I've come here a million times and it never disappoints! I got the homemade wedding soup on this brisk day and it sure warmed me up. I had a small salad with the homemade garlic ranch which I wish they sold in bottles! You HAVE to try any of the rolls...homemade pizza dough with all sorts of filling: spinach; chicken bacon; pepperoni I got some food to go while I ate in and they forgot the salmon on my salad. No biggie I was finishing my beer. They gave me a drink token for my next visit! Excellent good and service here! read more

We ate at this family owned restaurant while visiting Pittsburgh and really enjoyed it! Our waitress was part of the family who owned it and her pride in their establishment was visible, it was nice to see. We had the famous pizza rolls which were truly delicious, along with all three of the sauces. The garlic ranch was VERY garlicky in a good way. We also tried the Downey burger which was freshly made, no patty puck. The fries were nice too. The Mac and cheese (Friday only) was a bit bland for my palate but my kids loved it. The only thing I really didn't like was that the chicken tenders were described as "not your kids tendies" but they were very much kid tendies- frozen, pressed chicken, unexceptional at best. Those were let down and a misleading description. My husbands Philly cheesesteak was also kind of meh- fine, but nothing special. Overall though, I enjoyed this local spot a lot. read more

The restaurant is in a plaza which made parking a little more difficult. As for the inside of the restaurant, it was clean. There wasn't that much seating inside. It did appear there was a patio of some sort but it was January and 18 degrees when we went. The waitress was very attentive. As for the food, I ordered the chicken Philly. It was really good with shaved chicken compared to chucks of sliced chicken breast. It was seasoned well. My husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich which he said I was good but especially enjoyed the quality bun. My daughter got a pizza which she said was delicious and very cheesy. The main bread of the pizza was thinner but the crust was nice a fluffy. My other daughter got the kids grilled cheese and it was toasted to perfection and loaded with cheese. The fries were a crispy beer battered fry. We got the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They were cooked just right for the ultimate cheese pull. I prefer the skinny longer mozzarella sticks over the short fat ones. But overall all the food was excellent and the kids said they want to come back! read more

Local, popular, family-owned joint pumping out great food and good vibes. There was a bit of a wait when we showed, but we managed to be seated in about 15 minutes. Service was fast and friendly once we were seated, with one of the owners' daughters serving us. The pepperoni rolls are indeed the must have item here. The dough was so good that I would be inspired to try some regular pizza if we were back in the area again. The meatballs were also delicious, and although I would've preferred it as a sandwich, my kid decided to get it with spaghetti. The accompanying garlic toast was pleasant as well. The Downey burger, while good, wasn't really anything special, and the Philly cheesesteak unfortunately left something to be desired. That aside, it was still good, and the fries were excellent with the nacho cheese sauce being above average. read more

I got a turkey club with fries. The portion sizes were very large. I could even fit my mouth around it. It was good, the turkey was good turkey. I also had the seasoned fries which I really enjoyed. The service was just ok. The waitress was nice but seemed confused. It took a very long time for us to get our food, and she forgot to bring us our bill. We had to remind her, she said she thought we had already paid. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, when you walk in there is a large bar where many people were eating lunch. We went to the restaurant part. It was comfortable and you could talk as the noise level wasn't loud. read more

This is a place I always recommend to out-of-town friends who want a restaurant with a real Pittsburgh feel. Friendly staff, lots of regulars who the waitresses know by name, family owned, and simple, unpretentious, and really good food. It just feels like a local place, whether you go there weekly or it's your first time. Can't recommend it enough. read more

I can't believe I never knew this place existed, and after 6pm this place is packed!! Great spot to mingle with locals at the bar or just experience some comfort bar food. The pepperoni rolls were to die for. Dipped in garlic ranch? Next level. The spinach rolls were also delicious! I got a caesar salad and was pleasantly surprised!! It was generously dressed and the dressing had great flavor! read more

Don't order takeout!! They will hammer you for a fee and charge for condiments without telling you. We ordered the fish and it was not good whatsoever. Overall, it was a horrible experience and won't order or go there again. read more

