Food was excellent. Probably a hidden gem of the city. I tried my food as well as my girlfriends and both were delicious. Fantastic really. Atmosphere was unspectacular and our server was a bartender serving many people but she kept up for the most part. All in all highly recommend if you're an unsure tourist as we were, just passing through

This place is super cool, but I'm biased i love old buildings and stuff, it's what makes Pittsburgh great. Def came in hungry, had a burger, was terrific. And when I left I had satisfied my appetite for nostalgia. Thank you, don't ever change.

I walked down from the hospital to get a sandwich while I waited for a relative. Ordered a simple buffalo chicken wrap. The tortilla and the sauce must have cost $12, because they charged me an ADDITIONAL $3.50 for the fried chicken and the fries were $4.50! Twenty bucks for an average wrap and fries. What a rip off! It was a decent wrap but not for that price!

Based on the recommendation ofo our AirBnB owner, we gave this place a try on 10/5. They were not busy when we arrived, the waitress was cleaning tables and didn't really acknowledge us until we asked if we could sit anywhere. Waitress was pleasant, but didn't seem to want to truly engage in conversation, she'd start a conversation, you'd ask a ? and she'd flit away. The floors were rather sticky. We order the appetizer of dolmades, pita bread with tzatziki and hummus. This was really good. I got the Ruben, it was good not great. Husband got a Chili Cheese Dog, he enjoyed it. Son got a bacon cheeseburger, wanted it Medium, came out well done. The place livened up while we were there, lots of people at the bar and they were all so friendly. Bartender gave us a tip for take-out beverage place; his directions were spot on. With food and 1 adult beverage a piece, we spent $80+ tip.
Vegetarian options: The appetizer which consists of 6 dolmade's , pita bread, hummus and tzatziki is very tasty and worth it.

Don't let the casual atmosphere and unassuming aesthetic undersell you on the quality of this place. Service was attentive with great communication between members. Fried cucumbers, on point. Cheesesteak, on point. Even the pickle chips were perfect. The bathroom floor was immaculate. This is the perfect example of you don't need to be fancy to be exceptional.

Didn’t even get the chance to eat the food but I already give it 0 stars if I could. The times they have on their website are extremely unclear so I thought they were open till 11. The first time I called and said I wanted to place a take out order the guy was very rude and hung up on me. The second time I called back he was even rider with attitude said ya ya what do u want I just said we don’t do take out orders but ya ya what do u need. I said I thought u did take outs till 11. He very rudely said no 9. I told him how ignorant he was then hung up. Not gonna even try food at a place if the people there are nasty. Highly don’t recommend

Chill vibe. Easy parking. Food was delicious. Menu is a la carte but for side dishes they give you a lot.

Love this Northside icon. Great people of all ages, good vibes, awesome traditional bar. Good prices. No millennials here ( or at least they don't act that way!)
