Aracri’s Greentree Inn

This place looks old and incredibly dated, and sort of felt like it might have been a happening lounge in the 70’s, but I dig that sort of thing. The menus say they were established in 67, and it’s not hard to imagine they were the neighborhood «fancy» dining establishment back then. Food was decent and the staff was friendly. I have no complaints and I would probably eat here again if I was in the area.

Real nice place. People nice and food great. Nice homemade salad dressings. On business so was a good choice. Will come back

We checked this place out because it was close to our hotel and it was one of the few non-​chain restaurants we saw. The service was very friendly. The food was just okay. I ordered the fettuccini alfredo with lump crab and they said the sauce is freshly made in house, but it sincerely tasted like it was out of a bottle. It wasn’t tasty/​fresh enough to have been over $ 20. The salad was just the typical iceberg lettuce salad.

Went for a friend’s birthday hour last Friday. Most appetizers half off, and drink specials like $ 5 wine by the glass… generous pour! We got to sit outside on the
covered patio. Excellent quick service. My husband I split the fried zucchini and white pizza with chicken. Loved it, and would recommend!

Been coming here for 30 years or so. Always good food at a good price. Great service. Nice variety.

I travel a lot and one of the few benefits of that lifestyle is the opportunity to visit local restaurants. I usually stay away from places with less than 8 cars in the parking lot but there wasn’t really any other place to eat aside from an Olive Garden, which isn’t really food IMHO.
I decided to stop in and get my meal to go as I was fresh off of a construction site and my attire did not match the surroundings or the current clientele. I ordered a shrimp scampi appetizer and a fettucini fro diavlo. When I got the food back to the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised to find the order well packed with a salad and even a dinner roll. The shrimp scampi was excellent and my only complaint was that the shrimp had not been cleaned.

Came in here just reading some reviews, figured, I’ll give it a shot, they were good.
I walked in to an empty restaurant and was worried, but the owner Frank was there to greet me and how pleasant he was. He saw the concern on my face and brought me over to family pictures showing how long the restaurant has been in business and has been a success.
So, not knowing what to order, because so many things looked yummy, he suggested the Pork Chop Florentine, OMG!!! DELICIOUS!!!
AND he prepared it himself!
I definitely, highly, recommend dining here when in the Pittsburgh/​Greentree area.
The reason for 4 starts not 5, the wine choices are lacking but the Red Rock Malbec was nice with the meal.
And Stephanie the bartender, super sweet and makes you feel like you’re a regular.
Great place!!!

When trying to think of where to go for a steak dinner The Greentree Inn came to mind. I had never been here in all the years of living so very close. I was glad I chose this establishment. Food was excellent and I loved the feel of the place

The place looks like something from the Godfather — old school 1970 dark and gloomy wood paneling. Complete with crap brown pleather chairs and fake wood tables. The food was cooked well, but lackluster. I got veal picata which mostly had the flavor of flour and beef broth. On the plus, the staff was very nice and very attentive.
Management — you really need to update the place.

Love, love, loved their onion rings. The English style scrod is very good also. The Big Lebowski was on when we came here and people were dressed up like the movie’s characters. It looks like a ski lodge on the inside. Service was acceptable.

Feeling peckish on the day before Easter, Kay and I utilized our holidays from our respective jobs to get some shopping done and to get lunch at a place I’d been neglecting to try, one that I’ve flew past more times than I know.
High ceilings, olden décor, antiques, and wooden beams caught my eye as I entered this 45 year old establishment, as did the portly gentleman (owner? manager? head cook?) wearing a deep blue t-​shirt emblazoned with the visage of Walter Sobchak.
Minutes after we were seated, we saw someone dressed as Walter Sobchak.
As luck would have it, a screening of Joe and Ethan Coen’s cinematic tour de force «The Big Lebowski» was taking place with many of our fellow, good-​natured diners impersonating the quirky film’s various characters. And this dude abided.
Starting us off was a helping of Aracri’s «famous» Onion Rings, and they have a right to be famous considering their lightly battered, fried-​to-​bronze, not-​overly-​oily properties.
Considering we weren’t out of the Lenten forest just yet, I decided to stay on Jesus’ good side (And I ain’t talkin’ about Mr. Quintana. What would The Dude, do, anyway? He’d screw up like me and have lamb and chicken on Good Friday, testin’ the Christman as if he’d really care if he walked the Earth today…) and order the Crab Cakes. Broiled expertly, served with tartar sauce, and generously stuffed with jumbo lump, each cake was as moist as a pumpkin pie, and neither possessed much in the way of filler.
The french fries were a bit limp and dark, a tell-​tale sign that they were merely blanched once in boiling fat that was in need of being changed.
Also had was something emblematic of Middle America, a salad I hadn’t eaten in a few years and never in a restaurant. An Iceberg Wedge Salad complete with bleu cheese dressing (not my favorite, but it was the only choice I was given) and bacon bits. For burps and chuckles I ordered it an was surprised at how much enjoyment I gained from breaking it down, making sure each forkful of fresh lettuce arrived in my mouth coated in the biting, milky dressing and fatty, crunchy, briny bacon, the tragically unheralded and sometimes derided salad succeeding through simplicity and tradition.
Dessert was a pecan ball slathered in whipped topping from a plastic tub and hot fudge that was irradiated in a glass jar (Smuckers be thy name?). It quelled my angry sweet tooth and little more.
Aracri’s is one of those venerable suburban restaurants that deserves its longevity and its continued business, thriving on the standards and ignoring that which is trendy and new.
P. S. Wouldja believe I’ve never seen «The Big Lebowski» in its entirety? I guess I need to get on that. Until Netflix leads me towards enlightenment, this has always been my preferred Coen Brothers piece, standing as tall as John Goodman himself on my list of all-​time cherished films…

Once enjoying my crisp cool water. Our orders were taken promptly, I ordered the chicken club and customized it with a side of coleslaw. My better half had the fish sandwich with a coleslaw as well. The food came like the wind, the coleslaw was damn good! The best. Our sandwiches couldn’t have been better if Jesus himself made them. All around it was the bee’s knees.

The food and service were very good. The food is made from scratch on premises. The restaurant is owned and run by two brothers from the Green Tree area. I admire this and always try to give my business to local family run places like this. My only gripes are the limited selection at the bar and I feel the prices for food are very expensive for the portions you receive.
