Long Story Short: Reviews & Ratings
Great meal and I can’t say enough about the helpful and friendly staff! They went above & beyond for fulfill a special request. Incredible Cobb salad was very satisfying. Lunch vibe was very laid back. So happy to have found this spot.
Super cool offshoot of Cinderland brewery. We stopped in for a snack and a beer, so only tried the tater tots and chicken fries. We sampled three beers and really enjoyed them all. Fun surprise to find a mini arcade upstairs! Back room has a pool table, darts, and free jukebox. Lots of character and great beer.
Amazing Italian Sandwich. Smash burger is great. Excellent tap beer. For a 3 day visit to Pittsburgh, we ate here 3 nights in a row! My wife is a gourmet cook and she appreciated every dish.
The food was amazing . Great burgers and I love the mac n chz. Caroline did a wonderful job. We will be back again.
It was a great place to relax after a concert. They have a good selection of cocktails (mixed or canned), beers, a few ciders and wines. I didn't get a chance to try their food because the kitchen closed before I arrived. They have a pool table and pinball.
Came here after work to order takeout because I wanted a bite to eat. I got the turkey sando and the tots and let me tell you I was impressed! I was skeptical about the hummus being on the sandwich and originally asked for it to be made without but i’m honestly glad that they ended up putting it on there because it took it to a whole new level! The vibe of the place was also a plus, really down to Earth!
Wife was getting her nails done so decided to check out a spot we pass a block or two up from the shop - Long Story Short which is part of Cinderlands. I got the Gringo Gyro - marinated flat iron steak, roasted corn, pickled peppers, cilantro and a pepper vinaigrette. This was absolutely awesome and watching them make the meatball with Mac and cheese sandwiches and the smash burgers I really want to try a ton of stuff here. My wife got the turkey sub - roasted turkey, roasted carrots, scallion, harissa hummus, avocado, cilantro and manchego she really loved it and said it had a strong pop of flavor. Overall really awesome place we will be back!
So glad I picked to go to this bar! Absolutely delicious drinks, wonderful sandwiches, great atmosphere. So excited to come back and enjoy some of the combos, the pool table, the jukebox, and the pinball machines. A place with a lot of character, and really worth the time to check out.
