If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you should check out the Tipsy Cauldron pop-up! And if you’re not, it’s still totally worth it. The atmosphere is a perfect escape with great music, the coolest decor, and the friendliest staff. The food and drinks have the cutest presentation & they taste even better!

I went to The Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids and it was such a fun, unique experience! This was my first time at a harness race, and I was blown away by the energy, the tradition, and how much there is to take in. From the starting gate to the final race, the day was packed with excitement. I even got to go behind the scenes to see the paddock and ride in the starting car, something I never expected, but will never forget! The whole event was really well-run, with an awesome mix of races, food, music, and a big purple theme that made everything feel festive and fun. If you're looking for something different to do in Pennsylvania that still feels local and exciting, this is it. 10/10 recommend checking it out — I’ll definitely be back next year! 🐎💜

I go there to country line dance. The floor is spacious & seating is abundant. There is a convenient bar by the dance floor! Bring your slick boots though. The floor can be grippy. The DJ plays the latest dances with some older ones mixed in.

Really cool casino with kind of an oldie type style. I really enjoy our time here and playing in the arcade. With the bowling alley would be open until 4AM or something though but it might be under a different company possibly. I included a photo of the arcade which I think is in the perfect place for the casino since it appears to be filling an empty space and right outside the bowling alley which makes sense. I will be returning to enjoy the arcade and possibly bowling next time. Thank you for the memories and laughter we had tonight. 😄🥰

The Tipsy Cauldron Pop-Up Halloween Bar at The Meadows Casino was amazing! Such a fun and unique experience — 10/10! The staff were super nice and so committed to the Harry Potter theme, which made the whole night feel extra magical. The decorations were incredible, the drinks were delicious, and the whole vibe was festive and fun. Definitely recommend checking it out — can’t wait to come back next year

Attended a concert there. Wouldn’t go to another outdoor concert there ever. They ziptie small folding chairs together and you have no space. You can’t even sit properly every other person had to sit forward to fit. And the isles were so close together you couldn’t get in and out. Ticketmaster shows section 7 directly center of stage, however they set it up shifted one section down the whole way so instead of center we were to the right. And section 8 was center. But it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. They allow people to stand in the isle behind section two which is higher than the back sections already. So you literally can not see the stage even standing. And one tv monitor is also set up to low because the people are just blocking it. Perhaps if when they moved the concert from indoors to outdoors if they didn’t change us from being section 2 to 7 without notification it would have been semi enjoyable. Only two stars because the place was clean.

Just like the other Hollywood Casinos in PA, this one was really nice. Stopped here on a Monday night to watch the Phillies in the 2025 playoffs. Great venue to catch a game or place a bet. The TVs are massive and there were multiple games/content on. The bar staff was super friendly and helpful for us business travelers. I had the ribeye steak and didn't know what to expect beings it was a sports bar. It was superb! Cooked exactly as requested and great flavor. Had some fun in the casino, but the slots seemed really tight. Not many bonuses and didn't get to play much for the money put in.

Museum where visitors can board restored trolley cars & ride to a building housing old streetcars.
I was pleasantly surprised with how there was so much for my kids to do! Coloring, hands on interactive exhibits, a movie, trolley ride, and more. A big plus was the nursing room, it was so nice and even had diapers/wipes/water. Good job, more places need to do this!! Lastly, the playground is so cute and well done!

Everyone on staff was very friendly and informative. The displays explain how different parts of the trolleys work were very fun and interactive. We took a very picturesque trolley ride around the area, and got to explore a bunch of cars of varying ages. It made for a very fun road trip stop.
Emma K — Google review
This is the most amazing experience. First you get to learn about trolleys and how they operate. Then you can tour the warehouse. It is full of trolleys in various states. Most of which are turned on and open for touring. The most amazing part is the actual trolley rides. There is a short one that is very informative and laid back. There is also a long ride. This is the most fun you will ever have doing less than 25 MPH. It has beautiful scenery snd some wildlife to photograph. If you are anywhere near Washington, PA do yourself a favor and stop here!!

