Just based on the food ... EXCELLENT. I have ordered the steak salad a couple times before and it is one of the best Pittsburgh steak salads I've ever had. EVERYTHING on the salad is fresh. And when I say fresh I mean FRESH. You can absolutely tell the steak and fries are not frozen like other similar places around Pittsburgh use. Fries are fresh cut and steak is real steak. Portions are very nice (big) and pricing is reasonable. This is my 'go to' for a Pittsburgh steak salad. read more

The Cheers of Penn Hills; a neighborhood club. Might be considered divey anywhere else. Great wings, even if they take a while! Stay for the cool music. Most seem to come for the wings, not necessarily to mingle with others. However, if you're from the area, you'll see someone or two you know and feel at home. I'm not from here. read more

Their fried chicken is the best with the right amount of crunchy, crispy coating and seasoning, the chicken meat is moist and tender. So good that you have the craving for more. read more

Service is great!! Drinks are on point as well. Chill spot, sometimes there a bang on Fridays. I must have the cheese fries and chicken whenever i touchdown Pool tables and drinks, can't go wrong. There's a DJ at times as well. read more

I come to this bar to order their food. Their fried chicken is crispy and delicious. They season their chicken very well. The fries are fresh cut and they offer you a sauce on the side. I enjoy the thoughtfulness of how they package their food. They vent the styrofoam so the contents (fried food) doesn't get soggy with the condensation from the steam. I also enjoy that they serve the sauce on the side and don't smother the decadently crispy chicken with the sauce on top. A lot of restaurants ruin the crispy crunch by doing that. It was a slow day when I went to this dive bar to grab a drink and eat dinner. The service was friendly and relaxed. You can tell it was a community bar. The drinks are reasonably priced. This establishment gives bar more than it gives dive bar or restaurant. There is limited seating besides the bar and a dance floor. It's on the shabby side but once again, the chicken is very good. read more

Nice environment, drinks were good and staff was very nice. Music was also good! We had a very nice time.

BEST CHICKEN PHILLY IN THE CITY I just had to say that so everyone can hear! The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned , grilled onions,peppers, and banana peppers . LOTM for the toppings and the bread was so soft and buttery . Thick cut steak fries for the win 10/10 read more

The Bartender I believe her name is Kiasha overlooked me for at least 10 minutes before coming to service me. Once I was able to try and place my order she gave me receipt paper to right my order myself. I waited over 40 minutes for 2 salads when orders from people who ordered after me came. I was then given the wrong order so I asked "well since you gave me the wrong order can you go check on mine please?" she gave me attitude and was rude. When my order did come she didn't bag it like she did the previous customers instead she plopped it down in front of me then walked away. Kiasha proceeds to aggressively grab a bag so I said I'd bag it myself since she wasn't pleasant towards me and so no further man handling of my food would happen. A back forth happened because I said she did not provide me good service and that she didn't have be rude. Food is good but my overall experience especially for the first time customer was extremely horrible and makes me reconsider ever going back. read more

Great happy hour specials. The chicken is my favorite. I wish they would bring back their chicken and waffles I would be there every weekend for brunch. The atmosphere is safe and friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place needs Bar Rescue!!! waitresses were horrible. They didn't have enough decency to have drink shakers to make the mixed drinks with. The bathrooms were disgusting (woman) I thought I needed a hazmat suit. It was just dark gloomy with no ventilation of fresh air. For as long as they have been open you think they would have remodeled the dance floor by now. Just another ghetto spot in Penn Hills I'd rather have Hoss's back!!!! read more

I haven't had a seafood salad from The Spot on Frankstown in over a year. I must say, The Spot has the best seafood salads around town. If you haven't tried the Spot, you should. Oh, the fries are great too. read more

I love this place. Nice atmosphere, great drinks and the wings & fries are to die for. My favorite drink is the fish bowl very good not water down and the candy give it a sweet touch. The liquid gold sauce is by far the best sauce for the wings. The DJ be on point. There's a $5 cover charge at a certain time, security will pat you down and ladies leave the big purses in the car. Great spot for the 30's and over crowd. read more

I went on a Thursday night, which is wing night. The wings were 50 cents. I ordered fries with cheese sauce, 10 wings and a Long Island ice tea and it only cost me $11. The food was really good and I definitely couldn't eat it all. My only complaint is it took me an hour to get my food. read more

The food used to be good. But the wings, although seasoned well, used to be a nice size but the last two times the wings have been tiny. Like two bites and you're done tiny. The fries have improved and the catfish is good. The main attraction has always been the wings though. I've always gotten the food to go so I can't speak on service. The orders take awhile but ordering online with 45-60 minutes advance times works out. The place has had a broken window in the front for many months & it's dark inside. read more

This place is horrible. Please if you are the owner, please check your waitresses. Or better yet fire them!! If you work in the customer service business, i.e. waitressing, please know that it is customer service. You service the patron with a smile, a greeting, a hello!! NOT A BAD ATTITUDE! Not serving my food or drink, I don't want it anymore! read more

