Kuhn's is really the only convenient grocery for where we live and they do have a great selection of higher end lunch meats, etc., but I had a terrible experience with their poultry. It took several minutes to sort through the grey, fatty boneless, skinless chicken breasts and when I finally found a package that didn't appear to have spoiled, I came home to find that the breasts had never been cut into breasts. There were several large pieces with a ton of trimming to be done. Drive the extra distance to Giant Eagle if you need anything from the meat department. | 01
|
Kuhn's automatically receive 1 for being open 24 hours. Beyond that, customer service has been great, the shelves are stocked well, prepared food and deli items are better for you than fast food with better ingredients at a better value! When I'm in the the are, this is my go-to shopping spot. | 12
|
Really nice place. We shop here all the time. great service, great selection. | 12
|
Had a friend who went here. REALLY BAD experience | 01
|
Best shop by far in the South Hills. Purchased a Cannondale 29er there, and have had numerous service visits for various bikes. Always helpful and always call to let you know when service is fixed. If you are in the market for a Cannondale in the South Hills this place has better customer service BY FAR than the other South Hills Cannondale dealer. | 12

Okay these guys are really good guys, they provided free bike tune-ups along the MS 150 route if you guys are familiar with that. I had an issue with my ride within 200 miles of riding and brought it in and they only charged me for parts,no labor. I really appreciate their demeanor and customer service they provided to me. I never get a pretentious d-bag attitude when I come here. | 12
|
Absolute best place to buy a quality bike in Pittsburgh. The staff really loves cycling and shares their extensive knowledge with you to help find the best bike for you. I didn't feel like I was being up-sold anything. I really trust this place. Frequent customer for life. | 12
|
Nice, quiet neighborhood coffee bar. However, the elementary school a block away gets out at 3:25, and from 3-4 it can be crowded with moms and younger siblings stopping in to pass the time. Outside those times, it's always quiet with nice music and delicious pastries. | 12
|
Good coffee, nice walking street, good selection of teas and little gifty things, good pastries, *excellent* scones, and it's not that other green-logo'd coffee place. | 12
|
Coffee and atmosphere are great... but my God, the cupcakes are the worst EVER!!! There is a bakery right beside them; they should really consider selling the bakery's sweets or none at all. I think a fake/display cupcake would have been fresher... and maybe even taste better. Yes, it was that bad! Mr. Manager... try your stuff before you sell it! | 01
|
I bought a latte.....no wait! Actually, I bought coffee and espresso and two lattes and something to munch on (not all for me I had a friend with me). When I ordered the 2nd latte I sat down and realized I didn't have any foam so went back to the counter to ask for some and and she wanted to charge me!? Really!? Maybe it sound petty to you but I like my lattes fixed a certain way and foam is the best part! It's all about customer service and considering I had just spent over $25.00 a little foam wasn't much to ask. Good coffee. Bad customer service. | 01
|
First, I love CTR's coffee.\nSecond, this location has great batistas and it's less congested than other CTR'S I've been to. \n\nThat about covers it | 12

It's past 10pm, we're hungry, coming home from a wedding party that served small portions of non-edible food. We're visitors from the West Coast, know nothing of the area. Yelped for an establishment that is open late, and still serves food within a 2-mile radius from our hotel. Voila! Yelp has sent us to Huddle. Not only did we get some bomb-ass fish and chips, we got stiff drinks for cheap. WOW! I wouldn't mind coming back here just to hang out if we're in town again. Only thing is it's cash only. Good thing we still had some handy. | 12
|
Who doesn't love being able to walk across the street to an awesome dive bar with a GREAT menu!\nMy husband and I used to go to The Huddle once a week... They have REALLY good wings (also wing nights) and food, including daily specials. The soup was always a must have, with seafood chowder being my favorite. I always ended up ordering way too much food because it is so reasonable priced. We'd spend $30 tip included (always at 25% because that's what a good waitress deserves) and leave with boxes of food! Definitely a place to be checked out!!! | 12
|
I like the double cooked wings, but they're like chick wings they're so mini. The thing that turns me off the most about this place is they have cardboard disposable bowls for their complimentary popcorn - however they get upset if u try and use it to put wing bones or other things in it because they insist on wiping out & reusing the disposable bowls. Disgusting & totally unsanitary IMO. If they insist on reusing those, imagine where they are cutting corners behind closed kitchen doors. I'd go back for bottled beer, that's about it. | 01

... Look... I hate writing a less than stellar review of a business. It actually makes my cold goth baby heart sad. No one WANTS to go somewhere and get bad service, thats just ludicrous. (Not Ludacris, close but not the same.)\n\nI have just recently moved to Beechview and the best part of moving to a new part of this wonderful city is giving new businesses a try! I have sampled so many tasty and amazing new food items and coffee drinks etc etc. I am always in search of a non-smoking bar where I can hang out, eat, drink, and get to know the locals. I prefer small bars with \""yinzers\"" as they tend to be a true gauge of a neighborhood for me. \n\nWe have many friends in this area, which means that we got some great tips before we even moved in about different types of food, stores, laundromats, and bars. One of these tips, repeated from friend to friend, was The Huddle. As the name implies it is a bar where you can be certain you can watch a sports game of whatever sport-ball type you're interested in. It is indeed non-smoking, a handful of tables suitable for 4 people and a \""U\"" shaped bar right in the center as soon as you come in. It is a cash only establishment with an ATM on site for quick transactions. The have free popcorn from a popcorn machine which makes the place smell amazing. It's been around quite a while which means that there is a great group of locals who frequent the establishment. \n\nThis is truly everything I need in a local bar. We had been in for the very first time for drinks shortly after moving in and happened to be in there on one of their two weekly wing nights. This are not the wee tiny wings, more a weird in between of some of the \""full\"" size wings I've had other places that clearly came from giant monster mutant chickens (I mean maybe they were goose wings, who even knows... they were huge) and the teeny tiny wing night wings you find most other places. They have two options; buffalo (sloppy) and \""tanned\"" which are buffalo then cooked again so they are drier and crisp and un-freaking-believeable. The prices are mega cheap and it's so filling and delicious we've been back more than once for them. I like this place so much we have even taken the handsome-boyfriend's mother there when she was in town for the weekend. (P.S. She loved it too!) \n\nMy dear sweet lovely readers, here is where I have to talk about something less than all of the amazing parts I've already mentioned. Tonight, both ravenous from too little food and too much work-day, we trekked up the monster that is Coast Avenue for beers and food and a chill environment (that would undoubtably involve pre-season football). We walk in the door and aside from an employee (other than the bartender) and a few people in the back at tables, we are the only patrons aside from one regular. We belly up to the bar on the far side and say our hellos. This is where I get a serious case of the sad. The bartender working seemed annoyed by our presence. Ok, I get it... I work sort of indirectly with the public I have days where I can't handle people. It happens! As customers come in and sit down, she greets them with a warmth that was clearly lacking. Ok. That's sort of disappointing but still fine. When we got to the point that we asked for a menu three times while she retrieved menus and took orders for the people next to us an hour after we came in... thats where I start to have an issue with the service. Eventually we decided to leave because I was tipping over the line to \""hangry\"" and was afraid I'd lose my temper after the 3rd time we had asked for menus and didn't get them while she continued to warmly greet other patrons and provide them menus and take their orders while refilling our beers seemed to be an annoyance to her to the point of not even asking if we wanted another or the same beer and just taking the glass and starting to fill it (wherein I had to stop her because I hadn't asked her for another one and actually just wanted the tab cashed out).\n\nYes, of course I'll give it another try, I want this to be my local hang out bar. My service in sitting at the table or being served by the woman I presume is the owner has been great. The food is amazing. The prices are great. Don't let me down, The Huddle. | 01