We really enjoyed our visit to the Trolley Museum. The exhibits were fascinating and my son absolutely loved the trolley rides. The volunteers were very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do, which made learning about the history even more enjoyable. The only downside was that a few of the volunteers were a little too eager to engage, and it sometimes felt like we were being followed around. I understand they were just trying to be helpful, but it came across a bit pushy. Overall, it is a wonderful place for families and anyone interested in transportation history. We would definitely visit again.

This place is a real hidden gem. Blown away by the breadth and quality of the exhibits, the trolley riding experience, and all the restored old trolley cars. Our 3- and 5-year-old couldn't get enough. And the staff were all incredibly nice, friendly, and great with the kids. We loved the Lego exhibit too!

Outdoor Activities
Stadium for baseball & more sporting events is home to the Frontier League's Washington Wild Things.
I'll make this review short since I just wrote a long glowing review for the Wild Things that for some reason my computer ate. LoL - So this review will just be to the point. The staff was fantastic, the food INCREDIBLE - had the hot dogs, funnel fries, ice cream, and the BEST chicken sandwich I have had in YEARS (and I eat chicken sandwiches out often) (do not judge my eating habits please) The facility was very clean. Here's a few MENUS to whet your appetite. As with all pro athletic events, food is a bit pricey, BUT on Wednesday they sell $1.00 hot dogs! And they do allow tailgating. Ticket prices are fair, park location great, and as I said the staff was fantastic! Go Wild Things!

Terrible concert venue. Lines for the bathrooms were horrendous. Too crowded. 30+ mins to get a drink. 1.5 hours to get a T-Shirt. 35+ mins for the men's bathroom. No bathrooms outside the venue, at least there were trees since you couldn't use a bathroom in the park.

My fiance's work gave the employees an appreciation day here. We had a suite and it was nice. Ac could've worked better but the food was good- hot dogs, lasagna roll ups, fruit salad and the most amazing brownies! A couple drink choices in the fridge. I got an ice cream and it was HUGE for $5, I couldn't eat it all. Nice seating outside the suite. We got a free bobble head. It was a.good time with lots of activities between innings. Hopefully will make it there again sometime. (An hour drive for us)

The LeMoyne House, a remarkable historic residence, exudes charm and grandeur. Its connection to the whiskey rebellion adds to its allure, although limited spending during the visit proved somewhat disappointing. The knowledgeable guide provided an exceptional tour of this splendid dwelling, showcasing a plethora of original artifacts and breathtaking aesthetics. Featuring an exceptional collection of local history and staffed by friendly personnel, this landmark is unquestionably worth a visit.
Wonderful historic home! Visited during whiskey rebellion so not as much spent as we would have liked. Definitely a trip back coming soon

History museum
Sights & Landmarks
Bradford House Museum is a historical residence that offers tours showcasing the leader's involvement in the Whiskey Rebellion tax protest. This house museum, formerly owned by a rebellion leader, provides insights into life during the late 18th century through exhibits featuring various objects and clothing. Nearby, the Whiskey Rebellion Center delves deeper into the history of this movement and its underlying causes.
I have visited Bradford’s Louisiana home, the Myrtles, several times. I was passing through the area and thought I should check out his other home. I have an interest in American history so the Whiskey Rebellion is a neat chapter to explore. I drove around to several other spots tied to that period before coming here. I didn’t realize that the house was technically closed but tried the door and it was unlocked. The volunteers were doing various maintenance since it is offseason. They were gracious enough to give me an excellent tour. A big thank you to Denise and Mike who went above and beyond. I will be back in the area later this year and will check out their museum across the street.

Parking was a bit of an issue. They have a small lot behind the house. I have a F350 super crew long bed truck. Glad I didn't try and to access the lit. Street parking was available within a couple of blocks. Wonderful historical house the guides were great . Recommend visiting if you are in the area. Don't forget the small location across the street. Has all the history of the Whiskey Rebellion laid out with some information.

