It delivers on what people expected from Subway back in the day and current day Chipotle. You can order tons of vegetables that are perfectly prepared and make the bowl of your choice. I love getting the spinach base with pickled onion, corn, crispy onions, hard boiled eggs, chicken, sweet potato. It is just that... and so yummy! The price is reasonable too! I ordered takeout here and the food was immediately ready at the time promised. The stag kindly greeted me and had me on my way. The store fits the mark too. Current decor, well laid out, and just downright comforting. I'll be going to Roots for many more lunches.

When I first came in, the girl who greeted me was very welcoming and kind. She could see I hadn't been there before and explained how it all worked. I was happy when she said I could make my own. She was patient as I walked through the options and chose what I wanted. Made my own bowl with steak, rice and veggies with lemon tahini dressing. Soooo good! It was $16 for the bowl but I ate half today and will eat half tomorrow. I think k it's a big portion and a good deal. I'd like to come back and try another option. Check them out.

Elevated above a "continental breakfast" but not so pretentious that it sacrifices it's taste or quantity. For me, First Watch is a personally underrated, solid, fast casual breakfast chain. I'm confident the primary complaint here would be the same for most locations - the wait. The wait is not ideal (for two of us it was 45 minutes). As compared to other spots & places I've reviewed and complained about wait times - this is a restaurant, not a walk-up window or a spot that isn't constantly "buzzing." This spot would be five stars for me if the location were bigger and could expedite that hold up. However, the food and their service was top notch. Worth a wait - 45 minute is cutting it close but cravings are real. The team here is great, food was delicious. Will absolutely be back.

I've visited BJ's Brewhouse twice and had a great experience both times. My first visit was before…read morea wedding, and I really enjoyed trying the margarita flight. On my second visit, I ordered a margarita with chips and salsa. The kitchen was very accommodating and allowed me to substitute a double order of salad instead of the usual salsa and guacamole, which I appreciated.

A random Monday night. Three people. A craving for pizza. And the irresistible lure of BJ's $19…read morepizza night. What could possibly go wrong? Walking into BJ's is like opening a phone book from 1997. The menu is absolutely limitless. Page after page after page of "Sure, we can make that too." If you've ever thought, "I wish one restaurant served pizza, pasta, burgers, tacos, steaks, salads, and probably auto parts," BJ's has you covered. The restaurant is huge and has a long bar. World Cup Soccer was playing...seemed like it could be a fun place to watch sports. We started with beers, a glass of wine, and the spinach artichoke dip. The dip arrived quickly, which was impressive. The dip itself? Perfectly adequate. Not bad. Not good. Just existing. It was the Switzerland of appetizers. Next up, a salad and the burrata pizza. Fair warning: the pizza that arrived appeared to have only a passing acquaintance with the glamorous model featured in the menu photo. Apparently, the menu photographer deserves a raise. The salad and pizza hit the table, but our drinks were still on a spiritual journey somewhere between the bar and our booth. Thankfully, we had water, because dehydration was beginning to feel like a real possibility. Eventually the drinks arrived and we dug in. The pizza was... mediocre. Not offensively bad. Not memorable. Just aggressively average. Somehow it also managed to be dry, which is an impressive achievement for pizza. We asked for extra sauce, and our server happily brought out a cup. Unfortunately, the sauce appeared to have come directly from a refrigerator..... Nothing says "fresh pizza enhancement" quite like cold, cold marinara. To be fair, our server was pleasant, friendly, and genuinely trying his best. He was easily the highlight of the meal. Will we be back? Probably not. With a menu that large, you'd think they'd eventually stumble into greatness. On this visit, they mostly stumbled into mediocrity.

We also have really liked the caprese sandwich on their crunchy bread. On our birthdays, we have gotten all different types of cakes from chocolate to blueberry to carrot.

I would definitely recommend stopping by!

Not excited that I had to pay for chips and salsa, but after tasting the salsa my brothers and sisters it is totally worth it. Best Salsa in Pittsburgh probably the entire east coast. The chips are also fantastic. For me the measure of a good Mexican restaurant comes in their Enchiladas Suizas. They did not disappoint. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. One bite and the flavor explodes in your mouth. I didn't like the sauce as much as straight Tomatillo but it grew on me. We will definitely eat here again! I arrived a skeptic. I left a believer!

Shake was incredible. I got the turtle shake cause some portion gets donated to PGH aquarium for turtles. The habanero wings were crispy and good, but small. The burger was underwhelming. There was little to no seasoning on anyone's burger or fries. There's one shot to make a good impression so we come back and repeatedly spend the $112.69 on my family at happy hour. I'm sad to report that we will likely not be back. The ambiance was phenomenal, and we liked our server, Crystal (?? I think. She was very nice and attentive).
