| - It was the logical and logistical choice to dine here. I mean, all the stars were aligned pretty much - at least the yelp rating was anyway. 4.5 stars in the average rating and right next door to my hotel - Red Roof Inn Plus+.
How could I say no?
Central Diner & Grille was exactly that and more. It was definitely a full-fledged diner and restaurant. I got a event that it was pretty nice inside and and accommodate many many people for a big party or a small gathering. They are pretty much a 24 hour operation because they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even can satisfy late night munchies. They probably serve breakfast all day and night, but you just need to ask whether not they do so. I arrived here on a Tuesday late September evening around 8:30pm. It wasn't crowded and I got seated right away. I was offered the dining area or up front at the bar. I opted for the dining area and sat in a booth. It was nice to have plenty of space for the food and drink. The service here was as good as you can get. Friendly and quite nice for any meal combination that you require for that specific moment in time. I suspect that they get a lot of people for dinner and late night, since they have a full bar going on and the selection of beers is pretty good. While they don't have anything on tap, they sell bottled beers. The overall experience here at Central Diner & Grille was just dinner and it was pretty good. The ambiance of casual was nice and just dining in a quiet setting was enjoyable.
I must have spent about 45 minutes here from start to finish. Starting out with a Heineken was a nice way to end the day driving from Winchester, VA to here near the Pittsburgh airport area and Central Diner & Grille. The Central Diner & Grille is located at 6408 Steubenville Pike in Pittsburgh. They accept major credit cards, which is always a good thing. Since I was staying next door at the Red Roof Inn Plus+, I didn't need to worry about parking issues, but for the many other patrons here who don't, there is plenty of parking here around the restaurant. The menu at the Central Diner and Grille was quite extensive, half of it went to breakfast and the other half was dedicated to the lunch/dinner menu, along with drinks, desserts, and other side dishes that would make any meal that much more satisfying. For me, this was just dinner and I spent about $20 for everything. It was sort of like dining at a Chili's restaurant though, although they have a nice breakfast selection. Prices here are quite the norm of what you'd find anywhere. $5-6 for breakfast and $10 for lunch entrees. Liquor and beers range from $3 - $6, although I don't know if they have happy hour here or not.
My experience here at Central Diner & Grille is as affordable and delectable as one can imagine it to be. I started off with the aforementioned Heineken. I ordered this mushroom burger, which came with cheese and sautéed mushrooms and onions. I had French fries that came with it, also I ordered a round of corned beef hash, since I haven't had corned beef hash (restaurant style, not canned supermarket style) in a while. The burger itself was great and I ordered it medium rare. It was quite juicy and the bun was soft enough to where it just melted in my mouth. It was just the ideal meal to have after a long day of driving in the mid Atlantic. The French fries were crisp and hot, while the corned beef hash was definitely hits the spot, especially when I haven't had it in so long. It brought back memories from my childhood and that was very very nostalgic for me. If you are in the area and want a good homespun meal, check this place out and you may be surprised on what hidden gems and treats you'd find here at the Central Diner & Grille.
4.0 stars for service and good food. 4.5 stars for the ambiance. The restaurant is very clean and optimized for everyday service.