Bradford House is a museum and National Historic Landmark that is open for tours. The house was built by the lawyer David Bradford in 1788. For our tour, two docents who were dressed in period clothing walked us through the foyer, parlor, dining room, stairwells, sewing room, children's room, master bedroom, servants' quarters, backyard garden, log kitchen cabin, and gift shop. The docents' narration about history, architecture, furniture, etcetera was very educational and interesting.

Italian restaurant
Angelo's Restaurant, a family-owned establishment for over seven decades, offers a diverse menu of Italian cuisine and wines. The restaurant provides a pleasant dining atmosphere with excellent service. While moderately priced, some customers may find the entree selection lacking in side options. However, Angelo's is highly recommended for its amazing food and extensive range of delicious Italian dishes such as Eggplant Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms, and Shrimp Scampi Pasta.
Very much enjoyed lunch. I had beef and cheese combo ravioli and my sister had a seafood linguini. Both were excellent. Plenty of fresh, warm bread to eat too. We opted for starter salads (extra $6 each). I had Caesar, which was good, but maybe a little dry. Sister had regular with a balsamic Italian dressing. She felt the dressing was little too balsamic, but loved the ingredients included in the salad. Really good food and service. Easy parking. Good portion sizes. I strongly recommend.

Fell in love with this restaurant!!! My boyfriend and I chose to have dinner here on a whim during our vacation. Our waitress was very kind and courteous. Our food was phenomenal.

Call ahead if you can! We didn't have to wait for our table because we made reservations. It was packed in the restaurant. I'm giving 4 stars on the atmosphere only because all the people's voices were so loud inside the restaurant. Marsha was our waitress and was the best. Even her evil twin, Brenda, was in top form. (She said if I was complaining, her name was Brenda) 😆 I ordered the Pasta Scolgio with Alfredo sauce instead of the clam sauce it comes with. It was excellent. My husband ordered the Pasta Silvio and said it would be something he'd get again. It had great flavor. I ordered the Wedding Soup for my appetizer and it was very delicious and perfect with their bread. My husband had the salad. And of course, the Gelato was great... have fun with all the neat flavors!!

Atmosphere- 5 stars- located in downtown Washington PA this Italian style restaurant is below street level. You enter the building by going down a set of steps. Reminds me of the entrance of the famous television show - Cheers. As you enter you see a full bar to your right and to your left a seating area as well as further ahead as you’re waiting to be seated. It is a cozy environment that feels like a local spot and is decorated nicely with old photo memories of the past. Love the rustic brick wall that was in our dining area. I don’t believe there are any windows since you’re in the lower level of the building however it doesn’t feel dark or uninviting. Everything was really clean and there was plenty of seating- both tables and booths or seating at the bar. I also noticed a back room which was probably used for private events or overflow seating. Service- 5 stars- our waitress was Bridgette and she was on the ball! We had a table that was a little rocky but she noticed it right away and fixed it. She gave us her advice when asked about what was good and she didn’t steer us wrong- I had one of the best sandwiches I had ever had. She was very attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full and that we had everything we needed. Super friendly. I hope this restaurant knows what a good employee they have. Food- 5 stars- we had been here before however it had been awhile and our last visit was a little disappointing but I accounted that for being rusty after reopening due to the COVID episode. This time was amazing!!! Everything was delicious. Starting with the Wedding soup- perfectly made with tender meatballs and a savory broth. I got the Roberta sandwich- which was made with tender slices of roast beef, cheese, Cole slaw, fresh fries and thousand island dressing all on Italian grilled bread- amazing!!! We also got Cheese Ravioli made with imported pasta and you could definitely tell the difference from the store boxed pasta. Sauce was very good and we got a side of Meatballs- very large Meatballs at that and they were awesome! Just can’t say enough about our experience here. If you look at my past reviews you will see that five stars reviews come far and few between so when I give a place five stars it must be very good!!

What a great place! Been there forever but first time finding it. Very unassuming place bc it’s old school Italian, enter through a ‘basement’ entrance. Walk in and it is a vintage Italian restaurant feel. We got there at just after 11am on a Saturday and it was ALREADY half full, we sat at the bar. Bartender was wonderful! Knowledgeable about business history and answered all questions about food. We left saying that we’re going to go back again and again!