Best salon in Dormont, if not the city. | 12

Another ugly haircut like everywhere in Pittsburgh. For $60 with the owner. Trusted the reviews, but now look like a Pittsburgh redneck. No hair on the sides and long on the back! | 01
|
I just got lunch from here today. For $9.63, I got soup, salad, vegetables tempura, 6 avocado rolls, steamed rice, and pickles. It was a ton of food and more than filling enough - I didn't even eat the salad and I was stuffed. I will agree that the wasabi was pretty weak - I added tons of it and it added almost no spice or flavor. Even though it was a bit pricier than I was expecting (my menu was outdated and said the lunch would be $6.95. Oops.), it was also very filling and worth it for a once-in-a-while treat. | 12
|
sushi was dry and unenjoyable. the place itself is clean and the decor was minimal. I was not a fan and probably won't be back. | 01
|
Well, finally tried the place with the Green door and High Step! Always seem to be people going in and out. Heard from one of my kids it was just OK, cause he had take out once with some buddies. Well, we ventured in and ordered a few things so we could share. General Ts0's chicken was to be crisp and Ouch spicy...Well, the outer crust was crisp, chicken was hard..hard to chew, tasteless and somewhat sweet sauce??? The Shrimp Lo Mein was Ok but the shrimp was overcooked. The Moo Shu Pork was forgettable. | 01
|
Yeah, don't order from here, unless it's for dumplings. since they arev fast and the potstickers are really good. Everything else we had sucked. Shrimp and Scallop with garlic was bland as hell. The Beef on a Stick was liked eating a marinated shoe with a skewer in it. Yuk. | 01
|
Pool hall and pretty crappy bar. Not much else to write home about. Was not a fan and won't be back here. | 01
|
Brought the family to Tom's last weekend, and was disappointed. On the positive side, the prices were excellent, much better than the canonical breakfast spots in the strip. However, the food was heavy, greasy, and made from mediocre ingredients. I didn't care for the spinach / feta omelet, the kids' pancakes were heavy, and the home fries were greasy. True, the place felt 50s, but kind of worn out. We won't go again. | 01
|
Below par diner food. Fried zucchini is all breading and no zucchini. Anything fried always comes dripping in grease, I know, I know it's diner food but it doesn't have to be so greasy it makes you physically ill. I'm a big fan of blt's and there's is pretty poor. Small portion with very little meat and dry bread.\n\nBesides the food, the service is so so. Last time I was in I asked for a lemonade and the waitress forgot it, asked for mayo and there was none on my sandwich, and this was on a slow day\n\nWith eat n park down the street and Pamela's not too far away it seems you have much better places to get you're grub on. I'm giving it one star because I can't see myself ever coming back or recommending the place to anyone else. | 01
|
I know Tom's is a South Hills staple, but other than the convenience of it being open 24 hours a day, I'm not impressed. Even by greasy spoon standards this isn't great. The wait staff is hit and miss. Some are friendly and attentive (there's an awesome Greek lady there that I love), but just as often drinks sit unrefreshed for an entire meal and I can't get anyone's attention to prepare the check. The food is really bland (hard to make a boring grilled cheese, but they manage it) and priced pretty high for what it is. I've been there five or six times in an effort to find a reliably good menu item, but I've given up. It's just bad. | 01
|
I've given this place enough 2nd chances and have had my last meal at this DIVE.\nFood is mediocre at best and you can't get any service because the \nwait staff is always outside having a cigarette. Very unappetizing to watch\nthem and the cook smoking then come back inside and NOT WASH THEIR\nHANDS. DISGUSTING !!!!!!!!!!!!! | 01
|
After living in Seattle and going to a number of amazing diners, I was thrilled to find Tom's. It tends to be a little greasy, but I love the food. I've been there at least 6-7 times, never a bad experience.\nDISLIKED that the bathroom is hard to find without asking.\nPERFECT hangover food. \n\nI will be back! | 12
|
Excellent food and a great Dormont staple. Open late so that is awesome. Just had their wings for the first time. I have to say, The wings are scrawny, but the sauce is great. So great that it almost completely makes up for the lack of wing size. The gyros are excellent too. Great prices and great food. | 12

