   Impromptu date night. The beef tartare was excellent, as were the sandwiches and drinks. Service was great. Hope to come again soon.

   The French Onion Soup is well worth the high price as it is unsurpassed in western Pennsylvania. The sandwiches can be really messy to eat but so tasty that the inconvenience is easy to ignore. Extra napkins are supplied up front. Our service was less than should be expected. Maybe it's lack of training, maybe it was just her having a bad day. Took over twenty minutes to get coffee and then only when catching her eye to see about delay. She was very willing to accommodate our requests but seemed insecure about how to handle some of it.

   Friendly helpful service in a pleasant restaurant. Excellent pierogies, juicy burgers. Could use more vegetable and salad side order options but overall a very good spot.

   I came here to have dinner for my wife's birthday with her parents. Was unable to get a server for the first 25 minutes of being there. Service was extremely inattentive and did not notice when we didn't have plates, silverware, or when our drinks were empty and if we had an issue. The server apologized but didn't at any point try to rectify the lack of service. Overall felt it was a lame experience and would only come back to the bar for a drink.

    Very nice overall experience. The burgers were amazing. Fries tasted great but were only ‘warm’ when they arrived. difficult to bring hot with skinny fries but hot is better. Service is stellar here and are very accomplished in knowing their craft. There is an appetizer they have that smells like old locker room socks the next table had. WhileI am sure it is tasty, it is horribly smelly for anyone around not eating it. Do recommend going as their menus are great and overall experience was very good. 8/10

    this restaurant is trying to be more than it is. the food doesn’t match their pricing. the rolls came with a peach butter. when i asked for regular butter they said they didn’t have regular butter and the kitchen was too busy to find some. the name of this place is butter joint! the burgers were good but mine was ordered medium and came medium rare and my companion ordered medium rare and it came medium. very small menu and drinks from the bar take forever. even if you just want a coke….

    The food was average, not worth the price. My burger was over cooked. The wait time for drinks was around 20 minutes- we actually got our appetizers before our 1st round of drinks. Our sever was disinterested and cleared food and drinks prior to being finished. The only outstanding item was the vinegar pie for dessert.

    I was excited to visit Butterjoint based on the reviews and restaurant website. Upon arriving, seating was prompt, but service slowed thereafter. We ordered the crostini with pepper jam, and while tasty, it was overpriced massively: $9 for two finger-length, thin crostini smeared with goat cheese and jam. Same for the crispy pickles; tasty, but extremely small portion for the price. We ordered burgers and after a very long time, they arrived at the wrong temps - significantly wrong. Two undercooked, one overcooked. The gentleman helping at the front desk and elsewhere apologized and took them to be remade “right away”. About 10 minutes later, the burgers reappeared and the temps were right. Tasty, but not the overwhelming experience I hoped for with a $21 hamburger. Finally, the bar was slow - waiting for a simple Diet Coke took 15 minutes, accompanied by the explanation “yeah, the bar is really backed up it seems”. Maybe it was an off night. Overall, the bill for 3 came to over $125 with only two glasses of wine and a long time waiting for burgers. I was disappointed, and could not recommend to anyone. Again, I know anomalies happen, and maybe this was one of them.

    People were lovely & kind, serving with smiles. Ambiance was somewhat of an 80's style supper-club (dated). The food was run of the mill & IF the pierogis & polish sausage were homemade, it was an off day for both. Nothing memorable about the steamed beets, single broccolini floret, sauerkraut, or sautéed onions. Will go back if others insist on doing so, but not by choice. NOTE: there was nothing wrong with anything...just nothing spectacular, either. It's a good comfort place if that is what a local Yinzer is seeking.

    The food was very good, and a reasonable selection of appetizers and burgers. Not much in the way full entree. This isn't the old Legume, but still a nice place for a casual dinner, good service, and good food and wine. When all the tables are occupied it does get quite noisy in there, especially with the background music playing rather loud as well.

    Sorry, but very disappointed in our meal. Not sure why it has so many great reviews. The good was just “ok”. Some of the flavors were “off” and presentation inconsistent. We really wanted to like it.

    I was expecting a little nicer ambiance so it’s my fault for not checking. It was literally a bar with some tables. Food was fine. Very limited menu. Overly salted veggies…but fine. Wouldn’t be my first choice for a nice relaxing fine dining meal (again my mistake—should have known by the name “joint”) but was better than average bar food. Waitress was lovely and service very nice!!!

    The lighting level was excessively low, making it extremely hard to read the menu. The food was sub par, no exceptional flavor, limited perogi options. The pulled goat had so much garlic aoli that I could not taste the Jamaican seasoning. The fries were so small you had to eat them with a spoon. The lager was so blonde it was like a pale ale. We had 4 different servers and still had poor service, example, they served highly chlorinated tap water and my table had no drink refills as the servers presence was too scarce to notice empty glasses. Finally as a supposed high end restaurant, they had not invested in a chip reader. Overwhelmingly unimpressed with this location.

    Our hamburgers were excellent and cooked perfectly. The French fries were also excellent. Our server was lovely. I found the atmosphere to be a bit rough and strip down. I was used to going to this location when it was Nino’s many years ago. Then it was an upscale, formal restaurant with white tablecloths and excellent food and service. I hadn’t been back there since and it was quite a transformation and a shock to see the change.

    Butterjoint is a fun spot, but it's always uneven. Our first round of drinks were great, our second round (of the same drinks) were not. The atmosphere was nice when we came in, but halfway through the meal they turned the lights down too far to really be able to see the food. We thought it was a mistake that would be corrected, but it never was. The food is tasty, if a bit pricey for what it is, and they should really be making better fries. For a place that sells burgers and steak frites, they're an important item, and not very good.
