Came here with my girlfriend and my daughter. My daughter and I had never been here and my…read moregirlfriend said it had been years since she had been here. We were seated in the dining room. First impression was that the color scheme, decorations, and menu all seemed to be dated and uninspired. The staff were polite and attentive. I ordered the salad and Salmon Oscar. The salad was good and the blue cheese dressing I chose was house-made. It was good. My girlfriend got the wedge salad which I think was a bit expensive since it was a $6 up charge for a wedge of iceberg lettuce from the standard salad that came with the entrees. My Salmon Oscar with asparagus was very good. I enjoyed every bite of the salmon and crab. My daughter's chicken parm came with a ton of linguini. My girlfriend got the signature crab cakes which she said were mostly crab and not filler. So while I thought the menu was dated when reading it the food was well executed.

Hadn't been here for two years but we were across the street buying a new recliner at Lazy Boy so…read morewe headed over for lunch. First the good news. My wedding soup and my husband's French onion soup were delicious. The wedding soup was loaded with meatballs and chicken. My husband has a thing for French onion soup and tries it every chance he gets. He said this may have been the best ever. We split a Reuben sandwich and upgraded to onion rings. The waitress brought us each a half portion so we didn't have to divide it ourselves, which was nice. There was plenty of meat on the sandwich, making it acceptable, not great but good enough. Onion rings were very good. Dessert sounded tempting, a cherry crème brûlée. It was okay, kind of like cherry jello with a sugar crust on top. A bit disappointing to say the least. Our waitress was on top of filling the water glasses and was very nice. Now for the bad news and why I'm only giving 3 stars. I went to the ladies room before eating and there was no hot water to wash my hands. I asked my husband if the men's room had hot water and he said no. We both let it run but it never got hot, not even warm. Then I noticed (after drinking several glasses of water unfortunately) that there was a crack in my water glass. I mentioned it to my husband and he said, "you should see the chips in the glass tabletop over her on my side". I get it that wear and tear happens, but these things should be caught before serving guests. And as far as the hot water...how do servers and kitchen workers properly clean their hands after using the toilet without hot water? So the food is fairly solid and reasonably priced. But be on the lookout for chipped glassware and table tops. And use your own hand sanitizer if you have it!

The inside is fairly small with tables on one side and chairs lining the other. As an FYI, the chairs are fairly narrow because of the arm placement, so if you are a larger person, it might be uncomfortable. The menu is simple. They have wings (and a variety of sauce options) but I didn't order or try them, so I can't speak to that. They also have two different fry size options with about 12 different options for the dipping sauce. Some were standard (mayo, ketchup) but they also had unique flavors like curry ketchup, mango mayo and andalouse. I ended up with the mango as my included choice and got an additional side of the andalouse. The fries are cooked to order, so it can take a bit (I imagine when they are busier they might have some precooked) but they were cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of crisp and salt. But the dipping sauce is what really makes the experience. If you order to go, you don't get the fun, traditional Belgian fry cones which I understand (because how could they be packed efficiently to go) but it was a tiny bit disappointing. There is a paid parking lot across the street, but there is also a lot of street parking in the area as well. This is definitely some place I will be back to visit!

Heard about this place from a friend. This place has been around almost a year or so and I was…read moreunaware. They are also doing American style food, breakfast, pizza, wings now...etc but they are an Indian Restaurant. I've gotten more adventurous with Indian food the last few years and had to check it out. They weren't even on Yelp! I had to add them. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, and Aloo Palak, a vegetarian dish. Lots of vegetarian options here that I'll be back to try. I also got an egg sandwich for my kid. We also got garlic butter naan, and Samosa Chaat. I'm not an expert on Indian food so I don't feel super qualified to rate it. But I will say everything was delicious! I have had bad experiences with Indian food in the past. This place was very good. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan were amazing! I had to wait a while because everything was cooked to order from scratch. Well worth it. Just order ahead and you won't have to wait. The owners feel Indian food isn't popular enough in the area. They are rebranding as "The Hamil Grill" While I waited several people came in to order wings and pizza, they said the wings are really good. I think enough people just don't know there's good Indian food in the middle of Penn Hills. (We do not have a shortage of pizza and wing places in the area!)