Union Grill is a cornerstone of this town! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by that cool ‘underground mob vibe’ and the welcoming staff. It’s a fantastic Italian spot with a great bar area that adds to the whole experience. We ordered a little bit of everything, and I’ve been coming here for years because it’s always a great experience. I always recommend this place to anyone visiting Washington – it's definitely worth the stop. It’s conveniently located just off the interstate, so it's easy to swing by if you're traveling. Parking is convenient with plenty of options available, including the newspaper building lot in the evening and street parking nearby.

We stopped at the Union Grill and enjoyed a delicious dinner while admiring the nostalgic charm of the restaurant’s decor.

The exterior of AL'an Ruben's Bar & Grill may not appear impressive, but the interior is pleasantly well-maintained. We ordered both the alfredo (with additional chicken) and spaghetti (with extra meatballs). The alfredo sauce was rich and flavorful, while the spaghetti sauce had a deep taste and thick consistency that clung to the noodles. The meatballs were also satisfactory.
It took us years to get here after so many friends recommended it! We are so thankful we finally got here! It was delicious! Can’t wait to come back! Delicious food, amazing portions, and fabulous service!

Horrible experience at AL'an Rubens. We have always heard such great things about this restaurant so we decided to drive the hour to Washington to try to it out. We got there at 4:30pm on a Saturday. We did wait 30 minutes to be seated which wasn't a problem but after being sat, another 15 minutes went by before a waitress asked if we had been waited on. We said no so she went to tell the host. The host came over and said it was his fault he didn't tell the waitress she was sat Even though she served the table right next to us that was sat after us! So the host apologizes and takes are bar drink order and says the bar is backed up. They should have told the bartender to make them on the fly but nope. The waitress finally came over and got us water (30 minutes at this point) and took our order. Our apps and salad came out and we still didn't have our drinks! After an hour of sitting there we told her to just cancel our drinks. I watched several tables who were there after us get served and even left before us. Maybe they just don't care about 2 tops and only care about larger parties. There were also several tables open with many people waiting in line to be seated. After almost 20 years in business I would think they would have their system down but it seemed like they were all running around like headless chickens. I've never seen a restaurant so unorganized. If the food had been good it would have made up for it. We got the Ruben balls and mozzarella and carozza, both were not good! I gave the left overs to my dog. We also got the chicken parm, penne ala vodka and Mac and cheese. The penne was ok but to much salt. The chicken parm was just ok not fabulous, but the Mac and cheese was excellent. That's the only star I could give them. We finally got out of there at 6:30pm! 2 hours for a crappy dinner experience. Has to be only old people that like this place. Definitely won't be wasting my gas again by going here.

Rueben balls as an appetizer were very good. The penne pasta was cooked to perfection as was the chicken parm. The breading was light and easy to eat. My wife had the whiskey cheddar bacon burger and she said it was the best burger she had ever had. The fries were very uniquely cut and delicious. My only complaint with the food was that the bread was a little stale and not as fresh as I would like, other than that everything was excellent. Bathrooms were spotless and had no foul smells. The interior was way better looking than the outside. Soft jazz plays as you enjoy your meal. Hours of operation are a little weird, but then again everywhere seems to be strange since the c19 ordeal. Looking forward to try the fish sandwich next. Timmy was our waitress and she was on top of everything.

I highly recommend Al an’ Rubens. It is a five star restaurant with delicious meals . The attentive staff (Renee) is very knowledgeable providing excellent recommendations. The greens and beans is so delicious with the homemade bread. Chicken Marsala , Chicken Colini, stuffed eggplant are outstanding dishes. The homemade desserts and salad dressings are absolutely very tasteful. Cant wait to try another entree on their menu or specials of the day.

