| - Gambling- convenient, laid back, this is not Vegas, and most certainly not as casual as West Virginia but it's a happy medium. I wish the air tasted a bit less like an old cigar wet but it is what it is. It's fun. It's a casino in Pittsburgh. You're getting what you pay for. A fun time out with friends and family. Although I think of you were there alone for any length of time it could become kind of lonely and smelly.
Food
Andrews- love the Beet Salad. The pierogi app is weird. This is Pgh- pierogis are an art in their own. So if a menu is going to deconstruct and reconstruct them they better be a show stopper. These have too much Rosemary.. or spice... or something. Not fancy or foodie- just not a show stopper and memorable in an awkward way. I do not suggest making this part of the meal. Which is a disappointment, as the pierogis are one of the few options for those dining with carnivores who aren't enthusiastic about meat.
Must be upfront, I'm not an enthusiastic red meat eater. You might already know this. I'm kind of eh, about meat. I tend to make alternative choices compared to my husband. He's diehard meat, mushrooms, and a side of meat. Myself, the crab cakes - amazing. Whatever you order- whatever- even if you already know it's too much food- ORDER A TRIO OF SIDES. Do it. Your entree is the after thought. The sides are the real show stealer! Wow! Yum.
Wheelhouse - If the price of a hot dog is $8 at the West End Cafe, then just skip going there and grab a spot at Wheel House for the Kielboski sandwich for $10. Same w the buffet. You'll be much more satisfied having a dinner from the Wheelhouse that comes with soup or salad & potato. Check out the menu. The concept is casual bar restaurant food. Nice place to catch up w friends before going to play.
Ciao - some of the best food choices. Grab and go. Starbucks and fresh quick picks. Soups, wraps, chips, good stuff. Could use a little more variety but some of the best the venue has to offer in terms of food.
Buffet- terrible. The worst way to spent $20 in the building. Yes you'll leave stuffed but not satisfied. I really can't say there is anything that's outstanding. The roasted cauliflower is an easily overlooked pick that stands out when eaten.
The entire pasta bar isn't worth putting on your plate. The Asian Station is hit or miss. The build your own stir fry is worth making as well as some of the sushi rolls depending on your tastes. The American style food is all ok. It is not that fabulous. The meat on the carving station tends to be on the tough side. The baked potatoes are usually good.
The desserts are plentiful. I'm not a huge dessert person and typically find all of them disappointing with the exception of the baklava. When the baklava isn't there, I'm heartbroken.
West End- There isn't anything offered here that I like. It's all warm or breaded quick picks that seem too heavy and high in calories. And price. I wish there were some lighter and smaller options. Healthier choices to grab and snack on while chatting w with friends and playing games. Sadly it's a real disappointment.
Free Pop & Drink Machines - yes please. The free coffee is delicious.
