Just ok. Salad was starting to brown. I ordered their special, Bubba Gump that was included 3 shrimp, 3 shrimp scampi and 3 stuffed shrimp, plus one soft shell crab. The crab wasn’t really soft shell and I couldn’t eat it; the shrimp should have been broiled, but was steamed and the scampi was 3 steamed shrimp tossed in a sauce that was not just butter and garlic. Scampi was gross. If I go there again, I would order a burger and fries, but that’s about it. I brought it to server’s attention and the manager discounted the bill of $ 7.00(for the scampi?), but I was still just disappointed with the food, overall. My husband ordered the Zuppa De Pecse. Seafood was cooked fine, but pasta had an overwhelming amount of olive oil, which is odd, because we are certainly not afraid of adding EVOO in anything, but this was just too much for our deep Italian roots. We’ve been here on several occasions and are ok with the burgers and fries, pizza and general bar food, but I’ve given up on just about anything else.

The sausage pizza is a good deal during Happy Hour. Otherwise the food is not that good here.

Nice clean bar & restaurant area. Menu selections are plentiful. Burgers wings, sandwiches. Different specials every day. Good spot to go with friends or family.

Went there last night for the first time. Nothing special in terms of atmosphere, just a regular bar/grill. However, the food was great. Fried mac and cheese was awesome, especially with the dipping sauce it comes with. Wife got the Caprese Chicken Panini and said it was good. I got the Chipotle burger. Had some kick to it, but not enough to ruin the burger. Burger was cooked right. Only thing I would change is make the bun a bit bigger so it doesn’t fall apart.

Service is slow, drinks are decent and the food is well meh. Ive been here about 3 times and didn’t write about it because each time i had different experiences so i will combine all into one. The bar drinks are good but not great. The seem to have a nice variety of beer especially seasonal. Service is always slow which is sad cause each time they were not very busy. Lastly the food is well plan«meh». Sandwiches are ok, appys are better but the dishes that should be good are gross. Ribs are like jerky and meatloaf is hard. Each time i went i was with 5 – 6 people. 4 of us always get entrees so when 3 of the 4 say they had better at taco bell, its an issue. I personally am not picky but when rib meat is so tough it hurts thats an issue. Soooooo if you go here maybe eat appys and drinks. Stay away from the entrees.

Had to stop in here since we’ve passed it many times and hadn’t gone in. Had the Peel and Eat Shrimp, 12″ bar pie w/sausage and black olives and a bowl of NE Clam Chowdah. The P&E Shrimp was not bad, the bar pie was exactly to my wifey’s liking, micro thin crispy crust, the chowdah was very good. Saw the Sunday menu along with the multitude of TV’s makes it a definite stop for a Steelers game. Kelly the manager and our waitress, Alex, were very gracious in helping with some billing confusion. Overall great experience and left us with a desire to return.

Waited almost 2 hours just to get food. 20 minutes for drinks is unacceptable. Stop charging extra for things that other places include! I’m talking about the sides on wraps and sandwiches: not everyone likes that gross pasta salad with their buffalo chicken wrap. Think of your guests first. Menu is in need of adjustment. Food is usually good however. Used to go here all the time. I never go to this place if I’m not dragged. It’s places like this why I don’t eat at mom and pop restaurants. Standards all over the place…

Nice place — loud bar — also never seem to dim lights after Happy Hour — bring sunglasses… Just sayin

I had never been here before, and my understanding is that they’ve updated some things with this restaurant recently. So I guess keep that in mind if you haven’t been here yet either and you’re reading old reviews — because this place is pretty good! I came out here last night with my boyfriend and his friend who are both from this area. It’s definitely your average bar and grill type of place. I ordered a burger(the Chapter House with cheddar cheese). The burger was cooked perfectly to medium. It was massive, but I must have been hungry or it must have been really good because I finished the whole thing. Big beer selection, looks like they have some daily specials for food and drink(just not on Saturdays), and the service was good. They even have a juke box in the bar that you can order songs through your phone with — so you don’t have to worry about getting pointed out when«I’ll Make Love to You» by Boyz II Men mysteriously starts playing.

This place has such potential, but overall it’s just«meh». The portions are huge, the service is spotty, but the food is really mediocre at best. Two times ago I swore I was done going here. The last time I was here, it was definitely the last time!

Strong drinks, food is okay, wings are good and its local– We obviously didn’t know anyone but seems there are a lot of regulars. Parking is easy

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I appreciate that they have separate seating away from the bar because I don’t drink, but the service in that area is just awful. The last time I went which was on March 19th, and our server did not listen to anything I said. For example, I ordered a soup as an appetizer, but instead of bringing it to the table, he boxed it up to go. It was just strange because I never asked for that. Also, he did not accommodate my order for no garlic in my dish which ended up making the meal unpleasant because I knew I would get sick from it. Every time I have gone it seems like the servers are never well trained on the menu and customer service. I found it annoying that they have some food items that they only carry on certain days even though they can make them everyday. The last time I went, I had the penne vodka and it was inedible. There was a disgusting amount of cream that made me instantly nauseous on top of how much garlic was in it! However, the time I went before that was in January and I was able to order the eggplant. The eggplant dish was delicious and I would love to order that again! Unfortunately, that is one of the dishes that is only available on that one day. I would highly recommend that they add that to their menu, along with more options for those who don’t eat meat. As a whole, I honestly feel that if the staff were better trained, this would be a fantastic restaurant. Besides the penne vodka, which I would never get again, the service was the biggest thing wrong.

They have one of the areas best happy hours. The food and drinks are good and well priced. We have been going there for well over 15 years and never had a bad experience. An occasional buy back would be nice though.

Terrible! Non existent management. We went to have dinner and drinks at the bar. The bar was not busy. Plenty of seats available. Waited 15 minutes to be recognized. Placed our beer order, received our beers and menus. Then waited and waited and waited to place our dinner order. Now finished our beers waited to be recognize. Still no service. The couple next to us was also ignored. They had to stand up and wave their arms to pay by credit card. The good thing about Chapter House is they keep your tab in a glass in front of you. We paid it in cash without leaving a tip. Looked for a manager, none seen or found. We will not return and tell everyone of our poor experience.

Tonight I walked in to get a beer from a long day of work, unconsciously hungry. I was greeted by one of the friendly bartenders and offered a menu which I happily accepted. Immediately I saw the Sunday prime rib deal and was intrigued. It took no more than the basic instruction of «medium rare more on the rare side» to receive the a best dinner I have gotten from a bar and grill in ages. Must visit. Nuff sed.

Denny’s quality with red lobster prices. Have a huge menu. A lot of things to choose from. Fish n chips were overlooked. And don’t order chips as a side. They serve the bottom crumbles of a ruffles bag.
