This place took advantage of the hardship that we are currently in by offering a take out Easter Dinner that my dog refused to eat. I'm also taking back the star that I didn't mean to post! read more

Great mix of wonderful Italian food with entertainment. In fair weather, the patio is fun to sit on either under the canopy or in the general open area. The daily specials are a unique authentic offering. The live music in the evening is a great attribute. Salute! read more

Great food and great prices! Loved the outdoor seating and listening to the Big Band music. Great atmosphere. Service was slow but the waiter was very nice. We ordered a dessert and he said it would take 20 minutes to make. After a half an hour he came to us and said we are out of that would you like something else. We did take something else. I'm sure the waiter will improve over time. There were only about 15 people there. read more

Lastnight was not my first time here. Took my 77 year old mum to meet some old work friends. Food was not as good this time. Banana Peppers were soggy. Was really pissed when the bill came and there was a cover charge added to the dinner bill for 5 bucks per person. Watch for this when figuring tip! Didnt realize there was a cover. Although the music was lovely, i was there for food and drinks. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Good prices too. Cool patio with live music (at times). We got vegetarian stuffed banana peppers and I actually thought they made a mistake and brought the sausage version they were so good. Spice level was perfect. Huge portions too. Menu has tons of options. Believe me, everyone you know will find something they like. I was just there but already craving to go back. read more

Warm beer! We ordered 5 different drafts and they were ALL warm! When we asked about it the server said she's new and not sure if it's always that way so she gave us ice to put in it. Slow service, mediocre food, no manager available and a not-so-friendly bartender (when my husband asked to feel bottle beer to see if it was cold she wouldn't)...we spent $150 and it took over 2 hours to get food even though they weren't busy. Very disappointed and won't go back!!! read more

Was in town for HS reunion and tried the Kamikaze as it is compared to the Triangle Bar Destroyer. Had both a Day apart and my favorite was the Triangle Bar Destroyer. The bread used with the Kamikaze is bland and does not taste like the Italian bread used by Triangle. The meat tasted bland as well compared to the meat used by Triangle. Maybe I'm used to the taste of Triangle Bar sandwiches as I've been going there every time I'm in town for some 50 years, but my choice for an Italian hoagie will be Triangle Bar hands down. read more

We had heard good things about this place and were very disappointed! The menu looked promising . We were a party of 5 and all ordered different draft beers. After waiting 25 min we finally got them They were not busy there were only 3 other tables which should have been a clue on a Friday night. The beers were very warm. When the server came back and we told her she ,she didn't know why they were warm and offered us ice to put in it. We decided to order anyway. We went inside and told the bartender and she didn't care either. We finally got our food and after tracking down a server finally got our checks, after 30 min.We spent about $150 and over 2 hours there. I think we are one and done for this place. read more

We enjoyed our lunch at this quaint little cafe in Braddock. The home made wedding soup was excellent and even included a monster sized meat ball. The chicken parm had just the right amount of tangy sauce on a fresh roll. The hand cut french fries are hot and tasty, the service is friendly and very attentive. Our next visit will include a pint or two of Polish beer on tap. The menu is going to expand to pizza and wings which will make this eatery even more inviting. Bob Portogallo, the genial proprietor of this VETERAN OWNED business, works hard to make this cafe a destination point conveniently located right off the Rankin Bridge. We enjoyed our visit and will most assuredly return soon for another lunch or Happy Hour. read more

The mayor is my favorite sandwich with hot pepper relish added! Soups and dessert were good. Spacious for lunch but a little slow, so I'd suggest ordering ahead. read more

This was an awful place. Service was bad. I ordered risotto and greens and beans. Risotto had no flavor and was cold. The rest should have been called beans and more beans. It was lacking in the greens department. My husband's fries came out about ten minutes after his burger. They were limp and greasy. read more

Peppers N'At down in Braddock, worst service ever. COMPLETELY IGNORED by wait staff for two hours. I'll never set foot in there as a customer again. read more

We had a wonderful time here. The patio was packed. The Italian beef sandwiches were delicious. The owner greeted us and told us of his famous Giardinera served with the sandwiches. Also available for purchase. Then the surprise of live music which they have several nights a week. Relaxing, friendly and very enjoyable. Will be back with some friends later this month. Best of luck to "Peppers". read more

