Returned to my favorite stomping ground in BV and couldn't have been more disappointed! I had the now famous King Burger (looks nothing like the online photos) and it was absolutely horrible. Dry, over-cooked, small and (I kid you not) there was ONE French-fry on my burger... I Even took a pic of it with my phone I was so disappointed. The place was run-down and filthy. The customers all seemed like (and acted like) underage drunks. Hate to say it but I won't be returning to this once popular hang-out. Why can't people leave well-enough alone? The good-ole-days truly are gone! read more

The only reason to visit the Foster House is to eat one of their king sandwiches. In my opinion they are better than Primanti Brothers. If you decide to go for a king sandwich then make sure to go on Sunday. They offer a buy one get one free deal starting around 6:00. Pros: Tasty food Reasonable prices Good alcohol selection Cons: Smoking is allowed Lack of seating Cash only read more

Love this bar! I have to agree with everyone else about the King sandwich being delicious and even better than Primanti's. The prices are incredibly reasonable as well. Highly recommended. read more

King steak is fantastic. Very filling and delicious. Would have been 5 stars, but 9/10 I get stuck with the world's worst bartender.

I'm sorry to say this place isn't what it used to be in many ways. They've moved to a bigger location and the building has no ambiance or coziness about it at all. I went at 4pm and it was so dead I thought they'd just opened the doors. Despite sitting at the bar right behind the bartender, I was not greeted. She was attending to the cash drawer, but didn't say hello, ask me to give her a minute, or anything. When I finally was waited on, I ordered a draft. She then turned around and went back to the cash register. I waited another five minutes before I asked for my beer again. She gave it to me with no apology. I ordered the fish sandwich. It arrived about 20 minutes later. In southwestern PA when someone orders a fish sandwich you have certain expectations, one being the piece of fish will be significantly larger than the bun. The fish was small and well over-fried. This unfortunately was consistent with my prior meal there, a cappicola ham King sandwich, which was also bland and disappointing. This place used to be a go to visit when I was in the area. Now I'm not sure I'll be back at all. read more

Great King Sandwiches! Sunday they are BOGO if you eat them there. Atmosphere is cozy and all the food is great!

Great for a sandwich, Pittsburgh style. People often compare "foho" and primantis but to me their both delicious. I haven't had a bad sandwich here and recommend to anyone visiting the mid Mon valley for any reason. read more

Best bar food around. The king sandwiches are the amazing and blow Primanti's out of the water. Not to mention that they have really good specials on alcohol through out the week. I suggest it to anyone looking for a new bar to give a try. read more

It's not a bad place if you want pub food and drinks. I think they were kind of pricey for food but not to bad overall.

I've lived in the area on and off for 28 years and for some reason I've never eaten at The Foster House. Since they recently moved to a new location I figured I'd check it out. I had the King Capicola Sandwich, which is much like the Primanti Bros sandwich, and was completely blown away. I'd say that it was literally the best sandwich I've ever had and that after eating it I will never, wantingly, eat at Primantis ever again. Their sandwiches are super legit and I highly recommend that you give one a try. read more

King Sandwich is better then any Pittsburgh sandwich with fries..... ive been eating here since 1985 and its still the best.

If you're in the area and looking for a good sandwich their king sandwiches are amazing!! Way better than primantis and on Sunday's they have buy one get one free sandwiches!! read more

This is one of my favorite bars! The food and beer are great, and so are the people. The King sandwich is the thing to order, much better then Pramani's read more

King Cap, is all i need to say...Wish they didn't raise the prices the last few yrs!!

New location nice, first time eating foster house period. Food was great but service sucked it was terrible, one in my party ordered king fish and got chicken she ended up eating it because waitress never came back around when we told her she tried telling us she cane back a million times, ha ha ha I think not!!!! This waitress was terrible and had an attitude. Won't be back watched several people walk out due to service Oder came out in bits and pieces. Not impressed by service! Have to update! So after watching countless people walk out because of service and also people walking out without paying, this place was terrible in the service department. We literally sat there for over an hour waiting for food that was trickled out one piece at a time and all over the bar. Guy throws "cheese sticks and mushrooms down says what they are and I don't know who they go to figure it out! And then it's not cheese sticks it's zucchini which looked like cheese sticks, weird! The waitress then tells us that whenever we're ready just see her at the bar for us to tell her what we're paying for and she'll ring us up first place I ever went to where the burden of proof as to what I ordered and eight was on the customer to tell the server we were not presented with a bill they would not give us split checks saying they're not allowed to but yet a whole baseball team comes in and they all got individual checks we heard comments from several regulars even up by the bar that said they would never come back again because of how the service was and how people are being treated the waitress then proceeds to say that somebody in our party had a salad that wasn't paid for and I said well sorry but it's pretty hard after we sat here for over an hour drinking waiting for food and then the burden is all on us to tell you what we had and what we are to pay for, restaurants usually give their patrons a bill not expect us to come tell you everything we need to pay for, she got nasty about and then goes and starts talking smack to another girl and a customer saying that we are rude , I tell my party I will never come back and they all agreed! Next thing I know she through my change at me and tells me to never f'n come back. Oh no you don't!! So we go to the owners and have them a piece of our minds and tell them how we were treated, we got shoulder shrugs and sorries, well sorry not enough! We have never ever been treated this way anywhere!! Well never again! read more

Terrible service and the food was NOT worth the time or money. Don't waste your time.
