    Beverage bar from the perspective of tables in the back.
    Diane C.

    This was a disappointing restaurant experience. We really enjoy The Kitchen on Main in Ligonier. Hard to believe these two restaurants are related. Clearly the manager in Murrysville has no fine dining experience. Every table pays the same price and should have the same experience. The unfortunate ones, like us, who were seated at the rear of the restaurant might as well have been eating in a storage closet. The coffee was good. The crabby benedict was very good. The potatoes were loaded with salty seasoning, too much. The service was average. Suggest the manager clean all the crap off the counter so patrons can sit there and enjoy a meal watching the chefs in action, just like they do in Ligonier. If the chefs don't want eyes on them then clean the counter anyway and remove the chairs so you aren't pretending to be like Ligonier. Suggest you remove the tables in the back or build barriers so your patrons aren't sitting in a kitchen hallway. Also, tried to make a reservation but the online system did not work and the phone was busy. Also, we chose not to drink the water because it was served in dirty glasses that had been left on the table after the last customers left, lip down on the table surface. Might as well have sucked on the rag.

    Breakfast Sandwich*
    Lynn K.

    We headed in for brunch in a Sunday. Everything was really tasty. I LOVED my breakfast sandwich with a side of potatoes. Service was attentive and efficient. (Florentina was great!). It was a little pricey but good. My only complaint was that it was a bit noisy and difficult to carry on a conversation. Will definitely go back.

    If you're looking to eat a large portion, fresh cooked, unique breakfast, this is the place for you. I've been coming here with my family for breakfast on the weekends for just over a year, and we have yet to have a bad meal. They have a great selection of coffee and tea, along with a breakfast drink menu (the orange creamsicle is amazing). Every menu item I have tried has not disappointed. Service is pretty fast, but get in early to grab a table, because they usually fill up by 9:30a. Ambiance is nice, but the location of the restrooms is a little odd and should be covered by a wall.

    My group was all early and we were able to get a table on a very busy Sunday. The overall atmosphere was very energizing. Our server was friendly and helpful with any order changes. Our drinks came out quickly. The food was a much longer wait. My breakfast sandwich was delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their meals including the crabby 18 and the kitchen tacos.

    Delicious brunch spent at The Kitchen! The breakfast tacos & the banana pancakes were fantastic. Great seasonal menu of drinks. Good service, nice restaurant overall!

    Greek Salad with added Salmon
    Linda S.

    One of the best restaurants in Murrysville. The menu has retained some favorites, like Eggs Benedict but has added new items like a Spanish Grilled Octopus to the menu. Today I met friends for lunch. We called ahead and they had a table for 6 ready for us. They don't take reservations for lunch but will take your name if there is a wait, so call ahead an hour or so before heading over. I had the Greek Salad with a 4 oz. Grilled salmon added to it. You can choose 4 or 8 ounce addition to the salads and with Salmon, also choose the doneness. It was really delicious. It's served with two containers of dressing on the side, which is nice, because I only used one and it was enough to nicely coat my salad. My friends had the Eggs Benedict. They always order that! The restaurant is not overly decorated. Tasteful, but not too much stuff to look at. It's clean and it has an open kitchen which if you're facing it, can watch the cooking going on right in front of you. That's kind of interesting to watch! Right off of US Route 22 East, it's easy in and out and definitely is one of my favorites in the area.

    Sweet potato fries

    Nice spot that's reasonably close to Monroeville but a ways away from the city. One of the few restaurants I've ever visited in Murrysville. They focus on breakfast and lunch. I got to try out their roasted chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for lunch. Unfortunately, it was pretty underwhelming. The chicken itself was quite good. It was seasoned well and still juicy. The bread was also solid. But, they included far too many onions, and those onions were not crispy. That blocked most of the other flavor. The arugula works well with the sauce, but does make it a bit more bitter than most chicken sandwiches. Overall, I'd probably not get it again. The sweet potato fries were equally underwhelming. Almost no seasoning on there at all. Limp and soggy. No salt to combat the sweetness. Not my style. All in all, I'd probably not be back again. There are better spots to get breakfast or lunch in the area. If I come back, I'd try something other than the chicken sandwich.

    Samoa Chai Latte
    Chelsea C.

    I very much enjoyed driving out to try Kitchen On Penn with a friend for Sunday brunch! BUT MAKE A RESERVATION! I heard them telling people there was an hour+ wait with no reservation. I started with the Samoa Chai Latte and omg it was incredible. I loved their specialty coffee/tea menu. My friend and I also both got the Breakfast Bowl which was very tasty! The meats were very fresh - you can tell the difference between a diner breakfast and this, although both hit the spot! It was filling and I even had some leftover. And don't even get me started on the jam with the toast! The space is a bit crowded and there isn't much barrier between tables, but not a deal breaker. Overall it was an enjoyable brunch spot that I'd love to return to.

    The Kitchen turned out to be a good spot for us to stop for lunch after kids hockey. The hostess wasn't the most welcoming which seems like a big fail but perhaps it was just a bad day. The poor welcome and wait experience was eventually replaced by some amazing food experiences. Everyone seemed pretty happy with their choice which included my kids. They have an awesome adult version of a grilled cheese and their salmon burger was outstanding. The breakfast bowl looked amazing as well. The restaurant layout seems a bit busy but it flows well enough. The food was good enough to warrant repeat visits. Hopefully the arrival is more welcoming next time.

Got a Pinot noir wine and waters Starter=soup of the day: tomato w/ chickpea and chorizo- bold tomato flavor and lots of arugula in it. Not so much chorio but flavor was very good, not overly salty. 10/10 After the soup we put our nit-picking goggles on as we knew this was a pretty sophisticated meal. Daily special- pan seared mahi mahi with asparagus fennel kohlabi and arugula salad citrus buerre Blanc. Light citrus flavor is found thru the mahi mahi, its sauce and the salad. Very congruent. Asparagus was a neutral addition. Not flowing with or against the mahi. Fish was cooked well. Just lots of raw red onion on the salad was a little overpowering. 7/10 Red wine braised short rib- didn't ask how well done, so seems chefs choice. We have a preference towards med rare. This was cooked well done making it a tad tough-stringy. Mashed potatoes with some larger pieces of potato, but very neutral plain flavor, great with the beef sauce. Carrots cooked well, just neutral, natural flavor. Overall a very classic flavor combo that works.7/10. Would stop by again to try more dishes. Ps- when paying we noticed final bill to sign was more than first bill at table. When we asked why the difference we were told it's the credit card fee of $3. This was really the first time I've seen this at a restaurant, yet alone at a decent place like one. Would have been best for them to tell us this upfront.

They aim to make a memorable experience with clever marketing, current food trends, and very customizable items. This location is even cooler as it pays homage to the once Blue Spruce Motel that was demolished for the current shopping mall. The wall has a cool graphic with the callout and the fits perfectly into the decor. Only downfall is the online ordering pickup. I get it... every restaurant wants to find a way to minimally impact their employees with fulfilling orders for takeout. But sending customers to the bar and forcing them to flag down the bartender... it's just not right. Designate a counter spot, add signage, or bring the bags to the front desk... For a company up on everything, this location should reconsider how they serve takeout orders. Still the food was phenomenal... We split a Sonoma Chopped Chicken Salad. Burgatory salads are HUGE! And the ingredients are always super fresh... I mean look at how perfect the avocado is! We tried the wings and... wow! The skin was so perfectly crisp and the seasoning was just spot on with spice and flavor. We tried the onion rings... and well... you can't win them all. The batter was soggy and way too thick. Not sure even the perfect cook could've crisped and fully cooked the batter. We won't be doing these again.
