I'm still thinking about those horseradish mashed potatoes and that Bridge BBQ... I swear I almost licked the plate. Normally I'm the designated food photographer, but the hangry hit hard and everything disappeared before I even thought about my camera. Highly recommend. This place is definitely joining our family rotation.

The bread was disappointing, and the overall sandwich was lacking in flavor and quality. The wings and soup were okay, but the Reuben was a major letdown.

Years ago I loved Sirena's pizza at Bon Aire shopping center I would get it every Friday for my Four boys and myself. Now I see the Sirena's pizza in Kittanning is still open so I am going there next to try it out. So I would rate this diamond Joe's an 8 out of ten. It's mostly about the crust people.

Both offer sandwiches, soups, salads, and coffee/tea drinks, this spot also has crepes. I came here because it seemed like the faster option of the two. I grabbed a few drinks to go, they were okay. I was a little surprised that their lattes seem to come with oat milk by default? Thankfully they were able to accommodate me with another option. At the register they had a separate paper menu with additional options that aren't online. My drink was just okay, but they seem to be more known for their food, specifically their sandwiches. I intended to grab something small but the pastry case was empty even though it was still pretty early. The space was a little on the sterile side with a brown and gray color scheme and florescent lighting but I did like the flowers used as decor in the space, and apparently their tables are custom made by a local carpenter!

Bonus is a full grist house tap room and great indoor and outdoor seating. The service on both the food and tap room was friendly and quick. The set up is kind of like a food hall but with one food option. Order food, get a buzzer, have a beer, then pick up your food when buzzed (no pun intended). Anyway, this is a great option for fresh quality sandwiches and fresh quality beer. Plus you can walk 25 yards to the freedom farm market for seasonal goods and fantastic local provisions. Jump in the car on a beautiful Saturday and take a drive to Butler and freedom farms. There's also plenty of other country market, food and fun in the surrounding area.
