10. Magill's Grill
Reviewed By Jim G
My daughter called and wanted to have lunch. Since it was lent & Friday I recommended Magill's Grill. I had not been there for a very long time. I had an amazing, very nicely seasoned cod sandwich & plenty of fresh cut fries. I took half home and had it for supper. My daughter had pasta that she like very much. I will not stay away so long again. The waitress seemed to be preoccupied & was not the most attentive waitress I have ever had. I found that odd being we were the only 2 diners. I think she may have also been the bartender.
9. Mac Kenzie's Pub
Reviewed By Jim G
Mac Kenzie's Pub is the quintessential neighborhood bar. The wings are the best in the area & the pizza is hard to beat. The owner Lynn & staff are the best. The place is clean, quiet, comfortable & homey. You can't help but love this place. Try it as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed.

We stopped in here after a shopping day it wasn't very busy. The girl serving us had someone walk out without paying. We ordered the Southwest Steak salad it was very tasty and filled us up. We like to stop here because it's convenient and is a better deal than fast food. The salad had a 6 ounce sliced sirloin and greens with a Chimichurri sauce and a cilantro ranch dressing. Something different and was perfect for lunch. The service was good and we had a relaxing lunch. Definitely try it.

Visited for lunch with friends. Lots of choices on the menu. Had a salad with roasted turkey strips. The greens and the turkey were excellent in flavor and presentation. Our server was attentive and prices were reasonable. The atmosphere is sports bar related, comfortable yet intimate allowing for conversation without shouting over loud music. Will definitely go again and try the pizza.

4. Zottola's Pub and Eatery

Recently my wife and I, along with 2 other couple, went to Zottola's for dinner. Zottola's was recommended to me by a friend who goes there regularly and since none of the 6 of us had ever been there before, it was a true adventure. The restaurant itself is located in an old hotel on the Bakerstown-Culmerville Rd. in West Deer. If you have no idea where that's at, it's about 8 miles outside of Bakerstown, on the edge of Tarentum. You enter the restaurant through the bar, with the restaurant itself, which is small but very nice, behind the bar area. For an appetizer, my wife and I shared their Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta at $7.50. Although not a huge portion (4 pieces) it was one of the best we've ever had. Next came a salad course, with all of their dressings in-house homemade. Delicious! For the entree, we each ordered the Mahi Mahi over Lemon Cream Sauce with Tri Colored Rotini at $22.00. This was one of the Chef's Specials. However, even though it was only a little after 6 PM, the chef came out to inform our group that he was running low on Mahi Mahi, but could do a dish of half Mahi Mahi and half Halibut, which my wife accepted. I did find it odd as a former restaurant owner/manager that they had run out of the nightly special so early on a mid-week night, with just a few patrons in the restaurant besides ourselves. Anyway, the entree I'd rate it a "C". Mahi Mahi is a very light fish, and the lemon cream sauce was also very light, making for a relatively bland meal. For dessert, I, along with 3 other members of our party ordered a cannoli, and in my case added house made butter pecan ice cream. All members really did not like the cannoli. Although it may have been made in the traditional manner, it lacked any sense of sweetness, and the ricotta filling totally over powered the dessert. The ice cream was also underwhelming in both flavor and texture. A huge disappointment! To top it off, the evening coffee was also a disappointment....machine made and way to weak. So, to sum it all up, the evening started great with the appetizer and salad, was OK in the middle with the entree, and a disappointment at the end with the dessert and coffee. The key question for any establishment is would I go back? The answer is "Maybe", but certainly would not rush to return, as Pittsburgh has so many small family owned restaurants that frankly in my estimation serve better food and are a better value for the money.

We stop here about once a month. The wings are great and are not fried. I usually get the 10 piece original hot with small fries and my wife likes the cajun. The prices are decent and two can eat for under $20.

I passed Killian's a month ago on the way to another place, but looked Killian's up and found the great reviews. For us, it was a 25-minute journey each way, but having gotten there, it was well worth the trip! Our server was wonderful, helpful and attentive. They had the pork chops on the menu, and she suggested that I try that since they have ribs all of the time. I had them put their own barbecue sauce and the Korean sauce on the side to try them both. The pork chop was really large, had excellent flavor and went with both sauces very well. I had the home fries which were excellent and more than plentiful. It came with a salad as a starter, and it was a bowl with lots of what looked like mache lettuce with some darker colored leaves mixed in, some sliced olives, sliced cucumber, croutons, cherry tomatoes and a few beets. It was excellent, but so large that I would never have been able to eat dinner. My wife had a burger with the red skin potatoes, and both were excellent. The burger was pink as ordered, and the potatoes might just have been better than the home fries. Though trying to watch what I am eating, we tried the Black Forest cake for dessert, and it too was wonderful.As a note, I have no idea what the other reviewer was talking about when he said the place is not worth the money and paid $40 for 2 soups and 2 salads. We had the two dinners and dessert, and the total bill, with a diet Coke, was $44.We will be back several times to try some of the other offerings.

This is a good place to eat that you would not expect to find in its location. You have to literally drive around back of the front of the building. Iâve gone here for their crab leg night which I believe is Wednesdays. (I would double check the day if I were you). The crab legs are really tasty. Sometimes I get their shrimp. You can get it cold or hot and it is delicious. It makes me feel like Iâm on vacation! They have a really great menu as far as variety. I hear their chicken wrap with raspberry sauce is really good too.
