| - I guess it is appropriate that this restaurant be named after the grandiose, Mr J.D. Rockefeller. As if there is one thing I can say about the food here, especially the sandwiches, is impressive.
Atmosphere - A little sterile, a-la-new diner with oak accents in a clean, non threatening style. This establishment is located in a new-ish strip mall with ample parking out front.
Service - Friendly and prompt. The waiter made sure to run to the back for each calzone ordered, as this is a made to order item, ensuring all food arrived at the same time. Tea refills were fast and efficient.
Food - One word...huge! I know Pittsburgh is all about the large portions, but this place goes a little crazy with a few of the menu items (view pics...especially the "Pittsburgh Style"...see the fork on the plate for scale). Based on a prior Yelp reviewer, Darren W, I ordered the Italian Calzone. I am glad I did. This massive 'Zone arrived to my table piping hot with all the good Italian meats I just can't find down here in Charlotte, NC. It is definitely good for two people or one person, as in my case (I ate the other half on the drive back home). I especially enjoyed the dough of the calzone. It was light (as in not greasy) and slightly sweet in almost a pepperoni roll kind of way (another thing I can not get in Charlotte).
Overall - There is definitely excellent value here and the food is very tasty. I hope to visit this place again just to see how good everything else is on their extensive menu.
