Excellent chow! Stopped in with a large group of fellows today for lunch...about 14 guys. No worries being seated...they were ready for us. Friday in Lent? Yeah I'm getting that big fish sandwich! It was delicious, and so was the cole slaw! Perfect! All the guys wolfed down their various selections with zero grumbling! Our server was great and kept up with drinks, refills, and keeping it neat around us sloppy fellows.An excellent place to stop into...a gem in Rankin!

I give it 5 stars yet again. Old school Pittsburgh. Grabbed an Iron to be like the olden days. Owner was here and spent a few minutes talking to me and making suggestions. She is so darn friendly. Definitely a neighborhood place, but as a stranger I was made to feel as though I've lived here my entire life. Ordered tonight the stuffed cabbage just like Zimmern did. Wonderful with homemade mashed potatoes. Like my grandmother would make. The people are what make this place special.

Fantastic service, people and food!!!We love to dine here, wish they were close to home. Food is always fresh, and homemade. The staff is friendly and greet you with a smile to make you feel like a regular. Please don't make the mistake of letting the neighborhood fool you to not come here.... The food, people, and staff are absolutely amazing.

This is an old bar in an old neighborhood. My husband spent a lot of time in Rankin as a child and wanted to touch base. It is clearly a locals neighborhood bar. The waitress was familiar with all the patrons and still spent time trying to get to know us. There were screaming noisy kids and parents in the place and she apologized ,a lot, for the extra noise and seated us away from them. She was a kick and she didn't fluster with all the extra noise. We had the 1/2 fish sandwich that, when you get it, you think you won't finish it but you can't stop. We also had a burger and fries which was also very good. It was a fun place to stop on memory lane.

Food is always spot on, the only thing better than that is the outstanding service. I just wish that I lived closer.

If you're not getting dinner from here at least once a week you're missing out! All homemade food, the nicest and most attentive service. This chicken Parmesan I got for my takeout order was SO good! I got to pick from spaghetti or rigatoni noodles. I ordered this on a Thursday, FYI Thursday is their Italian menu. Also not pictured is their delicious fish sandwich! Highly recommend this place. It is just straight up good food!

Great neighborhood restaurant. I got the stuffed cabbage. It reminded me of Sunday dinner at Grandma's house. During previous visits, I had the fish sandwich and the ruben... both excellent.
