I have frequented Combine Brothers for years, and have always had a fantastic meal. Yes, you will receive an enormous portion of food and you will eat all of your leftovers later on because the food is that good. We usually stick to the same menu items, because they are too good not to. The carbonara is the best that I've ever had, and well worth the heart attack that I may suffer from eating it. The meatballs are flavorful and never dry. The pressed chicken sandwich with greens is great, too. We've ordered this a few times and the chicken is never dry, and the greens are always good. Not too salty or overpowering. The salad dressing is wonderful, and the rolls are huge. This is a carb lovers heaven. Great prices for the portions that you receive. read more

This place is amazing from the moment you walk in. The hosts are hard working to get you sat the bartenders and servers are the best and when the mother of the brothers tells you that you need more sauce she goes to the kitchen and grab it a lot of places I go could use a class on how to treat your guests this place could teach that class read more

I was coming through around 9 PM at night and was tired and hungry for something other than fast food or gas station pizza. I drove by this place and determined that it was the best choice for the area. I wanted a steak. The only choice was a rib-eye. Not my favorite cut, but it is what I ordered. I expected a wangy steak that I would be gnawing on for the next hour, but it was fantastic! Great flavor and texture! I ordered rare, but received medium rare. (I prefer medium rare but always go under for first time experiences.) The roll was very soft and huge. The fried greens were fantastic. I am very picky on my greens, and would order them again in a heartbeat. The spaghetti was angel hair. The portion was huge, but I would have rather sent the spaghetti back and had another steak or two. Not a pasta junkie, so to me spaghetti is spaghetti. I would guess that there was over two pounds of it taking up space on my plate. I was seated in the back corner. Not very busy at that time of night, so I did not mind the quiet. The server was slow to get me started, but once I ordered, service was great. The benches were a bit uncomfortable after a day of driving, but the food made up for it! read more

My family and I went there last week while in Hermitage because it had great reviews online. But we were very disappointed. I got Diavolo (since reviews raved about it) and she got pizza. Both were very bland. The Diavolo was watery and tasted like nothing but tomatoes and cayenne pepper. I will say the servings were large, but we were highly disappointed with the flavor given the price of most dishes was between $12-$16. P.S. Something we noticed on the menu something along the lines of, "although we serve large portions, you will be assessed a surcharge of $4 if you split an entree with anyone." I've been to a lot of restaurants and have never heard anything like that in my life. read more

We placed a "to go" order on our move across country. The white clam sauce was to die for! Portion was huge--especially for the price. Rolls are huge too. I wish we could stay longer and try more dishes! read more

Come hungry! Generous portions of pasta and bread!! Love the white clam sauce. Service is always good too!

Decent place to go in town. I go here a few times a year for a change, but I do think there is better Italian food in the area. Yes, the portions are huge, but so are the prices....remember...this is a PASTA...not Filet.... cost is about .75 cents for a pound wholesale?..and most dishes on the menu are about $15.00- $20.00 so I feel like you should have plenty of left over food if your paying $19.00 for linguine and clams in place that doesnt even have padding on the plywood painted booths...The kitchen also has no fryers & does not serve liquor..Like I said...its decent food....with casual atmosphere. read more

A hard rating to give because the dinner entrees are outstanding. That said, the service is iffy and spotty - some staff can be grumpy. The dinner rolls are as big as your head but lack taste and edibility (yeah, they are hard to eat). Overall the food makes it worth repeat visits and the local feel and flavor make it worthy of better - just need a little better waitstaff. read more

I dont know if my expectations are too high or everyone else is too easy to please, but this place is average at best. Large portions of what tastes like canned sauce. Not much to pick from and prices are way high considering the quality. Probably won't be back. read more

Food was terrible, sauce watery, no wait just a 1/4 inch of water on the plate with out of the can tomatoes. When I complained to our server about it her reply was "we get complaints about that all the time, next time order a different sauce. Sorry there will not be a next time. seems like most of the good reviews go on about the size of portions, I don't want huge portions of lousy Italian food. Plenty of decent Italian restaurants in the area, save your money for one of them. read more

While traveling I use Yelp to find places to eat.... Yelp did not disappoint! Thank you to all those writing reviews! It is so helpful! The portions are very large, and the food is very good! Great sauce and salad and those rolls!!! OMG! I have leftovers for lunch today and can't wait to eat them! The waitress was extremely helpful when I wasn't sure how and what to order and she did me right! Oh and one more thing, our bill was small compared to the food we ate! Thanks again Combine Brothers! We will be back when we are coming through the area again!!! read more

GREAT FOOD! love the baked ziti with meatballs. The giant fresh baked rolls and house salad dressing are AMAZING! This is one of the best italian restraunts in the 3 neighboring counties. If you are looking for a great variety of Italian foods, this is the place. My husband, teenage son and 6 year old son, love it here as well. We definitly go whenever we have the chance. My husband loves the spicy diablo sauce, and my little one loves the pizza. The servings are large and even my biggest eater always has leftovers to bring home. read more

