My husband met a couple moms at the park who recommended this place to us, as new residents of Pittsburgh from California. After eating there, I'm not entirely sure of why.
We thought we were going to a buffet. Great! We love the occasional buffet! When we arrived and saw exactly what we were working with we were a little confused and disappointed but still decided to stay and try it since it came highly recommended by a couple locals. I ordered the Reuben with the salad bar as my side, my husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich with the salad bar as HIS side, and we got the toddler blueberry pancakes with lots of extra turkey sausage.
The salad bar is actually really good! lol. I had two full plates of salad before I had to push my plate away so I could leave room for my sandwich. My husband enjoyed the salad bar less so, but I have a soft spot for salad bars so whatever. The Reuben was better than I was expecting: piping hot with lots of meat- a solid effort for a diner chain. My husband had no complaints about his sandwich and my son put as big a dent in his food as he is capable of.
Overall, the experience was just decent. A solid three stars, but in a positive light. I can see this being somewhere I'd drunkenly stumble into back in the days way before the toddler but I can't see myself making special trips here as someone who needs the food I pay for when I eat out to be worth every penny I spend. Nothing bad to say about this location, per se, just nothing to write home about either.
