Today was my second time at a Pamela's. During my first trip I made the mistake of 1)not ordering hot cakes 2) dining alone 3)not ordering hotcakes! \n\nI was worried about a wait for a Sunday morning but it was surprisingly only 15minutes. We were seated & greeted promptly. Both of us ordered the morning after breakfast with the strawberry pancakes. The potatoes /home fries were awesome & as another reviewer mentioned it feels as if every bite is different (&fabulous). \n\nSpeaking of fabulous, I'm thankful to have finally experienced the Pamelas hotcake. It was filled with fresh strawberries, sour cream, brown sugar bits.. & every bite was better than the last. Don't let that trio scare or fool you-.it's delicious \n\nNext weekend can't come fast enough to stop back\n\n...forgot to mention it took no time at all for 4 giant plates of food to reach our table.

We heard that this place had amazing pancakes and was always extremely busy. We took our chances and arrived around 9:45am. It was open seating and we were easily able to find a table.\n\nFirst off - you can only pay cash. That is a huge turn off, especially if you are out of town. Personally, I never carry cash and frankly I don't know many people who do. This place isn't worth going to an ATM for.\n\nSeveral people at my table ordered the pancakes so I got french toast. It was incredible eggy. If you like that, then you will like these but I don't prefer to have a layer of egg on my french toast. I tried a friends hot cakes and they were okay. They are super thin and crispy on the outside. I prefer a thick fluffy pancake. :(\n\nI also didn't love the service we received. The server came over with several plates and was extremely rude about us not speaking up enough about whose food was what even though we were telling her it was ours. I wanted a refill on my orange juice but the next time our waitress came around she gave us the bill - thanks!

I had a wonderful breakfast at Pamela's. The food really is delicious, but quite expensive for breakfast! Our bill came to about $40 for 3 people. That's a lot of money for eggs and pancakes!!\n\nWe were a little overwhelmed when we first arrived because the waiting area was packed. They told us only 10-15 mins and it was spot-on, which we were pleasantly surprised about! Our server came to us right away. I could immediately see how fast-paced they work to keep their customers flowing on a busy morning!\n\nEveryone in my group would agree that the best part of the meal was the lyonnaise potatoes. My friend recommended asking for the potatoes to be \""crispy\"" and I'm glad I did. They were absolutely delicious. A crunchy coating on top with soft potatoes and onions underneath. YUM.\n\nI ordered the Gail's eggs which were scrambled eggs topped with green onion and cream cheese. It came with a side of potatoes and two gigantic pieces of bread. The eggs were done perfectly and I although I had never had cream cheese on eggs before, it was delicious!! It's going to be hard to avoid cooking my eggs like that from now on! One of my friends ordered the breakfast special with 2 eggs, meat and a side of their specialty blueberry hotcakes. It falls somewhere between a crepe and a pancake. They cook a giant pancake and roll it up over a variety of fillings. It looks beautiful and tastes delicious! If it's too sweet to order for your whole meal, it's definitely worth ordering as a side for a few to split just to get a taste! My other friend ordered a daily special which was Chorizo hash served with eggs and tortillas. There was a surprising amount of meat and he was very pleased with his meal as well.\n\nThe food is great and I was happy to finally experience this Pittsburgh gem. Prepare to pay more than your typical diner, but you certainly won't be disappointed by the quality!

There are 2 types of \""Good\"" restaurants in Pittsburgh. There is Yinzer good and Actually good. This food is Yinzer good. Way too much butter and sugar. Yuck.
01
Maybe \""yinzer good\"" isn't always such a bad thing. I went here the other morning and was quoted a 25-30 minutes wait time. It took 50 minutes. That seemed to be pretty standard so be prepared for that. Once we got in and ordered, the food came out almost immediately making the wait time more worth it. The hot cakes were delicious but be prepared for more buttery goodness than one should consume in a month. The potatoes were also half butter. I thought they tasted great if not a tad salty. The orange juice is more affordable than in most breakfast places but it wasn't mind blowing, I doubt it was fresh squeezed. My husband ordered eggs and hash which were also good but overly salty. We left feeling stuffed, guilty, and knowing that while the food was tasty our waistlines could only handle eating there once every couple of months.
12
Pamela's is the hottest thing in Pittsburgh, and they have lines of an hour long, going out the door, they don't take reservations, But I'm not sure why they have such high ratings. After waiting for an hour to get seated, we were expecting good food, and in reality, everything was drenched in butter. Everything was super greasy, buttery. Even their hotcakes (which are like crepes - love crepes) they look great, but once you taste them, it's all butter. Our party also tried the French toast and hash browns and those were super greasy too and didn't taste good at all. The reason it's so busy is because it's the only show in town. There are a few of them and there's really nowhere else to go. It's sad. Being from NJ and having many diners that compete with each other, there are some good tasting Diners making good French toast, crepes and hash browns. This was just a joke and DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE WAIT. The service on the other hand, was very good and workers were very nice and helpful.
01
Recommend by several senior student of mine in CMU, finally I came here today for my dear friends birthday. Food in here really amazing and served very fast. Associates in Pamela's also very kind and sweet. But they only receive cash no credit card such a pity. Love this dinning experience and will come back very soon :D
12
We liked everything except the bacon. Another waiter recommended the ham for next time. If you like potatoes be sure to ask for extra crispy. The crepes were great come in a stack of three. I'd suggest getting one or two only. The fresh strawberry were great even though out of season. Definitely will eat here again.
12
Fantastic crepes. Really. The savory ones (like the smoked salmon), the sweet ones, all of them are just plain great. The restaurant is actually a tiny basement of a Shadyside-style home. They try hard to make it feel like France by making it narrow, crowded, lacking air conditioning, and cash-only. Those are the drawbacks, but it adds to the authenticity I suppose. Also, they have Evian and Orangina, which is always nice. If you need breakfast - can't beat the crepes here. Go, eat, have fun, forget where you are for a while.
12
Unless you've been here before, let me warn you about the \""unspoken house rules\"": \n\n1. Order first (do not try and sit down).\n2. Wait for your food while standing.\n3. Find a seat (if one is available).\n\nUnder no circumstances should you sit down before placing an order. And if the place is full, don't try and sit down without food in your hands, unless you want to be made an example of.\n\nMy wife and I (who frequent restaurants several times a week) have never experienced anyone quite as rude as the woman behind the counter at this place. We had never been here before and when we walked in, my wife sat down at a table and I went up to place our order.\n\nLittle did I know the house rules (see above) and after the people in front of me ordered, the obnoxious cashier pointed to our table and to another table (of newbies) and said to the person who just placed the order: \""you can either sit there or there\"", with the tact of, say, General Patton. She never asked us to get up or explained the \""unwritten rules\"" to us. An \""excuse me, but you need to order first before you sit down\"" would have sufficed.\n\nSo, my wife got up and we walked out of this place. The food could very well be good - but with waitstaff like this woman - there are plentty of other places around town with not-so crummy service that I'd prefer to spend my money.
01
I had a salmon crepe here & it was delicious - broke me out of the habit of mostly eating dessert crepes. The only downside is that they only take cash... but there is an ATM just down the street. This is a great place to meet up with an old friend or acquaintance.
12
I travel to Pittsburgh pretty often, and the owner who cooks the crepes recognizes my wife and me every single time we're there.\n\nThe crepes are excellent, the prices are more than reasonable, and as long as you don't go there during a peak period, it's never too crowded.
12
The crepes served by this establishment might very well be the culinary embodiment of a mind-exploding, toe-curling, orgasm. I say, \""might be\"" because on my recent (and last) trip there I didn't have an opportunity to sample them. In fact, I didn't eat anything at all.\n\nPlease let me explain.\n\nThe restaurant is located in the basement of a building off of Walnut Street. Customers are expected to wait in a line that stretches from the entrance, through the main dining area, to a counter where the crepes are ordered and cooked. It's a horrendous setup for multiple reasons. \n\nFirst, there aren't many tables. When I went there on a Saturday morning, there were at least 20 people standing in line for the ten or so small tables. Second, the restaurant expects you to wait in line, standing next to tables of patrons who are eating their food, until a table becomes free. At that point, the woman at the counter takes the next order, a man begins preparing the crepes, and the front of the line is seated while everyone else continues to wait. Those who have waited long enough, are finally able to sit, while hungry and impatient diners-to-be stand next to their table and wait some more.\n\nIt's a horrible atmosphere, and not one conducive to a pleasant dining experience.\n\nThe dining space is poorly designed, so that the line of waiting patrons snakes directly though the middle of the cramped dining area. Which means that when you are waiting, you are continually bumped by servers shuttling food to the tables and dirty dishes back to the kitchen. When you are eating, you are likely to: 1) have a bunch of hungry people staring at you eat, waiting for you to leave your table, so that they may be seated; and/or 2) have a standing person's ass within a few inches of your head. What a great dining atmosphere!\n\nWhat's all the more annoying is the lackadaisical work ethic of the people who prepare the crepes. More than once during my wait, the man making the crepes just stood around, not making any food, waiting for another table to open, so a party's order could be taken, and he could then prepare the next order. \n\nAfter waiting 15-20 minutes while hungry, becoming increasingly annoyed at being bumped at least 2 dozen times by serves traversing the line, and then seeing the owner stop making food until another order was taken, I said to myself, \""enough of this nonsense\"".\n\nMy party and I left to go to another restaurant. I've not eaten any crepe in the world that would justify a long wait under such annoying circumstances, and I will not be back.

