The other dinner was the Steak Gorgonzola and it was very good. The fried zucchini was excellent. My only issues were, the prices are a little high for the area and our drinks were weak. I did witness a customer come in, sit down, ordered a beverage and review the menu and decided to leave. I wasn't trying to ease drop, but heard him advise the prices were to much for him.

It had a quaint yet stylish atmosphere that made it a pleasure to dine there. The owner, a former school teacher, carried that theme throughout the restaurant, giving it a warm and welcoming character. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're in the area or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping in. And to top it all off, I had one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had!

I liked this place. It was equal parts ordinary and different. Located in a strip plaza with…read morevarious shopping places, it had the vibe of a local diner but with menu choices that were not-so-ordinary. The service was outstanding -- helpful but not intrusive. The bad news is that because I was meeting a friend that I had not seen in a long time, I was so involved with our conversation that I completely forgot to take menu pictures or even food pictures -- the horror! We started our food adventure here with one of the seasonal specialties -- the "Yammin Kegs" -- which looked like a rather large tater tot -- but made of sweet potatoes with cinnamon and maple. The serving had about eight, a shareable size. They were quite good on their own, but it was the bourbon caramel sauce on the side that turned this into more of a dessert where ordering another was very tempting. For the entree, the seasonal soup and salad, a red pepper and gouda soup and a grilled provolone and American cheese sandwich made with sourdough caught my attention. Although seemingly ordinary, it was anything but that. The soup had enough of a bite from the red pepper to keep it out of the bland, and the sandwich was toasted perfectly with the right amount of crunch to counter the gooey-cheese. I don't know -- maybe it was being together with a good friend and the conversation that made this simple meal stand out -- but it did and that's going to stay with me. This will be a visit-again place the next time I'm in the area.

We drove up to this strip plaza and walked into what we expected as a local diner. We were greeted and seated to a mostly empty place. Menu was very large with tons of options and a special menu. Kids ordered the breakfast specials and the rest of the travellers had an omelette, soup and sandwich, country fried steak and some sort of beef on a pita. Food came out quickly, hot and everyone loved their meal. My chicken fried steak was fabulous and the bread the offered seemed to be homemade. It's a dinner in the middle of nowhere but the quality and quantity far exceeded our expectations. Ambiance is what you expect for a place in the middle of small town USA. Amazing place is you are coming back from visiting one of Frank Wright's POI.

The gentleman next to us was still waiting on black coffee when we left. It's like they got all the drink orders mixed up with zero organization. They claim to be "gluten free". They have salads and açaí bowls. Thats it. No gluten free pastries. Small town coffee shop that looks like it's in a struggling town. We chose it to support local. Probably would not go back. Late was all foam and coffee was pretty weak. Waited over 30 mins for 2 drinks.

It's good for diner food, large portions at reasonable prices, but to get vegetables you have to order a BLT or a hamburger. Forget about fruit. Free parking on the street out front.

Not really my kind of place, but the pickings are slim in Donora, so I can recommend The Early Bird.

We enjoyed our dinner at The Back Porch Restaurant in Belle Vernon, PA…read more This restaurant is about 1 hour drive from downtown Pittsburgh. We are in town for a wedding. The building is a beautiful mansion Est. in 1806. The mansion was converted to a restaurant in 1975. You need reservations for the upper upscale dining area. We decided to eat in the Speakeasy room located in the basement because it was more casual. Glad we ate in speakeasy room because it was a really nice cave looking room with vintage decor and cool prohibition photos from the 1920s. We enjoyed the Half Rack of char grilled pork ribs with brown sugar, soy and ginger with a side of cheesy scallop potatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the crème brûlée and Kahlua cheesecake.