Tom's Diner is one of those places I really, really want to like. You see it when driving down the street and it looks like a cool, retro place that got picked up from the past and dropped in the present next to the chain stores and abandoned buildings lining the rest of the street. If only the experience here matched the charming exterior.\n\nI don't have a problem with the diner food, first of all; it's not great, but hey, for cheap eats, it's not bad. They make a mean French onion soup, I admit. \n\nMy problem is more with the maintenance of the place. The windows are dirty, seats are busted, tables aren't properly cleaned - those things really detract from the experience and make the place look run-down and a bit unwelcoming.\n\nThe biggest offense for me, though? The service. My waitress? It took her three trips to remember I had ordered an additional drink (yes, we reminded her), by which time I was almost done with my meal. Also: this diner does not have ketchup at its tables. This would be okay if the servers remembered to bring it out with all meals. They do not. \n\nSeriously, guys: you operate in Pittsburgh. Ketchup is mandatory.\n\nI may poke in for a quick bite again, but I'll be honest with my final opinion: considering how mediocre my experience was on a slow Saturday night, I suspect some fast food chains could knock Tom's out of the park on a busy day at this diner. | 01
|
Any place where I can crack up, cut up, let my hair down and be loose is a place I love to be. It's a diner , kinda of self explanatory seeing as to how that's part of the name. So they have your typical dinner fare, breakfast items, sandwichs CHICKEN TENDERS. You get it, I don't need to explain a diner to you. \n\n\n Don't judge me I'm usually wasted upon arrival to Tom's Diner it's not a place where I plan on ending up just a place that I manage to get lol.\n\nAnyhow the pancakes are good and the wait staff is down to earth and very tolerant. \nIn my opinion it's not worth a trip across town, but with friends in Dormont it's a sure stop if I'm visiting over that way. \n\nEnjoy! | 12

I came in and a waitress came to our table , took our order and then walked away. Another lady came to us and asked what we wanted , then the first girl came back and asked us again!!! The restaurant has 4 people. This is not good! Write it down you dumb blonde | 01
|
I stopped by Monday, the first day I felt it was nice enough to take my munchkin for a stroller ride.I like the simple clean layout of this place,no clutter and you can see a lot of the kitchen always a good sign. I asked the woman working the counter for suggestion. She pointed out the chocolate thumbprints and while she bagged those up I spied individual pineapple upside down cakes. So I scored 4 cookies and 2 lil cakes. The cookies were very good mixture of firm and gooey. The cake was realllllly delicious.Moist with a crispy kinda crust outside,just perfect. My husband did get his cake but i really had to restrain myself because he left it for over 24 hours! I ate all 4 cookies. | 12

Read my first review... loved this place... Today I stopped in to look around,my niece was with me and I remembered that they had help wanted postings somewhere.. she inquired and the teenage girl behind the counter was SO rude, full on glaring and rolling of the eyes! NO JOKE. I wish that the manager had been in but hopefully she keeps track and knows what her counter staff is like when she is gone! I will go to party Cake shop from here on...There are too many great places to put up with attitude! | 01
|
I stopped in after breakfast at The Dor-Stop to see what they had to offer. Potomac has yummy pastries at a good price. That's pretty much all I can say. They have a wide variety of goodies to choose from, something to make everyone happy I'm sure. It seemed like every time I asked, \""What is that?\"" I wouldn't even let the woman behind the counter finish her description before I would reply, \""I'll take one of those.\"" I will definitely return. | 12
|
One of the best pastries I've had in my life I got here. I think it's called a \""French bearclaw.\"" | 12
|
Pastries are nice but I bought a cake for my sisters bridal shower and they PUT THE WORDING ON THE CAKE INCORRECTLY! it was a Saturday and \""could not call a baker in to fix it so they could refund me the cake and just take this one, go somewhere else to buy a new cake, or try to fix the writing ourselves and just remove the word that was INCORRECT.\"" I spent hours on the phone with the manager and she was not very helpful or empathetic to the situation. \n\nI then went to go pick up another cake for my sister for her husbands birthday and THE CAKE TOPPLED OVER IN THE BOX IN THEIR OWN FRIDGE! I asked the lady if this happens often and she goes nope your just \""special\"". Being really rude about it. They patched the cake up and THEN showed me the cake and THERE WAS A WOODEN STAKE IN THE CAKE to \""keep it together\"". I then said that there is a hole in the cake now and the counter lady said, \""Just smooth the hole over with your finger a little bit.\"" \n\n\nThe counter girls are always rude. I honestly think they don't like me because they are nice to everyone else but myself. But if I would suggest I would NOT go here. | 01
|

We were having a Gender Naming Party for our first baby and we were excited to share this moment with friends and family. When we went to pick up our cake we were extremely disappointed in the way the staff handled our order. The mother to be on picking up the cake found out the gender of the baby! Without her husband! This was supposed to be a surprise at the party but it was on the receipt. How terrible! They knew when we placed the order that this was supposed to be a secret. When confronted with their error they were dismissive, condescending, and there was no effort to compensate her for her pain in finding out the gender at the bakery. We have done wedding cakes here, and many special events over the years. Never again!! Potomac Bakery you should be ashamed. | 01
|
Their baked goods are simple and DELICIOUS. The taste speaks for itself, no frills necessary. Potomac is the best bakery in the South Hills. \nLifelong regular here and I will always be! | 12
|
A Dormont treasure! We love their cookies and pastries, going there for goodies is a time honored special treat. | 12

This was the worst hotel that I ever stayed in. my hubby and I took the smoking room and it stunk sooo bad that I wanted to throw up. I was afraid to sleep in that nasty bed. in the morning at 5am I wanted to leave the room cuz smell was sooo gross that woke me up! I felt so dirty that I took two showers AT Other HOTEL. I never thought that I will have nightmares bcz of bad and stinky hotel. | 01
|
I've never been to Pittsburgh before and I planned on doing some heavy partying and needed a place to crash that was not on the floor so I booked this hotel the day before I drove up. I saw the reviews & ignored them because I figured I'd be drunk and happy enough to dive into a bed.\n\nI checked in around 2am, the girl who checked me in barely said anything to me besides \""initial here and sign here and your room is over there\"". The room smelt like hot dogs, the AC wasn't working at all so I was dripping in sweat all night, none of the lamps worked at all, there were holes in the pillow cases and bedding, there was a tiny blood stain on the sheet, I went down for the continental breakfast at 9:30am (it ends at 10am) and they already stopped serving, the shower was ice cold. I then checked for bed bugs after realizing the shithole I spent the night in last night (coast is clear). I checked out and went back to Baltimore, which seems like heaven on earth compared to Shittsburgh. | 01