There are two locations, one just off Walnut Street in Shadyside and one on Craig Street in north Oakland. The hours are quite limited, but I like the French neighborhood cafe vibe. \nThe crepes and coffee are really good, and they have a great selection of French tea. The place is quite hectic, however. As everyone said, wait in line to order, then get a table. I have been in both locations many times, and it has never been a problem, though it does seem a bit weird at first. \n As for the service, it seems that their attitude is to give any rudeness you give them right back. Be polite, and they will treat you accordingly.
12
The crepes here are good. They are tasty and they have a variety. \n\nHowever, the crepes are extremely over price. So over price that I cannot afford a drink.\n\nFinally, the staff is extremely rude and LOVES to make loud examples of people not familiar with their system. I've chosen never to eat here again due to the staff.
01
Fantastic savory and sweet crepes. The light and very tasty crepes are served with a small salad topped with mandarin oranges and a champagne vinaigrette. I have tried the salmon with creme fraiche, ham and cheese with their soytang sauce and plain butter with sugar. \n\nThe place gets a bit crowded around noon and they have a pretty strict policy about ordering before you choose a seat. Also, they only take cash (crepes run $7-9 plus $2 drinks).\n\nThey may have some mildly unpleasant/unpopular 'rules' but I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal here and plan on returning.

French crepes are not the easiest food item to prepare and I certainly wasn't expecting Cordon Bleu quality. That said, I found the crepes to be overly thick and the filling, while tasty, too skimpy and thus overpowered by the crepes wrap. But it was the attitude of the owner that turned me off the establishment. I was in Pittsburgh visiting a relative with terminal cancer at the nearby hospital ; she had requested a breakfast crepes so I found Cafe Parisiennes through Yelp. We were in a hurry because of limited visiting hours. The sign said the Cafe opened at 10:00AM, which was when we arrived. We could see staff inside and asked if we could come in. The owner very curtly informed us they were still closed and might be ready \""in ten minutes\"" or so. After another ten minutes, we asked if we could wait inside because of the cold. Again the owner was brusque and not at all apologetic for being 20 minutes late opening - on a busy Saturday morning!! When I tried to engage him while giving my order, I found him to be taciturn and argumentative; it was clear his young staff were feeling very uncomfortable watching the exchange. This is not the kind of attitude for anyone in a service business and I would definitely not recommend this establishment to anyone.
01
Closed on Monday's? And closed 5/30 to 6/1? Wow. The prices on the menu don't seem that bad. But i still cant get over the fact there closed on Mondays. There is a sign posted \""help wanted\"" so if anyone reads this and needs a job check this place out. And tell them to open on Mondays. BOOOOO, if they weren't closed I would have never found Square Cafe.
01
We went here on Saturday morning. To explain our devotion to this place, I should say that we drove down from Butler in order to get our crepes fix before our friend's early afternoon wedding. You see, we used to go here every Friday after our first (and last) class of the day in college. It was/is a mild obsession- a love affair of sorts.\n\nWhen we got here just before 10:00, we saw that it wasn't open yet. It was slightly odd that we stood outside until 10:15 before they opened the door. I think that instead of making customers wait, they should just open the restaurant later, but whatever.\n\nWe walked downstairs and got in line at the register. I was so happy to see that nothing had changed- I ordered the mixed veggie crepe with soytang sauce, and a nonfat cafe au lait. They only accept cash, so come prepared. I paid, took our number, and sat down. The space is really small, so it does fill up, but it's perfectly cozy. Our crepes were as good as ever, and including my coffee drink, my bill came in at just over $10.00.\n\nThe owner is very friendly, and normally behind the crepe maker. This is a great place to have brunch or dessert- they also have sweet crepes (Nutella and banana is my favorite)- so be sure to check it out. It's right off of Walnut Street, so you can easily stop in before or after an afternoon of shopping.

