    Bone-In Wings (13)
    Lauren W.

    This is THE spot!!!! We go here at least once a month, and especially when we have family in town or are throwing a party. There are a zillion flavors, and I haven't had one I don't like. There is something for everyone here. The wings are huge!! Both the boneless and bone-in. Don't go anywhere else for wings, because there is nowhere better! My family from out of town tells me all the time they wish this was by them!

    Yum! Can you ever go wrong with a basket full of BSB wings?? With so many flavor options, you'll never get bored going back time and time again. This time we went for eye of the tiger (hot and tangy with ranch) and playmaker (butter, seasoning and parm, with ranch and mild buffalo). Both were super tasty, packed with flavor, and did not disappoint. We found them to be especially good together as they balanced each other out. We got our take out and couldn't wait to pop these wings in our salivating mouths, so we ate them right there in the car, sitting in the parking lot. Not even ashamed.

    Definitely a spot you'll wanna come visit when you visit Pittsburgh. I'm personally from Alabama (Mobile, AL specifically) and I could never find anything like FRY DADDYS but this place has it beat by bumper with the variety of wing flavors.

    Sometimes you need a specialist. Or at least a business with a specialty. You will find that at Bob's. They mostly do wings, and they do them well. Their very first sauce they sold was "The Talk of Beaver Falls." It's still their best seller, and for good reason. But Black Magic is a contender, especially if you like spicy. If you like perennial favorites, try the Garlic Parm. Bob's does mostly takeout and delivery. Their store is small, and it can get hot inside with all the ovens. But their service is friendly and quick. I was surprised that each location has a different owner. So maybe Bob's is a franchise? The wings are meaty, substantial and filling. There are plenty of flavors to please any palate. That makes this place a winner!

    Old bay. Wet. Which is named after my gf

    If you knock back a "Big Shot" before you drive here, you're likely to end up with a DUI and no driver's license. Even a "Little Shot" of something delicious like Bailey's, is a bad idea. I recommend "No Shot" at all, despite the misleading and troublemaking business name which is counter-productive as it leads to many customers ending up in State Pen. I'd rather be in Penn State than State Pen. Although it's a close contest. What to get: Wings (Old Bay - Wet) Just as good as the ones at the other location I've been to (further North in Coraopolis), these are simply the best wings I've ever had outside of Buffalo (the home of wings, and rightly so). In fact, were they in Buffalo, they'd be one of the best wing spots there too, believe it or not. They're not just the best in Pitt.. they're some of the best anywhere. I've yet to try the 3rd location (Carnegie) but based on the first two (Coraopolis and now Avalon), it's likely to be just as perfect. I highly recommend you get the Old Bay, Wet. Which means they are dripping in butter (shush, if you're eating wings you're not eating healthy anyway so get over it and let your heart worry about it), and seasoned to perfection with dark delicious maroon-crimson-reddish Old Bay seasoning. Every wing will rock your world, and you'll wish you had ordered more. Speaking of which, I love that they'll make you just 5 wings (for 6 or so dollars) instead of making you order a full 10 (like most wing places in Buffalo do). If Old Bay isn't your thing, they have, ooh, about 50 other combinations for you to choose from. Take it from this connoisseur... these are some of the best wings you'll ever eat. So when your friends say "where are the best wings in town?" and some fool offers up suggestions such as Hooters or BW3 (eww), then learn from that Richard Dreyfus movie and scream out "WHAT ABOUT BOB'S?" And forget Bobbing for Apples. From now on, when we Bob, we Bob at Bob's for Wings. End of.

    California Love, Buck Nasty, Frank White and The Talk of Beaver Falls. Delicious!!
    Sal M.

    Had to create a Yelp account just for this place. I'm from Cali and my buddy came across this place after the Pirates game. I almost didn't want to stop by, but I'm glad we did. These are the best wings I've ever had. It's a little hole in the wall spot, but they wings are amazing. Living in Cali, I've only ever been to Wingstop. Those are also good, but not as good now compared to these. I couldn't stop eating them. The Buck Nasty, California Love (had to have these), Talk of Beaver Falls and Frank White are the flavors we tried and they did not disappoint. They have plenty more flavors to choose from so I'm already looking forward to my next trip to try some more out, and you better believe I will be back. Big thanks to Matt and crew for the warm hospitality. They were very friendly and welcoming. Definite pros at their craft.

    Wing lovers rejoice! Not only are BSB's wings huge, but you could really never tire of their multitude of strange sauces. And, they deliver! Praise the wing Gods. Having to admit that the delivery guy knows me, and my dog on a personal level is kinda embarrassing, but once you eat from here, you'll know why I love it. My go to is either "Eye of The Tiger", a sweet, peppery medium sauce, or "Pigeon Sauce" a nice, easy mild sauce with parmesan cheese. I've tried some of their other sauces, but these two are perfection on a wing. I've gotten their Steak hoagie, and Italian hoagie, both are great, but they're called a "House of Wings" for a reason. You can't beat their wing and hoagie special, though, if you're trying to feed a few friends! Don't plan on stopping in here and chowing down, they barely have enough room for themselves to cook, let alone you to come in and eat! Just call them and let their amazing delivery team take care of you, and tip them well. Happy Eating!

