“First time visiting. Definitely worth the drive from Pittsburgh. Easily accessible, convenient parking. Party of two, dined inside. Enjoyed appetizers, entree and dessert. Food was delicious, and excellent - PERSONAL - service. Our waitress was Janet, and she was absolutely wonderful. Ended up striking conversation with her and another couple. Will definitely be returning!“

“It's a bar. Let's be real. You don't go here for the food. You're probably there to drink. That's fine. I was there to meet a few people for business..but wanted something to occupy my time. I happened to be there on a Monday evening. $8 burger night..with fries. You can't go wrong with an $8 burger. I opted for upgraded waffle fries...they were your standard burger and fries..not the best burger, let's be real..but it was good. Plenty of TVs to watch. Local fare, local people. Probably pretty busy on a weekend. If your in thr area..stop in. You won't be disappointed at all.“

“We decided on a Tuesday that we wanted to dine here the next day and were concerned that we didn't yet have a reservation. We were not able to make one online for 5 people. The next day, we were able to call in the early afternoon and speak to someone to make a reservation. We were so glad we did since the place became full not long after we arrived! Our hostess, servers, and all employees were wonderful, all 5 of our entrees were fabulous, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here!“

“The best French toast and coffee I have ever had.“

“Hands down the best breakfast we have ever had. Seafood omelet and steel city breakfast delicious! Portions are large, had enough to bring some home. Husband had a banana split and said it it one of the best he’s eaten. Our waitress was so nice. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience! We will definitely return when in the area.“

“We stopped in between games to feed our 12-year-old team; 11 players and all the families that go with it for a total of 46 people - at 12:15 on a Saturday. They smiled, accommodated us, were efficient and kind, and delivered fantastic, hot food to get us back to the fields in time for Game 2! Highly recommend! Thanks for being you, Downey’s House!!“

“I do love a good diner and this is very certainly one of them. When the food brings you back to your childhood memories — that’s culinary art at its finest.

Absolute gem of a place, lovely staff, and friendly diners around you. The food is unpretentious, simple, fresh, and perfect. Gave me comfort I really needed.

(Even if I am criminal for ordering meatloaf dinner at breakfast 😎)

10/10.
Absolute institution.
Will dine again.

👏 Oui K & N!“

“Stopped in for a mid-afternoon bite. Excellent server Vanessa even got the drink recipe for us!“

“Excellent place to have dinner. I ordered the corn and crab chowder. It was delicious and tasted like beef, corn, and crab chowder. I definitely would get that again. I also ordered the crab cakes with fries. Those guys were so yummy. It's a bit heavy on the salt but delicious. Shana was our waitress, and she kept us tended to with excellent service. We are staying at this hotel tonight, and I'm tempted to order that corn and crab chowder for a bedtime snack later because it was that good.“

“I had hot roast beef and my husband had hot turkey. everything was delicious. portions were large. no wonder you all have been in business for 60 yrs. we will be back.“

“Great food, and prices! great atmosphere, staff, etc .. I've been going there for many many many many years! (when it was cash only). Only been for lunch like 3 times, Really good. I mainly go for breakfast. That's the stuff!!! Everything is delicious!!!! 🤤🤤“

“We stopped April 30th, 2022. The food was great and our waitress was very friendly even though they were extremely busy.“

“Good food and service. Fairly priced.“

“The coffee is always fresh, strong, and absolutely delicious.“

“MY friend and I went there on Saturday to celebrate our birthdays..Our server Adam was simply amazing. He patiently waited for us to decide on our drink order and went as far as to let us try the drink to see if we liked it, which we didn’t but he took it off our bill and then brought us a birthday card and wished us a happy birthday. The food was very delicious. But our main complaint comes down to Adam !! He was so fantastic and such a kind person . They truly have a rare gem in him as an employee! I hope they appreciate him because he is what makes it a truly wonderful experience there. We will definitely go back there and if we are lucky Adam will be our server.!!!“

“Stacy our server went above and beyond to provide a safe birthday lunch atmosphere with our 1 yr old unvaccinated baby. We were distant seated, our server wore mask when attending our table and provided a birthday dessert! Food was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Fun Meeting with nice ladies and friends and having a good time!“

“The smoked wings were amazing. Service was prompt and very polite. Definitely will be back to try more food. Lori was a great server and the cooks really did it up. Very affordable too. All around would give 5 stars for what this place is.. nothing short of great.“

“Just all around positive, food, staff and other patrons“

“Consistency. Food always comes out good. I can always rely on them. The only thing that isn't very consistent is the amount of fries. Sometimes I'll get a good amount. Sometimes I'll get a little cup full. That's just my one gripe but other than that, fantastic service and food all the time 👍🏽“

“My server June is the best! She always gets my order done right. I am a vegan and have gluten intolerance so I have very specific needs. The Beyond burger is always tasty and I enjoy the fresh brewed iced tea as well. June always makes my dining experience memorable in a good way.“

“Went there for the first time on a Saturday for dinner. Nice place with lots of options. Our server who was doubling as cook was super nice and answered all our questions and special requests. I got the Cranberry Poppins salad. It was fresh, delicious and very large. The rest of my party had the fish sandwich, the chicken tenders and fries and the Alcove Burger. Everyone liked their food. We left just as the band was setting up. Would definitely go back again.“

“Great food. Great prices. And really friendly server. Best wishes to him in the US and when he returns to India.“

“I've been ordering from Big Shot Bob's in Avalon for over ten years. They're the best in the Burgh. They opened on New Year's Day to provide fresh delicious wings. Pre-ordering wings for New Year's Day was a breeze and the service is very friendly. I was able to call and make a change to a pick up order with ease.

