Decent size, decent selection, decent staff.\n\nI guess that can wholly sum this place up, it's decent. As with many other stores that are like this, the product rotates depending on what doesn't sale well at other stores. Can always snag a deal here. I was able to pick up a pretty sweet Puma jacket for $10, can't beat that, right?\n\nThat being said, there are those times that you may not find anything as well. So really don't get your hopes up if you are looking for a specific item.

Since both Marshalls and TJ Maxx are owned by the same company, I make sure to stop by both locations when shopping at the Waterfront. I generally find nothing or spend only $10 or so at Marshalls, while being enticed to spend at least $50-100 at TJ Maxx. The Waterfront TJ Maxx seems to have not only the same product as this Marshalls plus a whole lot more. All that to say, I consider shopping here a waste of time since I could just drive a block or so and be at a store owned by the same company that always has what I want and need. Sorry, Marshalls, but you're just OK to me.

This is one of the few restaurants I frequent in the Waterfront. Why would you come to Mitchell's if not for the fish/seafood? You probably wouldn't. But you can swim in the Great Lakes beer on tap here and have some nice oysters while enjoying river view. Not many places in Pittsburgh offer these types of views while dining (and that's a Pittsburgh mystery to me). The restaurant is never to crowded and you won't get packed in like sardines in a tin can. So you can enjoy a fairly romantic dinner with your loved one(s). \nThe food is very good but you may have to shell out a few clams of your own ($$$). If you have deep ocean like pockets put your hook into the sea bass which is always moist and scrumptious at around $29.99. They will cook your food one of several ways. I like my fish broiled, their signature is too salty for my liking. Bread is mmmgood and hot (free). Staff is very accommodating ie you can request to sample a soup and the servers are pleased to do so. I recommend you try their soups like the seafood gumbo. A bowl of this creamy delight goes a long way...bonus they toss in those little hexagonal oyster crackers as reminds me of my youth on Long Island's south shore (but that's another story). Salads a bit skimpy and somewhat pricey (approx. $7.95 for basic house salad). Bottom line is Mitchell's at the Waterfront is well worth taking the splash for if you really like a nice seafood dinner.

Mtchells is one of the best fish places around. I really like their Shanghi preparation of my fish. It's just delicious.\n\nThe establishment is always clean, the staff courteous and the fish, of course, fresh. \n\nOddly enough one of my favorite things about going here besides the fish is the bread they give you. It's always so warm and tasty.\n\nThe deserts are also very tasty. I have gotten two that I really liked\n\nThey also have a three course fixed price option last I went that was a great value. I think it was $20/person for lunch.

An excellent choice for fresh, well prepared seafood located in the Waterfront area in Homestead. I frequent this area for business travel, and you can't do much better without heading downtown.\n\nThe seafood is excellent, with a daily menu crammed full of fresh fish specials, a raw bar, and a list of chef's specialties. The house salad is sweet and delicious, and the 'shanghai' seafood preparation is delicious, healthy, and unique. Try it with the scallops or a white-fleshed fish.\n\nThere is a nice selection of regional beers on tap, a decent selections of wines, and creative drinks (think elderflower and pear martinis). The deserts are adequate, though not a highlight. \n\nIf you're on the Waterfront, you won't do better than this. Enjoy!

This place has great seafood. The best in the area. I come here for seafood every time. Everything on their menu is good. Their menu changes all the time depending on what was in season. Appetizers are amazing like the raw oysters. Their clam chowder is the best. Really creamy with lots of clams. Wonderful restaurant. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. We love coming to this restaurant. Don't forget a reservation on weekends. You will not get a table and will probably wait an hour or two if you don't have one. We never get to the dessert. Always too full to eat dessert. Forgot to take pictures.
12
Excellent service, great meal! They had an excellent selection of seafood, and I can't wait to dine again

We went here for Valentines Day after some traffic downtown made us miss our reservation somewhere else. We both loved it. The calamari is outstanding and if you get there before 7, they run happy hour which is half off apps and $3 beers. \n\nI had filet and crab cake and it was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the crabcake was a good size. Atmosphere was good and busy but that is likely because of it being Valentines day. Despite the busyness, the wait staff was very attentive.\n\nMy wife's steak came out rare despite asking for medium but they took it back and recooked it to a perfect medium level. We will def be back.
12
Went on a Saturday, 2 hour wait. food is good, I got some seafood gumbo to go and I won't do that again. Seemed like it didn't have any seafood in it.
12
Service was slow, but that was because one of our party insisted that the bartender, her favorite server, serve us in our private room for a party of 8. The food and drinks were good and we woud return.
12
I am bummed about this- I had high hopes. Here's a rundown of the evening:\n\nPros:\n- super friendly waitress, Stephanie, who maintained her professionalism and friendliness throughout \n- yummy elderflower and pear beverage\n- lobster bisque was nice and lobster-y\n- hot delicious bread\n\nCons:\n- oysters were sketch. And I don't feel good about that. Stephanie brought us an order of East Coast oysters to replace the West Coast ones that we sent back.\n- fresh grated horseradish had NO flavor or heat- what's up with that?\n- scallops were meh- came with weird veggies, unevenly seared, and no real flavor. And at a whopping $25 a plate, I expect some nummers!\n\nI doubt we'll go back- for those prices, I would prefer McCormick's or Ruth's Chris.
01
Service an atmosphere was great. I had the shrimp boil and it was very under-seasoned. Much closer to bland than anything.
