The establishment was gracious to accommodate us since my wife was working in Monroeville and got to the event at 7pm. We were able to still order under the event. THANK YOU! The food was EXCELLENT and Fresh. The ingredients were spot on. Did order Appetizers, Soup, Sandwich and Calzone. If you like Cheeseburgers recommend the Cheeseburger Soup. Also, recommend the STEAK Calzone it will feed 2 - 3 people and every bite has steak thru out. Finally, the ambiance of the restaurant was Excellent from Hostess to Waitress. Clean overall and enjoyable dinner environment.

Unfortunately though, the wings were what disappointed me. They were extremely small, hard, dry, and chewy in a way that just was not what you expect when you hear the word "wings." The person I was eating with kept insisting the wings are not usually like that and said they were big and juicy the last time, although apparently less crispy, so there definitely appears to be inconsistency with them. We still liked the crispy skin and finished them, but overall they honestly felt more like crunchy chicken chips than actual wings. I have just never had wings that small and hard before, or with such little meat. Maybe it was a fluke, but based on what we got, I personally would not have been comfortable serving wings like that if I owned a restaurant. The pizza was not bad however. The crust was easily my favorite part as I loved how it was fluffy and chewy at the same time. While I also enjoyed the subtle garlic Alfredo type and Italian type flavorings adding a little acid or bitter to balance out the fat or the subtle sweetness to the cheese would have helped. I also found myself wanting a thicker, less oily, more intense cheese flavor, more fresh herbs, and a stronger garlic flavor. Overall, while I enjoyed the texture of the crust for the pizzas, which made even better leftovers, and also enjoyed the hoagie, the very hard and very small amount of meat in the wings lead to a lower rating in this review.

My wife got the bacon yinzer burger (apparently all items with 'yinzer' in the name have mac and cheese on them). It was huge in every way, also messy (maybe a bit too much; the burger got lost in the pile). The fries were thin and very crispy. I got the rueben, which was not quite as huge but tasty. Went with lighter chips instead of fries. Others in our party got the yinzer quesadilla (this one probably would have been just fine without mac and cheese; it didn't quite fit) and the sausage sandwich (a big hit; lots of red sauce if that is your thing). My kids had the chicken tenders and hot dog, plus fries. All were a-ok for kiddo menu items.

Rocky's is the rare place that I decided to wait until my second visit to review, and I'm glad I…read moredid. I've been hearing about Rocky's for years from my dad, who loves him some buffet. He is pretty indiscriminate in his tastes, and my mom rolls her eyes just about every time the subject of Rocky's comes up. But buffets are one of dad's passions, and Rocky's his is second favorite (to give a sense of scale, his favorite is that cooked by the high school kids at Beattie Tech). I bet my dad will hear about this if Rocky reads this. Rocky, if you are reading this, be patient, the story will get better as it goes! During this first visit, I just didn't have the heart to write a review or the gumption to take any pictures. I mean, who takes pictures of the Rocky's buffet? The place is scattered with a handful of diehard locals and regulars. There are no tourists, city folk, or young Yelpers up in the buffet's business taking pictures. I started with salad, scraping up the last few bits of spinach, but mostly iceberg; very few toppings, croutons, baby carrots. There was a house dressing and a bottle sitting out. There were some cheap dinner rolls like you get for 99c at Shop-n-Save, rectangular pulls aparts. Oddly, there was a buffet pan with two flavors of potato chips. I have a soft spot for chips but unfortunately they were starting to get soft. There was chicken and a bunch of non-descript American meats, gnoochi in a simple red sauce, kielbasa, Normandy vegetables (the frozen blend of broccoli, carrots, & cauliflower). There were tater tots that were a little soggy, not crisp. My other half &I had been having a bad day, and we found ourselves being inexplicably revived by this awful buffet. We were baffled. We both felt comforted. Somehow. When I started eating the tater tots, I commented that I hadn't eaten them since I was a kid. My other half replied that he hadn't eaten them since he'd had them in the school cafeteria. Then we looked at each other and had our Ah Ha moment: this was school cafeteria food! This is why even though we were eating stuff we hadn't eaten in many years, and wouldn't normally choose or even crave, we were enjoying it and were comforted. For both of us, raised in different areas, it mirrored the food of our childhoods. This is why I didn't review the first time: how do you quantify an experience like that? That by our normal measures, would get a scathing one star (even though we went in with low expectations) but for a constellation of swirling reasons, was exactly what we needed that day? I shouldn't have worried. Dad, having been successful in getting the kids to Rocky's once, was on a mission for a repeat visit. He got the schedule of buffet themes, and of Italian, German, and Polish, we picked Polish food. So the family trip to Rocky's Polish buffet was scheduled two weeks in advance. My parents said that in the past Rocky's mom, whom they call Mama, made the pierogies. They had heard she hadn't been well, so we were prepared for Mrs. T's (but my opinion was that even Mrs. T's would be better than the cheap knock-offs that my parents buy in plastic bags). My parents were excited when Mama greeted us at the door, but dissapointed when the pierogies were perfect half circles. But hey, these pierogies were great, and they were so good, I at them for dessert. (Probably has to do with the fact that when I eat pierogies at home I boil them with kale. Mama on the other hand served them as they should, with onions and butter). They were too the moon awesome. The other stand-out dish was the sarma/golumpki/stuffed cabbage. Neither other half nor I are big meat eaters, but these were tasty golumpkis. The meat was moist and flavorful, the cabbage was tender, and there was plenty of red sauce. There was also halushki, kielbasa, and baked ziti. For dessert I had strawberries. The Polish buffet was an all-around satisfying experience. This folks, is a genuine slice of Pittsburgh worth trekking to. It's not high cuisine but if you can't handle how the hipsters have taken over Lawrenceville, head out to Shaler, where they haven't made any inroads at Rocky's.
