El Diablo Brewing Co. & Wood Fired Kitchen — Restaurant in Greensburg

Great place to check out if you’re in the area of Greensburg, PA.

do note, prices are set the way they are because you are getting great tasting food. don’t want to say cheap, BUT I also am not saying you will spend millions. Great place to take a first date and share a few apps and check out some good beers.

I am pretty particular when it comes to what I want, there were four options and couldn’t make up my mind, so I left it into the hands of the gentleman behind the bar. (Said out of the lot of 4 whatever YOU pick is fine with me) the salmon came to my spot at the bar and I was pleasantly impressed with the plating and the overall helping and proportion of the dish. The garlic butter on top of the fish was melting before my eyes so I quickly gave the salmon a two butter up and down and then removed it placing it with the green beans and mashed potatoes.

While I can’t be as articulate as Anthony Bourdain I will say this. Everything about this dish came together when the butter melted and meshed perfectly into the mashed potatoes giving the overall texture a creamy finish. With every slither out of the fish then making my way to the mashed potatoes and lastly the green beans became a perfect bite of all three textures and flavor. (The butter was not the taking over the the flavors of the sides and the salmon) the char on the salmon was perfect which gave a slightly char taste one would get off a bbq or even a cedar plank if you have ever cooked fish on one.

The one problem I did end up having was that I also am a creature of habit, so finding something else on the menu next time I go back will be challenging. My last visit I had requested to speak to the chef however he had just made his way out as the dinner rush was over which is totally fine, I will get another opportunity to pick his brain and ask him what to try next.

Do go for yourself though, I am sure this will be the spot locals and others will flock to since they do have outdoor seating.

Parking is a bit treacherous, but it is what it is.. you’ll understand why when you walk in and see this place packed full of people at the bar and at every...

I slept on this place too long thinking it was just pizza and beer, that's definitely not it.

The menu has a fusion flair, lots of inspired weekly items, good mixed drinks, and live entertainment.

I can definitely recommend whatever their pineapple mezcal drink was, very good. The ceviche paired well with it as it was a tuna and pineapple dish, however the portion was a bit small, basically a salsa dish and it was served with tortilla chips which didn't really physically fit into the dish, but again the pineapple and salt from the chips paired nicely to the drink. Two of us got the ramen du jore with lack luster initial impressions as the broth was very mild, however as the pork shoulder, yolk from the poached egg, bits of the fried grit ball, and cream from the coleslaw combined with the fatty bacon and pork broth the dish came together. The ramen noodles were on point. I wouldn't call it traditional and the broth didn't approach the clarity of a consommé, but it was very good and very filling. One of group got the flank steak and it was cooked to the proper temperature requested with a very thin sear line, looked good.

The restraunt had a sort of modern industrial feel and the bar looked nice, however if I were to nitpick I'd say there were some seemingly unorganized items stacked on top of an area just behind the stage. There was a guitarist/singer performing more melodic versions of popular songs who was quite good, but it was far too loud. We had about the farthest table from the performer and I couldn't understand anyone at the table without leaning in and them essentially yelling. For an acoustic show that's just too loud.

The restaurant was only at maybe third of capacity and there was no parking, so either show up on a slow day or you might want to prepare for a walk or Uber. There is an outdoor patio which looked nice, but we ate inside.

Excited to come back...

5 Stars - A Fiery Gem: El Diablo is a Must-Visit!

El Diablo delivers an experience that is truly almost perfect. From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in a very unique and beautiful atmosphere that elevates the entire dining experience.

The restaurant's design is thoughtfully executed, providing a large and inviting indoor dining area as well as a great outdoor seating area for warmer evenings. A standout feature is their large, private event room—a stunning space enclosed with windows that makes it ideal for any special gathering.

Exceptional Food & Drink The food is the heart of El Diablo, and they excel here. Everything we ordered was hot, fresh, and arrived reasonably fast, a testament to their efficient kitchen. While they offer a wide array of options, their specialty is clearly the pizza, which is baked in a large, central wood-fired oven. The sheer number of creative pizza options alone is enough to warrant a return visit! The bar offers another unique touch with both beer and wine on tap—yes, wine on tap!—which is a fun, modern feature.

Wonderful Service The outstanding service rounded out the evening perfectly. A special thank you to our server, Savanah, for her wonderful service and attentive, friendly demeanor.

The Only Small Hurdle The single drawback to an otherwise flawless experience is the parking situation. The lot is quite small, offering only about a dozen spaces, and its proximity to a highly traveled road makes it genuinely difficult to navigate. Guests should plan for this minor inconvenience.

In Summary: Despite the parking issue, El Diablo is a highly recommended dining destination. I look forward to returning soon to dive deeper...
