Kosta’s Restaurant

Had a steak salad and coffee. The salad was good but a little small for me. The steak was perfectly done, however. Great service and the prices seemed fair.

Terrific food. Very friendly staff. We arrived in town and they welcomed us in at 7 p.m. even though they close at 7:30. Great place for dinner and very reasonably priced.

Boyfriend brought me here with the family for breakfast. Yummy food in a casual setting. Our waitress was very nice and service was fast. This is the place to hit up for a delicious and homey breakfast!

Had to knock them down a notch after ordering their lunch special — hot roast beef sandwich. It was served with instant potatoes and the beef was almost as dry as jerky. Potatoes out of a box is a shortcut that no restaurant should ever take. Shameful!

Food was amazing, service was pretty good and the coffee could definitely use some improvement.

Driving through Pa. Saw this place on Unilocal.What a hidden gem. Everything was awesome. Wait staff super friendly. Definitely a must try.

Only redeeming quality was the pretzel burger bun, otherwise average food at best.

Nice greasy spoon stuff. Good dinner specials and very family friendly. If you’re looking for breakfast food, fries or have your kids go there. If not head to Amici’s or Everyday Gourmet.

This place is always packed at lunchtime, but for the life of me, I can’t quite figure out why. I mean, it’s good… but not better than nearby Clark Powell’s! Kosta’s has passable buffalo chicken salad… but nowhere near as good as The Old Farm Inn in Carrolltown. I’ve been to Kosta’s several times but haven’t really found any «standout» menu items. Still, I have no complaints against Kosta’s. It’s a solid lunchtime choice in Ebensburg.

Admittedly, I haven’t had a whole lot from their menu. But what I have had, was great!
My favorite item is their Zesty Orange Chicken Salad. Sooooo yummy!
I’ve been told that they have some of the best hot wings around too. I’m going to get them the next time I dine there.
Service is okay. The waitstaff isn’t the most attentive but it’s not terrible. My order has been screwed up once or twice but when I bring it to their attention they’re always quick to admit their mistake and right a wrong, so kudos to them!
I’ll always keep coming back!

After Strike 1 at Castle Pub (literally no service) and Strike 2 at Off the Rak (burned down) we ended up at Kosta’s at the other end of the shopping center from Off the Rak. We walked in wondering if we were going to strike out on dinner tonight. We didn’t.
Kosta’s was the best meal I’ve had in Ebensburg so far. My order wasn’t anything unusual, burger, fries, wings and a soda. As simple as a meal gets, but Kosta’s did simple damn well.
The burger was a good size, juicy and cooked just right,
The fries were hand cut, hand been properly blanched, and then deep fried perfectly leaving them crisp on the outside and tender inside.
As for the wings, Kosta’s calls out their award winning on their menu and has Best of Ebensburg Ribbons on the wall for them. Being a wing junkie (and snob) I knew I was trying an order to see if they really stacked up or if this was another BS «Best of Ebensburg» title (see my Italian Village Unilocal) The wings came out and they were solid. The wings were a decent size, the sauce had good flavor, they had some kick to them not quite as hot as I prefer but OK. Comparing to the other wings I’ve tried around Ebensburg they were easily the best.
To top it all off we had 2 waitresses bouncing around making sure we had everything we needed and they were both sweethearts.
The only things keeping Kosta’s from that elusive 5^th star are that they apparently don’t have a liquor license (which is a shame because those wings would go perfectly with a cold beer) and the booths in the dining area were not made for guys over 6 foot.
So Kosta’s comes in with 4 well deserved stars. We will be back … often.
