Peanutz is a perfectly good neighborhood bar on East Ohio Street. Their beer selection is adequate (basically all the American macro lagers, plus a few of the more widely-known craft beers, like Sierra Nevada), and their bar is stocked with the full gamut of booze (except ouzo). Trish, the bartender, is a fantastic bartender with a hilariously sharp tongue.\n\nI haven't tried very many of the menu items, except for the chicken wings, which are a house specialty. Everyone recommends the Four-Dip sauce, which is pretty good. The Cajun rub is good too.\n\nDecor-wise, Peanutz is focused largely on Pittsburgh sports -- there are two large display cases with all sorts of sports memorabilia. There's a handsome wooden bar in the front room, and a dining room off to the side. | 12

I went here on a Saturday night with a few friends. They had a DJ so there was a cover of $3 - boo! I'm really adverse to covers unless there's something really great going on and considering I had never been in this place before, I was taking a chance. For those that know me, I'm not the gambling kind. \n\nBut I thought ok it's just $3 so it's not like I'd be going broke. The music was fairly loud which made it difficult to talk and no one was dancing. It wasn't overly crowded which made it easy to get drinks. \n\nAm I glad I checked this place out - sure, but have I been to better dance clubs/bars - yes. If you're in the area and looking for something to do, then check it out, but I wouldn't make a special trip to go here. | 01

Get me some Peanutzz!! We decided on a whim to try something different for a bar and this place indeed was. Saturdays there is a cover for the DJ which was $3. This didn't seem so bad to me after coming from other cities where the covers are $15 and $20 and higher but I feel like the place could use the money. Peanutz is a small venue. The bar area is narrow and cramped then to the left of it there is a dark area where the DJ is along with some tables and then the stairs to the bathroom. If you weren't at the bar then people were just sitting at the tables starring at the DJ or at you... Maybe one or two people were dancing to the music. I thought the music was awesome though - a mix of old school and underground hip hop. Beers were so cheap - I think we paid $5 for three draft beers. Woot!! However some folks were smoking and the bathrooms were gross. My jacket took a few days to air out the smell of the smoke. I won't be returning even if Peanutz offered some peanuts. | 01

I am a pretty easygoing guy. I would've overlooked the fact(s) that:\n\n1. Jim Beam is your only bourbon. \n2. For some reason two drinks came out to $9.90.* \n3. Even with only 10 people in the bar, the music was absolutely deafening. \n4. You charge a $3 cover for no discernible reason.\n5. Rolling blunts is apparently kosher inside the bar, but sharing, not so much.\n\nHowever, I can't let this slide: your claw machine is BULLSHIT. That is the weakest claw of all time, and there's no chance it is EVER picking up anything in that cage. I feel violated, and I want my dollar back. \n___________\n\n*I think that's some sort of weird PA tax thing. | 01

To start, the bathrooms are DISGUSTING, with that being said I would never EAT anything here again. This is a neighborhood bar for me. I've been in here a handful of times, the crowd is never rowdy or out of control. The bar area is clean and the restaurant has a very nice mellow atmosphere. I normally only drink Coor Light drafts which are 2.75!!! that's a lot of beer for less than 3 dollars. I have had the wings in the past, before I saw what a disaster the bathrooms were. They fry their wings to order and they come out hot and fresh. \n\nThe patrons are a older work crowd, not too may youngsters here. \nI have enjoyed myself here and will probably be going back again this weekend. | 01
|
I've been here a few times. Can't beat five dollar Coors Light pitchers... \n\nThe crowd tends to be black. I tend to be white. And obviously from out of town. People are friendly. It's just a neighborhood bar. People talk to each other and have a good time. \n\nThe food is well priced and good. \n\nThe music is going to blow your ears up, if you care about that, don't come. | 12

Our bartender didn't know what a pint was or how to pour a beer | 01

STAY AWAY...\nWe've been 3 times over the past few years, each time we say \""let's try it again\"" followed by \""wish we'd done something else\"".\n\nReminds me of the movie line \""Run away, run very far away\""\n\nLast nite after Steelers/Jets was last straw. I hope the owner or general manager reads this. And think the health department should too.\n\nService is mediocre and slow. consistently. Waitress was ok in attitude.\n\nAfter our soup starter (good french onion soup) we waited and waited and waited and waited for our mains. Noticing us staring at her, waitress stopped by, went into kitchen, came back and said we were next. my watch said 8:31. Then her manager came by and argued with me and said we were next, then at 8:52pm the horrible food finally arrived. That's 21 minutes to be next. In that time we watched 4 tables turn from being seated to drinks to mains to check down while we waited for our main. \n\nManager embarrassed himself. Said they were busy and working our food and he had checked and would come soon. I told him about the 4 tables turning and he said no they didn't. then I said I used to manage restaurants and know what customer service and ticket times are and he challenged me and said no I didn;t and I had no idea what I was talking about. What an idiot! First rule of restaurant business is the customer is always right.\n\nThen the food arrived. How hard is it to do chicken marsala with mushrooms, seriously? It was two soggy fried chicken tenders from the deep fryer (not pan sauteed) over a bowl of bowtie pasta with shrooms and a sauce. While the sauce did have some marsala in it, it was full of sour cream and tasted like stroganoff and a little funny. The Penne ala vodka was sauteed canned tomatoes and no flavor. We were so hungry we ate most and left.\n\n1 hour later I was sick on the side of the road from the dinner and still feel really rough this morning. | 01

The food is good and the portions are large. The service is terrible. The servers are just \""too cool,\"" to show any sort of hospitality. No personality or spark. I don't know if they hate working there or hate serving people. It's puzzling. Why be in the service business if you have a bad attitude? I have been here a couple of times and it doesn't change. They just look at you blankly, like they don't understand what you are saying. I've never had a staring contest with a hostess before. It's bizarre. I wonder if they are all on Xanax... | 01

I feel bad about giving this place such a meh review but every time I go that's exactly how I feel when I leave. Atria's is one of those places that I've never had any type of memorable service experience or food experience for that matter.\n\nI can't say the food is bad, but it's not really great either. I will say the service is always so. It's almost as if they don't realize you have other places to go; you can just sit at their restaurant all day. On the upside the busboy's and girls are hounding your table filling your water glass after taking a sip. So if you're a horse you won't go thirsty.\n\nHonestly though. you are better off eating the park. I mean who doesn't love Manny's BBQ? | 01

