We went to Lagerheads for our first visit. We found the staff to be very nice and helpful, and the place was very clean. For appetizers, we tried their cheese fries (pretty good, though a little pricey for some french fries covered in cheese), and the stuffed peppers app special they were running. We found the peppers to be very good. They were definitely the star of our visit. For dinners, we tried a burger and a quesadilla, which were both good. The burger was great quality. Also had a reuben, though this was a little disappointing. Too much bread and not enough of anything on it, really. I probably would not get that again, unfortunately. It was okay, just mediocre when you want a good reuben. We also had the fish sandwich, and my daughter said it was "okay." We definitely would go back and try something else. Will update when and if we do. read more

Always a good experience. Love the pizza, the steak and always a pretty good draft selection. Service is always friendly and good.

I've been to Lagerheads a few times now. It's a pleasant little bar and grill located a stones throw from the river. I think it's an excellent establishment and one of my go to choices for a nearby restaurant. The food is up to my standards and the wait staff are very attentive and helpful with whatever you require. It's a place I often take my friends to when they visit and I have not been disappointed yet. read more

Keith G. I'm From Ohio been here multiple times when my ex and i picked up her twins.Great place. Good food, great service and music.

Wow! We were in town visiting and this place exceeded our expectations. The drinks were great and the prices were great as well. The people that worked there were all so kind! The service was great! The vibes were small town bar--as as out of towners we felt right at home. read more

Great find. Food was very, very good! Our group ordered the Hot Italian, Philly Cheese Steak and Old Dog Reuben. All were great! Fries also hit the spot. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our experience. read more

Good food and good beer. Hot cheese balls for an app, BCB melt and hot Italian were good! Fair prices!!

Driving through and someone had given a review of "as good as it gets around here". How could we not try it... . So glad we did. Really solid food. I had the reuben and my husband had the Hot Italian Sub. Our server Kendall suggested the lager cheese for the fries, and wow! Was it good. It's better than, as good as it gets. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner and loved it! The atmosphere was super cool, and the food was very good! Large menu selection, very reasonable prices, food tasted great! Bar area, and outside seating for warmer months. Also, lots of local beer to choose from. It is a bar, with typical bar food.. but better! There is also a dining area separate from bar area (family friendly) read more

I called to ask in if they were open and they just hung up. No response just straight up hung up. I wasn't told if I could be heard or not and if that person was having a bad day, they could have said so, maps says they're open. read more

Our first time this afternoon. First impression; exceeded expectations. Service was friendly and prompt. Very helpful. Food was served hot and we'll prepare. We will definitely return! read more

I really don't get the hype with this place, maybe I'm always ordering the wrong things? It's average bar food, nothing special at all. Service is meh. Every time I have been here the inside is dirty and there are tons of unclean tables. read more

Their food is so good!! I recommend the Chicken bacon ranch pizza and the nachos cheese is the best I even had.

I always forget about this restaurant, mainly due to its distance from us. There are other restaurants closer to us, but I have to give props where props are due. This is a nice little bar/restaurant in the college town of Cal U. We've never ventured to the bar side, always the restaurant side, and mainly for special occasions or their specials. However, after just checking their online menu and the Facebook page,...what happened to steak night? Or wing night? Is it gone for good or just during the pandemic? Say it ain't so Joe! Our last visit there was in January 2020, before this COVID nightmare began. We stopped in for their wing special. I think it was like $4.99 for a pound of wings. Personally, I don't like the pricing structure. Some of us got 10 wings, while others got 11. There's nothing really unique about their sauces; I tried the "Hotter Than You Want" and they weren't all that spicy. But the wings are always cooked spot on; never had an undercooked wing there. Love the fried pickles, but alas I d on't see them on the online menu anymore either. On another visit, I had the Mesquite Salmon Salad - THAT was really good. If you order a meal, see if you can get it with the little round carrots. They are sweeter than Moms Mabley. As for the beer? Great selection. Pricey (some glasses were $6; steep for a college town), but great selection. Beer taps line the railings next to the walls, with (presumably) faux loggerhead turtle shells adorning the walls. (Get it? Lagerheads?). Service is always good. Pricing is fair. Would we go back? We have. And we will. COVID be damned! read more

A classic in CALU culture! Their food and service is top notch. Also if you have the chance i definitely recommend chatting around the bar, the vibes and people are always friendly. read more

Great food. Great service. Family business that cares about its customers. Recommended by the Hampton.

Always looking for great wing sauces. Best we've found next to our Favorite in Jupiter Florida.

Went with a group of people. They all loved their food. So I would suggest this place and to make the decision yourself. However I would not suggest the sweet tea (did not taste like tea, had a bad taste to it) or the boneless wings (freezer burned). Service was average. read more

The service is always amazing at the bar and restaurant. The food is great, especially the wings. The bartenders and severs are all so sweet and kind. I have never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend. read more

Great service for a large party on the back patio. Staff was very attentive to the amount of sunlight, wind, etc. to ensure everyone was comfortable. Shared several appetizers and large pizzas. Would recommend. read more

Bartender was really nice. They had a nice selections of beers. And the food was really fresh and good. Had the appetizer special, bacon wrapped jalapeños. And fish tacos. Both were really good. Staying at a local hotel so I'll be back! read more

A great all around Restaurant that can be accessed from the Monongahela River by boat or jet ski! We go here as often as possible! Great food and a Great Craft Beer Selection!!

