The Steel Plate

We stopped for brunch on Saturday. The food was absolutely wonderful, the service was fantastic, and it is just a fantastic place to go.The owners and their family go out of their way to make sure you leave 100% satisfied. My girlfriend and I have never gotten a bad meal there!It is really five star quality! From the taste to the presentation, the meals are comparable to any of the big city specialty restaurants! Kudos to them!!

I love this place and Russell is amazing well his whole family is and so is the staff. We have gone to breakfast and lunch there and never had a bad meal. It's a must stop if you are in the valley.

Great service and delicious homemade food! They served our entire youth hockey team and all the families on short notice and did a great job! Food was immaculate!

A BBQ treasure in Monessen.Very good food. Just right BBQ....not over smoked.Nice people. Super service. Clean surroundings.Do give is a try.Dennis

Thankful for Yelp for pointing us to a restaurant that we may never have heard of! Located in Monessen, this restaurant truly brings some light to the small town. The food was very good. The menu had a huge selection, everything from unique BBQ to seafood and pasta. The town of Monessen is pretty quiet, so we were surprised when we arrived and the restaurant was super busy, now we know why! This place is a great find. Everything from appetizer to entree was very good. We don't cook with salt at home, so I did find the food to be very salty (crab risotto and French onion soup specifically). I liked the option for BYOB. There was a corking fee of $7.50 for our table of two. We were overcharged for a soup on our bill so I will have to keep an eye out next time, I'm sure this was just a mistake. Food was a bit salty for my liking but ultimately it was very good and we would return for sure!

Fantastic food! Friendly atmosphere. I'll be honest, I did not expect a restaurant of this quality in this area. Very casual atmosphere, with very sophisticated food. We got the seafood boil with some pasta and had plenty to take home. The lobster ravioli were shine of the best I have tried. Definitely making the trip out there again!

Great BBQ restaurant in Monessen, Pa. My first time here, I've always read good things about this place. And, now I know why. Food was tremendous!! A friendly wait staff, very good at their job. Starting off with an appetizer of Brisket Quesadillas. They were awesome! Crunchy shell, tender, juicy brisket, filled with Mac and cheese, and a cheesy, bbq sauce mixture for dipping, absolutely delicious! For my main meal, the Ultimate Beef and Cheddar burger. Half pound of Angus, juicy, perfectly cooked burger, topped with the juicy, tender brisket. I added bacon, and caramelized onions. It already comes with a cheesy, cheddar sauce, but I added my normal bbq sauce, and ranch dressing. This burger was killer, huge, messy, absolutely one of my absolute favorite burgers anywhere now. The Brisket was piled on, everything worked perfectly, a 5 star burger!!! A side of crispy fries rounded out an amazing burger experience. A new favorite place to eat now, I'll be a regular here. Family had the Cuban sandwich, they loved it. Everything is made in house, all of their sauces, the meats are smoked in house. 5 stars all the way!!

Went for breakfast with a friend and her son. Great family environment, I had the special they were running on a Sunday with a T-Bone steak, eggs with cheese, a bagel and grape fruit juice!! Steak was cooked just to my liking ( between rare and medium rare) Eggs were soft and fluffy like a cloud with soft delicate cheese. I also ordered a side of burnt brisket ends, cooked just right and hint of salt was perfect for flavor.

Hands down one of the best hidden treasures. If you haven't been definitely have to go. Brisket Alfredo and hot chicken Parmesan won't disappoint. Service was fantastic. Very family oriented and the owners are fantastic.

Got the onion petals, chicken lollipops, and the BBQ platter.The onion petals were super good. Chicken lollipops were really nicely cooked but I'll probably get something other than the Jamaican jerk next time (they've got some options that look really good). The BBQ pulled pork and brisket were outstanding with huge portions for the entree price. Seriously recommend this place and especially the BBQ stuff-- hidden gem for sure. Waiter was super nice and cleared the table as we went which is nice-- not all places do that.
