“We had a great experience! It was my first time in america and I always wanted to try a proper american diner like you always see in the movies.We received a lovely welcome and the service was fast, kind and very caring.We had someone in our group who has a latex allergy, so when we asked if our food could be prepared with non latex gloves there was no issue.Our waiters name was Jim and he looked after us very well. We actually will be back for breakfast tomorrow for a last time before I have to take my flight back to germany. Definitely recommend???“

“This was my first visit to Billie Ann's and had a good experience. It's a traditional diner type of breakfast place with a very friendly staff. I ordered the western omelette and French toast. The omelette was okay, I felt it could've had more cheese and less of the other ingredients. The white toast was also okay. The French toast was very good and highly recommend ordering it. The other plates of pancakes that passed by looked very good. Overall a cute little diner with nice people“

“We had a great dinner! The atmosphere was nice, food and drinks were delicious, plus the staff was so friendly and helpful. Not only our server but the whole staff. The chef came out at the end of the night to introduce himself and ask how our meals were. He even put us deep with the daily specials. Just make sure if you go Friday or Saturday to make a reservation!!“

“Dined for lunch with a group of 14 ladies. Nikki was our server and was wonderful. . .fast, pleasant, just all around good. I like Spots and I like Frangelico; so, I tried the Frangelico Spots. Not saying they were bad, just not my cup of tea. Everyone was very pleased with the experience.“

“We were passing through and ordered two apps at half price and a burger medium rare. Apps were great but when we took a bit of the burger, it was raw inside. The waitress was nice and had our burger remade. Good burger but we were charged for the raw burger as well as the one we ate. It could have been accidental but maybe not. Good place for food but recommend checking your receipt.“

“Was served by the owner, very kind, conversational and was unfortunately out of rice. So he compromised and gave me a massive plate of fries. A cheesy example of putting the customer first. Incredible food and incredible service, no wonder why they’ve been around for so long! Thank youDietary restrictions: I have celiacs disease and DID NOT have a reaction when eating the fries. For those who have gluten related issues, this place was fine for me!“

“Food is incredible! Truly, one of the South Hills hidden gems. Will definitely be back. Lots of people ordering pick up also, so that’s always an option. Probably one drawback though, to making sure in-house customers are taken care of promptly. There were a decent amount of people, so expect to wait a little bit. I believe they’re hiring servers though! So, check out Bee’z Bistro; you won’t be disappointed. And, ask for their specials menu!“

“A neighborhood legend, just the same 30 years later as it was in my childhood. So satisfying and simple. We went here on a trip back to Washington PA, and having the shorty dog with chili was a wonderful nostalgic highlight. Don’t miss it.“

“This is a fantastic place to eat! We had an awesome breakfast that more than fill the platter for a very affordable price. The waitress was very nice and has a great personality. The cook was very friendly as well and very accommodating by asking how some of our items we wanted prepared.“

“2nd year that we've had my daughters birthday dinner here for over 24 people. The food and service are always great! we had 2 waitresses (one was Lindsay and I'm not sure of the name of the other) to handle our group and they were professional and quick to deliver our orders. We really like it here and will return soon“

“We arrived at this location about 45 mins till closing the staff sat us graciously and I can not say enough about how awesome our waiter Stan! Was He went over and beyond for us! We were also greeted by the GM who was very welcoming and made sure we was satisfied. The food was excellent especially being so late at night! Will definitely be back!!!! Great staff good food“

“This was our 1st visit after reading many online reviews. And we are so happy we stopped. It has the best staff, and a cute and clean restaurant The food was amazing. We had wonderful pizza with a prefect thin & crispy crust, tasty sauce and the right amount of toppings. The hot wings were outstanding! Best fried mushrooms and our take home slices of red velvet cake were great! We will definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: Perfect for kids. Lots of choices.“

“Been there twice now and ordered a meal to eat there and one to take home both times. The food is really good bar food for sure and the prices are very reasonable. It has a very local laid back home town bar feel. Just a very chill atmosphere with top notch service behind the counter. I will definitely make it a regular stop when I am out that way from now on.Parking: Lots of free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes very wheel chair accessible.“

“Some of the best wings with adventurous flavor choices with the classic options. It's awesome.Kid-friendliness: It is a bar. Please remember this is a bar. But they do offer take out. And you can call, order and pick up. The burgers are dope too.“

