Yay. So much better than Chik Fil A and probably more moral! The chicken tastes like real chicken…read morethat wasn't over-processed. My sandwich was delicious. I highly recommend the spicy mayo. There aren't a ton of options on the menu but what is there tastes really good to me. I'm glad this better fast food option is in my neighborhood. If I'm craving crispy crunchy chicken and a sweet Turners drink, I'd definitely be a regular at this spot. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered for pickup and my order was packaged great and ready to go. It's a chill spot that is laidback and like a diner feel. Well done!

I've seen card board thicker than this sandwich and it probably would taste better too. The lady at…read morethe front desk was probably the worst service I've ever had in my life! Actually made rude comments, looked wacked out and was never at the front desk. So when she also forgot a portion of my order I had to lean inside the kitchen to get everything I paid for. To top it off this "chicken sandwich" was like what 5-10% chicken at best? It's honestly pathetic especially for the price they want to charge I used to enjoy bird on the run However over the past two years it gotten worse and worse every time to the point I will never come here again and advise everyone to stay away...better off going to chic fila where practically a child can deliver a better sandwich and food than this "establishment" also think this is my first negative review I ever left that's how bad it was.

I am a big believer in supporting local businesses. Even when I am home now on visits, I still try to do so. They have a nice organic selection as well. There were other times when I would just come here for lunch because they do an incredible deli sandwich! When you're here it's like you're family! That's just so very Pittsburgh. Go give them your money, get a yummy sandwich. You won't regret it.

I'm regularly coming in for a roast beef sandwich, lettuce, tomato, mayo on rye bread and they make it just the way I ask them because I'm fussy like that. But they smile and they laugh at me when I roll my eyes and tell them that I know I'm difficult. I truly appreciate that they have high-quality fresh produce, excellent meats, pantry staples, a quality selection of crackers and cookies, Bread Works bread, and the best local ice creams. But they also have ready to bake hors d'oeuvres and fancy little tidbits for a last-minute party. I don't know what our neighborhood would do without them.

The Crispy Chicken was delicious, had much more a kick than I was expecting. As did the Corn Chowder. But the flavors were remarkable. The corn chowder had so much going on but was never unpleasant. The two caused a bit of heartburn for me so might keep that in mind if I were to ever try their options that are actually advertised as spicy. Minor gripe - ordered a diet Pepsi that never came. Think that was the food hall and not Elevate though. Happens but still. No Fountain Drink while my mouth is lighting up didn't help.

I had a really bad Nashville chicken sandwich here, the breading slided off, the chicken was soggy…read more There was no crispy chicken to speak of. It didn't taste like Nashville chicken and had chipotle mayo on it. It didn't come with fries though you could pay extra for it, came with a salad. Very expensive for such low quality food that was just totally gross. I wouldn't order from here again. Any fast food restaurant would have been way better than this icky sandwich. Do yourself a favor and skip!

If you go on a Saturday morning while at the Bloomfield market, this place might look a little…read morecrazy! They serve soup (obviously), salads and sandwiches. People seem to go a little crazy for the sandwiches but alas I can't have them since I'm gluten free. They are very good about labeling their offerings so it's easy to figure out what's gluten free, vegan and vegetarian. I got the bean and chorizo soup and took some split pea soup to freeze (it's my favorite soup). The soup came out pipping hot that I had to wait a while before eating it. However it was good, not too spicy. My friend had a the girlfriend sandwich and it looked super yummy. They have limited seating so you might have to get it to go! They have some cute antiques in there, definitely a retro vibe.

Applewood Smoke Burger is a burger counter tucked away inside the back of Park Place Pub in…read moreHighland Park. It's a different menu and different register from park place pub. There's no signage outside for applewood so I consider it an almost burger speakeasy! The service here is pretty fast - we ordered a little after 5pm on a Sunday and got our food and finished it all before 6pm! The burgers we got were so flavorful and delicious and we were are blown away by this hidden gem!! My applewood burger was incredible and the maple sauce was delightful. I'm so glad we discovered this place and I would go back!!

What a cool spot in East Liberty! Margaux has both a cafe portion and a bar in the same location. I…read morecame here when it was later at night, so I didn't get to see the cafe in all its glory. But, from what I had at the bar, I can tell it's a nice spot. I don't drink alcohol, so I just got a mocktail. I can't quite recall what it was called, but I thought it was awesome. It was sparkling and had a nice fruity and herbal flavor to it. Really good mocktail. My buddy got a cocktail and said it was quite good as well. The service is nice, the views are pretty cool if you're sitting by the windows, and the overall vibe of the place is super cool. I would definitely recommend this spot, and would like to come back for small plates or pastries and coffee in the morning!

I know it's more expensive than other coffee shops, but I have to say it's worth it!…read more This space is so pretty and with a great vibe, huge open area with lots of windows and cozy seating. They have a full bar for a boozy brunch, but their classic cafe is great! The spring special tangerine latte was one of the bets over had! The chicken salad toast was also delicious, with a pretty good portion size and some of the best chicken salad honestly had. It's a super great place to hang out, do some work, or read, really love it!

We came here for the Philly Cheesesteak as I had read many reviews. We decided to order a Philly…read moreCheesesteak and an Italian Meats Calzone. I was not a fan of the Philly Cheesesteak, they toast the bread, which was OK, but the meat seemed salty and scarce. I would not order the Cheesesteak again. The Calzone was fantastic, maybe the best Calzone I've had. They put ricotta cheese in the calzone and it was delicious. Service is great and we ate down the street at a brewery. We will be back; definitely a Calzone and, probably, a pizza.

Order your meal and walk down down Two Frays Brewery to get a table and some drinks. Great setup!…read more Their calzones are so delicious! They put ricotta and mozzarella with the meats for their Italian version. I could eat the entire calzone in one sitting. But we also ordered a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. The Philly Cheesesteak is underwhelming. The bread is dry. The meat and cheese tasted reheated and sparse. Was hoping for a fresh sandwich. I would order the calzone again and try a pizza next time. It's the best calzone I've had in decades from many states.
