    Cuban Sandwich
    John F.

    Really good spot for sandwiches. Service was great, as well. My Cuban was tasty but there was not much pork for the amount of bread. The flavor was very good, especially with the pickles and mustard. I got a side of broccolini, and that had very good flavor and heat. However it was a tiny portion. I was charged extra for very little food. I enjoyed my time here but would not hurry back. For a gastro pub vibe, the menu leaves some to be desired, but I won't say the food wasn't tasty. I enjoyed each bite.

    Porchetta and fries

    A nice switch of pace. I came for lunch definitely reccomend for food but I don't reccomend if you have to go back to work. These drinks are full proof. They have a very nice range of shine. The patio is versatile able to open and close as need we d. It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside. Service was swift . The chilli was hearty and seasoned well

    Nice bar with cool outdoor patio. Staff was attentive and friendly and provided great service. The food was fair. It was elevated bar food. It had nice presentation but fell short on flavor.

    Chicken Soup of the Day - Chicken & Poblano Pepper
    Tamara G.

    Stopped in today for the first time in probably 8 months. I was there shortly after opening at 11:30 AM on a Tuesday. I sat at the bar, the folks next to me had the chicken poblano soup and raved about it so I decided that I would have to order that and I must say it probably is the best soup I've had in a while. I wouldn't normally order soup on a 90° day! I had their double smash burger with sweet potato tots and everything was cooked well and the sweet potato tots were very good. I had a cold hazy IPA, and I paid by QR code so everything went smoothly. They do have lunch specials where you can get soup or salad and a half a sandwich for a special deal.

    Pomegranate gin cocktail with Prosecco
    Brandywyne D.

    Hipster Texas Roadhouse is the best way to describe this place. But at least the fries come with your burgers. I ordered a pomegranate gin cocktail with Prosecco which was delicious. My husband and I split the hush puppies that had an amazing butter. We both had burgers that were really good but a little messy. I only left off a star due to the fries tasting like old oil and service was a little slow. Overall a great time though and lots of beer options.

    Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich
    Tim H.

    Overall really nice experience here at the thorn hill. I got the buttermilk chicken sandwich and was told it was a step above Chick Fil A. I enjoyed it throughly! The sweet potato fries came out hot and fresh. The beer selection is great, seems like they have options for everyone. Our waitress was attentive and did a great job getting me what I needed. The atmosphere of the place is cool, lots of decor that has a rustic feel. Clean and a great place to host a group of people.

    The service was so friendly. Our waitress thanked us for our patience a few times, but none of us thought the service was slow. All good. The menu had some really interesting selections. The food was very good, tho I wish I'd gotten the cauliflower instead - it looked really good. The fries were okay. Not soggy, but also not warm. I was served a frosted glass with my cider, which was a very nice touch - especially since I would have chosen a different drink if I'd realized the seasonal choices were not on draught. I liked the vibe of the restaurant and how open it was with the garage doors open everywhere. If you want a total indoor feel, you can't really get that on a nice day, but we were cool with that. It was nice when we were there. The only bummer gif me was that the Cuban sandwich ciuidvf be modified in any way. I love Cubans, but hate Swiss cheese. This probably means it wouldn't be as fresh as what I chose, but I still would have liked to try it with another cheese. The broccoli in my sandwich wasn't cut up quite enough, but was still good & so was the flavor. The ciabatta bread was delicious. It made it a bit difficult to eat, since it was so big. Large portions and good food & service in a great location. We'll definitely be back.

    Full disclosure...I luv this place and their menu. But tonight, the service was off and the food missed the mark. I had never had their wings before tonite....and I won't ever again. Who doesn't shake their wings in the sauce? These were fried and then served with sauce on the side....i didn't think I went to KFC! The bacon appetizer and hush puppies were good...but that honey butter that was served with the hush puppies was like crisco in a cup. You couldn't dunk ur puppy in it. Better to warm it up or serve hot honey. The chicken finger app was great as always...great breading and juicy. To be clear, I don't fault our server...I think the delay was in the kitchen. The place was not that crowded...and there was no one at the bar, so the bartender could have helped deliver drinks instead of phone surfing.