“This place is a diamond in the rough. Everything homemade..you could see in the marinara onions, basil amd tomatoes. The stuffed Hot pepper with homemade sausage was amazing. The fried Zucchini was perfectly lightly breaded and the provolone wheel was just as good!Not to mention the homemade pies..the peanut butter pie was beyond anything iv we tasted. What a great place to eat.The Manager aka the Chef came out to talk to us and he was super friendly and happy to have us there..“

“Wow! This place is welcoming, cozy and the food is delicious.The wings are something special. You get full wings with sauce on the side for dipping or dousing. The picture doesn't do justice to how good they are. Can't wait to go back!Parking: Parking is tough, easier to park on the street“

“Been wanting to come here for years. Finally made time to stop by. Only suggestion I would make is service. The pizza takes awhile which is understandable however the check was brought to the table while we were still eating. Would have ordered more drinks and dessert if offered. But that was okay Dairy Queen is right next door.Did appreciate getting a Wednesday special discount even though I thought the pricing was fair to begin with.“

“My mom has an autoimmune disease, which means we still need to be careful when going into public places. When I called the manager at DeeJays Collier location to explain the situation and how I wanted to have a birthday party for the first time since the pandemic, he was immediately accommodating. We were going to try to make the outdoor patio work for my mom’s safety, but sadly the weather did not cooperate that day. No worries because upon arriving at the indoor party room he reassured us that everything had been disinfected and throughly cleaned. He also had the Pens game up on the TV for us so that was an added bonus! In addition to Nick’s incredible hospitality, our server Trinity was a trooper! When she first came in to check on mom and I she kept her distance to be respectful and was so kind to our entire party. She was so efficient with providing additional customer service and we were so lucky to have an incredible experience there. That day was made special thanks to Nick & Trinity, so I want to shout them out for making my first birthday party in over 4 years so special for me and our family & friends!“

“I have been coming here for almost 30 years. Absolutely love it! Small town hotdog diner!Parking: There's plenty of parking unless it is a busy day.Kid-friendliness: They are very kind and sweet to kids!! They have kid sized drinks!Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps. It is flat to get right into the door.“

“This could be the best restaurant in Washington. I can’t say enough good things about it! Exceptionally fresh ingredients, fantastic friendly service, roasted lamb (!!!), espresso drinks made with care, beautiful location, the list goes on! A++++++“

“We went for dinner Jan . 7 2023 well was disappointing on everything . Sat down had the rolls which were good but no silverware. Order our food my 8 oz Filet came out butter-flyed topped with mushrooms which I nevered ordered. I cut into it and it wasn’t middle rare . They took it back brought me another Filet which wasn’t medium rare , The man said I’ll get you another one , I was so hungry I told him no . I added shrimp to my order , the shrimp was the only thing on the plate by it self . I ate them right away which was cold !. Got the bake potato around 4 minutes or after the Food got to the table. My sisters food wasn’t hot cold meat . The total as around $ 55.00 or so . I’ve never been so dissatisfied with everything should have taken a meal of the bill . I will be back I enjoy the friendly people and usually have a great meal !!!“

“Cant win the price for the amount of good food you get ! My all time favorite appetizer is the spicy chicken bites and the steakhouse wings.Kid-friendliness: Comfortable booths with nice spacing for the kids and they give out coloring papers with crayons“

“Tried this place last night for the first time since they were having 1/2 off wings. I got 10 hot honey and 10 whiskey maple bbq..the hot honey ones were the best although I enjoyed both flavors. Service was just ok nothing exceptional the dining experience was ruined in my opinion by an extremely loud gentleman at a nearby table. Most likely we will not go there again as my boyfriend was not as impressed with the wing flavors as I was.“

“I took forever to get a server assigned to us, but everything was so wonderful after that that I decided to go with a 5 Star rating anyway. We had poutine for the first time, and it was delicious! The gravy was so good! I had the Cowboy Reuben sandwich, and the jalapeño sauerkraut was so good! I had a beer flight, and the Pumpkin Ale rimmed with honey and cinnamon sugar was the best thing EVER!!!“

“Stopped here on in a road trip because we had a craving for BBQ. The food was great, with the ribs and brisket standing out as our favorites. The bbq beans and mac and cheese were also great. Staff very friendly and efficient. We make this drive a few times a year and would stop here again.“