This place is always amazing. Best pasta you can get, and I'm picky. Bruschetta is the best! Fresh large rolls very tasty. If you like pasta, this is the place. Portions are huge, my wife and I enjoy the leftovers for two or three days after. I can't imagine someone giving this place a bad review. Well worth the wait!! read more

Travelling from El Paso, TX we stopped at a local hotel and they gave a list of local eateries. Top one was Combine Brothers, so we did a drive by, and it looked nice., so we went in. Service was excellent, but the real surprise was the food. I had the Chicken Cacciatore, my buddy, the Alfredo. The portions huge and it was really flavorful. read more

Went there for dinner last night & OH MY was I sorry! Sorry I haven't been there sooner! I haven't been there for awhile & don't know why. We ordered the greens for an appetizer & they came out hot & yummy - with their homemade hot & crusty rolls - that was almost a meal in itself! Our waitress Linda was very attentive! Refilled our drinks without having to wait.Our salads were amazing & then the main feast came out. White clam sauce with linguine! AMAZING-Hot & steamy -So many clams. What great service - what great food! Can't wait to go back again! read more

First time, ok experience, may go back but not when busy. Combine was pack tonight but, we were told 20 minutes and when in on a minute over. Good estimation on the hostesses part. We would have waited a bit longer as we were hungry and the smell of the tomato sauce slapped us silly. We sat down waitress came right over politely and started to take our order. The wedding soup had too much pepper and broth, like skimming the top and not stirring. The bread was so-so, not very flavorful. However, my eggplant parm with fettuccine was cooked perfect. Just the right amount of cheese on (non-breaded) thick slices of eggplant. My wife's shrimp pesto was also very good. Yet, we were not impressed with our sons burger, a bit dry, but our youngest did make a mess of her spaghetti, and meat ball that was the size of her head. She was very happy. The waitress did a fair job of clearing the tables but never excused herself reaching over into the booth. She did however keep the glasses full and was eye full of what was going on eye on us - appreciated. Overall, it was an ok experience but to wait 20 minutes again is not going to happen. There is really nothing around so it's a misnomer that the please is great. The portions are huge but you are getting for what you pay for, the place isn't cheap. Score Food Quality (entrées 4, very thing else 2) 3 Service 3 Atmosphere 3 Value 3 Recommend 4 ( their competition is Bob Evans and Applebee's, is there anything else to say?) read more

Combines is not the restaurant it once was. I just returned from there and was very disappointed with my meal. The menu is a lot different and not for the better I'm afraid. I had the shaved sirloin sandwich with greens, which was quite bland, with a side of penne pasta, which was terribly undercooked. I had the server take that back. One would hope that a restaurant would take advantage of the plentiful produce that is in season, and locally grown, such as kale or collard greens, for Italian greens, instead of bagged escarole. Also, the use of garden garlic would be key here as well, rather than the jarred minced kind, such as what was used in my meal. And no, all salad dressings are NOT homemade. They too are commercial brands. A big let down. Instead of focusing on quantity and the huge amount of pasta that is given, which people are more drawn to I suppose....I prefer quality. That quality that is not there anymore. And having cob webs above you hanging on the light fixture was the nail in the coffin for me. I won't be returning. That's too bad. Take the trip to Howland, Ohio, and eat at Leo's. They make Combines look like Denny's. read more

Good enough because there don't seem to be a lot of choices in this area. The portions are pretty huge so I doubt any normal sized human being could finish an entree alone. The bread is pretty good and so is the house salad. The house dressing is balsamic vinegar and oil blended and it's pink! I swear it's pink but it's tasty if you like that kind if dressing. I had the vermicelli with tomato cream sauce and 1 meatball. It was just ok. read more

Combine Brothers is my absolute favorite place to go eat at! I am in love with their salad dressing! They also give you gigantic rolls that are always fresh! My favorite thing to order is Chicken Parm. I love the seasoning and their tomato sauce! You definitely walk out full. Another favorite of mine is the meatballs you can get as an appetizer by far the best meatballs I have ever had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Great food. Great service. I was headed to Erie and decided to sleep over. Checked yelp and decided to try this place. I'm so happy that I did!!! The service at bar was excellent! read more

The bruschetta was delicious and the bread was so yummy! Really enjoyed our meal, chicken Parmesan and carbonara!

Excellent Food, Excellent Service, the rolls and Italian Greens are worth the drive!!