Well, to start, crepes aren't a Parisian concept. They are solely a Brittany thing! Therefore, the fact that this chain of restaurants carries a name like Crepes Parisiennes is pretentious. That aside, the crepes are okay, nothing special. I've had much lighter (crepes here were a bit heavier than they should be) and more authentic crepes elsewhere. The other thing I do not like about this place are their hours. They are closed by 4pm and on Mondays, and stop serving savory crepes at 3pm???
01
I love it here. It's so cute inside and so French. I honestly don't know how \""French\"" it actually is because I've never been to France, but from what I imagine France to be like, it's French. \n\nThe crepes, sweet or savory are delicious!! I think I prefer the sweet ones. Anything with nutella is so good. It's a good place to go for brunch with a friend. I can't wait to go when I get home again.\n\nThe wait staff is really friendly and you can watch them make crepes too! It's cool how they do it. I give props because I tried making crepes before.. and it's really hard to get it nice and thin.\n\nI like how the seating works too because you order and then sit down.. but sometimes there's not enough seats so that's an issue, but the staff knows that and won't make your food until you have somewhere to sit so it's not like you're standing around with food and nowhere to sit.
12
Pompous manager hung up on me twice (!) when I called to ask about wait times. Have never boycotted a restaurant until now. Mediocre crepes don't entitle that sort of bush league behavior!
01
You come here for the first time, you may think you're walking into some mystery basement. You come here with a friend who's also never been here, they may think you're taking them somewhere scary. Thankfully, neither of those are true! \n\nAs soon you walk in the door, you're comforted by the fact that it's just a cozy little basement restaurant! Coming here at 2pm on a weekday, you'll also be joining the ladies who lunch, just fyi, this is Shadyside after all! I actually got the idea to come later (after the lunch rush) because of the Yelp reviews. Good thing I did because the ladies who lunch had taken every table except for one!\n\nLooking at the menu, the first thing that struck me was that this wasn't a lunch place! Most of the crepes are of the sweeter persuasion. Which is usually a-okay with me, but I was starving for some sustenance, so I needed to go with the savory. I choose the veggie crepe, with mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes. The crepe itself was nice and fluffy, with a good amount of veggies in the middle. I thought it was the perfect amount and even came with a nice side salad, which included mandarin oranges. \n\nNow I know a lot of you will say, why not just go for the sweet then, but I've gotta have my savory before I have my sweet. I know, I'm a weirdo! But, I had a little bit of my friends dark chocolate and banana crepe and it was just a delicious teaser to what will most certainly be my future dessert here! \n\nHot Tip: Cash only! Come on off peak times because it's tiny and you'll be hard pressed to find a seat during lunch hours or Saturday/Sunday brunch.
12
Truly one of my favorite breakfast spots in Pittsburgh. The crepes are always cooked to perfection and the coffee is absolutely amazing. Inconveniences include being cash only and being very, very tiny so getting a table might require some patience on a busy weekend morning...\n\n...but it is totally worth the wait. The sweet crepes are my favorite, but I'm just a sucker for anything that involves fruit and nutella.
12
The two stars are for the food only. Otherwise, negative stars would be in effect. WHO on earth could possibly find this place worth returning to? What a completely miserable experience. The bitchy emo service obviously leaves something to be desired, then again so does the ENTIRE restaurant! Sure, melted cheese in a crepe is good. Know what else is good? ANY melted cheese from any breakfast place and Not having to endure this hell hole. I am just upset that I went there in the early part of my day and am now in a foul mood as a result. I have been in Pittsburgh a few weeks and this place is without rival the worst brunch I've ever had (PA or CA) So, the one positive thing about it IS.... it has made me appreciate every other sub par brunch I've had up until this point. Absolutely will never return. EVEN THE Orange juice was bad. Are you kidding?
01
I've never had a bad meal at this restaurant. The quality and consistency is excellent. The owner is the head chef, And will come to recognize you if you are a repeat customer. The ordering and seating routine is a little unusual. You stand in line and place an order and then get a number. Only then are you supposed to sit at a table. This does make sense since people cannot just sit at a table when there's a long line of people waiting to order. Just an FYI. The crapes are simple, but always good. I usually get the tomato and cheese and add an egg. The coffee is okay. I only wish they opened a little bit earlier.

Like the waiter and waitress there

Wait, how have I not reviewed Crepes Parisiennes?\n\nI first fell in love with crepes in my early teenage years, when a crepe shop opened up in my hometown of State College. Yes, the town that is best known for its love of football and binge drinking once had a restaurant that sold crepes that were practically transcendent, stuffed with anything you could imagine. Not surprisingly, it didn't last long, and my heart broke when it closed and I could only get my crepe fix on my yearly family vacations to Disney World.\n\nIn my sophomore year of college, I studied abroad in Italy, and rediscovered my crepe obsession when I found them in a British-style pub. A trip to Paris for four days had me eating the simple street version each day for breakfast. And then I returned to State College, crepeless and sad. How excited was I when I moved to Pittsburgh and found Crepes Parisiennes? I don't even think I need to answer that question.\n\nThese are GOOD crepes. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The topping list is unfortunately very limited. They don't have many veggies, they only have one type of cheese, and they don't have bacon for your breakfast crepe or strawberries for your dessert crepe. Still, you can't really go wrong with any of the combinations.\n\nI came back to State College and tried the new crepe shop in town, and it sucked. It made me realize that I totally take Crepes Parisiennes for granted. The food might be simple, but trust me when I say Pittsburgh is lucky to have it!
12
I have been shopping at EB Pepper since it was in the Ross Park Mall (Well over 15 years ago!!) I have travelled to many cities, both in the US and abroad, and I can honestly say that hands down this is my favorite boutique--no sloppy looks here, feminine, well-made, CHIC and gorgeous clothing--i even tried to shop here pregnant--If you need a cocktail dress or a rehearsal dinner dress OR an amazing suit..i just wish they would have a website...\nLove this place, always will!

