Reviews The Alcove

A Unique Burger Experience at The Alcove in Greentree, Pennsylvania Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Alcove in Greentree, Pennsylvania, and my experience left me with a mix of delight and a slight longing for more. Despite visiting during an off-peak period, between 2 pm and 4 pm, I was treated to a unique opportunity that made my visit truly memorable. The ambiance of The Alcove is cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and tasteful decor that sets the stage for a comfortable dining experience. The staff, while minimal during the quiet hours, were attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the overall atmosphere. What truly stood out for me was the chance to recreate an old burger that had once been a hit on the menu. The Alcove not only accommodated my request but also allowed me to step into the shoes of a chef, making the dining experience interactive and engaging. The attention to detail and willingness to accommodate personalized requests certainly elevated my visit. While I didn't get the full spectrum of the restaurant's offerings due to the off-peak timing, the quality of the food I did experience was impressive. The burger I recreated was a nostalgic delight, showcasing the chef's commitment to preserving the essence of their culinary history. The menu, although I only scratched the surface, appeared diverse and appealing, with a range of options for various tastes. I look forward to returning during peak hours to fully explore the extensive offerings and savor the full Alcove experience. In summary, The Alcove in Greentree, Pennsylvania, offers a charming ambiance, friendly service, and a willingness to go the extra mile to make your dining experience special. My unique opportunity to recreate an old favorite added a personal touch that made this visit stand out. I recommend giving this hidden gem a try and suggest timing your visit during peak hours for the complete Alcove experience.

Staff was very friendly and the food was awesome. Ate there twice while staying at the Holiday Inn. First time I got the fish sandwich and chips and the sandwich was pretty big and tasted good as well as the chips. Second time I got the BBQ bacon burger and it tasted great. Hope to go back some day soon.

What’s for lunch? (Friday: January 12, 2021) 🍽 Chicken pesto Panini, french fries and a sprite! I also order a pulled chicken salad with chips (I didn’t take a picture of it though 🤷🏽‍♀️) This is one of my favorite lunch places. Great food, great people at a good price! This is my favorite chicken pesto panini sandwich. The pesto is creamy goodness. Their french fries are ridiculously good! The sandwich is very good & I don’t have any issues with the chicken. I hardly ever drink pop but every once in a blue moon I’ll have one. The pull chicken salad is very popular!!! I love it! 💕 I get chips to go with it since that’s how I had to to start & now it’s the only why that I like it! Their chips are like Burgatory’s but better. They are made fresh. You could also get it in sandwich form. Bon appétit 😋

Stayed at the hotel next door to here. Best fries. Chill atmosphere. Food was great. Lunch is busy but oh so worth it. Came back to Pittsburgh recently and waited for the doors to open to eat and make sure I took fries back home. If you are in town. Definitely stop by.

The GF and I came here for dinner a bit after 5PM on a Wednesday. Parking wasn't an issue and the restaurant was nice, open, and clean. Our bartender/waitress was prompt and nice. We both got burgers and fries which we both really enjoyed. While I only got water, the beer selection looked pretty decent. The only downside (not even a downside) was that it wasn't too busy. Hopefully more people hear about this spot and check it out!

Happened by since we were staying at the Holiday Inn next door for a weekend getaway. The four of us went in for dinner and ended up staying for hours on Friday 09/09/2022. The mixed drinks are downright cheap and made well. There happened to be Karaoke that evening and typically not a fan of this at all, but they had some real talent show up. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Amy our server was wonderful. The food was great and we also had a few appetizers. The bill for four of us was unbelievably inexpensive for what was consumed over a 6 hour period. We went to go back on Saturday evening , but the live music was so loud that we didn't even walk all the way in. Sorry, the band sounded fine, but people do like to still be able to talk amongst themselves without screaming into the ear of those they came with. If you like music so loud it thumps your chest, this is the place on a Saturday. If not, try another time than a Saturday night, as you will enjoy the food, the service, and the more than reasonable costs.

Have only ever been here for lunch when you walk up to the rear counter to order food, and they’ll bring it to you after you seat yourself. My favorite place for chicken wraps and paninis!

Solid lunch counter. Nice staff. Good selection. The place was notably clean.
