“Delicious ice cream with fast service. We love to visit when we're in town. They also have later hours than a competitor we used to visit, which is very convenient for late snackers. 2 qts made it back to NY in our cooler. Definitely recommend!“

“Churchills is amazing! The food is great and the staff is exceptional! I needed a last minute place for an event and Drew and his team really pulled through for me and allowed us to have an amazing, stress free party. Their customer service is off the charts!“

“For my family's first time here, we were super impressed by how clean, friendly, and good the food was. The service was great, and we had a wonderful time. It is laid out perfect inside, and is the perfect place to go to with friends, family, or your kids. We started with appetizers of the zucchini, poutine fries, and pretzel. For dinners, we tried the burger, steak salad, chicken tender basket, and the steak pita. We all loved everything we had, and couldn't find one negative about anything. We can't wait to go back again, and try something else!“

“Can I give this place 500000 Stars!?! One of my ultimate favorites in my travels! Mariah is so amazing! She knows what I need from food to drinks without even telling her! That alone should be a great experience, but watching her interact with her customers lifts your day to so many other levels! By far my fave staff member! But.... also.... The management team, hostesses and hosts, servers, kitchen staff, and all of the crew really make you feel like you walked into a place that you frequent in your home town! Definitely a must visit here!“

“Ive been a regular at the first Filling Station and 9W Market since Stavros and his beautiful wife first opened. They were busy from day 1 and even in the winter months it was a go to spot for great food and friendly service. I have since moved away but still tell all my NJ friends about the Market and Filling Station. I always got a hug and felt appreciated. They cared and had a wonderful manager in Charlie. I hope they don't franchise or license. Owners who care hire staff that cares.“

“best fish sandwiches around. homemade hot sauce is a MUST! Absolutely love the haluski, macaroni and cheese, and potato pancakes. You get so much food for a great price. Staff are always very friendly and caring, Keith is a great guy as well. must try his food! I recommend the fish to everyone!“

“My wife and I have dined there a few times now and couldn't be happier with the food, service, and overall experience. We recently had a server named Grant and I have to say he was exceptionally good. He is what a great server is made of. I HIGHLY recommend Rodney's Restaurant to anyone looking for everything you want in a family style restaurant.“

“We have been wanting to come here for a while and we finally made it tonight . We were not disappointed when we sat at the bar and Ron the Bartender took care of us . Ron was fabulous from start to finish . He made us feel very welcome for first time customers . The food was Amazing and prepared to perfection . We will definitely be back .If I could give 10 stars I sure would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Cracker Barrel is our go to spot when traveling. We are grateful for their generosity in allowing RVs to stay the night. We always enjoy a good old fashion dinner or breakfast and love browsing the store. Always get compliments on things I’ve bought there.Parking: Great parking for RvWheelchair accessibility: Nice wide tables for my husbands wheelchair.Large restroom facility.“

“Service and food were awsome...we were seated near entrance but im sure if we were away from people coming and going would have rated atmosphere higher. 1st time there but i will be back. Owner or manager checked on us and said goodbye to us when we left. Could tell he cared. “

“We love going here! Great food, great people, awesome little place!Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is in the rear that leads to a rear entrance with a staircase. Front onstreet parking (VERY LIMITED) leads to the front door easily accessible for wheelchairs or walkers.“

“Our water was fantastic...he was patient with our questions and explained meals, tastes to newcomers that were with us.Everyone was pleased with their meals. My salmon was cooked perfectly. We will all be back soon.Dietary restrictions: I have alot of allergies and substitutions have been made when possible“

“After a long bike ride on the Boston Trail we were looking for somewhere local to pop in for lunch. We just found this restaurant on Google and couldn’t be happier we gave it a shot. The waitress was absolutely fantastic and the food was delicious! The place is super clean and looks recently updated. We will for sure be back! Thanks!“

“Big portions, home cooked food. We go once every few months and I've never had a meal I didn't like. The French onion soup and the pecan balls are my favorites. Their pizza crust is probably the only thing I avoid; it's not bad, but it's not good.“

“We ordered during lent to try the fish, and holy cow was it delish! The fries were hot and crispy and the fish was light and crunchy, and perfectly cooked! My husband got a burger and thought it was very good! We got the kids pizza for my little one and he gobbled it right down. Definitely gonna be back in the future.“

“Been here twice so far, both times in their new location. The first time we got two different pizzas for take out and took them down to the park a few minutes away and ate them for lunch. I can't remember exactly which ones they were, but they were pretty good. I think one was a margarita style and that one was good. The other one I think had pepperoni or salami on it and it was not my favorite, the meat was very strong, it tasted a little aged or maybe even old. I will avoid anything with that on it from now on. The second time I ate here was eat-in. I wasn't feeling adventurous so I just got the 50/50 burger, the meat was 50% beef and 50% pork and wow was that a satisfying burger. The toppings were super basic, not even any tomato, I think it was just cheese and lettuce, but the flavor of the patty made up for the lack of toppings. It was very flavorful and had a great texture. I will definitely get that again. We also got the buffalo cauliflower for an appetizer and they were really good. I'm not one of those people who thinks that buffalo cauliflower is somehow comparable with actual Buffalo wings, but good Buffalo cauliflower is its own thing and it's delicious, so I would get that again as well. I also appreciated that the bathroom was spotless, I think there's a lot to be said about the attention to detail that a restaurant staff has if their bathrooms are clean and attended to. It's a small dining room so I'm sure on a busy night there will be a wait, even though it's a little out of the way of the main road, but it's worth the drive and the wait. I will definitely be back.“

