This is a great neighborhood bar. We love their food and like the fact that our kids are also welcome here for lunch/dinner. They do have a 9pm kids out rule. Sometimes it can take a while for your food but it's worth it. read more

Ah scratch my back with a hacksaw, Backdraft. This Pittsburgh gem really got me rolling like grandma's bingo game. My buddy's buddy brought us here for a late dinner after a long day at Picklesburgh. I got pickled hard, so I was in the mood for the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Despite the suspiciously affordable prices, my expectations were blown by the quality of the yellow and orange pile in front of me. My hand didn't even get a chance to reach for the phone to take a picture, because I inhaled this dish in about 17 seconds. The experience made me forget about the acid-flavored water that Allegheny County never seems to get right. I also decided to not test my luck on the fake casino machines. The ambience was dark and smelled like non-craft beer. I'll be back once I land a job that grants me access to endless Pittsburgh pickles and picklehol. read more

Popped in and out for a drink on Wednesday and left my credit card. Kattie the bartender contacted me and told me my card was safe within 10m of me leaving! I am extremely appreciative of the responsiveness and amazing service! read more

Use to absolutely love this place,it was a most every Sunday for lunch but the last 3 times was bad very bad.... the wings were dry and tasteless and so was the chicken tenders, they didn't even toss the wings with the sauce ,they just drop the sauce on top of it! For the first time in my life I left wings in my plate,my friend got the chicken tenders special that used to come with fries,it doesn't anymore and the sauces are 75 cents now.... did they get a new cook or owner?? I really really really used to love this place but we will not go back. Sad, get the previous cook back and we will be back. Thanks read more

I was a regular there for 20 years. I don't go there anymore. The staff beyond unfriendly. Food has gone downhill as well.

The meth head looking lunch time cook needs to find a different job. There was three other people in for lunch but still waited 40 minutes for him to over cook a simple order in the deep fryer all because his boy toy stopped in & he was worried about his chocolate star. read more

Stumbled upon this place and said you know what, let's try it. Jade was amazing! Food was well priced and really good!

Local bar that's good for cheap drinks in a casual atmosphere. It's definitely more of a dive bar, but the staff is always great and friendly. The bar area has a few large tvs playing various sports, but they're at odd angles, so it's hard to see unless you're sitting at the bar. The good thing is, there's tvs in the corners of the bar too for better viewing from tables, they're just smaller. They also have traditional bar food available on their menu, including burgers, subs, and wings. I ordered the chicken ranch sandwich and it was good, but nothing special. My chicken patty was thin and fried, so it was mainly breading and a bit chewy, plus the sauce tasted like just bottled basic ranch poured on top. The fries that came on the side were good and seasoned nicely with salt and pepper. Overall, a decent meal and experience given the cheap price. It's a good place to hang with friends for a few drinks. read more

Rating this short of 5 stars would be incorrect. Everything on their menu is affordable and a reason that my family and I go here frequently. Not only is it affordable, but it is delicious and high quality. They don't cheat you on portions for all that they give you and the daily specials are generous for the price and amount that you get. This is one place that caters to the blue collar worker and understands the pain of inflation and instead of jacking up their prices they choose to continue to be affordable. The staff are all extremely friendly. I have tried about 3/4 of the menu and everything I have tried so far I would highly recommend. Simply put, they don't miss. read more

Props to Backdraft for being open during this Covid19 crisis, gotta give them an extra for that. Once the quarantine hit and our fav place for wings closed (The Loose Moose) we had no place to get really good wings. Then we found this place... and we checked out the menu... then we saw similarities between this and The Loose Moose menu... a phone call later and it's confirmed... Backdraft & the Loose Moose are owned by the same guy. We ordered a Moose burger- 1/2 pound of meat and a built it yourself style and it was delicious. Also ordered the whole Philly Steak with everything and half did me in, the other half was tomorrow's lunch. And we had to try the wings so we added a dozen of them. Fantastic....! I jumped ahead of myself because I asked the bartender/server about the similarities and she confirmed it... She also said that's The Loose Moose was opening for take out also...! Bam, just like that, this 'corn teen' bullshit' is manageable...! Thank You Backdraft / Loose Moose...!!! read more

