    We enjoyed our dinner at The Back Porch Restaurant in Belle Vernon, PA…read more This restaurant is about 1 hour drive from downtown Pittsburgh. We are in town for a wedding. The building is a beautiful mansion Est. in 1806. The mansion was converted to a restaurant in 1975. You need reservations for the upper upscale dining area. We decided to eat in the Speakeasy room located in the basement because it was more casual. Glad we ate in speakeasy room because it was a really nice cave looking room with vintage decor and cool prohibition photos from the 1920s. We enjoyed the Half Rack of char grilled pork ribs with brown sugar, soy and ginger with a side of cheesy scallop potatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the crème brûlée and Kahlua cheesecake. Everything we ordered was excellent!! We had really good service. Check this place out if ever in the area. Happy Yelping :)

    The Back Porch feels like a hidden gem. Located about 50 minutes south of Pittsburgh, this historic…read morebuilding turned restaurant was beautiful and checked all of our boxes. The ambiance is intimate and welcoming. The interior and decor really add to the charm. We had reservations for 10 at 6:30 on a Saturday. We were sat in a back room at a nice big table. Sonny (sp?) our wait staff did a phenomenal job keeping up with all of our requests. A couple diners in our group were picky eaters, and even with their nitpicking he maintained a great attitude and made sure to make everyone feel at home. They had a great selection of summer specials. I opted for the hibiscus mule - a yummy cocktail with a tequila twist. My husband got the strawberry smash. Both drinks were strong and full of flavor. Thank goodness the homemade rolls came after my drink because the mule was kicking in! The bread was soft and you could tell it was homemade. Then came the food. The presentation was gorgeous and the flavors were on point. We ordered the calamari as our appetizer. Lightly breaded and not overly salty like you get some places. The sweet chili sauce with it was the perfect addition. For dinner we had the prime rib, and salmon Hemingway, with a side of scalloped potatoes and Parisian carrots. I was getting full but couldn't help but finish my salmon. Everything tasted amazing! The potatoes were rich and creamy. I had to save room for dessert. They were out of my first choice of chocolate mousse cake, so I opted for the creme brûlée. Wonderful experience at the Back Porch. I highly recommend enjoying a date night or celebratory dinner here!

    This place is one of my new favorite spots! It doesn't get much better than Wooly's!…read more I've been here a number of times since moving to Johnstown, and every time I swear it just gets better! This is the place where everyone knows everyone. It's friendly and the staff knows you by name and knows your order before you even sit down. The food: Admittedly, they have a relatively small menu, however they picked one menu item and mastered it: Burgers. On the menu they have the Wooly Burger (highly recommended!), the Hot Scottsman, Hobby Horse, the Irishman, as well as featured special burgers like the sundowner and Guinness burger. They also have fries, loaded fries, homemade potato chips, and tacos. Truly you can't go wrong with a burger and order of homemade chips. Wooly's won best burger award for a reason!! Wooly's also has ample seating in the back for patrons who prefer to sit at a table as well as a billiards table. My significant other and I will often hit up Wooly's during the week for a burger and a couple rounds of billiards. Whether your from out of town or a local, the staff at Woolys will make you feel just like family!

    Hands down the best burgers I have ever eaten and they are HUGE! I can only ever tackle half of the…read moreburgers, but they are so delicious it is hard to stop. The fries and chips are both fresh cut and you can taste the freshness, absolutely delicious - but don't forget to try them with the Wooly sauce! The soups are also amazing, the Irish Stu and Potato soup are a must try and will not disappoint. The atmosphere of the pub is very warm and inviting, with friendly staff. Wooly's is a must stop for Johnstown!
