Absolutely fun little spot, love the back area and the loft area with the pinball machines. Great drinks, loved the Ecto batched cocktail pouch, lovely employees, free music options in the back, pool table, darts & good vibes. Private bathrooms too (a plus for me personally haha) definitely see me going here again.

Nice restaurant. Has laid back vibe, bar games like pool table, darts and small video game area. Food definitely not your chain restaurant fair. Had the mushroom burger which was very good. The capri sun cocktail was not overly tasty but did come in a cute drink pouch

Fun space to grab a local beer and a bite to eat. Pool table. Dartboard gives it that traditional corner bar feel. Fun sharing bottles of special foeder aged beers. The staff was also very

It’s a brewery that does not have flights. You make multiple beer and you do not have flights. Stupid. The burger did not come with fries. Plain Jane burger for $12. Did not state it was Al a carte. Chili tots description said cheese curds with chili. Silly me thought that meant cheese curds with chili. Not sure where the cheese curds were in the tots. Food was good otherwise.

Dope little spot in Lawrenceville. Still owned by Cinderlands but rebranded. This menu is definitely better than the previous. Both beers tried were tasty. Also had the Kitchen Sink salad, which was a very generous portion and had lots of meat for $10. The Italian dressing is heavy on the red wine vinegar but otherwise tasty. Tots were just average. LTO burger was delicious as well as the pasta salad. Prices are reasonable.

I consider myself both a food sensualist and a hoagie historian. This sandwich was good. Anything on Mancini's bread is good. The ingredients were very fresh. I'm not crazy about mayonnaise on a hoagie, but this is changed my mind. I went with the classic Italian but now I will try the cob. This is a very good hoagie and you should be proud of yourself that textures are wonderfully soft so this is not like a crispy Italian hoagie. This is more of like a sandwich. It's soft. It's tender. The smells are good. This is very fresh ingredients. And the hoagie has like a slow burn. The mayonnaise has sort of a spice. The flavors mingle very well, so it's a good cross of vegetables and meat, and there's not like an overbearing sense of ham, so there's like a nice combination of a spicy cupcola. There's a good more todella on here. This is a good sandwich

comfortable atmosphere. the menu was maybe a little too creative - some of the dishes seemed like they lost the plot. nashville chicken sandwich for example: very strange meat patty (dubiously chicken) with so much mayo that mayo was the dominant taste and texture. the breading was nice, the herbed lettuce was nice, but the sandwich was just ill conceived i think, and this was a trend on their menu. if i went again i'd probably stick with a beer

I’ve only been once and got the special chopped cheese- great sandwich and very friendly staff!

Liked the new spot. Layout is a bit odd but it works if not crowded, which it wasn't when I popped in for a bite.Food was tasty. There is an herb/spice that's used on almost everything I tried and I can't put my finger on it. Tastes fresh but it didn't necessarily vibe with every dish, only some. I wish I knew what it was.Turkey Cobb Sammy had a very large bread to filling ratio, felt like half the bites were bread and dressing only. The good bites tasted great though.Pasta salad was fantastic. Tots seemed a bit under cooked or something and didn't love the seasoning.I'd try it again and order some different stuff to try. Overall recommended as they have great beers and the food is tasty.

After a slight hiccup coming in hot and using the facilities, we had the most enjoyable of experiences with their offerings and brews. Their sandwiches are on point - from the spinach offering, to the turkey, to the grill cheese- it was all spectacular...Probably the one place I would make a return trip to...

Cool place. We went in at noon on a Saturday and it was totally empty which was odd but we didn’t mind. Food was good, only complaint was the Nashville Hot was a rectangular chicken patty, not an actual piece of chicken. Thought it was vegan meat at first after seeing

I loved the Foederhouse so much, I was worried about the change. However, I LOVE Long Story Short, their food is fantastic and I cant stop ordering it. Sadly, I have not made it into the physical location, but based on the food alone, that will be happening very soon!

Last week I stopped into Long Story Short to check it out since the big change. I ordered the burger (w/o mayo) and it was one of my favorite Pittsburgh burgers. The bun was soft (and not dry!), the patties were cooked just right, and the two beers (Hahps and Squish) were on point. It was a pretty busy night and the service was really friendly and fast. I will definitely be back.

It would be easy to open another mediocre restaurant in Lawrenceville. Fortunately, LSS has aimed higher. Everything on their straightforward menu is thoughtfully conceived and well prepared. If you're hungry, go here.