    Bunch o pups
    Jason F.

    I stopped by here this past Friday with my wife and twins for dinner. One of my fellow Yelp elites had called the Thorn Hill Taphouse burger the best in Pittsburgh and so I was happy my family finally a time to come here. Since my twins are still young, my wife and I opted for the to go route and placed our order for a 5:30 pickup through their website. The restaurant itself is located right off the Wexford exit of 79 and so is very easy to get to. Whenever we arrived there at shortly after 5:30 PM, I found my food sitting there and ready and so I can't really comment about the inside except for the hostess station. For dinner on this evening I went with the pimento burger and chose the beef burger with no tomato while my wife went with the BBQ Bacon Burger and also chose the beef burger. Then we also ordered a Bunch 'o Pups to share between our whole family. The menu described my burger as pimento cheese spread, brown sugar bacon, herb mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion while my wife's was described as brown sugar bacon, hickory BBQ, lettuce, tomato, haystack onions, mayo, cheddar and the hushpuppies had no description. The first item that I ate on the way home was the hush puppy. It was fried nicely and had a crispy exterior with the gritty cornmeal type interior that you expect from it. Overall it was quite good, especially when dipped in the honey butter and my favorite part was the surprising lingering heat that it left on your palette. Then one we got home I was able to tuck into my burger. My burger itself was good as it was flavorful and juicy. The bun was toasted which meant it stood up the the Mayo and other wetness and I enjoyed the saltiness of the bacon, even if I didn't taste the brown sugar on it. What was disappointing on my burger was the pimento cheese spread. For me it was lost and didn't really add anything to the burger which is a shame as that is why I had ordered it. Still, the burger was good and I would like to try a different one. The burgers themselves came with fresh cut fries which my wife, kids and I all really enjoyed. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. While I was a bit disappointed in the pimento cheese portion of my burger, the rest of it and everything else that we ate was pretty stellar.

My favorites were: 1) the char-grilled octopus - so tender 2) chicken souvlaki - the roasted veggies were so good with the smokiness of the chicken! 3) the salmon on top of the Elia salad - it was cooked to perfection. Juicy and flaky! Our server was the one who recommended the Elia Salad with salmon on top with the Champgane Vinaigrette. But, we went with the Greek dressing... I think we would have liked her recommendation more because the combo of salmon and salad was spot on! She definitely knew what she was doing and what tastes good! We sat in the indoor patio-like area and it was very bright with natural light and I love the exposed wood deco inside. It feels rustic and classy at the same time.

For dinner I had the Shrimp Sunrise which is shrimp, rice, and feta. Tails present well but trying to eat are a little messy. The other diner had the seafood medley with mussels, shrimp, etc. over pasta. Both meals were large portions and we took half home. Suprised by number of food options. Will be back to try other offerings.

Everyone was satisfied about the meal. It was quite pricey, which was expected when we walked in because of the ambiance. So why only 3 stars? I live in Las Vegas and my guy lives in this area (long distance). Well, we were with friends that my guy hadn't spent time with in a while, and this was my first time meeting them. Nice double date! 3 out of 4 of us got multiple drinks and we were enjoying our dinner. We got dessert too. The manager checked on us once. We probably stayed about 20ish minutes after desert while talking and finishing drinks. We got up and used the restroom, and saw the mgr in there. We heard her say that our table "finally decided to leave." Very unprofessional when you are sharing the same restroom as customers to then be talking about them. I'd say the same thing had she not been talking about us but another table. I have 20+ years in the hospitality industry and that rubbed me the wrong way. Food wasn't good enough to come back, so this is a place that relies on ambience and service, which we'd come back for if the service were great...be hospitable. The server was knowledgeable and kind; it's too bad the manager couldn't keep her thoughts about well paying, well tipping customers to an area where customers couldn't overhear.

And here is a suggestion, when a diner does not eat most of their protein, do not ask if they want it taken off their bill. That is just plain embarrassing if you are in a group. A server should be trained to simply remove the item from the bill. BTW, I told her not to remove it because I had eaten my salad and some potatoes. We have been coming here for 10 years but am not sure when we will be going back.
