Great spot to watch a game and drink domestic! The vibe in here is super friendly, very yinzer. They have all the domestics on tap and a good variety of bar food. One of my friends ordered the cheesesteak and said it was, "very good". We shared the hot pepper cheese balls. They were definitely crispy and cheesy, but not hot (spicy)! Just fyi in case you're worried about the heat. Definitely get them!

I came in with a large group. Some people in my group got their food and finished it before our server even bothered to come to my table. After 1.5 hrs, I left with never getting food.Would NEVER go back here!!!!

Smaller local bar. Food is wonderful. Staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone including the locals make you feel welcome. Definitely feel comfortable and safe going in solo.

Horribly slow service -- it even took the server about 10 minutes to bring my credit card . Food was bland. Wasn't very welcoming to me and my partner.

Stacy was extremely helpful and the food was good and the drinks were spot on. Found this little gem driving by trying to kill some time. Will definitely go back. Place was also clean!

We want to love Rupe's Roadhouse and that is why I give it four stars. The truth is not as easy.For diners who are NOT regulars or friends of the owner:Ambiance. First date? Looking for a dining experience? Go somewhere else. You won't get laid or a second date. Consider fast food and West End Overlook (is that still a thing?). Married? Your spouse does not want to eat here. Too dark, too loud, sticky tables, regulars who will give you the side eye. One star. Dining in. Unless you are a middle aged, blue collar booze lover with a lot of time to kill this is probably not your destination. The tables are sticky. The room is dark even when it is bright and sunny outside. The regulars are there and probably looking at you in a way that makes you uncomfortable. The television volume is guaranteed to be too loud. They are understaffed and they probably do not care about attracting new customers. I may have been able to dine in once or twice. Two stars. We aren't regulars. Take out. We've successfully ordered from Rupe's Roadhouse. Don't bothering to order online because it won't work. Call and try to shout your order to whoever answers or go in and order face to face. The fried fish sandwiches are among the best in Allegheny County. Worth your trouble. Will they get your order right? Probably not. Don't be a picky eater and accept that you may or may not get cheese or tartar sauce vs cocktail sauce. I would give six stars for the fish. Pricey and worth it. Generally speaking, I've never had a bad meal from here. Salads are great, sandwiches are great. This is where the place excels. Delivery? One star. Online ordering does not work. See Take out (above). Best to go pick it up yourself. Besides, how will you get stared at by the regulars if you opt for delivery? For Diners who are Regulars:Food is great, you're not in a rush, have a few beers or cocktails while your order is being prepared and have a great time staring at the strange people who wander in while catching up with your neighbors and coworkers. Five stars!
check your to go orders. Ordered a greek salad with gyro meat-paid for gyro meat but none was on salad and only noticed by the time I opened it at home. Also had no appetizer pretzels available

Their food is really good. We had the Hummis platter, the Roadhouse Gyro and the Sprimp Po Boy Gyro. Wish I had taken pics. Next time because I'll definitely be back.

The food was delicious and the service was friendly. You have to try the Italian hot sausage sandwich. It is loose sausage formed into a party. Wow. Look for Rupe he may be there. He treats you like you are a friend.

I used love this place. Last time I was there five cocktail s and two sandwiches for $82 what the heck happened seems kind of ridiculous or semi dive bar