“Good food and kind staff. Eat here once a week and never get tired of there food.Parking: There is a huge parking lot along with plenty of street parking all around icebergs, but you do have to pay for it during weekdays until 5:00 after 5:00 it is free and it is also free on weekends before and after 5:00.Kid-friendliness: There are arcade machines for kids to play along with plenty of kid-friendly drink and food options.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get to the front door. And, it is all one story.“

“I recommend having Ketter's cater your special event, their food is outstanding, the food was very delicious and hot when served and we had several people comment on how delicious the food tasted at our wedding reception this past Saturday. we will use them again in the future for sure...“

“We have dined in and also ordered takeout and have loved everything we have had! Great selection of food and the portions are huge. We also feel comfortable bringing our 6 year old there which is great bc we don't feel that way at other establishments always. We cannot wait to go back!“

“Stopped in while biking the GAP and had the perfect breakfast to keep me fueled for the rest of my ride. Waitresses were very kind and attentive. Can't wait to go back on my next ride!Parking: Nice outdoor seating next to the building where you can take to-go orders.“

“Amazing food, friendly service, and prices can't be beat. Extremely hard to come by places like this that make you feel respected rather than just another dollar sign. The atmosphere inside is also wonderful as they pay respect/tribute and preserve the history of Mount Pleasant.“

“The lunch lady recently catered the wake for my brother. She was very reasonably priced, with a wide selection of foods which everyone enjoyed. I can’t say how much I appreciated the ease of the arrangements at such a difficult time. I highly recommend their food and services.“

“Just left Applebee's on Magill (sp?) road. What fantastic service ?. Our server's name is Farrah (again, spelling may not be accurate), and she was incredible. I worked in the service industry for 20+ years while managing and training employees, and I have never seen someone bust their @!$ like I did back then. I never write employee-directed reviews, but Farrah deserves a raise if she hasn't gotten one already!“

“Great beers, ciders, and even mead! We got the food truck and wandered in. The bartender Travis was very welcoming, he suggested things based on what I told him about my taste. It's very clean, professional establishment. We will definitely be back. They even have a nice mural of west Newton on the wall!“

“This was a very last-minute option, but I have no regrets whatsoever. Searching for some late night eats, this establishment was open. Plenty of parking, a good amount of seating, and friendly staff here to serve you. I was skeptical on the food, but our server mentioned a special on a pizza, which we jumped at. There was even a special on a sandwich which was very good and not overwhelming. I just had to get their chips and homemade French onion dip. I’m not much of a potato chip person, but here, they had me. Consistency was great, not crazy salty, and perfect dip. Seriously, I could eat those bad boys all day. It’s one of the places where you aren’t expecting much but they hit you in the sweet spot. I didn’t realize how hungry I was, and I kept eating. American style bar/ restaurant, homely and filling. I’m sure if you are from around these parts, you have probably heard of or been here before. If you haven’t yet, just go. Give it a shot. Or two.“

“I stopped at Bill’s while in the area for breakfast. I am a picky eater and had to have my sandwich a certain way. It was perfect, one of the best sandwiches I’ve eaten in a long time. This will be a weekly stop when I am in the area. Sitting by the window, watching the traffic and eating a delicious sandwich was some great down time for me.“

“Made a same day reservation for dinner before a show at the Palace Theatre. Arrived at 5.30 and seated in small quaint front dining room that was quickly filling with other theatre goers. The poor waitress was running ragged as apparently 2 members of staff had called off. The lady bar tender also helped out where she could. Ordered pork sliders and the crab cakes both were excellent, especially the crab cakes though it came with a seafood risotto that was rather basic (just one large shrimp) but still tasty all the same. Love the charm, character and ambience of the place. Briefly explored the other rooms to see that there were were other dining areas, including an outdoor patio area that I would certainly consider dining alfresco on warm pleasant evenings. The eclectic artwork adorning the walls (including in the bathroom) is for sale. Kudos to our waitress (and the bar tender) for her service being so busy with other patrons. Sorry didn't know her name as we didn't ask for a copy of the check when paying by tablet as we didn't want to trouble the the staff for a printed copy of the bill. My one only slight gripe was some of the bench seating was hard and rather uncomfortable. (A little padding would go a long way!) Any way Major Stokes is now going to be my go to place when going to an occasional show or concert in Greensburg due to its close proximity to the Palace Theatre.“

