The Olde Spitfire Grille

We came here for dinner for the first time, and I must say, wow! The food was awesome! And service was very good, ask for Carly! I had the special of the night, mahi mahi with a horseradish citrus sauce. The sauce itself was great, while the mahi mahi was cooked perfectly. My husband got the mixed grille, which was cooked perfectly medium. We were so happy with everything and will definitely be returning!

Had dinner there tonight with our family. The food is always very good. The quinoa salad and filet were great. The three star rating was again due to the service. Every time we’re here, the food and the atmosphere are great and the service is average at best. Tonight Ellie was our server and she was extremely rude to the family and an attentive to our needs. If they could just get their service in line, the restaurant would be great.

I’m updating my review because we’ve made several repeat visits since my first review, and while they still have an occasional odd moment, we’ve definitely had more hits than misses.
I’ll get the cons out of the way first:
–The flatbreads are gone.
–The mixed drinks can be very good, but are inconsistent. I’m guessing it depends on who is tending bar any given night.
–They have some good beer options, but the wine list is a bit limited.
–The sandwich bread needs a revamp, or maybe they need to have more than one kind. The salmon BLT was great on the inside and could have been a great dish, but the soft bread just didn’t work with it (it would have been fine on a burger or the pulled pork sandwich).
Pros (and why it’s worth making a repeat visit):
–Appetizers are consistently great. We’ve liked the peel and eat shrimp, coconut shrimp, and the pulled pork tacos, just to name a few.
–Salads are also a highlight. Their regular house salad is delicious, with enough toppings to be interesting but not enough to be overwhelming. The wedge salad and quinoa spinach salads are good, too.
–They have one of the better steaks in town. My husband usually gets either the smothered pork sirloin or one of the steak specials, and has always had a good meal.
–Really, we’ve never had a bad entrée here. I’m partial to the seafood pasta, and a friend gets the brisket every time, so it must be good. I haven’t tried the salmon since the menu got updated, but the old version was delicious.
–Sides: they have possibly my favorite fries in Greensburg. The garlicky green beans and the rice pilaf are solid as well.
Service can be inconsistent but is generally friendly, and we’ve never had any major problems. The atmosphere is nice– it’s classier than most casual places, but isn’t trying too hard, so you can make it work for a fancy date night, or show up in jeans. Prices are generally reasonable– most of the fancier entrees in the $ 20 range, with sandwiches and appetizers in the $ 10 range.
I’m glad we went back, and I’d definitely recommend it if we’re in the area.

I have been to Spitfire several times, and I am never disappointed with the taste, quality of the food, the experience, etc. Although, I have to say I did not give 5 stars due to the way sometimes the staff treats people when they come in on their version of «late» or «close to closing time» the website states they close at 10PM during the week, and 11PM on Saturdays, but this place dies down rather early compared to other restaurants in Greensburg like J Corks for example and I have seen them turn away business and people not even buy a drink and leave due to this.
I understand everyone wants to get home for their time, their families, etc. but the restaurant business livelihood depends on customer purchasing their food, and the waiter and waitresses depend on the tips; so to turn away people and tell them the kitchen is closed at 9:30 or treat them poorly at 7:30 on a weeknight and making them feel rushed and feel improper for ordering food is not the best business practice I have to say and they should steer their staff away from doing this & their staff talking in front of customers to hear about people coming in late etc & how they felt about the instances at that time.. Especially loyal customers who frequent and drop $ 50-​$ 100 every single time they visit tipping the staff over 20% each time.
For the food and the atmosphere, it is a very excellent dining experience. The food is absolutely phenomenal and never disappoints. I am always in awe and shock this restaurant is not busier than it should be for it’s outstanding and superb consistency for food. The prices being a slight bit higher than corporate places etc. is worth every penny literally.
Again, just disappointed with the lack of professionalism the staff emanates and displays to guests and in front of guests when people roll in at the times they do. Every business thrives off the customers and the customers seek the overall experience an establishment can offer them each time going hand in hand with the way the employees of the establishment treats customer. Just a tid bit from my own book of being in business and a business practice I have learned over the years.
Again no complaints in regards to the food, the cleanliness, the atmosphere overall, the quality, presentation, and taste of the foods. Other than the treatment towards customers coming in at times more towards later dining hours, the staff is always nice, inviting, and provides an excellent dining experience.