01
I'm not a mean reviewer, if you look at the other places I've reviewed, but this was just so so so disappointing. The Shanghai style Merlin was very poorly done. The meat was extremely bland, with very little seasoning. I have a very low sodium tolerance and yet I still found this fish to be made too bland. The rice was entirely uncooked and it made crunching sounds as I took my first bite. I talked to the waitress and she offered to bring out another side. It wasn't the same. The whole dish was a fail and I don't think I am ever coming back again :(
01
I went here on a recent business trip, and there aren't many decent options in West Homestead, so I decided to splurge on the company's dollar and ordered take-out. \n\nI was highly disappointed in the service, and I only ordered take out. Upon going to the bar to announce that I was there for take out, there were 3 other people at the bar. The bartender had her back to me and it wasn't until a few minutes had passed that another guest told her that she should wait on me. \n\nAfter announcing the reason for my visit, she checks on my order (not ready yet) and helps other tables. No offer of water, or a drink. Another gentleman working the bar asked the bartender if she had offered me a drink, she stated to him my order would be right up. He then asked if she offered me a water, to which she replied, her order is going to be right up. He placed a glass of water in front of me.\n\nThen I hear my name and order announced by the kitchen staff. 3 staff members yelled. . .\""it's TAKEOUT\"" so back it went into the kitchen to be packed up.\n\nGentelman bartender asks female bartender if she has rung me up yet (she had not)\n\nAfter more time had passed (how long does it take to put food into a takeout container?) it finally is put down in front of me. She then rings me up. I don't expect take out to be piping hot, but at this point i wondered if it was even going to be room.\n\nWhen i go to eat my meal, utensils were not included. I now had to go find something to eat my lukewarm food with. \n\nVERY DISAPPOINTING experience. Will not be returning.
01
Will I come here again? Yes absolutely for drinks, they knocked the Ketel One extra dirty blue cheese olive martini outta the park. The ambiance is very nice. Of the 4 types of reviews I give (awesome, OK, bad where they get slammed and bad where I hope they improve) here I am giving the heartfelt \""bad where I hope they improve.\"" Our waitress was very friendly and did a good job. I mentioned the gritty redskins of the mashed potato. We went with appetizers she recommended. Not good. \n\nSeared ahi tuna: horrible flavors mixed with the rub, the prep, the tuna wasn't cool inside, the chips were not good, there was no soy sauce but there was wasabi. NOT good. With heartfelt advice, compare this against Outback's ahi tuna appetizer and it's no contest. The chef should do so. (He's a nice guy like me I hope.) \n\nBBQ shrimp: go try Redstone's (Philly) buffalo shrimp appetizer. It is chilled, very delicious. This appetizer was recommended and was garbage. The barbecue sauce was horrible, overwhelmed and left an unsavory aftertaste in both my and my clients' palate. Gordon Food Service or Sysco BBQ sauce. A real \""must-miss\"". \n\nCod entree was OK. The skillet beans were too firm, too mature, they need petite green beans. Potato skin had grit in the mashed. Why 1 star? The price was close to Capital Grille, but far from the cuisine. I hope they spruce it up. The place is nice.
01
I have always had a great dinner at Mitchell's but something has changed. Went there last night about 5:30, the place was maybe half full. We were seated and when it finally occurred to us that no one had been to the table at all to ask about drinks or even bring water, I started timing.... 14 minutes later we decided to leave. Told the hostess what had happened and got a blank stare. Sorry but not going back there again.
01
The service was mostly friendly but I was disappointed in my meal. My meal was way over cooked. The soda was flat and the carbonation needed changed and I felt like we inconvenienced our server by asking for new ones. Overall, I thought it was mediocre and I was expecting more for the prices.
01
Food was only ok. Had lobster bisque soup not to good. Had the shang Hai Seafood Sampler. The scallops were hard, over cooked. The samon was good. Shrimp had no flavor. I will say the service was the best. Our waiter was great!!
01
Love this place - they were very accommodating to me, Peanut and Gramma (she goes often). Solid wine selection and Gramma says they make a good Margarita. We all enjoyed all of our food as well. Great view of the Mon too.
12
Love this place so much. The food is always so delicious always leave feeling extremely satisfied. The service is incredibly slow though, takes FOREVER to our meals! Even during lunch time when there's almost no one there.. I don't understand I always end up eating here for at LEAST two-four hours. Fish is always fresh, lobster is delicate and tasty, and surprisingly the steak is amazing as well. Clam chowder is rich and creamy-- perfect thickness! Love their salads as well. Definitely recommend this place for a date night :) pricey? Definitely, be prepared to spend at least $20/person!
12
First I would like to say that I was hesitant coming to another fish place recommended by some temporary coworkers since the last place they sent me to made terribly ill. \nThat being said, I came here and was delighted by my server Michael who was not only friendly but incredibly attentive and very sharp. \nI originally ordered the Mahi Mahi but alas, the ran out upon my ordering, in which case the manager promptly came to ask me for another upgraded selection at no additional charge. Hence, the tuna. \nNow the tuna was amazing. Seared almost perfectly, with the rare flavor still intact. \nI would most definitely come back again and if I lived in the area, this would be one of my top spots.
12
I love Mitchell's Fish Market. 95% of the time, the food is amazing but, when they mess up, they move heaven and earth to make it better. The last time we were at Mitchell's, I ordered the lobster and tenderloin skewers. My lobster was underdone. The server was amazing and replaced the lobster tail even though I had eaten most of it. Then, to make our night even better, comped us a dessert. It's that kind of stellar service that keeps us going back.

This was my first time at this location. I've frequented the Upper St Clair Galleria restaurant. There's a lot to like about this Columbus OH based chain. I don't usually eat at chain restaurants nor will I review them because they're typically big food corporate run places that don't care what they feed you they just care about their stockholders. This place seems different to me. The food quality and care seems to be very high. \n\nThe staff is always well trained. I like the decor and ambiance. The menu offers many options. I don't really like the fish preparation options very much and the portions can be small in some of the dishes but overall I am a fan. I do really appreciate being able to buy fresh fish here. I like to buy the trout and prepare it at home. \n\nWe were here for a Thanksgiving meet-up event with 69 other people. The room was a little small and it ended up being too loud too but the staff really pulled it off overall. It's a tough thing to do. It wasn't perfect for sure but the food was surprisingly good and came out hot and fresh. Nicely done.
12
In the Homestead area of Pittsburgh. Seafood gumbo was very good.\nBroiled scallops were very good, partner had sea bass stuffed with lobster, also very good. Vegetable sides were not as good as the fish. With two glasses of wine the total was $83. In and out in an hour.\nI'd go back because the fish was that good
12
I love old navy clothing, it's vintage styling with good prices. Great jeans too, I love the painter's jeans.
