“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.“

“This place is amazing! Super friendly staff behind the bar with lots of great local craft beer on tap. The best part IMO is their build your own burger. The burger and waffle fries were amazing. Lots of screens around to watch sports. You can tell a place has great food when DoorDash drivers show up every 5 minutes to pick up orders.

Parking: There is paid parking right across the street.“

“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.“

“I first ate food there on Thursday, July 28th. The food was delectable and the service was a 10. I wen back today, July 29th and got some of those delicious beans with ground beef , onions & green peppers. Stop by and get some their delicious food.“

“I arrived with a van load of 7 or 8 people. When we walked in there were not that many people in the restaurant but by the time we ordered, the restaurant just filled up. It took very long to get our food, and I did notice that we were sort of ignored because there were so many two tops and four tops, and the waiters and waitresses couldn't get to them. By the time we got our food, most of us didn't really have a chance to eat because we had to be back to our senior center for people being picked up. Actually I took my food home, it was good, but it would have been better had I been able to have it at the restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: We did have one person at our table that was in a wheelchair so she had no problem getting to our table.“

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

“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!“

“Excellent Excellent Excellent. We had Whiting fish. Seasoned and Fried to perfection. The cabbage is superb! We are looking forward to trying the Pork Chops!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and great family ran business!“

“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.“

“We had South Side BBQ company cater our “I do BBQ” with their food truck option. I had spoken with Patrick through out the process and he was easy to talk to and responsive to all of my messages/phone calls. They showed up promptly to our venue and had everything ready to go within 10 mins of being there. Once the guests started getting food, I heard non-stop rave reviews about their BBQ and Mac & cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious and what wasn’t eaten by our guests, Patrick wrapped it up and we took it home. Overall I had an incredible experience with this company and would choose them again for future events. Thanks Pat and team!!“

“Awesome food tastes like Wilson ribs. Very nice people that work there. 08/12/2023“

“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.“

“the service was great, the staff was kind and courteous, the food was great tasting my family was definitely satisfied thank you cuddy's i will be back soon!“

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

“The owner is so nice and the shrimp ramen was amazing. The other people in my group got beef ramen and a chicken dish that they loved too. Hope to come back next time we’re in the area!“

“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!!!“

“I really quite enjoyed this place. They sell donuts on the weekends in addition to their regular Mexican offerings, and I am so glad I decided to come on a weekend. I tried out their glazed donut holes, glazed donut, and Mac n cheese. Very simple, but done so well.

The Mac n cheese was very tasty. It has flavorful breadcrumbs on top with tons of cheesy, creamy sauce all inside. It might be a bit too rich and creamy for my taste, but it’s still very enjoyable. The only real down side is that it is quite expensive for Mac n cheese, even with the very nice portion.

Both of the donuts were absolutely excellent. Again, so glad I went on the weekend. The glazed donut, although again a bit expensive, it was delicious. Definitely homemade. Soft on the inside and perfect glaze. The donut holes were equally delicious; a lovely bite sized treat, soft and flavorful.

I thought it was very good overall. A bit pricey, but I still recommend this place for sure.

Vegetarian options: Egg and cheese, vegetable, and other taco options as well as Mac n cheese and more“

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