- RMRachel MisiewiczSep 29, 20251.0Embarrassed that this location has any affiliation with Pittsburgh. Service was Slow, disorganized and lazy. The only food that was decent was the onion rings and they didn’t come out until after the meal. We will not be back. What a shame. There are too many other options to come here. TV volume was over the top. Way too loud.
- ESEmily SmithSep 26, 20254.0Didn't go for food or drink THANK GOD bcuz it was PACKED with college kids everywhere and the parking here is absolutely ridiculous 🙄 this place needs to relocate asap!! So so busy!!! And the lines were around the block to get into the place at 5:30pm... thank God I was able to get with a bouncer and get a gift card fast because if I had to wait in that line I may not have been able to accomplish anything for HOURS.. Wow!!! And watch out for grown people just walking across in front of you while you drive down the streets.. absolutely ridiculous 🙄
- HPHector PuglieseSep 6, 20255.0Excellent restaurant and sandwich shop at Pennsylvania State University
- JWJason WissnerAug 25, 20254.0The food was decent but way too much bread to meat ratio. Coleslaw was good in its own way but not great. Service was outstanding. With these prices, it's a good value and worth going back.
- ERElizabeth RilesAug 11, 20252.0A friend recommended the restaurant. The sandwiches had little meat on them. The larger steak and cheese sandwich was supposed to have onions and peppers but there really were no onions. The fries were over salted
