| - Was just visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend seeing a friend and we decided to eat here after coming down from the incline. It was going to be our last meal before heading back to New York, so we were hoping for a good last meal, and it was a great choice! Located in the Station Square mall, it's easily accessible and looks pretty nice from the outside (and it's clean inside too).
The food is pretty traditional American fare, though the name kind of threw me off because I thought it was going to be an Irish restaurant. If you have FourSquare, DON'T FORGET TO CHECK IN because you get free fries with a check in! And it's not just the regular fries, you can get any of them (though I'm not sure about the poutine). We got the Truck Stop Fries (Chipotle Cheddar fries) and it was delicious! The fries were crunchy and savory and the toppings of cheese and scallions made it pretty enjoyable.
I saw the prices for the Long Island Iced Teas and was really confused. One glass for $5.95 and a liter pitcher for $6.65? WHAT? How can it be less than one dollar more to upgrade? I pulled over our waitress and asked about it because I thought it might have been a typo. She smiled and said it wasn't, so I asked her to recommend one of them for me. I wanted to get the Jack and... something one, but she said that the Georgia Peach was her favorite so I went for it. Didn't realize the drink was going to be so freaking pink though... I think maybe the entire drink had one/two shots in it and was pretty weak. It tasted really good though.
The rest of the food... to be honest, my chicken alfredo fettuccine was not impressive at all. I was disappointed by the arrangement of the chicken, which looked like they shoved it through a food grater and dropped it all on my plate with no aesthetic intentions at all. The pasta and sauce were also pretty bland and was nothing special. The sauce was somewhat watery and had no taste. It wasn't even cheesy, which is the worst thing alfredo sauce could do without just being terrible. My friend's sliders looked pretty good, though I'm not sure how they tasted. My other friend ordered the poutine, which seemed pretty standard though a bit lacking in the duck meat department. The large drink kind of just made my day.
I think overall it was a pretty standard chain restaurant. The FourSquare deal, large drink, and calm atmosphere are what sold it for me. The mediocre food and weak alcohol content pulled away the star. I'd definitely be back, though I'll definitely avoid the pasta next time.
