“Wonderful hidden gem of a bar. You'd never guess from the exterior what you'll find inside, definitely see for yourself....#1, Food was good, they have seasonal grub and beer specials, and they're quite tasty.#2, Service was excellent, friendly attentive staff, and the owner Frank gave a cool tour of the joint which leads me to #3;#3, Atmosphere is wild, in such a beautiful way. There are instruments to play for jam bands, art everywhere, and vinyl records playing from a huge collection. If you can find Frank the owner and have him give you a tour, he has quite the plan for this little spot.Vegetarian options: I'm confident there are food items on the menu that were vegetarian. May change seasonally.Dietary restrictions: No peanuts used as of 10/2023Parking: Free parking lot across the street.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar, I would not bring children here.“

“Our family of four stopped in to this very inconspicuous restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised at the amazing service we received. The food was delicious and the prices were very fair. If you're thinking of trying this spot, do it! Everything we had was fantastic.“

“Great cheesesteak! Chilly Willy's has the best cheesesteak in Western PA. Even the Godfather of Meats from Philly, who has over 300K followers on TikTok agreed. The shop has a cool vibe with sport paraphernalia on the walls. It is small but cozy. I ordered the #2 without peppers with extra cheese (which I would recommend). The steak was very delicious, well seasoned. The cheese was melted throughout with a good amount of grilled onions. All of this on a Amoroso roll. It is very much like a traditional Philly steak ordered this way, and the first time that I have had a cheesesteak in the Pittsburgh area that resembles what you can get in Philly. The owner, Willy, is very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for a good cheesesteak.“

“WOW....food was delicious, great service, great prices, kid friendly, did I mention how delicious the food was? We had the specialty bacon cheeseburger(the bun is two cheese stuffed perogies.. (O M G), haluski, perogie platter, and all were amazing! We took home cheesecake and it was just as amazing! This place is a hidden gem that you do not want to miss out on! We will definitely be back! Hats off to the owners and employees!!“

“This restaurant really caught me off guard, in the best way. Its humble and kind of hidden if youre not from that area(like me). We are from Youngstown/ akron area and my mother and I were out thrift shopping and stumbled onto it. portions are generous, staff is very welcoming. service was so quick. I had the pulled pork nachos , and my mom had the Cajun chicken Alfredo. both were absolutely delicious! great job , We will be back with the rest of the family soon!“

“Very cool new discovery! Great vintage concert poster artwork, the BEST soft pretzels (melted butter and garlic), and KILLER garlic ranch wings (fresh and cooked just right). Good beers, wonderful staff, a great place to grab a bite and brew with friends!“

“Great service and excellent food. I was expecting your average bar burger and was pleasantly surprised at what I would call elevated pub food. We enjoyed the fried pickles and smashbugers were delicious. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. I highly recommend and will definitely be back for more!“

“Was there today with a party of 8 people that my sister was giving me my last few hours as I finished up in my 60’s because 2moro I’ll be 70. Awesome waitress and food was very delicious. Thank you Z Pub and your staff for making my day so special.“

“We visited the front door yesterday. (3 golfers) because of its incredible yelp score, It's a typical neighborhood bar with a friendly atmosphere and a six page menu. I ordered the 3/4 lb bacon burger and the others enjoyed smothered hot sausage sandwiches. The meals were perfect, the service was quite good. This is a true gem that you might drive by because of its size and unpaved lot. But if you like bar food / this place sets the bar. We all agree that we will be back.“

“We had our wedding here about a month ago now, and it was wonderful! Miss D is amazing and will make everything go smoothly, even if stuff gets crazy (as it will). We really can't thank her enough for everything she did on our wedding night. The venue is gorgeous, the food was amazing, and they let us do all kinds of crazy things to make the night perfect. Definitely a wonderful place to get married!“

“Can I take a moment to send some appreciation to Fritzys? I inquired about something different from the menu. Chef Rob went above and beyond. He doesn’t believe in frozen foods. Chef Rob makes everything fresh. The amount of detail and effort is incredible. There isn’t frozen foods here guys!! This man filleted a piece of chicken… breaded and fried it for me!!! He didn’t reach into a freezer to get some frozen chicken… this man filled and breaded by hand!!! Everything is homemade and delicious! The menu is always changing with specials! Never have to worry about the same mundane foods. We know that’s boring! I honestly can’t thank chef Rob and Kim for what they’re doing to serve our community. No processed junk. All fresh homemade foods!! Thank you for caring about us and giving so much effort!! You guys rock!“