This is a great hidden spot in Braddock that my BF introduced me to. Great "higher end" bar food with a homemade touch. The menu offers a lot of variety. The Chicken Eggplant Parmesan sandwich and fresh cut fries are some of the best I've had. The service needs a bit of work if you're not seated at the bar. It was too slow on our last visit that we ended up canceling our appetizer after waiting 40 minutes for it. Luckily, the waitress took the stuffed peppers off of our bill and sent them home with us to compensate for the extreme delay. Bobby the owner does bring in some great jazz singers/bands which is a nice touch for a summer night on the patio. read more

I will be back to make sure my experience wasn't the norm. First the beer selection is great!! But much of the food was not served hot enough. The stuffed pepper appetizer has hot sauce but it appears the pepper and stuffing are made ahead. They were just warmed and not well enough. Same thing with the cheese on my sandwich. Maybe next time I will try pizza because you know they cook it when you order. I so want this place to make it I hope they correct these issues read more

Have been wanting to try this place and finally stopped down this afternoon. The bar was full, and three tables of people on the enclosed porch. We chose a table on the porch and looked over the menu, waiting about 10 minutes with no service. So, we moved to the small table in the bar, hoping to be noticed by Bob (the owner, who was busy at the bar but also occasionally serving dishes to the folks in the dining room) or one of the two servers. Eye contact was made a few times, and we even waved a hand to signal that we'd like to be served, but they actively avoided acknowledging us. After waiting another ten minutes or so, we gave up and left. Super disappointing. We waited very patiently for almost 20 minutes, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt; maybe they'd already made enough money this afternoon. There were a lot of shots being poured at the bar - perhaps if we'd have made friends with those folks, we'd have been noticed. I've had Bob's giardienara (which is *delicious*, and I intended buy some to bring some home) and was psyched to eat at the new location in Braddock, but I'be got a really bad taste in my mouth (well, none, actually) after today's experience. Sad face. read more

Peppers N'at is open for takeout right now. Their food is great and Bob will go out of his way to make sure everything is right and you are a happy customer. Get the Hunky Grenades. Your stomach will thank you! read more

I was in the mood for a Chicago style Italian beef combo sandwich. I saw that this place made their own giardiniera, so I decided to give it a try. It was decent, but if you're expecting authentic Chicago beef, you'll be severely disappointed. First, the beef is shredded roast beef, not sliced. Secondly, they put red sauce on it without asking. The giardiniera comes in plastic ramekins, so you can put as much or as little as you want on your sandwich. I will say the Italian sausage served in the Combo was very good. We asked whether they made it on site or sourced locally, but our server didn't know. The red sauce was also very good, so food served with it might be better. Decent number of beer taps as well. Worth checking out as long as you don't want a Chicago Italian beef sandwich. read more

The pizza was fantastic! It is hard to find really good pizza in Pittsburgh so this was a really nice surprise. My girlfriend and I were spending a relaxing day at Kennywood and decided to step outside of the park to have dinner. The drive was less than 5 minutes and they had their own parking lot. We were seated outside on a lovely patio, where were sung to by Franki Capri. At first, we were the only guests, but the place filled up fast. Our server was terrific from beginning to end. You can really tell that the owner cares... while looking around, you can almost imagine that this was something he has envisioned in head since he was a child. It should come as no surprise that he was there, checking in on everything happening... I even saw him run some food. After our experience, we headed back to Kennywood and rode the Racer, but when we arrived home we found ourselves reflecting on the restaurant more than the park. Again, the pizza is very good. We bought season passes to Kennywood so I can assure you that every visit to Kennywood will include a visit to Peppers n' At. In fact, I suspect Peppers n' At will se us more often than Kenny the Kangaroo. read more

The food is good.Sometime they run out of menu items and they sometime had a limited menu.They do have bands that play in the restaurant seating on weekends,so look at their website..The waiters are slow .The one nite we waited 1hour and 15min to get our check. But the food will bring you back. Portions are good and it's not pricey. read more