One if the best meals I’ve ever had! My boyfriend’s family recommended Al’an Ruben’s while we were visiting from Columbus, OH, and we are so grateful they did. We just walked in without a reservation around 6:20pm and it took about 10 minutes or so to be seated, but the wait is worth it! We started with the Mozzarella in Carrozza which was crispy, golden, perfectly melted on the inside, and a cream sauce to top it off. I had the special- Beef Ravioli in marinara, and my boyfriend ordered the Vodka Penne. Both dishes tasted so fresh, with the sauces full of flavor. We ended our dinner with Neapolitan cheesecake, which was the perfect finish to our Italian dinner. Now, I do want to say if you are in a rush and looking for a quick bite this place isn’t for you. Al’an Ruben’s is a restaurant made for people who want a good quality, made from scratch dinner and that takes some time. Again, the wait is so worth it! We dine at Italian restaurants often, but there’s just nothing like the flavor and energy of this family-owned spot. The food is amazing, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Truly nothing better than a good food and good people combo. Can’t wait for our next visit!!

Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar in Washington is a long-standing Pittsburgh chain known for its signature sandwiches loaded with coleslaw and french fries. Despite being busy, the atmosphere is lively and spacious, allowing for a comfortable dining experience. The menu features favorites like the Reuben sandwich and pastrami options, while the house-made Mac and cheese bites come highly recommended. Although some patrons experienced longer wait times during peak hours, the friendly service from servers like Mikey added to their positive experiences.
Great sports bar atmosphere, with a huge bar top for people to sit, as well as tables and booths. Large beer and drink selections. Had the reuben sandwich and was blown away at how good it was. The meat was sliced perfectly. Great prices, friendly staff, and wonderful atmosphere!

This is what a sports bar should look and feel like. Honestly, we chose to eat at this restaurant because it was near our hotel and it was getting late. We had travel many miles for a baseball tournament in the area on that day and we were very tired. There were only a few people there on a Wednesday night. Our order was quickly taken and the food came out around 15 minutes later. Order: 1) Grilled Chicken Spinach Sandwich with bacon, red onion, tomato, Swiss and a bacon-tomato-ranch sauce on a brioche bun-$11.59 (very good). 2) Angus Sirloin Steak and Cheese Sandwich served with fries, slaw and tomato on Italian Bread-$11.29 (a little dry, but good) 3) Personal Pepperoni Pizza-$8.99 (eatable) 4) Retro Onion Rings Crispy breaded onion rings with Parmesan Horseradish Mayo-$7.99 (very good) Compared to other restaurants in the area that close between 8-10PM, this location closes between 12-2AM depending on the day of the week.

Sandwiches are fantastic and very large for the extremely low price they're sold at. Can't ask for better grub! Service is quick too.

This was my 3rd time at PB. The first time in Ft Lauderdale, not impressed. The 2nd, in the strip district REALLY NOT impressed. So I wasn't going to go again, but my husband talked me into it and I've got to say I'm glad he did. First off, Patience our waitress was great. I love when a server knows the food they're serving and shares their opinion. To me it shows they care. And the manager, Mike delivered our food and Introduced himself. Again it showed he cared. Our food was good. Very good. We shared a sandwich and naked wings. The Honey Buffalo was a good choice, again suggested by our waitress. I wish they hadn't run out of pickle, but I love them so I understand why. Our dessert, the Reese's pie, so freaking good. This waitress and manager saved this chain from the bad taste another location left. Thank you for working hard, it shows!!

Giant deli sandwiches with the unique Primanti twist. Ruben was smokey and spicy featuring pastrami and corned beef with a delicious grilled slaw rather than sauerkraut. The turkey and cheese sandwich was tasty as well!

The food was very good (other than rubbery chickrnon my salad) the service was top-notch and very reasonable prices. It was late and after a very long day on the road, we needed sustenance. We knew the moment we walked in, it wasn't our kind of place. TV screens everywhere, loud music and very loud patrons, but we were too tired to go elsewhere. Fortunately, the food and service made up for the noisy, bustling atmosphere.

Traveling in to see a Steelers game, had to stop by this Pittsburgh tradition! The food was excellent, fair price and the service was great.