Pepperoni rolls are a must! They are absolutely delicious. Macaroni is a hard pass! The service was quick and prompt for a weekday lunch, and the vibes are super family friendly and easy place to catch up with a friend. The portions are great too! The selection is good. I would come here again if I was nearby and wanted something filling read more

Downey's House was highly recommended for our family dinner night. There are many local drafts and cans to choose from. I liked the casual restaurant/bar set up. The menu was massive and had a little something for everyone. We ordered Missy's buffalo chicken dip and chicken bacon cheddar rolls for appetizers. The rolls were the star even with the marinara dipping sauce. Next time, I want to try the rolls with ranch. The buff chicken dip was just ok. We ordered various entrees and everyone agreed they were happy with their choices even the picky eaters. The service here was really good. I look forward to more get togethers at Downey's. read more

What a pleasant surprise- stopped by for lunch and we were happy we did! So many reviews for the zucchini had me craving it, but unfortunately they have removed it from the menu. We both had the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was great. The chicken was so tender and the wrap was full of flavor. The French fries are tremendous also. Wedding soup was uneventful w little flavor or veggies- mostly broth w some chicken and spinach. Overall, and great lunch! read more

Place is known for its fish sandwiches. Small and a large . Single or a double . $16.95 is now the single and if you want the second piece add $8.99 . Last your it was like $18.95 for the large . Very clever way to increase your bottom line . I called to question why the change and was given some hokey story that the single piece is a better quality. Somebody gotta pay the rent I guess read more

This really is just comfort/bar food without the seasoning. I knew it was going to be blah when the Italian wedding soup had cheese and chicken in it with no orzo pasta. The food was just okay. I'm not sure I would go again read more

Often overlooked but never underestimated, this gem of a place never posts a poor result from service to flavor it's an A+ for this house of food. Want a place before or during game day?

Fabulous daily specials. Large portions and great service. Definitely a great place to sit and enjoy

It was a great first stop being back in the Burgh! Home town feel with all the feels separate sports bar and dining room area. Delicious gluten free pizza and separate gluten free menu.

We have been to this restaurant many times before! Our favorite restaurant in Robinson! The customer service is great! The food is amazing! Today hubby had the hot roast beef sandwich with fries I tried the roast beef and it was super tender and the portion was huge!!

Best "roni rolls" in all my travels across the us. Fluffy insides, crispy outsides, and the browned cheese on the bottom. All of the rolls from here are great. The pub burgers served here are in the upper teir of burgers for sure. Asking how you would like your burger cooked is always a good early sign. Hidden gem on the menu is the meatball volcano Them fries be crispy. I'm having flash backs typing this. Top tier in house made garlic ranch. It can be loud on game day and during drinking holidays. Outside of that there's a separate dining area to keep it quiet and chill. read more

This might be tucked in the back of a plaza and somewhat intimidating to visit after dark, but it's worth the visit! The staff is friendly and they offer some interesting menu items, all that they make in-house. Their pepperoni rolls were decent, but not the best I've had. But their stuffed hot peppers were definitely the best I've had; nice, spicy, and flavorful! Atmosphere is somewhat basic, but it's welcoming and they play the games on their TVs at the bar. I'll definitely return! read more

Summary: very good food. Very small beer selection. Clean. Friendly efficient staff. If you've read my other reviews, you know that beer is a big part of what I look for. So if that's not important to you, Downey's food is really good and it's worth a visit. But for me, I'm looking for more than four choices of brews. Sam Seasonal was the closest I got to a craft beer. The Blue Burger was really good and cooked to order, which I appreciate. My wife was able to substitute a Turkey patty on her mushroom and Swiss burger and loved it. The wait staff was super nice and helpful. If you're in the area and aren't looking for a good mug of suds to go with your meal, it's a good spot. read more

My food was delicious. Went there with my husband and brother and sister-in-law. Great place very busy but delicious food.