Really cool place, great staff, good food. Good selection of liquors. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and really nice to look at. read more

As a fellow service industry employee I never imagined myself writing a bad review online but my experience has been the exception! I tried to complain to the owner but have not heard back from him. Saturday night I joined a gathering of people to spend a Saturday night out. Both the manager Gina and the bartender were not very friendly nor attentive and seemed to avoid us every time we walked up to the bar. I discovered Gina was very rude and unfriendly to not only us but most customers. Towards the end of the night I witnessed Gina and her bartender (the blonde ) yelling at a group of young girls as they were leaving the bar yelling bye fat ass, bye four eyes, bye flat ass. Soon after Gina the manager began closing the bar throwing chairs around slamming them and yelling all you mother fuckers get out! I can't believe this is the way this business treats their customers!?! I then left the bar and went to my sisters where I discovered my brand new iPhone 15 plus was missing but luckily for me I had the FindMy app and seen I left it at the bar so figured I'd just pick it up in the morning. Next day went to retrieve my phone and it's no where to be found and I told them I knew it was there because I have the app. Gina had a smirk as I walked around looking for my property and said she was busy and didn't have time to look for it. After several attempts of myself and friends coming to look for my phone with no luck, I discovered how to make my phone ping and heard it coming from the roof where it was found by the fire department. After speaking to someone I was with that night before I discovered they told Gina's coworker that she is sorry she has to work with such a bitch. I believe after closing the girls found my phone and Gina either stole it and figured out I could locate it and threw it on the roof or did it because I was with someone who called her a bitch to her coworker. I had nothing to do with the situation and zero reason to retaliate by stealing and damaging my property! I would like the video surveillance to be reviewed from that night because I truly believe it was the manager! So if you're thinking about coming to this bar watch your belongings and prepare yourself to be treated and spoke to like a dog when you're supporting the business and tipping! read more

I moved to Baldwin back in September and was pleased to find a bar so close to my house! YOU cannot beat the prices here!! There always seems to be parking although it can be busy on wing nights and weekends. I've never had to wait to be seated either which is great. I've ordered a lot of different things from here. My favorite so far was the burger and Ruben. Burgers are huge with tons of fries. Juicy and has good flavor throughout. Would recommend. I went one evening during sandwich night. The deal is unbeatable. $4.95 for a sandwich and fries, I'm in! I got the Ruben it was delicious. There could have easily been 1/2 of corned beef on it. The ratios of everything on the sandwich was perfect. Drinks are really well priced and so is the food. It's good bar food and I recommend it to anyone in the area. My only complaint is that the service here struggles. The servers are polite but very slow. read more

The lunch prices here are fantastic. They have specials everyday including burgers, tacos or pizza for $1. I've been here for drinks also and it's spacious & the service is good. The lunch kitchen service is slow almost all the time so if you're working plan on over an hour total visit time. read more

Just your typical bar with regular bar food. Nothing special, but a great place to grab a quick bite to eat with the kids. Very affordable! I ordered the chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and it was delicious! read more

A multitude of draft beers to choose from and great daily specials. Their Italian hoagies are super good and so are the hot wings!

Food takes to long wing are over cooked an not enough sauce. Would not answer the phone.

So..... Third time here. Food is yummy for bar food, but the service is positively terrible! First time the barmaid was so surly I thought I'd done or said something wrong (and I'm really nice lol).. .. 2nd time was slow beyond description... Tonight's bartender was so wired on god-knows-what she couldn't focus to make 2 drinks in a row! But every time the food has been delicious! read more

Went there for lunch today, good pizza and wings, fast service. Dawn the bar tender was very attentive. Good big screen TVs for watching the game read more

The service here was awful. We stopped in on a Sunday night. The server ignored us then when she finally came over she blamed the other server for not taking the order. We ordered an appetizer platter and 2 drinks and said we wanted to place an additional order but needed a few minutes. She never returned to take our food order. The appetizer took an hour to come out. I know the server doesn't control the kitchen flow, but in that hour she never checked on our table, offered to refill our drinks, or ever acknowledged us at all. Another server finally brought the food and another server brought the check. TERRIBLE. read more

Decent food but the slowest service I've ever experienced. Takes about an hour to get food, especially when somewhat busy.
