My first visit to this train depot was in 1952. It was the way I traveled to see my Grandparents in Pittsburgh.
I have eaten at the Pufferbelly 3-4 times this year. I do not recall having any significant complaints during any visit. Most recently, my visit was definitely above average. I was alone and seated at a small table on the trackside of the restaurant. I arrived at 11:45 am on a weekday.
My server came to my table quickly, was very friendly and explained some of the more popular items on the menu. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and desert. What I liked most was the professional manner of my server. I eat out frequently and regardless of the food quality, the performance of the server can make or break a restaurant meal.
I believe like many restaurant patrons, that when I decide to eat out, my available choices are mostly chain type establishments. The Pufferbelly is a refreshing change both in decor and it's history. Additionally, I like the privacy that the booths provide if you don't want to share your conversation with the next table.
My suggestion for those with very discriminating tastes, would be to discuss the menu with your server and not just take for granted the menu offerings. I find that it is often worth the time to show interest in the server's opinion.