12
After further consideration, this store does not deserve a 4 star review. The Old Navy product has been pretty weak recently, which isn't the store's fault, but the severe lack of customer service doesn't help the situation. \n\nWhile shopping here on Friday, I was one of maybe 3-5 people in the store. I would practically walk into a sales associate but not even receive a glance or smile. No one working here seems to give an iota whether or not product is being sold. To avoid inconveniencing the associates, I will be taking my Old Navy purchases online in the future.

I don't see to many options in Pittsburgh for sporting goods. Dick's seems to be the big chain for sporting paraphernalia in this neck of the woods. Their selection is poor especially in the snowboarding and biking section. Maybe it's good for small children who want their first snowboard? It is a very average store with average products. I would like to see some attempt to carry more high end products. I am not into fishing or hunting live prey so I am not sure about these departments? I guess if you want some Under Armor products then this is the place to go because I see aisles upon endless aisles of these types of products.
01
I enter every sporting goods stores as a soccer player, runner, and sports fan, so my reviews will always be skewed towards those particular areas. With that said, this is probably the worst Dick's location that I've ever been to. The selection is very limited for soccer gear, which must be a testament to the lack of the local customer base seeking out soccer gear. It's mostly low-end youth gear, too, which makes it nearly useless to adults or even some teenage soccer players.\n\nThe staff at this location has always been really nice, though, and it's the closest location to where we live, so I still end up going there quite a bit for running and clothing needs (of course, we usually leave empty-handed as they don't have what we're looking for). \n\nThey do have quite an extensive fan gear section if you're looking to support the local Pittsburgh teams, but this store just doesn't have the overall inventory necessary to be considered a \""good\"" Dick's location.

A group of us traveld here to go kenneywood park across the road but we decided not to after what we drove throuhg to get there so we atleast decided to get somthing to eat and man where we happey to get out alive. We where the only normal people in this place. The kids next to us who where only 14 where bragging and saying that they went to jail 2 times in their life. You had people selling their food outsdie the resturant. after seeing that we quickly left and hid in our cars with the doors locked. While we where in there my friend got hit on by 2 girls and they gave him there numbers while the other young guy across the table yeld dont do it dont do it. Must I say more? bottom line is dont go if you are normal and get the hell out of that area cause if you call a shank a happey meal toy then that is the resturant for you.
01
By far the worst McDonald's in the world. Employees are to busy playing grab ass behind the counter, to get your order correct. Ninety percent of the time you receive the wrong order, after waiting what seems an eternity. I've even enjoyed the experience of going through the drive thru, only to get home and find no beef patties on my Big Mac. Save yourself the aggravation, and do not go here.
01
You know it's bad when a McDonald's gets a 1 star review...I mean, seriously: none of us expect anything fancy when we go to a McDonald's. The whole point of going to McDonald's is indulging in some not-good-for-you food on the go in your busy life. In my case, I just wanted a small meal/snack that wouldn't cost me as much as the stuff in Kennywood would. I hadn't even eaten at a McDonald's in about eight years or so. And I quickly remembered why!\n\nForget the fact that McDonald's food isn't great. We all know it's not great. The problem here is that they added insult to injury by giving you the worst customer service ever in addition to not so good food. For starters, I quickly discovered that the drive-thru here is the ABSOLUTE slowest line on planet Earth. You certainly won't be getting any fast food here! Then, once I FINALLY placed my order, and finally got to the window to pay (because of course I spent a lot of time waiting for the people in front of me to even get their orders), a young woman took my card, swiped it...and didn't say another word. I waited thinking she was printing a receipt - nope! Eventually - after whipping out her phone and sending a text or two - she realized I was still there and told me to go to the next window for my food. Whatever, I figured, forget the receipt; by then I was pretty sure she had moved on to other orders and couldn't print my receipt anyway. On to the next window, where I was given my food and drink...and I proceeded to quickly discover they gave me no straw and for some reason, layered my Big Mac as such: bread, bread, patty, patty, bread. ...seriously, how does one even mess that up? I give one brownie point because the fries really were actually pretty good...but they were not worth the wait or trouble.\n\nI concur with the other reviewers: skip this place. Completely. Just keep driving. Anywhere else is better and less of a waste of your time and money, and the people here are so slow that you'll spend more time waiting for your food then you will eating it.
01
By far the absolute worst Mcdonalds in the\nWorld. You can pretty much rest assured that, after your long wait in the drive thru, your order will most definitely be wrong. Calls to the owner go ignored. Rice Enterprises own a majority of the McDonalds in the South Hills. They have all gone down hill in quality, service and cleanliness. The owner has to be the problem.
01
Good pizza at a great price. The unique crust that's both crispy and airy is probably not for everybody, but our whole group liked it. The sauce is good too, light but with a good tomato flavor. \n\nThe best thing about this place is the management. They went out of their way for our group of seven and the food was out fast. And the prices: we fed everybody in under $40, with plenty of leftovers taken home.
12
Bought a bike there on my second time in the shop. Glen is very knowledgeable but can be a bit overwhelming, annoying and pushy, I can see how he can be very helpful to the average Joe, but if you are in his shop you should have done your homework, as this place is not walmart, mid to high level product here. I would encourage getting fitted and even buying a bike there, but going back for service is a whole different story. Same day service is unheard of here, even for the simplest of adjustments, no service is available at all on the weekends. the first time I took a bike there to have a rear derailer hanger replaced and re-adjusted (I had already purchased and had the hanger) 11 days went by before I returned to pick my bike up after not being called. I figured it was just a fluke experience and gave them the benefit of the doubt. The second time. I took a bike in to have a damaged shift lever replaced with a new 7800 pair. I called after 9 days and they said it wold be 2 days more. when I showed up 2 days later it still wasn't done, it took 2 more following that, 13 days total. Stay away from their service department
01
Great customer service!!!
12
This place is the absolute BEST to purchase a bike! I have been searching for a bike for a while now and every place I have gone to have not been NEAR has helpful as Glenn. \nThe one guy in the shop helped pick me a bike for what I needed and Glenn fit me perfectly to the bike. They also helped me with the bike rack on my car and changed my bike saddle for me! Ohhhh and they gave me the best price on the bike and accessories!!! Wonderful service. Absolutely will go back! ... Can't wait!