My husband and I are Cubs fans and flew into Pittsburgh to see Friday and Saturday's Cubs-Pirates game this past weekend (7/7 & 8). We got to PNC Park around 5 p.m. and since the gates weren't open we decided to sit and have some drinks before the game. We stopped first at Atria's. Although there was only one other table occupied outside, we were told if we weren't going to order food (just drink) we would have to give up our table if people, who were eating food needed it. This was RIDICULOUS to us so we left! We were paying guests just like their other guests!! Anyway we went a few businesses down and drank at Dominic's. We went to Dominic's both nights and probably spent close to $100 AND did up getting FOOD. Atria's better rethink how they treat guests.... | 01
|
Ugh, I hate this place. People from work drag me here to lunch more often than I would like. The food is overpriced. The service is snotty and slow. I can barely get free in under an hour-and-a-half. The food is forgettable and the menu sparse. They're terrible for pick-up too - even when you call way ahead, you're made to wait, and they're surly about taking care of you when you arrive for your food. You can do better for lunch on the northshore pretty much anywhere. Try SoHo or Finnegan's instead. | 01
|
The food is acceptable. They have a pretty wide range, but narrow the menu on Pirates game days. I tried the seared ahi tuna. It was good, but nothing memorable. The location appears to be the best thing about the place. Sitting outside on a warm evening, looking at the city skyline and seeing people walk around before a Pirates game is an interested dinner experience. But don't go for the menu. | 01

Well, everything is just grand in Pittsburgh when the October weather is so beautiful!! But we had a great 'lil Saturday lunch here at Atria's after walking our new puppy around the North Shore. They have plenty of outdoor tables (in the shade) and we grabbed a corner one with our pup. They were totally cool about it, and offered water, etc. The bf was starving per usual, so he started with the crab bisque, which he said was \""awesome\"". He also had their spicy pasta entree, while I opted for a fresh house chopped salad and a glass of pinot grigio. The salad was super fresh, and they didn't skimp on any of the \""good veggies\"". Only gripe is, I asked for no crumbled bleu cheese, and it came out with it. I didn't feel like complaining, so just picked it off. The salad definitely would have been more enjoyable for me without it (I don't eat cheese) but it was a nice size salad for the cost. It was also an Oktoberfest special, so bf got the Dunkel brew to drink. Our waitress was really nice and all in all, it was a good experience. I would definitely come back! | 12

I wasn't expecting 4 star service. We walked in and had to wait 5 minutes before one of the servers noticed us since the hostess wasn't at her post. He took us to the banquet room and seated us at the last table in the front. The tables had plastic table cloths that have seen better days ours had holes in it and still had some caked on super stain sauce in one area. Then we waited 20 minutes before our waitress came to greet us. She took our drink order and our dinner order. (pretty simple since it was a prix fix menu with only choices for soup or salad and a choice of ham or turkey and either Apple or Pumpkin Pie). She brought the drinks right away. Then 10 minutes for the salad/soup -- very tasty, but no rolls were delivered to go with and no sign of the waitress. One of the employees goes out the emergency exit door located directly behind me (BLAST OF COLD AIR) Only after finishing the first course did she bring the rolls/butter and didn't clear the dirty plates. Another 15 minutes passed before the waitress stopped by the table and cleared the dirty dishes. (THE HOSTESS COMES IN FROM OUTSIDE THROUGH THE DOOR WITH A BLAST OF COLD AIR) A minute later she came by and said our main course would be along in a minute and she proceeded to go out the door directly behind me. (MORE COLD AIR) The main course was delivered by a food runner. The turkey was tasty and just a little on the dry side and needed more gravy, but there was no sign of our waitress to even ask for more gravy. Eating as slowly as possible so as to have the opportunity to get gravy for the turkey there simply was no attention paid to us. (ANOTHER EMPLOYEE GOES THROUGH THE DOOR, MORE COLD AIR) Finally the waitress comes over and asks how was it, I explain that the cold air is too much to handle. THE EMPLOYEE WHO WENT OUT CAME BACK IN AND WE ALL GET BLASTED BY COLD AIR. She replies it is what it is and shrugs and walks away. She must have said something to the manager, because he comes over to ask how our meal was. I reply that it was just OK, that the food was good for the most part (he gave a shocked reply because I didn't say it was great) but that I was disturbed with the number of times the employees kept using the door to go outside to smoke. He seemed shocked to learn that that door was being used at all and said he'd put a stop to it. We said that we usually tip 100% on holiday meals like this since the workers have to give up a day with their family but that since the staff didn't seem to care as much about us, so we would not be doing 100% tip this time. I explained that we don't expect any kind of comp, but that he needed to know that his employees were making the dining room uncomfortable by using the emergency exit for their smoke breaks and social encounters. He said he was sorry for our experience and left the table. Our waitress eventually stopped by and we requested our pie packed to go. She delivered the pie and the bill at the same time. -- it isn't over yet. . . . While in the process of signing the bill the hostess comes over to request the chairs at our table. I explain to her that we are leaving. She was very impatient and said she only needed a minute to take the chairs and I scolded her saying that we are leaving right away and to give us 30 seconds to sign the check and she can have all the chairs at our table she scuffed off to take chairs from an empty table and blocked our attempt to exit while she was struggling to move the chair she grabbed. We chose to exit through the main dining room and bar as should be the practice for all patrons and employees. Like I said to the manager, we consider ourselves to be fairly regular patrons of Atria's PNC Park, and Atria's Fox Chapel -- but this was the worst service I've ever for an Atria's Restaurant. I don't want anything for publishing this review other than people to be highly aware of the lack of common sense by the staff on this particular day. I'll eat at Atria's again but it will be with some trepidation and with high caution that they'll probably screw something up so I have to be on high alert to get what I pay for. Posting this on Facebook and to yelp and tripadvisor might help get the owner's attention. The place could be great if they just had proper training, rules and regulations for their staff and a dose of common sense. | 01

As your standard restaurant, Atria's has no personality: the food is blah, the service is eh, and nothing is really all that memorable. The patio and it's proximity to the ball parks are its saving grace. \n\nNow, let's talk about when we reserved a room for a bridal shower... We had a fixed menu for a group of about 50 ladies. I understand that. But when the bride asks for no tomatoes, you as a server do not say, \""No substitutions!\"" in your meanest voice. Lighten up, it's her day. I ended up just taking the tomatoes off for her--and just chalked it up to another maid of honor duty. The server also kept clearing the bride's drinks while she mingled. This was annoying, but at least we had paid a flat fee for drinks, so it wasn't the hugest deal.\n\nOverall, the server for the bride's table was just awful and kept treating us like little children. Yes, the table was the bridal party and the bride's cousins. Yes, we are all under 30. But we are also young professionals and the ones who booked the event. The servers who waited on the rest of the tables containing the mothers, aunts, great aunts, and grandmothers were polite...even when my near-senile grandmother started yelling about bandits. Later, another server apologized on behalf of our bad server and mumbled that, \""he just must be on his period.\""\n\nWhile Atria's is fine for a glass of wine before a Pirate's game if a table is open outside, I certainly would never book it again for a private function. | 01
|
Located right next to PNC Park, so is a decent place to get a beer and some grub prior to game day. That and outdoor seating are main perks. Otherwise, food and prices are not worth a stop. This place will fill up on game day, but should be avoided when the Pirates aren't in town. It isn't a BAD experience. If you are siting outside and you have a view of Pittsburgh, it can't be that bad. | 01

