“Highly recommend !!!Great food even better people !!“

“We ordered the blooming onion with the homemade sauce. Amazing! The cabbage and noodles was outstanding. We also ordered the fried chicken pierogi bowl with a homemade gravy, corn, and chicken scrumptious! We will be back.“

“Skip the fastfood and checkout Quality Time & Carry Out. From awesome sandwiches and wraps to fresh salads, these guys know how to combine flavors to create delicious spins on traditional fare that kicks it up into the next level. Way more nutritious than fast food, for about the same price and very comfortable, family friendly atmosphere. If you haven't made it here, you definitely want to. Also, don't forget their breakfasts are awesome and at great prices too.“

“Tee, our server, was wonderful. She was always available without being bothersome, and very pleasant. It was our first time there, but won't be our last. The lemon flounder was delicious, but a tad salty. The pilaf and green beans were terrific sides. And the smoked salmon appetizer was repeat worthy.“

“I do love a good diner and this is very certainly one of them. When the food brings you back to your childhood memories — that’s culinary art at its finest.

Absolute gem of a place, lovely staff, and friendly diners around you. The food is unpretentious, simple, fresh, and perfect. Gave me comfort I really needed.

(Even if I am criminal for ordering meatloaf dinner at breakfast 😎)

10/10.
Absolute institution.
Will dine again.

👏 Oui K & N!“

“Great food Nice location and atmosphere“

“I had hot roast beef and my husband had hot turkey. everything was delicious. portions were large. no wonder you all have been in business for 60 yrs. we will be back.“

“First time here and actually enjoyed it. We eat out alot trying new places. This place is a nice small restaurant and loved the older style. If you're into fancy plates and high prices maybe Pittsburgh is more for you. The prices was very reasonable and the waitress was friendly. The wait may have been a little long, but life's to short for me to always be in a hurry anywhere. I get my belly filled on a full plate at a basic place, then I ever will a rich style where I'm paying for fancy. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food! We had the fish bites with fries and wings. Really good!“

“I've been there about 6 times and always for dinner. Excellent burgers, chicken sandwich. Today I got their chili. Some of the best chili I ever had.“

“Stacy our server went above and beyond to provide a safe birthday lunch atmosphere with our 1 yr old unvaccinated baby. We were distant seated, our server wore mask when attending our table and provided a birthday dessert! Food was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“I love the double cheeseburger 🍔 and fries 🍟“

“Always number one!! The people there are so kind. Recently I went there to meet a group of friends and couldn’t navigate the steps on a mobility scooter. Alex, Jodi and a group of workers immediately took over helping me walk 3 steps while others picked up my scooter and carried it!! It still warms my heart. The food was excellent and service was excellent. Atmosphere has always been classy and welcoming!“

“Great food. Great prices. And really friendly server. Best wishes to him in the US and when he returns to India.“

“I love this place! Good food and I occasionally get a drink with my late Sunday breakfast. They had mimosas for Mother’s Day but I didn’t indulge. Their pancakes are really good and huge. I will occasionally get the big breakfast so I can share a pancake with my husband and daughter. It’s delicious!“

“⭐️REVIEW: Chef Bobby’s Bourbon Tasting Dinner at Ohana Lounge — A Must-Experience Event! ⭐️

If you ever get the chance to attend a bourbon pairing dinner created by Chef Bobby at Ohana Lounge… RUN, don’t walk, to get your tickets. I had the absolute pleasure of attending his Jefferson’s Bourbon Dinner, and I’m still thinking about it days later.

From the second we walked in, you could tell how much heart, talent, and detail Chef Bobby poured into this experience.
He personally designed the entire menu, prepared every dish, and set the full vibe — the place settings, table layout, napkins, ambiance… every single detail was intentional and flawless.

