I was a little surprised at surprised at the prices as i thought they were high. However, when i saw their portions i was taken aback. Very large portions for a hungry person. Staff was pretty good, this place was busy. In all honesty there's not much competition in the area. The wedding soup was a bit of a disappointment as they used spinach instead of escarole which left the soup flat and not very tasty. I got baked scrod which was fantastic! Based on the scrod alone i would have gave them 5 stars however the wedding soup was not that good. This is a family type place. I liked it and would not only recommend it i would be back based on the tasty fish alone! read more

Armstrong's Restaurant - American Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

We came here for lunch on a week day. The place was full but we got seated pretty quickly. The portions are huge and they're delicious. For $12 I got a decent size wedding soup, eggplant parmigiana and pasta that could feed me two meals. The service was friendly and prompt. I would definitely come back again. read more

Previous experiences at Armstrong's were great. Now they only have take out. No in restaurant service. For that reason I give them a 1 star rating read more

So consistent! Great food. Penne vodka sauce with chicken is my hands down fave thing on the menu but I've never had something I didn't enjoy! read more

Not what it used to be!!! The food is not good quality anymore not to mention cleanliness has lapsed

We used to love to eat in there! counting down the days before the restaurant opens for dine in, My work family gets takeout from there all the time we continue to love the food! read more

I've been eating here since I was a kid. Excellent Italian. We do take out most of the time. Haven't dined in for quite a while but looking forward to it. read more

Armstrong's is wonderful! It's important to understand what it is though. It's an old-world Italian-American red-sauce kind of place and if you're expecting some kind of nouvelle cuisine Italian place serving fussy tiny things on big plates, look elsewhere. I had a yearning for a good plate of eggplant parm, and I wasn't disappointed. I started off with the wedding soup which was absolutely delicious, and a generous-sized bowl. Lots of tasty little meatballs, acini di pepe pasta, chopped spinach and carrot threads, honestly it was better than I've had in trips to the Italian neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Boston, New York or Toronto. The eggplant was served after that with a side of linguini and marinara sauce. The (lunch) eggplant was a good sized portion, despite being quite a bit smaller than what I see in the photos as the dinner size. It was smothered in red sauce and nicely melted cheese, yet retained its fresh-fried crunch. Perfect! The side pasta wasn't anything to write home about, the linguini wan't al dente, but I didn't expect it to be. They also serve a bread basket to all tables, there were four big slices of fresh (commercial) Italian bread (that's traditional for a place like this but it's never been a favorite of mine; I prefer a crusty French or sourdough). Service was great, fast and friendly, and the place is cozy, clean and not very noisy as many places are these days. At lunch time on week days, the place is surprisingly full, with many retirees whom I suspect have been going there for years. I too will be back, next time I have a yearning for the Italian-American classics. There are perhaps a dozen things on the menu I've already targeted to try including the homemade ravioli, veal parm, steak salad, ricotta-stuffed eggplant, and the meatball casserole! read more

I went to the Armstrong's in Whitehall a number of years ago, well before I even knew what Yelp was, and back then I found it somewhat underwhelming. After luncheoning here this afternoon, my feelings about the Armstrong's franchise is about the same. I recall ordering a burger at the Whitehall franchise and hated how the bread tasted stale and fell apart. My Buffalo Chicken sandwich suffered the same fate. The chicken itself was tender and juicy, however, even if the ranch dressing was a bit watery. Our Baked Artichoke appetizer was a simple winner. Tangy, oily, madly in love with garlic, we found that the remainder of the sauce for the plump thistle hearts went great with the complimentary bread. I liked Kay's Penne A La Vodka, but I would have liked to have tasted more of the vodka. Other than that, it was richly creamy, and the penne itself was boiled perfectly al dente. Two large wedges of their housemade pies came for dessert; Raspberry Creme and Chocolate Mousse. The RC was a basic pudding pie merged with a strawberry cheesecake topping. The CM's filling was light, airy, only mildly sweet with a layer of fudge and sprayed-on whipped cream rounding it out. They were both impressive to look at but were a bit undistinctive and boring tastewise. When I was at the one in Whitehall, I wished I had ordered a steak. As we were on our way to this one in Coraopolis, I told myself to order a steak. As I sat down, I told myself to order a steak. As I dined, I wished I had ordered a steak. When I left I wished I had ordered a steak. Why the hell didn't I just order a steak? read more