They have such a laughable staff and so rude to their customers. the poor communication skills, the dense and rude bouncers telling is we're too loud in a club.....the VIP manager having no clue, racist staff to the men we were with. Will not go back. read more

I brought 20 Chicken Wings at the Spot Restaurant in Pennhills, and I was Charged 33.00. The wings was So so "small" and they weren't appetizing at all, so therefore I call to let the Cooks know that I wasn't satisfied, she was argumentative, & start telling me how much it cost them for a 10lb bag etc. THE WORSE PLACE TO GET WINGS IN PENNHILLS. Go to a different restaurant, save yourself tine And money. read more

I've ordered the chicken wings twice thus far. They are fried just right but are a little too salty for my liking. I'm not sure if they are following a "recipe" or if the cook is just heavy handed with the season salt, but try them for yourself ! Oh, and you only get the $0.50 deal if you eat in! read more

My experience at The Spot Etc was absolutely horrendous. The only reason I had heard of this uninviting place was because I wanted to attend DJ Clockwork's tribute show to Mac Miller on the one year anniversary of his death. All I can really say is that Malcolm would have been highly disappointed with how his fans were treated at this shallow venue. Let me paint the scene of my story for you. My fiancé, brother, and I (avid concert-goers) have never heard of this venue and had difficulty finding its location. After missing the turn at least three times, we pulled up to the parking lot and got out of the car. As we were walking toward the building (which was an old Hoss's split in half and shared with a spay/neuter clinic) a grungy man who posed as a worker approached us. With his orange construction vest and what resembled a Macy's shopping bag he asked us if we wanted to buy "light ups" referring to the glow bracelets in his shady bag. At first it was misleading as if it were a required bracelet for admission. We declined and continued to the building to stand in line outside. The doors were supposed to open at 7:00 PM, but actually opened at almost 7:30 PM. Since we arrived early to guarantee a good spot, we had to stand in the sun for an hour and a half because the doors were delayed. While standing in line, many of the attendees were unpleasant to be around. For example, the people behind us were openly drinking in line. They were extremely obnoxious and should have been asked to leave. However, due to the lack of basic management, no workers were around to take care of the issue. Furthermore, during our lengthy wait time, at least three or four people tried to pose as workers of the venue and tried to explain instructions for paying. We were told multiple different things such as, "You must pay ten dollars online and ten dollars at the door" being one prime example. While standing in line, the same man who was selling bracelets was now directing traffic by announcing, "If you parked at the restaurant next door you need to move your car or else it will be towed." At last the line started moving and we arrived at a circular table outside the main entrance of the former Hoss's. We finally were able to speak to the very first employee we saw from this appalling establishment. The employee was undeniably under the influence of alcohol or some type of drug. He wanted us to pay online through some sketchy website and our phones were not working so we wanted to pay cash inside. He said that was fine and directed his hand toward the door for us and began talking to the group behind us. As my brother went to open the door handle the employee exclaimed, "Whoa, whoa! Where do you think you are going? Don't you want to get back into this place if you leave?" (No, not really.) So after he said that to my brother, he continued talking to the group behind us. The group suggested to him that maybe he should finish taking care of us before proceeding to talk to them. Now the worker says, "What about procedures, man?" and proceeds to draw a black "X" on our hands with a magic marker. Now, we have finally entered the dusty building! We were finally in and getting our ID's ready for security in the former ordering line in Hoss's. As we approached the bouncer, my brother goes first and turns the corner to go pay. (I later found out the bracelet man had a table of glow bracelets set up inside.) It is now my turn, and the bouncer tells me to "take the strap off" in reference to my tiny crossbody purse that is Stage AE-approved. It was across my torso, so I removed it and opened it for him. He responded rudely, "No. Take the strap off of your purse or you are not going in." Meanwhile, it is extremely loud and hard to hear in this place as Mac's "3rd Dimension" was bumping. I told him, "The strap doesn't come off?" My purse had chain links at the bottom of the strap. What did he want me to do? Break out my handy dandy tool kit? Please keep in mind that I checked the website for a bag policy prior to arriving at this venue because I have a medication I need to carry with me. Also, there were no signs posted and no instructions given outside. Again, terrible management. So naturally the bouncer very rudely told me I can't go in. I asked him if I could at least turn the corner and get my brother so that we could leave in which he told me no. Now my fiancé had to get patted down (and ball-tapped) by this creep to get my brother so that we could leave. As he was doing that I stormed out of the building, making sure to inform anyone with a strapped bag of this absurd situation. I strided past the worker with the magic marker and waited for my fiancé and brother to meet me. (part 1; please see my attached photo for part 2) read more

New to Pittsburgh I've made this place my Friday night hangout place. Great LIVE music, and a very hospitable crowd. The decor is as old school as the music that they play, if you're there for the music you'll be fine. As a dude I was also impressed by the beautiful woman. Be foreWarned at around 9pm the crowd begins to change-- younger hip hop crowd arrives for the hip hop scene. Best time to exit the building. read more