“Eat and drink at this Local Restaurant tonight!! Please, go somewhere you've never been.My wife and I are Hospitality Professionals from Toronto, Ontario. When travelling, we prefer to stay off the beaten path. The Headkeeper has now been added to our list of great finds.They provide a great patio bar and seating. After a friendly greeting amd options, we chose to sit inside.Our server, Sarah, was totally on point. Based on our tastes, she assisted in our selections of some 600 beers. Not a beer lover...Try a Jameson Orange cocktail, Dark n Stormy, or other ?The food was top notch. Flash Fried Calamari, Sautéed Forest Mushrooms, French Onion Crostini, and Cauliflower. Portions can work for a table of 4. Can't go wrong with this offering and five drinks for under $100!!Take the time to get to know Sarah, she may even offer her recommendations on some other cool local spots. We are now looking forward to exploring these potential gems over the next few days!!Thanks for your warm welcome and in starting us off on the right foot (or in the right cups)??“

“Stopped by while visiting Greensburg and had an Italian hoagie, hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve tried. I went 30 mins after open, they only run a limited menu at that time until the cook comes in. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!“

“An amazing little gem on the border of North Huntingdon and Rillton. Bright atmosphere, friendly, excellent staff and delicious food. We had take out pizza from their previous Hahntown shop, finally dined in at the new location today and we had the Autumn Salad, Meatball Hoagie and Buffalo Cauliflower. On a whim my husband ordered the brownie with ice cream, the best ever!! He can't wait to try their other homemade desert offerings on future visits.“

“Really impressed by them we have been wanting to try them for years. So glad that we did, we enjoyed the fresh ingredients, the diner feel and music to go with it. Definitely gonna be one of our new go two spots can’t wait to go back!!! ? ? can’t forget about the excellent service ?“

“We had a great meal before a show at the Palace. I had the Lobster Mac and Cheese with an appetizer, and my wife had a chicken dish. Great food and large quantity. The waiter was very polite and attentive. Just wished I saved room for the cheese cake. Looked incredible.“

“I was so grateful to have them cater my bridal shower/brunch over the weekend. They’re so easy to work with, so sweet and the food was out of this world! I was so set on having a brunch and the food did not disappoint! Dawn is so great to work with and is super helpful! They were on time and super efficient too including breaking down and packaging our extra food for us!“

“Overpriced. But excellent! The coffee is delicious and they'll give you a to-go cup. Service has always been perfect, including lunch rush on Sunday. Just wish they could keep their prices lower, it keeps them out of competition with Denny's and other breakfasty places.“

“I had steak and chicken and they were good, veggies were really good but the seasoned red skin potatoes were terrible, should have ordered the rice instead. I liked the Fresh brewed iced tea. We loved all the trees decorated for Valentine's Day ❤️Tracy was a very nice server!“

“We had dinner there last night with our family. Our family style dinner included chicken and peppers, chicken parmesan, manicotti, soup, and salad. Everything was excellent and generous portions. The waitress was very attentive. We are looking forward to our next visit to LaVitas, a small, welcoming, family style restaurant where it takes you back to dinner at Grandma's. It's a hidden gem in the heart of Greensburg.“

“Amazing place!!! If you have been considering trying it, get off your butt and go!Excellent service, very reasonable prices, delicious food!The egg roll appetizer is a surprising addition to the menu that is simple but quite tasty.The bacon cheeseburger is a hand formed 1/2 pound patty that was cooked to perfection and loaded with fresh veggies and a nice amount of bacon.Salads are generous and look very fresh with high quality ingredients and dressings.Club sandwich is absolutely massive! Loaded with what looked to be damn near a full pound of meat.You simply can't beat the quality of the food and service for any price...let alone for the prices there.Can't wait to go back and catch their breakfast!Highly recommend.“

“I've played this course a few times each year for the past decade and for the price I always find the course to be well-maintained with a friendly staff. In particular, they've done a good job remodeling and maintaining the clubhouse with a nice little bar and larger banquet room.“

“Delicious breakfast food!! Absolutely impeccable service, served my children and I when I didn't look at hours of operation upon entering- the establishment n employees didn't let us know they were about to close when my children and I walked in, my fault for not recognizing. We were waited on, served great food, great timing, learned after that they were supposed to close when my children and I received our drinks- establishment let me know none the wiser! I know the hours of operation NOW! My daughter and my new favorite breakfast spot! Bacon means everything, the bacon is delicious!!!!!“

“The perfect restaurant. Great food, atmosphere, open space, wine, drinks & craft beers, reasonable prices, and even the restroom had foam soap ! Live music as well and holiday themes. Just a wonderful place. I wish we had one in our Upper St Clair neighborhood!!!! I would be there several times a week.“

“This bar is hilarious, when you walk in you are immediately welcomed to a cloud of cigarette smoke. The tight quarters and endless halls makes this place a nightmare for any drunken patron. The maze and fog gives this place a lot of character. Pair it with a stiff drink and loads of newly divorced women, and what you have is a night worth remembering.“

“Enjoyed a travel stop for dinner with a party of 10. Service was great. The food quality and taste were way above an average restaurant of the niche. The salad bar was fresh. We never had an empty glass, and the service was extremely smooth. Our table was large, and our server met the task.“
