Consistently neighborhood-​dive-​bar food. Inexpensive, good wings, GREAT happy hour.

The big problem here is not the food; it’s the flies.
C’mon ownership, act like you are actually concerned about all the flies in your restaurant. The scenario is getting really old.
Today, upon entering the restaurant, both front doors were propped OPEN, letting even more flies in.
Invest in a couple of bug zappers or some flypaper.
Your servers should be saying «would you like a menu and a fly swatter?»

Great service from OriAnna. She is always kind, attentive, and friendly. We have been seated with her many times now and will request her upon next time we go back. The food is delicious, my favorite thing to get is the pretzel melt or the gyro. And they have the have the best fries. They have a low key bar atmosphere which is great for after a long day of work. We will definitely be back in the near future.

It has been several years since I visited this restaurant. Due to previous experiences, it has not been on my list of places to visit again. We decided to give it a try last night and were extremely happy. There were six of us, and our demands were not simple. We had two children with us, and they were very happy with their meals (mac and cheese and a grilled cheese). My son even wanted a second grilled cheese and it was done in minutes.
Three of us had pasta dishes, the portions were generous and we had enough to take home for lunch the next day. I had the Eggplant Rotollo which was lightly breaded with a pink sauce served over penne. I thought it was excellent!
If you are taking more than 4 or 5 people, it’s probably best to call ahead of time, as they will save tables for you. We were fortunate that it wasn’t too busy and we were able to be seated right away.
Our waitress, Jamie, was amazing and she didn’t skip a beat. If you are looking for fine dining, this isn’t it. The bar/​lounge is very large and you walk into it as soon as you walk into the Restaurant, but there is no smoking so it wasn’t a problem for us. We will definitely be visiting again, as this experience was really good.

I’ve been to better places and definitely had much better food. A bar trying to do food.
I had a steak, string beans, fries, apple juice. The steak was a good softness, but no flavor at all, usually you salt & pepper the steak before grilling it, the string beans were fresh but under cooked, the fries were crunchy, I wasn’t expecting that, but they were some what adequate. My apple juice came warm with no ice. A least I won’t die of hunger, but if I had to choose again, oh HELL NO!!!

I had dinner with an old acquaintance here a few days ago because it’s near where he lives and where I work (also, he had a coupon).
It’s a bar/​restaurant and thus has the usual bar/​restaurant menu and feel to it. The front of the building has the bar, the round tables, a slot machine, and so forth — things that give it a bar feel. The back has a quiet seating area. I actually like that this place offers both seating arrangements, so that was fine by me.
My dinner was just a salmon burger, which tasted ok. It wasn’t the best salmon burger ever, but I do give the place credit for bringing me my food not totally assembled; I could choose which toppings I wanted and how much dressing I wanted, which is something every place should do in my opinion.
Also: the fries here are delicious. Really, truly delicious.
But still, this place is a bit out of my way for some good fries. If I need to grab a quick bite with someone after work, maybe — otherwise, I may never eat here again. The food wasn’t bad. Just wasn’t amazing, either.

I ate here this past Friday evening with my girlfriend. Whenever we were seated I looked up and saw many turn of the century pictures of downtown Pittsburgh which I enjoyed.
For dinner I decided on having the eggplant rotollo and chose a side of French onion soup. The soup was flavorful with the onion and cheese adding to the salty broth. I was a little disappointed in the lack of croutons though. Whenever my entrée came out I was excited as it looked good. However I was not a fan of the eggplant as I thought it was a bit greasy. So I ended up eating the ricotta cheese out of the middle of them before my girlfriend finished the eggplant. The tomato cream sauce ended up being the best part of my dish as it had a good thickness to it and tasted rich.
The bottom line for me is that I would probably not head back here in the future. Nothing really stood out to me and I was not overly enthralled with my entrée.
