    Brazed beef short rib
    Ron L.

    As we entered the Kitchen on Main. We could immediately tell this was a going to be a special evening for dinner. We were seated at a booth near the open kitchen. Cool that we can be entertained watching food being prepared. Our server, Essense, took our drink orders and gave us a couple minutes to peruse the menu. Salads with homemade ranch dressing arrived soon. Our server was terrific at keeping our dinner at a relaxed pace. Soon our entrees arrived. One blackened Mahi-Mahi and one beef short rib. Nice portions for both dinners. We didn't save room for desserts but, we ordered a couple coffee drinks for our ride home. The golden latte and toasted almond chai latte were a great finish during our drive home.

    10/10 will not recommend service was bad food was gross and for it being lunch it was just my party of 3 was there

    Salmon burger
    Michelle S.

    We went after visiting the farmer market. So it was a weekend and pretty busy. The wait staff was overwhelmed but friendly. The wait for food was a little on the long side but well worth the wait. I had the salmon burger and my friend had an appetizer for lunch and we were both filled and took home leftovers. Always so good.

    Han and brie sandwich with sweet potato fries

    Took a trip to Ligonier on a chilly Saturday in May. Wanted to try something local and different stopped in for a light lunch. Shared the ham and Brie sandwich-delicious! Apples added some tart and crunch. Rosemary Paloma and Montepulciano accompanied - also fantastic! Service was good even though they were busy. We were at a 2 top in the middle of traffic and would have preferred a side booth but all was well. Cute little place!

    My wife and I heard good things about the place and decided to make a trip out and catch the ice festival in the same afternoon. Lunch was booked, so we opted for an early dinner. Ambiance: we sat near the kitchen and the place is decorated nicely. Our booth needed maintenance as the vinyl covered seat was missing a sizeable chunk of vinyl (6-8") We knew what the menu offered before we got there, not many gluten free options, but my wife was interested in trying them out. We opted for the bacon smoked cheddar black pepper burger. With no GF bun option, it got corn tortillas. Most of the fries are breaded, but the sweet potato fries were reported as non breaded. My wife got the standard fries. Both types of fries were very tasty. The food arrived hot and in reasonable time. The bacon and smoked cheddar were fine. I ordered mine without the cheddar and I ended sliding it off the cheeseburger that arrived and gave it to my wife. The burgers were juicy in spite of our preference for fully-cooked. One major flaw in the burger was the salt level. The burgers were way more salty than the bacon! My wife wanted to take an ice sculpture home and lick it for refreshment. She consumed a quart of water after getting home 1/2 hour later. Lastly, if you drop a $20 on a burger, I think the portions could use an upgrade. I'm not a huge eater and I was considering ordering a second something. Maybe it was the 2 tortillas not I equating to the standard buttered up brioche bun. Suggestion to the manager: keep a few GF rolls in the freezer and charge $2 more for the hassle. The service was fine and the people were pleasant.

    Breakfast tacos, chai latte, and The Piggy
    Justin N.

    My wife and I came for brunch last year for our first date and returned this year to celebrate. I ordered the breakfast tacos and my wife got The Piggy. The food was excellent as always and I rank Kitchen on Main's breakfast tacos as the best I've had in all my travels! Funny enough, we were seated in the same booth we were in a year prior. The seating is comfortable and the restaurant has a small town, yet upscale vibe. If you've not stopped in you should!

    Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs
    Kristine S.

    Had a lovely brunch with friends at this charming spot. We sat outside and it was a bit warm and the umbrella didn't fully shade us all, but we definitely enjoyed the food and the service. They had delicious mimosas with freshly squeezed OJ and awesome cocktails. The food was fantastic and we especially loved the hummus appetizer. I had the biscuits and gravy, which were good, but a bit dry. I might try one of the other great dishes next time!

    Roasted chicken sandwich
    Trish T.

