“My sisters and I are always looking for diners when we go out. We are not fond of the chain restaurants. Today we found this diner on google and tried it. While we only ordered breakfast, it was the best breakfast that we have gotten. The pancake was fluffy and delicious. My eggs were made perfect, the coffee wasn’t bitter and our toast was perfect. Sue was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant!! One of the best diners I have been to in quite a while!!!“

“Been wanting to try the breakfast sandwiches since they opened and since moving to this side of town, thought today was a perfect excuse. I've seen people rave about this place and now i know why. Seeing as though we got there around 8 am, I'd recommend getting there early because I've been told it can be line out the door later on, but that's how you know it's good. I got the classic with bacon and my boyfriend got the breakfast smash. We also opted to split the Creme Brulee griddled French toast with lemon curd. Paired with an Arabica pour over coffee for him and Oblong tea for me, it was the perfect Easter breakfast. The sandwiches were cooked perfectly. That French toast though, wow! The perfect amount of sweetness and with the mild lemon curd, just chef's kiss. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Can't wait to come back.“

“Awesome vibes and food! This place was spotlessly clean and well lit, everyone is incredibly friendly, service staff and even the cooks were so helpful, welcoming, and kind! We got homemade meatballs, zucchini tower, and homemade tiramisu and every single single was just to die for!!! Drinks were strong and cheap and the pool table is well taken care of!Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, bar in the front and laid back dining area in the back“

“I went to By George for the first time yesterday & let me just say everything was great!!! The atmosphere, the food, the service. 10/10. The gyro dip was amazing!! Our server McKenna was so friendly & nice. I will definitely be back!“

“Food was delicious! No complains! Everything was cooked well done. Service was very awesome well polite. Highly recommend you try it! Fast service called in order and everything ordered was well completed. Can’t say enough about it! Well worth the money I spent for lunch! No Complaints! 5 Star Ratings!!“

“When we arrived the restaurant was very crowded we have been here about 6 times even though it was crowded the waitress waited on us she was excellent our food came within 7 minutes.The food was delicious. It doesn't matter how crowded it is the most you wsit on your food to arrive is 5 to 7 minutes unbelievable we continue to keep going back because it's a very pleasant place and everything is just so perfect. Give it a try and you will keep going back. You will always get a large portion of food“

“This was a mixed bag. There were 8 of us. Parking is sufficient, right off 88, not hard to find. Easy wheelchair access. After ordering, you seat yourself. They don't take reservations. Waitresses bring your drinks & food to the table.You order at a cafeteria counter, but the food is upscaled. They smoke their own meats outside in the parking lot. The menu is varied with brisket & pulled pork as the smoked products served in familiar as well as new formats like a pulled pork taco. Smelled great, but I was determined to try the buttered lobster roll. It was amazing! Small, tender bun stuffed with the meat of 1 lobster all in butter, unfortunately I did bite into a small bit of shell. Hubby tried the lentil, ham, veggie soup. It was a pretty large bowl & really good. His entree was a shaved ribeye sandwich, also excellent, although I thought it could have had more meat. Crispy, salted waffle fries were terrific. Others had burger, small plate salmon dinner, crab cake - everyone was pleased. The desserts were not very good. Creme Brulee & cheesecake were good, cookies & brownies were hard, not good.Overall, I would go back again. Next trip I will be trying those tacos.“

“This place has become a staple for our family since moving into the South Hills area. The small diner feel where the staff remembers your name and order before you can get the words out...this is it!! I love their Western Omelets and the Cinnamon Raisin Toast. But there's nothing in the menu subpar“

“Highly reccomend fantastic fish... didn't try the homemade hot sauce as I'm a tarter guy but maybe next time... got the fish sandwich and let's say I'm stuffed more than a crab cake.... Enough for two people or someone that's super hungry recommend the extra roll... only negative i can give is I'm not a fan of the Ken's tarter sauce it's a tad too thick like a paste... but then again it's hard to find a good pre made tarter sauce.... Wish they did a homemade tarter but i digress this is a very good fish place and the employees are nice and kind which is always a plus... will be back“

“Spoonwood is a great spot for just about any outing. Great selection of beer and a nice variety of food options. The restaurant has a nice open layout with outdoor seating available in the nice months. We've been here a few times and always seem to have friendly and personable servers which makes a nice evening. I'd rate the place higher but I do feel the prices are a bit too high.“

“Reserved deck area for a meeting/working dinner. Meal was very enjoyable. So much more I want to try on the menu, so will go back. Not the best meeting space, though. Lots of noise echo and not all of the wall plugs were working for chargers. But that won't keep me from eating there again. Food was delish!!“

