10. Texas Roadhouse
Reviewed By richardsK6606ER
We got there at about 4:15 and they said there was a twenty minute wait. They were wrong. It was only about six minutes. Yay! We both ordered same rib eye. Both were prepared as we requested, medium rare. Nicely seasoned to boot. My side salad was clearly fresh and the dressing delightful. The smashed potato my wife had appeared freshly made. My baked potato was well cooked as well. The aroma of freshly grilled steak and baked potato is very enticing. The service was very pleasant as well. For a restaurant that just opened it was very professionally done. We will be back.

Stopped here for lunch during our biking trek on the Great Allegheny Passage. A tea room and gift shop 300 feet off the trail in this small burro of Boston PA. They serve lunch only, sandwiches and soup and a few sides. I would call them gourmet sandwiches served simply. Chicken, beef, lobster cake, tuna and pork were offered. All four of us had a different serving and all were great. Strangely enough the green beans were outstanding. Great hospitality. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the nice weather.

I live nearby and often walk to Jimâs. Although Iâve never gotten their special sauce which they are known for, I always get hot dogs with sauerkraut. Itâs the best dog/sauerkraut Iâve ever tasted. Cute little sitting area with picnic tables outside. No eat in service. Always great service.

We stopped in for lunch yesterday and were impressed with the interior layout. We were greeted by our waitress very quickly with menu in hand. The menu has a great amount of options, as they say, from soup to nuts. Since we did not have hours to spend we went with the all American favorite, cheesburgers and fries. Our orders came and the food was very good. The service, food, and cool interior is great! The only fault for us was the portion sizes. The burgers were small, the larger order of fries was big enough for one, and $5.00 for two glasses of soda was a bit much. The cost of the lunch will not break our bank but when I write a review I compare the establishment to other's we have visited. Please understand that this is a great tavern but not really one that we will revisit. Our fav remains the Beach House in Finleyville, just a few miles away. Rich and Dr. Linda W.

Long-running Pittsburgh-born chain known for sandwiches piled high with coleslaw & french fries.
Reviewed By richardsK6606ER
I know this is a heresy around here but Iâm not a Primanti Bros. fan. Their huge sandwiches not withstanding, the fries get cold and soggy quickly, the slaw is nearly tasteless, and the service slow. To top it off the room was noisy even though it was only about 1/3 full, the decor was old looking and everything was dingy, including the glasses and silverware.

I've been passing by Elliot's Barbeque for over three years, and on a Saturday afternoon, I did a U-turn and stopped for lunch. I was thrilled with the food. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich. I usually don't ever concede defeat to a sandwich, but I had to ask for a container to take about one-third home. It was great pulled pork on a big bun. I like going to places like this for cole slaw. I was not disappointed. Really good textire, not too coarse, not to fine, just right. I asked about the recipe, it is made on-site. It tasted very much like the slaw recipe that is used at the local parish's fish fry that everyone raves about, at at my church, it cannot be confirm nor denied that we have obtained that recipe. I sat at the bar on a Saturday afternoon, and had a draft while waiting for my food. The staff was coming in for dinner, and they were all pleasant. But what was remarkable was the cook coming out and proposing a combo special for the evening, and proposing a price. Holy Smokes ! ! If I didn't have a prior commitment, I would have return home, loaded up the car and said that we're going out a day early for Father's Day to go back for the rib eye steak and barbeque rib special. I will go back. Definitely. Not a fancy place, just to go back to get some good food with some good people.

Stopped for lunch on 1/8. After navigating a icy parking lot and sidewalk, we were the only diners around 1pm. I have been here before when busy and never noticed a timing issue. We ordered an app, and dinners with salads. The whole process took about 45 in to 1 hour to receive the third course of dinner. I realize the items are made to order but there should be a faster sequence of delivery.Clams/linguini and meatloaf were good. The fried mushrooms had the taste of unfiltered fry oil, easy fix. Salads with cucumbers had the appearance of freezer burn. Thats where the produce fridge is running a little too cold and they freeze overnight. Tomatoes had the taste of freezer burn, and some lettice also had the appearance. Other than that rolls were hot a fresh and drinks were refilled non-stop. Good place, they just need to be on the ball in the dining room. Slow time of day does not mean slow service.
1. Rockwell's Red Lion Restaurant

The Rockwell Red Lion was incredibly accommodating to our group. We were 6 adults and 3 young children coming for dinner after the 6 year old had a dance recital next door at the Grand Theater. I asked for â4 âchefs choiceâ table appetizersâ, (which of course wasnât a thing, I just wanted shareable appetizers and didnât want to choose) and they accommodated. It started our perfect âafterpartyâ. Appetizers were all delicious. Crab, wings, zucchini fries and bruschetta. That honestly would have been enough food, and we could have stopped, but we didnât. Instead we settled in for a long evening. Great company. Great fun. Great appetizers. Great drinks (and even cheap!) Great dinners. Great desserts. Great hospitality from all of the staff. Adults and kids unanimously rated the experience a 10 WITH 2 thumbs up. Every single dinner ranged from very good to exceptional. And, as I said, the Rockwell was very accommodating, we had a vegetarian that they easily and readily accommodated and 2 of the 3 kids REALLY wanted chicken nuggets. Not in the menu, but again the chef accommodated us. The house red wine with dinner was surprisingly good. And to finish the evening most of the desserts were fantastic. The pricing would be what I consider mid-range. More than an Eat N Park, less than a LaMont. The food was MUCH closer, possibly better, than The LaMont Appetizers, soup/salads, amazing bread, full dinners, alcohol/wine/beer (for some) and some desserts for 6 adults, plus kids meals with shared desserts ran about $225. Not bad for nine people and a couple of hours of fine dining. The crowing jewel of the experience was our waitress, Kylie. If any management reads these reviews, please know, she was one of the best waitstaff we have ever encountered. Give her some brownie points! She was kind, funny, efficient, helpful, and made our party feel at home. Believe it or not, being made to feel comfortable in a nice adult-centric restaurant when you are a large group with little kids and chaotic adults is a major accomplishment. MAJOR. The dancing queen insisted on giving her a flower from her bouquet because she was âsuch a nice and pretty and good waitressâ. Kylie thanked her, put the daisy in her hair and made the six year old very happy. There is no doubt we will make this a regular âafterpartyâ ritual every single time there is a recital/show at the Grand for as long as there are dancing queens in the family!I thank the management and staff and specifically Kylie for making this a way better experience than I ever anticipated. The only thing we will do differently next time is eat less. We all left over-stuffed even though everyone took home leftovers.