Who deleted my review of Sunnyledge?\n\nBack in April, I met a girl for drinks at the Sunnyledge. We had both heard good things about the place and that they had a great martini menu. When we arrived there, however it was a different story. We were met at the door by the hostess (I presume) who did not take our arrival kindly and seemed annoyed that we were there.\n\nWe shrugged it off and went to the bar. The bartender was something else and it seemed as if he was on a variety of drugs. He acted as if he was on the last quaaludes in his posession and moved with a subtle grace most often reserved for Miss Universe pageant constestants. And that's saying something.\n\nThe bartender would disappear for long periods of time, during which we would hear odd sounds coming from the kitchen. Mostly the sounds of silverware banging around. It was as if the hostess and bartender were throwing cutlery at each other in attempts to get us to think just what the hell was going on. We were there for about 2 hours and during that time saw the bartender a total of 4 times. Most of the time he was hiding out in the kitchen. \n\nEven when it came time to get our check, it took about 15 minutes for him to return with my card.\n\nTerrible service that night from an otherwise reputable place. I have no plans on returning.\n\nI hope this isn't deleted again, and if it is, I will make sure it's well known and will take printed copies of this and put them up around Sunnyledge and use every contact I have to get this printed in the Post Gazette and City Paper. I have the means, I have the will.
01
So I always heard good things about Sunnyledge but never stopped in until I went there my junior year at CMU. Biggest mistake of my first 2 years. And yes, I had a fake ID so I could get into most places. \n\nWell, Sunnyledge is kind of a bed and breakfast type lodging but on Fridays from 6-8, they have their happy hour. 1/2 price Martinis. These martinis are unbelievable. They are pretty strong and taste delicious. They have so many different martini's on their menu so just choosing one/two/three/four will take a bit of time to decide each time you re-order.\n\nSo the martini comes in a regular martini glass. Well, you also get the leftover martini mix poured into a small glass container. They put dry ice in your glass before they pour your drink so the drink actually starts to bubble and puff up whisps of smoke which is so cool. There is also a larger piece of dry ice in your glass container which keeps your extra martini cool until you're ready to drink it. \n\nOnce your finished the first glass, you pour what's in the container into your martini glass and voila, it comes out to a second martini. Granted that these martini's are kind of expensive, on half price happy hour, you are pretty much getting 2 martini's for the price of one.\n\nThey also have a free tiny buffet appetizer where they have different things each time. I've had cheese and crackers, bruschetta, cole cuts crackers and cheese, etc..\n\nThe menu isn't too bad either. I had their duck wrap and sliders one time. The fries were different. Not bad. but not exceptional. The only issue I have with the food is that the servings are really small and aren't worth the money you spend on it but if you go there on an empty stomach and end up ordering 4 martini's (8 total drinks) then you will need to get something to eat.
12
*For the bar\n\nWhile looking for places to have Easter brunch, I saw the Sunnyledge appear several times in my searching. They no longer do easter brunch, but they do have their martini bar - which many people seem to rave about. I should have stopped to think twice upon seeing that all 5 reviews here on yelp are at least 2 years old, but I threw caution to the wind and arrived early on a Friday evening.\n\nJust getting off work, I came alone. The location is a historical landmark, a mansion built in 1889, and is the reason they deserve their single star. The mansion, from the lobby in the bar appears beautifully kept. The walls are dark and decorated with wood and stained glass. The furniture is elegant but not stuffy, and the bar was obviously once a den or a library that was converted. The bar is rather small, housing four 2-seat tables, a 4-top, and about 8 spaces at the bar. Behind the bar, light shines through a small collection of liquor bottles. The top of the bar and tables are inlaid with tile patterns and candles are spread throughout.\n\nI browsed the martini menu, not finding much that would suit my palate as it all sounded sweeter, or too far from a martini(tequila, cointreau, and orange juice is closer to a margarita than a martini - and that Jose Cuervo on your top shelf doesn't send a good impression of your margarita). I stuck with the classic, then, and ordered a basic dry gin martini without garnish. \n\nIt was made quickly and without love, shaking instead of stirring, and putting it in an un-chilled glass. Not that there was much to love, while the bottles on the shelf could be called mid-range, the bottles used for my drink and for others were right out of the bottom of the barrel. Banker's Club is the gin of choice here, and Burnett's flavored vodka is the base of most of the drinks on their menu. The martini came(Not filled to the top, seems they measure precisely to include garnish), strong with little vermouth, but given the alcohol, devoid of any flavor but ethanol and a hint of citrus.\n\nI found as I drank that food is no longer available at all in the hotel as they no longer served as a restaurant, even though signage was still in place throughout the building. I quietly finished my drink and closed my tab. How much did my room temperature Banker's Club cost? A cool $9.\n\nIt appears that somewhere between the last two years and now, this hotel must have come upon hard times or new management. If you are staying at the hotel and need a drink, hop a cab to Walnut street. At least your hassle will be eased by a much better drink.

I usually enjoy shopping at the Gap, but I recently had a really bad experience. I went in to exchange a shirt and when I asked the orange face goblin manager if they had any more he was incredibly rude. First, he wouldn't even look at me when I asked him a if there were any more of the shirt I wanted to exchange, and him immediately told me they did not have any of these. Since I was in a hurry I just decided to return the shirt, then on my way out of the store I saw a whole table display of the shirt in several different colors. The costumer service really ruined my experience.
01
The guy who works here gave me the best customer service and helped me pick out my new favorite jeans. Probably the best experience I have ever had at the Gap.

After a personal call and lengthy discussion on me wanting something unique and different and not a standard vase of flowers in our school colors of white and blue, I was asked if a unique container would be ok and I said that is what I wanted unique and different, from cheerleaders to the other cheer coach, for $100. When I saw that it was a vase of a few blue and white flowers, I was furious and feel ripped off!!! The order my family placed online was so awesome!! A puppy made of flowers in a ceramic pumpkin candy dish!! It was not even $60 including se day shipping!! The photos on his website have several larger arrangements made for $65-85!!! I sent several emails with photos comparing the two and have not received a reply back!! I will be calling!\nBUYERS BEWARE!!!! I guess he thought I would not see then!!
01
Used him a long time ago and to this day I still feel ripped off. Swore up and down to me he could do a job and came up short. very short. Then had the nerve to blame me.\n\nNow he has the nerve to stay open.\nHate this place!
01
Went here after dinner to grab a frosty but gave up after an extended wait. The cashiers were busy chatting with their friends and couldn't be bothered to help anyone in line. The location also seemed a bit sketchy; I'd avoid this one. Try Panera Bread across the street.
01
I will forever remember this drive-through conversation:\n\nWelcome to Wendy's. Can I take your order?\n\nYeah, I'd like a Frescuit. \n\nWe ain't got no hashbrowns!\n\n...um, all I want it a Frescuit. \n\nA'ight... I'm just lettin' you know.
01
In a pinch, Wendy's can do. However, if you're in a hurry, and expect to use the drive-thru and get out, go elsewhere. That is also a good sign, shows that the place has staying power with the constant line of people inside and outside wanting their food. Bad thing, traffic can sometimes be snarled if there is that big of a line that it comes out onto Baum Blvd.\n\nQuick sidenote: if you decide to use the drive-thru, be sure to have used the bathroom prior, not fun to sit there waiting when you really need to use the facilities. It's like that long ride on the turnpike when you already passed the last rest stop for 50 miles.
12
Just like every other Wendy's you've been to, except with slower service! Employees show no sense of urgency. There are two cash registers inside but I've never seen more than one being used at once, no matter how long the line is. Last time I was here, it took 30 minutes from the time I took my place in line until I received my order.
01
what is it with Wendys ? They never get the orders right. If any of the employees would smile I would die from shock. This review applies to many of the Wendys that I have been to. Even in Florida. Do they train them to be rude and ignorant ?

Don't use the drive-thru. I'm not sure why I keep coming here (probably because the food is decent enough and cheap). Every time I'm here, without fail, I can expect to wait no less than 13 minutes in the drive-thru.
01
I visisted this Wendy's often when I first started working nearby in Shadyside. But I quickly learned my lesson. I got tired of spending 20 minutes of my lunch break waiting in line. No less than 20 minutes. Every. Single. Time. The drive-thru is only slightly faster at 10-15 mins. Plus, the staff is rude. I've driven out of my way a few times to the Wendy's in Wilkinsburg just to avoid this place.\n\nAnyway, I have no qualms with the food, as it's the same as any other Wendy's. So it's fine if you have time to kill.
01
Fast food.... NOT.\n\nBig corporate America places only get one shot w us. We came here cause we got stuff to do, quick trip to TARGET, try to get child fed quickly and to bed on time. SO LETS STOP AT Wendy's, right? Quick?\n\nSwing and miss. Never again.