    Talk of Beaver Falls - I recommend 100%   - Hot and Tangy..   very flavorful
    Nena U.

    Today was an exciting day folks.. we ordered lunch from Big Shot Bobs. It was hard to decide with - what 100 flavors on the menu! Of course I did my research on yelp and read up on some reviews and I took my top five and just picked two at random to try. "Talk of Beaver Falls" - Hot and Tangy. This blend was definitely my favorite..raise the roof! Its true to the name and flavor was very original .. go ahead Big Shot Bobs. These are NOT for sharing that's for sure and I am not sorry. I loved to dip my french fries in the left over sauce. I will never forget those wings. "William Henry Harrison" - Jamaican Jerk and Parmesan Cheese. Very interesting and flavorful however - the wings were in at least an inch of sauce and most of it was butter. and I also tried " Black Frank White" Franks Red Hot and Ranch and Black Magic Seasoning. I was quite intriqued to find out what this seasoning was all about since its peppered throughout the menu. I think it's a blend of seasoned salt and maybe two other spices. Definitely interesting and tasty. The are a dry rub and the franks red hot and ranch combination.. is what ...a match made in heaven of course. The bed of fries were interesting .. the wings are served on top of the fries. What a fun and clever idea! After learning that a plain side of fries is just "meh". I love my wings crispy and well done and this is how the wings are delivered.. horray There is more to the menu than just wings.. salads and sandwiches and when was the last time you saw "Sloppy Joe's" on a menu!! Love it. I am no doubt very impressed.... Thanks Big Shot Bobs!!!

    Our order & SO MUCH MORE!!!

Ida's Sandwich Shop gives all the feels of fresh ingredients and handcrafted food. You know a place is good when people are waiting patiently for their food but with big smiles all around. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the shop was full. The owner warmly greeted us and let us know that it would be about a 40 minute wait! In a world of fast food and rushing, it was fine to sit and talk... so we placed an order. We got the Pittsburgh Chopped Cheese, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich, and a side of Fries. Sitting and waiting proved to be one of the highlights of the experience, the owner while maintaining orders and checking on the cook in the back.. truly cares about the customers. From wiping down tables between guests, to sharing stories with guests about their first visits, to giving expert guidance on Pittsburgh culture.. she made it fun to just sit and be together. The food came out in the order of the orders and WOW IT WAS WORTH IT! The roll and bun were so buttery and crispy that I can't believe every sandwich shop doesn't study it. The chopped cheese was a harmony of perfectly seared peppers and onions with a perfect amount of meat and cheese. The chicken was a tender cutlet with a thin layer of perfect fried crisp and the bacon was high quality crisp, but the provolone was dripping and oozing like a decadent blitz on this sandwich. The fries.. first off... for a side... WOW... these shoestrings filled the container, my tummy, and my heart! Herby seasoning and fresh fresh fresh! The craziest part... the prices are so reasonable! For the love and care put into this food, I'm more than willing to triple my tip next time! Go somewhere where they care about the food, they care about the details, and they care about YOU!

A extra large one topping pizza for delivery should be a set price, why do you need my address to give me this info??? But the real reason for this review is....

Kids being kids, took a little extra effort to properly load the card with the funds, but by this time the folks at the restaurant thought they were playing and said they couldn't order.... The kids bring the issue to me, then i call to try to place the order..... i told the people at the restaurant That my teen boys were tryna order pizza, they're goofy etc and it's not a joke ....... The lady that i was talking to initially had a normal annoyance that anyone would have after dealing with goofy teens, but then she puts this weirdo dude on the phone who then threatens me saying he's gonna call the police to my house if the card declines again!?!?!? UMMMMMMM EXCUSE ME??? At what point do you call the police on someone for not having enough money to pay for something WHILE ordering?? Talking about some credit card fraud?!!!????? (GTFOH!!!) YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO CONCEPTUAL INTELLIGENCE OF BUSINESS ETIQUETTE!! A declined transaction doesn't deem credit fraud....that an astoundingly ignorant statement!!!

I had been there several years ago with the same friend for a hangover curing breakfast of biscuits and Italian sausage gravy, and I remembered how good that was. This time I went to try their house beers, and I was again very happy. The Brewery is a cozy little place tucked in a side street, and the interior is worn but clean and comfortable. The staff are super friendly and efficient, but I should note that it wasn't very busy at the time. In any event, our excellent beers never ran dry, and when we were ready to eat the service was quick. We started with some pickle dip (yum!). My buddy then ordered the black and blue burger - one of his favorites. It's actually a triple patty deal with some hot sausage in the mix. It was messy as hell, but he really enjoyed it. I went with the Buffalo mac-n-cheese. It was very tasty and had a nice kick from the spicy Buffalo chicken. Overall it was a nice experience, and I'll definitely be back. One word of caution though: The Brewery is moving across the street into the old post office building. I'm not sure exactly when this is planned, but I hear it will be soon. The new building is being gutted and refit with everything needed, and will include an outdoor area that can accommodate live music.