What a great spot! Great food and enthusiastic service, what a great combination. I got meat balls n the Italian beef sandwiches. They were excellent. There is a dining area and a small bar. What else do u need? I'm a customer there forever. read more

Been wanting to try this place out for awhile. Stopped in for lunch got seated in the dining area which is an addition on the building with plastic walls with a cold draft blowing in. Nice set up for the summer time but on the cold side for winter. They were out of a lot of things on the menu. I got the Italian beef sandwhich as my choices were limited. Took awhile to get out drinks and our order. Other people in the dining room were complaining of the wait also. Waitress was lackadaisical as I'm sitting in my work clothes on lunch break there was no rush to get me in and out... she was pleasant though. Took way to long for the food to come out, we're talking about a Italian beef sandwhich come on now!! So I finally bite into my sandwhich, it was good .... way to long of a wait during my lunch break . I'll try back in a few months read more

I thought this place would be better. Cole slaw was very spicy not cream based. Waitress was not friendly. I thought it would be more homemade, but tasted like frozen prepared food that was put together. Nothing special, and to top it off my friend had a hair on her plate! I would not recommend! read more

I have been going to Peppers N'AT since it opened originally in Swissvale. The food is great and the Italian Beef is unique to Pittsburgh. I love the stuffed banana peppers and the daily specials make you want to go back. A great selection of draft beers makes one think a bit. The patio is a wonderful place to sit with friends and family. My new "clubhouse." read more

Strolling on Braddock Ave I stumbled into the place because as a kid I was always curious to what was inside as it used to be Jimmy's Donuts. The space itself takes a minimalist approach to decorating and it's quite cramped. I'm glad I took my order to go. The staff did mention enclosing the patio soon but until then you might want to stay inside and just feel in the way because I rather be crowded than cold. Now to the food... Their prices are awesome sauce. I got a chicken parm sandwich and a Redd's Apple Ale for a decent price and you get a lot of food. Me and my mom split the sandwich and still didn't eat it all. I love that it was a different take on a chicken parm and it was more of a sub than a sandwich. For the most part the staff is friendly. One of the bartenders seemed frustrated that we were in the way because it was crowded, we had nowhere to stand that was out of the way and I just chalked it up to her being overwhelmed. This place doesn't have much competition when it comes to eateries as Braddock is a bit of a food desert but if it was the middle of the night and I was in the mood for Italian, I would give this place a go. I just couldn't eat it every day. It's good but it's not that darn good. Glad to see some new faces and businesses coming to Braddock. Triangle Bar and Grill though will forever be at the top of my list of the best subs in The Rust Belt. read more

Ordered haluski appetizer, cheese pizza and lemon cake on the Slice app. Was quoted 15-30 before it would be ready for me to pick up. I got there around 8:30 and finally got the order at 8:50. The pizza was ok. I would compare it to Chuck E. Cheese. The haluski was very oily and had way too much salt and pepper. The lemon cake was actually delicious. On a positive note, everyone at the restaurant seemed nice as I waited. I was excited to try it, but I won't be returning. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant. Drink service was very slow. We were fortunate enough to have the better server. Menu selection was poor. Food came out warm. We were greeted by the owner who introduced himself as Bob the owner who then said " don't mind me I have been drinking all day" and trips over the chair. Manager was drinking as well. Very disappointed. Will not be returning. read more

Great bar food, good craft beer selection and entertainment scheduled regularly. I've been here several times with a group and also just stopping by with a couple of friends. read more

We were a table of 8 for brunch. The service was beyond bad, 2 of our party never got their meals. It took almost 1 1/2 hrs for the other 6 to get their food. The server was non-apologetic, she didn't seem to care. Never in my adult life have I ever experienced anything like this in a restaurant. Wake up management this needs to be corrected ASAP. You lost 8 return customers. read more

This place is awesome. I haven't had anything in there that wasn't delicious. I can say that they don't skimp with their portions. The prices are right and you get more food than expected. The people are friendly, the place is clean (and that matters to me) and it's in our Hometown which is wonderful. read more

Fresh homemade soups and you can get a sample its huge homemade potato soup a hit. Lamb burger was scrumptious

