“I first remembered going to Willees before I started school. Recently, I had a chance to go back. Perhaps I am a romantic old fool, but I still love everything about this place! I live in Denver now, but I still go back there for the Fish sandwich! 58 years and counting!Kid-friendliness: My grandson was welcomed as warmly as his great-grandmother, so it made for a very fun evening!“

“I had the Salmon and my husband had the ribs. They were both delicious, as was the cornbread and corn. Plenty of food and definitely worth the price. We had take out, so we can't comment on the service but I would recommend this place.“

“Was looking for a new place to take the fam for my dad's birthday and stumbled across this place after a little research. It's a little outside of downtown Pittsburgh which is what we wanted because navigating and parking was easy ?As soon as I walked in I loved the atmosphere. Super cool place and hadn't seen anything like it before. It gave a super cool vibe. I also put in a reservation for 11 and we ended up in a private room - didn't ask for it - but more than appreciated that we were kind of closed off in our own space ?Our server was really friendly and on top of everything...giving us details on specials, super on point with service in general, and overall gave an awesome experience. I wish I remembered his name to give a shout-out because I like to give credit where credit is due ?I ordered a full meal here - I will say the clam chowder was ok...not bad but nothing spectacular but I'm still giving 5 stars for everything else I stated above and the rest of the food I ordered. I also got shrimp wontons, which I wish I took a picture cause they were unique and texture was on point and flavor, especially the sauce was great. My main course was there cottage pie, their spin off shepherds pie but with a super flavorful gravy and shaved ribeye with mashed potatoes on top. Everyone at the table wanted it as soon as it arrived and it was awesome! I got a slice of chocolate cake to go which was also really good too ?I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try more of their menu options because I don't think I'd be disappointed - Thank you for a great evening especially on my dad's birthday ?“

“Amazing Staff and Food for large birthday party with toddlers. See my photos of Appetizers and Entreés w/sides. Very reasonably priced for nice sized portions? I highly recommend the Pizookies and Triple Chocolate one at that ?. Plenty of parking, but fills up quickly during meal rush hours. Easy In and Easy Out onto roadway. I had the shrimp scampi and Tri tip combo with chili and baked potato ? ? I highly recommend this place for your next family outing.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: Fills quicklyKid-friendliness: Staff is great for kids ? ?“

“Best breakfast spot in Pittsburgh. Parking: very limited parking but we were there on a Sunday morning and were able to find a spot. Dining area: The restaurant is pretty small but again we were lucky to find an open table. Shortly after we arrived there were a few parties that had to wait for seating. Food: This was not only the best breakfast that I had in Pittsburgh but in most other places too. I had the pancakes with scrambled eggs and sausage. They make their sausage in house and I went with the spicy sausage though there were different options. I also had pepper jack cheese in the eggs. The pancakes were also quite large and were some of the best I have had in any restaurant. The coffee was also very good and the waitress also provided a to go cup for it as well. Service: The service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff. The owners were also there and interacting with the patrons. The next time I am in Pittsburgh this is where I will be eating breakfast.“

“What a great experience! We had a private party over lunch for a coworker, and the feast team just went above and beyond. We couldn't decide about cake options so Chef offered two custom cakes, which should be added to the menu. Absolutely amazing, and the food was just delicious! Service is stellar! THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT! All around great job!!“

“Good food, good wine selection, expansive bourbon list, spectacular service, and the prices are fair.I had the rib and brisket plate with fries on my first outing there, and the chipotle flank steak with asparagus on the second. Both were excellent but I'd recommend the flank steak. I enjoyed the Boen Pinot Noir, sold by the glass. A solid wine.“

“Food was very good. The only thing I can say as a slight negative was the service. However, this was not the servers fault. They were the only one being host, bartender, and server for the entire dining room. Saying all of that he did a fantastic job, but could definitely use help.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten sensitive options that I have ordered.“

