Really wanted to try this place for awhile now, since it's mere minutes from my house (oh, the places two young children won't take you sometimes???? . As it were, had an opportunity to take the family, and it was very nice. The server was very attentiveand friendly, the menu not overbearing while also having plenty of intriguing options, and the tap list was vast and varied. Ihad a chicken and waffle sandwich that was very good, one of the better iterations I've had in Pittsburgh, while my wife had ashrimp salad and my daughter the kids pasta. Everyone was happy with their meal and the rotating 25 beer tap list yielded somenice sips as well. Will definitely visit again when the situation presents itself, hopefully sooner than later.

The wait staff was phenomenal, very attentive and always checking in. The food was subpar. I got the bbq brisket sandwich with fries and the bun was rock hard as well as the fries. The meat good and the beer selection was great. If the quality of food wasbetter this place would have received 5 stars but for my first time being there, it was really lacking

I got the $20 pig basket with ribs and pork and oh my, it was about as dry and as flavorless as you can get! Super disappointing and nothing like what I was expecting. The sides were microscopic and the drink menu didn’t have prices on it and we got two beers which were $10 each. Our bill came out to $70!!! The service was wonderful though, but the delivery and food was horrible!! I’m never coming here again and would not recommend it to anyone unless you want to pay an arm and a leg, you’re better off going to Bergatory. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