“I ordered two Chicken Romano dinners and a grilled chicken salad for take out. The Chicken Romano was delicious. It was also very juicy and tender. The grilled chicken salad was very tasty and it was huge. The staff was very friendly to me when I picked up my order. I highly recommended Emil’s and will definitely be back.“

“The fish was huge & falling off the plate. I don't think I've ever eaten anywhere that they didn't forget to bring something out...like ranch or mayo, but it didnt happen here. You get a lot of food for a very reasonable price. The place was packed the whole time we were there. All the staff were nice & friendly. Definitely worth a trip to South Hills!“

“The food here was fantastic. We came for my boyfriends birthday dinner while in town. The wait staff was so friendly. Chef Lamar was amazing! We had the steak specials. His food was incredible and he was very attentive, constantly checking in. I come from a local bar background so finding one so far from where we live that felt like home was the icing on the cake! (Pun intended) 5 stars all around and we will definitely come back for a visit the next time we’re in town!“

“We had our wedding dinner last evening and it was AMAZING!!! Was above and beyond my expectations!!! They were so easy to work with, put me at ease about all of the details, were so accommodating of our son’s milk allergy, made our guests comfortable! The staff was unbelievably nice and attentive!!! And the food and cake was delicious!!! All of our guests were so impressed with the food and service!! I cannot thank them enough for making our Wedding Day so special!!!!“

“Service and food were awsome...we were seated near entrance but im sure if we were away from people coming and going would have rated atmosphere higher. 1st time there but i will be back. Owner or manager checked on us and said goodbye to us when we left. Could tell he cared. “

“Today, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for brunch. We were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional customer service and high-quality food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the meat lovers omelette, while I was not particularly fond of the pancakes, but the waffles were absolutely delicious.“

“This place really surprised me. It's on my street and my adult kids frequently stop down for a drink or a bite to eat. They rave about it so of course my husband and I had to try. Super friendly service and good food. Love the happy hour specials and the rotating specials. Thrilled to have this little gem on our street.“

“The all time best breakfast in Western PA. Their pancakes are huge. I love the Mancini French Toast, so much food. The best home fries, better than The Waffle Shop!! Will make your pancakes as you want them, I have them pit crispy bacon inside of them, to die for! All in all, come here over the weekend for breakfast, but wait until we have our table! lol! They get packed quick!!“

“POSITIVE - This is an amazing location for a variety of outdoor lifestyles both Male & Female and also kid friendly to enjoy. They host Car shows, Bike Nights, live band and many others for great photo opportunities and social media tags. The food is good and reasonably priced however it is a "CASH ONLY" business. So be sure to stop at an ATM before arriving. Alcohol is reasonably priced also.There parking lot is massive and every event I attend has been packed. So if you are tired of indoor restaurants or just want to experience a fun outdoor adventure. Tiki is the place to be.NEGATIVE - They need to have a lot more shaded seating [preferably away from the stage]. It's a hit or miss that I and as many others are forced to stand, holding and eating our food & drinks because many customers just place purses and other items on the chairs & tables like some deck chairs at some resort then take off. Due to lack of seating, events do not last very long. (2 or 3 hours) than everyone leaves standing too long.Bring Ear Plugs. Noone does a sound check and more often than not the live bands play at a volume heard across the highway for no good reason. Another reason many people only stay for 30min to an hour.Kid-friendliness: The car shows and bike nights are great events to get kids outside and marvel at historical machinery, socialize and get fresh air.Parking: Massive parking lot. Most see to understand. Every event I've attended also has been free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor location on more or less relatively flat surfaces. They do have at least 1 wheelchair accessible Porta Potty.“

“My favorite breakfast spot in the Pittsburgh area! I usually get one of their many benedicts and they're always excellent. I've also tried a few omelets and biscuits and gravy.The menu is pretty large so there's something for everyone. I recommend reading before you go if you can because it can get overwhelming trying to read everything if they're busy.I've also tried some of their take home meals and they're really good too.It can get kind of busy on the weekend so there might be a wait but it's never been long.“

“Big portions, home cooked food. We go once every few months and I've never had a meal I didn't like. The French onion soup and the pecan balls are my favorites. Their pizza crust is probably the only thing I avoid; it's not bad, but it's not good.“

“After a long bike ride on the Boston Trail we were looking for somewhere local to pop in for lunch. We just found this restaurant on Google and couldn’t be happier we gave it a shot. The waitress was absolutely fantastic and the food was delicious! The place is super clean and looks recently updated. We will for sure be back! Thanks!“