I could write a book about Armstrongs. Here are the basics. Delicious Food- yes! Attentive Staff- yes! (John was on excellent last night) High Quality- yes! Huge Portions- yes! If I had to choose one item to pick as a favorite- I couldn't. This isn't a place known for something, Armstrong's is known for everything they do. Calzones - delicious and huge to the point of being ridiculous. I've been ordering them for over 20+ years. They don't get any better! Fresh, high quality ingredients. Made to order. Perfected sauce. Fresh dough done right. Amazing meats. Enough for the whole family, yet made perfectly specific for one. When I order this I know I've invested in meal not for just one night but also maybe a little snack later, lunch the next day, and maybe even dinner the next night. It's so good. Wings. So good. Despite the plethora of amazing wing options nearby & amazing other options Armstongs offers, the wings are a favorite. Often when attending parties they're my go to pick up. Always a crowd pleaser and never a wing left in the pan! Tons of compliments abound when Armstongs wings arrive. Chicken Parm to go- yes please! Could it get any easier to feed a crowd a "home cooked meal". Not when you have Armstrongs. Another family secret for serving a crowd at our home when time is crunched and we want an excellent meal. A tray of Armstrongs Chicken Parm is the answer! Quick, ridiculously easy, ridiculously cheap for a large crowd, ridiculously always given TONS of complements for barely lifting a finger. read more

Eggplant parm half tray was given to me as a gift and it was amazing! Held up wonderfully. Not soggy whatsoever. The sauce is delicious as well. read more

Armstrong's Restaurant - Eggplant parm with a meatball and side of peppers. - American Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

I have never had a bad meal here! The service is great and the food delicious. Basically Italian, but offers all kinds of dishes.

Armstrong's is one of my favorite restaurants. I LOVE the Buffalo chicken sandwich! The portions are great too!

This place was recommended to me by locals while I was on a business trip to Moon. I'm glad I took the recommendation. The food was great, the portions were huge, and the service was friendly. read more

I found Armstrong's Restaurant during a Google search, and yesterday was my first visit. Over the phone, I placed an order for pick-up. Their menu consists of wings, Italian appetizers, soups, salads, burgers, hoagies, calzones, pasta, seafood, various proteins such as veal parmigiana and chicken romano, sides, desserts, and beverages. When I drove to the restaurant to pick up the food, I had some difficulty finding it because the building did not have a large sign outside. The food was ready on time, and the cashier said hello and thank you. My husband said that his veal parmigiana, pasta, and caesar salad were okay. My baked scrod fish was sitting in a huge puddle of butter, and I tried to shake off some of the butter before eating the fish. My caesar salad tasted good, and my stuffed mushrooms were very large and filled with lots of crab meat. We hardly ate a side of cheesy bread because the cheese was congealed. The restaurant sold some unique beverages such as Australian root beer, which we enjoyed. read more

I am late to the Armstrong's bandwagon. I can kick myself for not coming here more often. It's kind of mind-blowing to me how they stay in business considering the portion sizes they serve and the prices they charge. But whatever, as a customer it suits me just fine. The restaurant is BYOB with no corkage fee. None. Awesome. Penne A La Vodka ($13.95) is excellent and a totally craveable dish. It's perfectly cooked penne in a pink tomato basil and vodka cream sauce. This is easily an entree that can feed two adults. This seems like a pricing mistake and a portion control mistake. But it's in my favor! Saturday is Prime Rib Night at Armstrong's. The queen size cut ($18.00) is perfect for one very hungry adult. The king size cut is completely unfathomable for me - but they were still leaving the kitchen no doubt to feed a family of 4. The prime rib is well marbled, moist and seasoned well. I got to choose two side dishes. I went with the Italian wedding soup (perfect) and the baked potato. Just a great meal altogether. And with the lovely L'Ecole 41 red wine I brought from home, it went perfectly with the pasta and the prime rib. Again, no corkage fee, so I won all around on this one. On a different visit, we ordered two desserts. One was split between our party of 6 and the other was ordered to go. The chocolate banana pie was excellent and the pudding tasted homemade. Crust was thin and flaky and just great. The coconut cream pie was enjoyed later at home and it was incredible. There was an enormous meringue on top of it which was impressive and the coconut creme was just right in the middle between bland and way too sweet. Pretty great desserts on both counts. There you have it. Be sure to get there early on the weekends or be prepared for a 20-30 minute wait. read more

It really should not be this hard to find a CURRENT menu with CURRENT prices to patronize this local business. I called and they can't even tell you where a current menu can be found online. Will go elsewhere. read more

