We ordered a strawberry & raspberry smoothie from this establishment...then got yelled at by the worker that they didn't have raspberry- and why can't we read the sign?! Ummmm, sign was not very clear, and had you been nice about it, I could have ordered only strawberry. We were charged for 2 flavors, mentioned it, then the worker- who I assume might have been the owner because she was the older one, starts slamming our cups around asking what size we even ordered. The pretzels beeped, and she went to grab them, then slammed those down too. She ended up wasting our smoothies because machine wasn't working properly...probably because she over loaded blender. Oh- and the fruit smoothies DO NOT contain real fruit!

We also had a blast playing Phase 10 while enjoying our drinks, which made for such a fun and relaxing afternoon. Our server, Hugo (I think that was his name), was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Thanks for recommending the card game. It made our visit even more memorable! If you're looking for great beer, a laid-back atmosphere, and friendly service, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back the next time we're in town!

Try getting one for FREE on your birthday by simply downloading the app. When I went to get my birthday pretzel the man who gave me the pretzel even offered me a little birthday song, what a treat! All the flavors are great but my favorite would have to be the almond with caramel. The crunchy almonds with the soft caramel dip will take you to another dimension. There is also a lot of caramel dip left than you can use with fresh apples when you get home. If I have any reason to be proud of my country it would have to be related to these pretzels, which I am always recommending to my international guests as one of the best things that Pittsburgh has to offer.

The menu sold us - and we had an evening we've been reminiscing about for the past three years. We were able to return this year - with a larger group of friends - and it was worth the wait (though I hope it won't be another three years before I can come back!). I made a reservation for a dozen of us, from around the country, various ages, various palates. We had a nice table set for us, with a WONDERFUL server who could not have been kinder (and shame on me for not remembering her name - Friday the 28th, you were GREAT). The drinks were fantastic and I think we could have stuffed ourselves with apps alone. Every single one of us was both excited to share our dish but also hopeful we'd get the last bite after it made its way 'round the table. Dinners were FANTASTIC. I will be dreaming of my corned beef and cabbage sandwich for weeks and even months. People raved about their herring and their potato-pancake-reuben and their spaetzle and sausages... it's hard to take a large group out to a place and have every person leave incredibly happy *and* wanting to return on our next trip to Pittsburgh. LEAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! It's hard, but it's worth it. This is just such a great-little old-school, neighborhood-restaurant, everything-is-tasty, magical-night-out. Five stars? Yes. Not because it's a Michelin dining, formal, stuffy, dress-up place. But five stars because the food and service is WONDERFUL. Again, pretty fantastic to satisfy a dozen people who will all gladly return next time they're in the city for work. Thank you for taking such good care of our group and for being even better than I remembered. A trip to your restaurant is worth a return trip to Pittsburgh!

Everything we got really hit the spot and my favorites were the beer sampler, stuffed pretzels, käsespätzle, sausages, and schnitzel. We had to finish our meal with a sweet treat and we all enjoyed the black forest cake!

The fried pickle spears are pretty good as well. Potato pancakes weren't bad but not my cup of tea. Couldn't tell you about the reuben balls but the people at the table said they weren't bad. Just weird. The steak spaetzilwas also a hit at the table. I tried a noodle which was like a dumpling and a mushroom. And again not my cup of tea but the table liked it. Lastly. The beer. People seem to love itbut as an ipa guy it was not for me. I had an original which was not too bad. Then the banana ish one which was not my thing. Either way the vibes made up for everything.

It looked amazing. We had, unfortunately, just eaten a huge dinner or would have partaken. The hot chocolates were perfectly creamy, topped with whipped cream, and served in typical insulated styrofoam cups. At $2.50 each, you couldn't beat it. They were cash only when we stopped in. Not sure if that's how they are during regular season. Will def be back in the summer!