12
If you're in the market for a high quality bike, whether it be road, mountain, racing, or hybrid, go to see Glenn at BBB. It's very clear that he loves his shop and his job. I explained my needs and preferences to him and he quickly fitted me with a bike that suited my needs. I actually bought my Trek 7300 over 3 years ago and I absolutely love it! He sells only the highest quality bikes and equipment. Highly recommended.
12
This place makes AWESOME pizza. Also, their Italian hoagies are great. The only problem is that they do not open until 4.
12
Okay so I just moved to the outskirts of Duquesne, PA which is outside of Pittsburgh from Harrisburg, PA of all places. Where I am at, really there is no delivery but these guys did. They were nice and cordial and cheap but I have been spoiled by the pizza shop in Harrisburg, Downtown, run my an old world Italian guy named Luigi. That pizza is/was MILES better than this. This crust, while thin, did not have flavor and was hard. The slices were small for their 8 slice which I did like. The cheese was good. The sauce was meh. I've definitely had way better. 2 stars for being cheap and delivering.
01
Pizza is very hit or miss. When the owners are there, it's really good. When they aren't, you get pizza that is over cooked (more like burnt) and LONG delivery times. The pizza, even when plain, is very greasy. Way more than other places around. Usually pizza that greasy is caused by low quality cheese. Also they do not take credit or debit cards. There are better options.
01
Came here from PGH for the first time. This bakery is legit. I bought some Rye bread and Italian 5 grain. Delicious. A strange snickerdoodle thing with pink frosting. Delicious. Chocolate chip cookie dipped in chocolate, extra chewy and humongous. Delicious.\n\nAnd a sweet old lady serving em up.\n\nThe best.\n\nDelicious.
12
Years after the first reviewer came here, the quality is still great and deserving of more than 5 stars.\n\nThe people who work here and run this place are super friendly and really know their craft. The main owner took my order once and gave me some tips on how to cook the frozen pierogies at home. They turned out ok, but not as good as getting them fresh from the store. \n\nIt can be a bit of a drive from anywhere that's not McKees Rocks (Google Maps takes you through the hood) but it's worth it.
12
These pierogies are one of my favorite things in the world. They're freakin' amazing. The potato and jalapeno ones are my favorite. And I definitely think it's worth it to drive all the way out to McKees Rocks to get them. I like to get them frozen, and bring them home and smother them in butter.
12
Well for my first time here I was way less than impressed. The lady at the front counter was a crab and the Pierogies really weren't that great. Rather than be kind and answering my questions I settled with the potato and cheese pierogies. I guess Bloomfield Bridge tavern or Mrs. T's is still my go to place. And plus this place is way out of my way to be treated poorly. I wouldn't go back
01
Update: Get. The. Italian. Sausage. Pierogies. Holy crap. It will change your freaking life!
12
Just finished a dinner of pierogies that our Pgh family brought to WV - always look forward to Pierogies Plus - try the apricot for a sweet treet!
12
The experience was not that great. The lady taking the orders was nice, but not helpful with what to order. The owner kept her back turn to us the entire time, based on the pictures and news articles I read about her I thought she would have been more social. To what really matters we got #2 sampler and order of jalape\u00f1o pierogies and the Ruben pierogies a lot of food for two guys. Really had no idea what to expect. Haluski was good, the pierogies came Luke warm and soaked in oily butter. Like the cab driver said you can find better. I'd pass on this spot.
01
I was very disappointed in the quality of the pierogies and the haluski at Pierogies Plus. I ordered them hot and I purchased enough so that I could have leftovers the next day. When I got home and opened the containers, something smelled odd. When I started to eat, it tasted just as odd. As it turns out, what is referred to as 'butter sauce' is a misrepresentation of what it really is-----margarine, which I eliminated from my diet years ago because of the trans fats and the fact that any way you cut it, butter makes for a better product. Sorry Allison B, ain't no butter here. Margarine is used as a cost-cutting measure, and it just can't measure up. I rinsed off the peirogies and browned them in some butter and my own onions. The haluski got thrown away. For the prices being charged for these products, the proprietor can well-afford to use butter.
01
Have been here two times after stopping at Mancini's Bakery. Have only had the Hamburger/Cheese/Bacon w/ fries but huge portions and great price. Great Quality also. Server is really nice also. Will be eating here again. Heard the Breakfast items are also great. Saw the waffles and pancakes....were huge!
12
Marges is tucked away in the delightful Pittsburgh neighborhood of Mckees Rocks. This place reminds me half of a diner from the 1950's, and half my grandmas kitchen.\n\nThe seating room is accommodation, the service prompt and courteous.The prices are fantastic and so is the food.\n\nI had a grilled hodge podge combination of hot/sweet sausage, potatoes, eggs, and peppers all on one dish for 9.50. It was excellent. Ladies and Gents, I can put food away like a champ and I still had leftovers.\n\nMy friend had a succulent, buttery French Toast. Simple, but they nailed it.\n\nI would return.
12
Great service, great food at a reasonable price! The cheeseburger was as big as my head and delicious and the onion rings were just as good. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and quick to refill drinks. Can't wait to go back!
12
Great small town breakfast spot Highly recommend George's Mixed Grill ... Delicious
12
They do great quality work. The only reason I did not give them five stars is for their lack of customer courtesy not once but twice. I am a very patient and understanding person, but being rude twice means you dont want my business and I tipped 20%.
01
Got my first tattoo here in 1993 and my second a couple weeks later. All these \nYears later they still look great. Haven't faded much and haven't\nHad em touched up. The shop is Professional and clean, I highly \nRecommend. Excellent quality work.
12
ewwww
01
It wasn't a busy night at the neighborhood, but you could have been fooled by how long the food took. While it did take a while everyone was extremely friendly. The food did come out hot, at least mine did, the rest of the plates were plate-warmer hot. Everyone in the table resented me for \""holding back\"" the table since they staff pointed out they were waiting on my burger.\n\nWhich hey works as a segway onto the burger. Quesadilla Burger. I knew that was a mistake but I did it anyways. The patty was sorta flavorful. The toppings were in the bland category. Cheese went MIA. And the tortilla were over-toasted and tasteless.\n\nA big blah overall, which is sad, since we've had a grand ole time and good food in past visits.
