I had a pretty disappointing experience here. We ordered appetizers, but they didn't come out until the same time as our entrees, which kind of defeats the purpose. My daughter and I both ordered fried chicken sandwiches, and unfortunately, both were seriously overcooked--like "bottom of the fryer" overdone. The chicken only covered about half the bun and quickly became inedible. We actually had to swap sandwiches just to see if one was any better, but neither improved. Between the two of us, we could only get through about half of one and maybe a third of the other before it just wasn't worth trying to eat anymore. I mentioned it to our waitress in a calm, straightforward way and told her both sandwiches were inedible. She did offer to have them remade, but after seeing what came out the first time, we declined. I don't recall receiving an apology, which was disappointing. What really stood out was that the issue was never addressed beyond that--no follow-up, no adjustment to the bill, nothing. I didn't ask for anything to be taken off, but when a significant portion of the meal can't be eaten, you'd expect some effort to make it right. Coming from someone who works in customer service, this felt like a miss on both food quality and basic service recovery. I wouldn't recommend the chicken sandwich, and I'd be cautious about expecting attentive service here. read more

I'm never disappointed when I go to the Getaway for lunch. I got my go to sandwich the Turkey Club. During lunch on weekdays they gave certain lunch special sandwiches which are $9.99 that come with either seasoned fries-yummy, a salad or soup. The portions are big so I also have dinner this evening. Our waitress was excellent! She is a gem. She's a people person who gives excellent service. I love the new look of the Getaway. It's totally remodeled and looks inviting. I'll be back! read more

Stevi is the best waitress! She takes great care of us on Tuesday Trivia night. Always knows our drink order and keeps them coming all night. read more

Went to the Getaway Bar for the first time around 5pm on a Tuesday. It was empty! I was shocked. When you walk in, there is an area to the left to get beers to go. The restaurant is on the right. We seated ourselves and the staff came over immediately. They were so friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu items. I ordered the Big Sky Burger well done. It was DELICIOUS! I would definitely order that again. My friend ordered the wontons and said they were really good. By the time we left after 7, the place was starting to fill up. They had a big parking lot so no issues with parking. I cant wait to come back and try more items from the menu! read more

Stopped in for happy hour with a friend on a Friday. The spot is great. We ordered appetizers as they are half off for happy hour, and they came out of the kitchen before we knew it. It's nice that their drinks are also half off for happy hour. I tried the pretzels, Cuban egg rolls, nachos, Texas fries, spinach, and mushroom quesadilla, and topped it off with a fat heads beer. I wasn't a huge fan of the quesadilla, there wasn't a lot of cheese and just giant hunks of mushrooms, but it was still ok. The service was great, the waitress came around often to make sure we were still doing OK. I would definitely come back here. Happy eating! read more

Went for the first time recently after driving by for years. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was inside. Ordered wings and burgers and both were amazing! read more

A hallmark of consistency, I highly recommend checking this place out. They have some great events (stand up, karaoke, classics bingo) throughout the week. The quality and quanity of food for the price is just about impossible to beat and it's always served hot and fresh. The staff is always friendly and able to handle the dinner rush. Look forward to my next opportunity at some new stand up material! read more

Great local watering hole! Delicious burgers! Enjoy sitting at the bar. Just dropped a lent menu && events weekly! Check out bar bingo. read more

Local watering hole alert! We moved to the area in March... I think we have eaten at the Getaway 5 or 6 times in the last couple of months, and we will continue to eat there. For meal the BBQ boneless wings hit the spot when I have the craving and for me lady the veg head, Mac and cheese pay extra for the pretzel stick - hits the spot every time. Bar atmosphere many a TV to watch the Steelers, pirates, pens. Servers do a great job I mean everything you can ask for in a local watering hole. read more

Ok first gotta say wasn't crazy about going here pretty loud and busy, however our server was a pleasant surprise, she was friendly knowledgeable and fast, we ordered food and drinks, first thing I noticed was the place was pretty big but clean, food was good and hot. Ordered a salad it was fresh vibrant colors and tasted as good as it was presented, next was the Wings probably some of the best in the South Hills, the burger was a lil over cooked to my liking however fresh beef, the management was on the floor and on point, drinks were good and our bartender was very nice the place is very welcoming and clean! Would definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely wonderful. Been here twice and had the greatest food and service both times. This time had the gobbler... which is a seasonal menu item. Home run. This thing was perfect. Also had Mac & cheese... chili... and boneless wings. Everything was great. Earl was a fantastic bartender... spot on. We will definitely return soon read more

