The mahi mahi tacos were very good. Barbacoa (braised beef) is delicious. My cousin ordered a quesadilla platter and it was enormous... the size of her plate practically (it folds over). She asked for a vegetarian version and the kitchen substituted with grilled cauliflower which she loved. Our server Alexia was a doll. Very accommodating. The entire staff was so helpful. They have a full bar and it looks like they turn into a nightclub atmosphere at night. We went during lunch on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Highly recommended. They have a rooftop patio but we didn't see it.

Decided to ignore the reviews and check out this brunch place!…read more Overall it was a good experience, not great but also not horrible! The main thing to mention is the wait times, they are not lying when they say it's gonna take forever to eat here. However, we were fairly warned when being sat and also when we ordered food that the wait times may be longer. That is a huge plus!!! We knew what to expect and weren't upset in the slightest. We ended up being there for a little over two hours including seating us, which was long indeed but we all were enjoying ourselves and our drinks. The food we ordered ended up being absolutely delicious!! Everyone loved everything they ordered. The drink selections were so fun and also all very delicious. They have a very large parking lot behind the building and next to it, which is a huge plus for being in Youngstown.

This was genuinely the worst restaurant I ever been to. For context, over the summer, I had an…read moreinternship, and I stayed in the Youngstown area. Because I am from Chicago, I would want to know where all the good food spots are. I found this place on TikTok, and I wanted to treat myself over the weekend after completing a hard project that a lot of engineers could not figure out. So, I was seated quickly, but only because I came in solo. After that, the lady at the bar asked if I wanted anything, and I just wanted water at the moment. Then, after I figured out what I wanted to eat, it took a little over 10 mins for the lady to come through and take my order. I did not think much of it at the time because I was in a good mood. 30 mins have passed by, and I am starting to get hungry. Typically, restaurants take between 30-45 mins with food. Maybe less if not busy. An hour and 15 minutes passed by, and I didn't have my food, so I asked the waitress about my food, and she said it should be out in the next five mins... 10 minutes went by, and I still didn't have anything, so I am starting to get annoyed about it. I asked the waitress again about my stuff, and she told me, "sir your food will be out soon, sweetheart." passively aggressive. I am on the phone with my friend, whispering to her about how the service sucks, and the food is taking too long. She was repeatedly telling me to leave, over and over again, but I was trying to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt. About 2 hours passed, and some of my day was gone..... and I just left out through the back because I could not wait anymore. Usually, I am a very patient guy, but after that, I just could not accept that. The free margarita or whatever drink they gave me wasn't the best either, since it was bland. I got in the car, and I told my friend I wish I read reviews sooner because that was genuinely ridiculous. The place has some type of potential, but it needs a lot of work.

Westside Bowl on Mahoning ave in Youngstown is a great spot for the pizza, the appetizers, the…read moredraft beers and the interior of the joint itself. It's a full unreserved recommend highly and take Mom and Pop for lunch too! Seriously, Westside Bowl DOES have great pizza. They got a LOT of off street safe free parking. The people who work there are friendly AND fun to look at. (not being mean, I just like green hair and a smile ) There are regularly scheduled bands. Some of which do cost $20+ to see, but it's a good concert space downstairs with a good vibe. It's not like you're stuffed into "JJ's Cave" or something. Remember Nyanhinghi? Nitabinghi? That bar that had music up on Steel street? Same good vibe. And that's really the point I'm trying to make. The Westside Bowl is an exemplar (ha!) of what could happen when good, ON SITE management means to a venue. Hit this place up for some cool and mellow times, and enjoy your afternoon. Your night. Your health. This place will make you younger, I #### you not

I ended up taking my meal to-go and ate it later -- absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the bartender completely changed the experience for me. She was a redhead working the bar around 7:30 PM, and from the moment I sat down, she was noticeably unwelcoming. I was literally the only person sitting at the bar, yet she barely checked on me, offered no conversation, and honestly came across with an attitude the entire time. As someone who has worked in the bartending industry myself and who travels often visiting different restaurants and bars, hospitality matters. A bartender sets the tone for the entire experience, especially for solo guests. Sitting alone at a bar can already feel awkward enough, and a warm, welcoming attitude goes a long way. I still tipped her generously despite the experience, because that's just who I am, but management should really pay attention to how guests are being treated behind the bar. It's disappointing because I truly loved the place itself and wanted to give it a full 5 stars. With better customer interaction from the bartender, this place would easily deserve it. The day I was there tonight, which was May 18th 2026. I arrived about 730 and left about 845.
