We came in at 6 and had a lot of issues as it was busy and we had a new server. They did try to correct the situation and were apologetic. The food we got was rushed but we left full. I would chalk it up to a bad night for them since they mostly get great reviews but not sure I would go out of my way to try again.

Very cozy atmosphere..the food was delicious ! My boyfriend and I split a steak calzone and still had almost half of it to take home. The service was prompt and the servers were super friendly. Will definitely be back.

AMAZING! HUGE portions, high quality food, a real value overall. Homey Yinzer bar, with a restaurant side as well, but also kid friendly. This is the real deal! One of the great parts of moving back home to Pittsburgh- everything is amazing, never change!

Nice and cozy! We got what we were looking for chicken cordon blue sandwich and it was delicious
Big Jim's has been on my list of places to try for a while now.
We finally got to experience it yesterday.
We arrived around 5:00pm on a Saturday. Our waitress Cindy quickly took our drink orders and made some suggestions since it was our first time here.
She told us we made it "just in time before the usual rush". Well - she was right because by the time we finished our meals there was literally a line extending out the door waiting to dine!
We had one order of French Fries to share and as a family of 4 we were more than satisfied with that! The fries usually aren't a buzz worthy option to speak of in my reviews but - these fries definitely are! Fresh cut and perfectly done!
I had the hot sausage hoagie. The waitress suggested I order the whole and I was definitely happy I took her suggestion! It was huge and the hot sausage was sooo amazing! They get their hot sausage from a local butcher and Man - the sausage to sauce and cheese ratio was PERFECT!
My Mrs opted the Reuben. That sandwich was PACKED with meat and was one of those two hand holding, crave worthy experiences rarely found without a good recommendation!
Our Son had the Italian hoagie, and for my kid to say it was "the best Italian hoagie" he's had says alot in itself! It was maxed out with great meat and cheese and the bread they use is AMAZING!
Our Daughter had a regular cheeseburger which was perfectly done. She barely finished it so - it is worthy of a good appetite!
Great spot which we look forward to trying again in the very near future!

Great local joint to hang out, grab some food and have a drink. The Italian wedding soup is really good and the staff is extremely friendly. Tucked away, it may not be easy to find or get to, but worth the hunt!

This place has been on our bucket list and it lived up to the hype. Old school comfortable bar that we felt right at home. Expected a basic tap list but they had some craft options including cider and wine. Settled in with a couple of Penn Pilsners and got our order in. Food was great with large portions and we shared everything. Large fish sandwich, Ruben with an added egg, fried onion rings and mushrooms. The table behind us ordered a calzone and it was one of the largest I have ever seen. The food came out quickly and the service was on point. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Highly recommended.