Came in on a Saturday around 5pm. There was a decent crowd on hand, but we were seated immediately. We came in December and the Christmas decorations were up. It looked cute in there! Our server was super friendly and quick to check on us and take our orders. We had the pepperoni rolls as an app and the whole table was in agreement that they were our favorite thing. The dough was not dry at all and there was the proper ratio of cheese & pepperoni to dough. I had a mixed greens salad with buffalo grilled chicken. It was standard. My brother had the reuben and my mom had the turkey reuben. They both loved the toasted rye bread and said the sandwiches were thick. They did not skimp on the meat. My mom made a comment about the coleslaw being good and not sweet. We aren't fans of sweet coleslaw! I will definitely be back. read more

I would officially consider this place a little hidden gem. In particular, the outdoor bar area was a fantastic spot for a weekday dinner. This included friendly service from our bartender. There were absolutely zero frills outside and their beer selection is lacking overall, but the FOOD. The food was absolutely delicious including the pepperoni rolls (definitely order their garlic ranch) and the Italian hoagie. I don't usually skip fries but decide to get the coleslaw, and I'm glad I did. read more

Food today was acceptable big concern automatic gratuity on Togo orders .....I was going to tip more than the 10% that was magically added I scratched out the amount I was going to tip & now the server or bartender whomever felt it was acceptable to ADD a TIP to the Togo order .... Had it been a service charge would not have been happy either the fact that some people are tipping 25-30% on total unaware of the Automatic tip....spoke to a customer in parking lot he said he tipped 25% & was unaware of the automatically added Tip..... SO great job way to make SOME of your customers unhappy..... and for those customers who are better tippers you have now soured their trust in this place read more

Pepperoni rolls with house garlic sauce was outstanding! Waitress very nice. Good atmosphere. Would go again!

I'm in town for business and this time went in search of a local place to eat. And boy did I find it! Tucked in behind a brake shop, it's hidden from view from the street but quite popular. While not dark by any means, exactly what I'd think of as a local joint complete with a deer head and stuffed fish (I don't judge; I'm from Texas). While they were short handed, I never felt unattended to or that I was being ignored. Shannon was behind the bar and working many of the tables. She is a delight and welcomed her regulars with gusto. Now to the food. I'm trying to bury this here so nobody comes after me. I've never had a Philly Cheesesteak so what better place to try it than in Pennsylvania. The hoagie was fabulous with lots of ooey, gooey, melty cheese. And the fries were the best. Perfectly crispy! I could only eat half my sammich and have a snack for later! read more

I love a good dive bar! And who knew you could find one in Robinson?! It was a nice change of pace to stop here, since Robinson is full of nothing but chain restaurants. I sat in the bar area. The crowd was a little rough around the edges, but I felt fine. The food was good. The server told me about the famous "rolls" so I ordered the Italian as an appetizer and it was so good! I'd go back! read more

Downey's House - Italian Rolls - American Near Me - Mc Kees Rocks, Pennsylvania

Well. This place seemed promising. I'm all for supporting local and small businesses, but I will also gove my honest opinion. They were busy. Very busy, but service was great. That's the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars. Fast, accurate, and fresh. Staff was polite and we never felt rushed. The automosphere was noisy, crowded, and definitely gave the "bar scene" ambiance. Which I'm not a huge fan of, but I knew that going into it. Now the food? Just okay. I got the Becca's salad with steak. Which was roughly $16? I didn't say the bill so not remembering the exact price. But I can say is that it was overpriced. "Mixed greens"? You mean iceburgh lettuce with 10 pieces of spring mix? I got maybe 2 ounces of steak. 4 roasted red peppers, 6 cucumbers and maybe 2 tablespoons of feta cheese. I got raspeberry vinegarette for the dressing and it was SUPER thick. Almost like jam. So i didnt even put it on my salad. Not $16 worthy. I did try some fries. Beer battered fries. Pretty standard. The sweet potato fries had absolutely no flavor. My uncle got the grilled salmon and the salmon was the size of a standard hot dog. The baked potato was huge though. I would not come back nor would I recommend this place to anyone. But it was busy. So some people like it. read more
