Driscoll & Sons Cafe

We go here at least once a month and have always had good service and great food! We recommend it to friends that want to try something new in the area. During the summer you can eat on the deck too which is awesome!

Will NEVER go back. Tried this place again due to a semi-​positive experience the last time I went and wanted to support a local business in a sea of nothingness. No improvements over last visit, and in fact, something unforgivable took place. It wasn’t as crowded and service was quick to seat us and take drink orders. Salad and bread came in OK time and it was all very good. We waited too long for entrees. When they did finally come, as in the last time, one of the dishes had temperature issues. It was their «blue bbq chicken.» The taste was great, but it was mostly lukewarm and even cold in spots. The major problem dishes were the chicken piccata and the veal piccata. The sauces were toxically salty. Not a little salty. Not even really salty. TOXIC SALTY… INEDIBLE SALTY. The people I was dining with get nervous about complaining but I assured them that if I were the manager I would want to know. So they asked to speak to the manager. I don’t know this guy’s name and to quote his Western PA accent, «Um not innerested in knowin’ it neither.» What an idiot. First, it was clear he did not want to come to the table to hear a complaint. Being the typical Western Pennsylvania manchild type, he shot nervous and even rude glances until he finally mustered the courage and came sauntering over with a very noticeable chip on his shoulder. We explained the salty situation. He sighed and said condescendingly, «It’s hard to cook something right without salt these days.» ??? Whaaaaaat??? I smiled and answered, «No no no… this isn’t a little salty this is inedible salty.» He was unmoved and acted as though there was nothing he could or would do about it. How do you develop an attitude like that? Do you hate your job that much? Were you raised by wolves? When momma wolf dragged home a stinking rotting carcass for you were you expected to gobble it down without complaint? We once again gave the chorus of how ridiculously salty the dish was. nothing. I said, «look this had the potential to be a great dish, but it was abjectly ruined with salt.» … nothing but more stiffening, bristling, and dumb-​dumb machismo. He didn’t understand what I said at first, probably because I used words with multiple syllables. When I asked him over and over to try it for himself and see for himself, he rudely and coldly stated, «Um not innerested in tastin’ it.» He did offer to take ONE of the meals off the bill. My very elderly father quickly blurted out, «No no we don’t want anything free.» Well… I DID want him to credit both meals since they were both inedible, but my father spoke and we were compelled to sit in uncomfortable silence. He took advantage of my father’s gaff and said, «OK then, I hope you come back,» and walked away briskly. What a tool. CLEARLY he is uncaring about this business or the food. There wasn’t ANY apology even a perfunctory one. There wasn’t ANY remorse. He said he would «taste it out back» at one point… oh yeah? When? Later when it doesn’t matter? It is totally sickening to go to a restaurant and have them deliver TOXIC food and expect you to pay for it without complaint. A simple sincere apology and a gesture of good faith would have been heartily welcomed. We could have walked out the door with no bill credits and STILL been happy if he hadn’t been anything less than an idiot. But, he apparently wanted to inform us all very clearly of his assholish and rigid stance against customers, and he succeeded mightily. If you go and get one of the piccatas… take extra blood pressure medicine and pray you don’t die, and given the food temperature issues, you might pray for immunity to foodborne illnesses too. I’ve spent many years traveling and I could fight off just about anything… thank god.

Came by for lunch while riding the GAP Trail and breakfast three days later. Best food on the GAP Trail

The handful of times I’ve been here, I always feel so welcomed by the staff. Very friendly!
Every meal I’ve tried has been delish!

An unexpected culinary delight in Sutersville! What an unexpected delight and a great addition to eateries in the area. We went for dinner about 6 months ago and were very happy with the quality hamburger on burger night. We saw some pictures of their nightly specials on Facebook recently, went down and were hooked. The dinner specials are something you might expect from a restaurant in Downtown Pittsburgh. Yes, that good. But it’s not only the great presentation. Their food is excellent and the portions are HUGE! We’ve been there about 4 times in the past 2 weeks and we are pleased each time with something new and delicious. If you are in the area, treat yourself to a great meal. My guess you will have a take-​out box when you leave with lunch for tomorrow.

