Reviews of Steel City Samiches Bar & Grille (Restaurant)

Bill McCoy

Great waitress... delicious soup, great fresh cut French fries & pretty good burger,

Jonathan Orris

Visited on a Friday night early around 5pm. Not crowded. Very nice service and delicious food. Outdoor and indoor seating. Fun place.

Jennifer Bohland-Anhalt

Don't go here for the food. If you want Pittsburgh style sandwiches, drive into the city! BUT...the service was great! We started with a cup of chili, which tasted like marinara sauce. Chili should never be that sweet! The fries on both of our plates looked wonderful, but that is where the goodness ended. They were chewy on the outside and had a texture of grainy mashed potatoes on the inside. The sandwich buns (which also looked great) were on the verge of being stale. The bacon on the burger was tissue paper thin, not crispy, and reminded me of shelf stable pre-cooked packaged bacon. I ended up getting a black bean burger...the flavor was wonderful, but the texture was mush. The mushrooms on the burger were canned, not sauteed fresh. I wish I would have preceded the meal with a few beers to minimize my disappointment with the meal.

Matthew Conjelko

This place is amazing probably one of my favorites, I have been going here since they opened and have yet to be disappointed. The wings are amazing although a bit pricey, try the steel city slicker sauce 100% would recommend.

Kev Shearer

Great Food, great service, great environment

lesly johnson

vary good

Heather Wilhelm

Food was okay. The atmosphere was loud.

Mike Osborn

Good food and good service. I only got bad food once, but they were busy, so i could see a little lack in quality.

Jack Anderson

Unique sandwiches. Good. Nice ppl

G.A. Samuel

We ate here twice over the past week while attending a Church conference at IUP. The service we received from everyone that waited on us was great--they practically kill you with kindness; not really used to that out here in the NYC area, so that's really what drove us to visit twice. The food was good too; I might add we came in at around midnight on both occassions and the lateness of the hour didn't seem to impact the quality of service one bit. Kudos to the management and all the team members at this location.

alex hoyman

Good service and friendly faces

Tony Kennedy

First time eating here. I'm not usually a coleslaw and French fries on my sandwich kind of guy but I let them out it on my Old McDonald sandwich and it was very good. I will eat here again. The service was excellent and the owner was very nice. He tried to get my nephew to try his coleslaw. His plan didn't work. He even offered him a free sandwich just to try it. It was all around a good experience.

derrick amoaye

Great food and great service

Angie Wagner

Meh, we were passing through and menu looked good (the Samies are definitely not for me but husband likes that style). He got one of the Samies and I got a sandwich with beef, provolone and sautéed onions. It was OK, there were barely any onions on my sandwich so thank goodness for the garlic aoli sauce othwise it would be dry as a bone. He thought his was OK but nothing to write home about. The place looked fun and a good place to hang and drink in the spring and fall with the garage doors up.

Brett Robinson

Pretty good. Others in our group loved the burgers and sandwiches. I had salad. Salads are just alright. All salads are made with iceberg lettuce and no better greens. If looking for a good sandwich or burger this is the place. Recommended

Bill McCoy

Great waitress... delicious soup, great fresh cut French fries & pretty good burger,

Jeffrey Nick

Bring your appetite! The sandwiches are amazing and delicious! I had the Polamalu, and it was fantastic! Great service and great atmosphere! I look forward to trying another samich when I come back to IUP!!

A great tribute restaurant to the "pittsburgh style" sandwich (think Primanti's). Everything I've eaten there has been awesome!

Craving a *cough* Pittsburgh style sandwich and don't feel like the drive? This is where to go. Fresh bread, great slaw and fries. Delicious.

DJ Doak

Great sammiches

Adam Gallo

Food is excellent, little slow on getting waited on. Overall will be back

Betsy Dakak

Food was pretty good. Service not so much.

bri del

No flavor to their sandwhiches. A bit overpriced for the quality. Barely any meat on my sandwhich. Mostly just slaw.

Justin Lowry

Way better than Pirmantis. Awesome atmosphere - great food, even better service. I get a samich at least twice a month.

Rob Dipofi

I didn't know even that this place existed until it came up online as I was looking for places to go out for drinks and to eat! I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a a great atmosphere and place to chill and relax. Awesome food! Great prices too.

