T C Riley's Pub & Inn — Restaurant in Kingston Township

T.C. Riley’s Pub and Inn on Carverton Road in Wyoming, Pennsylvania offers a little something for everyone in terms of atmosphere and dining options.

We arrived around 6:30 P.M. on a Friday evening. Not aware that there was a dining room entrance, we entered through the barroom area, where, of course, there was a bar and surrounding tables. The bar was completely filled, so we were directed to go outside and enter through the dining room doors, which is about a 10-15 foot walk.

The atmosphere was completely different. The noise and liveliness of the bar was replaced by a much more cozy, quiet setting, with connecting rooms that hosted other patrons. The section where we sat had a gas fireplace, with a television on the wall above it silently broadcasting ESPN.

We were greeted by a friendly server, and we ordered a full tray (16 cuts) of Sicilian pizza, eight cuts of it arriving about 15-20 minutes later. The other half was reserved in a box, ready for us to take home or continue eating after if we wanted more, which didn’t prove to be the case. The pizza – which included onions – was thick, filling, and very tasty, with a crispy bottom and a soft center.

A bit of a warning for the cholesterol-conscious: although delicious, the pizza is VERY greasy, so one may want to absorb some of the grease with a napkin. Indeed, by the time we arrived home with the second half, the grease seeped through the wax paper and even through some of the cardboard. I can hardly imagine what the grease content of their meat pizza – with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon, as well as ham – would look like.

The menu has a wide variety of bar food. Their appetizers include fries, mozzarella sticks, and onion rings, among other choices. T.C. Riley’s also serves nachos, wings, strombolis, quesadillas, burgers, soups, salads, subs and sandwiches. I wouldn’t be opposed to returning and trying some of these other selections. Again, it attracts a very large crowd (at least on Fridays), and although there was a sprawling parking lot, it was difficult trying to find a spot. One should give it a try; not only can one choose the food they want, but as previously mentioned, also an atmosphere in...

This was my first time ordering from the restaurant and I'm not sure if I will go back. Ordering was a challenge because they didn't have what was on their menu (no grilled or fried chicken sandwich, only a chicken tenders sandwich that I could make at home). I know my order was taken correctly because it was repeated back to me. When I got the food home it was not the way I ordered it (mayonnaise on both burgers and toppings I didn't want). The burgers and fries tasted good, although some of the fries were undercooked.

If I order food again, I will check the boxes before I leave and send it back if it's wrong. Definitely not a good...

I have always loved going here for all the reasons everyone has listed, however I recently walked in and smelled a very strong scent of the glass washing machine. After ordering a draft it was undrinkable because of strong odor. I was given a frosted glass which was fine. The next glass was also very overpowering with washing machine chemicals. Everyone at my table could smell it. The bartender replaced with another frosted glass which was fine. She then told me that I was the only one that had that problem. I realize it is very difficult for uniformity in the restaurant business. I hope that it was a one time problem, as I have always...