Even as a vegetarian, I felt REALLY silly ordering \""orange wheat gluten\"" or \""sesame soy protein\"". But their vegetarian menu is fantastic! I'm happy ordering veggies and tofu and Asian restaurants. But I really miss sesame chicken, and I can get it at China Palace! \n\nThe food itself is every so slightly above par. It's a little sweet, but not too oily. I can't vouch for their meat dishes, as the person I went with is also veg. They really manage to create satisfying, typical Chinese dishes, with meat substitutes that would fool most meat eaters.\n\nIt's definately expensive, we paid $40 for three entrees and a salad. And there's other Chinese food that's just as good for less money. But for vegetarians who miss \""typical\"" dishes, China Place is so the place to go!
12
Yumm-eeee! I don't care if the previous reviewer thinks that this place is Americanized Chinese food--I love it! As I've said on other reviews, I like my food kind of plain, so I love the Sesame Chicken or the Chicken Broccoli. I figure that if a place can get the basics right, then they can do the more complicated dishes. My husband Rick likes his food a little spicier. His favorite is the Kung Pao Shrimp. Once when I was feeling bold, Rick and I split an order of Crispy Whole Fish with Homemade Spicy Hunan Sauce. Spicy? I think I saw through time after trying it!\n\nOne dish I'm going to try someday is Three's Company. No, it does not feature Joyce DeWitt, John Ritter, or Suzanne Summers. It is Lemon Chicken, General Tso's Chicken and Chicken with Vegetables. For the vegetarian-inclined, they have Soy Protein with Cashew Nuts, Soy Protein with Curry Sauce, and Wheat Gluten with Garlic Sauce. Uh, no thanks! I'll stick to my chicken dishes! \n\nChina Palace features a full bar, but since I'm a diabetic, I usually stick to my tea. Plus my drink of choice (Bailey's with Coffee) probably would not go well with Chinese food! On the whole, China Palace is a place for wonderful Chinese food and definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.\n\nNow should I try one of their other specialties, Three Afire?