This restaurant used to be owned by a couple of my friends, but they're no longer the owner and since I was gone for 35 years, I haven't been back yet to see if it's still the same as it used to be, which had excellent food and service. When I get a chance to go there I will definitely put in a review. I will currently give it a five star based on my previous experience. We even had my son's rehearsal party there. read more

I really enjoy the wings here and it is your typical dive bar with great vibes! The service is fun and personable. My go to when I want to wear some sweats and jay not a drink with friends read more

Less bar and grill and more just bar. Food was good back in 2010s, but now you're better off making burgers at home. The service is slow, even with a practically empty restaurant. Everything is extremely bright, almost mimicking a hospital. LED lights everywhere. Will not return, and definitely don't recommend. read more

The best BLT is the one from the Getaway Bar And Grill I enjoy the food the menu concept is genius the owners and staff are great people one of my go to spots read more

Good food and prices. Was disappointed that they no longer serve baked wings. I still enjoyed myself though.

I don't have an option for less than 1 star. I have been visiting this bar for over 6 years back when Chdid had a 6 pack shop in the plaza next to amels. TRACiE the bartender is great : Chad kicked a friend of mine cause she complained about a sandy that was sub par . he completed degraded her in the presence of the entire bar / te. told her not to come back he would cover the sandwich for $13 that had barley any tomato on etc : (captese sandwich) . I kept my mouth shut because I knew chad and I like their selection of beer : didn't speak up god forbbid he would kick me out too. I no longer live In that area: but I have a dog walking business and have customers near : I stopped today .. ordered a smash burger for lunch (FYI Reds have the best in that area) today the bartender April was kinda short with me : it was odd she pol interacted with all the guests at bar and dining, spend a lot of time with oma guy chatting about Geramy . and hr was going: I had to ask Greg one of the other owners for a menu. she hardly greeted me said miller light right? I said not in a IPA girl. after I got the lucnch menu I haf to ask her that I wanted to order : hey i was happy to get a beer : finally I got to order she NEVE checked back or ask how my was food? I had an empty glass that sat at the bar and she grabbed if filled up with a beer . didn't ask if I wanted one just assumed .i can say yes I wanted another . I ate a few fries didn't touch my burger , nevet asked me anything . I had to ask for a to go container and the check . she was nice to everyone else but me complained to other customers how she diddnt get to eat funny was eating on the side while she was working . the worst experience I have ever had there beside the embarrassment the day he kicked my friend out. I tip well! the last time i was there I played the machine won like $100 left her specifically $20 ha ha u know how grateful she was? if I dony get kicked out after this review ( not a big deal a lot of great placea near me like spoonwood and chimera : i that are great to me .I will misss Tracie she is great! but why shouLd I support a place that seems not to care about a customer .... FYi my friend and her husband are great tippers! but if the food is sub par for the $ they will speak up! as business owner u should be humble receiving feedback not say " u complain all the time don't come back" one word WOW read more

One of my favorite places! Food and staff are great. Whether it's lunch or dinner, the staff is attentive, and the beer selection is regularly changed. read more

Drove 20 minutes to try the burgers here because I had read good reviews. I was not disappointed. My wife and I split the Big Sky and French Onion burgers, and they were great. We requested medium, and they were cooked perfectly. Good size and very juicy, with a nice chargrilled flavor. We tried both the regular fries and the quite unique scoop fries. Both were really good. This place looks like an old bar at the end of a small strip mall, which might steer some people away, but it's very clean inside and has a fresh and open feel, split between a bar area (with high-top tables) and restaurant area (with tables and booths). Our waitress was very sweet and as attentive as possible but was the only person covering the bar and restaurant during lunch. Not a major issue though. My understanding is that establishment is around 60 years old, but new ownership took over post-COVID and revamped things. The menu is awesome. I can't wait to go back! read more

The happy hour from3-5 was made for the teachers from the surrounding school district that go there. How about a longer one for other people who don't get done till 5. Maybe business would pick up if you don't cater read more

Friday night dinner with friends. It was packed and I know why. The beer was cold, the food was tasty, and the service was solid. Saw lots of people I know--obviously, it's where the cool kids hang out. read more

The food was delicious and fresh. The service was nice and friendly. A great neighborhood restaurant. Good atmosphere.

