    Smallest deep dish Pepperoni Extreme Pizza - Large
    Jenee S.

    This is the second time in a row at this location our food wasn't good. The large signature deep dish pepperoni extreme was anything but deep dish. It looked more like a flatbread or regular style crust as it was very thin. The pan was only filled 1/4 the way to the top. Both pastas had little to no flavor and tasted watered down. We asked our waitresses if the pizza was indeed deep dish style and she said yes. We said we've never ordered it and came out like that before. We also let her know about the bland pastas. She didn't offer to remake or replace anything. We didn't see or get an opportunity to speak with a manager. I submitted feedback on the website but never heard back from the last bad meal we received.

    They even gave me a cubeof chicken ok top of this bs. I called and julianne or whatever the managers name was said it wasnt their fault and offered to email me a couple. Ill never eat here again to use that coupon.

    Went on a holiday weekend at 7:15 at night here. Had a 10 minute wait which I thought would be much worse. Get to the table and go to order the prime rib special. Told they have sold out for the weekend. So it starts at 4pm and was gone by 7:30. Was told since was a holiday weekend they cut their trucks. I'm sorry what? You cut the trucks on a weekend you will be busy??? So go to order something else... guess what out of stock as well. Go to order something else...also out of stock. The tips my wife got were super dry and she said her potato tasted weird. Best part is I could hear him talking about me from this one station about how I could I not understand its a busy holiday weekend. He dropped a fork by my table and cussed as well. I've eaten at one other BJ's before and the food was ok but I will not be coming back to this one. Honestly will prob not go back to a BJ's again. It's ok if you like run of the mill chain food but this isn't that good of a chain. The beer they push prob helps with the eh of the food.

    Wings and Loaded Nachos
    Jen R.

    Just an FYI this place is part of a chain of restaurants they seem to be linked or in the area of a mall location. It's busy.. it was just two of us and we asked to sit at the bar. They have a large selection of beers but oddly enough no local Pittsburgh beers? But they are a brewery and the beer they do is pretty good, they also have a good liquor selection and do flights and etc. I tried one of their lighter beers and it hit the spot. We just had appetizers so.. Got the Chicken Wings they were pretty good but we live in Western NY state and know good wings. We asked for more ranch which helped they are slightly skimpy on that. Than ordered the loaded nachos it's nice and lots of chips but the basically melt shredded cheese on it so not every chip has cheese. It had all the toppings you expect. In all honesty it's big enough for about four people to eat. All in all the food was pretty good and the bartenders/servers were helpful and nice a plus. Would I come back I think so but I'm not gonna wait for a table. Outta 5 stars I give it 3.5 Lots of parking

    Chicken Sandwich
    Tito K.

    We came to BJs when meeting up with High School friends on Thanksgiving Eve. The place has a newer, clean atmosphere. There is a huge beer list and a pretty extensive menu. We ordered a mix of food; wings, sandwiches, and apps. As well as a lot of different drafts I had a chicken sandwich which was good, washed down by a fresh draft. Our server was nice, friendly, and attentive.

    Guacamole Burger
    Jenna W.

    Great place for your favorite comfort foods. They have a pretty wide variety of options on the menu, from flatbreads to burgers to pastas to sandwiches tacos to salads. I ordered the guacamole burger and really enjoyed it! It had so many flavorful toppings on it too; including jalapeños, tomato, Chipotle sauce, Applewood bacon, and pepperjack cheese. All of these flavors blended perfectly with one another, the spice of the cheese and jalapeños balanced by the guacamole and tomato, the tender beef patty balanced by the crispy bacon. Even the fries were deliciously crispy on the outside and soft in the center. I also ordered the Berry Burst Cider and loved it. It was very sweet, but also refreshing and smooth to drink. Overall, a great experience and I'd go back again in the future.

    two glasses of water on the bar

    Service is great especially at the bar. Food is good, prices are not. Lunch prices aren't bad but beer prices are among the highest of any bar or brewery around Pittsburgh. Use their happy hour to save a few bucks otherwise I would not recommend here. Only reason I gave three stars is the food is good and service as well.

    Atmosphere - Very good. I really like the atmosphere at this restaurant. It is a bright, fun atmosphere. Half of the restaurant is a huge bar and the other a dining area with lots of booths and tables. Service - Very Good. Our server was very attentive. Food - Very Good. I had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato bisque soup. The soup was excellent as was the sandwich. Overall Value - Very Good. I am not a fan of chain restaurants, however this is well worth the checking out.

