Castle Tavern South

Well that’s that. We were huge fans of Castle Tavern in Castle Shannon and have enjoyed the South location many times, perfect place for an after baseball/​softball game. Tonight’s service was just slow slow slow as the owner looked on. To seal the deal as we’re leaving my 6 year old touched the game on the bar and the waitress actually had the nerve to reprimand her right in front of me. Way to make a little girl cry. That’s it.

Good food, excellent service. Great family friendly atmosphere. Pizza is excellent and there is a very good beer selection. Nice horse shoe bar. Great place to eat dinner or watch a game.

Great local bar. Order the wings and ask them to grill them. You will not be sorry and you’ll be back often, because it is a unique twist on a bar favorite!

Just got back from there and all I can say is wow. I ordered a hot sausage sandwich. It was supposed to have cheese, onions, peppers, and sausage. I get something back with mushrooms added (I hate them) and fries melted into the cheese. Not at all as depicted in the menu.
I asked for the menu to double check that I ordered correctly… I did. The kitchen staff couldn’t follow the menu. We then ask to talk to the «manager». Our waitress approached him while he was sitting at the bar.
The super genius looked up from his drink long enough to express he didn’t care. What he wasn’t aware of is that I was sitting right behind him and watched the whole interaction He then ran outside to smoke with his buddy while the waitress handled it.
If you own this place, find a manager who will do more than drink and hang out with friends. This was like a bar rescue episode. Bottom line, bad food, a wait staff looking for leadership, and a worthless «manager». Honestly who shrugs off a customer and leave a waitress to deal with it? All I wanted to do is tell the guy the waitress was great, and the menu didn’t reflect the food. Hope the cigarette and drinks were worth the review.

Bad. Just bad. Never ever try the ranch pizza. They don’t put any ranch on it whatsoever. It’s just cheese on bread. The service is not that good either

This past May I graduated college and moved to an apartment right across from Castle Tavern South. Being a recent college grad, of course I wanted a place to go unwind and have a few beers and some wings. Naturally, I walked across the street and found this place.
It’s built inside of an old pizza hut, which gives it a unique feel. They have a pretty solid selection of beers that rotates monthly and include many local pittsburgh breweries, like Church Brew Works and Rivertowne. They have pretty good selection of food, its all reasonably priced, the kitchen is open late and the staff is super friendly.
What I liked most was their wings. I had the garlic parm wings and they were great! The wings themselves had just enough crisp and were smothered in a delicious sauce. They also have some daily specials that include a quarter pound burger and fries for $ 3. You just can’t beat that.
Other than their wings and beer, there really isn’t much other reason to go here despite their best attempts at being a full restaurant. I do, however, do quite often to pick up a six or twelve pack– which they have a large selection of.

My boyfriend and I came here to watch the Penguins game Friday night since this is right down the street from his house. We arrived during the first intermission and managed to get the last two seats at the tiny, packed bar. The taps left much to be desired. They did have Cenntenial IPA so I went with that but if they hadn’t had that on tap, I would have been stuck with Yuengling (which is one of my beers of last resort). Looking over the menu, it has a lot of variety but it’s all just basic bar food. We decided to split a chicken quesadilla as an appetizer. Absolutely one of the worst I have ever had. Just chicken and cheese and the tortillas forming the quesadilla didn’t even stay together, making the dish very «floppy». It was just plain, boring, and basic. But I really wasn’t expecting much more that what we got. For meals, my boyfriend ordered a steak wrap with blue cheese crumbles. I ordered a greek chicken wrap (feta, tomatoes, onions, spinach, chicken). I’m not sure why they serve it with ranch dressing but there’s nothing Greek about the dressing served with the wrap to me. Both came with fries that were obviously frozen. They were tolerable dipped in ranch. The wrap wasn’t terrible but pretty flavorless-​aside from the ranch taste from the dressing. The bartender spent more time talking to his regulars than keeping our drinks full so service wasn’t great and we waited quite some time to order. It takes a lot for me to give a 1 star rating;I’d rate this experience a 1.5. Probably will not come back here or if we do, drinks ONLY and go someplace better for food.

Built inside of an old Pizza Hut this place has a weird feel to it. It’s certainly clean but it has a very bland atmosphere. The beer selection is slightly above average, but the prices were very reasonable.
Tried the jerk wings and they were fantastic, but the fries weren’t that great. Service wasn’t great It took a while to have our order taken and it wasn’t that busy. But to be fair when my order was taken the staff was always extremely kind and our food came swiftly.
Wing night is definitely worth going for but outside of that there are definitely better bars in the area.

We came here tonight for the first time and had a large group (8 adults, 8 kids.) I called ahead and even though they don’t take reservations, they were very nice about accommodating our group.
When I arrived, 2 tables were waiting for us and we had 2 waitresses assigned. I wish I could remember their names, because they fell over themselves waiting on us. Best service I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. Drinks were replenished before we could ask, and every request was happily honored.
The food was delicious, too. We started off with the appriopriately-​named killer fries. I had the sirloin steak wrap, and the steak was cooked perfectly (I asked for med-​rare.) My kids liked their food too. My bill was $ 40, and that included 3 beers.
We will definitely be back.

Tried the Castle Tavern South last night. Located in an old Pizza Hut location. The restaurant was clean, the service was good and friendly. The menu was mostly pub food like Pizza, Wings, Hoagies etc… Ordered pizza and a dozen wings (spicy parm sauce). The Pizza was very good! The wings were also very good but I would like to try some of the other sauces. They have some good beers on tap and a large selection of six packs to go. Definitely will be going back for wing night!