Square Pizza is a great Pittsburgh area thing that alot of people just don't understand Beto's is new to me there is Tons of Cheese and Pepperoni and great Sauce very generous with toppings a little expensive but well worth it. If you like this pizza try Osso's in Washington PA. | 12
|
From reading other reviews and dining guides, it looks like this is very much a hit or miss place. Either you love pizza with toppings thrown on after cooking, or you don't. I fall into the later category: I didn't like it at all.\n\nI ordered a slice of cheese pizza and a grilled chicken salad. For the pizza, the crust was salvageable after I pushed aside a good quantity of cheese (most of it). The salad was...nothing short of horrific. Overloaded with fries and (big surprise) more cheese, getting to the lettuce and other toppings took some digging. Eventually, I found bland tomatoes and shredded iceberg lettuce hidden far below.\n\nI don't get this place. | 01
|
Sorry, but our pizza was cold. All nine cuts of it. And the garlic wings didn't taste like garlic. Maybe it was an off night? | 01
|
There are only so many ways to make the American bastardized version of a pizza, but for some reason there are as many \""pizza shops\"" as there are stars in a clear night sky. As they may be stunning to behold, from afar each one is pretty much the same thing. This shop is another place that tosses sauce and cheese on bread and serves it to their patrons. Ok, so they DO have a slightly different take, throwing the cold shredded cheese onto the pie as soon as the dough is out of the oven. This does not melt the cheese, and I do see how the pizza would be cold after heaping on the cheese. Some customers may like it, me, not so much. I tried the Italian hoagie. It was a good size and the meat was flavorful. But that's about it. They put oil on the sandwich, but no other dressing. I expected a nice tangy flavor to compliment the meat but was disappointed. My date ordered a hot sausage hoagie. I didn't sample it, he liked it, but it was way too messy. The bread got soggy and the darn thing fell apart. It looked more like tomato soup with sausage than a sandwich. The staff did seem pretty nice, even trying to keep a smile while dealing with the stress of a busy crowded restaurant. The dining room is also a bit cramped. There are plenty of booths, but the tables are rather close together and hard to maneuver between. Hungry patrons also are constantly getting up to visit the soda fountain. When they are busy, it is a claustrophobic nightmare. | 01
|
This is my Man's favorite pizza place. When he has visited Pittsburgh in the past without me, he sends me picture messages of his slices. On the plane ride coming into Pittsburgh last week, all he could talk about was Beto's. So, when we landed we of course drove right over (after being awake all night on a red eye flight) so that I could taste all that is awesome in Beto's pizza slices. It was very good. We ordered the simple extra cheese pizza. For those of you who are like me (from Oregon where I guess NO pizza is good), this pizza was hot crust, sauce, and minimal melted cheese, with fresh cold mozzarella piled HIGH on top. I have never had a slice of pizza put in front of me with so much cold cheese piled on it before. I wasn't exactly sure how to eat it, but figured it out, and it was very good, different but good. I would take Beto's pizza over Oregon pizza any day. | 12
|
This was just bad pizza. For the money I expect that the toppings will be cooked on the pizza. The cheese and pepparoni were added after the crust came out. Also the mushrooms were out of a can. Do not waste money here. | 01
|
This is the kind of pizza where the toppings are added after the crust is cooked. Cheese included. It's a novelty, and for some folks it's their favorite pizza. The taste is good, if a little weird, but for me, it didn't satisfy my pizza craving.\n\nThis location was crowded and the wait was long, but the people were nice. | 01
|
I absolutely LOVE betos\n\nWhen i first moved to Pittsburgh i actually hated it and refused to get the pizza, so i would just stick with the Italian Hoagie..... Yummmm it is probably the best hoagie in the burgh, no jokes.\n\nThe pizza i grew to, and i assume that some people have to do the same. But boy did i grow to it fast once i did. I remember one day just trying a slice and was in love with it. I think it has to be the sauce, it is so so so so sweet and just abosultely amazing. The cheese is also amazing because it makes the hot cold sensation just that much better. I always get 2 slices, 1 mushroom 1 plain and an italian hoagie with lettuce pickles mayo \n\nI truely cant wait to get back to the burgh to have some betos\n\nA down side to betos is it gets pricey if you eat alot. But hey if thats what good pizza costs then so be it, im happy with it | 12
|
I tried the \""cold cheese and toppings\"" slice that Beto's is famous for. If you have heard about there style of serving pizza, and are wondering what the punch line is, there isn't one. They make a big square tomato-sauce pizza and throw cold shredded cheese and other cold toppings on it, and that's it. There's no secret ingredient or special something that makes it tastes like anything other than what you would get it you grabbed pizza fixings from your kitchen and forgot to bake them.\n \n I guess a lot of people like it, and more power too them. But I don't get it. Ramblin' Boy didn't get it. I see zero reason to agree with people that say that this is the \""best\"" pizza in the region. \n\n Maybe their hoagies will be better. | 01
|
Canned green peppers!?! Way too much cheese. The yinzers seem to like it. The average BMI in that place was probably close to 30 and no wonder; the food is incredibly unhealthy. The pizza crust tasted like Pizza Hut. Maybe this place gets good reviews because it's a unique twist on unhealthy; loads of uncooked mozzarella. | 01
|
Wow, just wow. That was without a doubt the worst \""pizza\"" I've ever had in my life. Maybe you would like it. Do you like all of your toppings out of a can? I didn't even know you could get canned green bell peppers. Do you like your slices of pizza to be covered with a huge several inch thick mound of uncooked mozzarella cheese? If answer is yes, then maybe this place is for you. It is definitely not for me. | 01
|
My first half cooked Pizza!\n\nSo I have heard about Beto's for quite some time now. From my main man, and Dormont's own Anthony Pecora (now), to my other main man, Nick Rockwell, who used to play at Dormont park and eat the pizza as a kid.\n\nMy first imprecision, \""Damn, they didn't cook my pie!\"" I have heard a lot about this pizza but know one has ever said anything about a \""Raw\"": slice of pizza! But to no avail, it was an illusion. It seems as if they cook there pizza and then top it with the toppings....? Strange..? Well, yes it is strange to this jedi, but Beto's knows what they are doing! \n\nThe crust is in word, umm, ahhh, AWESOME! Nice and crunhcy, light and flaky, and also has the moistness of a biscuit.......if that makes any sense. Sauce is also good, nothing crazy, just good ole pizza sauce. The sauce reminds me of Kiddyland Pizza at Kennywood, or it has the feel of Della Sala's Pizza (Verona). \n\nI went with my favorite pizza combination, Mushroom & Onion. I was excited because they use canned mushrooms and loaded them on. Call me weird, but i love canned mushroom on my pizza. Another delight, the onion was sliced into rings. Onions HAVE to be sliced into rings for pie....plain an simple. Diced? One pissed of jedi! Like I said before, raw toppings, so it was a shock to bite into raw cheese and onion. The raw onion went well with the whole Beto's thing they have going on. I was pleased.\n\nI will be back to Beto's and it is a great change of pace. I do not know if it is blaspheme to order the pie \""double cooked\"", but I would like to try that. It would definitely be a knife & fork pie. \n\n * JEDI APPROVED * | 12
|
This \""pizza\"" was the worst food I have ever eaten. | 01
|
I don't get it. Cold cheese and cold pepperoni on my pizza? Why does Pittsburgh have to be so weird? I just got accustomed to fries and coleslaw on my sandwiches but a guy has to draw the line somewhere. And what's with everyone bagging up their extra cheese and taking it home? \n\nMy gut tells me this would be an awesome pizza if only they'd cook it. | 01
|
This is a place you either love or hate I love it! every time I am in Pittsburgh I have to stop in and get enough so I have take home. The pizza is sold by the square slice. The sauce is chunky tomato based and baked with cheese. period. after it comes out of the oven it is sliced and heaped with more cheese and what ever topping you want. I suggest just sticking to the peperoni. The toppings are not cooked, the cheese melts a bit but not all the way and the peperoni is lukewarm at best. My mouth is watering while I write this.

