    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.

    Stopped into Fat Butcher in Lawrenceville expecting just to grab some meat for the week, and ended…read moreup walking out with lunch too because everything looked too good to pass up! It's a proper neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street, the kind of place that had mostly disappeared around here. They do whole animal butchery with meat sourced from local Pennsylvania farms, and you can feel how much the folks working there care about what they're doing. It's not a huge space, just a display case full of cuts, a wall of house made goods, and a small sandwich menu, but that's part of the charm. The staff were friendly and happy to point me in the right direction. The sandwiches are what really got me though. The smash burger is fantastic, a double patty on a challah bun with that special sauce, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef, which makes sense given the whole operation is built around good meat. I also grabbed some of their house made pastrami, and it did not disappoint, tender and full of flavor. Knowing everything is made in house, right down to the bacon and sausages, makes it even better. If you live nearby and don't have a butcher yet, this is the one.

Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

Pittsburgh Sandwich Society runs a kitchen out of Strange Roots Experiential Ale which is a small locally-owned distillery. Once you enter, you'll scan a QR code to order online. Don't waste time like me waiting for a server lol. I ordered the In-An-Aht burger which features spring mix, their society sauce, American cheese and tomato. The burger was SO GOOD. All the ingredients had the perfect portions and came together beautifully. It was a perfect medium-well cook. The fries are hand cut and delicious. My only distaste was that fries were veryyyyy salty. +Customer service was amazing! +Limited Free Parking out front and in a nearby alley. +Plenty of tables for dine-in +Free boardgames to play +Beautiful patio with plenty seating I'm excited to return for the patio in the summer when I return to PA.

They don't open until 4, but you can place orders online hours before then. Picked up food around 4:20. By time we got home, the fish maintained its crispness. I was actually quite impressed with how well it was prepared. Nice and flaky but didn't fall apart. The bun it comes on is well proportion with the fish. The only thing I could've went without, was the macaroni salad topped on the fish. However, the food here never disappoints. I'll be back.

We found an adorable part of town to walk through and then we spotted Moonlit Burgers and decided to stop for lunch. They have limited table service in the sense that you place your order with the cashier when you walk in and they bring your food out to you a little bit later on. They even checked on us a few times while we ate. Very nice staff too! The restaurant is a good size with lots of tables for two and few bigger tables as well. They also have a separate bar if you want something other than soda with your burgers. I ordered the Moonlit Smashburger and the hubby ordered a chicken sandwich; we also ordered fries and a drink to share. The cup for the drink was super duper tiny though, and we weren't sure about refills so we just took shallow sips. Next time we'll make sure to get two drinks. The smashburger was so good!! Everything a smashburger should be. The moon sauce was tangy and complimented the meat so well. And those crispy edges!! The fries were nice and crisp too and the hubby thoroughly enjoyed his chicken sandwich. We left the restaurant satisfied and full!!