This is one of my «go to» restaurants. My wife and I have been eating here for over a year now and it’s always an excellent meal. If you go try one of their smoked meals; their beef brisket is amazing. It’s also the only place I’ve been that has spice hot coleslaw.

My wife and I ate here the first time last night. The layout and décor of the place is nice. We sat on the patio to enjoy the nice summer evening. Our table was nice once I found a suitable rock to stop the wine-​glass-​tumbling wobble in the table. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, though she never asked us what we thought of the food.
The food: We shared the Pulled Pork Nachos. My wife had the Bacon & Blue Cheese Wedge Salad (which she generally liked, but felt didn’t come with enough dressing … This from a woman who doesn’t like a lot of dressing on her salads), and the Linguini Frutti di Mar. I had the Blackened Salmon Sandwich.
The food review: The nachos were horrible. The pulled pork held promise because it had a nice smokey flavor. However, the below-​ballpark-​quality cheese-​product sauce covering the nachos saturated everything with its blandness. No cheese flavor I could detect. The only resemblance to cheese was the yellow food dye color so beloved by people who know nothing about cheese. This yellow sauce (I won’t call it cheese, since it clearly wasn’t) covered the nachos, with the other toppings dropped into a neat little pile in the center. Mainly, you ate yellow sauce covered nachos. For $ 10 I think customers expect better. My recommendation to the chef: visit an Atria’s and order the Pot Roast Nachos appetizer. Same price, same size, but with actual flavor. Maybe you’ll learn something.
My wife’s linguini: This ended up being the highlight of the meal. The sauce had a delicate flavor. The shrimp, clams and mussels were done perfectly, though the scallops were considerably overcooked and tough.
My Salmon Sandwich: Though marked in the menu as spicey, it was kind of bland. The bun on which it came was your garden variety grocery store hamburger bun masquerading as a Kaiser bun. The best part of this entre were the french fries.
The drinks: My wife wanted a white wine. The house chardonnay is Bota, of Bota Box fame, so she upgraded to the $ 8/​glass variety (name escapes us) which was bland. I have no idea why restaurant owners serve crappy wines at high prices. This tiny little glass was i’m sure no more than the standard 4oz pour. If we don’t like your wine, we won’t be back. A wine with flavor, like a Kendall Jackson, can give you an easy 6 pours per bottle for a gross of $ 48. Subtract the $ 15 cost (assuming no sale/​discount) and you still have a +200% profit … plus a happier customer.
The beer. My drink: other than a Dog Fish IPA, and some mystery beer sold at «market price» (???), the beer selection was pretty poor. Note to Executive Chef: you may have noticed that there is a beer-​brewing revolution happening in America. Get with the program!
Summary: The pulled pork hinted that perhaps this place does pork and beef better. The clams, shrimp and mussels were good. However, given the poor quality of the items we ordered, I doubt that I would be overwhelmed by the other items on the menu. Quality is a mindset. If it is lacking in one place, it is usually lacking everywhere. We spent $ 70 on food and drinks ($ 84 with tip). For the money, Greensburg has much better choices.

We frequent this restaurant at least once per month. The menu selection isn’t vast but the choices are very good. Chef puts thought and consideration into daily feature options. We really enjoy this place. Had a great gingerbread martini around Christmas time. So good. Staff is friendly and inviting.

