    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.

    Locally owned spot that's been a West Liberty staple for a couple of decades…read more I'm giving three-stars because it's not always consistent and sometimes really just hit or miss with the food. Back in the day it was 4-5 stars all day everyday. Service is always decent though. Typical neighborhood local vibe. When the food is good, it's great. Here are things I've had and loved and sometimes only liked: Burgers (they do crazy things with them like topping with a pierogi) Fries Chicken Pesto Sandwich Mac & Cheese

    Came here during Lent for a fried fish sandwich, which came highly recommended from many locals…read more The atmosphere is very casual and you're able to sit anywhere you're comfortable. Our waiter came immediately and let us know the drinks on draft were $2 off for Happy Hour. I ordered the Purple Haze, a raspberry lager, and really enjoyed it's smooth fruity flavor. As a meal, I ordered the fish sandwich with chips, since upgrading to fries was an extra $3. The sandwich came out within 10mins, freshly hot and fried crispy. They split the big fish in half and stacked it on a bun, so it's very filling. On the side they give you a small portion of tarter sauce, which wasn't nearly enough for how much fish was on the sandwich. It was in need for a bit more flavor, so we requested hot sauce. Tabasco was free (other sauces were 50 cents) but unfortunately the bottle stated it expired in June of 2023. It didn't have any spice left and was a brownish color, so I didn't want to put it on my fish. The chips on the side were good, seasoned with salt and pepper. Overall the fish sandwich was good and a large portion, it just needed more sauce or maybe seasoning on the batter to give it more flavoring. For $15, I would recommend supporting a Firehall or Church fish fry that provides more sides with their menu items for the same quality.

If so, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The shell tasted like a store bought brand and the topping were minimal to say the least. It also took nearly 30 minutes for one taco and there was only one guy ahead of us and two other people waiting and to be honest their orders took just as long as ours. Not acceptable! The vibe at the festival last year was great and yeah some of the lines were long, but they were all moving exceptionally fast except this one. The workers seemed very confused and overwhelmed. Yeah, the taco was fairly good, but the wait time for one taco was beyond frustrating. I hope if they are there again today at the festival they are serving better quality crumbles, better quality tortilla shells and more plentiful toppings.

I liked the fact that…read moreit is local and there would not be as much packaging as the other plans I have used in the past, which arrived via UPS in large boxes with ice packs and thermal linings. This is what I like about Chip and Kale: Food is delicious. Ingredients seem fresh and the opposite of processed food. Price is reasonable and less per serving than other plans I have tried. No ongoing subscription. Food kits arrive frozen which gives me flexibility of what to make and when. The directions are simple and very clear. Even the ingredients are numbered. Minimal packaging. I have been washing and will reuse most of the ziplock bags. I will probably keep two of the totes for personal use and return the others to Chip and Kale. Stand alone deserts offered. Apple strudel looks delicious.

    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.

    This is one of those places everyone seems to love--and now I get why. Pro tip: definitely make…read morereservations. We didn't, but somehow got lucky snagging seats at the bar... which honestly turned out to be a perfect spot to eat too! The beet salad was SO good I could've easily ordered a second without hesitation. I had a self-proclaimed Reuben connoisseur with me, and he declared it the best Reuben he's ever had (second only to his own, of course ). It's not your typical version either--no standard Thousand Island overload. The corned beef was perfectly peppered and packed with flavor, and even the bread stood out. Fish tacos? Absolutely a yes. Fresh, flavorful, and just done right. We split sides--tater tots for one dish and the homemade chips for the other. Always go for the homemade chips here. WOW! They had this subtle sweetness that made them seriously addictive. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and food that lives up to the hype. Totally worth it! One quick heads up: there's a 3% fee if you use a credit card, so plan accordingly.

    My daughter and I went here for the first time recently. It was intended to be a mini celebration…read morebecause it was her last day of school. We arrived around 4:30pm, we had to park on the street, but there were several spots available. The restaurant is small with a casual interior. We were greeted and seated immediately. The food was good with hearty portions, but our waitress rushed us the entire time. We said we needed a few minutes, because this was our first time here, so she stood there and just... waited. She didn't offer to make any suggestions or ask whether we had any questions, she was just standing inches from the table looking at us. Finally I had to say, "oh, you don't have to wait right here, it'll be at least 5 minutes." Then she left. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees, two non-alcoholic drinks, and two desserts. She never asked whether we wanted dessert, and reached to present the bill while asking if we needed any takeout boxes. I had to interject and ask if we could see a menu for dessert options. The check was placed on our table before dessert arrived, which has never happened to us before at any restaurant we've ever been to. Then, when the desserts were brought to the table, she grabbed the bill presenter and said, "are we good?" I replied, "no, I'll pay when we're done eating." It was odd because we went very early and there were only a few other tables occupied so, I had no idea why we were being rushed the entire time. They also brought my daughter's entree with the wrong side, but they fixed it right away with no fuss. I left a generous tip and didn't report our experience. She was never outright rude to us, but rushing guests at every interaction is uncomfortable and made us feel unwelcome. Overall, this place is good, but if I ever go back, I would insist on a different waitress.
