What a nice surprise to find in Homestead where the only options are chains or Yinzer bars. The atmosphere is great: very clean, good seating, nice lighting, unique decor. A great outdoor patio with cute lights and umbrella tables. Nice bar. More of a restaurant than a bar..which I prefer. Food is fantastic. A small all from scratch items. Strip steak, big juicy crab cakes, amazing homemade perogies, and the Brussel sprouts are to die for. Huge craft beer selection. The owner is nice..always checks on everything which is probably why it's good. What a great little joint!!

I guess we got lucky because we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. We got there kind of early on a Saturday night (around 5:30-6), so that might be the window for good service as it was busy but not yet packed. Our server was great (I forgot to catch her name) - attentive but not overly so. We sat in the outdoor area and it was cool and breezy (the patio lies between 2 buildings which block the sun so it's not roasting out there) and quiet- they were playing some blues/jazz music which was a good volume so that it wasn't overpowering but you still didn't have to hear other people's conversations. Though the metal chairs out there aren't super comfortable, that would be my only complaint. We had the spinach and artichoke bruschetta which was to die for. It was a really hearty size, but we could have eaten several more plates of it it was so good. I had the flat iron steak. I asked for it medium and it came out medium and was perfect. Hubby had the perogies with jalapeño and was happy. I had a nice glass of house pinot noir, hubby had a beer on tap. I feel the prices were reasonable - an appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 drinks came to $50 which is not bad for date night. I would definitely go again next time we're in Homestead.

Well this place sucks. 1. Small menu 2. Expensive 3. Takes hour and a half for a meal on a slow night 4. Medium rare is not an option unless you really meant well done 5. Waitress/waitor disappear 6. Haven't got my check yet but I know I am going to feel violated once I get it. 7. Go somewhere else!

Food was excellent, price was cheap, server and staff were attentive, and atmosphere reminded me of downtown Brooklyn; it was a great experience! So why four stars and not five? It took quite a long time to get our food. To the tune of 20 minutes to get our appetizer. The bar was quite busy, but the tables were average; I guess the slow food service can be attributed to the fact the servers (and kitchen) is working for both the bar and tables, but it was beyond average wait. Overall, we would definitely come back if we were in the area.
(4)Cara L.
The atmosphere is really great. It was refreshing to find such a trendy place in this area. The service was quick but could be more knowledgable on their drinks and food. The chef nailed it! I got the special; crab stuffed salmon on tomato risotto with lemon drizzled green beans. It was full of flavor. My party of four all really enjoyed their time and food! Pretty nice selection of drafts to chose from as well!
(5)Angela B.
My salmon sandwich was decent, nothing special. Our food came out way before our appetizer which was odd. The waitress apologized and asked if we still wanted it. Uhh yes, I still want it haha. For the appetizer we got the spinach artichoke brucshetta and it was very good. Didn't try any drinks. The decor and ambiance were nice.
(3)Soo W.
What a gem in the older part of town. Beautiful place. Microbrewery beer over 15 different types. Food was amazing. Staff friendly and professional. I am passing through town and very glad to have found this place.

I came here a few weekends ago with the other half and Josh. I had heard good thing about the place from other yelpers and I was excited to enjoy a beer and warm meal. I started off with a Moscow Mule. I had to feed my ginger addiction. I found it crisp and refreshing. For my meal I went with perogies and brussel sprouts. The perogies were very good. Something I could see myself craving in the future. I enjoyed the sprouts but wish they were cooked a bit longer. I also had a coffee porter that was perfect with my meal. Service was ok. I wish the waitress was a little more present. Drinks sat empty from time to time but no one was dying of thirst. The decor seemed a little hodgepodge. I love the chandelier when you first walk in. I'm sure it cost a pretty penny. Over all a nice evening.

We stumbled across this little gem on a Sunday looking for a nice brunch. It happened to be their first day with Sunday brunch and man did they nail it. Limited options but everything we had was great so it didn't matter. Potato pancake benedict was done to perfection. Will venture back for dinner and drinks soon!
(5)Hatti T.
Wow - we been here twice now and we are very impressed. Great vibe, good cocktails (great bartender - Bill) and the food is awesome. We have had the pierogies, meatballs, and salmon cakes. Very good - fresh and homemade. The last time we were there Bill talked me into getting the Surf and Turf and boy am I glad he did. It was just outstanding! Great filet and the lobster was perfectly cooked. This is our new local "go-to" place. Love it! Thanks