01
Called for an arrangement for pickup, told the person who took my order that I would be able to pick the arrangement up at 5:30pm. She asked if I could get there any earlier, I said I would try my best, but I work until 5pm, so maybe not. She said ok. \n\nComes to be 5pm and I get a call from a guy at the shop asking where I was! The lady who took my order wrote down that I'd be there at 5pm. I explained that I never said that and picked the arrangement up a little before 5:30pm. \n\nArrangement was just OK. I specifically wanted a lot of orange flowers, which they did, but they added strange colors with the orange... and some of the flowers were already a little wilted. \n\nEven though the location is convenient, I will probably go elsewhere for a flower order next time.
01
i had a fantastic experience here. I got to the shop just before they weer about to close, but the owner was very gracious about creating an arrangement for me. The flowers were lovely. I would make a special trip just to purchase from this shop again.
12
The order process went well and the delivery arrived in a timely manner. I saw a picture of the flowers my friend received and the arrangement wasn't even close to what was pictured on the website...a lot more filler flowers despite ordering the premium arrangement. I picked this place specifically because of what they offered despite other cheaper places in the area. I am disappointed because I wanted the best arrangement possible for my friend who is going through a tough time. \n\nI will not order from this place again.
01
Meh. I've ordered from here twice and not really been enthusiastic about the results either time. Keep in mind that I haven't had pizza from this place yet!\n\nTheir steak hoagie is middling-good; nothing to write home about, but a pretty good example of the standard Pittsburgh pizza place steak hoagie.\n\nThe seafood calzone is another story. Something in it was so bitter I couldn't quite eat it; I'm wondering if it was the garlic or perhaps a leftover burnt taste from the oven. Whatever it was, it was gross. The shrimp weren't that good either, suffering as they did from that certain \""I taste like iodine\"" flavor.\n\nThe advantage to R&B is that they're open reasonably late, given the location, but the phone service is rather surly and it always takes them an hour plus to deliver. Which would be OK if I didn't live a block away (normally I'd just walk and pick it up, but just for you, Yelpers, I subject myself to the vagaries of sitting on my rear end on the couch waiting for my food to arrive).

Excellent pizza - although the mushrooms were from a can. But the crust , sauce and rest of toppings on the Sicilian pizza were delicious. Nice family friendly
12
Service was very good..calzone was excellent.
12
Best pizza in the North Boros. I can't make a trip to the area without stopping at Luigi's. When I was a kid, the man himself actually owned the place and made the pizza, but they've since moved to a new location under new ownership...but the pizza is still just as good. I prefer the thin-crust, but the Sicilian is also excellent. The fried zucchini is a favorite and the mozzarella sticks are great, too. The calzones are tasty, but may cause a coronary-- if you expect more than a handful of spinach among cheese in the spinach calzone, you'll be disappointed. Because it's Pittsburgh, the chicken salad comes with french fries. I tend to opt for take-out, but there is also a mid-sized dining section.
12
I have been eating at Luigi's since before birth (my mom loves this stuff). The new location is nice, but I miss the coziness of the old place. \nThe food has been consistent through the transition, which happened a long while ago by the way. Also, I have read a few other reviews that said Luigi's has left but I talk with him every time I am in. Regardless this is a great family owned pizzeria and I recommend the calzone because it is generously stuffed with ricotta :).

I stopped by here this past Tuesday in order to pick up a to go pizza. My fiance, a friend and I were trying pizza from three different places and Luigi's was one of them. I have driven by Luigi's many times before and for some reason had never stopped in but that did allow it to come to mind whenever I was looking for a pizza place I had not yet tried in the Bellevue area. Whenever I called to place my order I was told that my pizza would be ready in about 15 minutes. I arrived closer to 30 minutes later and was immediately confused whenever I walked into the restaurant. You see there was a large dining room on the left that was full of people and I didn't immediately see the are where I would get my pizza from. Finally after a few steps into the restaurant I noticed that the whole back area of the restaurant was where I needed to be and I made my way back there. My pizza was ready for me and I quickly paid and was leaving whenever the cashier told me \""Stay out of trouble\"". I really hope that was a friendly sentiment and not one that was based upon my appearance or anything else. The pizza itself had a medium thick crust with a bland sauce which is weird since I could see a ton of green herbs in it. The cheese was just ok and nothing special while the pizza itself had a slightly sour taste to it which I did not enjoy. Out of the three different pizzas we ate that night this one was overwhelmingly our least favorite which was evidenced by the fact that 3/4 of it was left after the evening.\n\nThe bottom line for me is that I will probably not head back to Luigi's in the future. I just don't see myself making a trip to Luigi's between the weird experience (although not bad) that I had in the restaurant and the fact that there are much better pizza places nearby.
01
Just ordered delivery from here. The soup was very good. I also would Recommend the specialty salad. I also was surprised at how quickly the order was delivered. It was delivered within a 1/2 an hour.
12
This place has great tasting food. I had a italian hoagie and it was great. The pizza is top notch.
12
I have never gotten an order correct from this specific McDonald's. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it is never, ever right. It is never quick. The staff is always rude. After trying at least 12-15 times over the past year, I've finally given up hope on this place. Do not recommend.
01
Delivery is slow and not even close to the best Chinese in the area. No matter if it's rice or noodles or chicken or pork, everything tastes off--like it's been overcooked in mop-bucket-water. Try House of Lee instead.
01
Whether you live in Ben Avon Heights, Brighton Heights - or anywhere in between - I urge you to try China Sea. It is quite simply the best local Chinese delivery. The people on the phone are helpful and friendly. The delivery is always quoted at 45 minutes, yet the food always arrives earlier and is always unbelievably hot and fresh. Some favorites of ours are the Kung Pao shrimp, pork lo mein and hot and sour soup. I don't mean to compare China Sea to the higher end Chinese restaurants in our area. It is not Sesame Inn or China Palace; it is not a \""date night out\"" sort of place. It most definitely is a cozy, inexpensive, good quality \""stay in and relax\"" go to. Hope this helps! Enjoy!\n\nps\nA few final thoughts while we were going back for seconds; they only use all white meat chicken in their dishes.\npps\nAlways look at their online coupons, you will get something free!