We had the worst experience this past Sunday. There were 3 other table besides our table We ordered our food and didn’t get it for about a half an hr, when we did get our food it was all cold and potatoes were not cooked and no blueberries in my husbands pancakes. The waitress offered to bring some blueberries out and cook my potatoes more. The table next to us got their food which was also sent back bc of it being cold and they got my husbands pancakes. We asked to see a manager and was told that there wasn’t one available at that point made the comment that he didn’t understand why there was such a problem cooking for 4 tables. The waitress turned around and asked him if he would like to try it then. Very unprofessional staff, food temps not good and the jelly was expired

There is a lot of hype about this place in the area. I went with high hopes after reading the glowing reviews online.
I guess for the area it is an exciting addition. Unfortunately, I found it to be one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.
From the brightly lit atmosphere to the white dense bread and what tasted like vegetable oil for dipping to the overly oily french onion soup and completely tasteless overcooked entrée, the only good thing I can say about this place is the bartender makes a pretty good slightly dirty martini.

Had a terrible experience tonight. Will not be returning. 2 of the four of us were brought our meals a good ten minutes before the other 2 received theirs. Ordered steak medium rare and received it rare and cold. They fixed the problem by microwaving the steak and ruining it. Sides were cold. Asked for bread and they brought out a hotdog bun sliced up and charged me a dollar for it! Had to ask for silverware. Restrooms were dirty and door was not working properly. Ruined my evening.

Clean, new, quaint, and friendly with generous portions and very fair prices. Food allergy friendly. Salads, in particular, were good and the menu states that you need to REQUEST iceberg!
Only downside is that the menu could be expanded to include a few more entrees. But I am nitpicking here and I sincerely hope this place, which I was told is only slightly more than a year old, thrives.

Full bar and great food… happy hour specials. Tuesday pasta nite. Wednesday wing nite. Thursday burger and BBQ nite. Friday fresh seafood Saturday specials. And great breakfast on Sundays served till 1

What a pleasant surprise! One might not expect to find a place of such quality and atmosphere nestled in the «boonies» as some might call it, but Driscoll’s is terrific. Fresh, inspired food from start to finish. My wife raved about the cheddar soup, and her eggplant dish. My ribs were expertly done. Tasty sides plus piping hot bread with oil and a fresh salad made the whole dinner fantastic. The service was friendly and helpful (thanks Nadine!) and the prices are so very reasonable. I’m almost embarrassed to admit we live 10 minutes away and just discovered this place. We’ll definitely be back!

What a great night at Driscoll’s. Very tasty menu with daily specials. Open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The portion sizes are awesome and the bread with sun dried tomato dipping oil is to die for. I can’t wait to go back and try a sandwich. I had yummy eggplant parm … watch a massive bananas foster dessert go by while we were eating. Wanted to order it but couldn’t fit in another bite! Great find in a very small river town.

My husband and I have eaten here a number of times since it opened in March, 2013. The servers have been friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We have tried many of their menu items and have never been disapopointed. The portions are large — I always take some home! We have found that the specials that are offered are a step above what you would receive elsewhere. The shrimp primavera served over small pierogies was to die for! It’s not a fancy restaurant, but they have achieved the look they were going for — sort of like a train depot. You feel comfortable here — not pretentious. It’s rare that a new, family owned business opens in our area. This one is definitely worth supporting. Someone said it’s in Sutersville which is misleading. It is across the river from Sutersville, actually in Elizabeth Township, right behind The Yough Twister, which is also owned and operated by the Driscoill family. Give it a try — you won’t be sorry!

if you’ve never been to sutersville, let me paint you a picture. picture run-​down, railroad track, river-​hick town in the middle of nowhere.
then, out of the ashes rises driscoll and sons.
the restaurant is quite small and doesn’t look like much from outside, but then you get inside and the atmosphere is almost swanky, and intimate. with indoor and outdoor seating, there still aren’t many tables, but there is a small bar area as well, although i don’t think they serve alcohol.
the menu is surprisingly high class. delicious and fancy looking dishes, and kind of expensive. the portions are quite large and really really good though, so they are definitely worth the price.
the service was good as well, and they just started serving breakfast on weekends.
honestly, i never expected a place like this in a town like that. this is a place you would find in pittsburgh and deserves recognition for sure.
