Stopped in for lunch based on Yelp reviews and we found a very clean, simple restaurant with a pleasant hostess/server. The food was excellent. The French onion soup was very very good. Hubby had the Italian beef and I had a Pittsburgh chicken salad. Both were fresh, tasty and very filling. We will be back to try other menu items.

Cheeseburger looked good, but when I took it apart to add the mayo there was a band-aid in it. Never got to eat anything. Couldn't get the thought of ungloved hands with open sores out of my head. Still can't. They still charged the guy I was with too.Burger looked like it would've been really good tho.

The staff here are amazing. I ordered the Pittsburgh salad and it was so flavorful and delicious. This is a solid diner!
A nice cozy restaurant. Fish fry was excellent. Great French onion soup. Creme brulee for dessert was delicious as well.

The Italian beef sandwich was advertised as top 10 in wny and they ain’t lying. Great flavor and texture in every bite. Perfect amount of cheese. Fry’s came out great. Asked for seasoned and they were perfect. Service was fantastic. Made sure everything was great and quick. Will definitely be

So mixed reviews on this place....First the positive; Food is really good. You can tell that there is a lot of care placed in the presentation and flavor profile of the dishes. French Onion soup was outstanding. Perfectly broiled and rich in stock. Bavarian pretzel appetizer was large, well baked with a delightful cheese sauce that was definitely house made (which is a good thing). Spicy and smooth. Definitely a must get. The Cuban sandwich I got was presented nicely, However the meat was old and you could taste it. Severely diminishing what the sandwich could have been. With fresh meats I'm sure it would have been fantastic. The Fajita wrap was amazing. Good combination of flavor and heat, well constructed and served with a generous portion of fries, it is a win for a great lunch or dinner option. Now to the negatives; The service was horrendous. We walked in slightly after opening. The first person to greet us was a young woman named Hailey. Completely unfriendly right off the bat. No smile, no eye contact...in fact I think she may have even rolled her eyes when we asked for a table. I'm talking this person oozed disdain. Took us to our table and threw the menus down and walked away without saying a word. I assumed at this point this was the hostess so didn't really make a big deal about it. But no, she was our "server". I do this in quotations because throughout our service, another woman whose name was MacKenzie touched our table more than she did. Mackenzie was fantastic. Hailey did bring over our drinks...complete with side eye and haughtiness. I literally felt like I had wronged this girl in another life by the way she was treating us. This has to be the owners daughter or something because there is no way this person can treat customers like this on a daily basis and get away with it. Simply unbelievable in the hospitality business. But despite all that, I would still recommend this place. The food being worth the treatment is still up for debate.