12
The pros:\nYou get a TON of food for your money. If the food was actually decent, this would have been even better because... LEFTOVERS. \nThey have coupons on their website that you can use whenever. \n\n\nThe cons:\nThe woman who answers the phone is kinda rude. You try to ask her questions and she gets an attitude with you like you're wasting her time. \nMy pork dumplings were \""fried\"" only on one side and were raw in the middle. \nEverything was pretty darn salty. Yeah, I get it. Chinese food tends to be a little salty, but this was unacceptably salty. \nLeftovers... Yes this is also a con because I threw it away. Suffering through it once was enough! \n\nIf you're craving something made fresh that is spicy and sweet, you're not going to find it here. Just very greasy, very salty, poor excuse for Chinese takeout.
01
If you have any common sense at all, please don't stay here. Once, it almost burnt down...and I'm pretty sure most of the locals were chanting \""burn, baby, burn.\""
01
Horrifying. This place should be ashamed of itself. DO NOT STAY HERE. Beyond dirty, just absolutely rank.
01
OMG who wrote the review below? A big fat liar/someone that was paid to write that! I stayed there for an hour this past weekend (my friend and I were both intoxicated and figured laying down a few hours would get us better suited to finish driving home). This place looks like it hasb't been cleaned (or furnished) since the 80s. Literally there was grime on the walls, and squashed, unwiped bug smears too. Ok, so not the best, but for two hours, we could deal. We looked for bed bugs, and didn't see any immediate signs of them- so we laid down to rest. After about 20-30 minutes, we both started itching like crazy. I ran to the bathroom mirror (there was mold all over the bathroom) and saw bed bug bites all on my shoulders, arms, and legs. HORRIBLE!! PLEASE Health Department, shut them down! It's deplorable in there!!
01
I can't even rate this place! Its absolutely disgusting! I begged the health department to shut them down! I was forced to stay a night here and it was so disgusting! I woke up with bed bug bites all over my body! Just filthy! DO NOT STAY HERE!
01
Fair prices but good quality... And amazing designs that are custom made.... Plus gel and solar nails are available for those interested... Offers waxing services... Completely renovated and the spa pedicure chair is amazing...

My Mom was up from Mississippi for Thanksgiving, and claimed to be in dire need of a manicure. I wanted to try somewhere in my new 'hood (Brighton Heights), so I turned to trusty Yelp for advice. Off to Star Nails we went. The inside was bright and tidy, the pedicure stations looked clean and newer, and the ladies were friendly. Unfortunately, the good feelings didn't last long. We each picked a color, and went to our respective technicians. The technician doing my nails as very nice and talkative, but just very inattentive to detail. I got no hand/arm massage, minimal shaping, and the polish application was exceptionally sloppy and thick. Her attempts to clean up the polish all over my cuticles were futile. Their actual technique was strange too, as both technicians had us dry our nails after the first coat was applied. My Mom and I left and almost in unison declared it to be the worst manicure we've gotten. At least the price wasn't exorbitant ($13 + tip each). Perhaps their other services are better, but I'll be giving the other nail shops in the area a chance next time.
01
I got a pedicure here. Not bad, they were pretty thorough. But two days later both of my big toes were infected and oozing pus where she trimmed my toenails on the sides (which was weird anyway). I hate to rate a local shop down, but man my toes hurt.
01
My boyfriend and i went here last night. the restaurant is dark romantic and the decor is amazing. There are photographs of the owners and chefs family on the walls.... its cute. My boyfriend called ahead and told them i was vegetarian and the chef prepared a couple of things for me. There is no set menu and the waitress reads out what the chef has prepared for the night there are 5 courses. an appetizer, pasta, main course, a salad and and dessert. I thought the salad after the entree was pretty interesting . They are also very generous with the bread which i LOVED!!!!\nEvery meal was made to perfection. It had a homey feeling .....\nMy boyfriend had some scallops that he is still talking about. My entree was spaghetti squash with mushroom wild rice and berries and limed artichokes. There were soo many flavors and all the ingredients were balanced. The service was great.\n All in all it was an amazing experience. The chef came out to say hi at the end of the night...... i finished off my dinner with the creme brulee and some coffee. Our bill came to $120 with tip and it was absolutely worth it .\nThis is a great restaurant for a super special occasions and it is very private.Not to dressy and not too casual.\n Pick out a great bottle of wine or two and get ready to get your taste buds blown.\n Im pretty sure my boyfriend and i will be going back.
12
Yes!!!!!!\n\n\n\n\nGreat service!\nGreat Food!\nLove the BYOB!!! ($5).

STAY AWAY, the owners are so rude, they blatantly say they are not doing well and then try to pretend they have the best hairdressers in Pittsburgh. they make you feel so unwelcome, advertise they offer a bunch of services and then when you ask they snap at you that they only do hair. it was so awkward and weird . i received warnings not to get my hair done there so i was going to get a pedicure because i had a gift certificate. she told me her employees will only take cash if they have to touch a client's feet. I may go there just to get bangs trimmed since i do not want to completely waste the certificate, but this place gives me the creeps, sounds dirty, and has beyond bad customer service. They definitely do NOT know how to run a business and it is obvious why they are not doing well. Sue and Kristi pass the phone back and forth because noone wants to take a call. she reiterates that the business is doing bad and they need more clients. i have never experienced a ruder salon, or should i say dead beat shack.