This was my first Chinese food experience here in Pitt, and I've gotta say, guys, I wasn't impressed. This was also the first time in my life I've ordered from a Chinese restaurant where the lady taking the orders and the delivery guy were white. Odd. I suppose, then, I shouldn't have been surprised by the food. My Moo Shu Chicken was mostly cabbage. The pork dumplings were all dough, and the dough was very thick and unappealing. To end on a good note, though, the hot and sour soup was both hot and sour, which you don't always find.
01
China Palace offers both Americanized Chinese Food and more authentic style dishes. A good portion of their menu is populated by items such as General Tso's Chicken and Moo Shu Chicken, but there are also more authentic dishes such as Szechuan Water Boiled Beef (shui zhu nio) and Yu xiang Eggplant. Personally I have to say the Water Boiled Beef is both the best Water Boiled Beef I've had in Pittsburgh and also the best dish I've had at China Palace, I like all my spicy dishes with extra spicy. Their Americanized offerings are also cooked pretty well, definitely better than take out restaurants.\n\nContrary to popular belief, China Palace actually has a Taiwanese owner and not an American owner.\n\nChina Palace is nice as you can go there with people with more Americanized palates if you have a more Asian palate, or vice versa, and you can please everyone.\n\nPrices run from around 9 dollars to upper teens for some of the chef's specials.\n\nHighly Recommended.
12
The food here was greasy, uninspired and bland. The mockmeat \""chicken\"" was too chewy and the dish felt oily and heavy. It was something I grew tired of in a matter of five or six bites.\n\nI was also disappointed that they don't serve brown rice.\n\nThe service was friendly enough, though. \n\nNot to be recommended unless you're desperate.
01
Ordered Peking duck for delivery at 5:30 yesterday. I was told it would take 45 minutes, but the food did not arrive until after 7:00. I had to throw it in the microwave because it was no longer hot. The duck itself was not that great; the skin (usually the best part of the duck) was soggy instead of crispy and the meat lacked flavor. If anyone knows a place in Pittsburgh that serves good Peking duck, please message me.
01
People who reviewed this place as being GOOD... obviously retain the taste buds of a snake (fyi: snakes have no taste buds).\n\nCame here with my parents while we were scoping out apartments for me to live in. Wanted to go to Pamela's, but the line was too long so we walked a few doors down to China Palace. I was REALLY wary because I did a quick Yelp search before we walked in, but my dad insisted that it was probably \""not that bad\"".\n\nHere's what we ordered:\n- Cheese wontons (Um... they literally just fried american cheese in the wontons. Who does that?! It's supposed to be CREAM CHEESE!! And they gave us some disgusting mustard sauce to dip it in.)\n- Chicken Lo Mein\n- Beef Lo Mein\n- Shrimp and Broccoli w/ Sweet and Sour Soup (The soup was the most disgusting texture of I-don't-know-what. Needless to say, that was left untouched.)\n\nLet's just say, not only did it take 30-40 minutes to get our food (for food that was of LESSER quality than Chinese takeout), the food itself was just utterly disappointing... A complete travesty to Chinese cuisine. It was bland, yet greasy and MSG-ridden (if that makes any sense). Not only that, they also didn't have BEEF CHOW FUN (ok, so whoever claims this restaurant serves \""authentic\"" Chinese food clearly has no clue on what they're talking about). And the kicker? It came out to about $32 + tip for food that we DIDN'T even finish half of. We literally just got up mid-meal when we overheard the table behind us complaining about how they found a dead fruit fly in their bowl of rice.\n\nDO NOT GO HERE!!! ... unless you're a snake that is.
01
We used to visit this place most every time we went to Pittsburgh. The menu has change and so has the food I ordered off the lunch lunch special and the Kung Pao Chicken was average at best and the egg roll was horrible. My friends has water chestnuts with black spots in their dishes. We shall not be going back there.
01
The portions are huge. Reasonable price. The fish I ordered was decent.
12
General tso's chicken... was bad... just bad... too soy saucy... it needs more tanginess... It didn't taste the way that it should be... \n\nI am never going to order their General tso ever again. Never ever whatsoever!
01
This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. Great location, great veggie options. Every meal I have eaten there has been tasty. Only 2 things that bother me, the hot and sour soup is TOO hot. I can't eat it. And it's not easy to find a parking space. Lots of driving around to find a spot. \nBut the restaurant is definitely worth checking out.
12
This place can pass as average if you order the right thing. I have taken out from here about a dozen times in the past year mainly because it is so convenient to my place but after trying their sweet and sour chicken this last time I will probably stay away for now (soggy/slimy, not very appetizing or tasty). Entrees like chicken with any kind of veggies/mushrooms are okay. Price is not bad. Why is it so hard to find a good chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh?
01
Was there at a busy time -- Mother's Day dinner -- and the service was poor, with a waitress who did not ask specifics and was slow to deliver things like hot mustard and kept us waiting for our order for over an hour. Not all her fault. And, the food was ordinary. Not bad, a little tasteless, but why bother?
01
What has happened to this place? Used to be delicious, but something's changed! Rude host...pointed us to a table (of course the personal cell phone BS going on with a friend was far more important) for a noon lunch, in a nearly empty restaurant. Nor good signs and we should have walked out then. We started with a bland egg roll. Moved on to fair won ton soup. Entrees of cashew chicken and Kung Pao chicken, both on brown rice we're disappointing. Left us both wishing that we had gone for Thai food down the street instead! Save yourself and opt for one of the other fabulous dining experiences in Shadyside!
01
The worst chinese food I've had. I got the General Tso's Chicken and it came dry and very not spicy at all when I asked for extra spicy. Panda Express is better.
01
In sum, we ordered take out here a few days ago. There were bugs in my egg drop soup. Nuff said.\n\n\nUsually, I write these long reviews. Not today. I ordered two orders of soup Hot and Sour and Egg Drop. I only eat the Hot and Sour the night we ordered our take out. I specifically ordered the Egg Drop to have for lunch yesterday. Fortunately for me- I noticed the bugs prior to eating. Looked like a bunch of fruit flies made their way into the soup. Disgusting.
01
My favorite chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh. Clean, flavorful, close in proximity, priced right, friendly service, food comes out quickly, and they're probably the only ones open til 10pm! (since Pittsburgh is the \""city that sleeps\""). The only dish I don't like and got confused with is their Walnut Shrimp. In the West Coast, it's glazed with coconut and its supposed to be sweet, but in this restaurant, its salty and does not have any coconut flavor, so I don't order it anymore. And I wish they delivered to the downtown area.
12
Yuck! I hadn't eaten here in years and it will be years until I return. The wonton soup was watery, and the wontons were inedible. I ordered pepper steak wwhich they substituted pork sparerib meat and I surmised that they didn't think I would notice. Also I think the health dept needs to perhaps male a visit;the place is dirty.
01
Not very good Chinese food here. It reminded me of a cheap college place. They give you plenty of food but it is low quality. Could have probably went to another place and paid half the price for the same meal.
01
I have never, ever thrown food away, but I couldn't stomach this stuff. I got the pork fried rice and egg drop soup. Holy moly was that a poor decision. The rice tasted like a flavorless mush with chewy \""pork\"". It tasted nothing like pork, or meat for that matter. I tried adding soy sauce for some kind of flavor but dear lord that didn't help. The soup was a weird creamy mess. My friend got the general tso chicken, which should generally be a safe choice. WRONG. cardboard. Cardboard with a strange tangy sauce and a side of disaster. Seriously we've never been so grossed out that we had to throw out $20 worth of food but that's what happened.
01
Disgusting...The general tso that I ordered for delivery tasted like fish. I called and Verna tried to convince me that it was because I made the mistake of not requesting white meat. She then tried to tell me that they don't deep fry anything with fish. This was interesting because I am sure that the shrimp egg rollls that I ordered were indeed deep fried...in the same oil that my chicken was fried in. She told me that the delivery driver would be there in an hour to pick it up and i call and she tells me that they only way for me to get the refund is if I bring it in myself. Very rude and horrible customer service
01
Had a craving for Chinese the other day while I was in Shadyside and wandered into China Palace. How this place can stay in business in an area that I consider to be more sophisticated is a real mystery. It was just awful and the service was terrible.\n\nI wanted to have the assorted appetizer platter, but asked if I could substitute one of the items with dumplings. Our waiter had to ask the manager. After much whispering, the manager came back to me and told me that I could have dumplings...then I asked if I could get the fried dumplings with that instead of steamed. Well I was met with an outraged \""NO\""!!!! It kind of surprised me that I got this kind of reaction. I was told that the chef would have to fry 2 dumplings just for my platter. I looked around and there were only 2 other people in the entire restaurant. Isn't that what they're supposed to do? Cook food for people to eat? I would have never asked if I thought it would be such a big deal. \n\nAnyway, the food was not very good. In fact, it was awful. \n\nWere they having an off day? I'm not sure they were. There's never any reason to be rude to your patrons. No need to ever return.
01
Not really for females under 45.
01
This store is shameful to the Shadyside family. Upon entering the shop, the blond sales associate judged my friend and I by staring at us and abruptly walking away without a greeting. My friend was given dirty looks form the elderly sales associate while I tried to ignore the rudeness and enjoy the clothing. I am not complaining about the prices, I have bought many items from the same designers and enjoy the designers quality, I was not sticker shocked. What I am upset about is the customer service by these women who think it is okay to treat potential customers with such disrespect. Neither me friend nor I were dressed poorly, we are both fashion stylist in the Pittsburgh area. I have never been so disrespected in my life and after writing this review I will be contacting the owner.
01
So I wrote a review but it was filtered. I think people should know how awful this place is before stepping inside. I have no ties to this place; I don't know any of the other owners of shops in Shadyside and I am 100% un-bias and wrote my review purely on my experience there. Why was it filtered?
01
Eddy was recommended to me by a friend since I have curly hair. Pretty much my entire life I'd never done anything with my hair except trim it (cut-wise, I dyed it for a long time), but I decided it was time for a change. I decided to go with a dramatic look and I was very nervous (not sure how well I hid it) but Eddy was super nice and I calmed down quickly after we started chatting. And WOW, he did an absolutely fantastic job! He cut it perfectly to enhance my curls and did everything exactly as I asked (I've had trouble before with stylists ignoring my instructions about cutting my bangs or being too timid about cutting off damage). This is, without a doubt, the best haircut I've ever had. (Though that may change since I'm planning to go back to him later to try more styles!) I wanted a cut that was both feminine and fierce and he nailed it. \n\nI highly recommend Eddy for anyone with curly hair! I also greatly appreciated the student discount.
12
Best Salon in Pittsburgh! I've been going to Eddy for a few years now and he never fails to make my hair look a thousand times better than it does when walking in the door. I have super thick, curly hair and he makes cutting and styling it look effortless. Super talented stylist who is always great fun to talk to! \n\nEveryone at Salon Cercone are really nice, and the environment is welcoming and casual. It's definitely a great place for the more laid back salon goers.