I just want to say ‘THANK YOU’ to both Jerry and Ken for all their help with assisting me in my attempts to pull of a surprise party this past weekend! When I started researching venues to hold this private event, one of my first calls was to The Olde Spitfire Grille.
Living in Nashville and never having seen the venue or tasted the food, I was hesitant, but from day one, Jerry was so helpful and informative. He followed-​up with me regularly and allowed me to customize the menu, as well as the creative freedom with the rest of my needs! Once I was able to see the space (Stonewater Bar & Patio) and meet both Jerry and our awesome bartender, Ken, in person, I knew I had made the right choice.
During the party, my guests kept commenting on how yummy the food tasted (we had a cheese/​meat/​cracker platter, pulled pork sliders, sausage and cornbread stuffed mushrooms, and various types of their flatbread pizzas) and how awesome the venue was.
Jerry checked in on me a couple of times to make sure everything was going well and that my needs were being met, and Ken was amazing at «catering» to my sometimes silly requests (i.e. «turn the music up», «turn the tv to NASCAR, now back to the wall plate», etc — lol).
Every single one of my guests, as well as the guest of honor had such an amazing time. These guys really took care of us and I highly recommend booking your next party or event with them!
They are also bringing live music back to the Greensburg scene, which coming from Nashville, really appeals to me, and I can’t wait to make it back to see some of the artists and bands. Once this cold spell breaks, being able to sit outside on a nice spring/​summer night will really make this place a «can’t-miss» for the area!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Seriously… walked up at 10:22pm…told kitchen is closed. Website says ’til 11 or 12, depending on which page you read. Fortunately, DeGennero’s was still cooking.

I was in the area for an interview, and drove by. The exterior intrigued me with a big «best of» type sign. I walked in and the Ambiance was very dim, great for a first date and what not. The server was very polite, and took my order for take out. I asked for a Bacon cheeseburger and fries.
Sure enough, when I got back to my hotel, I had a cheeseburger with no bacon and it seemed a bit more uncooked than it should have been. Despite this, it was still a very scrumptious burger and it didn’t last very long. The Fries were some of the best I’ve ever had, and had the perfect amount of seasoning.
Perhaps if I had dined there, I would have been able to give 5 stars, but since a takeout order was messed up, and was still charged extra for the bacon, I can’t justify 5 stars.

Been here a few times this summer (liked this place as Zoso’s too). Menu is revamped and we’ve had several dishes so far — all really good. Smoked wings were different but a must try. Sat at the bar each time and bartender was very nice and attentive. She put our order in slightly wrong once (brisket meal vs brisket sandwich) and they apologized and took it off the bill. So I’m not sure about some of the service issues by other posters. If there’s a band get there early or reserve a table, the wait is 1−2hrs for patio seating. We got on the list once and 5min later told them to take us off and we sat inside. The hostess still came in later and said a table opened up, which was another example of good service! Will keep going here!

Visited last Saturday to enjoy the Sweaty Betty Blues Band that played from about 7 to 10 PM outside in the courtyard. The band, as always, was great — seasoned performers who know how to entertain without being overly loud — they respect that people also might want to talk to each other!
First time to this venue and it will not be the last — a bit a drive from my Cranberry address but well worth it.
Service — hostess and owners on site and helpful to everyonee.
Food — only had a small snak but the menu was inviting (and will be back).
Bartending — two people worked the outside bar — excellent attitude and service.
Patio area — tables with umbrellas and comfy chairs — all perfect for an afternoon /​evening get together.
I counted an outside group of 45 at one point.
Many people came for dinner to in the inside area of the Grille — great bar layout, fine seating, and again, ample staff.
I virtually never rate anything with a 5 without having repeat visits/​continuity — but on this occassion I do. One item that I am paying attention to more and more is whether facilities actually staff adequately for customer service and have staff that are trained in managing their clientele. The Olde Spitfire Grille excellent in both.
F8 and be there.

Nice outdoor area for relaxing listening to a live band and enjoying a nice meal. Good was decent but fries were burnt. Would go back again.

Leave yourself plenty of time to eat here.
I’m an out of town Unilocaler who was trying to get to Zozo’s which used to be at this location unless an address is wrong somewhere. Every Unilocaler loved that Zozo’s. My family of 4 arrived at 5pm. It took an hour to get a salad, chicken tenders with fries for the kids [there is no kids menu (!), but they were willing to make some chicken tenders for us] a bowl of average chili and a crab cake. The crab cake was excellent, but the rest wasn’t worth the wait. I had a local All Saints beer which was OK, but I think I’d have something else if I ever went back, which probably won’t happen.

Well, I am almost 30 and I got carded with my parents. 40 minutes for drinks and orders and the place was half empty. Smoked chicken was dry and the place just re-​opened. The waitresses lack of excitement for the barbecue, which is the everything on menu, didn’t help their case.
