Interchange Lounge

The food is always good and so is the service we eat here regular have not had a bad experience the pork chops are a favorite of mine the prices are reasonable the owner and his wife are great people. It has a nice little u shaped bar

EVERYONE in the area knows the interchange for its huge portions!!! The apps are half price everyday if you sit at the bar… Otherwise in the dining room, they are full price. You can order one meal to split practically. The prices are a little high on dinner entrees, but for this reason. Their breaded mushrooms are the size of baseballs no joke, and are delicious :) I tried the chicken Marsala last time and I cant say I’d get it again, but my boyfriends hot sausage sandwich was delicious. he had enough left over for lunch the next day, too.

Tried to get into a few places last night but everyone in Pittsburgh must have decided to take advantage of the weather as our usual «go to» places had 1 hour plus waits (Gianna Via’s, Armstrong’s, Pasta Too, and Bravo’s). We have heard about The Interchange Lounge from friends and decided to give it a try. Below is a summary of both myself and The Birds review:
We we were both in the mood for some Pasta. I had the ravioli and she had the baked pasta.
Pros:
1. Bartenders were great.
2. Drink prices were super cheap. (And strong).
3. Waitress was very nice as was the hostess. Also very attentive to our needs.
4. Food prices were very reasonable.
5. Short wait for a table (around 7:45pm on a Saturday).
Cons:
1. Red Sauce had zero flavor. We both thought perhaps salt was missing.
2. Presentation was also «different «. Sauce was placed on the bottom and the pasta was placed on top without any additional sauce. Did not make for an appetizing dish.
Neither Pro or Con.
1. Place reminds me of a «social/fireman’s club». I’ve had some great food at these places.
2. Parking can be tricky as you may have to back out onto the main road when leaving.
I always like to give a place a few chances and I am a pasta snob having grown up Italian with some of the best pasta/​sauce/​pizza makers (Gram, Mum, Aunts, mine :) so pasta and sauce is always a tough sale for me (although Pasta Too and Gino’s in Greensburg get me).
When I was leaving I did see a hamburger come out that looked pretty good. However I’ll have to go by myself or with someone else since The Bird is never going back.

Ordered from here Saturday. Roast beef wedgie was horrible. No flavor. The lettuce & tomatos were wilted. My BF ordered a tumbleweed burger & it was equally flavorless & disappointing. We will never order from here again.

stopped for dinner last night. place was crowded so we took a table in the bar. we were waited on by TIFFANY (the bartender). she was loaded with personality and a really good waitress. wife had really good scrod dinner in lemony butter, she love it. I had chicken parmesan it was great, but it was so huge I invited TIFFANY to share it with me.(she was tempted) go eat and drink there and if your are lucky Tiffany will serve you. You’ll love her.

Did not like the place we were her a couple times to see if the food had changed but it did not the food is not that good it taste different every time I will not go back

The signature sandwich is fantastic. A LARGE amount of real roasted beef with aus jus. Also really enjoy the Sicilian x large pizza– perfect for feeding many children.

Have had their pizza a few times and it was fine, not great, but ok. Tonight, we tried their Sicilian pizza. I would say that 95% of the pizza was dough. It almost had the nice greasy, fluffy taste of Pizza Hut dough, except way more dough. There was very little sauce or cheese with just the right amount of pepperoni. Some of the pizza was over cooked too and we were very disappointed with our dinner. I doubt we will try there again.

Food isn’t that good it taste different every time no steady cook

What a hidden gem! Me and my family went here for lunch today. Terrific lunch buffet if you are in a hurry and want a quick bite. Buffet had wings, puzzled, homemade wedding soup and chicken stir fry. The wings were served dry with sauces on the side. Just how I like it. My wife had a great chicken salad with fresh cut fries. Both owners greeted our table to ask how things were going. Check out their web site. The dinner menu looks awesome. It’s a bit hidden off of route 51, but it’s worth the search.

I recently tried the Interchange. There aren’t many places left out that way so this is a real oasis as far as I’m concerned. It has just the right mix for me; casual and very friendly and with some very good items on the menu. Their fish sandwich lives up to Pittsburgh tradition. The pasta is great too. I think they make their own sauce. We had an appetizer that consisted of fried mozarella, shrimp, zuccinni, and chicken. All of it was good but the chicken was out of this world. Before I forget, the last trip we started at the bar, it was happy hour, and enjoyed $.99 Captain and ginger. Can’t beat that and the bartender was really friendly and accomodating. if you find yourself East of Century III and wonder where to go, this is it.

The food here was fine. My personal experience was not great, but everyone else in my party seemed satisfied and the prices were so low I can’t complain. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened, and I understand that can be stressful for a hostess, but we would have been happy to wait outside. They offered to seat us, which was a nice gesture, but we then overheard 2 of the 3 members of the wait staff talking about how unprepared they were to seat us at that time and how it was an inconvenience. It was clearly stressing them out, and the whole situation made all of us feel a bit uncomfortable. Luckily, the 3^rd waitress was much more relaxed.
