is truly a deli menu full of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. If you're wanting to go for the House Specials, you won't be disappointed!

They have a couple of tables inside for dining and we chose the one closest to the coffee bar. The one employee there took our order and made our food right next to us at the counter/kitchen set up located behind the register. We did see several takeout orders get picked up while we were there. My mom had the gyro salad and I ordered an Italian with no onions or dressing. My mom was disappointed that the "greens" were actually chopped romaine and/or iceberg. The gyro meat was flavorful and had a nice crisp to the outside and the homemade dressing was delicious. The Italian was also decent. I'm picky when it comes to hoagie rolls and this baguette was soft and fresh. I typically prefer more of a crisp exterior, but this was fine. The meat and toppings were fresh and the sandwich was served with a small bag of Lay's on the side. Overall, we had a nice experience dining in the small deli, but with so many options in the Pittsburgh area, I can't say we were wowed enough to be repeat customers.

    In my mind and memories, this place is fantastic. In reality, ... I'll explain…read more I'm not regularly in this part of the city anymore. I'd rather drive out of state than have to cross a bridge and tunnel to get somewhere so I only stopped twice when at a nearby meeting. Decades back, my best friend lived right up the street. This was practically an extension of their own house. They were there often. Often is an understatement. I'd get off from work and knew where I could find friends. Here. I'd often stop and pick up something on my way home to the South Side Slopes. I recognize that its been a long, long time since I lived in the Southern Side of the city. I haven't been here regularly in years. I still enjoy stoping by. The last few times, the service was - I hate to say this- not good. I really do hate to say that. The reason people loved this place was because Louie, Toni, & their staff were friendly and made it an experience. Long gone are staff that made anyone in Pgh feel welcome. The last 2 stops in, I felt like an inconvenience. My orders weren't correct each time. One was a to go order. I specifically asked for things to be done a certain way because I was ordering for my husband & kids. I chalked it up to the time of day & blamed myself. I did not look it over since I was trying to beat traffic... this is a classic place. It has to be me. Not them. I had an hour break and decided to stop in. Again, staff ignored me when I ordered. It took up that entire time to get served. It was awkward. My meal was lackluster, at best. My mind wants to believe in this place and that their stuffed bananas, zucchini and chicken sandwiches will never change- but I think they have. At this point, I don't see myself going anytime soon intentionally. If a friend were to ask us to join them, I would.