“Wife and I shared a small salad, fried clams appetizer, and a veggie calzone. Food, service and value was excellent. Wife and I felt the atmosphere was pretty poor though for a few reasons.1.) The entrance seemed very backwoods bar like. Good for a bar, bad for a restaurant.2.) The entrance smelled of smoke coming from the separate bar area, but once we entered the restaurant area the smell of smoke disappeared.We will definitely eat there again. If they improved the atmosphere we would eat there often.“

“In the last two years we've held a bridal shower, two wedding rehearsal dinners and just this past Sunday, a baby shower. Patty, the venue coordinator is one of the best in the business and Ron the chef and the servers went above and beyond making this a perfect day! My phone has been blowing up with compliments of the food and service this great staff provided. Whatever the next celebration is, you can bet it will be held at Washington Country Club! Many thanks, from the Habe & Del Bianco Families“

“We are not local but this place was rated high on Google so we stopped in. The bartender was so nice, let us know it was busier than usual but she was still very attentive. As the crowd died down, she was very kind to chat with us about nearby spots and places of interest for the rest of our “

“Awesome hidden gem in Bridgeville. Ordered the Filipino Lumpia egg rolls and the Laurel sauced chicken wings. Lumpia was excellent and fresh tasting. "Laurel" is buffalo with old bay seasoning. Perfectly cooked and juicy. Cool atmosphere with small bar pool table. Great time!“

“This place was pretty fun. I randomly went here with a friend because we saw it was DJ night. Once we got there there are 2 separate areas. One for the dance floor and then the bar. If you wanted to order any food or drink during an event, you have to go to the bar to do so. The food was fairly priced and I loved their cheese fries! They use queso blanco!!!! And their burgers are huge! It overall was a cute place to go to listen to music and have some good vibes“

“I was passing through town and someone recommended here to eat. I was pleased with everything until I receive my check. I ordered their house burger which normally comes with tomato. I asked to have it without tomato, but to add pickles. The burger was very tasty and had 3 tiny pickle slices on it. My bill had .75¢ added for pickles.(???)I'm sorry but this is not acceptable in my opinion... Such trivial costs being added to our bill without our consent. Do pickles cost more than a tomato slice ??? I won't be back here again.....“

“Best we'll done steak in years. Hard to get just right. Not burnt. But no pink. Everywhere else, i usually have to send it back and watch everyone eat without me. Both of ours were perfect and amazing. The cook, waitress and manager made it even better with taking the time to smile with me.“

“I got the pizza and it was very delicious! The pepperoni was mildly spicy and cupped and crispy and had a great amount of sauce for my liking. The cheese was yummy and the crust was thick and chewy! Very reasonable prices. We paid $28.00 for 4 people! I would definitely recommend coming here and would come back again no doubt in my mind!!“

“Every employee I have had interactions with here are nothing short of wonderful. They truly strive to give you a good experience and the food is consistent with other locations. I find the prices to be right on par with industry standard pricing and the portions are incredibly generous. Online orders are always ready at the time they estimate for pick up. This locations has been a great addition to the area.“

“I love rough cut the food is amazing I’ve never had any complaints until tonight. :( my burger was a little to done, we barely got any good fries it was all the scraps and the soft pretzel was hard:( maybe it was just a off night but I hope it’s amazing the next time I come like it normally “

“Best food, best service, awesome vibe. My new favorite breakfast place. Picky teenager approved also!*Have to edit* for some reason it didn’t have an option for the eggs Benedict on the reviews but it should be!!! Best traditional eggs Benedict I’ve ever had!!!“

“Great home made food, great baked goods, great atmosphere, wonderful people; I go there oftenVegetarian options: Some vegetarian and few vegan options, like saladParking: Parking close to store, wheelchair and handicapped accessibleKid-friendliness: Kids welcome, good menu choices for kids, big yard for kids to run and play outside; they can visit animals if allowed by parentsWheelchair accessibility: Very easily wheelchair and handicapped accessible, staff very helpful in this regard, customers, too“