I love this place. Every time I am town I have to stop and pick up a couple cuts. I even take them home with me to Baltimore. They are great even days later. Coming to town in a couple weeks and am I definitely taking some home to my fiance. Cheese cheese and more cheese please. This is my favorite pizza ever. | 12

The pizza was fine. My issue is that, if you aren't like other pizza places with your pricing, you should maybe tell me that when I call to order a medium with two toppings. We ended up with a $36 pizza that will take us days to eat, when I THOUGHT I ordered a medium with pepperoni and sausage on half. All young kids working there. No professionalism. No explaination of anything. 50 cents per slice for every topping? Well yeah we got 14 slices, so do the math. NOT a medium. Boxed up horribly, so on our 3 minute ride home, the box was leaking grease out of the corner. I was so upset over spending nearly $40 on something that I thought would be cheap and easy, I couldn't even enjoy the pizza. Its just whatever pizza anyway. \n\nSave your money and go to Slice on Broadway. 1/3 of the price, staff is wonderful, and they have a liquor license and fair prices. Slice should get half the publicity this place gets. \n\nNever mind that I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life and have never heard of Betos until I moved 3 streets behind it. NOT a \""Pittsburgh institution.\"" | 01
|
Great food and great pricing. | 12
|
No way. A ton of cold shredded cheese thrown on top of pizza? No no no. No beer either. | 01
|
Been going here for years, and will continue...I agree with some of the others, you will either love it or hate it.. It's just different, but classic in its own way... Square cut pizza with cold toppings... So frigging good...just let the cheese melt..... | 12
|
I knew the original owner of Beto's and she would be furious for what is being done to it, now. If the pizza slice gets any smaller, you'll have to call it a breadstick. There was almost NO meat, on my Italian hoagie, which used to be the best around. Whoever recently took over, should be ASHAMED. Betos now STINKS. | 01
|
Worse than store freezer pizza. What with the cold cheese on top of hot pizza? Terrible. If you want quality; Fiori's is a few miles away. | 01

First off, had my boyfriend not told me that every topping on the pizza was cold (including the cheese!), I would have never known. They should really have an illuminated sign that advises the customers.\n\n I'm sure you have gathered that this pizza is kind of presented exactly like frozen pizza from the store except the bread is cooked. I think the appeal to this place is that it is different - Some people go to restaurants where you can cook your own food because it's different but the fact of the matter is that when I go out to eat, I don't expect to cook it myself and I don't expect it to come half cooked. \n\nHad this pizza been cooked, I feel like it would be subpar. The crust was very crispy and the sauce was a standard tomato (no extra hints of basil or pepper). The peperoni reminded me of the peperoni that comes in Lunchables - actually the whole pizza reminded me of a Lunchable (except a pie made of 28 cuts is $35.28 with $.50 per topping a CUT!) To be fair, each cut is $1.30 and you only need 3-4 to really, really be full. They really lay on the toppings - about an inch of cheese, 20 slices of peperoni and a handful of banana peppers for just two cuts with toppings\n. \nI feel that you really need to be in the mood for Betos before you go there. When I am in the mood for pizza, I am heading for the flowing, stringy cheese and the flavors melting together before it hits my mouth. I would eat here again if I get the craving - some people in the restaurant had ordered other menu items that looked to be pretty good. I wouldn't take somewhere here as a Pittsburgh Destination though. \nThere is about 10 tables in the restaurant (booths/tables) ... clean/reputable. | 01

Good pizza as well as other great menu options. Good prices too. | 12

Didn't live up to my expectations at all. Waste of time and money. Sloooooow service. | 01

My husband and I had this pizza for the first time last night. He suggested it after hearing recommendations from friends. This was the most disgusting excuse for a pizza I've ever had! We ordered pizza for pick up. The girl told my husband 20 minutes and he picked our pizza up in a timely fashion. The best thing about this pizza was the crust. That was it! It was cold! It was not even warm like it had been warmed up before my husband picked up our order. We got two extra toppings, which were just heaped in a pile on the middle of our slices. These were cold too. And mushrooms from a can!!! Why am I paying extra for disgusting canned vegetables. The sauce had absolutely no flavor and was completely cold. I would never go to this place ever again. It was a lazy excuse for a pizza. Who gives someone a COLD pizza for pick up?!?!? | 01
|
I love Beto's pizza! It is not always the same though. Occasionally you get a day when it's off. It is also not for everyone. Tons of unmelted cheese, whole tomatoes, very crispy crust. If your up to try something different, Beto's is it. Their hoagies are also very good. They aren't super expensive, and I like how you can get as many cuts as you want. Sometimes I just don't want a whole pizza! | 12
|
Either you get it or you dont. \n\nThe cold cheese might sound weird, the toppings being cold might not sound good, just shut up and try it. This pizza is unlike any you've had before but if you like pizza it is a must have. I dont make a trip to Pittsburgh with out stopping by Betos. The toppings are plentiful, the cheese is ridiculous and the crust is super crispy. Love this place. | 12