“My partner loves sweets, cookies in particular, and I wanted to find a local bakery to buy some goodies for Valentine’s Day. Was happy to see that this place offers cookie packs with free shipping! I loved the assortment and the specialty Pittsburgh inspired cookies. I’ve never ordered baked goods through the mail before, so I was worried about how they would arrive. However, they were neatly packaged and individually wrapped! And they were still soft. This place also allows you to add a custom message which was added as a sticker on the inside of the box. The cookies were delicious and larger than I expected - I would definitely repurchase from this place! Thank you for the A+ Valentine’s gift!“

“I had breakfast there, it's a family style place with good food, They sign on the door says they open at 6am and close at 2 pm most days. It was slow when I was there and my breakfast was served quickly and by friendly staff. Just a good old fashion dinner. Where you go sir down and have a good homestyle meal. And catch up with old friends. Also are having a benift dinner ( Ithink spaghetti) For a 4 year old who needs a diabetic service dog. 10.00 a plate I think in within the next 2 months of today 2/23/24.“

“We got takeout and it was great. Really good burgers and wings. The weekly beer specials on the wall give me a reason to go back. Morgan was super friendly. When I asked about her favorites she said any of the steak sandwiches or the BLT in the summer. She also helped me to get my bags to the car“

“Went for my girls' first birthday dinner. Linda R was our server. Linda went above and beyond to take quality care of my family. She gave us the feel like we were regulars at a small hometown diner.It was one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant!“

“Went there today for the first time. Service was great and have a great selection of craft beers. Had the smoked combo with kolbassa and pulled pork with the baked beans and Mac and cheese. WOW!!! Great!! Will be heading back soon to try some other menu items!! Abigail was our waitress and she was great. Very friendly and attentive..“

“Always have a good time here! The bar is clean. The bar food is good. And the drinks are delicious! Bartenders are all super friendly and I love when they have alexia events like the Meatball contest, etc. My only complaint... it can be kind of loud. Sound deafening materials on the ceiling should definitely be in the future. Otherwise, call me a regular!“

“Fantastic hidden gem on route 8. Great food and drinks. Reasonably price and large portions. The owners are fantastic and friendly. Bring your appetite! My buddy had the wings and they were crispy and delicious. I went with the Wamo burger pictured and it was delicious . Proud to say I finished it. Included fresh cut fries. Saw some other food coming out to other tables and can't wait to go back to try more!“

“I recently discovered Dee Jay's and I'm thrilled to say it is one of my favorite new restaurants. It was so very good. Dee Jay's makes perfect BBQ. We tried the house made chips with french onion dip as an appetizer. It was good. For my meal, I had a combo plate featuring a BBQ chicken breast and baby back ribs. Both were delicious. The ribs melted off the bone. They were ?!! On the side I had the refreshing coleslaw and Dee Jay's signature twisted fries. The fries are really yummy and fun. Service and atmosphere were top notch. I will most definitely visit again and I highly recommend.“

“Amazing food! Truly delicious Italian food, and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. It’s a hidden gem that goes unnoticed way too much. A perfect place to get upscale food and classic Italian-American food. I tried the Pick a Pasta with vodka sauce and penne and a mini peanut butter chocolate bombe for dessert.Both items were stellar. The pasta was perfectly cooked, not too soggy or too Al dense. The sauce had a nice balance of sweetness and creaminess, with that tomato bringing in a touch of acidity. Great portion for the price, too. Highly recommend it.The bombe was a lovely little dessert, and the perfect size for a person (you might be able to split if you’re too stuffed). Rich peanut butter and chocolate, tasty cake. Very good for the price. And very clearly made in house.They also gave me some complimentary bread, which was absolutely delicious. A humongous piece of bread! Topped with some seeds, and it goes perfectly with the olive oil they added in as well. So delicious.All in all, this place is amazing. Delicious pasta and desserts, and what a nice surprise with the bread! I would definitely order from here again.Vegetarian options: You can make pasta dishes that are vegetarian, salads, etc“

“Today was the first time we were ever thereThe food was really good and the portions were plenty. Really nice place inside. Great atmosphere. The service was great. For the money we will defenently go there againWheelchair accessibility: The parking lot is pretty flat and there were no steps to get in. My dad was in a wheelchair for years. We would not have had any problems getting him in or around in the restaurant.“

