Came here a second time because my first visit was so good. I'm sad to say my second visit was a great disappointment.
The wait was forever long for our party of three. I think the problem with this place (in terms of wait times) is the tables are way too large and they'll seat parties of two at tables that seat six. The menu was small before and it is still small. They replaced the Reuben with a cheese steak this time. We were expecting the quality of food to be the same but sadly, it was not. Our table ordered the soup of the day (cream of cauliflower and leek), mac and cheese, gumbo, halusky and cheese steak along with several cocktails. Of all the dishes we sampled, the soup and mac and cheese were the best. In fact, we could've licked the bowl clean after the mac and cheese. We added hot sauce to it for an additional $.50 and it was worth it. The worst was probably a tie between the gumbo and the cheese steak. The gumbo was basically a shredded beef stew, lacking much depth of flavor. And the cheese steak consisted of mostly bread. The roll they used was perhaps too thick for their small portion of sandwich makings. I remember raving about the homemade pickles before but they fell short this time. I don't think they were ready as pickles yet; this time, they were basically just slices of cucumbers. I really hope they're not cutting corners now after having found some success.
Darn. I really thought this was going to be a gem of Pittsburgh but after tonight, I will sadly not be returning any time soon.