The Lamplighter is an old school staple of Murrysville. I had a Daddy-Daughter dance her several…read moreyears ago. This last trip involved drinks and live music. The service was really good. We did not eat on this visit. There are several different areas. There is a diner like dining room, a stage with tables for live music, and a couple of banquet type areas that can house events like weddings.

The Lamplighter is sort of three places in one. There is the diner/coffee shop side, the main…read moredining room/lounge and the banquet room. They each have their own distinctive and unique decor and menu options. I have been here for breakfast, for events in the banquet room and for dinner and have enjoyed all of my experiences. My favorite experience here has been for the murder mystery dinners. For $45, you get a buffet dinner (that comes with soft drinks, the meal and dessert) and a funny musical comedy show. You can't beat that deal! When you enter for these events, you go to your assigned table. The characters are mingling and you can get drinks. The one thing I'll say is they needed more bartenders or a more efficient way to handle the drinks because the line was consistently long. Maybe having one person for things like pop and one for bar items could be helpful. The buffet is different depending on the time of year (and potentially theme of the mystery). They always have a salad table with pretty basic salad ingredients, but also celery, carrots and olives. The entrees included chicken, fish, veggies and my favorite, the carved ham and roast beef. For banquet food, it was tasty and enjoyable. The banquet room itself is pretty standard "generic banquet room" decor. Nothing special, but the chairs are actually comfortable (which isn't always the case). The lounge and main restaurant area. Well, if you want to feel like you've used a time machine and gone back a few decades, take a step in there. It is definitively retro but still somehow doesn't feel stale or old. They often host their wine dinners in this area. There are a variety of seating options and a more upscale menu than the other side of the restaurant. The menu is fairly limited and a bit old school "fancy" but if you know that going in you shouldn't be disappointed. We had the filet and the chicken marsala. Were the they best we've ever had taste or presentation wise? No, but they were enjoyable the the portions were good. As was the service. It wouldn't be a spot I'd come to regularly for dinner, but I'd definitely eat in the dinner area again. The diner/breakfast side was more fast paced and old school diner, almost cafeteria vibe. Food items are pretty cheap considering today's food prices, especially for breakfast items. I like that with all the traditional and old school options they also have avocado toast. I've had their pancakes (which were huge, but not all that thick) and their omelet. Pretty standard diner fare. Nothing was food I was eager to come back and have again, but it was all perfectly tasty. So, come with an open mind. And remember that this place is essentially three different experiences. Just make sure you are prepared for which one you are hoping to enjoy.

I'm saddened that the closest Max & Ermas is a 45 minute drive to Monroeville, but I'm also…read moregrateful that they're still around. I've been craving a big bowl of their tortilla soup and a buffalo chicken sandwich for years. A recent family outing took us to Monroeville and I knew that we had to eat at Max & Erma's since we were in the neighborhood. The inside is a tad 'odd', with seasonal Christmas lights everywhere decorated in a Fourth of July theme. The table was mildly sticky, the booth seat was mildly uncomfortable, and there was a mild smell of dirty dishwater and/or urine at our seats. All-in-all, the restaurant feels tired and judging by the cleaning products and bucket placed on the ice cream bar, it looks like the workers are used to it being that way. It looks remarkably like the Max & Erma's in Cranberry right before it closed its doors. Service was prompt and friendly. No complaints at all. The food was on point and was as great as I remembered it to be. We got 2 quarts of tortilla soup to go so that we could share the nostalgia with our family and they were equally as smitten. I hope this place stays around and that it gets a little refresher. Generations of yinzers need their tortilla soup, buffalo chicken, and let's not forget those unforgettable cookies to go!

I have had their steaks and grilled meats many times over the years, but on this visit I had one of their salads. One of the main salads on their menu is the Grilled Chicken and Strawberry salad, which is made with Grilled chicken breast, field greens (not Lettuce ) with fresh strawberries, grapes, mandarin oranges, candied pecans, feta and a raspberry vinaigrette. I also ordered a side of their grilled shrimp, which you will find on their sides menu. The service was good and the food fresh and plentiful. The shrimp tasted as they should, and I had a good, not-too-heavy meal at an affordable price point. I will say that Longhorns Steakhouse is always consistent and one of my go-to's when travelling throughout the US.