“This place is awesome! If you're looking for some fried fish and fried chicken that will blow your balls off, you've found the right place. I've had their chicken salad too and it's a yinzer masterpiece. Sure, I've had their gyro too and it wasn't a 10 out of 10 but this is the FISH and CHICKEN Boss not Mike and Tony's. Don't be a potato, pull you're head out of your rear end and order some fried deliciousness“

“We have dined in and also ordered takeout and have loved everything we have had! Great selection of food and the portions are huge. We also feel comfortable bringing our 6 year old there which is great bc we don't feel that way at other establishments always. We cannot wait to go back!“

“This has been my go-to breakfast spot for almost 10 years now. Their French toast and pancakes are to die for. I swear I can never finish the pancakes but that’s okay in my book. They have specials written on the board. Def give it a try sometime. I recommend ordering just about anything.The servers are super attentive and polite. This is a very friendly local establishment. I’m happy to support this small business! You won’t be disappointed if you eat here. Always fresh. Always hot.Parking: Parking is available on both sides of the building. You can also find parking near the back of the building as well.“

“Stopped in while biking the GAP and had the perfect breakfast to keep me fueled for the rest of my ride. Waitresses were very kind and attentive. Can't wait to go back on my next ride!Parking: Nice outdoor seating next to the building where you can take to-go orders.“

“Went to wing night. Tried 3 sauces. Gold (my personal favorite) honey jalapeño and chipotle bbq. We had the bbq chicken wrap and a sweet and spicy burger ( that was the burger of the month). Some of the best bar food in the 412. Crispy wings. Sauces were original and great. Side was charred Brussels sprouts that were garlicky and a great option. Homemade ranch and blue cheese. Everything here is made in house. Makes 100% difference. Alexa was our waitress and she was terrific. The bar and restaurant were packed and she was very busy. She smiled and talked to everyone as she filled the tables with food and drinks. The kitchen was jamming but they worked seamlessly together. A refreshing display of synergy in the post COVID world. Great food, great service. You’ll never be disappointed at JMOS.“

“I stopped at Bill’s while in the area for breakfast. I am a picky eater and had to have my sandwich a certain way. It was perfect, one of the best sandwiches I’ve eaten in a long time. This will be a weekly stop when I am in the area. Sitting by the window, watching the traffic and eating a delicious sandwich was some great down time for me.“

“I have nothing but good things to say about the Riverhouse. They helped us greatly when it came time to plan a luncheon for after a funeral. They opened up for us and could not have been any nicer. The staff especially Marley and one of the owners Jimmy really helped us out. We ate there a total of 3 times including the luncheon that week and everything was perfect everytime. They really made a stressful time in your life alot easier.“

“We had a funeral luncheon here, and everything was perfect. The banquet room was the right size for our party. People had room to move around and socialize, and it's set apart from the main dining area so it felt private.Even better was the food. There were several options to select for banquet catering and our food was delicious. The rigatoni was a perfect al dente. We had a few people less than anticipated, and to go boxes were provided for our guests.The best part of our event was the service. Jenna helped me plan the event and made suggestions on the menu (she was right about everything!). Jenna and Angelina were our servers. They were wonderful. They checked several times for refills and anything we needed. I'd host another event here in a heartbeat.“

“Great beers, ciders, and even mead! We got the food truck and wandered in. The bartender Travis was very welcoming, he suggested things based on what I told him about my taste. It's very clean, professional establishment. We will definitely be back. They even have a nice mural of west Newton on the wall!“

“This was a really nice First Watch location! Very open atmosphere and a good amount of seating. Service was quick and the food came out fast as well! Definitely recommend their salads here but everything we have had here has been top notch! We will be back “

“Came for a bite to eat and wasn't disappointed at all. Our Apps of brisket nachos & jerk chicken lettuce wraps were delicious. It was wing nite so we tried soy Thai, Nashville Hot, & Hot Garlic Parm. Yummy yummy. Finished off with a homemade dessert. ??? We'll definitely be back “

“From the outside, I wouldn’t have expected such a great restaurant and atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. The drinks were also amazing!!! I had the soup of the day(shrimp and corn chowder) and it was delicious. Definitely home made. I am not local, but will visit again on my next trip.“

“I had my mother's celebration of life at La Eda's and it was perfect. Karla was so easy to work with. Had a personalized menu for guests to choose from. We were able to choose 2-3 entrees fir guests to choose from. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. This was the perfect restaurant for our celebration! Thank you so much!“

“Nice little diner, well atleast I thought it was until I was done eating at the counter and realized that they had a big dinning room on the other side of the wall lol. Good food and prices, I'll definitely be back! Support small businesses!“

“Friendly owner and staff. The food is very good as well. I'm a regular hereParking: There is a parking lot that is free to parkKid-friendliness: People bring their children in sometimes.Wheelchair accessibility: Their is a ramp. No steps to climb“

