We chose the All Star Sports Bar & Grill for dinner last week and were pleasantly surprised. We've…read morepassed this restaurant up several times, but when our go-to place had a long wait, we decided to give it a shot. The dining room was only partially full and the bar had a few patrons. We sat in a booth so we could watch preseason football. We really enjoyed this convenience! The food we ordered was delicious. We ordered hot boneless wings with bleu cheese for an appetizer. They were definitely spicy, but not so much so that you were sweating while eating them. We had to ask for an extra cup of bleu cheese which came out quickly. I had a chicken cesar wrap and it was stuffed with chicken. I could only eat half of the plate and took the other half home for lunch. My boyfriend had a spicy burger which he added a chipotle aioli to. He also enjoyed his plate. Our server and her trainee were both friendly and prompt. Between the food, service, and fair prices, we will be back, I'm sure.

After several days of working long hours and running on…read morevery little sleep, there were only a few things on my young travel companion's mind: sports, food, sleep, and probably girls--in no particular order! With an 8:50 PM flight out of Pittsburgh and not much time to spare, we decided to grab dinner on the way to the airport. I let my travel companion pick the restaurant, and since he's a lot like his father, he made a solid choice. All Star Sports Bar & Grill was conveniently located and an easy stop before heading to the airport. Thankfully, the restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived because we still had the rental car return, TSA and a flight ahead of us. We opted for the dining area rather than the bar, which gave me a chance to take in all the sports memorabilia. As a lifelong sports fan, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Being in Pittsburgh, the walls were covered with Steelers and Penguins history, along with plenty of jerseys from players I grew up watching. Our server, Nicole, was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and quick with recommendations. Before my coworker could even look at the menu, I spotted the Soft Pretzel Sticks and ordered them as an appetizer. Good decision. Warm, salty, and paired perfectly with the cheese sauce. Definitely order these When I asked Nicole for recommendations, she immediately suggested the Reuben and the wings. Had I not eaten a Reuben the day before, that's probably what I would have ordered. As for the wings, I'll admit it--I am a Wing Snob. If they're not homemade or from Western New York, I'm usually passing. That's not a knock on their wings; it's just a very high standard that comes from growing up around some of the best wings in the country. Wanting to try something local, I ordered the Pittsburger. For me, it was just okay. Not bad by any means, and I cleaned my plate, but it wasn't a sandwich I'd order again. Looking back, the Reuben probably would have been the better choice. The fries were also average. I requested them crispy and without seasoning, but they didn't really stand out. Meanwhile, my travel companion ordered boneless wings. What can I say? He's 18. I even tried explaining the superiority of blue cheese over ranch, but that lesson appears to have fallen on deaf ears. Overall, I'm giving All Star Sports Bar & Grill 3 stars. That rating has more to do with my particular food choices and the rushed nature of our visit than the restaurant itself. The sports atmosphere was excellent, the service from Nicole was outstanding, and there were several menu items I'd like to come back and try. If I'm back in the area with more time and a bigger appetite, I'd definitely give this place another shot.

I had a Chameleon pint which is an NE IPA. My wife had a Krisp pint. Both beers were very tasty and we enjoyed. 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.

Let me start out that I don't usually rate restaurants ever. This is my very first time and I think that what I have to say should be considered. I've lived in this area my whole entire life and would never put down a local establishment, but the owner of this restaurant should be ashamed of herself. Some friends of mine went there the other day to have a fish dinner for lent and were totally embarrassed by the owner. The head of this family is a marine Corp soldier who has PTSD and has a service dog to help him. When they entered the bar with their children they were immediately yelled at by the owner. What's that dog doing here, and does it have a purpose? He replied "PTSD". At this point all eyes in restaurant were on the family and they were so embarrassed they left. The owner did not ask them to leave, but the damage was already done. My heart goes out to this family. This was absolutely unacceptable and just pure ignorance. I will never step foot into this establishment again and will make sure that I also let everyone that I know to do the same. Shame on you! Sincerely, Disgusted P.S. If I could give this no stars I would. read more

Owner of the bar Billy lies about product availability when offering it as a special. When confronted about the issue after finding out they had the special available, owner was a complete asshole. Came back after going to the restaurant for 20 years and owner decided to throw us out because he can't handle confrontation about lying about his product. Wouldn't recommend this place after Billy became the owner, he's a dick bag and doesn't care about his customers at all. read more

I am going to be honest here, my review would normally be higher but after referring my daughter to go and have a nice experience here she was treated nothing short of awful by the gentleman behind the bar whom says he is the owner and likes to call females ignorant bitches.

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.

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.

I had to stop in and see for myself. What I found was a fun little spot with BIG vintage charm and a great small town vibe. Everyone was so friendly and the chef recommended the cheesesteak. *cue eyeroll* I used to work at a Philly style cheesesteak restaurant in Richmond,VA that made cheesesteaks that rivaled any I've ever had--even in Philadelphia. Since moving back, if I wanted a cheesesteak, I had to make it myself. So, I shared my cheesesteakismology with the chef, and was honest that I probably would judge it pretty hard. You just cannot get a Philly in the Pittsburgh area. Everyone here serves a ....steak hoagie. I don't want your steak-ums with your provolone cheese or lettuce or tomatoes and onion. I do want peppers, onions and American cheese all mixed up into gooey greasy mess and served on a fresh hoagie roll. Plot twist~He held his stance and was 100% confident that he, in fact, does make the best Philly in town and assured me that he actually uses American too--to which I smugly replied "but do you mix it in?"-- and much to my surprise he did. Still having doubts that I would recieve a cheesesteak that would meet my expectations, I figured the least I could atleast give it a shot, duh. So I placed my order and waited.... 1099 % surpassed my expectations!! This cheesesteak sent me into a dreamlike state. Nostalgia washed over me and the heavens opened up, sending me into cheesy steaky bliss! Amazingly delicious cheesesteak! Honestly, the best I've ever had in Pennsylvania, and I have tried a lot of em'. If you haven't been back since they reopened or maybe you've never been there before in your life, I want to tell you, don't walk--RUN--to Orbit Inn and treat yourself to a tasty, juicy treat! I'll definitely be frequenting this establishment and so happy I don't have to scrub cheese from my frying pan anymore for the sake of a great Philly! For that I will be forever grateful. Thank you for the superb dining experience!