I have a dream. A dream that some day the North Shore will have a ton of amazing food options. I hope one day it will become a reality. For now, I think there's a smattering of okay-ish places and a lot of mediocrity. \n\nMaybe it's just the built in crowd. You come to a game, you gotta eat, right? And what are you going to eat? Either at a restaurant outside the stadium or inside. At this point I'd stick with inside for the novelty of it all. \n\nI stopped into Atria's on game day, but came in right as the first pitch was going out, so it wasn't packed in the least. Our server was obviously not into us, as well as serving that day, as she was pretty short with us the entire time. Sorry we bothered you...\n\nThe menu is incredibly limited with around 5 apps, 5 sandwiches and 5 main courses. I get that they're probably just limiting things for the crowded times, but I felt like nothing really called to me. I settled on going halfies and ordering an app and waiting until I was inside the stadium to get my \""main course.\"" Crab fries, naturally. But that's beside the point.\n\nThe pieorgies we ordered were okay. They were doused in Parmesan cheese and a little overcooked, but it wasn't the worst thing I've ever had. Wasn't the best either. I think what really turned me off was the whole experience. Service, small selection and mediocre food. I should have just ordered two buckets of crab fries and called it a night! | 01
|
Here before Bucs VICTORY OVER THE CARDS in game 3 of the NLDS, a Sunday. Game at 4:30, got here at 2:30. Packed both inside and out. Can't comment on any other time but this really hectic one. \n\nOrdered Pepsi and brisket nachos. AWFUL. Soggy chips, some shredded beef drenched in sweet generic BBQ sauce, a blanket of cold congealed cheese spotted with jalape\u00f1o slices. Not a degree above room temp. \n\nWill give them 1 star for tasty Pepsi and keeping it filled. | 01
|
Came in late night during Light the Night, just for for drinks and a snack. Service was fast, but the salad and cup of soup were disappointing. The chopped salad had weird cheap ingredients like celery and carrot. I was excited about the crab bisque, but they must have been running low and it must have been half sherry because it tasted like I was taking a shot of cheap white wine with every bite. Hope the dinner fare is better. | 01
|
ok, i don't want to judge all atria's by this one. in fact, i wouldn't even judge this atria's solely by this one experience. but let me tell you, i was highly disappointed.\ni will point out the good parts of the night first. we arrived to see a band play. the entertainment was great, didn't cost extra (although there was a $20 minimum per person), and i liked the set up in the room where they played. also, the soup i got (crab bisque) was delicious!\nok, now, for the rest of the experience. first of all, our service was AWFUL. i don't know our server's name, and i know some of the wait wasn't his fault, as there was a large party upstairs. but it took at least ten minutes to even order our drinks, another 15 before we even got them. ten more minutes before we could order our food, and after the meal, we must have waited at least 15 if not 20 minutes for our check before one of the members in our party finally had to go up to our waiter and complain. i saw him checking on other tables, and it didn't seem like he had many tables to keep him so busy. as a server, myself, i always give my servers the benefit of the doubt, but it really got to be too much. the one thing i will say for him though, was that he was very nice. but for how much we waited, we should have had something comped or at least got some sort of apology BEFORE we had to complain.\nthe rest of the food and drinks were okay. good, but not enough to make up for the service. i had the berry mojito to drink and the greek salad to eat.\ni'd try another atria's before i'd go back to this one. but now i'm weary of the restaurant all together. | 01
|
I came here just before a Pirates game so it was extremely busy. As a result I sat at the bar. I ordered the Pacific Salmon salad and it was absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. The price seemed reasonable. My only issues were that there were some left over plates of food nearby that were waiting to be taken away that sort of detracted from the experience. Also, my plate did not seem 100% clean although it really wasn't a big issue. Given how busy they were I do understand and still give high marks for the tasty food and excellent service. | 12
|
I came here on the Fourth of July after getting off of work. My friend and I stopped for one drink before the fireworks. Let's just say I will never return. I stood there for a good 15 minutes with maybe 5 people tops at the bar. The bartenders never once acknowledged me yet they did manage to make eye contact. They then all walked out from behind the bar and went outside. It took another ten minutes until finally the manager came over and served me. I am a bartender and I am appalled to see such people being employed at what seems like a decent place. I am a phenomenal tipper being that I am in the industry and sadly I didn't leave a single dollar. Hopefully they can learn from their mistakes instead of probably losing more potential customers. What a shame. | 01

