Editorial Review for Armstrong's – by Sam Edelmann
The Scene
Located in Caste Village in Whitehall, this place is always busy with families out for a good-value meal. There are often sizable waits, especially at peak hours on weekends, and people whiz in and out with takeout orders.
The Food
The salads are crisp and chock-full of juicy tomatoes and vegetables, and the order of lasagna is the size of a briefcase. Buffalo wings are tasty and not too spicy, while the club sandwiches should be held together with steel rods instead of toothpicks. Pasta dishes at most places are large, but here they are large and deep and more than most mortals can handle. Service, once you get seated, is amazingly good considering the turnover. The management believes that people should get what they pay for, and they strive to deliver on that belief.

What is all the fuss about. All I hear from everyone is how great this place is. Aside form the big portions, I don't get it. Especially considering the long wait if you go there during the dinner hour. You are better off going across the parking lot to Fritsch's. Just my opinion!
Pros: You can wait in the bar when they are busy
Cons: They are always busy - I don't know why???

This is a family favorite and for good reason. The food is always awesome and the portions are extremely large- never left without several doggie bags! The kids love it because there is so much to choose from. Me- I stick with the meatball calzone (MMMMMM!) or the salds (HUGE!) My husband loves the seafood! Have always had great service and everyone is friendly from the greeters to the wait staff to the busboys! Never rushed through our meal! Love to use Armstrong's to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Celebrated the adoption of my children at Armstrongs! It's become a favorite family tradition!
