Greasiest Food Ever!a
by theproverbialline at Citysearch
Horribly greasy food. I ordered what was supposed to be a "grilled chicken breast" according to the menu. It was the healthiest looking thing on the menu, so I thought I'd take the safe route. Everything else on there chicken-wise was listed as "breaded and fried." Well, the "grilled" apparently means "breaded and fried with extra butter." What I got was a pile of fried chicken covered in cheese and two strips of bacon; the oil oozed out of the breast when i cut into it and left a greasy mess on my plate. The waitress said that the owner had made a mistake when he wrote "grilled." They took $5 off of the meal, but really should have wrote the whole thing off. I barely touched it. Oh, and their "buttered carrots" were dry and shriveled (obviously microwaved." My partner's meal of crabcake (on top of breaded and fried chicken breast) tasted "funny" according to him. I got stomach issues immediately after getting home. Please... save yourself the trouble unless you have a cast iron stomach and a death wish.
- Pros: Cheap
- Cons: You get what you pay for...even hours later.

Distinct Average
by pghbreakfasthunter at Citysearch
The shame is that this place can be listed on a breakfast website (city guide aol com /pittsburgh/bestbreakfast) as one of the best. It is clearly an average to middling establishment. Everything is standard and unoffensive. I will say that our waitress completely forgot about us in between bites of her own breakfast sandwich. The ham was real good. But overall nothing extraordinary. My partner says, flatulently, "it was alright."
- Pros: Unoffensive
- Cons: Boringly traditional

Crowded and Noisy
by vshonka at Citysearch
I've visited the Rusty Nail on various occasions. There are two (2) issues that stand out that make this restaurant an unenjoyable experience. The place is so small that the tables are crowed together that you bump into the persons that are sitting beside you at another table. You literally can't be comfortable. Because of this, the noise is so loud and you can't help from listening to the conversations around you. The waitresses are not friendly at all! They all seem to be angry, mainly because they have to work in a hostile environment. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant if you want to come in and enjoy your meal in peace. If you don't have a headache coming into the restaurant, you will have one when you leave.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service, Seating and Noise
