Plaza Lounge

"Very slow service. My girlfriend has been here before, and before we got there she warned me about the slow service, so we actually set a stopwatch and from us entering the building to us leaving was an hour and 40 minutes. Neither of us drink much at all, we were just there for some food, so an hour and 40 minutes is pretty long. But I can't really complain about the time all that much because a minute after we got there the women working there warned us that it would be slow service, I think she was the only one waiting the tables and the only one cooking the food. So i'm grate-full that she warned us, but it still seems bad of them to be so understaffed. We got some chili fries to share as an appetizer. I didn't really like them, but i'm not a huge fan of chili to begin with, so maybe that's just my opinion. I got a burger and fries for the meal, and the burger was surprisingly very good. It tasted like a Guy Fieri burger. And the fries tasted just like Kennywood Potato Patch fries. The prices are pretty reasonable. The special was a burger and fries for $5, which seems really good for the size of the burger. I lost $2 playing the slot machine and didn't win a single time. The menus are a little beat up and could use replacing. The front smelled really badly of smoke, but the back half has tables and was separated by a door so it didn't smell like smoke in the back. Look, if you go here expecting a fancy restaurant with high end everything, you'll have a bad time. But in the context of a bar East Pittsburg with affordable prices, it's pretty decent. A lot of people there looked like they were regulars who frequent the place quite often."

"I can't possibly describe how good this place is! (When it comes to the restaurant!) Great, great home made food. Never had a lunch or dinner that I was disappointed about. Great prices too."

"Food is pretty good for a small bar and the company can be fun. Not a huge selection of drinks but enough between bottles and the few drinks on tap. Specials nights are great, and they have a deliscous Reuben sandwich."

"The restaurant at the Plaza Lounge is one of Pittsburgh's best kept secrets. It's delicious Classic Pub Grub that's friendly to the wallet. Once you've been here for lunch I guarantee you'll be back with your friends showing off your great "Hidden Dining Treasure"."

"I have not been in the Pittsburgh area for about five years. I have found a good chicken place in California where I live now. I was at The Plaza about two weeks ago and had the fried wings. I was kidding myself when I thought the wings here were comparable to the Plaza wings. Oh my, how I miss the Plaza wings. When I hit the "Burg" the Plaza wings are one of the first foods that I eat. I was born and raised near the Plaza and feasted on Plaza wings. I consider myself some what of a wing connoisseur because I love wings and have eaten them all over the USA. I have eaten wings at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY. A good wing, but not the whole wing -and done differently. There are none better than the Plaza Wing. Oh my, my mouth is watering now. I can hardly wait until I hit the 'Burg" again."