*Vegetarians beware.* I called to place an order and let the woman know I was a vegetarian and she said "Armstrong's is not vegetarian friendly". Well ok then! My mom lives nearby and was picking up the take out and bringing it to my house so I had to order something. The woman on the phone said all the tomato sauces are made with meat which leaves very little left. I ordered the cheese Calzone and asked for garlic sauce to dip it in. The calzone was dry and undercooked. My husbands shrimp penne vodka was "just ok". The bread was stale and the Alfredo for my sisters pasta wasn't cheesy. My mom does like their food and enjoyed her buffalo chicken tenders and salad. Armstrong's, please consider offering a "vegetarian friendly" dish or non meat red sauce. I am not the only person that doesn't eat meat in this world. I wonder how many vegetarians have eaten the tomato sauce and not know. read more

Update: Never again! I always try to give this place a second, third, and fourth chance, but never again! We went there last night and were served by Kristy. We weren't even sitting for a minute and she pretty much demanded our ENTIRE ORDER! Hardly looked at the menu. The table was still dirty. Kristy was more interested in sitting down and talking with some guy at another table, than serving customers during dinner rush. The food was fine, but another server had to bring out the food, because she was too busy chatting it up with the guy two tables away. She was very rude not only to us, but also was saying rude things about other tables at the drink fountains, probably loud enough for them to hear, too! She threw the check on the table without asking if we wanted any dessert. I like to take a piece of cheesecake home, but evidently it wasn't meant to be. Honestly, I used to think the bad service was always a one off, but not anymore. They have been consistently rude to us every time we come in. Plus, I think they put something in the food. I live less than a mile away, and by the time I get home, I am almost ready to shit my pants EVERY TIME I GO THERE!!!!! So, we won't be coming here anymore. Everyone in Moon loves this place, but I think it is terrible! Either I'm a snob or everyone in Moon has no sense of taste! read more

Stopped back in for Fish Friday :-) - Beer Batter Fish, Mac&Cheese - Awesome - Fish was cooked perfectly. The Mac&Cheese was yummy as well (noodles were dense, cheese did not taste like it was issued by the government or from a powdered form). I topped it off with a Raspberry and Crème slice of pie. All was very good - now I need a nap :-) read more

Their food is good.....but......we are tired of eating out of bags and foam containers!.When asked if they are ever to open up the dining room, you get a mumble and a shrug. The help that's there have no idea if they will ever open up for dining in. If they ever do open it up, long time customers may never come back . Come on Armstrong's......open up or throw out the pots. read more

We came here with some long-time locals and can see why it is so popular and boy, is this place popular. We got here at 6:00pm on a Saturday evening and it was already packed. We were told their would be 30 minutes but was more like 15... Our waitress was a seasoned professional moving efficiently around the restaurnt. They don't served wine buy we called ahead and were told we could bring our own. We were quickly brought proper stemware! YEAH! We chose from the Italian side of he menu, Chicken Parmesan, Sausage, Peppers, and Onions over penne, Ravioli, and the house Red Sauce over spaghetti. The portion sizes we're just on the side of large, not huge, with only a portion of one entree making it into a take out box. All entrees came with soup or salad and were fresh, tasty and a perfect accent to the meal. I would definitely recommend Armstrong's for local flavor and families. read more

This is my new favorite Take Out place when I come to Pittsburgh to visit my daughter in the Air Force! I had a Caesar Salad which was a very generous sized portion and a freshly made Italian Calzone. My DD had Wedding Soup and Chicken with Peppers and Pasta. We also got some BBQ Wings so we had leftovers for the next day. But let's talk about the Italian BREAD! We don't eat carbs very often so this was a rare treat! So fresh it was almost like eating cake! YUM! Everything was so delicious! We didn't ask for military discount but if they do offer that, they will get so much business from the USAF base because we highly recommend! The sign is small on the door but the value is BIG! read more

Armstrong's is the place everyone used to go. They are generally crowded around lunchtime. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are gigantic. But there are lots of other choices available, and the food is just average quality. The sandwiches are very popular here. The staff is very attentive. There is often a wait to get seated at peak dining hours. read more

This restaurant is very good. On the plus side, the portions are huge, the food is fresh and tasty, and the menu is pretty broad (Italian food, sandwiches, steaks, etc.). The setting is a mix of new and old. The booths and tables are very dated looking. The stacked -stone wall in the dining area looks freshly renovated. Service is quick but a bit abrupt, as if all the servers assume you've been here a dozen times and know their drill. They are in a hurry and don't linger to second extra for you to swallow and ask for more water. So it's an old-school experience. I prefer their Italian food, especially if you can figure out which dishes are made with their house-made pasta, which is excellent. read more

Wow, knock your socks off good!!!!! Italian wedding soup best ever the broth was sooo good and the meatballs were flavorful just the right everything, excellent Ceasar salad, i finished the meal with the stuffed scrod which was moist, tender, yet firm and the stuffing was definately made with plenty of crab and it was great. All in all one of the best meals i have had in a long time. Worth your time and worth your dime! read more

They don't do dine in. It's the dumbest thing ever. They closed the dining room during Covid and have never re opened it.