“I had the chicken and avocado salad and it was wonderful! Loved it. The creme brulee wasn't the best I've ever had, but the salad wowed me. Also the olive oil with the bread was really yummy. Our server was attentive and sweet. There was a tater tot (or something) under the table, next to my seat, when we were shown to it which was a bit of a let down but we'll definitely be back!“

“Vic and his team catered our wedding recently and did a wonderful job! They were professional, accommodating, and most importantly, the food was GREAT! From cocktail hour, dinner, and helping cut the cake, Vic and his team helped make our day extra special.“

“I like the 2-2-2 it's a breakfast meal you can get two pancakes or two toast you can get bacon or sausag and eggs it's around $9 it is 8 something but you got to think about tax everybody's so sweet and if you're lucky enough your kid can get a fruit snack and the cheeseburgers but the only bad thing is is tax and you have to pay for water but other than that it's pretty good if you go there every day they always remember you and it would be nice if they add kids mealKid-friendliness: They always have high chairs for your little baby“

“Nice local family restaurant, I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Very affordable, Food is always Amazing(I recommend their stuffed cabbage!), staff is friendly, on point & accomodating, short wait time before being seated. Definitely call ahead for reservations if you plan dining with a group.“

“Never had something from their menu I didn't like. The fried fish was top notch and we had amazing service.Kid-friendliness: Our server had our kid's meal on the table before the rest of our food came out, which is EXTREMELY wonderful to anyone who knows what dining out is like with a 2 year old.“

“Ordered the reuben sandwich and a cheeseburger. The sandwich was incredible, the burger was ok but the French fries were just bad. No salt and somehow had grease pockets in them just waiting to explode in your mouth.Can't comment on atmosphere cause I just did a pick up order but the staff I encountered were super friendly and nice.“

“I like Luanne's and I've had good food there in the past. This time I got a cheeseburger. The burger was big but sometimes the meat can be too lean, a little dry. Plus not seasoned, a little salt & pepper, garlic powder goes a long way. The cheese Fry's were on point. Beer was cold. Service was good. It's still a good stop. Stop here if you're on route 68.“

“Good food, quick service, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.Parking: Parking spots are angled along streetWheelchair accessibility: Building is old so doors aren’t very wide. Inside was plenty of room to manuever“

“I absolutely love this. Me and a group of co-workers went there just because it was. We could not believe how good it is how friendly the help is and how big the. This is probably the best bargain food and the best quality combined I have seen since covid! All of the sandwiches basically are like all you can eat.“

“I’m super particular about my food, I want it cooked but I also don’t want it cooked like shoe leather. Ordered honey barbecue wings and they were truly the best wings I’ve had from any local restaurants. Cooked but soft skin, and the entire wings covered in sauce, not like some these place that drizzle sauce on theirs. Fast service and friendly environment. They also have the “BEST” apple pie that’s ever made by mankind.“

“I had the Taco Tuesday Special. I started with one of each (beef, fish, and shrimp). They were all delicious. Really nice sauce on the fish and shrimp. I end up ordering one more shrimp. Sooo good. Great prices and great service. Open Mic night once a month is worth planning a special trip“

“It's a walk-in, take out place. Food is amazing, super hot and fresh. Make sure that you have time to wait, because the food is so good that they are incredibly busy. But, even with how busy they were at like 8:00 p.m., they got my order out perfectly, like I said it was super hot, and tasted amazing! Prices are “

“I do not normally write reviews...and I frequent this establishment. However, for as long as I have been coming here I've never felt compelled to post about my experience....until today. I am a creature of habit, I order the same thing...not tonight. I asked for a chef salad but I wanted more veggies then lettuce....BRUH. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. PERIOD. I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY BECAUSE IM ABOUT TO BE IN A FOOD COMA! I ❤️ JIMMY KS!!“
