“I ordered today. Food was excellent. Cooks were professional and courteous. I’ll definitely order from there again. Had an emergency about a month or so ago and needed to serve at least 60 people. They accommodated my entire order on the spot. 5 stars is my rating.“

“I buy Flame items over the summer at the Ross Twp. Farmer's Market. Louie's sausage has become my favorite, and the onions and peppers in the sausage makes a huge difference. They are fantastic.
Other items are great, but the halushki sneaks up on you: so comforting and good. Ribs and brisket are excellent.
I wish the Smoke Restaurant were closer to get the Nickel Slecial: Pulled Pork Sandwich and Hakusho for $5.is agreat deal.“

The hot sauce was pleasantly and surprisingly actually hot!
Definitely get food here again especially with the reasonable prices!“

“Treated my son and myself to the lamb chop special. We both ordered medium rare. The chops were done perfectly! Our server Abby provided exemplary service -- friendly, speedy and attentive. Definitely the best meal I've had at this location. I wholeheartedly recommend the lamb while it's available.“

“We are here every Saturday since the kids’ art class is nearby. Spend 2-3 hours dining in and having hotpot most of the time. My husband likes the Sichuan hot pot the most and I like the sour and spicy golden soup base. It’s a family owned restaurant. Fresh ingredients. I recommend it to my friends who are craving for transitional Chinese hotpot. Pittsburgh doesn’t have much options. This is a very good one.“

“We ordered SSBBQ for the first time through Uber Eats and the food was AMAZING!!! Everything was on point from the baked beans to the carnivore. And the greens were on 🔥!!! Will definitely order from there again and visit the restaurant“

“Prices are terrific, service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is what you'd expect out of a tavern, with a bonus from some potted plants.

The soup du jour, a spiced black bean soup, was out of this world. The fried pickles were the best fried pickle wedges I've ever had, with some terrific batter. The wings were good. The sauces were delicious, especially the spice golden BBQ sauce we had (golden goldenboy, I think). The only thing was they weren't crispy.

We'll definitely be back though.“

“Amazing food and great family ran business!“

“Amazing and authentic Sichuan/Northern Chinese barbecue! First of its kind in Pittsburgh, and I’m happy to say that it doesn’t disappointment in the least! Make sure to order the spicy fish, lamb skewers, and garlic oysters! So happy I was able to stumble across this hidden gem of a restaurant, don’t miss out!“

“Great food. Wings are the best“

“Good Smoked Brisket and pulled pork. Also respectable smoked Salmon Filet“

“An amazing, inviting environment to share delicious dim sum and traditional Cantonese dishes! Every aspect of the experience, from the well crafted cocktails to the impeccable service is without equal in the area, while also providing a more relaxed, family style vibe to the experience. One of my main "go tos" when dining out!“

“First had to ask on 3 separate times for lemon for my ice tea !! Asked for my salad with dressing on side,came on the salad.
My husband asked for his steak medium rare with fries,it came rare,blood oozing out of it,(think the cow was still mooing)
and with rice,not fries !!! The waitress offered to put it back on the grill for which we declined,who knows what would have happened to it, we dont send our food back.The manager came offered the same thing,to re cook it, dont think so.
The bill came and we were charged for it,even though it was not edible. So asked for manager, he did take it of the bill,but not very willingly.
We frequently go to this restaurant,have had no issues before.Wont be going back for a while.Was it the waitress having a bad day, put in the orders wrong,or the kitchen ?
On a more positive note,my steak was good.“

“great food and awesome service“

“Ok, the wagyu truffle burger is actually as good as people say! Well seasoned, good amount of cheese, onion and lettuce is cut into a relish and mixed with sauce which makes the burger perfectly moist. I didn’t really feel truffle and the meat was almost well done even though I specified it wasn’t o be medium. Overall, a burger that’s much better than in most places so I’d definitely be back to try more things.“

“Good food! I always enjoy myself when I visit the restaurant!“

“Always have a great time at phats! The staff is always friendly and makes me feel welcome, and the drinks are great. Never had a bad night there!!!“

“We had an excellent experience at Texas Roadhouse. Our food was delicious, and our waiter was so nice, and his hat was amazing.“