    Had my first visit here on a Friday evening this past August. We met a few of our friends here to…read moreenjoy a night out with some beer, food, and live music. I have previously heard of Truss and seen them around the community at different events, but was excited to finally try them at their storefront. Truss Brewing Company is located in Pleasant Hills, just off of Route 51. This building has been other businesses throughout the years before Truss took over. It is clearly marked and easy to locate. There is a private parking lot in the rear, but they will have it closed off and filled with tables during the summer months. However, there are other lots and parking options surrounding the building along Old Clairton if this is the case when you visit. We arrived just after 7:00, and the place was packed! They had the back parking lot closed off for seating, but luckily we found a spot right in front. There is no indoor seating here, as they advertise the business to be take-out only. Therefore, you can order online or through some delivery services if you truly are taking the order to-go. However, if you are "dining in," you can order at the counter inside. They will give you an order number, and then call the order number outside for you to come retrieve. First, we made our way inside to place an order. There was a decent line that went out the door, but we made it through that in about 10 minutes. Ordering was straight-forward, as the menu is not terribly long. For the beers, there were some different size options. Also, they sold reusable cans, crowlers, growlers, and mini kegs that can be brought back and refilled. In addition to the made-to-order food and beer, there are some snacks, grocery items, non-alcoholic drinks, and merchandise all for sale. After placing our order, we made our way to the back parking lot to find some seating. As stated, there was a live band performing and the place was pretty full. However, we did manage to get a table. There were picnic-style tables, as well as some bar-height seating. I also saw some patrons bring their own lawn chairs, so that is an option as well! The atmosphere outside was very lively. The music was good, there were a lot of groups socializing and having a good time, and there were some yard games set up on the one side of the lot. Definitely a nice spot to bring the family or meet up with some friends if the weather is nice. The wait from ordering to when we got our food was about 30 minutes. I know the food is prepared in-house, and is not generic restaurant pre-made-type food, so this is reasonable considering that. My fiance and I split a few dishes between us. We ordered the Chilled Colossal Shrimp, the Big Fat "Wings," and the Wood Fries Parm Crusted. The Chilled Colossal Shrimp came with 5 and a nice dipping sauce. I love cold shrimp, so this was my favorite dish. The Big Fat "Wings" are chicken drumsticks prepared like wings. Since it is a different cut, you get a lot of meat for your money. We ordered them with the buffalo sauce on the side as well. They were tasty, and again, a great way to make your dollar stretch for a lot of meat! The Wood Fries Parm Crusted are unique, as they are very thick cut. It is probably over a whole potato's worth of fries, so plenty to share. My fiance loves thick-cut fries like this, so he thought these were great. We enjoyed the food overall! For my beer, I ordered the Mortar, which is an American Brown Ale. I usually prefer a brown/red/amber-type of pour, so this was right up my alley. It was a nice sipper to have throughout the night. In terms of value, I think some items have a much better value than others. Specifically, I thought the fries and the chicken were very much worth the money. I personally did not order a pizza this trip, but some of those seemed to be slightly expensive to me personally. Despite that, you can make it worth your dollar depending on what you order and what you are looking for most. Since this place is take-out only, I truly did not have a ton of interaction with the staff, except for when I put my order in. I had no issues regarding this, though I feel as though I did not have enough interaction to make a comment on this aspect of the trip either way. Likely due to all of the seating being outside, the business is dog-friendly! We brought our dog, and he enjoyed socializing with the patrons and many other dogs who were there as well. This was a great place to spend a sunny August evening! I enjoyed the beer, food, and atmosphere at Truss. We loved the live music, and learned on this trip that they regularly hold a trivia night and other events as well. The only downside is that this experience is seasonal, and weather-dependent. However, the food and beer are available year-round, so you can give that a try anytime. I would recommend checking this place out with the warmer months quickly approaching!

The views are impressive as is the space itself. I was very impressed and this would be a great place to visit with a large group. We didn't eat here but may consider it in the future even with a basic menu. This is definitely worth a visit as there were all ages here enjoying the brewery.

They're located in Dormont, which makes this a walkable brewery for me (thanks to having friends and family in the area!). A friend and I did indeed walk over to catch up on a recent Friday. The place was surprisingly quiet - my friend mentioned that they get VERY busy during the summer, when people attend events across the road and want to buy beer to go with their market and/or food truck purchases. Speaking of food trucks, Hibachi Lou was parked out front on this particular Friday. So my friend and I got our hibachi orders at the truck out front; ordered our beer and/or cider from the bar; and took everything to a table in Back Alley's dining area to enjoy. While the place wasn't packed it wasn't empty, either; families and groups of friends were playing board games at every other table or so. So, what did I think about the drinks? I'm really glad Back Alley had Arsenal Cider on tap - I ordered a glass as my "sweet treat"/dessert after dinner. First though, I decided to try a beer. Back Alley, if you see this: I'm a BIG fan of sour beers and would order those if they're on the menu in the future! As of now though, no sour beers, so I ordered a "Snowed In" - Back Alley's spiced winter ale. It was a dark beer with a blend of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, hence the "spiced" moniker. While not something I normally seek out, I really enjoyed it and am glad I tried it! Altogether, it was a 10/10 experience - I'm so glad my friend and I came here for our Friday together. I'll be back!

They replied the next day with their condolences and confirmed that they would accommodate my request. We ended up needing to arrive early because the ceremony ended earlier than expected and everyone in our dining party loved about an hour away. So, we called to ask if that would be possible and they kindly agreed to seat us early/have our table ready. Upon arriving, the service was great; with our waitress providing prompt service and continuously checking-in on us (taking our order and refilling drinks). While we waited for our meals they provided us with complimentary homemade chips and dip. That was so nice, and we all enjoyed them! Our food was served about 30 minutes after ordering (which is pretty good given that it was for 8 people), and everything was as ordered. I enjoyed my meal (I had the chicken sandwich) as did everyone seated near me. I'd definitely recommend eating here as they definitely seem like genuinely nice people trying to provide a great experience for their patrons! (I didn't try any of the beers because I had an hour long drive ahead of me after a long day, but the food alone is worth stopping in for)
