I am in town visiting and was looking for a place that had Pittsburgh style salads with fries and…read morethis place came up in Yelp, so I ordered 2 of their steak and fries salads with blue cheese for take out. The place is just outside of town. The inside is cute with wood floors and ceiling. Looks kinda like a cabin inside. The staff was really nice and the salads were really good. While I was waiting for my food the bartender said to call in my orders instead of online ordering with door dash because the prices are better. I really appreciated her advice. So much so we ordered takeout again the following evening. We got the Outlaw burger and fries, the Cuban, and some fried pickles. Everything was really good. The Cuban was really big, I could only eat half. My boyfriend said his burger was a little more pink in the middle than he prefers but that it was still good. Next time I'm home visiting him, we will definitely be back. The portions are decent. Prices are a little bit higher than expected but the staff and food make it worth it to me. I know stuff costs more now so with that in mind too, I realize businesses have to adjust. It's worth checking out if you're in the Meadville area.

Everything on the menu is great, the service is wonderful too. You have to try the frog legs !!!read more

We would have been hammered but we waited with empty bottles for 10 minutes between beers.

We had our dog with us so we only planted to get carry out, and then we discovered a shaded patio. We decided to stay and eat outside. I was standing at the host stand for quite a while because I hadn't noticed the seat yourself sign. I had also walked in the restaurant and was looking around for any employee - two servers at a table saw me standing there looking confused but then just went right back into the kitchen. When another guest pointed out the sign, I thought well that's great but if we want to sit outside will they ever know we are there. Someone finally returned to the bar and we were able to get a server. We ended up ordering three appetizers - skoat balls, cheese sticks, peach Burrata. All three good. I also ordered a blueberry mint mocktail beer that was actually quite disappointing. It was also quite a charming little town! Would like to go back again sometime, sadly that is unlikely to ever happen.
