The Road Side — Restaurant in Armstrong Township

If I were just reviewing the food, this place would've gotten a 5 star review. However, questionable business practices are why I only gave one star. Two adults and two kids in our party - we ordered a burger, a chicken salad, a 10" Hawaiian pizza, a kid's chicken tender meal, and three sodas and a juice. $67 was the total. I thought that was a little high, given the prices in the menu, but I didn't want to get into it, I just wanted my food. The receipt I got didn't itemize everything, either (should've been a red flag). Turns out, I should've questioned it. EVERYTHING beyond the item ordered costs extra at this place. I figured this out after receiving our food and asking for BBQ (the kid's chicken tender meal didn't come with any sauce other than the ketchup on the table) and ranch dressing for the salad (my wife asked for sweet & hot for the chicken on her salad, and it came as the dressing in a cup on the side, so she wanted actual salad dressing as well). $1.75 for TWO OUNCES of BBQ and $3.00 for FOUR OUNCES of ranch dressing. I didn't realize that until I was handed a bill for it to pay on top of what we already paid. Now I understand why the initial charge was so much more than I thought it should be. Nobody once mentioned that everything was going to cost extra, and nowhere was it posted that was the case either. That's pretty shady, if you ask me. If you don't mind this sort of thing, the food is actually really good - but be aware that you'll likely be paying way more than the listed...

adorable little place with a charming atmosphere. my brother and i went on wing night, and even though it was pretty busy, we didn’t wait unreasonably long to be attended to at all. service was friendly and welcoming. we started with their smoked mac&cheese as an appetizer, made in house, and it was absolutely amazing. some of the best mac i’ve ever had. the jumbo wings were awesome, both in quality and in price. $15 for 10 jumbo wings, which is actually 20 wings by how most places serve wings, and it’s plenty. i got half mild buffalo and half butter garlic, both sauces were good quality and applied liberally. the meat was very good for a wing, unexpectedly juicy and flavorful. they have additional options like extra crispy. i didn’t get extra crispy, my brother did, and we were both happy. the steak fries were delicious as well. overall, great place to enjoy hot classic american food that i chose at random when i was bored looking at google maps, what a pick though:) will definitely be back, i’m thinking about trying their ribs, with the in-house sauce. can’t really think of any negatives, rather than maybe seating space, but between that and the huge kitchen, i think the quality of the food speaks for itself; they know what they’re doing and seems to me it’s working...

Great food! My daughter had the kids whole wings (butter and garlic with parmesan) and tots and I had the pulled pork sandwich with crinkle fries and queso. The food came out hot and perfectly crisp for the fried stuff. The tots had a seasoning that really set them apart from other tots. My daughter loved them. And the wings were juicy, crispy, and well-seasoned. My pork sandwich was amazing! I got Swiss, lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions on it with the house BBQ sauce on the side. The pork was juicy, hot, and smoky in the best way! The house BBQ sauce had distinct notes of mustard up front. Normally I'm not a mustard person but it complimented the pork and toppings perfectly! The crinkle fries were lightly seasoned and crisp. Perfect for dipping in the queso! Will definitely...