Austin Matthews

great sandwiches really tastes like pittsburgh

Kaylah Kimak

Does not live up to the reviews at all, went last night with my boyfriend since I didn’t feel like cooking dinner and we would’ve been better off getting burgers from McDonalds. No pink in our burgers despite we asked for there to be they were just flavorless and spongey, fries were ice cold when we got our food and our waitress was not attentive at all, she didn’t check back on us for a good 20 minutes after giving us our food so we weren’t even able to bring attention to the issues with our food. Save yourself some money and eat somewhere else.

Jonathan Orris

Visited on a Friday night early around 5pm. Not crowded. Very nice service and delicious food. Outdoor and indoor seating. Fun place.

Dinozox

Good food but the proportions were a little small for me.

Dante DeMatteo

Very broad menu and very fairly priced. Extensive drink menu is also fairly priced and they have very good nightly specials/happy hours. Food was great and came out incredibly fast

cindy borger

We were looking for a different place for lunch/dinner while visiting my daughter at IUP & found this place. Food & service was great! Would definitely go back again! No smoking was a plus!

thomas tidwell

Good food... they made a special order for me without question.

Not disclosed Na

the food here is really good but the service sucks... everytime we are here our waiter forgets drinks and messes up the order. One time our waiter was even like sorry guys my friends are here so it might take me a while to get back to you because I'm serving them. It's just annoying.

Linda Hill

Good food! Will definitely be back to try a different samich...so many to choose off the menu.

Andrew Wunder

Great food good service.

Thomas X

Good bar food and beer. Local vibe. Clean and friendly.

Ashley and Casey are the best servers! I honestly had the best times eating here when they are my servers.

Susan Taylor-Fahnestock

Food is good and fairly priced. Server was very friendly and helpful

Valerie Quarles

Love this place

Stephen Zacherl

Cheese steak hogie was not good

Cnut

Terrible! No matter how hungry you are don't stop here. Had a sub for lunch. The bread was hold and hard. Salad looked and tasted like it came out of the fridge after a week of sitting there. Service. There are plenty of better places in Indiana to spend your money,

Dawn Bowman

Good food and good prices

Alyssa Madison

Amazing food, great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.

Bryan Sheffar

Decent food, huge sandwiches not horribly expensive

Ian Brown

cindy borger

We were looking for a different place for lunch/dinner while visiting my daughter at IUP & found this place. Food & service was great! Would definitely go back again! No smoking was a plus!

Nathan Montgomery

Consistently fantastic, always a destination when I visit Indiana, PA. The owner is attentive and friendly, everything on the menu is good.

Tony C

Large portions at very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Food was a touch bland for my taste, but honestly that seems pretty common in that area of PA.

Alex Montgomery

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch out at Steel City! Our server was warm, professional, fun, and quite attentive to our every need. We had the sampler appetizer plate (cheese sticks, fried pickles, and Pittsburgh kabobs) which was delicious. I ordered the hearty Igloo Club, and would certainly do it again. Washing it all down with a handmade strawberry lemonade was a fantastic life decision! I can't wait to go back, and you should visit too!

Laurie Tabacheck

Good food. Friendly people.

Jamie Lynn

Found this place by accident and not disappointed! Food was delicious, large portions, and very reasonably priced (which seems odd for the IUP area!?). Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. I recommend to upgrade your fries to the saucy fries!

John Wesolowski

Delish subs.

judie dixon

Fantastic food, cooked perfectly, great service, great atmosphere

Thomas Jenkins

Chicken sandwich is the craziest, all the food is amazing

Alec P

Potato skins are baller

Bev Prugh

A little to pricey for a small town, fries weren't cooked...... not impressed........

Horrible knock offs ...stale bread lousy service and fries of cardboard....but just my opinion... judge for yourself

Helen Shannon

Our server Delaney was awesome!! We asked her what was good on the menu, we took her advise and it was awesome!! We will be back!!!

EXCELLENT sandwiches! Might even be better than Primanti Bros.

Matthew Horwath

Fantastic food and fast service, you also get a ton of food for your money, and they serve alcohol now!

Thomas Angelo

Amazing food. They have some really awesome creations. The staff is truly wonderful too. They really do a great job all around.

The best restaurant in town. Period.

Mike Vogt

Great food very friendly staff! First time in a few years to come eat here and the food is still just as good!

John N. Carlson

Excellent place. Great decor, indoor and outdoor seating. Decent prices. True Pittsburgh style foods. I thoroughly enjoyed my appetizer of Pittsburgh kabobs. And my Franco sandwich was very big and very good. My friend's Funnel Cake Fries were delicious. Good service capped it off. Go there!

