I posted much earlier on this restaurant and was truly impressed...and am even happier to say that the Barbes are getting even BETTER with time and experience. This rivals any southern rib/brisket shack! That's a real compliment! We have been going since they opened and can see that the service and attention to detail gets even better with time. We now have another prime choice of places to eat in Charleroi. I love that we have a variety of choices now. All of our friends love this BBQ joint, too. Not fancy-just good! Fine for take-out, kids, and now with the addition of a ramp, handicapped folks. Have not had a bad thing on the menu...but I'd love for some real mayo southern slaw with Duke's Mayo. Everything is yummy, folks. From dryrub to super saucy, it's finger lickin' good. Or as the real down home boys say, "It's so good it'll make you smack your Momma!" Natalie & Dan K.

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.

My husband and I recently dined here for lunch and supper and both experiences were exceptional. We tried the following: Hamburger, Pulled pork, special grilled cheese, special chicken supper, beet salad, mac-n-cheese, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, a variety of desserts. Everything was excellent. Staff all very personable and made sure everyone was taken care of properly.This was my favorite pulled pork sandwich, enough meat for 2 sammies. French fries are beyond generous and tasty, though I like less seasoning/pepper so would ask for them without next time. Homemade chips are also great. Burger cooked as requested and yummy. Mac-n-cheese very cheesy. The veggies are just excellent and flavorful. Hubs enjoyed the beet salad and it wasn't too skimpy on the beets (though he would have loved more). The chicken was very tender and the side of risotto was a true risotto and cooked very well and great flavor.They have a pastry chef and we enjoyed everything we tried.I feel the prices are very reasonable considering the amazing quality you get and very large portions. The burger and fries $10, pulled pork a few dollars more. Sides are very large. Chicken dinner was $23 and was 2 chicken breasts. You can't eat at chain restaurants and get this quality and quantity for the price.The only thing I could recommend is to have larger water glasses so the kids don't have to run around doing refills as much (their crew really hustles and never missed a beat) and to have a better system for dinner opening on busy nights. One lady almost had a stroke because she thought we cut in line. Maybe pick a number while you are lined up outside waiting to get in. Cannot believe we finally got such a great place so close to home!!!

I have been here several times and have yet to be disappointed. This time I tried the ahi tuna and was more than pleased with the dish. The tuna was cooked to medium rare perfection. The cream sauce with wilted spinach was for me a great compliment to the fish. The sides of mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus were equally satisfying. Service was prompt and friendly as usual.

My husband and I had an early dinner here on a Tuesday night. It was almost empty. We started with mussels, supposed to be a pound, but didn't seem like it. They were tasty. We also got potato soup, watery and bland. I had the salmon dinner with salad and sweet potato fries. Salad was not fresh.Lettuce was brown and wilted, also cucumbers. Sweet potato fries were burnt. Salmon was ok, but quite small for a dinner portion. Husband got the antipasto salad, would have been good, but it was drenched in the dressing. Food was Definitely Overpriced for the quality. Also overcharged for the salmon?Vicky ... I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment in the food quality of your dinners. I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised to hear this but regardless will speak to my manager and kitchen staff that were on that night. Our salads are a huge seller for us and are made fresh to order. We turn over our product so fast that we shouldn't have any wilting or browning (same with the cucumbers), but perhaps there were a few brown pieces in the new mix that my salad person didn't see it. The mussels are pre-weighed at a pound and portioned on a scale by our chef. I suppose it may be hard to judge by the eye. The salmon that we purchase is a high quality piece of fish and we are addressing the size with our vendor. Like you, we have noticed some of the salmon sizes are smaller than others. I assure you that I will bring your comments to my staff and also, talk to your waitress. We hope that you will come back and try us again and please don't hesitate to bring your concerns up with our waitstaff or my manager. We would like the opportunity to fix anything that you're not happy with. All my best and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

My spouse took me here for my birthday. The restaurant is in a old mansion that has been refurbished--very nice setting for a good meal. The waiter was very attentive (actually there were two working our section). I ordered their Cajun salmon soup (very good) and pear and walnut salad (excellent) as appetizers. My main course was the citrus chicken: very moist with a moderate citrusy taste. The garlic finger potatoes were excellent and the candied carrots were outstanding (only complaint: wish they put more on the plate!). For desert, I had coffee and the red velvet cake with buttercream icing. The cake didn't have a lot of flavor--nor did the icing. Not too impressed with that. Overall, I would highly recommend the Back Porch and we'll definitely be returning. Admittedly it's a little pricey--but the setting, service and great food are worth the price.

We talk a few clients here for lunch the other day. Every dish we had was delicious. Burgers could feed a small family, as could most of the other dishes we ordered. All were delicious. Wait staff was friendly and fast. A real nice decor and layout also. Get there a little before noon, it fills up fast for lunch.

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.

I had zucchini parm, salad, pasta and garlic bread for only $11.50. The food was outstanding Italian and the price was great for what you got. Their cakes and pies are also fantastic, all homemade. Best place to eat in MonCity.