My all time favorite all Old Bay Wet. What's pictured, Black and Gold, Garlic Ranch Wet and Big Shot Bob's Signature.

I am vegetarian but I still order these wings for family get together.“

“*SEMITRUCKS*: Overnight Space available, came with a Load here to deliver, they start about 6am, be aware that they charge LUMPER Fee, they only take cash or com checks or EFS. I had to walk to a gas station to an ATM to get the cash. Besides that, the people that work in this place they are very polite and nice, they offer me coffee, and greet me properly. Thumbs Up or Heart to this review to help other drivers.“

“Great food and terrific service. Hamburgers, wings, fries, and house chips are all the best in town. All of their food is well prepared and portions large. Also Great to just sit at the bar for a drink with friends. Hometown feel to it.“

“Finally getting to writing reviews for the best few vendors from my August 2019 wedding. I am a little hesitant to post this since their Facebook page seems to have gone silent and reviews on other platforms indicate that management and menus may have changed in the last 6 months. But I was so pleased with my experience that it only seems fair to give credit where credit is due…. If you are looking for a rehearsal dinner location in Cranberry and have 30 guests or less, I highly recommend the private room at Ember and Vine in the lobby of the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh-Cranberry. We researched every restaurant in the area and Ember and Vine at DoubleTree delivered a perfect solution. Their facilities are beautiful and modern, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. Although they can do traditional seated banquet-style meals, we wanted something distinctly different from our wedding dinner the following day. We chose to order off their regular restaurant menu and have them cordon off a portion of the lobby area next to the private room, where a buffet was placed with different flavors of wings, woodfired pizzas, salad, and their oh-so-yummy crispy brussels sprouts. Not only were they flexible with the setup and menu (accommodating multiple food allergies), they also provided the option to have a limited bar within the private room or have our guests use the full bar in the lobby. Having the private room but also the cordoned off lobby area gave us extra area to mingle and a great balance between private space and the fun energy and ambiance from the restaurant and bar. Our guests loved the food and had loads of fun! Other factors that made Ember and Vine a clear winner for us were: - They had a very low minimum spend. Other locations with private dining had a ridiculous minimum spend that would be difficult to meet with a 20-30 person guest list. - The large parking lot. We looked at other options closer to our venue and parking was limited. - Flexibility with timing. We gave them a general time frame for arrival, but not knowing how long the rehearsal would take, they told us just to call them when we were 20 minutes out. Thanks DoubleTree and Ember and Vine for a classy venue and excellent food that let my husband and me and our closest friends and family relax and have a great time before our big day!!“

“Our family of 5 were on our way to Applebee's for lunch today. Unfortunately, we were in a car accident at the main intersection before the restaurant. Another car had hit us, leaving our car disabled. While everyone involved was okay, our lunch plans were obviously changed. While waiting for the tow trucks and clean up, 2 of my children and myself needed to use the restroom. We walked into the restaurant and asked to use the bathroom, explaining the situation, and the server we interacted with was beyond amazing. (I'm sorry I didnt get her name. We were rather shaken up.) She told us of course we could use the restrooms and asked if we were okay and if we needed anything else. She and a manager on duty checked on us one more time before we left, sending us out with water and the invitation to come back if we needed anything. As if we needed another reason to love this restaurant, they were so extremely sweet to us even when we weren't paying customers. They were just good humans. We never did get our Applebee's lunch today, but will definitely be back for our lunches and to thank them again for the generosity and compassion. ❤️❤️“

“As a celiac, it’s hard for me to find a place where I feel comfortable eating and can eat “normal”. Our meal last night checked both boxes! Chris was amazing and put me at ease. The food was delicious, and I loved all the flavors in the grapple burger! Thanks for being so good to the gluten free community!“

“It's exactly what you'd expect. The server was great. The table we were sat at had some crumbs, but not dirty or sticky 🤷‍♀️ it's an eat n park, not a fine dining spot, my standards weren't too high. Food was underseasoned for me but their main clientele is most likely more salt sensitive, if you catch my drift, so expect to need salt asks pepper if that's your jam.“

“Super nice staff!!! Had a lovely time with my wife.“

“This gem of a restaurant has the best food around. I had the Spicy ham sandwich and my friend had the Unsusal Turkey Club. Delicious! Great staff as well. Definitely be going back soon!“

“Love the atmosphere and memorabilia. The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and eager to help. The food is delicious, and well presented. The restaurant was clean and inviting. So refreshing to be surrounded by true patriots! A wonderful experience!“

“Food is delicious! Price id good. Waiter needed a lot more personality, needed to learn menu. He might have been new. It's an old place that could use a make over and a cold air deflector from the door. But the food is very, very good.“