12
I've been going to Eddy for years. In fact I am his first paying client. I have followed him from different salons and was so happy when he landed at Salon Cercone. I believe he's been there 8 years or so now. It's a perfect fit for him as a stylist and me as a client.\nEddy is a true artist in his craft. I have had every colour, cut and style and then some. Anything Eddy or I could think up over the years, I've worn it. Over twenty years later and I still get compliments from complete strangers on my look. I owe it all to Eddy!\nThe atmosphere is upscale but not stuffy. The staff are a knowledgeable group of extremely talented hair, skin and nail artists. There are many salons to choose from but not many that offer excellence. Salon Cercone is a true Shadyside gem.
12
The owner stole a bracelet brought in for repairs and has lied over and over about returning it.
01
2 woman in the store were very helpful and knowledgable. I haven't received my piece yet and its been about 5 days. Iffy about who owns the place but, ill see what the end product will be once I was receive it. If it approves I will change my rating
01
I didn't find the food all that flavorable, the service isn't great, and it's definitely not worth the price.
01
I've had pretty good experiences dining here, but maybe that's because other people were paying for my food about half of those times. The service was fine, and I liked the decor. I also enjoyed the food, although if I recall correctly, there was entirely too much of it.\n\nAs a carless resident of Pittsburgh, I love the great location on Walnut Street. I don't have to go out of my way to dine here, since there are plenty of stores to visit.
12
Food, blah. Pierogi with chipotle butter app was terrible- frozen Mrs. T's pierogi in PITTSBURGH is just lazy, and they were drowning in greasy, room temp aforementioned butter which carried heat with absolutely no flavor. Everything else was of unremarkable to poor quality. Main courses were a cuban sandwich and something I don't recall (bad sign) and were extremely disappointing.\n\nService, argh. It was late, but if you're open you're open, right? Slow, inattentive, wrong sides (which we couldn't correct given the service) an they basically vacuumed around our feet.
01
We had Sunday brunch upstairs and I was very pleased with the quality and quantity of the dishes and the service. Lots better than most.
12
Too pricey for the quality.
01
Just got back from a lunch at the Walnut Grill. I had been there once before about 3 years ago. I don't remember much other than it was a solid meal and the mushroom soup I got was good.\n\nAnyway, it was fairly empty for lunch. Perhaps it's because it has a darker atmosphere (today was gorgeous out) than other SS places. I had the lunch special which was a Cajun chicken sandwich with mozzarella, basil and roasted red peppers (9$). GF got the veggie sandwich which has portabellos, spinach, feta and onions (9$).\n\nMy sandwich was great. The chicken was nicely cooked (not dry). The mozzarella was nice and big. The basil was a nice touch and fresh. The roasted red peppers were from a can, but were good. Served on warm ciabatta. Sandwich wasn't overly salty either. The fries were surprisingly good.\n\nGF's veggie sandwich was equally good. I usually don't like spinach, but the bite I had was nice and feta/mushroom-y. She ate all of it (which rarely happens).\n\nI also got a Proper draft which is an English Pale Ale. It was quite good. Nice and malty with minimal hops.
12
While it has a somewhat trendy looking menu, don't be fooled. We ordered the calamari, mexican pizza, ahi tuna, and french onion soup. While the onion soup was actually good, the rest was awful.\n\nThe mexican pizza was greasy, and looks like it was reheated in a microwave, it tasted like cardboard, and looked even worse. The calamari was awful, came with a gross looking/tasting dip. The ahi tuna was actually just mediocre, which was a nice improvement from the rest of the meal. \n\nIf i was a bigger jerk I would have demanded they take the food back, but I just had a bite of everything and asked the waitress to take it back.\n\nI would never eat here again
01
my husband and I went there for dinner this evening and while their bunches are usually lovely I don't think we will return for a dinner meal again.\n\nI ordered the steak mid-rare and asked for a Caesar salad for my side... the salad was terrible, bland, the dressing was barely there and i really question if it was actually a caesar dressing. The parmesan cheese tasted old and well, sorta like it had been shaved off the block of cheese ages ago - it was sort of rubbery and bland as well. My steak was more medium than mid-rare and they included a peppercorn sauce which sounded good on the menu but had far too many peppercorns in it and ruined the dish... the mashed potatoes were really good once i picked out the peppercorn overload seeping into it. The broccoli served on the side was barely steamed and seasoned with some surprising and awful seasoning. Completely disappointing. \n\nMy husband's salad looked much more appetizing... baby field greens and ranch dressing - he was happy. He asked for a shrimp alfredo which they did make special for him (they have it as chicken alfredo on the menu). I tasted the sauce and it was ok but very thin and could have used more cheese to add more flavor as well as thicken it. He was happy with the meal but admitted to me that Girasole's alfredo was much much better. \n\nSo no, I don't see us heading back anytime soon for anything other than perhaps a bunch meal. I will say that the service was excellent - the waitstaff was attentive and friendly and they did a great job but the food is overpriced for the quality of preparation.
01
Want good bloody mary's to kick off your Saturday or Sunday morning? Come to Walnut Grill. They throw a jumbo shrimp in it which is awesome. The eggs benedict is terrific!
12
This place has cockroaches.\nPeople throw up in the booths.\nPretty good white russian.\n\n(b)
01
Not too shabby. I would call it a \""finer diner\"" in terms of the definition of a Diner. The menu has your everyday American items; nothing too creative or imaginative. It's pretty basic. Salads, sandwiches, burgers and entrees we have all had before.\nThe food is good though; however you're paying for the location and decor (which, in our opinion, was kind of out-dated). We started with the mushroom flatbread that was a bit on the sweet side; however it was loaded with mushrooms which is a huge plus.\nI had the walnut crusted salmon sandwich and Jordan had the reuben. The salmon was very light and tasty and Jordan's corned beef was sliced real thick. French fries are pretty standard.\nAll in all, I guess this is where the rich people of ShadySide get their diner food: same kind of food, just a fancier ambiance than Denny's. \nWe will be back when we want something comforting but dont want to be surrounded by teenagers and want something better than Eat 'N Park.
01
The staff is super friendly every time I'm in this store. I think I've been there almost every month since there's always something there that I'd love to have and it's right down the street. Whether it's random cooks tools like a 4\"" wide vegetable peeler (highly recommended), a Microplane grater or splurging on a new Shun knife, Williams-Sonoma always seems to have what I want with people there who know what they're talking about.
12
Generally speaking, I am a huge fan of Williams-Sonoma. In CA, I love their store in Union Square. The service in this store is ridiculous. The ladies seemed to be complaining about something the whole time we were there and seemed to have an attitude as if we were intruding into their space.\nThe real kicker for me, though, was that they advertise for free gift wrapping but don't seem to really offer it. The first time I came in, my boyfriend spent around $50 on a gift for a friend. We were excited about the gift wrapping but then they said they don't offer gift wrapping after 5 pm. Seriously? Why not? They weren't busy or anything at that moment. Why couldn't they take a couple minutes and wrap our gift for us?\nThe second time (and the last time) I came in they just said \""no, we don't wrap\"". I was so confused and annoyed that I just left after paying. I haven't written a review in over a year but their horrible service motivated me to say something.\nBeware of these ladies. They just aren't nice.
01
Great store!\n\nOne of the previous reviewers seems to have had some bad experiences with service in the store; my experience thankfully hasn't been the same. I've always had helpful, friendly people working whenever I've popped in to get something for our kitchen.\n\nGreat selection of items, and the staff always have great recommendations for me when I'm not quite sure of what I need. Their sales could be a bit better, but that's not necessarily the store's fault, and it's never really worth the longer trip to the South Side to hit their main competitor's store.\n\nParking can be a bit annoying if you try to get a spot on the street, but the garage around the corner is convenient and is reasonably priced. Gotta love Walnut Street!
12
My hubby and I wandered around Shadyside on Saturday afternoon and made Williams-Sonoma one of our stops. It was warm (but not too warm) and sunny (but not too bright), and Williams-Sonoma's doors were thrown open, welcoming customers into a land of expensive kitchen gadgets and extravagant kitchen accessories. The scent of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies wafted from a high-end easy-bake-oven type device set up near the entrance. Needless to say, the store was packed. This really is the perfect Williams-Sonoma location.\n\nMy complaint with Williams-Sonoma lies not with this store but with the entire company. The hubby and I have an adequate amount of discretionary income, yet browsing here makes me feel like I live below the poverty line. I just really prefer shopping at Williams-Sonoma's competitors of Crate & Barrel and Sur La Table that have a better balance of low, moderate, and high priced items.
12
BEWARE!! This car wash damaged my 2008 Yukon Denali . Spoke with one of the owners, Justin, and he refused to work with me to get the damaged piece repainted. Do not believe that the \""We Are Responsible\"" sign out in front means anything. The brushes are very rough on the vehicle. If you have a dark colored vehicle i would not use this car wash, go to a touchless.
01
Remember that saying, that sex is like pizza - even when it's so-so, it's good? That pretty much sums it up. There's nothing appallingly wrong with the Pizza Co. pizza. It's just kind of ho-hum. \n\nWith that said, I enjoyed the chili poppers a lot. (Which were inexplicably wrapped with the ranch sauce for delivery. Mmmmm....hot, sweaty ranch dressing.)\n\nThe delivery guy was really friendly. Delivery time was unimpressive. A full 45 minutes mid-afternoon, and I live two blocks away? That's what I get for being lazy, probably. Karmic pizza. \n\nPrices are pretty good though, so that's a bonus. They may end up being my 'Dangit, I've only got fifteen bucks!' joint. Otherwise, probably not.
01
I wasn't crazy about the Untouchable since I don't like Primanti's sandwiches, but the pizza was more than decent. Unfortunately, they don't deliver to us, so we had to go there to get it.
12
New location in Rostraver! Great wings! Take out wings are usually soggy or\nOver cooked...not these! Cajun and buffalo are Amazing!
12
Old-times feel, but they have awesome hoagies, great pizza, and very good italian food.\n\nThey do deliver, and pretty much anything on the menu is able to be ordered for delivery. The drinks are by the can or by the 2-liter.\n\nIn-store, you place the order and they'll either hand it to you at the counter or bring it out to you. There is very limited seating.\n\nYou can call in your order and pick it up, too.\n\nDefinitely would recommend.
12
Nice people, and they never screw up my tailoring. Whenever I ask for an item to be done at a certain time they will get it done. Then I tell them I don't need it that fast and wait at least two weeks before picking it up. I wish the Taco Bell was still close by.
12
The good: The ladies who run the registers are personable and helpful. Also, if you live in the area, it's certainly convenient. The alterations are well done. \n\nThe bad: Their alterations manager won't give you an estimate for the work before he does it. Not even a ballpark. So basically, you drop your clothes off, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Expect the work (even something simple like hemming) to take more than a week, and cost a fair amount. \n\nIn summary: Good work, friendly but slow service, expensive. If it weren't so convenient I doubt I'd go back.

