One night I was on the other side of town, a long way from home, and had an hour to kill before an appointment. I walked into The Ugly Dog Saloon because I saw it and liked the name. The parking lot was crowded, so I figured, "popular place." All of the tables were filled, and I managed to find one empty seat at the bar. They had a nice selection of beers on their taps, so I ordered one of my favorite IPAs and some buffalo wings and fries from a very pretty lady at the bar. I was shocked at how fast they came out of the kitchen. I figured I'd be waiting a long time for my food because of how crowded the place was, but in under five minutes I had a plate full of hot and crispy wings, and some exceptionally crispy fries. They were those batter coated fries, and I ate every last one of them. I tried another microbrew that I hadn't ever had before and asked for my check from a very polite, and very tall, young man working behind the bar. I was stunned at how low my bill was, but I had come during one of their wing night specials. I left an extra large tip, and decided that this was the kind of place that I'd like to come back to. The next time I visited, it was with a friend, and it was "a hockey night in Pittsburgh." The place was once again packed, and we had to stand for a little while before somebody left and we got a seat. Once again, the bartenders took care of us right away, and the food came out super quick, and the wings were delicious. I've only been to this place three times, and every time I've had a good experience. It can be a little on the loud side in there, but that's because there are lots of people in the room, and it's a large room. Maybe next time I'll try something else besides the wings, but I must say that their wings and fries are excellent, and the tap...
Read moreThis has to be by far one of the most infuriating places that I have ever gone. The only reason that we have continued to go there is for the pool tables. The service is beyond horrible, with the short, pudgy, frizzy dark haired one that works in the afternoons. You can always find her in the far back corner smoking with people that she knows. You will literally have to walk over to where she is to ask for a drink and then she huffily puts her cigarette down and give you a face. Ok.....I tolerated if for some time, but yesterday was the best when I waited ten minutes to pay my bill.....she still never came over so I said from the other end of the bar, CAN I PLEASE PAY MY BILL???? She rolled her eyes and said "there are other people here you know....not just you!!!!". Last I checked a cigarette is not a paying customer. I said nothing further and said "there are other places you can go you know.....you don't have to come back!". If I were the owner of manager, I would not think twice of firing her.....UNBELIEVABLE. Who, first of all talks to anyone like that, much less a regular paying customer???? Oh yeah, in addition, the food is terrible, all that they have are high shelf/priced vodkas and no olives. Really? No olives. Does anyone else know of any places in the Greentree area that have pool tables? I will gladly go there regularly and tell EVERYONE I...