After eating lunch several days a week at Atrias PNC Park restaurant for many years, I have finally decided that the price has just lost any relation to portions/quality and will not be dining there anytime in the near future.\n\nGradually, over the past year, the prices have continued to increase to the point of being dinner menu prices for lunch size meals. Recently, the portion size has significantly diminished, to the point of being almost comical today.\n\nThe fish \""special\"" today was BBQ salmon with asparagus. It consisted of about 3oz of salmon and four spears of asparagus. It actually looked ridiculous on the plate. The specials used to have 5-6 oz of fish, included a decent portion of vegetables, and rice, all for a dollar or two less. While a bit more than I wanted to spend for lunch, at least the quality and size of portion made some sense. Today, I spent $15 plus tax and tip and left feeling like I had eaten an appetizer and still hungry.\n\nThey have pushed it too far, I am no longer willing to waste my money at Atria's. Too bad, we used to really enjoy lunch there. | 01
|
I was meeting up with 3 other people there. But I was a few minutes late. Because I wasn't there at the time, they refused to seat the others. Not even to just get drinks or an appetizer ordered. So they left to go to some place that would serve them (Dominic's) This place clearly couldn't be bothered to have our business, which seems like an odd way to run an organization. One star because we didn't get anything that we wanted. | 01
|
When you walk into a buzzing restaurant, you'd expect to be greeted by someone, be that a server, a greeter or the bartender. I went in last night, stood around for almost 10 minutes, and was completely ignored. I was meeting a few friends, so I decided to walk across the street and grab a beer and make a reservation (using open table) for 45 minutes later. Reservation confirmed, and beer finished, I walk back over, walk in to the place and someone's at the computer in the entryway on the phone. He finishes, we make eye contact, he nods and walks away. My friends come in, we wait 10 minutes for someone who works there to talk to us. I tell her we have reservations, she acts like it can't happen, and that it's my mistake, she says that the place is closed for a private party. I ask why there isn't a sign on the door saying 'closed for private party', and I get a ridiculous answer that the \""CEO doesn't like us to do that\"". How dumb is that: you leave your system open to make reservations and you don't alert people that might be going to a show on the north shore that the place is closed. The fake sincerity is what really got me. You know what a 'private party' sign does? It advertises that you are available for private parties, and would have given me an hour to figure out other arrangements. | 01
|
I was here on a business dinner and it firmly seated itself as the absolute WORST place I've ever eaten at. \n-hair in the food\n-crab cakes were touted as amazing, in reality disgusting ice cream scoops of poor crab and mayonnaise \n-\""risotto\"" uncooked and congealed to plate. \n-vegetables gummy and soaked in oil. Not properly prepped and served with woody stems. \n\nI was shocked this place turns a profit | 01
|
Absolutely the best!!! \n\nNot from Pittsburgh. Was there on vacation with my kids. They absolutely LOVED IT. Even my youngest, who is hard to entertain, left the place praising it. If you have kids and are in Pittsburgh, this is a great place to take them. We have been to other city's children's museums and this is one of the best.\n\nThere are tons of stuff for them to do. There is also a nice variety. Something for everyone. Even my wife and I were entertained. The price of admission was well worth it considering movies are about $10 for only 1-2 hours. We were there for at least 5 hrs and it didn't even feel like it. The best was there were activities that left you with free \""souvenirs\"". We left with various art creations that the kids made that were really cool. | 12
|
Oh my God. They're playing the chicken dance song on their website! Bahaha!\n\nSo what is so great about this place? Mister Rogers of course! For those not in the know, Fred Rogers was from Pittsburgh, so of course there will be a great display of his world somewhere in the city. And here it is. \n\nBeyond that there are always cool displays up in the rest of the museem. Bottom line: Great for adults and kids alike, another of the must see Pittsburgh sites. | 12
|
really great place to bring kids. brought my 2 year old here on vacation and she had a blast. Her favorite parts were the painting room and the water room. a must visit if you have kids. | 12
|
I wish we'd had more time here - this place was a blast. I speak from experience when I say you can keep an almost-two year old happy for AS LONG AS YOU WANT here. There is even a little cafe so you don't have to leave if you get hungry. I also witnessed a birthday party at which the kids were encouraged to yell and scream and be happy.\n\nSome of the exhibits could have used a little bit of maintenence. The coolest thing we did was play in the water area, but a couple of the features were broken and the (young) museum employees didn't know how they were supposed to work.\n\nWe found street parking, but you can park on site for $5. | 12
|
Awesome. Nuff sed | 12
|
Can't get an order right! 6 of the last 8 times we ordered they have messed it up. I know, each time I forgive them and think they can't possibly mess up again, but they do. Not only that, but they quote 45 minutes then take anywhere from 1-2 hours to deliver. Wont be ordering from here again! | 01
|
Stumbled on this place on a Sunday afternoon when looking for Yelp recommended Bistro-to-go across the street was closed.\n\nLittle leery - but very pleasantly surprised! Nice tables and chairs, pleasant service and it was fairly fast. Woman recommended a large basket of fries to share and they were great! The Reuben sandwiches were really good! Two of those, a Gyro, basket of fries and drinks...a $20 bill! \n\nAbout the only thing odd was the tiling around their deli case. No biggie. \n\nWe'll go back, I want to try the Pizza. It was really good food and the prices were great!\n\nOh yeah, the Pickles were excellent and HUGE! | 12
|
Pickles looks like a dive. The bathroom is a disgrace to mankind. The clientele...or should I say the non-client, just sitting there bothering paying customers, are a little off putting. \n\nBUT, the food is awesome... I would not want to look too closely into the kitchen... but the food is awesome! | 12
|
I lived off of pickles in college! The only downfall was their delivery time. It always took almost an hour and a half to receive my food, 10 minutes down the road. \n\nI moved, still in delivery distance, and had a terrible experience.\nI called my order in and had a total of 11 and some change. I told them I'd be laying cash. When the delivery guy arrived he couldn't stop complaining about walking up my steps and I would have to meet him downstairs next time. When I handed him a 20 he told me, sorry I don't have any change. So he walked off with a 9 dollar tip after being terribly late, rude, and forgot my drink.\n\nGood food, but rude service on the phone and in person. \nI have not been back since. | 01
|
I tried Pickles tonight for the first time. I called ahead to order a gyro calzone and was told 20 minutes. I got there and was told it would be another 10. It was another 20 before I got my food. In a bad frame of mind, I tried my food. I must admit it was good. Not great, but good. I didn't have an issue with the place or the other patrons. I dig that kind of place. But if you tell someone a time, you should be able to deliver. The food itself warrents a higher rating, but the overall experience was a disappointment. | 01
|
Don't do it! \n\nThe ribs are average at best. The sides are just as average as well. The bones are small and barely have any meat on them at all. The greens were decent and the macaroni salad was awful with tons of water in it. \n\nThis place is almost as bad as the now closed Mr Willie's BBQ in Squirrel Hill! I had such high hopes for this place. Oh well. That's what I get for trying to cheat on Showcase BBQ in Homewood. Now those are the best ribs in Pittsburgh and some of the best in the country! \n\nThey don't take debit or credit cards. Cash Only! | 01
|
One of my favorite places for take-out in Pittsburgh. The ribs are cooked Southern style, and just the way I love them. This is extremely satisfying slow cooked wood fire BBQ. You have to get there early in the evening to get the chicken.\n\nThe service is quirky, but I find it charming. The decor is \""down home.\""\n\nThe hot sauce is hotter than you might expect...so I recommend you ask for a mix, or just go for the mild.\n\nLet's just say I every so often get a craving for Wilson's BBQ, and it's always a special treat. | 12
|
Here we go, Steelers, he we go. Pittsburghs goin' to the superbowl!\n\n\n\""Y'ins kicked ass this yir, playin dawn-tawn at the new stadium.\"" \n\nI love you, the best things about Pittsburgh- ever. | 12
|
No equal. Here we go stillers here we go!!! | 12

I am starting to love you guys more and more. I first fell in love in 2005. I did not have a football team growing up and it took me a while to find the right one. As I started to follow your games, I became more excited, more involved. I stuck with you through thick and thin. No jumping off the bandwagon. I look forward to watching you guys play football every Sunday. I go out of my way going to restaurants, bars, etc, just to catch your games if it is not on local tv. I am a hardcore devoted fan that appreciates all the excitement and joy you bring me along with the frustrations and anger. I will be waving my Terrible Towel, loud and proud for you guys. Bring back the Superbowl this year and every year after that! I bleed Black and Gold. Go Steelers! | 12

Been a fan since I was a little kid. I don't know why my dad and I, who couldn't agree on anything, both loved the Steelers. And we were from California.\n\nBut you talk about a team for all seasons and all reasons! It took over 40 years for me to finally get to a game out here. Unfortunately you didn't win, but we love you still the same! Anyone willing to wear their Steelers Gear to a Raider Game, ride BART for over 20 miles to get there and walk back to the train afterwards - is a FAN Dammit!\n\nAnd one day, the five of us are going to get in an RV and drive across the country and go to a game..... right there in Pittsburgh. Look out! | 12
|
On a less serious note, I want to thank all the bitches who keep saying Sixburgh got lucky. I waited six days to post this, one for each Super Bowl the Steelers have won. One for each Super Bowl we've exceeded the Cardinals by. One for each Super Bowl we've won that make the Steelers the best of the best.\n\nSo ya. Thanks, suckas! You're funny. | 12
|
1 star for your cover-2 defense that lost me $100 on the Super Bowl. I thought yall were going to shut down Fitzgerald. You disappointed me. Wouldn't have mattered if that Big Ben TD didn't get called back and turned into a field goal, but damn your cover-2 D that let Fitz run wild on yall.\n\nNational Fixed League on them spread busters. Vegas owns the NFL! Sheiiit!!! | 01

