Dear Yelp Readers,
This small place in the bottom of the 19-story Allegheny Building on Forbes is a small cafeteria style restaurant with mostly home-cooked-like meals, complete with bright red trays. No diner-like service would be complete without the fast talking always-in-a-hurry blunt order taker. A friend and I ordered grilled chicken salads --- one of the healthier things on the menu. They were good enough to quench the mid-day hunger of your average office worker, but certainly pale in comparison to nearby places like Zorba's --- despite a similar price point.
We possibly made an error in ordering...... perhaps the reuben, grilled cheese with bacon, or the many "melts" (surely served with mashed potatoes and gravy) would have been more popular, and more squarely in the wheel house of the cooks.
The girl keeping the tables and chairs clean was friendly and doing a good job.
The menu, the food, and experience was mostly forgettable, and I'm not sure we'll remember to go back.
Hyphenatedly yours....