“I stopped by here on a Tue night for an early dinner with my husband after hiking nearby on the Fossil Cliffs trail. We found it on Google and decided to try it based on Google reviews. We both ordered burgers with the house chips and shared an appetizer of Mac n cheese bites (menu posted on here is not up to date), and the food was excellent. Everything we had was super good.There were about 15 patrons here with only one server/bar tender, but we felt the service was pretty good given there was only one person working. The server came to our table fairly soon after we sat down and food came out fairly quickly. My only service gripe was that the appetizer was served as the same time as the entrees which kind of defeats the purpose of ordering an appetizer. Food was very reasonably priced and on the cheaper side for dine-in of this quality.In terms of atmosphere, this place was very divey with few windows, but it was nicer than we expected compared the dumpier look on the outside. While it's clearly in an older building, the place was very clean and clearly has been remodeled somewhat inside to be more modern for a dive bar. My one complaint would be the chairs and stools were a bit cheap and dated looking with some chair backs having rips on them and a few wobbly tables. The place also had a faint musty/smokey kind of bad smell when we walked in. My nose got used to it pretty quickly, so it wasn't too bad, but was noticeable when walking in. This place also has a number of gambling machines and a pool table in the back which gave a divey feel, but would be a plus for those into those things. In terms of parking, there's ample street parking outside.I'd give the food here 5/5 and would definitely recommend this place for good burgers and bar food and cheap drinks. The only reason I gave overall 4/5 was bc of the cheap/old ripped chairs/stools, a few wobbly tables, slightly musty/smoke smell, kinda dark inside, and the appetizer not be served prior to the entrees detracting a little from the vibe a bit. This is a great place to stop for lunch along the Panhandle Trail.“

“I live in triadelphia wv, which is only a few miles from this place, but I'm very impressed with the food and service. Not to mention the fun location this bar has, as in the rout to take plus finding other places along the way.. I highly recommend giving this bar a try....“

“We’ve been saying for years that we are going to stop here and eat sometime. Today was finally “sometime” and now I regret not eating here sooner! It’s a great hole-in-the-wall type of diner. Food was delicious, service was friendly and warm. It’s a small menu with all the right choices plus a couple of daily specials. Lots of food for a great price. I had to take half of mine (half shown in the pic) home with me. We left saying, “see you next time!”“

“I always stop at this particular location when I'm in the area. I'll go out of my way to do so. The staff are kind and attentive and the food is always very good and just as I ask for it to be preparedKid-friendliness: They have fun balloons at the door for kids!“

“My sister and I came here and we had a blast! We had a friendly competition playing Angry Birds on the golf course and it was fun! The atmosphere was beautiful, warm and cozy. I loved the couch and the table. Although it was outside it was warm from the lamp.The food and the drinks were fantastic. Not only did everything taste good, it looked really good. I love for my food to have a beautiful presentation. TopGolf delivered on the fun, drinks, food and atmosphere.. however if you don’t have good company then it might suck but I had great company.The server was very kind and helpful. She didn’t overly check in on us. It was nice balance and we gave her a great tip. It was money well spent.I was kind of nervous bc I read some reviews that talked about experience with racism and judgments but that was not my experience. Maybe I happened to go at a good time.. I don’t know but I’d sure like to visit again.“

“My wife and I went here to have dinner for our anniversary, the food, ambiance, and service, were all fantastic! She got the hanger steak and I got the ribeye, both were delicious and perfectly cooked. I believe our servers name was Colin, he was professional, kind, quick, and made sure we enjoyed our meal! 10/10 will be back again for all of the reasons mentioned above!“

“Went to celebrate my Sons 20th Birthday. Had a waitress named Ameria, (hope it's right name) .. she was EXCELLENT! We have had her before and actually requested her for our server. Our food was DELICIOUS! We all got the "all you can eat" shrimp dinner. They kept the shrimp coming for my Hubby and Sons!! Alcohol was delicious as well! Everyone working was polite and upbeat! Grateful for a nice time!!“

“Love Applebee's you can eat in ,takeout and delivery.Everything is very good and the service is outstanding. My favorite is bourbon street chicken and shrimp. Love the food.Parking: Lot of spots to park.Kid-friendliness: They have a small computer on the table you can purchase games for the kids to playWheelchair accessibility: Applebees can accommodate wheelchairs.“

“I’ve passed this place a million times. Been trying to go to new places for dinner and Railyard was next. Decent overall experience and the food was tasty! Loved the pork belly burnt ends. They were amazing! We also got the Mac and cheese. It too was good. A lot of food. Need a larger stomach. “
