BUT, and this is the reason I will go elsewhere next time...the overpriced food sucks and at least some of the waitstaff/management is sub-par. I went early Sat. evening and got wings--garlic parm, greasy and tasteless. Comes with 2--yes 2 celery pieces, and if u comment on that you will get 2 more pieces, ungraciously handed to you by a surly waiter who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but taking care of customers. I don't think he smiled once the whole time I was there. THEN....my meatball sub comes..3 tiny meatballs on a HALF of a hot dog--yes, not hoagie roll but a hot dog bun! It looked like a kids meal! Seriously, Subway's $5 footlong is a great deal compared to this! At least I've never had bad service at Subway! The manager( ?) came over and said, "I'm sorry you're not having a good time." Well, to be honest, I was having a fine time, just terrible food! When I pointed out the measly meatball sub, adding that the beer is great, but the food is less than, she said something like, "well yeah we are known for our beers, the kitchen is kinda secondary." Ok then maybe you should charge alot less for your kinda secondary food! Better yet, give it away! To add insult to injury, the bill comes, and instead of comping the sub, like a normal place would do (I took one bite!) they took 1/2 off. I mean come on...do you want your 3.50 or do you want a satisfied customer who will come back and tell others how the management took good care of you? So again I called the manager over, again she states (extremely passive aggressive, this one!), "I'm sorry you're not having a good time." AGAIN, I'm not NOT having a good time, but this is ridiculous. I didn't eat the sub, what I tasted was terrible, and it's obvious the food is not important here. She ungraciously agreed to take off the 3.50 and she hopes we will try Hough's again. Uh, I don't think so, not unless it's JUST for the beer. But there are plenty of other places in Pittsburgh for great beer and bar food, and nice staff. It's a shame, because I like to see local places make it, but I don't think you can do that with the kind of food and service I experienced. Maybe it was an off night, but they were't too busy, it was about 6pm when we got there. AND this is the second time I've been there, was actually giving it a second try after the first visit a couple of months ago where the small portions of appetizers were greasy and tasteless. SO..there won't be a third strike! If they make it on their beers, great, but I won't be supporting them anymore. Shame.