Whaaaat?! Noone's reviewd Scoops? This place is the ultimate hangout. Young and old alike. The prices are average, the flavors are plentiful, and the staff is always friendly (always a plus on my list.) \n\nIt's a few blocks from my house and I remember on hot summer days grabbing my sisters, yelling upstairs to our parents \""We're going to Scoops!\"" and walking up there. We'd taste the flavors we were trying to decide over (they give you little spoons to do this!) and then we'd pick. There's also an assortment of frozen yogurt, sorbet, milkshakes, toppings, candy, and sodas, too! After paying, we'd take our cones outside and sit on the steps chatting well into dusk. \n\nMany people come here all year round. Everyone in the neighborhood knows each other and you're bound to run into someone you know.\n\nGreat place for ice cream and making memories. | 12

Sweet little shop - great place to take the kiddos, and nice to see a huge selection of hand dipped cones and it's a nice departure from the yogurt bars. | 12

I've never, EVER experienced such poor customer service before at any beer distributor. Yes, I called them and asked for a price on ordering a case of import beer. When they called me back with the price, I decilned purchase. I was talking at the same time to another distributor who was doing a lot more leg work for me tracking down the supply chain. When he informed me he could have a case shipped to wherever I bought my beer, I gave him Banksville Beer's name thinking I was giving them some extra business. I don't normally get my beer from there. When I stopped into Banksville to pick it up, a person who I assume was the owner got immediately defensive with me, raised his voice saying \""You told me you didn't want it.\"" I tried to explain what had happened, but he continuously interupted me with a constantly rising voice level barely allowing me to get a word in. He claimed he did not speak to the guy I had spoken to, which was obviously a lie since he referred specifically to \""that person you (meaning me) talked to.\"" I finally had to cut him off and say, \""Listen, do you have the case here or not?\"" He said they did not, so I left.\n\nI can understand his frustration if what I did caused him any loss or inconveneince, but he did not need to take the majorly unprofessional approach that he did. I honestly had no idea that I did anything wrong, and on the contrary thought I had actually done them a favor. Had he explained the circumstance, it would have been no harm, no foul and lesson learned. And I just would have asked them to order me a case straight out and would have returned for more cases to be orderd in the future. But because of that reaction, I will NEVER step foot in there again under any circumstance. No beer is worth dealing with a world class A-hole like that. | 01

Eat'n Park is known for their \""Smiley\"" cookie (like a chewy black-and-white sugar cookie, but white, with a smiley face drawn in icing). My wife insisted on going to Eat'n Park on our trip to Pittsburgh. But she hates the Smiley cookie. What drew her was the strawberry pie.\n\nThe pie itself merits four stars. It's inexpensive ($2.99, and a whole pie is less than $10) and bursting with fresh, huge berries.\n\nFried zucchini ($5-6) is listed as an appetizer, but is enough for a meal, and comes from a local farm in Butler. The freshness really shows in the taste. It's breaded with a cornmeal batter, which produced some really tragic consequences for me an hour later. 90 minutes after that, however, I no longer regretted eating the fried zucchini. Yes, it was that good. I wouldn't do it again, mind you, but in retrospect, it was worth it. | 12
|
Mediocre and poorly made! You can get better quality food from Mcdonalds don't waste your time or money | 01
|
I would give this eat n park location zero stars if I could. I arrived at 11:15am and was seated quickly but that was about it. My waitress did not come over until 11:41. I did not receive water or any service for 26 minutes. That is outrageous to me, I've never had anything good to say about this location and will not be visiting again. | 01
|
We come here a LOT and are usually quite happy. The fried pickles are ridiculously good!! Decent off street parking, good selection, open 24 hours and the staff is usually great. | 12
|
My experience here was not good my family and I were seated all the way in the back of the Resturant near an exit after passing at least six tables upfront. We were the ONLY African Americans in the restaurants not even one as a busboy we had some stares but no one was rude just very quiet . The waitress tried to make us feel welcome so we thank her for that but the feeling was uneasy and on top of all that, the food wasn't good it lacked lots of flavor \nI wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone keep driving | 01

Who does not love a DQ Blizzard? And I heart the Girl Scout Thin Mint Blizzard. Next time, I will get the mini size. The small filled me up before I finished! | 12

This store will not let you photograph their lighting fixtures. We browsed for a while and found a chandelier we liked, and my husband took a picture of it on his cell phone. The salesclerk told us that was not allowed. We were dumbfounded. We are renovating a house and need a number of light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc.-- the only way we can keep track of them all (and check if they actually might look good together) is to photograph everything we're seriously considering. We tried to explain this and the clerk said nope, not allowed. We asked why. She said, \""I don't know-- they just don't allow it.\"" Well I bet I know-- they don't want you going online in search of better pricing. But hey, NEWSFLASH-- that's how things work in 2012. I'm not going to drop $1,200 on a chandelier without looking it up online. (For the record, I understand that local businesses aren't usually going to have the lowest price available. I don't mind paying a bit of a premium to support a small business in Pittsburgh that gave me great in-person service. But like hell am I going to spend that kind of money without making sure I'm not getting completely ripped off.)\n\nWe tried to press further, though-- what about matching finishes or colors to other fixtures? The salesclerk said, \""Oh, people just tell us what colors they have in their room and how big the room is and we tell them what works.\"" I'm sorry, but unless you're omniscient, this is not acceptable. \n\nThe most insulting thing, though, is the clerk telling us \""I don't know\"" about a policy that's so clearly the exception to the local norm. If you're going to have a ridiculous, anachronistic rule, at least have the guts to explain why to customers when they ask. | 01

When my favorite lamp stopped working, I went to Lighting by Erik because they were close to my home. I was initially pleased by the private parking lot as parking can be an issue in that area. The service I received was outstanding.. I was told that I could save about $30 by fixing the lamp myself, and was directed to the technicion who quickly showed me the parts and how to do the repair. I was very impressed by his expertise and customer service, and learned he has been doing this for 45 years. They really went out of their way to help me out on the spot, and it made my morning. I was also impressed by their chandelier selection and will definitely visit again to shop. | 12