🍽 THE FOOD — Out of This World
• Appetizers: A crab-stuffed mushroom along with an Italian-sausage stuffed mushroom with red sauce. Both were unreal. Rich, flavorful, and absolutely fabulous.
• Salad: A beautifully chopped mix of romaine and leafy greens, perfectly portioned and balanced with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, banana peppers, and onions. The homemade balsamic vinaigrette was next-level (and I don’t say that lightly, because I LOVE a homemade ranch).
• Entrée: Melt-in-your-mouth prime rib — insanely tender. The crusted chicken was juicy, flavor-packed, and topped with the most delicious pan roasted tomatoes. The vegetables were perfectly steamed and seasoned, and the potatoes were spot-on… soft but not soggy, just how they should be.
• Dessert: A cheesecake that deserves its own award. Light, dreamy, topped with the perfect sliced strawberry, strawberry gel, and a homemade whipped cream that I’m still craving. Truly unforgettable.

🥃 THE BOURBON PAIRINGS
Jefferson’s Bourbon sent a phenomenal rep who walked us through each tasting — the aging process, flavor notes, origin stories, barrel finishes. Each bourbon was thoughtfully paired with the course, and the experience felt elevated, educational, and fun.

✨ THE EXPERIENCE
Chef Bobby wasn’t just behind the scenes — he was on top of every detail, every plate, every moment. You could feel the passion he puts into his craft, and it made the evening more special than I could have imagined.

If Ohana Lounge hosts another event where Chef Bobby is curating the menu… get those tickets immediately. This man knows how to create an experience, not just a fabulous meal.

10/10 — Truly unforgettable.
Thank you, Chef Bobby! 👏🔥“

“First time visiting. Definitely worth the drive from Pittsburgh. Easily accessible, convenient parking. Party of two, dined inside. Enjoyed appetizers, entree and dessert. Food was delicious, and excellent - PERSONAL - service. Our waitress was Janet, and she was absolutely wonderful. Ended up striking conversation with her and another couple. Will definitely be returning!“

“The chicken was delicious, as was the gold bbq! Super friendly and fast service! Hope to see you back @ LP!!“

“we were here this evening 2-15-2025 for our 20 year anniversary. we had our reception here so long ago. we were heart broken when it burnt down then remodeled an we didn't go back but today we did an OMG so glad we did the scenery a tad different, the food was amazing very very good an hit just the right spot. The highlight was our server Belle she was so sweet, an kind her suggestions were spot on an she just made the night even more magical. I highly highly recommend going here an if you do ask for Belle she will guide you in the right direction if you have any questions an her suggestions are perfect. thank you Belle an Kaufman House for a perfect anniversary dinner“

“Food was excellent! I got the sirloin and shrimp with a salad and onion rings. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was... which is probably why I enjoyed it so much. The location and appearance of this restaurant will fool you if you let it...but if you can get past that and be seated, you will enjoy yourself.“

“The food and service are always great, we always enjoy it here. Steak salads are phenomenal“

“Clean establishment with great, well priced food and the best maintained pool tables in the area.“

“Historic venue with old time dining rooms. It is a different experience with a special atmosphere. Service was good, and food was very good. Prices were reasonable. Great list of draft beers including many selections of different beer types. We will be back soon.“

“Great wings and also great steak sandwiches“

“This gem of a restaurant has the best food around. I had the Spicy ham sandwich and my friend had the Unsusal Turkey Club. Delicious! Great staff as well. Definitely be going back soon!“

“Great food and service!! I will definitely go back“

“My favorite place in ambridge! Great food, service, atmosphere, and prices!“

“Our server DJ is absolutely amazing! She is the most attentive server we have ever had. Priceless“

“Had lunch there today with a friend, and we both were very pleased for our first visit. The service was excellent - server was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The food was amazing! Produce was fresh for the salad and the meat was savory and seasoned to perfection. Will definitely return.“

“I finally got to stop by here today for lunch . The honey fried chicken was great as well as the Mac and cheese 😋“

“All the servers are friendly Good food You don’t have to wait long for your food It is close to my house I enjoy going there See a lot of my friends there“

“Had a great experience for lunch a ShuBrew. Fair prices, unique menu items, and excellent service. My only issue is the atmosphere/decor could be a little more cohesive. It's lacking an image a bit but the food and super kind and helpful staff makes up for it. I will dream about the shloaded fries! Splitting hairs - the beet salad could use more goat cheese and maybe some micro greens and wings needed maybe 30 seconds more in the fryer but the flavors were on point!“