Was always a decent place for years under previous owners. Service was generally good as was the food. Since new owners have come in something is different, but it's not impressive nor different. I don't visit much now. read more

Nothing like the old getaway. Food was terrible. Most things on menu are spicy. I hate spicy. Wish they would have changed the name.

Can't do anything but love this place. Wide hours, cheap and well made drinks, and bar food that FAR exceeds expectations. Definitely missing out if you're in this corner of the county and don't stop in. Personal suggestions: The wontons, anything with french fries, and the fried chicken. read more

I love this place, i drive 45 mins friday nights for the bar trivia which is alot of fun, great kind servers, and the owner/chef seems nice... I've always had great service and i like the changing specialty beer menu. I've had the fish before during lent it was fantastic. I've recently had the po boy and it was pretty meh... the shrimp isn't that good and there isn't enough/ more so it's very small shrimp, then again I'm spoiled because the po boys down in New Orleans are incomparable. The wings are pretty good a tad pricey but that's wings everywhere in Joe Bidens America haha, but seriously they are tasty they have fried and smoked. The Texas fries are amazing they have a bbq sauce and brisket and beer cheese, they are not ur average fries, they are a combination of like a potato wedge and a hand cut French fry they are very unique but excellent, prob my fav place to get fries!!! The pretzel sticks, Cuban wontons and cheese curds are all excellent. The chicken sandwich is good standard sandwich at a bar but it's good that's not downplaying it... The Pittsburgh steak melt is excellent ask for extra sauce tho.. The French onion dog is amazing also just prepare for heartburn... Chili is good Mac and cheese is good Overall this is a great bar with excellent food and nice people all around i will keep coming back. Try the waitress tip the veal I'll be here all night!!! read more

We had a wake there for a party of 25-30 people. Not only was the food fantastic but Chad who helped us book everything was very sympathetic to our situation, which when going thru a tough time, means a lot. The food was fantastic, everyone raved about it and our designated server was top notch. No one ever had an empty glass. So when needing somewhere for a get together, highly recommend. read more

i would have only given this 2 stars, save the texas fries & our waitress lauren. in it's day, way back when lou & nancy owned it, this place was the place to be in the s. hills. always full, reservations needed, excellant food & menu, didn't skimp on the wine by getting "jug" wine. it has never made it back to that point with any of the owners since. they took the big dining room, & filled it with aisles of beer. it's also the way to the outdoor dining area, walking through the beer. for some reason there's also some picnic tables in with the beer as well. odd. they took down some walls, added a stone facade on the bar, got some new bar stools. BUT what they, & the previous owners STILL haven't done, is to get rid of the booth that is older than most of them. the same rips in the seat, MORE dirt ground into the material. wash it, reupholster it, or get rid of it! the wine. i get we're at a bar & there's not a huge demand for it. but, if you're gonna serve it, make sure it's still good & not turned. buy the smaller bottles so you don't have to waste as much, but there is nothing worse than turned wine. luckily for us, our 1st glasses were the end of that bottle, so they next ones we drank were much better. also, HUGE pet peeve!!! don't give me a dirty glass with lipstick on it that i don't wear! or want to wear! ugh! poor tom took the dirty glass cuz he didn't want to say anything. so, we got 5 things to try-the shanghai bang bang shrimp, caribbean jerk lettuce wrap with shrimp, texas fries, & a classic pepperoni pizza. we started with the fries. as i said to start with, these things are excellant! fries topped with beer cheese, brisket, shredded jack cheese, bbq sauce, jalapenos 7 green onion. huge portion! could have been a meal for 1. the shanghai shrimp was over breaded. the 3 lettuce wraps could have been 1 cuz the lettuce was big, & the filling was scarce. the baja sauce was a little heavy, made my eyes water. the pizza was your basic. eh, take or leave it. the menu itself is scaled down, only so many choices. they were busy, but not crazy busy. would i go back? uh, maybe, later, much later. would i recommend it? no. except if you go for those texas fries! read more