I can't believe this place hasn't been reviewed. If you are thinking about going here know this:\n\nIf you grew up in the South Hills, all the people from high school that turned out to be real losers will be hanging out here. (Hey, I've been there, so I am not throwing stones.)\n\nIt is otherwise your typical South Pittsburgh yinzer bar. There is always a seat, and there are free pretzels. | 01

Almost but not quite perfect. Cain's is a well-priced smoke free 1/2 bar 1/2 sports restaurant hybrid. The front has tall tables and chairs (like bar stool height) and the back has booths and 6 flatscreen TV's. The whole place was redone in 2009 when a new owner bought it, who bought Redbeards in Mt. Washington and totally redid it. The chef is from Grand View, a fantastic actual restaurant, not bar restaurant. So you're basically getting, at normal bar food prices, truly excellent bar food. Seems like the truly scuzzy clientele that someone 3 years ago mentioned have been evaporated to cheaper Dormont bars. The patrons here are more of the youngish (under 40) Mt. Lebanon variety.\n\nThe vegetable wrap is phenomenal, the burgers are great, and the \""Codfather\"" gigantic fish sandwich is simply amazing, the best outside of Wholey's. The \""Codfather\"" is prepared 3 ways - \""Part 1\"" is tartar, lettuce tomato, \""Part 2\"" is coleslaw, fries and hot sauce and I forget what \""Part 3\"" is. The onion rings are beer battered (not breaded) and fried to perfection. They taste moderately of beer, the true hallmark of excellent rings. The food you're getting here isn't pushing any envelopes but it absolutely is the best bar food in Pittsburgh. Apparently they have a $5 \""express lunch\"" that includes a 1/2 sandwich and soup or salad. Never had it but that's extremely cheap.\n\nBeer is fairly priced; Sam Adams and Blue Moon are $3.50 while Yuengling, Coors & Miller are about $2.50, $2 on special. Everything else is under $5.50.\n\nWing night Wednesdays the good: 25 cent wing night. Best wings I've had in the 'burgh. Wing night the bad: they charge 50 cents per ranch or blue cheese dressing, effectively making 10 wings (the minimum order, which they DON'T disclose) $3 rather than $2.50 which makes it more like 30 cent wing night. Nor do they include celery/carrots, as they do on the menu for regular wing orders. This is the first Wednesday (wing night) they've done this upcharge. I don't mind 30 cent wings, I just like honesty up front. They also don't let you take the wings home that you don't finish. Sorry, but I want two flavors and don't want to weigh 300 pounds so I'm only gonna eat 12-14 wings. We threw away at least a dozen between the 2 of us. People go hungry in this city every night and that's a crime.\n\nThe mild buffalo wings are more like medium buffalo wings and are excellent, as are the orange ginger wings. The bbq and honey bbq are what you'd expect. The jalapeno cheddar is fake nacho cheese and pickled jalapenos on top - NOT what we expected and not what we'd get again but still very good.\n\nService is good 4/5 times. It's slower with wing night; only 2 servers for the whole place.\n\nDefinitely go here for the Codfather and the veggie wrap. Get onion rings as your side. Oh! And get a salad too; they use spring mix and baby spinach and make almost all of their dressings. | 12

Yum. \n\nI love when places surprise you! Brunch is my passion so I am always on the hunt for new spots. I love the Pamela's scene but sometimes you need that bloody mary to hold you off until you can dig into your home fries. \n\nBLOODY MARY BAR, O HEY! \n\nPros: breakfast and booze, huge portions ( I got a side of oatmeal and it was double a meal portion), CHEAP!!!!, Early hours \n\nCons: Parking is a bitch, slower (a huge party sat before us though) \n\nDef will be back for some day drinking | 12

I've been to Cain's quite a few times, since I live right down the street.\n\n\nThe best times I have had at Cain's consist of myself going into the establishment with the predetermined mentality of spending way too much for drinks ( $7.00 for a Jameson and Ginger!!??) and already being three sheets to the wind. \n\nDon't get me wrong, if you like going to a place that mildly reminds me more of a mosh pit at times than an actual drinking establishment, you would love Cain's. Definitely, avoid going on the weekends.\n\nBut, I will admit that Cain's is an awesome place to post up at the bar, drink a few beers, and catch a Pen's game on one of their million TV's. \n\nBottom line : This place is not a place where you and your buds can go and get poopy drunk at. Cains is, at best, a bar where you stop during a bar crawl for a beer and a shot. \n\nNothing more, and nothing less. | 01
|
It was our first visit to Cains and we were very pleased. Food was very good and reasonably priced. We will be back if ever in Dormont | 12

This was a solid stop for a lunch with my grandma and my mother. As we drove by, my mother said, \""Oh, Cain's that place brings back memories.\"" So, I told her to pull on over because we were going in.\n\nAfter seeing the abundant sauces, I had to go with the wings. I was very happy with them. The sauces were plentyful and very different. I got the mild garlic parm and the signature Mean Green, which was a mix of peppers. Both were delicious and came with carrots, celery, and ranch free of charge!!\n\nMy mom's mushroom chicken wrap was huge and delicious, and her sweet potato waffle fries were great. They could have been a little more crispy, but that is just how I like them.\n\nNow my grandma's sandwich was good, but it were the homemade chips that had me in love. They were phenomenal. Next time I night jut make a meal out of their chips. | 12

