What Ghiță Gal doesn't like about Pilot House:
It's pretty sad they raise the prices and then charge you a 10% tip on a to go order. I always tipped on my to go orders but never again. Posting a copy of receipt on social media on how your rip people off on to go orders. View all feedback. What Janet Lang likes about Pilot House:
What a find!. What a dive! And I love dives. Great character. Yummy food. Favors that made my mouth smile. Prime rib sandwich. The Tank, a sandwich that was loaded with goodness. Ribs. And a brisket sandwich. All good. Only complaint I wish they had a better choice of beers on tap. View all feedback.

Outstanding! If you are from out of town this is a great place to go and get a great meal! Be warned sometimes there is a wait for seats!

The Pilot House is a long-standing restaurant that has had its ups and downs, with some customers expressing disappointment over the increased prices and lackluster food quality. However, others have raved about the unique character of this dive bar establishment, praising the flavorful dishes such as the prime rib sandwich and loaded potato appetizer. While some have complained about the smoky atmosphere and tough ribs, others have found the food and service to be exceptional, recommending dishes like the Big Hot Cheese and The Tank. Overall, The Pilot House seems to evoke strong opinions from its patrons, but for those willing to overlook its outward appearance, it may just be a hidden gem worth visiting.

The sign says established in 1962 and the dive-bar exterior seems to back that up, as does the dive-bar interior. But the food and the service is exceptional. I...
