I second "off the Hook". It's not in Cranberry but really close. There is a pretty good Italian place right beside it, but I can't remember the name.
Monroeville kinda sucks for restaurants. May have to do a chain restaurant there.

The Italian place right next to Off The Hook is Il Pizzaiolo, it's phenomenal.

Juniper Grill is also pretty decent for an American restaurant.

If you like Asian fusion, go to Jimmy Wans...it's tremendous.

Green Forest churrascaria in Monroeville is decent. It's all you can eat with several different kinds of meat.

Arguably, the best done meal at any price point in Cranberry at present is Mission Mahi (taco food truck with a fix location now on Rowan Rd). If you like Italian, Il Pizzaiolo isn't bad. If you want to really eat well, get in an uber and head into town (and I'd recommend Butcher and the Rye and/or Meat and Potatoes if you enjoy meat).

I didn’t think she asked for “world Class” food. She said she enjoyed steak. Firebirds isn’t as good as Hyde Park, Morton’s, Capital Grill or Ruth Criss.But it’s half the cost and has a good bar. The Log Cabin used to have good prime rib. Haven’t been there for years.

You can get most of that menu a bit closer in at the Springfield Grille in seven fields/mars. Scenery is better. Execution is slightly better than up at the log cabin. Ymmv and such. If Ken Stewart opened something like his Ohio properties over here, he’d clean up in this space.

Ken Steward could open up anywhere and be successful. But he’s not. I’ve been to the Springfield Grill many times, even before they opened in Cranberry. I’m pretty sure the same family owns The Iron Bridge, Rachel’s, Springfields and the Log Cabin. All solid if not spectacular. I prefer meats cooked with wood. That’s why I like Firebirds. Something different, if not spectacular.

Houlihan's for the double wide Grill

I wish I could trust guys reviews as much as I trust the food recommendations

Springfield Grill has good food! If you like ribs the sports bar in front of Quaker Steak & Lube has really good ones. Not sure of the name though and be hungry cause they're huge!

Ya but it's only about 5m drive from the mall.

Apparently the only good thing in Monroeville is the OP.