Not crazy about football like I use to be when I was a small fry but as far as football teams goes the Steeler are a SOLID TEAM! And their fans are crazy good crazy. Unless you come up against em and then their crazy bad crazy. So upon moving to Pittsburgh several years back I often hid the fact that I always worshiped the Dallas Cowboys for fear of being ridiculed beaten or both. If you live in Pittsburgh you will learn that it is wise to pay respect to the Steelers or else... | 12

Not much you say about the Steelers that the sports world doesn't already know. The Steelers are the model for what all Professional Football teams strive to be. From the ownership, the players, stadium, to the fan base we have it all. The ONLY downfall of being a Steeler fan is that trying to get tickets is about as difficult as trying to catch a cheetah in the open prairie. \n\nFor those that want to experience what this is like bad can't land tickets to the game I would recommend going 2-3 hours before the game and join in the tailgating festivities. Once the game starts take your friends over to one of the many northside bars to enjoy the game. McFaddens and Bettis's are tops on that list. | 12
|
I'm not crazy about football but it's a nice stadium and fun to come with other people. The games are fun and the fans are great they are very into the game which fans should be. | 12

Whoops - 6 time Super Bowl Champs! | 12
|
As a '70s Raiders fan Jack Lambert's missing teeth caused me much pain as did a certain Immaculate Reception by Franco Harris. As time has passed and having visited the beautiful city of Pitssburgh, I now respect the Steelers organization and more NFL teams should be run this way.\n\nThey have great unis, cool logo only on one side of the helmet, fantastic Heinz Field and a fab base of displaced Pittsburghers all over the nation. | 12
|
Thanks Steelers for a great 2010 season, even though WE came up short in winning our seventh championship, you've made this city proud! We'll do it in 2011 and Super Bowl XLVI in indianapolis! Here we go Steelers, Here we go!! | 12

Benchmark of professional football. Most superbowls in the sport. Have the biggest fan following of all the teams. Picked up steam during its dynasty years in the 1970s. Before then, the Steelers were a terrible team. Right draft picks, right coaching staff changes everything. Today is one of the most feared teams in the NFL. Their play represents the city. Tough, blue collared in which any north east resident can appreciate.\n\nGrade: A | 12

I have been a Steelers fan as long as I can remember. I love the Steelers as a sports team, BUT this week I am very disappointed. Tisk Tisk Steeler higher ups. This does have to do directly with Steelers policy not Heinz Field.\n\n I have a 9 month old daughter and I was so looking forward to taking her to her very first Steeler game! Now, she is a very very good baby and in social situations I have been able to take her everywhere. She loves people and loves to take in new and exciting experiences. The point of this is that she would be well behaved, laughing at a Steelers game, and most likely clapping with rowdy fans not throwing a temper tantrum and disrupting the game for others. I would take her out if she was upset, believe me I get it!\n\nI feel that The Steeler organization is trying to weed out the younger crowd by charging full price for a ticket and a seat that a baby can't even use. Most kid friendly places don't charge for Children 2 and under, that includes Aiirlines in the US, museums, fairs, Zoos, Concert Venues, Pitt games(at Heinz Field) Baseball games(PNC park), and many more less opulent businesses. \n\nAs far as the Steelers are concerned even though your child won't be using a seat they have to buy a full price ticket. I asked about Club level seating and yes especially in the club. Which would be the best place to walk around and entertain a youngster if fussy. If you purchase non club seating then it doesn't matter where your baby sits if you have lower level seats. Getting 3 seats together can be much pricier than a pair and are harder to find. I asked why this was the policy and an unfriendly person told me that \""Steeler Policy states that gate operator is not incumbent to assess a childs age of 2 or under so they do not have the resources available for gate entry for people in line entering the stadium.\""\n\nSorry but considering the Pirates allow free entry under 2 and offer discounted tickets for children under 2 if they want to participate in the activities for children's days. So NOT COOL STEELERS! | 01

Perfect experience for this Steelers fan from Maryland. Had the walk up tour, tour guide knew exactly what she was talking about with a great personality to match. Had a really great time :) | 12

My friend lives near here so I came to satisfy my deli sandwich craving. The inside is super dingy deli/convenience store, so I was excited for a real, down and dirty deli sandwich. They have a lot of weird items in their grocery section which can be kind of fun to look through.\n\nI got an Italian \""hoagie\"" as I feel is the appropriate term for this ultra-Pittsburgh spot. It was bad. Totally skimpy on the meat, and it had American cheese and mayo, which don't go well with Italian meats at all...provolone and oil & vinegar would have made way more sense. The bread was a squishy white bun. I mean, I still ate it, but I didn't really enjoy it. It made me kind of sad. It was just a sad, floppy excuse for a sandwich. At least it was cheap?\n\nMaybe I should have gotten the chipped ham instead, since that's what they are famous for. I also suspect the location in the North Hills has to be at least marginally better...this Isaly's is clearly past its prime. | 01
|
Out of business. | 01
|
It's cathartic to give this sorry organization 1 star.\n\nNote: this is a review of the baseball club, not the stadium in which they play | 01

O my Pittsburgh Pirates. What a storied history you have! But the last time you went to the post season was in 1992, and I remember it well. I worked as a ticket taker at the old Three Rivers Stadium and I have such fond memories of working there. I was 17 when you won your last divisional title and I don't think you've had a winning season in my entire adult life.\n\nDon't get me wrong, my Bucs! I do love you so much. In a way, I have to. See, you're like the boy I knew in grammar school who was such a sweet kid, but he was constantly failing his classes--and he lived in a nice house! \n\nLet's take a look at your records since 2000. I warn you dear Pirates--it won't be pretty. But it's something you have to come to terms with:\n\n2001: 62-100 (last pl)\n2002: 72-89 (4th Pl)\n2003: 75-87 (4th pl)\n2004: 72-89 (5th pl)\n2005: 67-95 (last)\n2006: 67-95 (5th pl)\n2007: 68-94 (last)\n2008: 67-95 (last)\n2009: 62-99 (last)\n2010: 56-101 (last)* *As of 09-29-2010\n\nSo that's six seasons in last place, two 100 loss seasons, and this season has been the worst so far.\n\nYes, I'll still go to your games next season. I'll still go with my husband, my co-workers, and my Girl Posse. My dad and I will still have our father-daughter nights out here. But like the parents of that sweet little boy in grammar school with the failing grades, you're really trying my patience. And don't forget, the Washington Wild Things have been wooing me for the longest! | 01
|
We're over .500 so far this year! Whoo-hoo! We're actually mediocre! And for once the Cubs are keeping us out of last place instead of the other way around! | 12
|
I love the buccos, win or lose. Going to the games are always a good time, and when they are on TV at the bar, I always find myself happy to enjoy my meal and watch the game. Gotta love them battling bucs. Please just let me see one round of Playoffs in Pittsburgh before I die.. | 12