If you're like me, you are looking through the reviews for Dorothy 6, seeing the mix of 1-2's and 4-5's and wondering why there is such a mix of opinions. After taking my boyfriend, Dale, to Dorothy 6 for his birthday last night, here is my insight: Food & drinks: 5 stars Value/Affordability: 5 stars Atmosphere: 4 stars Service: 1 star The food and cocktails were wonderful. We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Bruschetta, which was fantastic - topped with goat cheese, balsamic, bacon...mmm bacon is a key ingredient at Dorothy 6! We followed the appetizer with the Crispy Chicken Parmesan for me, Dorothy Flat Iron Steak for him. The breading on the chicken was delicious, as was the marinara sauce and pasta. Dale ordered his steak rare, and it came out perfectly done. He subbed in the brussel sprouts for the veggies that typically come with the flat iron steak, and what a great decision that was - topped with bacon and deliciousness. To accompany our food, we each had an Old Fashioned, which were well made. Dale also had a draft (the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout - a great beer from the restaurant's reasonably diverse offering of drafts) and I had a Smokestack Martini (dessert in a glass) to round out our evening. The atmosphere is good. It seems like the restaurant hasn't fully decided "what it is" yet, as there is a little bit of a clash between the cool brick walls and art, the fun chandeliers, and the kind of cheap banquet hall-style chairs and tables. I suspect that as the restaurant develops, the style and atmosphere will evolve further. The pricing is very affordable. Our bill came to about $75 - for an appetizer, two entrees, three craft cocktails, and a decent beer, it doesn't get much better than that. Here's why you see the 1-2 star reviews: The service is abysmal. The restaurant was not busy while we were there, but the wait staff was not attentive. It took a long time just to get water after we were seated. When our food eventually came out, we ultimately grabbed sets of silverware from a nearby table as we did not have any and our waitress didn't return to our table for another 10 minutes or so. Asking for additional water for another drink throughout our meal was a challenge, as our waitress returned our table very infrequently and spent a lot of time with her back turned to us, talking to the bartender. I think next time we will sit at the bar in hopes of better service. If you are not in a hurry - perhaps you're looking for a place to relax and eat a good meal or have some cocktails after some time in the Waterfront, I would highly recommend Dorothy 6. However, if you have a deadline (e.g., if you are planning to see a movie within the next hour at the theater), I would probably choose another place. Overall though - let's revisit how awesome the food and drinks were. The food truly was outstanding, the cocktails were well made, and the prices were very affordable. If Dorothy 6 improves on service, this could easily be a 5 star restaurant. It is a great addition to Homestead, and I am looking forward to returning.

Not often I give feedback, but feel compelled. Went here last Sat night with friends. Very cool atmosphere. Bar was great, pretty decent beer list. Food was fantastic! Shared the jalapeño perogies..yummy! Ordered the salmon sandwich for dinner..it was delicious! Everyone had a great meal. Will definitely return!!

I need to begin this review by stating: I hate Brussel sprouts. As a child, my father would serve them to my brothers and I, but we did whatever we could to avoid them... hunger strikes at the dinner table, temper-tantrums, or simply slipping them into a napkin and pretend to have finished our meal. As I grew older, I was open to trying them again since my taste buds evolved to enjoy vegetables like broccoli and beets. Unfortunately, Brussel sprouts left me wanting to scrub my tongue with a toothbrush and mouthwash in order to rid my mouth of the flavor. When ordering at Dorothy 6, I saw that Brussel sprouts were serves as a side to most dishes. My burger came with fries, but my boyfriend's meal came with a side of Brussel sprouts. My burger was simply perfect - juicy, pink, and filled with flavor. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Perhaps that's what made me feel adventurous... I grabbed my fork and sampled my boyfriend's Brussel sprouts... I was in love! How could this be? My entire life I have despised Brussel sprouts. The thought of them would make me gag in horror. Now after trying the sprouts served at Dorothy 6, I crave them! Where have they been all my life?! I would go back to Dorothy 6 Blast Furnace Cafe for many reasons: great beer, amazing burgers, pierogis... Now Brussel sprouts are added to that list. Thank you, Dorothy 6 for changing my mind and mouth about Brussel sprouts.
(5)Rita H.
The perogies are great especially the jalapeño ones. The stuffed mushroom cap with quinoa were delicious. Great cocktails. The server Cathy was patient and professional . The owner stopped by our table, very personable. I'll be back.
(5)Josheau W.
I have been remiss in reviewing Dorothy 6, shame on me! I love the idea of it, the concept is good but not fully executed, which is unfortunate because this place has what it takes to be really special. They have a nice selection of beers and do flights for your tasting pleasure, and my sandwich was quite satisfying, with a good price point for the quality of food, service, and the area. Our party had a young child and the staff was totally cool. Overall good time, it just left me feeling it was missing that last key to the 5 star puzzle. I'd give them 4 and a half, but there are no halves.
(4)Chip R.
Back at the Dorothy 6 again... Beautiful decor and comfortable ambience brought me back. I sat at the bar and was greeted cheerfully by the bartender. I got a beer (impressive beer selection), and reviewed the menu. Every entree I've had here has been excellent. My first time in I got the meatloaf and it was delicious... Bacon on top and smothered in gravy. You could tell the mashed potatoes were real (not out of a box) and even the green beans were special. Since then I've had the flat iron steak and the salmon croquettes. Never a disappointment. Tonight I decided to try a few appetizers for something different: reuban bites and pierogies. It didn't take long for my order to arrive. To be honest, the reuban bites were a bit dry for my liking but they weren't horrible and I still ate them (who knows, you might enjoy them that way). The pierogies, two cheddar and two jalipino, may have been the best pierogies I've ever had. I just really like this place. The service is good, the atmosphere is comfortable and the bartender is hard not to like. I still enjoy the Blue Dust, but this place is going to give them a run for their money and the competition between the two can only benefit the foodie and "beer snob" consumers in this area. If you find yourself in the Homestead area I would highly recommend that you stop into Dorothy 6.

