| - WAY WAY WAY overpriced. Terrible value. This is not a sit-down, order from the menu restaurant. It's barely a step above fast food. Got 2 cheese melt sandwiches (comes with small side of fries) and 2 shakes (not very large) for $32 (!!!!!) - could have gotten MUCH better food in MUCH nicer atmosphere with real plates and silverware and a waiter for that price.
Here, you walk up to the counter to order and then grab your PLASTIC utensils and thin napkins to take back to the uncomfortable tables and chairs. Then the food arrives in plastic baskets and paper cups for the drinks. The owner must be making a tremendous profit margin as the overhead has to be minimal given the incredibly cheap way the food is served and there is no wait staff.
The sandwiches were extremely disappointing. Minimal fillings. Again, a cost-cutting measure I assume. When the fellow that brought the food over walked by and asked how we liked it, I had to be honest and say it wasn't very good - too much bread (meaning hardly any filling). It wasn't his fault though. Later, another man - I assume the manager - stopped by to say he heard we didn't like it - have to give him credit for that. When he heard "too much bread", he took it to mean the bread itself was too thick (it wasn't) and said it was thinner than the first type they had used. I didn't bother explaining I meant "too much bread" means "not enough stuff inside".
Admittedly, we went there remembering a "Melt" restaurant in Cleveland where, for the same price or less, you get such big cheese melt sandwiches that you can hardly hold them and can easily take half home for a second meal. Even without a direct comparison to the other restaurant, the value here was the kicker - can't get past that price for the poor quality of food and crappy setting.
Could be an interesting concept (and works in Cleveland), but horrible execution in Sewickley. Will not go back and do not recommend.
