    Fresh Cut Potatoes w/ Nacho Cheese & Bacon
    Rachel Macie H.

    Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes did i say that there are potatoes here? There's only potatoes here that come in a few variations of them for me it was all about the nacho cheese and bacon because who doesn't love a pile of that goodness all over some spuds! The Potato Patch is located inside Kennywood Park and is pretty much a staple to the park this is something that you just get when you come here as who doesn't love fresh cut fried potato goodness! These fries do not disappoint and are a must for anyone who pays a visit to this amazing park! Overall fried fresh cut potatoes that are perfect for sharing in a day in the park you so know that your going to want some so just get them! I'm sure I'll be back here again at some point because why not this is the perfect snack or should I say meal because the portion is a good size after riding some awesome coasters!

    The potato patch is a usual stop for a lot of people when at Kennywood. I would recommend going earlier in the day because the lines can get pretty crazy. As for the quality of the food, are the French fries the best I've ever had? No, but they are all part of the kennywood experience and are very good. The fries are obviously made fresh and you can definitely taste the different. They can come topped with a variety of different seasonings. The cheese sauce that comes with them is really good and always served very hot. My main issue with the fries is I feel they are too soggy. Also, the seasonings all just get thrown in top rather than coating all of the fries. Still very good however. Make sure to use the malt vinegar with them!

    I mean... who doesn't go to Kennywood and not get these fries... if you don't know what Kennywood is then you're in for a treat. Do not pass up the fries!!! These ones had cheese and bacon... these are not bacon bits. It was real cooked bacon, cooked perfectly, and chopped up. You get all the greasy bacon flavor and everything. So yum!!!

    Tastes just how I remember them. I wish the fries had been a little hotter & less soggy but the cheese on top definitely made them. Not here for something healthy or gourmet - just classic pittsburgh potato patch fries

    The best summer and school picnic memories are the Potato Patch Fries. Who hasn't gone to Kennywood and not tried the fries? You either love them or hate them, for me I am a LOVER. It is a must visit, when at the park. Thick hand-cut fries with the skins on, covered in a choice of toppings. The family love's their fries smothered in gravy. I prefer the garlic or season salt. Potato Patch Fries are a meal in itself. YES! the lines can be long at times and dreadful, as some have comment, especially during the lunch and dinner hour. If you know what to expect and can plan accordingly, it is so dreadful a line or a wait. They are well worth the it !!!. Kennywood has opened more lines so that the line moves more quickly. They understand how popular the fries have become, and how important a favorite they are to Kendywood park goers. There is also plenty of seats or wall area to sit on. I cannot comment on the service at the window, I am always the one searching for a seat. I have not heard any complaints that people have made around me or my family has comment on during any visit.

    If you live in Pittsburgh, you have to visit Kennywood and you have to eat at The Potato Patch at LEAST once. It's just one of our rules. But why you'd stop at just once I don't know, because these fries are great! They're thick-cut, fresh, and will be piping hot and covered in the toppings you want when they're served - so as far as I'm concerned they're everything you'd want from a really good batch of fries. It's not uncommon to see a line as you walk by The Potato Patch, but usually it moves very quickly so don't let it scare you off! If you're ready for lunch, just step in behind someone and start thinking about what you want on your hand cut fries. I usually just go for cheese and gravy and add some ketchup on the side, but they'll also add on some vinegar and a few other ingredients if you want them. Once you order you'll just have to wait briefly for the staff to hand you your container of fries and a fork, and from there, it's chow time! There's some seating available right next to the stand, although depending on the crowd that day you may have to eat while standing. A few other notes from me about the Potato Patch: they just serve a standard sized order, so depending on how hungry you are you may want to share it with a friend. (Or not!) I also know from experience that sometimes the gravy isn't particularly thick, resulting in most of it sliding to the bottom of the bin. Personally I'm fine with this, since it means the last few bites of fries are soaked in gravy and it's absolutely delicious, but it may be something to keep in mind based on personal taste. Overall though, 2 big thumbs up from this gal! Now when do I get to go back to Kennywood and get more of these fries?

    Bacon and cheese potato patch fries!

    Definitely one of the main reasons I still come to Kennywood! Their fries make every trip worth it. Came here on a fright night and as expected the lines were ridiculously long, but moving. They had four different registers. They don't have many options but they don't need to. The fries with bacon and cheese are $7.99 and the best. They always give a hearty amount of fries topped with copious amounts of their cheese sauce and bacon bits. Their cheese sauce is rich, creamy and cheesy and does not taste artificial and their bacon is fatty and crunchy. All together with the fresh cut fries makes an amazing meal always. It was perfect on a chilly fall night to warm me up. Make sure to stop by here if you're at Kennywood! A childhood favorite that still makes my stomach happy!

    No line and quick service! Some of the fries weren't cooked all of the way but still a go to while at Kennywood.

    Fries with cheese and bacon!

    I like cheese fries. Don't get the bacon. It's too greasy and will make you sick. I will be back here.

    Great daily food specials for lunch and dinner. Tasty meatloaf special is a great comfort dish…read more Homemade soups are really good. Good menu selection including the Turkey Bacon Club, and the Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches are my favorites . Bartenders are very friendly and accommodating. There's a small dining room separate from the smoking bar area. Clean accommodations. Nice beer selection at reasonable prices. If I'm the area stop by, you won't be disappointed.

    While my husband and I were across the street getting our tires rotated, we decided we needed…read morelunch. The only real choice in that area is Homeville Trolley Stop. No interest in midday drinking, we decided to pop around back into the little casual cafe (the bar area is out front). The tiny space has a handful of booths, a table, and 4 bar stools. It's not much to look at - no decorations, low ceiling tiles, and just super plain. But the place appeared clean, and the staff is so nice and attentive. I'd give them 4 stars for that! The food is a bit better than standard bar food. I ordered a fried chicken salad. The iceberg lettuce (ugh) was accompanied by a handful of cucumber slices, banana pepper rings, red onion, some cheese, and what I think was boneless, sliced chicken fingers. I opted against having fries in my salad. I also picked off the handful of cherry tomatoes. The dressing - balsamic vinaigrette- was good. My husband enjoyed his club sandwich on rye with American cheese. Apologies - forgot to take food pics!