Evans Garvis

we went for my grandma's 93rd birthday and our waiter was such a delight and the food was delicious

Russell Newman

Friendly atmosphere, good service, good food at a good price--everything you want in a casual restaurant.

Sasquatch Kestner

Great food!!! local recommend it. Customer service needs work.

Andrew Columbus

Terrible food. Buns were way too heavy and large. Also incredibly doughy. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody. If you want a good restaurant just go to permantis. They have the best food by far. Overall don't go to steel city samiches. They have bad food.

Jeffrey Duffee

My favorite restaraunt in town great service great food and great times

that guy

Great food not the greatest for you but that's what bar food is supposed to be right?

Josh Cooper

Great food

Gram Drumgoole

The best barbaque sauces I've had in a while and great service.

Brandon Ballay

This place is amazing, and the waitresses are cute too

Jon Lloyd

I'm in Indiana each weekend and I pop into Steel City at least twice per month. The sandwiches are really good but their hidden gems are their fries and their milkshakes. They have some of the best hand-cut fries around, and their cinnamon/cajun spice mix is incredible. You wouldn't think cinnamon mixed with cajun seasoning on french fries would be a good combo, but it's seriously amazing. I've actually gone just for the fries before. They also have incredible milkshakes, and for adults they have the option to make them alcoholic. The alcoholic cinnamon toast milkshake will make you forget everything you thought you knew about milkshakes. Parking isn't ideal, but there is a very close deck nearby next to the Indiana Theater (a block away) that's a 2-minute walk, and is free on Sundays. I've also found it's a little less busy on Sundays so if you're in Indiana on a Sunday and want a great bite, to catch the Steeler game on TV, or just want to get fries and a shake, Steel City is the place to go.

Ryan Todd

We were seated, waiter got us our drinks forgot half if them, took our order for food then came back 20 minutes later and asked us again what we wanted, then came back another 20 minutes later and asked us one more time. An hour and half after being seated and many people around us had gotten there food and ate and left. We still never got our and had grown frustrated at this point. Told our waiter we will just take it to go. Another 20 mins past. Told him forget about. Manger got involved after I avoiding our group for several minutes and then apologized for everything and told us we didn't have to pay for our drinks after our waiter gave us the Bill's before we even got our food. Most frustrating and worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in my life.

brilohr7

Great place to eat. The service was quick and the food was fantastic for the price. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Alexandra Vatavuk

Took our son here for his 21St Birthday dinner. It was awesome. He got a T-shirt a champagne on the house. Service was excellent and food was delish!

Bryan Montague

Great Samiches, a good place to go for something different from the others in town!

John N. Carlson

Excellent place. Great decor, indoor and outdoor seating. Decent prices. True Pittsburgh style foods. I thoroughly enjoyed my appetizer of Pittsburgh kabobs. And my Franco sandwich was very big and very good. My friend's Funnel Cake Fries were delicious. Good service capped it off. Go there!

Caleb Jobe

Great place for a sandwich and a beer. Great food at a decent price.

Chad Myers

This is a great bar & grill. It has a nice layout with indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has a wide variety on it with something for everyone. It is the perfect place to watch the game or have a lunch date.

John Burket

Food was amazing, but a bunch of young high school maybe young college students working and serving, terrible awaiter service. We saw our food sit on the warmer to go out to our table for 5 minites and out waiter was no where to be found. All the youngsters need to learn to work and not socialize while on shift.

matt keller

Great service and food

Jake Burkhart

Good Food

Evans Garvis

we went for my grandma's 93rd birthday and our waiter was such a delight and the food was delicious

Ralph Puffenbarger

Server was awesome, food was quick and tasty. Best experience I've had in town in quite a while.

J Rife

Excellent food and service. Get the Saucy Fries!

sam adams

Service was good. Place was empty at lunch and we waited a little long for a cold burger on a dry bun. Sheetz makes a better burger for a lot less money.

Dawson Rummel

It's a very steelers centric place with HUGE sandwiches with BIG flavor

Hannah Wallace

Exquisite food and atmosphere. My party had the salmon

notabay

Quality sandwiches! Not your one slice of drab meat kind of place, They pile it on generously. You won't be disappointed

Doug Lydick

Excellent food and service!!

Jake Wissinger

This is my favorite restaurant in town. Everything you order tastes excellent and the atmosphere is perfect for hanging out with friends.