“I went there with my father who is suffering from dementia. The server was very patient with him and always kept a smile on her face. I wish I could remember her name to give her a praise directly. My father struggled with the stake he ordered although tasting it myself the steak was perfect yet the manager still took his steak off of the bill because he wasn't happy with it. The service was the best service from any restaurant I've ever been to. And the steak was delicious!“

“First visit and definitely will return. The food was very, very good along with the fast friendly service. We went for breakfast and ordered eggs Benedict and French toast, 5 stars for both. The barn atmosphere amazed us with beautiful wood beams & stonework and the outside view of the golf course was perfect.“

“The food is phenomenal and the service is even better. The chicken wings are the best we’ve had in the Pittsburgh area. We LOVE the everything sauce and yinzer sauce. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a must!! We also love their cheeseburgers and will order the sauces on the side to dip the burger in. We’ve ordered takeout several times and the owner always helps us carry the bags to the car. I cannot speak more highly of this place. Truly a gem.“

“Having heard great things about Just in Thyme catering from friends of mine, we hired them for the first time in December to cater our Christmas party (>30 people). The food and service were OUTSTANDING.Justin worked with me prior to the event to create a menu. He adjusted it two or three times to help us build a great event within our budget. He was easy to work with and very accommodating.I am not new to hosting parties, I already had the chaffer stands and warming candles ready to go. He arrived on time, brought everything up two flights of stairs, and finished setting up the buffet table. He let me borrow anything that we needed (e.g. 30 extra steak knives). The food presentation looked great. I wish I had taken a photo, but it was so hectic that I did not think about it until everyone had already ate.And of course, the most important part: the food was delicious. Everyone, even my in-laws, raved about how great it was and that they were happy we had it catered this year.I will exclusively hire Just in Thyme to cater all of our events from now on. You will not be disappointed !“

“First off I didn't want to go here but my niece said it was good. Then there was a bit of a wait because I guess other people also think it is good. Well then we ate and I gotta tell yah, it was damn good! Highly recommend the wait.“

“I had the chicken salad on a croissant. It was good but hard to eat as the croissant didn't tend to break apart as it was being eaten. The coleslaw was good but some herbs would make it great. The waitress was excellent. Very attentive and pleasant. I will say that the restaurant was quite busy. So next time I will try something different.“

“We have eaten here several times in the past and always enjoy stopping when we are in the area. Wonderful service...can't find my receipt but I think our server's name was Britney...very friendly! Our food was delicious and hubby tried the Hawaiin French toast...perfect since we were on our way home from Hawaii! I had yummy cheesy grits. Coffee is pretty tasty AND the pot is left on the table! Woo hoo!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options.“

“Love the place. Food is generally good, a few improvements could be made here and there, but the beer choice is usually top notch. Service is hit or miss. They get slammed, them seem frustrated they are busy, I get it. It’s not our fault though!“

“The staff is very nice and friendly, the food is absolutely amazing. I've been coming here for years and it's always a friendly and amazing place.Parking: My grandparents usually have trouble walking so we usually take a handicap spot. It's easy access for them to get to the building without straining themselves. A really good parking.“

“I love the Waygu burgers here. I always build my own. The habanero jelly is great as are the bbq beans as a side. I do wish they’d bring back the Diablo sauce. Lou was a great server. Had a calming presence about them. Cold brew milk shake was awesome.“

“I took 2 of my grandkids to the Cranberry location yesterday and had the BEST all around dining experience I have ever had there. Our server was JANET. What a wonderful, attentive and professional server. From the moment she approached our table till the time we left she gave us over the top service. It was so nice to enjoy a dinner and have someone with such a positive attitude wait on us. Please make sure that Janet is given recognition for this 5 STAR review“

“Me and my friends absolutely love this place, our new adda (hangout)!. The smoked chicken wings are the best (buffalo, secret sauce, dry rub) match it a draft of sly fox? ! Do try if you are around here. Their entrees are good and finish it off with choclate creme brulee. Staff is friendly and Service is great!Vegetarian options: The linguini pasta can be made with out crab. Also they have a wild mushroom pasta on the menu.“

