“For a small roadside bar the food is really really great! I'm a wings snob and the wings here check ALL my boxes! Friends also enjoyed the burgers. We have been twice and service was great. Last night there was one bartender and live music so it wasn't slow, but the bartender (sadly, I didn't get her name) was ON TOP OF IT! We NEVER waited for a refill and she often checked in on our large group to make sure we had all we needed. We WILL be back!“

“Delicious, fresh homemade food. The food a service was out of this world! Highly recommend.“

“Stopped here on our way through Monongehela. My husband had the cheese burger and d fries and really enjoyed it. I cannot eat gluten and very rarely find a place that can accommodate me. I had kolbassi with no bun, coleslaw, and they cooked my fries in a separate fryer. Everything was very good!“

“I enjoy going to Bills for breakfast, dinner, and lunch. The food is always good and I love the everyday specials it takes the work out of picking from the several other daily items they offer. The staff is always helpful and food comes out quick.“

“I will not be back, left a $20.00 tip for the waiter and was charged $14.99 as a sweeneys special convenience fee for a party of 3. And the drink prices are out of the park.“

“Food was good. Waiter was friendly! Would definitely go back!“

“Great food,excellent service,and such a cozy atmosphere! We will be back.“

“Portion sizes were very generous. The food was very good. Our waitress was very attentive, even when she had an entire section that was packed. The temperature inside was a little cold, so I'd suggest a light sweater or jacket if you get cold easily. Very good first visit. We look forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu.“

“Lock 4 absolutely rocks! This place brings the kind of energy that makes you excited to sit down and eat. The moment you walk in, the vibe hits you — upbeat staff, great music, and plates flying out of the kitchen looking like pure comfort‑food perfection. Every dish is bold, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. The riverfront setting just amplifies the whole experience. Lock 4 isn’t just a meal… it’s a mood. Highly recommend.“

“First time there this weekend. It was very good. I had the chicken bruschetta pasta. It came with a small salad. The ranch was delicious. They add beets to the salad. They were sweet and made the salad so much better. The pasta was a nice portion. It could have used a bit more flavor for me, but the breadstick added some more garlic flavor. It should come with 2 breadsticks. You can order extra. My husband had the special which was ribs. They were tender and good. His fries were burnt, but he doesn't complain. The slaw was delicious! The building is very nice and it was well staffed. We'd definitely go again.“

“First time here. Wide variety of foods from salads & soups, burgers & wraps, steaks, chicken & pastas. Everything was delicious, large portions & the cakes are huge. Our waitress Kayley was attentive & a delight. We'll ne back tomorrow!“

“We had a great time last night! Axe throwing was with our group was competitive, yet fun! It is nice to have an option of a fun activity after dinner. Staff were friendly and service was excellent.“

“We visited Rizzle’s Roadhouse for the first time today! It is half bar and half restaurant so we expected the typical bar food. WHAT A SURPRISE! THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT! There were four of us and we all agree and will go back even though we live an hour away. We had grilled chicken mahi-mahi, ribs and steak - all excellent! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Made a last minute decision to go out for News years after our original plans changed. Wait time was reasonable and the staff went above and beyond. Food was delicious and thankful we got to celebrate at such a great local restaurant.“

“This is such a nice family restaurant and I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Every time I would go by it, the parking lot would be full. So for today, for my birthday, I told my daughter, I wanted to go to this restaurant and see with all the fuss was about. The service is excellent, and the food was very good. The price was incredible. I had a hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy, unlimited salad bar with a homemade chicken soup that was superb, and free drink all for $13. You can't beat that.“

“Shout outs to Jeters, Angel and Kim, excellent servers in Monongahela, PA. We always enjoy Lou Gneely seating us!“

The hotel has an excellent cook and the entire place is run in a professional manner! It takes me back to when Sunday dinners were a key part of the blessed sabbath! Rating 100!“

“Enjoyed an evening here for the 55th reunion of the BVA class of 1968. The setting was very nice for the some 70 classmates and guests. The buffet dinner was one of the best I have eaten with plenty of great food. The two servers did wonders filling plates and seeing to the needs of all. I understood the establishment worked well with the event organizers. I would not hesitate to attend another function here again.“

They were an excellent resource throughout the planning process right down to the night of. The event was flawless, and we could not have had better partners! I will definitely use them again.“

“Damn good place to relax and throw a couple back. Good atmosphere and crowd. Bar food is off the chain. Its just an all around good place to be. If you haven't been here before, then I suggest a trip and a try out,you don't be disappointed and believe me I'd the you otherwise if it were any other way.“

“Great food & service....perfect place for a pit stop will boating the Mon!“

“just ordered a buffalo chicken becks pizza with bacon cheese fries, hot pepper cheese balls and fried mushrooms. everything was hot and tastes amazing. the delivery driver was so sweet. will definitely be ordering again!“

“First time here so I won't judge but it was wing night and they only had the bar keeper and a cook. So to say service was slow is an understatement. We were there almost 2 hours She was nice but almost seemed like she was new and stranded.

Wings were good.
Would go back.“

“Well, technically this is not a separate restaurant from Denny's. It's predominantly a curated and slightly different menu for the DoorDash/GrubHub/insert-food-delivery-service-here crowd. That said, I haven't had a single negative thing to say. The staff that preps and serves the meals at this Denny's location are the same great staff I enjoy when I go there. Good food, reasonable prices, and smooth service.“

“We were greeting right away. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We ordered wings. The wings we got were much larger than expected so that's a plus for me. The food was delicious. We got our food pretty quick given how many of us tree guys were there.“

“My husband and I stopped in for a late (10pm) dinner after a highschool football game tonight. Upon entering is was clear, like many restaurants and businesses, they were short staffed. They were also super busy, with many larger parties of students, families etc. The very nice girl checking people out as we walked in, told us to find a seat and she would be right w us. She was right w us, she took our drink order, gave us menus and silverware and went to take care of some other guests. She came back, took our orders, kept the drinks coming and checked in on us several times. I also overheard her checking in w the kitchen on a few of our items, all the time keeping a kind and respectful tone of voice. I also observed that Dennys probably had a very busy evening, based on the at the atmosphere in general. However the entire time we were there, I never heard an employee complain or sigh or be disrespectful of each other or to any of the patrons. Everyone especially our waitress, spoke in a kind, mannerly tone and worked as a team. I was very impressed, as these were clearly the younger staff members, wrapping up the closing shift. They kept busy setting up and refilling things for the next day, kept cleaning up and hustling around. I made sure to personally tell the manager, Wayne I believe, as who knows who may or may not see a review. I think it was commendable that the staff worked together and didnt let the stress of a busy shift overwhelm them or affect good customer service. Thanks to all!! Especially, our server, Savannha, and Amanda, Caitlin, Lily and Becca... and the kitchen staff!“