01
I think it is ridiculous that they say they need more clients! I was all ready to be a new client. I had a 12:30 appointment with them, and when I arrived at 12:30 on the dot, the place was locked and dark and no one was there! I waited for five minutes (in the rain), and they still didn't show. I called and left a voicemail saying that I was still willing to wait, and I understood if there was some confusion, but could they call my cell (I gave them the number, as I had previously given my home number when I made the appointment). I waited nearby at a coffee shop, went back after another five minutes, and it was still locked and I hadn't received a call. And I am definitely not estimating the time, either. I was willing to wait a bit, and I looked very closely at the time on my phone to be sure that I wasn't jumping the gun on calling and then leaving. Finally, I went on with my day and when I got home, they had left a voicemail on my HOME PHONE, which I had specifically asked them not to call, saying, \""Oh hi. Sorry you missed me, but I was MAYBE two minutes late at the most. I hope you haven't left, but you should just call back to reschedule.' Seriously? When I was waiting, another woman came to the door. I thought she worked there, but she was just another client, also trying to get in! When I told this story at another local business, the women there said that I was probably the fourth person who had had this same experience at this place. I couldn't believe it. This place is the worst, and I have never even stepped inside!
01
Now I'm picky about my hair, but Mane Attractions was so bad that I walked out after about 15 minutes of watching the stylists work on other clients.\n\nI had desperately needed a haircut and walked in for a major trim and re-shaping of my layers. First, the girl at the counter said my hair might be \""difficult\"" due to the length (it was nearly long enough to sit on at the time) and that I would probably have to stand while it was cut. Weird, but okay. Second, no one there knew anything about donating to \""Locks of Love,\"" and I feel like salons should be aware of things like that. I needed a cut so I went for it anyway.\n\nI watched the two stylists while I waited for my turn. One stylist told the client whose hair she was cutting that she was going to do something other than what they discussed because it \""wasn't looking right.\"" Ummm, okay. The other stylist was too busy checking her phone every three seconds to notice she was yanking on her client's hair so hard with the comb that she was giving her poor client whiplash.\n\nAt that point, I just pretended like I had received an urgent text and said, \""I have to leave, so sorry \""as I bolted for the door.
01
Let me just tell you, I have really, really difficult hair. type 3b Naturally curly, 100% grey, I dye it dark and mess with the color myself. ( never good) If you want to know where to get a good haircut you ask someone with my hair. Since I have been going to Mane Attractions I have really LOVED my hair. I have been going there for about 4 years. Kristi was even able to cut my curly hair into a short reverse bob without making me look like i was wearing a helmet. ( you curly girls know what I am talking about). I have had nothing but complements on my hair and even my mom( who is always honest) is impressed. The only complaint I ever have is that yes, sometimes I have gone there on the spur of the moment and it has been closed during the week. I just know to call and schedule things. it is a small business and I get it. P.S. kids haircuts are only 10$ and My daughter loves it.
12
My daughter CAN'T pass by here without asking to get something. All I can say is you had better bring your sweet tooth!
12
Got a key lime pie from this place. It was horrid. Icing was stale cake thick, crust was not even crunchy or had taste, and the key lime was weak. Pie looked it it was sitting out for a day or 2.
01
Everytime I eat at this location I end up with a sick stomach. I don't have that problem at other Arby's. The dining area is clean and everything else seems ok but I always get a sick stomach. Maybe they should relook at their food prep.
01
Without question, this is my favorite thrift store in the greater Pittsburgh region. I find antique kitchenwares here that are older than my grandma, worth $85 if the antique mall is to be believed, and priced at $2.50. The 50%-off sales actually pay off here. The merchandise turns over quickly. The staff is a real cast of characters (don't miss the steelers tattoos!!! i'm seriously serious, they are amazing). there are bicycles for you and your kids in decent-semi-working condition. The balance of stuff is about half and half valuable old vintage and more modern hand-me-downs. The prices are reasonable to cheap. The plastic bags on the wall are often a treasure trove. The kitchen section could outfit your kitchen in fondue pots for days. Most thrift store remodels result in ridiculous high prices to pay for the construction. The remodel here just means a bigger, cleaner store and parking lot. \n\nI have spent, cumulatively, probably several weeks of my life in this store. This is, hands-down, without question, the thing I miss most about leaving Pittsburgh. This store is the largest single contributor to my wardrobe, outside of H&M.
12
So I came to this Red White and Blue with high hopes of thrift store mecca, and I will get to how I left empty handed and in tears. First, I'll walk you through my experience. \n This place is pretty large, and relatively clean, with a nice parking lot. The racks are packed with clothes - and I mean, hard to move the hangers because there is so much stock, which can be a pro or a con depending on how you like it. I found it a bit cumbersome since although the clothes are organized by type (dress vs. blouse) there is NO size separation. In a place this huge, it takes quite a long time to find what you're looking for without the size separation. But, I'm not one to abandon a bargain because I don't want to look around (after all, that is what its all about), so I gave a good 30 min-45 and got a handful of garments to try on. (I would typically spend a few hours, but I was trying to spare a friend not as keen on secondhand garments). With my carefully extracted finds I searched in vain for a fitting room, never to find one. After asking the staff where it was, I had to take a seat and leave my jaw dropped for a while because THERE IS NO FITTING ROOM! \nI couldn't take this fact into my brain, and although there were some household items I wanted to go back and buy, I was too upset to continue. (Sidenote: yes, I can understand how this can work for the RWB, but imho it is unforgivable, and I wish there was at least some warning before spending my time searching for a bargain when I couldn't even see if it would fit). \n\nI would recommend this store if you are looking for something specific secondhand especially for dishes, or older electronics, or even beauty products. There was even a used Nikon SLR with a wide angle lens ($200 though)! \nBut if you plan on buying a sundress, and don't plan on stripping down in front of your fellow thrifties, you'd better be confident in your purchase. RWB is just like any other thrift store, and you can't return or exchange your items, so you'd be out of luck and out of money.
01
I cannot imagine a more miserable place to shop than this jam-packed monstrosity. This is a store that makes me thankful for Goodwill and The Salvation Army resale stores. The customers and the staff are miserable at Red White and Blue. The clothes are priced far higher than other such shops. Merchandise is not refundable or exchangeable, and there are no fitting rooms! One purchases clothes at their own risk! What person would buy a suit under these conditions, hoping the pants will fit? Unlike other stores, there is no senior discount and no credit cards accepted, a rare cash only business. To the reviewer who boasts that everything is 50% off every day, how is that a sale? It is bogus pricing. Red White and Blue, uggh!