Jeff Nick

Bring your appetite! The sandwiches are amazing and delicious! I had the Polamalu, and it was fantastic! Great service and great atmosphere! I look forward to coming back and try another samich when I return to IUP!!

Valarie Kelly

The waitress was great, but the kitchen messed up my order by adding a spicy sauce to my sandwich (The sauce wasn't part of the sandwich and I can't eat spicy food so I definitely didn't ask for it). The problem was fixed, I just hate having to wait a second time. The food was good when it was made correctly though so I might go back someday when I visit the town again.

Eric Wingert

Amazing food

Dan Burk

Service is lacking, sat there for 5 minutes and never was acknowledged or saw anyone attending to the bar area. Won’t go back.

Tim Othy

Good food decent service

Michele Gibson

Excellent food and wait staff!

James Mcgregor

Was not impressed, didn't finish meal, trying to be like pamanni brothers.

goober4ever86 .

I love how they always care how their customers meals are and take their time with their customers. Very professional and I absolutely love their food! I can't help but go back! Between the food and service I just love that restaurant so much!

Rock Star

I really wanted to like the place but the food was cold and the beer was warm. The bartender was very nice. The sandwiches looked interesting so I ordered one and it was horrible the meat was slimey and undercooked and the coleslaw tasted like it was a week old and my fries were cold not even room temperature. My husband's wings were under cooked. If the Dept of Health every visits this place they will more than likely be shut down. Hoping we don't end up with food poisoning. Would not recommend this place, unless you are looking for food poisoning.

Al Carbone

Friendly staff and good food, funnel cake fries were great.

Robert Conde

Beer ok. Atmosphere ok. "Sammich", I ordered the sliders and meh. It had no flavor. I know this place has good reviews so far but I honestly could have used some salt in my coleslaw or at least the fries that they covered my sandwich in. I had added at the table and it helped a little. Maybe try some seasoning? Just saying. Prob won't go back tons of other sammich options

Jacob Kaighn

I got the Mad Cowher. Best burger ever if you can finish it.

Dan Harper

Great food!

Stephen Vidovich

Great service. Food and drinks were great. Will be back....prices very fair

TheStarshipCat

This is my favorite casual sit-down place in Indiana, for many reasons - the food is amazing, the atmosphere is awesome for locals and Pittsburgh sport fans, prices are reasonable, and the service is great. The food is definitely very greasy and it's about a once a month or less visit, but you never regret it. If you want dessert I recommend a milkshake over the cakes, coffee is my favorite.

Chris Showalter

Great local watering hole that has a great selection of craft beer on tap.

Natasha Dubensky

Great food & great Waiter

Waited over 45 minutes for our food. Saw customers that car in after us receive their food before we did and there were only 2 otherother t occupied when we got there. One burger was cold when we did get out food, and the waitress was show in getting is refills.

Love the saucy fries. The sammiches are good. They are a direct knock off of Primanti Bros. and embrace it.

Matthew Haslett

I've had lunch here a few times and really enjoy the comfortable atmosphere, great food, and great service.

B B

This place has great service, great food and a great atmosphere. I will be back to try more on your menu. The staff was friendly and the service was great. The food is a very generous portion of food. I had the steak hoagie which was AMAZING! The fries are real cut fries. Very good. The prices are very reasonable as well, especially for the portion size you get. If you haven't tried this place, do yourself a favor and give it a go.

Kirsten Piatak

I inhaled their new Tri Tip Steak Sandwich before I could get a photo and loved it so much, this is now one of my top restaurants to go to. Always friendly, quick service and delicious food! Get this new tri tip sandwich!!

Jacob Mangalath

That Barry Bonds sammich is huge! and delicious. Apparently so is the Franco. Been here twice, skip the burgers, get the sandwiches.

Holly Edmondson

I been wanting to try this place for awhile now, finally got the chance too and was very disappointed. I went to Pittsburgh last week and had a great Pitt style sandwich at Primanti Brothers and steal city sandwich was soggy and I found plastic pushed onto my bread. I have also removed things off my sandwich that I made aware I did not want. And on top of that found a nice big egg shell in my egg. I got to taste the three 3 little pigs samich and the twisted pig burger, two completely different sandwiches and they tasted the exact same. No unique flavors. French fries was a disappointment too. Especially for the price I paid.

goober4ever86

I love how they always care how their customers meals are and take their time with their customers. Very professional and I absolutely love their food! I can't help but go back! Between the food and service I just love that restaurant so much!