Mediterranean restaurant
Markook Authentic Mediterranean Eats is a fast-food restaurant that offers a variety of dishes such as wraps, grills, shawarma, salads, and more. Customers have praised the delicious and fresh food served at this establishment. The staff is known for being friendly and helpful, providing an amazing dining experience. Building your own bowl is highly recommended as the choices are all excellent. The falafel is a favorite among customers, and the baked goods at the cash wrap are also worth trying.
Loved the food here! That was the freshest falafel I've ever eaten! The owners were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!

I've hesitated to write this review because I know the owner's response will only upset me further. My husband and I have sung the praises of this restaurant to our friends for years. We love their food and have always looked forward to going back. Throughout this time, we've read the one-star reviews and the owner's responses and have been alarmed, but we also just gave the owner the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes customers suck. But after our most recent experience, it's clear that these reviews are pretty spot on. When we visited last, we weren't aware that the dining room was closed until we walked in the door. And actually, we were there at 4:35 p.m. on a Friday, which, according to their website, means the dining room was technically still open. Anyways, we were immediately asked if we were aware that the dining room was closed and if that was okay. We had been planning to eat in, but because of how much we've loved this food over the years, I said that was totally fine and that we'd take it to go. Truly, this didn't bother me that much. But after we ordered, there was such a weird vibe. I had a cup of water placed on the ledge a table away from where the owner had his computer. I was standing there motionless, patiently waiting for our food when the owner harshly asked me to move the cup because his computer was nearby. I obliged. But then I felt like I had nowhere to go. Was I allowed to sit at a table and wait for my food? It really didn't seem like it. Everything was cleaned up for the day and I felt so out of place, like I wasn't fully welcome in the restaurant. According to the website, their dining room is closed between 2 and 4 p.m. and then again from 4:45 p.m. until close. Closing the dining room twice is not typical for most establishments (I'm aware of others that close their dining rooms an hour or less before close, only closing it once/day) and I think this is just confusing for customers. If you want to eat in the dining room during the 4-4:45 p.m. window, it seems like they'd want you there right at 4 p.m. This place has the potential to be phenomenal (good food, clean dining area), but when the owners make you feel like one wrong move can land you in the dog house, it's off-putting and makes us not want to go back. I wish this place the best, but I fear that they're going to continue to upset customers and scare them away. I've been as kind as I can be here, but good food and a clean dining area don't make up for a tense, unwelcoming atmosphere.

This is a shining star north of Washington. The food was amazing. The owners/operators were very personable and very comforting. Having a better experience in an eatery is nearly impossible. Please try their Mediterranean meals and keep them open for decades to come. Fantastic!!! First time there

First-timers here. Food is so delicious! I can tell by just looking how fresh their food is and oh it was! Healthy and hearty meal I could eat every day! Chicken kabob is well seasoned. Hummus is soo goood I have to say since it’s so fresh and very well made! Dining area is clean and well maintained. To add, Baklava is also great. We are satisfied and won’t be our last. thank you!

I just love the colors, freshness, and flavors of mediterranean cuisines. Simple, yet deliciously prepared dishes. Old-world taste, with a new-world feel. I just love the Beef Shawarma, and the spicy hummus is so smooth and savory. If you are looking for something fresh and unique next time your tummy rumbles, this place is your go-to restaurant. Advice; Ordering is cafeteria style. Menu reads right to left. Try the Baklava. 😋 perfect for lunch or early dinner.

We stopped in on a whim on our road trip with no knowledge of the area. What a wonderful surprise! Very friendly owners/operators - taking time to explain the menu and even tips on the best way to mix and enjoy the platter. Food was so flavorful and everything cooked perfectly. My wife absolutely loved the hummus. Only regret is we live hundreds of miles away…

Had a wonderful lunch experience here! The owners greeted us warmly and walked us through the ordering process. Food was delivered to us less than 10 minutes after ordering. She even gave us great suggestions for how best to eat/enjoy our dishes. Highly recommend! Will definitely go back.

I’m a NYC guy that passed through and had the good fortune of finding this gem. I arrived just before closing but they welcomed me after the kitchen was closed but still prepared a delicious meal for me. Amazing food and hospitality!