Sat at the bar by myself, bartender was nice. A few tvs to keep me busy, appreciate that. Salad came out and was disappointed. Very basic cheap lettuce with 5 croutons. Dressing was alright, little pinching for my taste. I ordered the pink pepper sauce carbonara on the specials list,delicious but spicy! I recommend asking about your level spice enjoyment and what they have on the menu. read more

Pasta carbonara is delicious! As well as the house dressing only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it is a bit pricey in my opinion

Went on a Friday night and the place was packed. We decided to not wait the half hour expected time and instead ate at the bar. The girl behind the bar was very friendly and was working hard! Good food and good service. Will be back. read more

Combine brothers is my absolute favorite restaurant. They serve huge portions and lots of varieties of sauces. My favorite is the baked ziti with the pink pepper sauce which is a combination of their Alfredo and diablo which is loaded with tomatoes and chunks of zucchini. I also love their marinara, tomato and bacon and tomato sauces. They also make an incredible steak and greens panini. You will never leave hungry and will also leave with yummy leftovers. read more

Disappointed - Before the "changes", the salad was served family style with a house dressing - this time it was bag salad from a grocery store and little plastic containers of dressing. Now the bar only serves beer and wine. Food was missing something. read more

limited dining options in the Shenango Valley, but this is probably the overall best place to go. Only open for dinner 5 nights/ week and always busy. Pink pepper sauce is tremendous. Rolls are great. Seating is uncomfortable. Not ideal for kids. read more

Wow. I just had one of the best meals in years. Ziti with three cheese, peppers and onions, tomato sauce and a couple meatballs. The salad was good enough and the dinner roll was fabulous. I will return to this restaurant soon. The portions were more than generous. I took home enough for another large meal. The service was very good. Awesome!!! read more

Combine Brothers - Ziti with 3 cheeses, peppers and onions, tomato sauce and 2 meatballs - Italian Near Me - Hermitage, Pennsylvania

This is hands down the best Italian food. My parents live an hour away and when I fly in from Alaska to visit them we make a trip to Combine Brothers. The portions are huge and the service amazing. read more

Yes the portions are huge, but you are still overpaying for mediocre sauces on boxed pasta. I've tried multiple menu items and everything I've tried, from the pasta dishes, to the pizza, to sticking with only a bowl of soup, has made me sick. We have friends who love this place because they have huge boxes of leftovers to take home we so end up here a few times a year and spend the next day taxing our plumbing. Last night we gave it one more try and my husband and I are BOTH paying the price again this morning. Never EVER again. Quality over quantity people! read more

this place went downhill- fast. we have been going for 15 years, always happy. tonight, you pasta was served lukewarm, with almost NO SAUCE. JUST VERMICELLI WITH TOMATOES. AWFUL! What happened? avoid it! read more

Good food and good pasta. The employees were not friendly or accommodating. They also didn't have any other side options other then pasta. I asked for a vegetable for the side for my chicken and they had none. read more

I was reading other peoples reviews and I have to say that people are either way too picky or just leave bad feedback no matter what because this place has been excellent every time I've been there and it's been close to 20 visits. Yes they basically have one dressing for their salads but you can ask for something else, but the dressing that comes with it is really good and tasty. The portions you get are huge so people complaining about the cost are probably really large and eat way too much, plus the cost is lower compared to most places I eat at in the Pittsburgh area so it's a great deal and you basically get two meals out of it. The atmosphere is great and the service and staff are always top notch. We drive from Pittsburgh almost monthly to eat there because it's that good. My only complaint is I wish they had a location closer so we could go more regularly. read more

I visited this place for only the second time in my life. I wasn't impressed the first time but that was many years ago. We were seated quickly and service was prompt and friendly. We sat in a booth and the benches were just wood without any kind of cushion....not comfortable. The salad was just lettuce served on a board. No olives, croutons, cucumber, tomato, or anything else that makes a salad a salad. They didn't ask what kind of dressing we wanted so I guess you don't have a choice. My brother did ask for vinegar and oil and he did get it. I didn't care for the dressing. I'm not sure what it was but it wasn't very good. I had linguine with olive pesto and my brother had fettuccine with a red sauce and bacon. He liked the sauce but you could just barely taste the bacon. There seemed to be enough pesto on my linguine but it hardly had any flavor. The rolls were really large and fresh but not warm. Warm rolls would have been nice. They give you plenty of butter. The portions are really large but the prices are high for a plate of noodles. We each had a build your own pasta dish and one domestic beer. We were disappointed that you could only order beer or wine...no mixed drinks. With a $5 tip our bill was a little over $36. Not a huge amount of money but over priced for what you get. Lettuce, flavorless noodles and big rolls. It wasn't the worse meal I ever had but if you're looking for a good Italian meal--keep looking. read more

Always a treat. And talk about treats - don't forget to try their chocolate or peanut butter cake!!

My family has been eating here for years and we love it! They also catered mine and my brother's graduation parties. Any time we have a lot of people over to our house we order combines for pick up. Large portions, you'll definitely have leftovers read more

Salad came out of a bag and I was not given a choice of dressing. The pasta and sauce tasted like it came out of a jar. Very little flavor. And for $48.00 for two people i expected so much more. read more

I was sick for 3 days the last time I ate there. The time before that my husbands food was cold in the middle. It is very popular lots of people go there just not me read more

My first time there drove from Akron Ohio to meet my daughter there for her birthday. It was worth the trip and I will make it again. The meatballs and tomato sauce is amazing. The portion sizes were great, I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. read more
