We had heard how great the food is for years and just never made it to Christy's in Ellwood City…read more We can't say that anymore and we agree with everyone. The food is outstanding, service was great. Our food came fast, and our waitress was very efficient. The cost was reasonable and well worth it. Great experience. This place is worth the trip.

Marcy was incredible and honestly, she made the trip worth it. Her recommendations were spot on. We weren't going to order dessert but bc of her, we did and she was right! The food is priced at pretty common prices and you get a full plate. All well made and at the perfect temp. The bus boy was ON IT. He was so very polite and asked before taking things. Nothing unused sat for longer than a few minutes. I almost didn't go but I am very glad I did. I will return and I will be telling friends, family & followers to try this place. The castle aesthetic carries over to the inside. It was definitely a choice lol but it is rather lovely. Not your usual dining experience. Try this place. Edit to add: a group of five of us stopped in for the brunch buffet on Sunday. We made a reservation as the website states any party of five or more should make one. I was apprehensive due to past experiences of brunch buffets. Usually all the food tastes very similar and lacks seasoning. Not the case here. They had such a wide array of options. We had an extremely picky eater and they left full. The vibe was casual with just a touch of sophistication. Really happy we tried the buffet and will absolutely come again.

Shakespeare's is a casual restaurant and pub that is located inside a *CASTLE* at the Olde…read moreStonewall Golf Club. Depending on the season and day of week, Shakespeare's offers brunch, lunch, and dinner. My husband and I ate one dinner here. We felt impressed by the 600 million pounds of boulders outside and the fun medieval-like architecture and interior design of the building (e.g., large doors, vaulted ceiling, oak panels, Spanish swords and shields, and tapestries). The seating hostess and the waitress served us promptly and politely. The dinner menu listed appetizers (e.g., poutine, pretzels, and wings), salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, chicken, steaks, veal, salmon, tuna, cod, crab cakes, pastas, vegetable sides, and some desserts. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Pierogi Flatbread - 4 stars - This flatbread had a wonderful crust, and it was topped with mashed potatoes, onions, and cheddar cheese. French-onion Soup Crock - 5 stars - My husband ate this soup. It had a nicely rich broth and onions and gooey cheese on top. Stuffed Shrimp - 3 stars - I ate this entree from the "moat," and I thought that it tasted just OK. Five large shrimp were stuffed with crab meat and lay on top of polenta. My side was a very fresh house salad. Queen's Prime Rib - 5 stars - My husband ate this entree from the "stockyard." A 10-ounce prime rib was cooked perfectly. My husband described it as "very tender" and "very good." He chose a buttery baked potato for his side. Apple Tart - 5 stars - We shared this dessert of a warm apple tart topped with vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed its sweet flavors. The total price for these five foods plus one soda was $95 *plus* tax, credit-card fee, and tip. My husband enjoyed this meal so much that he recommended that we return sometime to eat brunch.

An Ellwood City favorite, @red.hot.restaurant has been a staple in this town for FIFTY SIXyears!…read moreThe owner, John, has been (and still does) slinging hotdogs, hamburgers and the best fries I've ever had since Nixon was president. When you walk in, you are greeted by one of John's family. According to Nicki, John's daughter, "there are lots of us!"you know that they are a family, because they treat you like family. With old pictures on the wall of special memories and even one of John with Steve Harvey! You can tell that there is love in what they make here. They are gearing towards all farm to table, featuring all of their fresh meats by @meatguyzpa, and you can tell the difference in everything we tried. I loved everything I ate here. Somehow their chili sauce sticks to the fries, and the cheese turns to cheesy goodness in front of you and makes a beautiful dish. The small portion was the size of my head! Their dogs are snappy, burgers have tons of toppings (I'm totally making a chili cheese burger the next time I go) and their chicken cutlet sandwich is off the charts! We also got their new gyros to go; and they were great even 15 minutes later when we got home. Loaded with meat and fillings, you can feel Greek heritage in this one. Happy Eating!

While in the area for a short stay, we wanted to try out Red Hot as it is a proclaimed staple in…read morethe area. Red Hot has a bit of spice to their chili sauce. I wouldn't say it was hot though. The burger I ordered was thin which for the price makes sense. I actually like thin burgers so it didn't bother me in the least. We also ordered chili and cheese fries (we did work out prior to dinner hoping to balance!). The cheese was velveta slices and the fries are on the thicker side so I prefer New Brighton Hot Dog Shoppes chili and cheese fries. They are cash only so be prepared to visit the cash machine near by.

About every five years, I forget how awful this location is and get a meal there…read more Today's meal was awful. Hamburg had almost no chili on it. Burger was so overdone and tough even my dogs would not eat it. Hot dog bun was stale. Kraut was good but too sweet. Chili cheese fries were ok but forgettable. Shoestring fries and a smattering of chili. Cheese was from a can. Best part was the banana milkshake. Super thick, great banana flavor. Hopefully in five years when I forget the food at this location is awful, I will get another banana milkshake.

Prices are spot on and, surprisingly, they have a decent kitchen. I say opt for the hot pepper cheese balls, and the fish sandwich is a nice snack at the bar anytime of day. However, the thing about this spot that sticks with me the most was the conversation between two patrons as we entered the bar: Patron 1: Why I could strangle the life out of you right now. I'd place my hands on your scrawny throat and just squeeze Patron 2: The Hell you say. You couldn't strangle a fly Patron 3: I bet $5 he could...Definitely, if he strangled him from behind Patron 4: You're crazy and you don't even have $5 Patron 1 &2: Hey! That's no way to strangle anyone..You have to do it from the front so's you got leverage....Yeah, don't you know nothing? Patron: Hell, I know I got $5 enough to strangle the lot of you! This went on for several minutes until our bartender, a man obviously experienced in such bar room challenges, put an end to it before there was blood shed. All in all, this was a refreshing change from some of the hipster spots back in VA.

******CASH ONLY********…read more The Oak Grove Inn, located on 488 heading towards Portersville, is a small dive bar with an inviting atmosphere, plenty of TVs, and a great selection of beer. It's a popular spot among locals for catching a game and enjoying some delicious wings. I had heard rave reviews about their wings, so I decided to give them a try for myself. Upon my visit, I was pleased to find that the wings lived up to the hype. I ordered the General Alex, which is a combination of their General Tso's sauce and Lickers sauce (not on the menu, but available upon request). The wings were large, cut wings - not small wing pieces, but not whole wings either. They were perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat inside. The General Alex sauce had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, making for a truly satisfying wing experience. In addition to the General Alex, I also tried their garlic wings. These were equally delicious, with a rich, garlicky flavor that paired well with the crispy exterior of the wings. This location is a smoking establishment so please respect this bars right to do as they please. With that said, this location upon both of my visits had very little to no smoke smell in its haul. Pictured left is the General Alex and pictured right is the garlic wings. They come in 10's and 5's. I enjoy watching Steelers games at this location with their many tv's and their delicious wings from time to time. The atmosphere, beer selection, and wings make it a must-visit spot for anyone in the area.
