The Coal Mine - Fish Platter - Pizza Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I haven't stopped at The Coal Mine for a few years but did so recently to get fried fish during Lent. The fish was a good size, and the fries and Cole slaw were okay. The fish and fries were a little greasy, but otherwise tasty. I appreciate that you can choose other sides instead of fries with your fish, (Haluski, mac & cheese, or chips) if you want to change it up. The Coal Mine is a nice neighborhood spot on RT 88 with friendly staff, and plentiful parking. read more

Go here about 3-4x week. Staff is friendly, drinks are on point and fresh cut fries are great. Food is consistent

We came here as one of the few places we went during Covid. I had gotten a Groupon for it, when we first came in there are a few people in the bar as well as a rather large dog that was semi-aggressive with both of his ears wrapped up and bandages. The guy with him played it off as he was just a nice dog but it frightened both of my children. The bartender was our server. Service was pretty good thing that she didn't come over quite as much as you would expect a server to but she had the whole bar to take care of as well. So our refills kind of went by the wayside being long in between when we saw her. Again she was fairly busy though covering the bar and taking phone orders and preparing to go's. All of our food came out fairly quickly. Everything was pretty hot with the mozzarella wedges being overcooked and the cheese being cooked right out of them. The pizza's took longer but came out piping hot and were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the funnel cake fries, loaded fries, and the hot pepper cheese balls as well. Overall that experience was pretty good. The chicken parm sandwich I had was amazing! By far one of my favorites I've had anywhere. We came back with another Groupon called in for us to have dinner for pickup and it was all ready 15+. I minutes sooner than I was quoted on the phone. The bar had the AC blasting so everything was Luke warm at best checking it in the car and cold by the time we got it home. Very disappointed and it seemed like not being there they didn't care as much about attention to detail and freshness. read more

Let's start by saying the theam and concept of this place I thought were cool. The bartender Bailey was great and did an amazing job. The food is typical bar food and it's ok... We stopped here on a whim just this evening. It's a shame but we will not be back. The experience of this evening has been tainted. There were 4 other "customers" at the bar and some type of pool league going on in the back. Upon opening the door we were met with blasting rap rap music spewing profanities. Typically I am not such a prude, but it was terrible. The same few terrible songs were played over and over. We sat at the bar as the back was busy with the Monday night pool league. The people sitting in the group at the bar were drunk and just being obnoxious. They were loud, banging on the bar and had zero care anyone else was there. They also some how had control of the tv remote that controlled the music as it was youtube. They continued to play songs like Carlie B and some thing called juice world. This was not the vibe in this place I thought it would be. They ruined our dinner and as quickly as I could eat my flatbread that wasn't really flatebread bread but still tasted ok..we left. The place also somehow managed to have a dank smell but then not a bad smell. read more

I have become a very big fan of The Coal Mine recently. Words cannot describe just how good the wings, burgers and sandwiches are here. Fresh beef, not frozen, wings are huge! You have driven by a million times on RTE 88 and just thought, "Oh that dive bar has been there for a thousand years...never been in there" Well, steer into the parking lot and enjoy some of the most reasonably priced bar food that you have ever tasted! To put icing on the cake, the bartenders are all quite friendly! Keep up the great work folks! read more

if I could give no stars I would. we showed up staff was ok except staff shouldn't be drinking, the place is very dark and dirty could definitely use a cleaning, drinks were subpar at best, prices are high for the environment, I mean it's a dive neighborhood bar but we tried the food my wife got sick off their wings and my Italian sub tasted sour like meat has turned, there's no presentation and for the place as slow as it was the food took exceptionally long to get to us and then the cook was at the bar more than in his kitchen, just a very unprofessional establishment no management the cook was flirting with the few ladies and drinking, as a food blogger I definitely wouldn't recommend this place, everything is out dated. wings are soggy and undercooked. staff needs training from top to bottom, This is Greg the Pittsburgh Food Fanatic giving the Coal mine a big thumbs down. I would recommend trying The Getaway which isn't to far away from this place. I'll be posting my assessment of The Getaway soon! read more

I used Uber Eats to get a order today. Ordered 12 mild wings, cheeseburger with swiss and mushrooms with fries and cheeseburger with cheddar and bacon with fries. My swiss buger was great, very tasty. Could have used more mushrooms, and they forgot my fries. But very good. Cheddar buger was also very good, fried were very tasty, fresh cut. The wings were ok. Very crispy but very dry, not a lot of sauce on them. Will definitely give another try, hopefully I get my fries next time. read more

Went in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by this place. Had a very nice burger made just as I like it. Quiet place with a laid back local vibe. Drinks were good and service was very attentive. I look forward to going back and enjoying more. read more

This is a nice neighborhood pub on Library Ave that I've visited a couple of times. They have a pretty standard selection of beers, with maybe 10 or so taps and some craft beers on tap. There was a Flying Fish Porter I had that was pretty good. There seems to be a bunch of regulars here and late on a Friday afternoon business was pretty good. They have a typical pub menu, and I got a burger with home made chips. The burger had a pretty nice sized patty, maybe a third of a pound, and it was a good deal for $6.95. My craft beer was $6 and Yuengling drafts were $2.50. They have several screens and later in the afternoon they had the local news station on with audio playing from the TV. I seem to remember smoking allowed here, but on a nice day they had the door opened with a nice breeze coming through. It was pleasant to sit at the bar. This is a good place to come for pub fare if you're in the neighborhood. read more

I got a pizza, fried onion rings and wings today with groupon. Everything was very good.