Ugh! Another losing season. WTF man, weren't we in first place at the All-Star Break? What happened? I wasn't expecting a World Series Champ or even a Pennant winner. But was a winning season too much to ask for? This marks the 20th anniversary since the Pirates' last winning season. That's right folks--it's been since 1992. Let's take a look at the world of 1992.\n\nBASEBALL: The Pirates' roster that year included Stan Belinda, Doug Drabek, Zane Smith, Denny Neagle, Jay Bell, Orlando Merced, Andy Van Slyke, and of course Barry Bonds. All have since retired. The only new ballparks were New Comiskey Park (now U.S. Cellular Field) and Camden Yards. No stadiums had corporate names. The Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies, the Miami Marlins, and the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays didn't exist. The Washington Nationals were the Montreal Expos. The Milwaukee Brewers were in the AL. Both the NL and the AL only had two divisions each. The minor league Washington Wild Things didn't exist either and nor did their league. KBL was the big cable sports channel.\n\nTV: \""Saturday NIght Live's\"" cast included Dana Carvey, Ellen Cleghorne, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Mike Myers, Kevin Nealon, Phil Hartman, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and David Spade. \""Seinfeld\"" hadn't become a huge hit yet and no one knew Kramer's first name. Monday nights on NBC included \""Murphy Brown\"", \""Evening Shade\"" and \"" Northern Exposure\"".\n\nMOVIES: The top movies included \""Lethal Weapon 3\"", \""Basic Instinct\"", \""Hone Alone 2\"", \""The Bodyguard\"" and \""Aladdin\"". When you wanted to watch movies at home, you had to rent them from the video store and you watched them on VHS tapes or laserdiscs. \n\nMUSIC: Bruce Springsteen released \""Lucky Town\"" and \""Human Touch\"" on the same day. R.E.M. had \""Automatic for the People\"". Gin Blossoms released their first album \""New Miserable Experience\"", which stayed on the charts for almost two years. Bare Naked Ladies \""Gordon\"" featured the cult classic \""If I Had a Million Dollars.\"" You either listened to albums on cassette or CD and you bought them at record stores like National Record Mart. Doug Hopkins (Gin Blossoms), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Shannon Hoon (Bline Melon) and Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) were all alive.\n\nTECHNOLOGY: Few people had internet access. You also used pay phones because you didn't have a cell phone. You watched movies on a VCR. You met up with your friends without texting them. You ordered merchandise by \""sending in\"" or by calling an \""800\"" number. You had to buy tickets by waiting in line. \n\nAnd OJ Simpson was still a football hero.\n\nSo that's it, Pittsburgh Pirates. I feel like telling you I'm done with you guys. I'm no fair weather fan, but 20+ years of losing is enough. | 01

I've lived in Pittsburgh for 20 years and JUST discovered St. Anthony's Chapel. A friend of mine was visiting from NYC and, though not at all religious, he's an antiques and history freak. He discovered SAC and urged us to take him there.\n\nThis is home to the largest collection of relics open to the public in the world and to a life-sized version of statuary of the Stations of the Cross. The experience is breathtaking. The tour guides -- free tours Sat through Thu at 1, 2, and 3pm -- are extremely knowledgeable and open to any and all questions.\n\nWe were just blown away by the rich history and beauty of the place plunked down in the middle of a rather ordinary corner of the North Side.\n\nIf you have guests in town looking for something out of the ordinary or if you've never been, it's well worth the schlep. | 12
|
I was raised Catholic (but no longer practice), and have always been fascinated by relics and the stories of saints--so I was really looking forward to our tour of St Anthony's. BEWARE: I can't speak for their other guides, but the gentleman (a lay person, not a priest) who \""led\"" ours was far more interested in haranguing the crowd on the nature of TRUE believers, the infallibility of the Catholic faith, and whether we'd all found our \""charisms\"" - the gifts we needed to be using if we were going to be saints, too--than showing us any relics. After an hour of his sermon--and nary a single fact about the hundreds of relics that surrounded us--we left. What a disappointment. What a huckster. | 01

Jason, you are right on the money! Scaife is part of the ultra-right-wing bunch. I certainly don't bemoan an individual's right to his/her politics (I'll admit I'm a little left-of-center), but this Scaife guy makes Rupert Murdoch look like Al Gore. And your tabloid comments are oh, so true.\n\nI do give it two stars because its......oh, wait a minute.... can't think of a reason for two stars. So I'll just give it one! | 01
|
I wouldn't pay attention to the Trib's news coverage, since it's mostly far-right propaganda. Two stars for their decent sports coverage - Mike Prisuta and Joe Starkey are worth reading. | 01
|
Much better than Pravda, er the Gazette. | 12
|
This conservative POS rag makes faux news look like NPR. You got Scaife, himself pumping ten million a year from his own pocket to keep the paper up and running. No one reads it, the Post Gazette is the REAL newspaper in this city. | 01