If you want to be completely ignored when you walk into a business, then this is the place for you. I walked into this bakery at 4:40PM. There were 2 customers ahead of me and 2 ladies behind the counter. One was waiting on the customers while the other\nseemed to be more interested in getting the place ready for closing at 5:00PM and\nsocializing with someone who walked in after me and was obviously just visiting the lady. The other lady finished with her customer and then walked back to the back of the store and they both completely ignored me for a good 5 minutes while I was waiting by the cake case too buy a cake. Ten minutes later I finally asked them exactly how much longer they were going to ignore me and walked out. I them came back to ask for the owner's name and was told it was Ron. Well Ron, this incident cost you $17.99 which I was going to spend on a Tiramasu cake and also lost you a good customer. I also plan to tell my family and friends NOT to shop here. TERRIBLE SERVICE.
01
Extremely rude lady works there on Sundays. Called at 1:50 p.m.and wanted to pick up a cake for my daughter's birthday. I was told that they had cakes available but to hurry because they close at 2:00 p.m. sharp. I arrived at 1:58 p.m. and the rude lady would not let me in. She kept pointing to the clock. Pool customer service. I will NEVER go back.

Went to the monroeville location using a groupon for the free tooth whitening. The first visit, they said i had cavities that needed filled...ok...so I got them filled the same day....and they weren't filled smoothly!! I had to come back to get the filling smoothed out because they left a ridge and it was bothering my mouth!! \n\nthey also said i needed MI paste (for $30 from them when online it's ~$15)....ok...so i got that as well not knowing it was something I could get outside of the office\n\nI had to come back in for deep cleaning. When i got there however and went through the process, the \""deep cleaning\"" didn't seem like a deep cleaning at all. The initial cleaning the first day seemed more thorough and hurt longer. They did all four quadrants in one session, no novicaine (which if you've had a deep cleaning before...it HURTS.....I needed the nitrous oxide the last time I had one.....and it hurt for multiple weeks after as well when I went before). One of my friends that also has had deep cleanings also said that they're painful and hurt for days afterwards. This one instead didn't hurt except when i was poked a few times, and i was fine to eat/etc right afterwards.\n\nWhile getting the deep cleaning the hygenist (because I never saw the dentist except for the fillings when in the past I saw them for deep cleanings as well) said that my mouth was much better and that she thought the pockets (the reason for the deep cleaning) were probably false pockets, that my mouth was much better than the previous month, that I probably didn't need the deep cleaning and that no antibiotic would be needed...maybe if I came in next time I would need them. So I got a deep cleaning that I may not have needed, didn't feel like a deep cleaning, and set me back $900....in about an hour (they also usually take longer)\n\nPoor experiences multiple times...\n\noh--and never met Carl.

If you are fearful of going to the dentist, or if you put off going to the dentist for financial reasons, do not go to him! He will lecture you for not going. His bedside manner is terrible. I didn't appreciate the sarcastic comment \""See you in 2020\"" as he left the room. \n\nWill not go back. Instead I will find a dentist who is sensitive to my fear of pain.\n\nUPDATE 12/18/2013:\nSo I went to another dentist to get my gum fillings filled (which he put in back in 2006 and informed me I needed to have them done again last week). Guess what, I DON'T NEED TO HAVE THEM FILLED! The dentist informed me that Sensodyne should solve the problem. He told me that there isn't a whole near my gum line so the procedure is unnecessary, and if it Sensodyne doesn't help they have a special sealant they can use on me in the future (lasts only 9 months). No drilling! So I basically saved myself over a hundred dollars and two shots of novicane. I'm so, so angry with myself for letting him convince me to do these \""fillings\"" 6 years ago when all I needed was a special toothpaste! \n\nNot only did they ridicule me for waiting 4 years to get my teeth cleaned, they also ridiculed me for putting off these so-called gum fillings. To find out that I didn't need to have them done in the first place is infuriating! His lecturing was completely unnecessary! \n\nI've never seen a medical professional so money hungry before in my life. Very, very unhappy with his service!