01
Love the store. Great stuff, High price. Buyer BEWARE of the RUDE cashier SYLVIA, extremely unpleasant, unwilling to help and always with NEGATIVE attitude. She needs customer service training....Someone please tell her to stop complaining about other customers or employees....Cashier that does window display is always kind, friendly and helpful.
01
Prices not great for true thrifters. Staff completely useless. No dressing rooms. I simply have nothing to say about this place.
01
I love love LOVE this store. I thought the one on Saw Mill Run was great but this was i think is way awesomer. If only awesomer were a word. I love to go here and find lots of home decor items to decorate my house. candle holders, DIning sets, paints, sculptures and sooo much more. I found this small desk lamp that has a victorian look to it with the shade included for $4. The lamp shade was made of some kind of smooth material almost like leather. It's such a great find. There are plenty of items for sale at this place and most of them are in great shape. \n\nSo the clothes which occupy most of the store are the best find. The Store has certain days that offer you %50 certain color tags. I went on a Monday and it was half off yellow and white tags. Other days its half off blue, or green or red. I love to go on Saturdays!! This past week it was half off every tag except white. I found so many items for such a cheap price. $7 shirts for $3.50 and tunics for $4. Have you ever find items for $1?? I have!!! I love when I find a great shirt or sweater for $3 or less. Or when you find a brand new item with the tags on them for under $7. I bought a brand new pair of Arizona Jeans (in my size) for $5. I couldn't believe it. I was too excited.\n\nThe clothes are organized by color but not by size which is a good and bad thing. I like to shop by color since I don't wear too many yellows or purples. I can avoid those sections all together but when I do find a nice shirt in the color I want the size becomes an issue. There were a lot of nice shirt that were just too small or too big. Even when i have to pass on a nice shirt I tend to find one that's just as good at the same price. \n\nShopping here is a gold find!! My sister was the one who introduced me to this store and i used to make fun of her for shopping thrift. If I had known that It was nothing like the Good Will I would have been here a lot sooner. Now my sister makes fun f me for going so often. What an amazing place this is!! I'll probably never shop retail again!!\n\nREMINDER: CASH ONLY!!\n-But they have an ATM!! $2.50 fee

This is one of the true sleepers of \""neighborhood Pittsburgh.\"" Since 1979, this \""diner/family restaurant\"" has been serving excellent breakfasts and home-cooked dinners. The staff has been there as long.\n\nThey have some of the best fresh-brewed iced tea in the city. They also have my favorite pancakes. If you're looking for a cheap, low key, dependable place to go, come home at 8 o'clock one evening, sit in the window, and especially around the holiday season, I assure you that it will be one of the best \""old time\"" meals you'll ever have. \n\nI hate its name, but I love the Rusty Nail.
12
The home-cooked breakfasts at The Rusty Nail in Bellevue are wonderful, prices are reasonable, the wait staff are gems, and is often bragged about by Bellevue locals. That said, two stars is all I can muster primarily due to the tiny, cramped dining area. I've witness people at three tables being disrupted while they are eating so departing diners would have enough room to push their chair away from the table and pass by others just to leave.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I adore that Pittsburgh is a small, friendly city, but I'm not fond of getting elbowed in the back as the guy behind me cuts his breakfast steak and eggs, nor knowing his guest gargled with Cool Mint Listerine this morning (or worse, didn't) . Yes, the tables are packed THAT close together. And whatever you do, don't dare bring a large friend here to dine when it's busy unless you enjoy feeling like a complete 'jag off' for doing so on the way out.
01
I really wanted to like the Rusty Nail. I love little local restaurants like this. But it really is a very tight squeeze, to begin with. They really need to pull some tables out of there to make more room. We were right on top of another table with two very loud young children, and there was just no buffer. And the food was.... just so bland! I get that it was supposed to be homestyle cooking, but it just had no flavor. To be fair, we did go for dinner, and I understand that this place is more of a breakfast joint, so I would be willing to try it again sometime for breakfast. For dinner though, unless you like super-bland food, I probably wouldn't return for seconds.
01
Given that the Rusty Nail has been highly recommended to me as a good breakfast spot by various sources, I'm sad to say I was sorely disappointed. \n\nThey have a wide selection of breakfast options. However, even with numerous breakfast specials listed, not one included eggs, meat, potatoes AND toast. Yes, that's right. I had to order the eggs, bacon and toast special with a side of the potatoes. When my food was served, the portions were average except for the side order of potatoes. I did greatly enjoy the potatoes, though, which I ordered deep fried. My dining companion ordered the French toast with ham and enjoyed it very much. \n\nWe were here on a weekday morning so we didn't have to worry about it being crowded. The service was good. And it's not that I thought anything was bad, it's just that, as the two star rating says, \""Meh, I've experienced better.\"" Given the plethora of choices in Bellevue, this will not be my first stop should I find myself on Lincoln Avenue for breakfast again.
01
I always see this place, and Saturday we decided to stop in for lunch. The atmosphere was pleasant. My boyfriend had the buffalo chicken sandwich, which he loved. I however, ordered the steak and cheese pita and was extremely disappointed. The pita was soft and fresh but the steak was terrible. It was very steak-um like and saturated with grease. When I picked up the sandwich grease poured from it. I'm not one to send back food, and that's my fault, but the waitress came by once as I was eating, over heard me upset about my food, looked at me then continued on her way. Needless to say I don't think I will be returning.
01
I had one of the breakfast specials and it was fantastic. There was also a continuous flow of coffee, which is always nice. Probably just missed the church crowd so it wasn't too busy either. Definitely a good breakfast spot.
12
Place has amazing omelettes that are almost as big as the size of the plate. You get a really big side of home fries too. This is probably my favorite place for breakfast in Pittsburgh. I generally go in and get a seat right away without waiting. Service is usually fast and friendly. Two downsides to the place. 1) they are cash only which can be an inconvenience. I never remember to have cash until I get my bill so I have to run to the ATM. 2) the seating is limited and the tables are very close to each other so people there can most likely hear your conversations. Place overall is excellent and is worth a try at least for breakfast. The lunches and dinner selections aren't bad either!!