We're riding the GAP trail and looking for a place for cold bre and some good food. Yelped and decided to check this place out. Decided to go by and did not stop places looked dead only 1 person at bar. Awning out front ripped up decided to River House Cafe in Charleroi instead it was a good choice ! read more

Really great food and service was amazing. Also big plus is they allowed our dog on patio seating area. We had a burger with onion rings and "The Godfather" sandwich with fries. Both were a cut above most little spots like this. I can't say enough about this little gem!!! Definitely check it out. read more

I would give Lagerheads 10 stars if I could! I am currently a grad student at Cal, so I have been to Lagerheads many times, and it's always a great experience! The food is so good! The wings are seriously fantastic! And so are the buffalo balls. And so are the sandwiches.... the list goes on. The beer is always cold and the crowd is always pretty decent. It's a family friendly place, which is a plus for being so close to a college town. Lagerheads is truly a little hidden gem that never disappoints! read more

Fun, friends and family kind of atmosphere, even a cute date. Food is Tasty the Prices decent too.

Great place to stop during our road trip from Washington DC to Wisconsin. Coal Center, the town Lagerheads is in, is a tiny little town on the banks of Monongahela River right off of state hwy 43. The food here was delicious and our server super friendly. I had the Hot Italian sandwich, crispy fries, and lagerhead cheese sauce. Yum! The patio seating area is great and they let us bring our 2 dogs. The owners and staff were also super nice to our dogs giving them water and pets. read more

We watched this place grow. Back in the day we might be the only couple there on a Friday. Now, it's packed most of the time. Mark and Joy put a tremendous amount of sweat equity into the place, and it shows in the food, the furnishings and the ambiance. You can't go wrong here, unless you want to behave like a drunken fool. My wife and I are here once a week. We call it eating at home. read more

Great drinks, good bar food. The trivia nights on Thursday is where it's atttt. Good environment and they have a side with tables and booths for families. read more

Good drink prices and really good food! For a small town bar they have a good sized menu! The beer cheese is to die for

Yep. As good as it gets around here. Good food. Good price. Good Service. Try it some time. read more

I really enjoy this place for a quick bite. The food is very good especially the Lager cheese... I could go on for decades about how awesome it is. I believe it's just some sort of salsa/ queso/ beer mix but it is amazing on everything. EVERYTHING! read more

We had sandwiches for dinner, turkey club and grilled chicken. Both were delicious. Fries were good, at least they weren't frozen ones. Restaurant is in the middle of nowhere but we're happy there was good food to be found on our travels. read more

Overall an enjoyable place to eat and a nice atmosphere. I came here with my boyfriend and his two friends on Sunday July 7th in the evening and had a wonderful time. We all ordered the golden garlic wings and loaded nachos. The food was fantastic and tasty and hits the spot. I ordered a Sex on the Beach as my alcoholic drink, which was the best one I've had in quite some time. Our bartender was super friendly and conversational as well and all of the patrons seemed nice and there is a mixed crowd here of locals of all ages and college students. Plus the music is good. They played a variety of music types and were playing all one hit wonder songs I haven't heard in a long time. The decor is nice and the place is clean. If you are turned off by college bars and restaurants and are unsure of the place, I'd advise to give this restaurant/bar a chance as it is the best in the California area and it is far from being a dive bar or a college party bar. read more

I have been going to Lagerheads since 2004 and they never disappoint. There aren't many actual sit down type restaurants this close to the college so when I was a student and parents or family would visit I would often take them here. I almost always get the same thing - the Buff Chick salad and Broccoli Poppers. They had this yummy Chocolate spoon cake and then didn't have it and now they have it again. I love it and its one of those desserts that come from a supplier so I've had it at different restaurants in the US. The owners have always been really nice and accommodating. I have ordered catering from here before and also have been to events in their top floor banquet room. read more

Lagerheads is a fun college bar/restaurant near Cal U. Half the building a restaurant and half is a bar. Tip: If there is a wait for the restaurant, go to the bar side. There are tables there and you can order food without waiting for a table. We were here on both a Friday and a Saturday night and went to the bar. It wasn't too busy until after nine. We ordered the nachos, chicken fingers and Cobb salad. Everything was good, except the bartenders' attitude. I was expecting happy, outgoing bartenders. Instead, on both nights, it seemed as if we were bothering the staff when we ordered our drinks. Since we didn't have napkins with our nachos, we tried to get their attention to get some. Never happened. Instead, after about five minutes of waiting for the bartenders to notice us, the guy next to us leaned over the bar, grabbed some cocktail napkins and handed them to us. He said the same thing happened to him. Thank goodness for the friendly patrons! The bartenders' are simply not attentive or friendly. It was the only thing preventing the 5 stars. My advice...be bold. or loud. or both. read more

This place is exactly as I remember it when I was in college years ago. The quality is still top notch. I love this bar. read more
