1/25/25 Ate List: Cafeteria Chicken Patties - Score 7.8 LTO Burger - 7.4 Tots - 8.1 Hush Puppies - 7.2 First time here and it was absolutely delicious. The Cafeteria Chicken Patties are like perfect crispy chicken sliders. Could've crushed like 6 of them. So good! Love the Calabrian Mayo on here. The Burger was delicious as well. As far as smash burgers go, this was one of the better ones I've had. Never been the biggest fan of smash burgers personally but for there being 2 patties on the burger, it somehow still felt quite light. Very very good. The hush puppies were solid. A little bigger than I expected and wish I had something aside from the Malt Vinegar Mayo to dip. Felt very plain. Wish there was a sort of Chipotle Aioli or something tangy to pair with these. Last but not least. The TOTS. So good. The dust on these was unexpected but very welcome. They were addicting. Also very very light. Personally like a little more crisp to them but these were undeniably great. Definitely coming back.
Local Pittsburgh establishment with excellent food, service, beer and atmosphere. A major "Go to" spot for me and the wife.
Casual, laid back spot for beer, sandwiches, and pinball. Of course they have Cinderlands beer on tap and other great drink options, including cider and cocktails. I will say that while I miss the former Foederhouse, this place is a great replacement. Ordered at the bar and the food was served promptly. My husband and I split a salad and tater tots. The tots were super crispy and well seasoned. I got the Philly Roast Pork sandwich and my husband had the Italian. They both were good although I could have used a little more aged provolone on my sandwich. Side note - I'm originally from outside Philly and we like a lot of aged provolone on our pork ;) Be sure to check out the pinball machines upstairs. Always a good time!
Stopped in here to fuel up before going bowling at Arsenal Bowling. Asked the bartender for recommendations on the food and drinks- he didn't steer us wrong. We got the Chopped Cheese and the Smashburger. Both were excellent. Everything tasted good and the beers paired nicely with the food. We sat at the bar but there were a couple of other tables open- nice size place. We will most definitely return!
LSS makes a solid burger! For $11 it's on par with other places around the neighborhood. It was cooked and seasoned well and I liked that they added some seasoning to the shredded lettuce.