“We enjoyed a lovely Fri night happy hour in the warm sunshine( nice out door patio)Had good happy hour $ drinks and delicious apps. I wish i took a picture of the hummus plate delicious and beaitiful. The mushrooms!!! Sooooo good perfection!“

“I attended the emo night event this passed Saturday with my wife and some friends. the atmosphere was awesome and the staff did a great job considering how busy they were. the music was great and everyone had a good time. I'd highly recommend Jergels to anyone looking for a cool spot to hang out!“

“The food is really good!!! We arrived on a meatball Monday and the beefy meatballs were rich moist and tender. The tomato sauce they served with-savory, neither too sweet or too salty, but rather just a perfect consistency and not overcooked...it had freshness to it. I wasn't even starving or anything. Just incredible awareness of what makes an excellent meatball and marinara sauce. The service was wonderful,friendly, attentive. They were so many items on the menu. The fries were served skin on and what I would call thin cut. The earthy flavors of the potato was preserved and the frying oil was very fresh resulting in a fry that rewarded you with that lingering crisp potatoe skin finish with no greasiness. These people clearly have a reputation to uphold. We had dessert, which I normally don't but again- someone in that kitchen cares alot about flavor and has a discriminate palette. Pecan Cream Pie. Didn't know what to think. It looked fluffy when it arrived, some kind of cream, pecan chunk mash-perhaps suspended together with agar or a gelatin.....I really liked it. Pies of this type can ofteb be cloying or overly sweet. Really superb way to finish off a meal. So impressive, the flavors were so good and I absolutely was not expecting this at all. Definitely stop and eat at this place.Parking: Real easy to pull on in.“

“Wife and I used to go to the restaurants in the columbus circle flagship store when we lived in NYC. We loved eating there.We came to Nordstrom here at Ross Park and noticed they had a cafe. We immediately decided to have dinner here, and it was a great experience.Great staff, great food. Hidden gem.“

“had brunch on 9-3 1st time. I wanted to go to my favorite place but the wait was to long being a food truck owner I'm picky about eating out. Ms Mary i believe is her name was our server was great the manager was great. food was delicious peacon waffles yummy“

“We stopped in around 10:30pm for a few drinks, just another spot we haven't checked out yet. Definitely a good local joint, wasn't too busy but there was a good crowd. Had some pool tables, darts, and some other games. Best way to describe this place was a very solid local bar. Wasn't over the top or fancy or anything. Just a good spot to meet up for some drinks.“

“Highly recommend the fish sandwich my go-to when dining at the North Park Lounge . Fish is always fresh served on a delicious sesame bun and comes with two side items. The giant size fish sandwich is huge! I eat some there then have leftovers, so two meals for the price of one. We were there during a very busy time, seated almost immediately, service was excellent, but parking was bit challenging. Never had bad meal at this restaurant and very affordable for the amount food you get.Parking: Although the restaurant has very large parking area,, parking is very difficult during peak hours.Kid-friendliness: Noticed while there two different avaible types of highchairs for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has had some renovations done recently very easy access without steps.“

“Middle Road Inn (MRI) is a local bar/restaurant to me. It "noxs" the socks off all the other area restaurants. We almost eliminated all other local restaurants from our repertoire of eateries. We eat there about once a week for years now. The Burgers, Fish Sandwich, Fries and fried Zucchini are the best anywhere. Rueben's are good, Philly Cheese Steak Wrap excellent. Basically, it is very unusual not be very happy with whatever you choose to eat. Did I mention fries... yep, better than McDonalds, best around. While the bar food is consistently the best, they also serve excellent dinners like Chicken Marsala, Chicken Picatta, Prime Rib and so on. The ambiance is that of a high end bar, with a large restaurant seating separate and behind the bar with a great working fireplace. Behind that there is a covered deck that is super on hot summer nights. Prices are reasonable, actually rather low for what you get. Joe the owner is always in the kitchen making sure the food is consistently good. His dad owns Willies Tavern in Valencia that has been famous for it fish and cuisine since forever which explains why everything is good at the MRI. Many, many years of experience pays off. Give Middle Road Inn a try, you won't be sorry.“