    Absolutely fantastic lunch here yesterday as we popped in to Ligonier following a visit to Steelers training camp in nearby-ish Latrobe (we wanted to get out of the melee). The parking situation is annoying. There's pretty much nothing in the downtown that isn't metered, and annoyingly - while we thought we were looking at endless old coin-fed meters wondering where the heck we were going to find actual coins (extinct species!), we realized we had to download some app that no one else uses just to pay (??Meter Feeder??). Grrr. Setting that aside - the restaurant was a fabulous find. You enter the "pantry" entrance (this area sells a bit of wine & some odds & ends - but also houses the bar), and we had our choice of bar or main restaurant. We chose the bar. It's open, airy, feels new w/ a kind of farmhouse chic meets industrial aesthetic. The bartender was quite pleasant and quickly got us water with our food not far behind. I got the large SupperClub Salad w/ a 4oz portion of "Wild Isle" salmon. The dish was so flavorful! The sweetness from the roasted golden beets & golden raisins paired nicely with tart shallot vinaigrette & goat cheese, w/ huge, crunch toasted walnuts. YUM! Husband got the roasted chicken sandwich w/ smoked cheddar and crispy onions that looked kind of like very thin onion rings. These are apparently pickled. All of that paired so well with the roasted shallot and truffle aïoli - cut perfectly w/ spicy arugula- all on fresh ciabatta. DOUBLE YUM! I SO wanted a latte from their impressive, gigantic espresso machine, but it was too late for caffeine - sadly. Super impressed with this place. Can't wait to return & try some of their starters - like that cast iron octopus or the eggplant tower - or breakfast! Pancakes, bananas foster pancakes, banana bread French toast, the breakfast bowl...ohlala.

    Maple salmon
    Tim B.

    The best food I had while visiting Ligioner. Came here for breakfast in the morning with my sister. Had the Crab Cake Benedict. It was absolutely delicious. The texture and pairing of flavors between the crab and the Benedict sauce was great. The potatoes were delicious too! When dinner came about, the family was debating where to go. And we unanimously decided to go back to eat dinner here. For dinner I had the Ribeye with mash potatoes. It was delicious (only critique would be it was just a tad too fatty for me). The mash potatoes were perfect consistency and taste. My sister got the mushroom ravioli which I tried a bite of and with the cheese on top, it was exquisite. Dad got the maple salmon and it was perfectly cooked with an amazing flavor. The service was great, very hospitable and the restaurant itself had great ambience.

    Crispy eggplant tower
    Paul L.

    Had an absolutely fabulous evening at Kitchen on Main. It was a beautiful night, so we decided to sit outside on one of their tables on the sidewalk. Every aspect of our meal was delicious. We started with the crispy eggplant tower. It was quite an innovative dish. The eggplant was light and crispy. It went really well with the tomato/balsamic/pesto accompaniment. Next we shared the supper club salad. Also excellent. For our main course we shared the short ribs and the special of the evening, crab Mac and cheese. The short ribs were prepared to perfection and were served with root vegetables. Definitely gave us the feeling of fall. The crab Mac and cheese actually had the flavor of crab! I'm not usually one to comment on this, but I must say their presentation of each dish was spectacular and really made us want to dig in. See my pictures and you'll know what I mean.

After making…read morethe drive between Northern Virginia and Ohio for more than 20 years, we couldn't believe we had never discovered Out of the Fire Café before. Anyone who regularly travels the Pennsylvania Turnpike knows how hard it is to find a truly memorable place to eat. This one is absolutely worth the short detour. The atmosphere is charming, the view is beautiful, and the food exceeded every expectation. We had to try their famous mushroom soup, and even though I'm not normally a mushroom fan, it was hands-down one of the best cups of soup I've ever had. The smoked salmon salad was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon Sandwich special, and every bite was packed with incredible flavor. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made us feel right at home and added to what was already a wonderful dining experience. We finished with the Bananas Foster. While it wasn't the tableside flaming presentation you'd find at a fine-dining restaurant, the flavor was outstanding and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. We'll definitely be making Out of the Fire Café a tradition on our future trips. If you're traveling the Pennsylvania Turnpike, do yourself a favor and make the stop--you won't regret it!

We even had a palate cleansing sorbet between the soup/ salad course and main entree. And to top it all off "Irma Cake" for dessert. If you've never tried these cakes, you are missing something wonderful. Carrot cake, coconut cake and red velvet were all delicious!. Our servers were very good and they provided us with a private space in the main dining room with a partition. So even though the restaurant was packed, we had our own private space for our dinner party.
