“I had my mother's celebration of life at La Eda's and it was perfect. Karla was so easy to work with. Had a personalized menu for guests to choose from. We were able to choose 2-3 entrees fir guests to choose from. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. This was the perfect restaurant for our celebration! Thank you so much!“

“You will not find a better smash burger anywhere. I love this place !“

“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!“

“If you want better fresh cut fries than Kennywood, Bar 48 is it. Their wings and ranch are top notch; it’s the only place I order wings from. Their owner Katelyn does an amazing job of planning many fun events and her personality brings people together!“

“Kim, Rus, and the entire staff, Robert and I cant thank you all enough!

Thanks again !“

“Our grandson loves it there. He is only 2 1/2 but love to hit golf balls & loves the ice cream.“

“Our waitress was top notch. Very friendly and attentive. The menu is diverse and delicious. I had the mon burger and it was cooked to perfection with toppings that accentuated each other. Next time im in the area I will go just to try something different.“

“This restaurant is local to us and I've probably passed it literally 1000 times driving around since I was 16 and never stopped for a snack or a meal so, I took my mother here for her 83rd birthday last week and will definitely be back...Perfectly cooked and presented food and exemplary service is the key here... The interior definitely gives you the 70's vibe but, you're not going here to eat the decorations right ???I definitely suggest to get there early because at 8pm (They close at 9pm) they were out of the Lobster Special and the soup of the day which was Lobster Bisque...I had a perfectly cooked Blackened Ahi Tuna that I very much enjoyed and my mom had the Chicken Parmesan which was perfectly prepared as well...I'm probably gonna go back this weekend for a quick sammich/snack on the fly because the first experience was just really good...Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this place anytime you're feeling a bit hungry and don't feel like cooking ???“

“Literally the best pizza I’ve had my whole life, and I don’t prefer Detroit Style. It is just so good that it change you forever. The beer is super awesome too and I’m with my friend Andrew which makes it super good. Shoutout to Karly who is also super awesome.“

“Home town small business. CASH only, they do have an ATM if you need.This place feels like old times, better times. Not modern in any sense of the word, but very welcoming. If you're offended easily, this is not the establishment for you.Ham BBQ sandwich was delicious and filling. The side of fries were an actual side, not overflowing to make up for poor food quality.Wait staff was pleasant and accommodating. I will be coming back.My only critique, the floor cleanliness needs to be improved. I didn't notice until going towards the restroom that the tiles could be ivory white or better. There's a section of high traffic carpet that needs cleaned, as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap parking up front“

“My mom and I ate here this evening and the food was delicious. We also had the homemade cherry pie for dessert. The best part about our visit was our waitress Sandy. She was the sweetest and nicest. Definitely recommend.“

“We always enjoy an evening at Gil’s. Friendly waitstaff. Good food. The Mediterranean Chicken was great!!! And of course the hopper!“

“The absolute best food and service! I go to allot of nice restaurants but The Back Porch is my absolute favorite. Great location, incredible building, the most professional and attentive staff. Our waitress tonight, Alisha was by far the best waitress we’ve ever had! Thank you so much for the great experience, we will be sure to return.“

“I go to the Monongahela Eat'n Park for breakfast two or three mornings a week. Kim is usually the waitress opening each morning. She is always pleasant. She remembers everyone's beverage of choice we never have to wait. No matter how busy they are, my meal always arrives just as ordered and hot. There are other restaurant options in the area for breakfast but we always seem to gravitate to our Eat'n Park.“

“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.“

“Outstanding food and the ambiance takes you back to a wonderful point in time! Owners, staff and patrons are very friendly! 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!“

“One of our favorite restaurants. The steak is the absolute best!“

“Great food, excellent service. Management is top-notch!“

“Absolutely Amazing courses but what makes this place great is the staff, from the girls behind the counter, grounds crew and starters and marshals the people make this course what it is. Some of the friendliest most accommodating people I’ve ever encountered and definitely at a golf course. My brother and I drove from Ohio a day early to the US open to play both courses but were way earlier than expected not only did they get us off on the woodside early so we weren’t waiting a few hours they found a break in the tee sheet to let us off on the lakeside early too! On top of that every interaction we had with staff was always met with a smile I recommend this course to anyone very fun layout great condition challenging and fair holes I can’t say enough good about this place!“

“love this place. great food and service. Try the Country fried steak!!“

“We've only been here twice but both times were very good. I had the beef ravioli. I sampled the cheese ravioli and it wasn't as good; the inside cheese and the outside cheese (common to both the cheese and beef ravioli) was a bit more than I would like. Maybe red sauce should be a written option for the cheese ravioli. Six of us enjoyed a range of food, from a simple burger to a very nicely prepared steak. The food was priced as expected and the staff was attentive, with the service bordering on superb given their generally younger age. I will be returning.“

“I absolutely love the carriage inn restaurant and catering. I go there often with my family for meals at their restaurant. Service is always great as well as the food. They catered my wedding this past weekend and everything was amazing. My guests keep talking about how good the food was! they were very easy and stress free to work with through wedding planning. I'd recommend their restaurant or catering services to everyone!“

“Great food!! Good people!! Chief Lamont is fantastic!!“

“Good service. Very good food for the price. Staff was Awesome interacting with my 7 year old too!“

“Local Gem!

Pacis never disappoints! The food is always excellent, and their specials are consistently on point—creative, flavorful, and perfectly executed. The beer selection is fantastic, especially if you're into craft brews.

The service really sets this place apart. The Friday bartender is incredibly helpful, and all the wait staff are friendly and super attentive without being overbearing.

Lenten fish, hands-down the best in the Mon Valley. Great atmosphere, great people, and always a great meal.

Highly recommend!“

“Christie is awesome. Entire staff does a great job! 🙂👍“

“Our Senior Adults r on the way from Flint, MI to Lancaster. We r staying at the Hampton Inn about 15 min away. Our trip leader picked this restaurant.

She did an awesome job!! I highly recommend th I s restaurant. My husband had the turkey sandwich w mashed potatoes & gravy. He said it had great flavor & plenty of it. I had the broccoli & alfredo w herb crusted chicken & a salad bar. I struggled to get it all consumed! The flavor was great!“

“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.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere! The pulled pork sandwich was excellent…and they have fresh cut fries!! I’ll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“Atmosphere and food was excellent. We will be returning!“