This place finally opened! Have been waiting for quite some time. They were still in soft opening stage, but had most everything together. Atmosphere: Gorgeous. Industrial feel with a warmth that a blast furnace would give. Minimalist decor with the light fixtures being the attractions and they are varied in style. Plus...OUTDOOR SEATING. Such a rare commodity in Pittsburgh. Three TVs which is plenty...if I want to watch a game, I'm going to a sports bar. I don't want this place to be that...should be a chill place to drink, converse and relax. Touch tunes juke box. Drink: Great tap selection and bottles, too. Also a pretty extensive and eclectic liquor choice and just the right amount of wine. I like the display of it mixed through on the large gears on the wall. Service: We sat at the bar and the bartender was great to offer suggestions, tastes and take notes of what we like to drink. Food: Tried the spinach artichoke bruschetta. This was really good. Good twist on the all-party appetizer that wasn't too salty. Reuben balls were pretty damn good. Stuffed meatballs were okay...a little overdone, but I imagine they could easily be if you have to make them ahead and keep warm. Not crazy about the marinara with it. I know they'll be playing with the menu a bit. I hope it stays simple. You don't need a lot of choices, just really good ones. Overall....this is probably going to be my new hangout. I want this place to make it. 8th avenue needs it and Homestead does, too. Tell your friends!

We were going out after some drinking and needed good food to sober us up a little. Dorothy 6 was just that! The waitress was amazing and so was the food. I had the corn chowder and pierogies. Corn chowder was really tasty and full of veggies. The pierogies I got were the jalapeno ones and MAN were they spicy!!! I think between the table we got at least one of each app and they were all amazing! I really like this place!
(5)Mallory L.
We headed to the waterfront with nowhere in mind, yet didn't really want to do a chain restaurant. Pulled up yelp on the high level bridge, found Dorthy 6 and just made the decision to check it out! Walked in to a friendly bartender, loved the ambiance, and really loved the vibe of the outdoor seating area. Long story short, service at our table was off to a really rough start and took over a half hour to just get an appetizer in. Once the ball was rolling though, our server was very attentive and friendly. Menu looked awesome and we had a hard time choosing! We settled on pierogies for an app and they were amazing! Shared a plate with 2 cheddar and 2 jalapeño; not greasy, nice and crispy on one side, and not overly doughy. I had the beet and arugula salad with added steak (cooked perfectly and very tender) with a house made orange/mint vinagrette and my friend had the flat iron which was also very flavorful and cooked right. I'm sure will be back for more pierogies, to try more of the menu, and give the service another shot :)

