“The music venues are great in this " vintage" building. The food is good. Their pizza tastes like what Kennywood used to serve. And the decor of Cigar Box collection very interesting.”
“Great food, great service, hometown atmosphere - loved it, will absolutely return! We both got the Keystone Omlette and were stuffed, coffee was hot and delicious!”
“I ordered a cake for my sons birthday party. When I arrived there was a mixup, I received a cake which turned out not to be the cake we ordered. The manager I spoke with was super friendly and offered resolution. Things happen, the kids still had fun and enjoyed the “mystery” cake.Side note, my 3 pups LOVE the ol’ roy doggie sandwiches. Tail wagging item for sure. Great idea!!”
“Tried to stop in yesterday with my sister and husband, but, they weren't open. Hoping everything is okay and can't wait to go back. The owners grandson has an amazing singing voice!!”
“Food was good and the service was quick it's a nice little pizza place with lots of other optionsParking: Parking spots can be hard to find because you're Sharing the lot with many other businesses and when you back out you are backing out right into a busy street so make sure your head is on a swivelKid-friendliness: They usually have one tv dedicated to kids cartoons on”
“I grew up on Rock springs road. I use to walk through the woods after school, to order a pizza from the bakery. I've been coming here my entire life. I hold this bakery so near and dear to my heart. I would come here over oakmont bakery in a heartbeat.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves leaving with stickers and cookies ♥️”
“Incredible drinks; offers the best [Dirty, Iced] Chai Latte I've ever had. Great snack foods and pastries. Also unbeatable cozy atmosphere, it's a tiny place with a lot to offer. In my opinion, the best cafe in GBG (and that's beating out a lot of others).”
“My friend and I stopped here for a bite to eat before we made our way back home and we’re glad we did. The atmosphere is very laid back and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend the lamb kabob wrap!Caleb was also extremely kind, welcoming and helpful!I’d def. stop here again if I’m ever in the are again.”

“Walked up to pay and the owner greeted me with a kind hello and smile. I ordered a regular coffee with oat milk and said he wouldn’t charge me for the oat milk. I told him this was my first time there and I live the atmosphere. He said enjoy your first coffee on the house. It was an excellent blend. I highly recommend this place not only for the coffee but also for the atmosphere and positive vibe.”
“Joey was spot on ? the music box could have been turned up a bit when my songs came on. It seems like when I play music my songs get turned down to where you can barely hear them but other songs that other people play are loud ?????”
“We were greated right away and our order was taken. I asked why there's no Posole on the menu. The waiter said it takes time to make. I said I was making some for dinner tomorrow. He asked if I could bring him some. So I brought him enough for 6 people. He was so thankful. I'll go back soon and see how he liked it.”
“It was really good! I got a big Peanut Butter sundae. I asked for hot fudge, though, I'm not sure I got it? Nothing was hot. They didn't write it down & I'm diabetic & if I'm going to blow my carbs I prefer it on hot fudge & things I like over excess ice cream, bc once the good stuff is gone I throw it out as I don't need carbs. Wait was a little long, but that was okay. Seating is great & a really nice spot to sit. Price was fantastic!”
“Next to Fred Rodgers and Arnold Palmer,the French Express is making Latrobe famous! They have excellent specialty sandwiches, ou of this world pastry items, soups and crepes!”
“This is an amazing place!! Great food atmosphere staff what more can you ask for. A family member stopped in because they know I love the wedding soup. They did not have any available. The owner specially made this soup fresh for me. I run a business what more can you ask for . If your in Latrobe stop by you will not be disappointed amazing authentic Italian food. Keep up the great work and thanks for the soup was amazing and so greatly appreciated ?”

“We got the pineapple chicken and three taste chicken. Tofu soup was good, but i just ate around the tofu blocks. All was delicious. Very kind at the front of the house too. Loved the little server robot. Food was devoured before photos were able to be taken! Will definitely be reordering.”

A true artist right in our hometown!Parking: Huge private parking lot!”
“Almost saw me and my wife's 10-year anniversary ruined due to both incompetence and rudeness at another fine dining restaurant here in Greensburg called The Venue, where the table I had reserved more than 2 weeks in advance for this special occasion had been given away to other people. Adding insult to injury, we were then being treated as if we were the ones who had created a problem, so we left and decided to try J. Corks in an attempt to save our evening.Even though we obviously had no reservation at this restaurant, efforts to help us were made immediately when I explained the situation to a staff member. And with success - we managed to get a table right away. What followed was an absolutely delicious meal in a great setting with phenomenal service.We want to express our gratitude to the wonderful staff members of J. Corks for their understanding, cooperation, and hospitality. You truly saved our evening! We definitely know where we will go from now on to celebrate special occasions.”
“Excellent service, so far had pizza, wings and a steak salad. We have ordered the weekend special 2 large pizzas for 25 bucks Only 2 of us so our neighbors get the other one. Everything is absolutely outstanding and will be ordering the special and steak salad today. We live in Greensburg but it it worth the 40 minute round trip. Wish they would open one in Greensburg.”
“We're lost, trying to find a friend's house. I pull over so we can figure out where we are and where I pull over is Twist and Shout. I'm irritated and frustrated so I'm like 'ice cream sounds good!' I go in. It's a little place with a couple of tables and a tv hanging in the corner. It is nice, bright and clean. I'm greeted with a smile by a pretty little lady. She took my order and was very professional and friendly. I hardly had to wait at all for my food, which was brought around the corner by another smiling little lady. And you know what I thought? 'Somebody should give these people a good review bc they deserve it! People are so quick to write the bad reviews...' So here it is! Everything was great and i how we get lost again out this way so I can use it for an excuse to return for more ice cream and smiles!”
“Theres a Very Nice Relaxed atmosphere there! The Beer is Cold and the Food Is Fantastic! Crystal, The Owner and The Bar Maid is pleasant and keeps her customers happy! We enjoy the $1.00 Dry Seasoned Rubbed Wing night on Wednesdays from 5:00 to 8:00pm! It's also Mic Night! ? Talented Musicians come from 6:00 to 9:00 and entertain us with Great Music from the 70's! Playing instruments like a Banjo, a Harmonica, a Fiddle ? and their favorite Guitar ? It's definitely a good time with good people! Everyone needs to come during the summer months too, with Smoking Ribs and Outside Bands! Come make new friends and enjoy yourself, like we do! ????”
“The atmosphere is top notch and the drink prices are reasonable. Being a member truly has its perks. This is one of the better places to grab and drink and relax. The service is some of the best in the area.”
“I highly recommend this hidden gem. The food portions are huge and the prices are low. The waitress we had was very friendly and enjoyable. The only 2 downfalls to this place is that there isn't a lot of parking available and once you enter there isn't a lot of seating inside.”
“What a great place! We arrived in the dark, so I wasn't exactly sure, but I thought it was a little off the beaten path. I guess you could call it a "hidden gem." Our server, Jolee was great, very pleasant, and helpful! The food was outstanding! Looking over the menu made the choice difficult. I would love to come back for one of their specialty cuisine nights.”
“I like coming here in the afternoon before it turns into a college bar. But even on Fri & Sat nite, it can still be pretty cool. Great selection of beer & liquor, nice staff, and an eclectic mix of patrons that are either friendly or they leave you alone. Some people are there for bud light & fireball, some people are there for craft beer & fancy bourbon. The vibe fosters a co-mingling of all types.”
“We travel a lot. Go adventuring! Food adventurer…Speals is a keeper! Awesome brisket sandwich. Their pablano relish is spectacular. Big portions,fresh ingredients and great taste. Always give locals a chance to excel and you absolutely made it to our repeat list.”
