Really enjoyed our cheeseteaks and fries. The sandwich was delicious and filling! It wasn't busy as we got there a little after opening. Not that it was extremely long, but we did wait a little for our sandwiches. The counter guy was nice, and we took one of the handful of tables inside to eat. 2 sandwiches, 2 fries, and 2 drinks was around $30. A little expensive, but very good.

At Jerry's we found a helpful, happy attendant. We took her advice and ordered the favorites. The Dorsey is described as a double but in actuality it is two patties side by side, in our book that is an extra long single. The poppers were filled with a cheese that was distasteful and we didn't even finish eating one a piece. Need a refill, expect to pay for a second drink, no refills. This ruffled my feathers when the price is so inflated for profit margin to begin with. The sirloin and fries was a huge serving and was the bright spot of our order. We found eating from the tray cumbersome and our desire to try several different items had food stashed everywhere possible on our dashboard. We are glad we tried this mode of meal service once, but for us, that will also be our last visit.

Freedom Square Diner

Reviewed By CAT_AJM

Passing by the area, found this via tripadvisor. Diner was very basic, but clean. Wait staff was excellent and attentive. Typical diner food - sandwiches, breakfast, turkey, meatloaf etc. I opted for a burger, and upcharged for fresh cut fries..(chips come with sandwich). Bacon- Cheese burger was excellent and done just right. Fries were definitely cooked fresh and also excellent. Won't hesitate to stop here again. A bit on the pricey side, but it quality, taste , and service made up for it.. A bit hard to find, Tucked away in a small strip plaza, down from the mall and next to the Cinema.

Reviewed By Johnandjoanne1971

I’m always looking for the best fish sandwich in Pittsburgh. On the recommendation of a friend my wife and I gave it a try. From the outside it doesn’t look that great but inside is a very quaint and clean restaurant. A great looking old fashioned bar and a large selection of craft beers. The fish sandwich was huge! My wife ordered the small fish so I thought I’d get the large. Mine came with two giant pieces of fish. I had fish left over for dinner that night and lunch the next day. This is truly worth a visit to have a great tasting fish sandwich.

We got take out at the Beaver store. The sound was wrapped tightly in Saran Wrap to prevent leakage. My daughter was halfway done with the soup. She scooped some from the bottom to find BUGS! They looked like those drain gnats!! Nasty!!! I called the manager. All he said was, “thanks for letting us know. We will dump it out.” That’s IT! Never again.

Had the pleasure of going there again and had a great Brisket and slaw sandwich which was delicious. Slaw is made with sour cream instead of mayonnaise. That was delicious also. Fries that are dusted tasted great. Don’t let the look of no windows scare you away from this place. It’s great food there and there are lots of TVs there showing sporting events and they serve food til midnight. I did have their Grilled Cheese with Brisket last year and that was yummy. Would recommend without hesitation.

Tonight's special, hot meatloaf sandwich and mashed potatoes, had been a great example of the wonderful food one can find at this charming restaurant. Great cooks, friendly waiters and waitresses, conscientious bus boys and gals, welcoming hostesses, and a gracious owner make the dining experience a thoroughly enjoyable one.

I wished I'd had the experience others raved about in their reviews, but it was nothing like those. Weekend so I knew it would be busy, but I was told this is a great breakfast place. Sure. Ok. So I went here. Was told right away it would be 20 minutes wait which was about right. I got the message on my phone the table was ready, so I went and was seated. Placed my order for Eggs Benedict on waffles instead of English muffins. I thought 10-15 minutes, but it was about 40 minutes and I asked my server. She said she'd check. Another 10 minutes and I asked again. She said she would check. She was busy and maybe forgot. I said I need to leave soon so if they haven't gotten to the order that I'll just cancel it. She checked and came right back and told me it was coming up now. A few minutes as it was being made. Fine. I'd already waited an hour in total since I arrived and that I'll wait. 5 minutes later I get a Benedict on waffles but no eggs! I asked here about the poached eggs? She said they weren't ready a few more minutes and she'd bring them over. I almost lost it. I did keep my calm and just said to cancel the order and left. I couldn't say anything else without getting really upset and maybe cursing. Why would anyone do that?! I already waited long and accepted that. You tell me it's almost ready and I'm hungry and then you bring me half a breakfast?! Really? I already waited an hour but a few minutes more I could have waited but to bring half and leave it to get cold while I wait for the eggs which is the most important part of EGGS Bendict was too much. I just drove over an hour to Pittsburgh to eat at Cracker Barrel which I should have done in the first place. What a disaster breakfast. I won't be heading black again.Hi, James. We are terribly sorry for such poor customer service. Can you please tell us which location you visited? We'd like to be able to use this as a training experience and to see what was the holdup on our end. We would also like to make it up to you.

The service is good and the food is better. I recommend the blooming onion, chicken critter salad, and loaded sweet potato. The price wouldn’t break the bank you the portions are big. Recently they added a lot of ads for various businesses which takes away from the atmosphere. You can’t look anywhere without seeing one.

I attended a meeting here. There food was awful. My entree was eatable and that's about the best I can say. As a customer this is not a place I would dine. Clearly management is not interested in more inviting new diners. The entire experience was unpleasant. Service was very poor. It took forever to be served. Four attendees were told they ran out of food. Instead of offering other options they were finally served the same sad food at about 8:30. Really? Where was the Angel that nighht?
