I'm going to be honest, I have drove past this unassuming building in Johnstown for years without…read moreeven knowing it wasn't deserted, but that it was diamond in the rough. In this part of Johnstown, it definitely is a rough area. Parking is either on street or across the street in a gravel parking lot beneath a billboard. If you do park in that lot, do be carful crossing the street as it can be a busy one. Plus there is a slight curve that a driver might not see you while your rush across the street. Once inside you can tell that it lives up to the bar and grill in its name. It has this look inside that gives off this 80s dining vibe. One that calls back to those eateries once found in the mall. You know, those ones where it's almost too dark to see yourself let alone the menu. One where it is very dark wood, heavy on the brick, and all things that make you feel like your in and old time inn. Once settled at a table, we had our menus in hand and were given some time to look them over. Our server came back, took our drink orders and left us for a few more minutes to finalize our decisions considering the menu. Once we decided orders were place and we just waited for our food to come out. It gave us time to look around the place and take in our surroundings. When we first got here, there weren't many people. As we ordered, there were more and more customers that came in. Filling up the tables and making it feel warmer. We were in the midst of conversation and our food came out. I ordered the Franklin Street Bar & Grill Famous Meatloaf. This comes with a slice of the thickest homemade meatloaf I have ever seen. Plopped on top of a pile of mashed potatoes then topped with fried onion rings and smothered in brown gravy. This thing, even though not exactly as described and pictured, was delicious. Not sure if it is fame worthy as I have never heard of it, but hey, I will make sure to remember this when in the area again. To note, entrees are served with your choice of soup, salad, or applesauce, and comes with a homemade dinner roll. The service here is stellar. They all go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and their memory is like a vice grip. One thing you do need to keep on your toes about here, watch your step. With the dimness and small step ups, it would be easy to trip. They do have signs everywhere, but they can be hard to spot if you aren't aware of your surroundings.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We sat at the bar for quite a while before…read moreanyone acknowledged or greeted us, even though the restaurant was not busy at the time. While we were eating, several staff members were having loud and inappropriate conversations with each around the bar area, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable and unprofessional. The most concerning issue was with the food allergy handling. A friend in our group has celiac and clearly informed the waitress that he needed gluten-free food. He was told that both the wings and fries were gluten free, but after eating, he became severely sick, indicating there was likely gluten contamination or misinformation about the menu items. For someone with celiac, this is a serious health issue and should be treated with much greater care and attention. Overall, the service, professionalism, and allergy awareness were far below expectations. I hope the restaurant takes these concerns seriously and improves staff training and food safety practices moving forward.

The drink was pretty good, and I started to feel like we were on vacation. Then my plate arrived... wow!!! First, they gave me a LOT, so I got two full meals out of one. Second, the cheesy grits were done well - not everyone knows how to make them. Third, I did not expect sausage slices on this thing - andouille? It was amazing. The flavors blended expertly, and I was a happy camper. (I had to pick off the peppers, but it's not their fault that I get heartburn.) The shrimp blended with all the other flavors and I couldn't stop smiling! Our server was great, and our loft table was good, too. Overall - great times!!

I will add, while the bathroom decor is really nice, the sink might be difficult for people with arthritis in the wrists or are wheelchair bound. This is quite literally the only negative thing I have to say about this establishment.

We stopped for lunch at a place that was a regular fir the 6 months that I lived in Johnstown, PA. The Haven sits across the street from the old Atlantic Broadband call center in Southmont and is known for their gargantuan sandwiches, like their rueben that's as big as a takeout box. But you know what we were there for... Brrrrgrrrs! I got the Bacon bluecheese swiss burger and Dana ordered up the carolina burger (hold the carolina - meaning no bbq sauce or cheese) but with double coleslaw. The Haven gets it right! Just like I remember! The burger patties are seasoned and cooked just right, laying on the perfectly soft bun. the blue cheese "sauce" on mine mixes with the swiss cheese to make the most interestingly awesome bitter and stinky mix then picked up by the smokey crisp bacon. The only description i got from Dana was "YUM!" another winner of a burger place!