Great spaghetti and meatball. We always get take out. The portions are so much that we always have extra for lunch the next day.

Everything was delicious & freshly made. I can recommend: the char broiled steak which comes as ordered on toast with mushrooms $25. Parmesan wings with a plate of butter and garlic which you shouldn't let them take away so you can dip your bread in it $13 for 12. The baked Meatball Casserole with more homemade pasta than I could devour in one sitting $15. And the Italian wedding soup that won't disappoint. I was full but had room for spice cake and Pumpkin cheese cake. My family split the huge portions but we could have easily ordered one dessert to share. But we are only here from out of town for the day so devil may care... friendly service and a good menu. read more

I've been coming to Armstrong's since 1991. It is an institution. Consistently good. Whether take out or eat in. Even the remodel 15 or so years ago not much has changed. Wifey got her always standard chicken parm sandwich. I mix it up because there are so many great choices. This time I got the roasted artichoke hearts for appetizer. Tender and flavorful. Followed up with a steak salad. Once again consistently good. Drink glass rarely goes below half full before it's topped off. Desserts also great. Although if you can get through your ample dinner. Finishing a huge dessert would be a super hero event. read more

I am a huge fan of Armstrong's. I recommend: the steak hoagie, steak salad, Cajun chicken lunch special, turkey devonshire etc. I TOTALLY recommend their Cajun style wings. They have the best!!! I know what you are thinking... Armstrongs? Wings? Oh yes my friend. They have the best Cajun wings I have ever had. Make sure you ask for well done or crispy. Prices a little steep for some items but its worth it. read more

This is a good family restaurant that featured tried and proven dishes that are more for comfort than foodies. Just a business traveler want after several days of either fast foods or business dinners. The breaded scrod (a white fish) was very buttered, lighted browned, and with just the right crust. Cole slaw was watery and sweet. Mesh potato and gravy was excellent, but also artery clogging. I will definitely come here again, probably once a year if I live here. read more

Armstrong's is a solid and reliable restaurant that will give you good food with large portions. (They basically give you a half a loaf of bread per person... I'm not mad about it) They have some REALLY good daily soups... Give them a try! My one and only complaint..... THEY DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL WEBSITE... like, COME ON, Armstrong's, you have Facebook, now just make a real website so people can actually see your menu. Therefore, I have taken the time to make a copy of their menu, scan it and upload it for the convenience of all your past and future customers. read more

Ordered pasta with meat sauce. Pretty much meatless. The pasta was over cooked (linguini). The sauce didn't taste all that good. I used to get this quite frequently, but this time it was hard to actually eat it. Meal was a huge disappointment. Salads were made with greens that look like weeds, no lettuce. Stop tying to get fancy and use some lettuce and/or romaine, this stuff is horrible. We've eating at getting take out from Armstrong's for many years. Usually the food is terrific, but now? Either new owners or bad cooks. No, I will not order from them again and pay high prices for low quality. read more

CONSISTENCY!!! One of the most important traits of a great restaurant is the consistency and quality of the food. We have gone to Armstrong's for more than 20 years and I can honestly say that everything is pretty much the same as it was back then! Portions are huge--entrees are so tasty! We've always been fans of the Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Parmesan, fried shrimp and all of the salads. Everything is absolutely delicious. Penne Ala Vodka is excellent. Daily specials are also top notch. Their fish is fantastic. And the DESSERTS???!!! Even if you didn't save room for dessert--get it anyway!!! You won't be disappointed!!! The pies are perfection as are the cheesecakes and cake!!! THIS is the perfect go to restaurant for all kinds of food--including the most tasty hoagies and sandwiches. Go there now!!! Don't hesitate--just GO!!! read more

I called on the Friday before Mother's Day to make sure Armstrong's would be open to order food for my big dinner. I was told yes they would be open. I then called Mother's Day morning to order for my big Mother's Day dinner. I was told they would not be taking orders early and to call a half hour before we wanted the dinner. I called at 4:00. I was told they were NOT TAKING ANYMORE ORDERS. I had all five my children, so excited for dinner just to have it ruined. When I pleaded with them they said sorry, too bad. You ruined my Mother's Day at a time when we were supporting small businesses. You let me down. I have been a patron for 30 years to the Armstrong restaurants. This was so very very sad. Guess the money was much more important than a loyal customer. read more
