Typically we will grab a small cup of cheese also for the fries. But they have a lot of good options. Service has always been pretty good. It's nice inside but can get busy and you might not find a seat at the bar. Since they have come to New Castle this has been a nice place although it can be a bit pricey at times. The food portions do accommodate for the prices though.

Stopped into Crane Room Grille while in town for business after it was recommended by my hotel, and…read moreI'm glad I gave it a shot. First impression pulling up was really cool. It looks like there may be a banquet or event space attached. Walking inside, the place has a great rustic vibe with a mix of wood and metal finishes. Definitely a well done atmosphere and a comfortable place to sit down for a meal. I originally ordered wings and specifically asked for them extra crispy since I am not a fan of soft wings. Unfortunately, they came out the opposite, so I sent them back and decided to switch things up. Instead, I went with a cup of roasted corn chowder. It came out hot, but overall it was just average. Nothing bad, just nothing that stood out. At that point, after the wings miss and an average soup, I will be honest, my expectations for the main course were starting to dip a bit. But the entrée completely turned things around. I went with the bruschetta chicken with wild rice and grilled vegetables, and it really delivered. Presentation was excellent with two nicely plated chicken breasts over wild rice with zucchini, squash, and onions. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and everything had great flavor. This dish definitely made up for the earlier hiccups. Service wise, Elizabeth was attentive, friendly, and very apologetic about the wing issue, which I appreciated. Overall, I would land at a solid 4 stars. I would come back again, but I will not be ordering the wings. When someone orders crispy, they mean crispy.

The chicken and waffles board was a hit. We got 2 brunch boards which were enjoyable but the added prosciutto was kind of odd. Did not care for the shrimp and grits. The shrimp may have been labeled "jumbo" but must have barely made the cut. The grits were watery. Steak and eggs were great with the steak seasoned and cooked perfectly.

More importantly, they fry their wings and beef tallow! Kudos to them for not using sea oils. Being a wing lover, how could I resist? They serve their wings plain and provide you with a variety of their sauces. The wings were excellent - crispy and clearly high quality chicken. The sauces were good, not great. Definitely would've preferred them to be fully sauced.

This was the second time we ate here- first time all good. This time we had to send our chicken back as it tasted rotten.

Clearly they are abusing food temp, handling, safe controls, samitation.

******CASH ONLY********…read more The Oak Grove Inn, located on 488 heading towards Portersville, is a small dive bar with an inviting atmosphere, plenty of TVs, and a great selection of beer. It's a popular spot among locals for catching a game and enjoying some delicious wings. I had heard rave reviews about their wings, so I decided to give them a try for myself. Upon my visit, I was pleased to find that the wings lived up to the hype. I ordered the General Alex, which is a combination of their General Tso's sauce and Lickers sauce (not on the menu, but available upon request). The wings were large, cut wings - not small wing pieces, but not whole wings either. They were perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat inside. The General Alex sauce had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, making for a truly satisfying wing experience. In addition to the General Alex, I also tried their garlic wings. These were equally delicious, with a rich, garlicky flavor that paired well with the crispy exterior of the wings. This location is a smoking establishment so please respect this bars right to do as they please. With that said, this location upon both of my visits had very little to no smoke smell in its haul. Pictured left is the General Alex and pictured right is the garlic wings. They come in 10's and 5's. I enjoy watching Steelers games at this location with their many tv's and their delicious wings from time to time. The atmosphere, beer selection, and wings make it a must-visit spot for anyone in the area.