“The description of the "Gyro" is on the money, and can be equally shared to any and all dishes/sandwiches/salads. Chef's are extremely far beyond adequate, and specialty requests are usually handled no problem,done with the greatest of pride while even appealing.to the eye! The owner is super conscious of taste, customer satisfaction and prompt satisfaction. I'm fortunate to live close..."THE BEST REASON TO TAKE A RIDE OFF THE HILL HERE! Trust me here!!".“

“Food is Great and his Staff is wonderfully friendly,even the dishwasher.“

“First time we ate here, despite living in town. Thought we would try the breakfast. We didn't know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised with the food. The bacon was hot and crispy and so were the home fries. The coffee was excellent along with the service. Best kept secret in Zelie. We will be back.“

“My friend and I had the stuffed meatloaf tonight at Papa Dukes. Wow!!!we both Love Love Loved it. Moist and full of flavor....with feta cheese, roasted red peppers and spinach. highly recommend Yummy 😋“

“First and foremost, this is still a smoking bar. And you need to be 21 to enter even if you are only eating. Aside from that, the food was delicious. Not your regular bar food. There are plenty of unique appetizers and specialty grilled cheese and burgers. Saturday early afternoon they were packed! Would come again for the food.“

“if you haven't tried this place you don't know what you're missing, we just had it for the first time, and it was so good!! we got the 8pc chicken with Mac and cheese and corn muffins, all of it was amazing, we definitely will be coming back“

“food was awesome!! John was a great bartender!“

“Couldn’t be happier with the new full sized wings. Great size, perfectly cooked, great sauce (Asian Thai or whatever), another great night of bingo. Love this place“

“They say there are places where food is not just eaten but experienced, where music does not just play but weaves itself into your very bones. Mario’s 410 Grille is such a place. From the moment I stepped through its doors, I felt as though the air shimmered with a rhythm only Pittsburgh hearts could understand, the kind that The Clarks themselves might strum under a summer sky. The brick oven pizza is not merely food. It is a celestial event. Flames curl around dough and cheese until they form a constellation of flavor, a molten galaxy you can hold in your hands. The chicken Parmesan, the spaghetti, even the giant pretzels all of them taste as if crafted not by chefs, but by some ancient council of culinary mystics sworn to uphold deliciousness as a sacred trust. And then there is the outdoor bar. It is not just a bar, it is a stage where laughter becomes music and music becomes memory. Friends gather there, their voices rising like sparks into the night air, carried away on breezes that whisper the lyrics of The Clarks. And the staff, radiant and kind, are like sirens of hospitality, their beauty and genuine sweetness holding you there as though the night should never end. Their smiles and warmth are not tricks, but enchantments, making each guest feel chosen, welcomed, and unable to leave the spell of the place. To sit there under the stars with a cold drink in hand is to feel, if only for a moment, that the universe itself is nodding along to the beat. Mario’s 410 Grille is not a restaurant. It is a legend written in fire and song, a cathedral of taste where the ordinary dissolves into the extraordinary. To eat here is to join a story that will be told long after the plates are cleared. Would recommend? Absolutely. But be warned, once you’ve dined here, every other meal will feel like a mere shadow of what food was always meant to be.
Ps. Ashley is the best bartender!“

“Have had Justin the last 2 times I’ve been here & he has been an amazing waiter. Will be requesting him in the future. Truly is so kind & very good at his job. Our first time having him he was still very new. He was great then & even better now!“

“barmaid had nice tataas 😁“

“We tried JW Hall's last evening a party of seven of us. this was our first time there and certainly will not be our last. we all had different meals and not one complaint. service was excellent, food was perfectly seasoned and cooked and hot when it came out. I highly recommend if you're in the area absolutely go there.“

“Amazing service, amazingly nice people amazing attitudes and the beautiful young lady behind d the bar was outstanding with her positive attitude and smile! And the food is spectacular!“

“The food is delicious! A variety of options and great portions! Every single worker was kind, welcoming and helpful! Awesome place!“

“Fun place with good people.“