So, this is what happened.\n\nI went their complaining about a possible over heating and requesting a change of oil. This was my first visit there. They topped off my coolant for free and changed my oil. I had a check engine light on for which I knew the code and was holding off on repairing it. \n\nThey charged me $20 for reading the check engine light code and turning it off. I didn't want that. I pointed this out on the bill and he said that, its fine, I can just pay for the oil change (~$42). He asked me if I had $42 cash on me. If I did, I could have paid and left a happy customer. But I didn't, so I gave him my card and he went in the back and swiped it for the full price ($42 + $20 + tax). When I was signing the transaction receipt, I told him that he swiped for the full price. This apparently pissed him off a lot, he very rudely handed $20 from his pocket and asked me to \""Get out of there\"" - and walked out. I tried to talk to him and explain my reason of asking - it not being the matter of $20 but of the principle that he said he wasn't going to charge me for what I didn't want. But he wouldn't listen, was very rude and said \""You're Done\"" and \""Get out\"" more times. I left. \n\nI ain't going back where they treat customers like that. | 01
|
I'm not a car girl and Lester couldn't have been more accommodating. I needed an inspection and he was able to take me the same day I called. He's open past 7pm so the evening hours make it convenient to pick up or drop off. \n\nVery honest and upfront about the work he did, too...typical Pittsburgher who knows his stuff. Labor was $70/hour and parts were cheaper than other places. Cost me $3 to have a break light replaced. Couldn't have been happier with the quick, honest, convenient service. Lester's the best! | 12
|
Although I've never had any of their other menu items except their gyro, I wish I would have gone elsewhere. Since I can only comment on their gyro; here goes... First, the meat is embroiled with fatty particles (it's fake meat or something), second; they don't include enough dressing, third; there are way, way too many onions, forth; there were only two very small slices of tomatoe, fifth; the feta cheese is not crumbled but in a patty, sixth; they just pile the stuff on top of a pita, - to be quite honest, it just tastes bad. | 01
|
Nick's used to be good with the previous owner, that all changed. Which is pretty sad. | 01
|
Nick's has legit New York Style pizza. It's dirt cheap too! | 12
|
This place is fantastic! Very reasonably priced, they do a wonderful job with my German Shepherd. Nails, ears, bath, and grooming- she looks like a new woman when they're done with her! | 12
|
\""grossest hostess\""\nOkay, so you know when you go into place and it's close to closing time? You aren't sure whether the staff will be cordial and inviting or straight up rude. Well my wife and I went into Millers at 9:15 pm for dinner. The hostess was incredibly rude directly off of the bat. she said \""ughhhh you know it's close to closing time, right\""? my wife said, \""what time do you close\""? The older, short blond curly haired hostess with glasses said \""we close at ten\"". TEN??? TEN???? They weren't closing for 45 minutes!!!! This was the second time she did this to us and it will be the last because they have lost our business for good. We even heard a phone ring at quarter to ten and she didn't even answer the phone, she just picked it up and snarled \""closed\"" and hung up on the person! Our server however, was spot on and the food was decent but the hostess or manager or whatever she was left the worst taste in our moths and spoiled Millers Seafood forever. If you go to Miller's Seafood and you see her at the front, turn and run! | 01
|
I have eaten here twice. Both times I thought the food was sub-par. The first time was a birthday lunch that was lousy, but I was feeling under the weather, so I gave it another try about a year later for dinner. It was just as lousy as the lunch. My wife definitely agreed, and although we can walk there in 15 minutes, we will never eat there again. | 01
|
After seeing a Google Offer for Miller's, my Mom mentioned how she had been there before and remembered good food and fond memories from her childhood. So I offered to go with her and see if the food was still as good. \n\nOnce we were seated and greeted by our waitress, we presented the paperwork for our Google Offer. The waitress handed it to the hostess. I guess they have to call for us to redeem it/verify that it's legit. Well apparently one of the numbers was missing off the print-out and the hostess could not have been more rude about it. In the end she talked to someone and figured it out, but she made it seem like we did something wrong. Or, she could have told us there was a problem but then politely taken care of it since it is her job and there wasn't much else going on for her to do. Or she could have talked to someone in the first place and quietly resolved the matter without us even knowing there was a problem to begin with. I later noticed signs up all over the place about restrictions with restaurant.com offers - I guess they have several patrons who use those regularly. Apparently with this kind of reception, no one wants to pay full price.\n\nMom and I both ordered the fish sandwich with mac n cheese. The mac n cheese was creamy and the fish sandwich was a large portion and very tasty. I ended up having to eat mine with a knife and fork, not even attempting to lift and eat it as a sandwich. We left with full and happy tummies.\n\nTo comment on previous reviews....yes, this is not the cleanest place. But I expected that and find it part of the charm. The smoke from the bar is no longer an issue as a closed door separates the bar area from the dining room.\n\nOverall, it was a larger than average portion for a good fish sandwich. I'd like to give it 3 stars at least, but the whole attitude from the hostess still left a bad taste in my mouth that the mac n cheese couldn't wash away. | 01
|
I've been there twice, and they have yet to impress me. The decor is old and dingy at best, the seats are gross, and the carpet looks to be 30 years old and identified to my grandma's. My biggest issue was the food. I just assumed that a sea food restaurant would serve fresh fish, but I was sadly mistaken. Every meal I, or friends, have had here was poorly prepared, greasy, and clearly had been frozen for an extended period of time.\nThe only plus side of the place was that it was dirt cheap, but be prepared to get what you pay for. | 01
|
I don't really mind dive places because there are times that they have really good food. The place is dated and could use updating.\n\nThe waitress was good. I think she knew we weren't all that pleased with our food even though we told her it was good.\n\nThe food....my daughter-in-law had the shrimp scampi. We are pros at making our own at home, but when it was served, I told her that there are variations to it. Her first bite she made a sour face. My son and I then tasted it...understood the face after that. Way too much lemon juice in it, soaked in oil and not quite sure what the seasoning was, but seemed like pesto. The pasta was overcooked and the shrimp just sort of were there. \n\nMy son and I had the fried seafood platter. Aside from overcooked breading and soaked in grease, the oysters were raw, and the battered fish had no flavor. The breaded shrimp tasted weird too. Needless to say, none of us finished our food. Underneath the food, the plate had a puddle of grease. \n\nOn the upside, the coleslaw, bread, and crab cake was good. The make and cheese was edible, but seemed to comparable to Stauffer's.\n\nThis was our first, and more than likely, our last, visit. For a $65 dollar meal, it wasn't worth $10. . | 01
|
I worked at millers back in the nineties. The fish was fresh every day from wholeys, the bread was fresh everyday from mancini's, and the perogies were made by little old babushka women at St. George's down the street. \nIt was a great place to eat. People cared about the food and it showed. I can only attribute it's decline to a change in ownership. \nI stopped in to satisfy a craving for fish and was very disappointed by the grease pile I got instead. \nI used to be proud to cook there. Now I wouldn't put it on a resume for fear that people have experienced it lately. | 01
|
been ordering chubbys for over ten years. solid pizza at a great price. one time, steve offered to deliver a pizza over an hour after they closed on xmas eve just because. doesnt get any better than that. | 12
|
Ordered a lg pizza for pick up, 30-40 min wait. Went to pick up my pizza and I arrived to have no pizza at all. They told a driver must have taken by accident. The skinny, is it took an hour for a new pizza, and they offered me nothing | 01
|
Terrible. I lived about 2 blocks away - and with no other options - I still can't bring myself to order from here. Ordered twice in the last 90 days and both times it was terrible. Ended up waiting over an hour each time. First time I got home to find a totally different order; the send time waited over 1.5 hrs for a pizza. Both were crappy, at best. Staff was really rude both times. | 01
|
We just moved in a couple blocks away and thought we'd try them out. Their prices are great but, seriously, worst customer service I've ever seen. I walked in and the guy had to finish his cell phone game before helping me. I get home and realize we were given the wrong pizza. When I called to see if they had our correct one the guy tells me that's what we ordered. I assured him we didn't, I was there when my girlfriend called the order in. He just said \""sorry man\"" and didn't offer any solutions. So we just picked off the garbage toppings that we didn't order and threw most of it away. It would've taken very little effort to fix it for us. All this after it took them an hour to make the thing. I'd go back if I were desperate but it's seriously amateur hour. | 01
|
Too much cheese on their pizzas, and the customer service is incredibly poor. This is nothing new, we have been in Brighton Heights for many years. My husband LOVES their buffalo chicken pizza, but after his last experience waiting over an hour for pick up, we would only order from Chubby's if every other local pizza joint was closed. | 01