This place is another that is undeserving of your hard earned money!! The following is an email that I sent to the owner, it will shed a little light as to why I feel this way...I will also share his response, and what ultimately became of the situation. I know this one is long winded, but you should be forewarned about giving them your money!\n\nI have been to your bar many times, and I have had both good and less than average experiences, but this past Saturday was terrible! My girlfriend and I came to have some dinner around 9 pm. We knew it would be crowded due to the Penguin game, and that wasn't a problem. When we arrived, there were no seats at the bar or tables available anywhere. We decided to have a beer and wait. After the game was over, some tables opened up so we sat in an empty booth in the back and waited. After about 5 minutes, a waitress came over, cleaned our table, and made notice of the fact that we still had drinks. Sadly, this was the last time that she ever came to our table. We placed our closed menus at the end of the table...nothing, we put our empty glasses at the end of the table with the menus...nothing. We sat and waited for more than 15 minutes. All the while we were waiting, another group of four sat the table next to us, they were never given any attention. They got up and left after being completely ignored. I understand that the restaurant was busy, and that service and wait times may be impacted, but the way we were treated (or lack of being treated) was appalling. It was especially annoying to watch the server that initially cleaned our table giggling and carrying on with two other booths that appeared to be friends with her on the other side of the dining room and then when she was done she just casually walked over to another empty table picked up something off of it and went into the kitchen without even taking a look around the dining room. At this point we were disgusted and got up and left, I was annoyed and made mention of how awful the service in the back was to the doorman. The waitresses in the back were terrible and seemed to have no sense of urgency or seem to care about most of the customers, with the exception of the few tables that they were more interested in socializing with. This seems to be a problem, because on some of my past less than stellar experiences, the disappointment was again with the service from the back servers. On those occasions it was the same thing, they seemed to be more interested in being social butterflies than providing any sort of service. You don't need to improve your wait staff, you need to replace some of them, at least the people working the back dining room on this past Saturday, they were completely useless! Will I come back to your restaurant, I'm not sure. The food is good, but I work hard for my money, and I expect to receive more than good food in exchange for it. \n\nSincerely,\n Matt K.\n\nHere is the response that I got\n\nPlease give me a call (412)555-1212 to discuss the matter. I'm sorry & will make every attempt to make sure this doesn't happen again.\nThank you for making me aware of the situation.\nJoey DeMarco \n\nI promptly called him as soon as I got this email. It went to voice mail , so I left a message. That was it, the guy didn't even have the decency to return my phone call. It is amazing that this is how business owners expect to keep people coming through their doors and handing over their hard earned money. Support local businesses, but make sure they are deserving of your money! | 01

HELLO new neighborhood watering hole! \n\nThis place is legit! Moving to the new hood in Dormont means finding a new go to bar. I need a my hood bar to have a good selection of beer (I accept Yuengling and hopefully a rotating seasonal list) and good bar food. Good bar food doesn't have to be good. I mean, it has to be good, but it doesn't have be gourmet poutine, if you know what I'm sayin'? \n\nCain's totally surprised me because they have a mega beer list, with lots of drafts on tap, and this particular night Southern Tier Pumking was in the hizzouse! Their menu is HUGE too! Tons of faves like wings and burgers but the intriguing \""Codfather,\"" which I will take part in at some point! I was in the mood for a Rachel, because well, why not... it's my name! \n\nThe Rachel was awesome, with a good amount of turkey, but not overwhelming and lots of coleslaw, which is totally how I like it! The rye was fresh and toasted and it all came together perfectly. But the fries, the fries win my seal of approval! They were crisp and seasoned correctly, which is a winning fry in my opinion. \n\nI'll see you soon Cains, and will be working my way through your extensive draft list and food menu on the reg! | 12
|
Have heard that Cain's serves a mean breakfast. Sure enough, they do!\nA large menu to select from and a Bloody Mary bar. \nMany big groups and families chowing down. \nIt was crowded but when we walked in there was an empty table. \nService was pretty good. It did take a little while for the food to come out but the place as packed and we were not in any hurry. \nMy fritata was good and the home fries were good too.\nJust get there before noon, if you want breakfast. | 12
|
Great beer on tap selection. Stopped there for lunch recently and had a salad that will bring me back there again soon. Many, many TVs in the bar area, so this would be a great place to watch a sporting event. | 12
|
Went here because the Chinese restaurant a couple of doors down from Cain's that we were going to was closed. The noise in this place is over the top, so much so that we couldn't have a conversation. We were hungry so we stayed and I'm glad. I got the \""Cod father 2\"" with a side of onion rings. This comes served with french fries and coleslaw and hot sauce served on top. I asked if all the stuff be served on the side because I'm picky about coleslaw. This is a great sandwich, even deconstructed. The cole slaw is creamy without being soggy and the fries are fresh.The onion rings were stellar. My companion got a rubin and she said that it was pretty good.I was too full, but she got a brownie with ice cream and she was very pleased. | 12
|
This place is just average. The service is subpar at best and the waitresses always seem rushed. However, their wings and wing flavors are good, and they have so many tv's there isn't a bad seat in the house if you're there for a game. Now that the parking lot across the street is gone, good luck looking for a spot. I would go back, but only for the wings and the spicy cheese bites. | 01
|
Great place to watch a game. Friendly staff went out of their way to get my game on even though the Steelers were on at the same time. | 12
|
I just moved in the neighborhood and don't have my laundry room set up yet. I went here to wash my bed sheets and it was a pretty typical laundromat. The woman working was very friendly and helpful (telling me the best machines to use for what I was doing) | 12
|
Pretty good laundromat, though not without it's...quirks.\n\nSince my apartment doesn't have a laundry room, this is the closest laundromat for me to wash my clothes. \n\nWhat I like about this place is that it's bright, pretty clean, and the attendant is very friendly. If you go at a good time (weekday evening or early morning on weekends) it's also pretty empty -- which I like. They also have a little sitting area to hang out in, rather than having to lean against your washing machine.\n\nThe downside is that it's more expensive than other laundromats I've been to, and the dryers are pretty tricky (some take forever to dry your clothes, some run too hot, sometimes make your clothes smell like gas... not sure about that last one) so that part is a bit of a guessing game.\n\nOverall, the positives outweigh the negatives. Any laundromat you go to is going to have some inconveniences, but this is by far one of the nicer ones I've used. | 12
|
I love this place. Normally, it would have been 4.5 stars, but since they moved to a smoke free environment, it gets a 5 star rating. The staff is quick, friendly and very \""with it.\"" This is a true family business and the food is fantastic. I love the jumbot! It's amazing and hearty. The coffee isn't the best, but the food makes up for it. The french toast and pancakes are lovely too. This is not the place to go if you are dieting as they are GENEROUS with the butter. I like this place way better than Pamelas, which, apart from the strawberry crepes, doesn't really do it for me. It was recently on the Food Network too so I'm not the only one that feels that way! | 12
|
The banana oatmeal pancakes were really special. | 12
