Our Guestbook
“ Just right as a mid-day gastropub. I had the Smash Club Burger. Kristin waited on us and she had a great attitude; a lot of tables but she still managed to take great care of us. ”
“ I visited the Galleria location after going to The Yard in Shadyside many times. The grilled cheeses, fries, and tomato soup were just as delicious as I remembered, but the service left something to be desired. Our server was a little frosty and I felt that we were rushed to finish our meal even though the place wasn't exactly packed. In the future I'll probably stick to the downtown or Shadyside locations. ”
“ So we decided to go here for lunch during lent and get grilled cheese sandwiches. Wow did it not let down. Crispy cheese edges on a thick sourdough Texas toast. And a bowl of tomato soup and waffle fries. Left so full and satisfied. Excellent lunch option anytime but especially during lent. The service was great as well. One server, lots of customers, no wait on anything. Plus this place is pretty cool. The open concept is a very nice change. ”
“ We stopped in on a Saturday for a late lunch. No wait to be seated. We started with the pub pretzels along with a beam me up and aloha Felicia to drink. I ended up swapping to a Fat Heads Bumble Berry as the beam me up was too sweet for me. I ordered the Smack and it was very filling, had to get a to go box for the other half. Everything else came out great as well. If you got a hankering for some grilled cheeses, this is the place to be! ”
“ I'm truly surprised I hadn't written a review. I absolutely love this place! I enjoy their menu, staff, drinks, and everything in between. The staff is personable. Some of my past servers have been: Kendall, Amanda, Tony, Trisha (sp?). They always tolerate my ridiculous personality, and work with us The food is always up to par. May I recommend the Mac attack? If you love cheese it will be the best thing you will experience. I have been here way too many times, at this point they know my order. You could NEVER go wrong with anything you order here. You can try, but you won't succeed. Also, the brunch menu is a mix of heaven, nirvana, and absolute deliciousness. The bottomless mimosas are definitely a nice touch too. If you don't like this place we need to swap numbers and discuss about how to get rid of the negativity in your life ”
