Not impressed. Barbecue sauce was to "ketchupy" side werent good either. Maybe I need to go back, my feeling is that it is a good place to drink bc they have "moonshine", but I was not impressed. If the reviews still hold at 4 stars in another 6 months I may have to go back...always an optimist.

I hate to even write a bad review, but in this case I feel I must. The experience was bad. My boyfriend and I met met some friends at Zipps for lunch, and some drinks on Sat. The restuarant was not super busy. Our server was not attentive at all. During our dining we had to continuously remove all of our own glassware, and dirty plates. Literally 6 empty glasses at a time. Then she forgot our second drink order. When she finally got around to bringing it, I asked her for a pickle. She rudley smirked and said, "we do not have pickles." I know this was not even true since probably 98% of all sportsbars in America have pickles. I was a little upset about the service. I have worked in the hospitality industry for years, and the places I have worked have high standards. You learn to keep tables clear of all dirty items, and you try to accomodate your guests with the things they ask for. When she brought the bill it was $70. We still left her a $10. tip. My boyfriend wrote her a little note just explaining why it was only $10. We eat out all the time. We are usually very generous tippers. If the service was up to standard, and attentive as it should have been, her tip would have been double. I am sorry Zipps. Im not super eager to return.

Thai Cuisine is one of the best Thai places I've been to in the States - finding it in Pittsburgh was a real surprise. The food here is outstanding, and the service is comparable to what I'd expect in a $50/person restaurant, and this place is definitely not $30/plate. With appetizers, Thai iced tea, and two entrees, my girlfriend and I paid about $30. I highly recommend the cold chicken and sprout salad. Wish I could remember the name of it, because it's heavenly. (...Which probably assumes that heaven looks like Thailand. ...Which would be a nice place to spend eternity.) Thai iced tea is really good, too.

Roast has a great variety of delicious sandwiches and wraps. Every sandwich I've tried has been very good. The sauces are also very good...zesty lime aioli, imperial stout BBQ...YUM. The sweet potato fries are awesome. They are a thicker cut fry with a crispy outside and a soft inside. I would definitely recommend. The service is OK, but not great. I've had better luck with service when I sit at the bar, so I tend to grab a seat at the bar.
