As I told my husband, "I don't mind hipsters, but I don't want them serving me my food." He really likes OTB (as you can see from his review and 22 check-ins), and I finally tried the restaurant with him this Friday night. I was definitely underwhelmed. We started with drinks, and I ordered the Spiced Cider. It was a spiked apple cider that tasted a lot more apple cider than spiked. The only reason that I knew it contained alcohol was because I became very tired half way through the meal. I also had to order the pierogies as they are one of my favorite comfort foods. These were literally the worst pierogies that I have ever had.... I mean, c'mon, if you want to serve frozen pierogies heated in the microwave in Florida, that's fine because no one will know what you're serving anyway. However, this is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and you should not microwave your frozen pierogies. I must admit that my burger was pretty tasty. I ordered The Fixie, which is a burger covered with blackberry preserves and the incredible Wholey's peanut butter. However, the fact that the top bun was too thick and the bottom bun was non-existent just frustrated me. It was extremely difficult to eat, and I even ate a portion of it with a fork. Our waitress was just as frustrating as those microwaved pierogies. She was relatively attentive in the beginning. However, we finished our meals, and a busboy came and picked up our plates. We literally sat for a good 20 minutes as she just served the back portion of the restaurant, ignoring her three tables in the front. I almost lost it when I saw her hanging out with her coworkers and friends and eating behind the bar. Finally, the other patrons were annoying. Two or three loud guys were randomly chatting about drunken nonsense, such as getting "lit up because it's light up night." I mean... it's 5:30pm on a Friday night... are you seriously that drunk already? Overall, I was unimpressed and do not have a desire to return. Even though the burger was very tasty, the rest of the food and experience was poor.
