"Parking lot was full when we arrived. Seated promptly. Order taken after specials were given. Food and drinks arrived promptly. Great portion sizes."

- Diana C.

"Good first time visit recently. Was highly rated online for the Pittsburgh salad, so we decided to give L&I a try. For an appetizer, we got the dip (called Grandpa or Pappy's dip or something- sorry I forgot the name) which is one of their specialties. If I remember, it had sausage and cheese and it was delicious- would highly recommend. My husband got a sausage pizza and I got the Pittsburgh salad. Their pizza has a nice soft dough with a sweet sauce- we both really liked it. Their ranch dressing is delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my salad and though it looks small-moderate in size, it was actually a really deep bowl and much too large for me to finish. The chicken on it was really nice and the fries were good. A good Pittsburgh salad, but not the best I've had. I would appreciate some croutons on top in addition. The service was friendly and prompt. The decor is a little... stark... but fine for the type of venue. Overall, a recommend!"

"This was a very last-minute option, but I have no regrets whatsoever. Searching for some late night eats, this establishment was open. Plenty of parking, a good amount of seating, and friendly staff here to serve you. I was skeptical on the food, but our server mentioned a special on a pizza, which we jumped at. There was even a special on a sandwich which was very good and not overwhelming. I just had to get their chips and homemade French onion dip. I'm not much of a potato chip person, but here, they had me. Consistency was great, not crazy salty, and perfect dip. Seriously, I could eat those bad boys all day. It's one of the places where you aren't expecting much but they hit you in the sweet spot. I didn't realize how hungry I was, and I kept eating. American style bar/ restaurant, homely and filling. I'm sure if you are from around these parts, you have probably heard of or been here before. If you haven't yet, just go. Give it a shot. Or two."

"Where do I start. My wife and I used L & I's to cater her family reunion. The reunion is over. We could not be happier with everything. Setting up the menu. Great to work with. I had the Italian roast beef and the meatballs. Awesome. They delivered and set up. Prompt and professional. I could not recommend them any better."