This is just a typical joint with your typical bar food. However, when you stop in the afternoons, it's a quiet place to do a little work while getting something to eat or drink. And a couple of times I've been there. The staff is always super friendly. I can't say anything special about this place but there's nothing wrong with it and that makes it just perfect for what it is. read more

Fun spot! A large selection of beers and food bar food! My husband likes the wings and I liked the fries :) friendly service too!

Waited 30 minutes for an order of onion rings only 2 tables where being served. they said they were overwhelmed. Las t trip there.

One of my favorites. Burgers are yummy, steak hoagie is my absolute favorite. Love the neighborhood bar feel!!! Come here often

Coal is not coming back and neither is the Coal Mine. Stopped in for a drink to catch up with a friend. Beer lines are dirty...order a bottle. 19 year old bartender has no clue how to make anything other than a shot and a beer. Smoking permitted in the bar. If they are this lazy about keeping beer lines clean and having a knowledgeable staff, what is going on in the kitchen? Someplace this bad should be much cheaper. read more

This is nice little place to grab a quick bite. Good pizza and cheese balls. Fries were greasy but tasty. Good customer service. One of our orders was messed up but they agreed to fix it immediately read more

The burgers were amazing! They were definitely fresh. I was thoroughly impressed by how spot on they were with our order. I order from GrubHub/UberEats often, and restaurants often miss my notes. We got 2 different build your own burgers and the order was perfect! 10/10 dinner, will certainly be back. read more

This was our first time getting food from the Coal Mine. We went in to order wings to go. The Pens were in the Stanley Cup playoffs and we wanted to take wings to the place we were going to watch the game. The dining room doesn't serve food on Sunday evenings (not sure about lunch time). So we went to the bar to put our order in. It seemed like all of the patrons were all people who hung out here a lot. It took about 20 minutes to get our wings. We took them straight to the party. We had ordered 3 dozen-1 dz Garlic Parm, 1dz BBQ, and 1 dz Hot. I ate 3 of the BBQ and 3 of the Garlic Parm. The outside was crispy and the inside was was juicy. They were very good and they didn't skimp on sauce. In fact they even gave us a ton of wet naps for our hands. The people who ate the Hot wings thought they tasted more peppery than hot. I can't eat hot or spicy food so I have to go by there comments. They thought they were good just more of a peppery taste than they expected. I would like to go back some time and try another menu item or two. It's on the smaller side-maybe 8-10 tables in the dining room-but the bartender hand his helper were very nice. read more

Food was great. We ate in the dining room which is non-smoking. Generous portions, good price and yummy sandwiches. Kind of a weird setting, but worth it. read more

Placed a take out order & was told it will be ready in 30 minutes. Got there on time and paid the bill. Waited another 20 minutes to get my order. There were only 3 bar patrons there and no other food orders. My order of 3 hoagies were bad. 2 had burnt buns & one was missing the tomato & lettuce. Both orders of chips were greasy, white & soft. Threw them out. The fries were good. Did not call the restaurant to complain as did not have the time to go back & wait an hour for another order. The girl bartender was pleasant. read more

The funnel cake fries are great. Fried pickles were hearty and cooked perfect. Dont dip your pickles in the chocolate sauce for the funnel fries. BIGGEST COMPLAINT AND WHY I DIDNT GIVE 5 STARS......THEY SERVED JUNK KETCHUP. This is HEINZ territory....up out of here with this tomato paste nastiness. Burger is good. Could be salted more but juicy and cooked to a perfect mw. read more

We ordered take out from here yesterday. The pricing was really great for the portion sizes. We ordered a few appetizers and the hot cheese balls were exactly what I wanted! Another local bar use to have very similar ones and recently changed them and I was devastated. The reason for the four stars is my husband ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich but they sent the Chicken Parmesan sandwich. He still liked it, it just what we ordered. We also really liked the grilled buns for the sandwiches, however, one of them seems to have been missed. All in all we really enjoyed it and will be ordering from here again. read more

So I'm not sure if it's "yelp" or what but I really wanted to try the food here but I called to make sure the kitchen was open and I was told they were closed. I called at 9pm. When I was told they were closed I clearly heard a really loud environment in the background. I hope the hours are listed wrong and I wasn't lied to. read more

The food is decent and the bartenders are phenomenal. My biggest gripe at this point is that it seems to be a dying bar and the owner seems to have tried to spice the place up by making the poorest decision I have ever seen in glassware. Black wine glasses so you cant see the drink and the bartender had to point it at a light in order to see what they were giving me. The beer cup was a tiny jar that MAY BE a standard beer size, but it's so short and fat that I looks like a baby beer so from a customers view it seems youre getting ripped off, and you have to warm your beer up by wholly fist grabbing it with your entire hand. There is a lip on them that causes the beer to drip from your month. The shotglasses are adorable, but they are tiny... jars... All of it is ridiculous. Please communicate more with your staff, this doesn't seem like a decision made with employees or customers in mind. read more