“Servers are very attentive and take very good care of you! The food was pub food, just okay. The boneless wings needed to be saucier. But we had such a fabulous time with karaoke! Saturday night karaoke was an absolute blast! Best karaoke we’ve been to! We will visit again and be back for sure ?“

“Fantastic food! First time there and food was delicious! Must order the breaded mushrooms. We had the brisket and the Philly steak hoagies. BOTH were perfectly done and super good. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to the next time.“

“Love this local place. Great "bar" food. Wings are the best anywhere. And the buff chick dip is yummy too. Only thing that affects negatively is when the door to the bar (smoking) area is left open or opened frequently because that smell comes through dining area. But still love this place. Always friendly and it's local ❤️“

“it was a great place to go until tonight when we went to dinner the service we received from the waitress was fantastic the food was fantastic but when we went to leave we stopped to play one of the games and ended up being harassed by I guess one of there drunk customers. the sad thing about the situation is one of the owners sat there and let it go on. the guy was very aggressive to us wanting to fight all we did was sit down to play one of the machines and didn't realize the volume was on low. this guy pushed his way in between me and my brother put his hand in the machine and lowered the volume he could of just asked us so my brother told him not to put his hand on the machine and he went off now one of the owners were sitting by him letting this go on. he kept going back to the bar and the machine. he made a comment that we played the machine because we saw him playing it. we were in the table area. as we were leaving we walk by him and he yells oh leaving without fighting me. then he was running his mouth with the f word now the owner is still sitting there letting this go on. I started walking back towards the guy and the owner stops me and said you were leaving so leave. then there was a lady sitting at the same table and she got up and talked to us and walked us out. she was very nice. then there was another drunk woman at the bar and as we were leaving she started running her mouth. I never expected this kind of behavior in this restaurant it was always so peaceful and enjoyable. so I guess here it shows that you must have to be a drunk to get appreciated for you patronizing Coaches. very sad have to find another place now.“

“This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Our waitress, Tonya L. was the absolute best and and so nice. We ordered the Filet and it was delicious. It came with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything from the service to the food was excellent!!“

“The hotdogs were very good, like they would be good with nothing on them kinda good. Not sure how to comment on the sauce, it isn't bad just different, probably the kind of thing that grows on you the more you have it, with all the onions I was hoping I could taste them better. Will probably try cheese dogs the next time I'm around.“

“I hosted a party in the upstairs room over the weekend and it was fantastic. The food was great exactly what we asked for and everyone went above and beyond. Our bartender Chelsi was awesome. Courtney was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed! We will definitely be back! The new owner has made so many improvements it just keeps getting better!“

“The first time I ate there, the food and service were impeccable. A+. I was so impressed that I wanted to share the experience with my family on Superbowl Sunday… so we ordered takeout. Got home and ate our food and I got sick. Wanna know why? My stomach hurt so bad from eating WAY. TOO. MUCH. We ordered apps and wraps and sandwiches…everything was delicious and we all stuffed ourselves because we didn’t want to waste ANYTHING. The dogs were very mad that there were no leftovers to steal. ? If you’ve never been here, do yourself a favor and try it. You won’t be disappointed. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!!!!?? ??“

“Outstanding pizza! As a lifelong NEW YORKER… I love pizza! Shelly Pie Pizza was absolutely outstanding. The best I’ve found in the area as of yet! Service and speedy service coupled with and amazing amount of topping loaded with delicious cheese to satisfy my true pizza craving experience. Thank you for the outstanding food! I WILL BE BACK REPEATEDLY!“

“Great neighborhood sports bar with excellent food quality service and the best wing deal in town!Mulligans is right near Allegheny Co airport so good easy location to get to. Tuesday is the main night I have been here for the 15 bucks all you can eat wing special. Plenty of other choices sandwiches burgers etc. Very reasonable prices on all menu items.Wheelchair accessibility: Very good. Ground level. No steps“

“This place is second to none! Top notch on everything. We had my husbands retirement celebration there last Saturday. We had another venue and 5 days before the event we decided we were making a mistake and called Lynn at the Red Lion Restaurant. On short notice Lynn accommodated every single request we asked her for. We had an extensive Menü, Stuff PorkChops, Roast Beef in gravy, Seafood Alfredo, Rigatoni, Red Roasted Potatoes and a vegetable melody, A charcuterie table that was amazing, the food was excellent, the service was incredible, her staff went far and beyond to make this event special! I want to thank them all for making this celebration in our families life so special and a beautiful memory we will cherish for ever. Do not hesitate to book your event or have dinner or lunch at this restaurant you will not be disappointed.“