“I got the Crash n Burn chicken sandwich, and it was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. The chicken was so crisp and so juicy and tender, the sauce was great too, and the chips are great. I’m not crazy on chips but these are the exception. Wow. Please try this, you won’t regret it. ??“

“We've been going here for years. A few takeaways:Would love to see establishment be in a larger place. Many times we have to go somewhere else when no seating is available. The interior could use a bit of a refresh, it's dark. Most folks that I have brought here and myself think the high top tables are toooo high. They are not at a comfortable arm height. The menu could use a refresh. It has been the same for years. Some healthier options would be nice for summer. We do patronize here often, hubby likes the wing night! Prices are somewhat reasonable. Food is always pretty good. Nice local establishment.“

“This longhorn is the best I've ever been to. All of the staff I have interacted with is amazing but one in particular is Jan (I hope I spelled it right). She is an amazing waitress. She has a very big inviting personality. The food here is great.“

“Again... diners are my thing and this didn't disappoint. It hits the mark on price and (for me) ambiance. Carmelly coffee in a ceramic mug :check; old pictures on the walls: check; booths, tables or the old fashioned bar near the kitchen and register: check. Generous portions of breakfast food were served as we noticed the regulars interact warmly with the staff. Even the police officer came in and bellied up to the bar for a cup and some conversation. Love it!“

“The food was excellent and the waitress we had was wonderful.We arrived when there was a fairly long wait. We were standing near the hostess stand and we heard them complain the whole time and at times they were swearing. I'm not offended by someone swearing, however, I had my 7 year old with me and didn't feel it was appropriate for the staff to be swearing in front of kids.“

“Great place to go. Definitely a favorite but no chance at 5 stars. It’s relatively inexpensive and the food is usually very good. The staff are all real nice. It’s a quirky place regular folks will love. If you’re picky or finicky go somewhere else. Tuesdays are wing night and the wings are good.“

“We order from here at least once a week. Their food is always fresh and full of flavor. If you’re a fry fanatic like me then you’ll appreciate their fresh cut fries. They have a great house salad as well. Always super fresh vegetables and good mix of lettuce. Food is always ready when they say it will be too!“

“Great food our server Katie was very nice but my mother in law said she watched her serve a whole table that was of underage alcohol after she heard her say she was underage herself to another staff member we have since been back and she still works there , be carful with your teen/adult children . Don’t recommend letting them go by themselves !!! Over all the food was very wonderful and portions were great sized“

“We were there this week. Food was good. Staff and service was terrible! Waited 10 minutes for someone to come to the front desk to reload/and get new cards when we got there. this should of been our clue to walk out but it was our daughters 18th birthday and she chose to spend it at dave and busters. Played games and we decided to eat there. Went to the host desk waited for the host to even acknowledge us standing there. grabbed 2 menus didnt even ask how many was in our party just assumed and said right this way. Umm no. Thats not how you run a resturant. there was 8 of us but they were playing games while we got a table. got seated, waited a while for the waitress to come over. got ordered , food was good. Then Waited over a 1/2hr to get our check! I had to go over to the bar with the manager standing there. She says be right there, another 15 minutes goes by before she brings our check. We almost walked out 45 minutes to deliver our check. The staff all just talking away behind the bar not paying any attention to their guests. They had plenty of staff. I couldnt blame it on being busy and under staffed. We won't go back. Thanks for the disappointing birthday gathering.“

“Vendor Review! I've worked at many venues....some good, some not so much! But THIS venue: it should hit every box on your checklist!*visual appeal*location*climate control*fabulous owners*large guest capacity*multiple spaces to use*ceremony and reception spots*tables, chairs, decoI can't say enough about this fabulous venue! It's a dream for couples and vendors alike!!“

“Absolutely will go back when we are in the area again. Food was excellent and I would give service more stars if I could. She even brought my husband's service dog a bowlnof water and a treat. Even offered to have a plain burger cooked for him. The patio is super dog friendly when it's warm out. Charming town and loved the preservation of the restaurant.“
