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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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.
