    We went to Lagerheads for our first visit. We found the staff to be very nice and helpful, and the…read moreplace was very clean. For appetizers, we tried their cheese fries (pretty good, though a little pricey for some french fries covered in cheese), and the stuffed peppers app special they were running. We found the peppers to be very good. They were definitely the star of our visit. For dinners, we tried a burger and a quesadilla, which were both good. The burger was great quality. Also had a reuben, though this was a little disappointing. Too much bread and not enough of anything on it, really. I probably would not get that again, unfortunately. It was okay, just mediocre when you want a good reuben. We also had the fish sandwich, and my daughter said it was "okay." We definitely would go back and try something else. Will update when and if we do.

    Used to eat here back in the 80s when I lived in town, but I came back for a weekend visit to…read morePittsburgh and to see my old stomping grounds so I had to stop at Bud Murphy's. Just got the cheese pizza and enjoyed it very much. Definitely a place I'll eat each time. I come back to visit the hometown.

    I am leaving a 2-star review, and the wings were the only thing that saved this from being a 1-star…read moreexperience. When we arrived (party of three), my husband and I ordered a small pizza and 12 wings, and our friend ordered a pot roast sandwich with wings. It took about 15 minutes just for someone to take our drink order. Our waitress explained there was a delay due to staff singing happy birthday, which we understood. After placing our food order, we waited another 20 minutes. Eventually, the kitchen brought out both orders of wings and the pot roast sandwich--but no pizza. When our waitress checked on us, we mentioned the missing pizza, and she explained it comes from a separate line and would be out later. That was fine, but no effort was made to check on it or follow up. We nearly finished all of our food, and still no pizza. Our waitress then returned with boxes and the check, asking if we needed anything else. At that point, I again mentioned the missing pizza. She rolled her eyes and repeated that it comes from a different line. By then, we were already done eating and no longer wanted it. What followed was extremely unprofessional. After we declined the pizza, she stormed off, removed it from the bill, then came back holding the pizza, dropped the check on the table, and said, "Well here it is--you don't want it?!" She then offered the pizza to a nearby table in an irritated tone. When I said I would be mentioning this in my review, she responded, "I don't know why you're so mad, I did nothing wrong." When I tried to calmly explain the situation from a customer perspective, she interrupted, put her hand up toward me, and said, "Whatever, I don't care, you're nasty." She then continued speaking negatively about us to coworkers within earshot. This was one of the most unprofessional dining experiences I've ever had. There was no apology at any point, no accountability, and no basic courtesy such as thanking us or acknowledging us when we left. The food was okay, but the service completely overshadowed the experience.

    Unfortunately, this is the first time I have felt compelled to leave a negative review on a place…read more My boyfriend and I had high hopes for our Valentine's dinner at Small Town Tavern. We had never been, but our expectations fell drastically short. I ordered the endless crab legs and my boyfriend had the prime rib, both premium-priced entrees for the holiday, along with specialty drinks. The Valentine's promotion never mentioned that sharing wasn't allowed, and our waitress, although very kind, never stated it either. The issue arose when the manager came over and offered "refills" without clarifying she meant crab legs. Since both of our drinks were empty, we assumed she meant beverages. Instead of clarifying, she just gave us a look that made us feel as if we were stupid, which made the interaction uncomfortable. When we realized she was talking about crab legs, she asked if we both had ordered them. I said, "No, just me" but I also mentioned that my boyfriend had eaten a crab leg or two. In the moment, I didn't realize he hadn't actually even eaten any--he was just helping me crack them open. That's when she abruptly told us we weren't supposed to be sharing. If there is a strict no-sharing policy, it should be clearly communicated in the promotion or at the table beforehand. Being corrected mid-meal, especially in a dismissive tone, took away from what was supposed to be a special Valentine's experience. Clearer communication and a more welcoming approach would go a long way.

It is clean, and they've done a good job keeping with the sports bar theme. As far as apps go, we've tried the Fried Deviled Eggs, the Brussels Sprouts with all the good bacon and bleu cheese, the pretzel bites, and the humongous Cheese Stick (The Big Stick) "snake" haha. All were AMAZING. For dinners, we've tried the Cajun Shrimp pasta, Lemon Herb Chicken (went back twice just for this one!), Chicken Parm, a Steak Quesadilla, Gnocchi, Chicken Cutlet Sandwich, and the Pierogi Flatbread. We loved everything, and would have no problem getting them again. My ONLY criticism would be two things: 1, that the marinara that is used is very acidic, and 2, I didn't care for the French Onion Soup that I upgraded to. Both of these, though, could purely just be a preference/personal taste thing. Would I get them again?--Yes. They weren't bad. Just not what I prefer. We definitely are glad this restaurant has opened, and look forward to going back again soon! They have a good price vs. portion vs. quality going for them, and I really hope they can stay consistent with how things are going. It is definitely worth giving the place a chance. I will update accordingly.