Great food, great prices, great service. Friendly owner who is passionate about preparing and serving high quality products. Different specials daily. Nice clean quiet place. I'll be back many times. read more

We had the Perogie pizza, fish sandwich and itailan beef, wedding soup and itailan beef fries everything was excellent. I highly recommend this place prices are low and portions are big. This place always has excellent entertainment and the outdoor patio is a plus. Very family oriented establishment. We had the honor of seeing Aarik Nesby the comedian and the Paul Martino band on this visit. read more

Beer selection is pretty good, but each time I have been here the service was slow which probably made the food cold. Also, it seems like every time we are here they are having some kind of facebook reunion or get together for a local group. I can see maybe once a month, but out of the 6 times we visited, it was the same deal. Much better choices in Homestead. read more

Walked in on a Sunday at 2PM after church. Stood at the doorway for almost 10 minutes and NOT ONE employee approached us to seat us or assist us. Went to the bar and again, NO SERVICE. Very disapointed and won't be back. If you can't take the time to great and welcome new customers I'll go elsewhere to a restaurant the does go that extra mile. read more

Wow! I know this is long but you really should read to the end. I wanted to take my mother out to a nice dinner in the Homestead area without going to the typical chains at the Waterfront. Someone suggested this place. My wife checked the reviews on social media and there were more positive than negative. My wife called to check for daily specials and to make a reservation. She was advised of the "3" daily specials. I was hesitant but I agreed to take a chance. So, we had a reservation. Our reservation was for 6:30 PM, between two different periods of entertainment, one that ended at 5 PM and another beginning at 8:30 PM. We arrived around 6 PM. Upon entering the bar, no one greeted us or asked us if we needed seating and we were looked upon by the apparent "regulars" like we were, well, not regulars in this hometown bar. We found our own way to the patio and there we were greeted by a pleasant server who told us that the entertainment had just finished and they weren't really ready for dinner guests but we could sit where we wanted and someone would be with us. OK, no problem, we sat and we waited, albeit not long, before we were approached by our server. At first our service was a pleasant enough young lady. As we began to ask her questions regarding the specials and other menu items, she was not hesitant to inform us that she had just walked in the door herself and that she was "new" and was not familiar with most of the menu and was not able to answer the majority of our questions, obviously no training required. She did inform us that there really weren't daily specials on the weekends and that the specials quoted to my wife were leftover from the day before and were being served until depleted. OK, we'll live with that. We ordered our drinks and one of the daily specials, the crab stuffed jalapenos. We were lucky enough to learn that, in fact, there was one order left and it was ours. The next time our server visited, we ordered the homemade chips, one of the few items she was familiar with. So far, so good. We ordered our entrees, one of which was a pizza. We received our appetizer, the jalapenos, and they were very tasty, excellent choice. The server then got another table or two and it was all downhill from there. I could go on about how we waited for drink refills or how she dumped the pizza on the floor, hey things happen, or how we were advised they were out of chips, what, no potatoes? But you are bored by now, so I'll skip to this... We flagged down the other server several times and politely complained and asked for her to intervene. Her intervention consisted of telling our server we were waiting. The fallen pizza lay on the floor beside me for a minimum of 15 minutes before an unknown male came to "clean" it up, the toppings however, lay there until we departed. My wife eventually approached someone at the bar, who she did not know at the time is the owner, and told him we were awaiting a box for our pizza and our check. The owner went into the kitchen and returned to tell my wife that, "she'll be out with it." When? Well, she finally returned. We paid at the bar because we did know how long it would be before the server returned to pick up our payment. The long and short of it is, the owner is busy sitting at the bar with his regulars while his employees are fending for themselves as best they can. There is no management, no training, no concern for the optics of the pizza lying on the floor, no apologies, no nothing. Jon Taffer call your office. read more

Food was ok. Wait staff was wonderful. DJ made our experience fun, until he was told by owner to turn the music down. Karaoke was starting, and like all good DJ's would do, he starting off by singing a few songs. He was told once again, by the owner this time, not to sing. What the hell did you hire him for then? I don't think we'll be back. Heard many not so nice things about the owner. read more
