    So happy I finally got to eat at Hal's recently.  I had heard great things, but being from the South Hills I rarely am in the area to stop.  Just from pulling up I knew I was going to love the place based on the way it is setup.  It has a really cool looking outdoor patio area, with plenty of seating.  The inside was very nice too, very clean and modern looking.  On top of the great atmosphere, our service from start to finish was great!

    For my meal I went with the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich and fries.  The chicken was cooked perfectly.  Juicy and tender.  The buffalo sauce on the sandwich had a great flavor and paired really well with their ranch, which I got on the side.  The fries were also delicious.  Everyone in my group loves their meals.  I had some of my wife's Chipotle Turkey Club and would highly recommend this as well.

    The menu at Hal's is so diverse and has so many options.  I can't wait to come back and try some of the other meals.

    Do you want to watch the game without the assistance of hearing aids? Do you want to need hearing aids in the future? Hal's is just the place you've been searching for!

    Food was okay and inexpensive.

    Hal's has always been a good place to grab a beer and some food. I do have have to say if you are going to order jalapeños ranch's chips then get them to eat at the restaurants and box to go home. I got these chips to go and they were half, no maybe a quarter of what we got when we ate in the restaurant a week ago.  Poor, poor portions on the take out.

    5/5 rating for Hal's. Great food and drinks! They have an outside patio area with tables, as well as plenty of table and bar seating inside. They are connected to a bottle shop, which is great for a late night 6 pack takeout.

    First, the positive stuff. Our server was very friendly. My wife really enjoyed their wings. I had a burrito which was just alright, but it met my expectations.

    My main issue with Hal's is the passive aggressive attitude the kitchen obviously has. We ordered pepperoni rolls since others online had said they were excellent. Initially, they came out almost raw and were VERY doughy/under-cooked. The server was very understanding and returned them to the kitchen.

    The second time they came out, they were burned to a crisp. Again, our server was very friendly and immediately agreed the new rolls were outright burned. She removed them from our final bill, but the overall experience left a very bad taste in my mouth.

    At its best, Hal's was an underwhelming experience. There are tons of sports bar/pub grub places in the area. The poor attitude of a kitchen not owning up to their mistake makes me never want to give Hal's another penny.