Even though I lived out in Bloomfield, I chose to drive out to this vet because I'd heard good reviews about Dr. Dorn's handling of rats and other small exotic breeds. I had two rats and Dr. Dorn was excellent with both. He was the best vet I could have hoped for. \n\nWith rats, it's sometimes hard to find (even highly experienced) vets who understand that a rat has a personality and bonds with its owner to the same degree as a dog--many people act like pet rats are just large gerbils. Dr. Dorn understood, and never made me feel silly about being anxious about them. He calmed my pets down and they loved him immediately, even falling asleep during the exam. He never tried to up-sell, and when one rat had an operable tumor (a $200 surgery) he didn't make me feel guilty for choosing euthanasia instead (he was a very old rat). When the time came, the entire staff was incredibly patient with me, and let me spend as much time as I needed in the private exam room with my rat. Afterwards, they even sent me a condolence card. \n\nThe vet techs were all professional and cheerful. The small office seemed like a friendly, casual environment. Exams for a rat were around $60 with medicine and so forth... I can't remember the specific prices, but they seemed reasonable. They were always able to see me on the same day I called. If I hadn't moved out of town, I would certainly still be making the lengthy drive from Bloomfield to get here--it was worth it. | 12
|
My dog means the world to me and I couldn't imagine anyone better to handle her care than Dr. Dorn. I grew up raising puppies as a family hobby and became very attached to quality care from a vet in my hometown. My standards for a vet are high and I was more than pleasantly surprised by WLAH. \n\nMy first experience with Dr. Dorn was no more than 2 weeks after my adoption of my dog. I was pretty certain that she had UTI and it was confirmed. He was such a nice doctor and all of his staff was understandable and sweet. It also felt like a family environment and the office building is adorable. I didn't feel like I was taking my dog to some overly commercial MedVet (the worst place you can go) or chain. The whole appointment, plus medicine, plus taking out her stitches (for free) was $45. I was in shock! It was very reasonable.\n\nNo matter where you live in the city, I highly recommend Dr. Dorn! | 12

We had food delivered to our house last night from Knossos. I tried their pierogi which I found to be quite good. Also tasty are their broccoli bites and their huge ice cream sandwiches (homemade). Very recommended! | 12
|
This place has THE WORST customer relations I've experienced in Pittsburgh since I moved here two months ago. My boyfriend was about to order a gyro, I was waiting for him at the table outside near the street with a drink and hotdog I had gotten elsewhere, there was absolutely no one else in their establishment. The person behind the counter then told my boyfriend that I was not welcome to sit at their outdoor seating area with him while he enjoyed his gyro. He canceled his order and we sat at the friendly place next door. Not only did Knossos lose my boyfriend's business that day, but they also lost both of us as future customers. What a petty and pathetic place. | 01
|
Honestly, it's pretty unassuming from the outside. Inside it's a tiny greek diner, albeit some \""Americanized\"" choices on the menu. Hello buffalo chicken gyro!\n\nBut if you are craving for a fixin' of some stuffed cabbage, potato pierogies, or halushki, this is your place. And for dirt cheap too. I think our total bill was like $10. \n\nObviously you'll get the traditional gyro's here as well, with the twist of the buffalo chicken one. Obviously, I'm intrigued. They also sell ice cream, which if I wasn't so full from my meal, I definitely would have indulged in! | 12
|
Very disappointed. Delivery was late, our gyros were cold and fries were soggy. I wont be ordering from here again. | 01
|
Awful poor excuse for a gyro. Food is always soggy. Meat is pure horsec*ck. Very unfriendly staff, but what do you expect from Greek f@ggots. Will never order from here again, total trash. | 01
|
Called on a Tuesday to inquire about replacement sheet of glass for my TEC grill. The gentleman who answered the phone said it would cost $149, take about 3 weeks, and he wanted 50% down to place the order. Then I called TEC directly. TEC said it would be $70 and I'd get it by the end of the week. It arrived today, Friday. Talk about price gouging! | 01
|
Love this place. I used to live within walking distance and that was a treat! Karaoke is a great time. The drinks are great and inexpensive and there are always great people to meet there.\n\nI miss the pickles. ;) | 12
|
This place is terrible and the management has acted like an entitled prick every time I was there lol... Id rather get shot at R Bar | 01
|
What a hidden gem in the South Hills. This fun Little store carters to a wide range a spiritual curiosities. You can explore your psychic side with a modest selection of power crystals, tarot cards and scents. I found the selection of books to be helpful and spanned a wide range of interest. | 12
|
Great shop in Dormont - very large with lots of variety. Seems to cater to all different walks. The shopkeepers are always very friendly and helpful. They have a great collection of candles, beads, and herbs. My only complaint, ironically, are their stones. The jewelry is nice (and arguably the largest collection in the city for this type of store), but the tumbled stones are buried deep in the back of the store in such gloom you can barely make them out. They also look like they were tumbled by a lawnmower. It's such a shame. I wish they would bring the tumbled rocks out into the sunlight and stock up with some fresh stones. Other than that though, they're doing a great job and we enjoy visiting often. | 12

I have to say, as far \""new age bookstores\"" go, this one is the most impressive shop I have had the privilege to visit thus far. Moonstones is deceptively small looking from the outside, but on the inside there are as many things to see as there are spiritual paths. \n\nAfter years of searching, I found a pendulum! I was so surprised to find the unassuming tiny metal acorn literally jump at me! I had assumed that what I needed would be an ornate crystal pendulum, but \""great things come in small packages\"". After I took it home it took no time to get acquainted with it. \n\nThe store contains many crystals, gems, jewelry, oils, and even jars of dried herbs. There were around 60 different bumper stickers to chooses from. And hard to find matchstick incense. It is exactly what you think, a match you strike that burns as incense. Speaking of which, I was disappointed to not find any \""pick your own\"" incense sticks. My supply is quite depleted, and I need more. I did but a very dainty scarf from the selection of hats and clothing on the top most floor of the labyrinth. \n\nI hope to attend one of the interesting classes that I have seen mentioned. It does appear that the list needs to be updated. \n\nI also LOVE how the shopkeepers don't keep a hawk's eyes on you. Instead they allow you to spend your time browsing the merchandise alone. After all, it is difficult to hear a small voice when an item is calling out to you if you are anxious from unwelcome stares. | 12

Moonstones is an excellent shop. I am from out of town but was able to order a gift basket of incense, stones and oils over the phone and have it delivered to a sick relative nearby. Tell them what/who you need it for (e.g. a sick friend) and they will personally construct the gift basket and deliver it if not too far away Worked perfectly for me and--again--they are very nice. Ask for Amy. | 12

you can't beat a fairly centrally-located grocery store that is open 24-7 BUTTT the smell in there is ughhh. Years and years of spilled food / blood from the meat department and etc. You get the picture . The high-point is perhaps the hot foods that you can get over in the deli.-area. Some really good \""soul-food\"" . Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese and etc... I will go out of my way for that stuff, sometimes ... | 01