I visited last Sun. for dinner after seeing a movie at AMC Loews theater in the Waterfront. Because I visit the Waterfront now and again to see movies, I keep a list of non-chain restaurants nearby handy, and Dorothy 6 was at the top of it. I don't know if the bells on the door failed to jingle when I walked in, but oddly, nobody came to greet me and my dining partner. Because it was empty except for maybe one other customer at the bar, we took the liberty of choosing a table. Before we sat down, a waitress emerged from the kitchen and handed us menus. Because their website doesn't seem to be functioning, I wasn't able to look up the menu ahead of time, which would have been nice. As it were, I found the prices a bit higher than I would have liked. The waitress mentioned the special of the day, crab-stuffed salmon, which sounded amazing, but I balked at the price ($20). Instead, I went with the pierogi entree ($16), and my dining partner went with the reuben sandwich ($10). When the food came out, after about 10 min., it looked good, but I was a bit surprised by the presentation of the side dish, which was described as caramelized brussels sprouts with bacon. I was expecting whole brussels sprouts, but this was more of a salad (see photo). Nevertheless, I found the taste quite pleasant. As for the pierogis, it was obvious that they were made fresh on site. The exterior had a satisfying crispness, and the filling had just the right amount of cheddar flavor, and was soft but not mealy. The caramelized onions served on top of the pierogis added a hint of sweetness, and the sour cream had a pleasant tinge of seasoning. I was only able to eat half of the pierogis and brussels sprouts, so I took the rest home, and they were just as good the next day. I didn't taste my dining partner's reuben, so I can't comment on it myself, but he enjoyed it, finishing it and the steak-cut fries that came with it. In general, I found the quality of food here to be quite good, but I found it to be a bit overpriced. I don't have any complaints about the service, and the ambiance, as others have mentioned, is quite interesting and beautiful. I'm not sure if business is normally as slow as it was when I visited. I hope not, since I'd like to see this place succeed, esp. in a town such as Homestead, which has few shopping and dining options outside of the Waterfront.

First of all, I'm very excited that all these new places are opening in Homestead! I'm so excited to try them all. Recently my husband and I ventured to Dorothy 6 Blast Furnace on a down night. The restaurant only opened in November. We'd read the reviews the restaurant had gotten already and figured it was worth a try. The interior of the restaurant is really nice. Brick walls with a steel mill theme. There's even a guide to warning whistles behind the bar. There's also a gorgeous chandelier in the entrance. The space has two levels, although they're currently only serving on one. I'm guessing as they begin to get more service they'll expand to the second level. We got the jalapeno pirogies as an appetizer. They were delicious. I'm not even a HUG pirogie fan. I usually find them to be a little too buttery/greasy...but these were perfect. They still had that comfort food deliciousness but weren't laden with butter. For dinner I had the meatball sandwich. It was very good. The meatballs are actually stuffed with cheese and spices, and I really enjoyed the marinara they use on the sandwich. All sandwiches come with steak fries. They're on the softer side, which I like but I know a lot of people aren't big fans of. My husband got the steak. He said it was good, but he could tell it had been sitting for awhile. It did take us a little longer than expected to be served our entrees...almost an hour (reason for 3 stars instead of 4). You can definitely tell they're a new restaurant when it comes to service. Everyone is very nice, but it seems they aren't up par yet as far as checking on tables and getting meals out. However I know these are growing pains that come with opening up a new place. The food definitely makes this place worth the visit. I'm looking forward to stopping back in the future once they've established themselves a bit more.
(3)Jim H.
If you want to get away from the boring chains along the waterfront and enjoy a delicious, casual meal, then this place should be at the top of your list. Traveling on business, I found this gem thanks to other Yelp users and decided to give it a try. The service was phenomenal, and the food was a bargain. I had the special, a generous filet with polenta and the bacon Brussel sprouts. The plate I got was simply presented without fanfare. The filet was perfect, the polenta was great, but the best flavor was the sprouts. I will most definitely return to this locally owned spot in a town that needs more places like this.
(4)Joe I.
Dorothy 6 Café is a great restaurant! Our food was delicious, as was the complimentary bread and butter. We sat outside on the patio, which is located in-between two historical buildings, one covered in climbing ivy, which is beautiful! Our waitress and host were both wonderful, and very kind. The reason I'm giving Dorothy 6 only four stars is the price of the food. My Crispy Chicken Parmesan was $17. It was not worth the cost. Dorothy 6 is a great restaurant though, definitely one of the best options in the area. Give it a try if you're nearby.
(4)Hollie F.
We heard so much about the delicious food at Dorothy 6 that we couldn't wait to go. Our group had reservations and were seating promptly after sitting at the bar for a few moments. The atmosphere is excellent. Beers on tap were delicious and price as expected. I had the cherry cider beer...Yummy. The menu is a bit limited but expected with a small restaurant. The Reuben Balls were a very good appetizer. Our table also ordered the spinach and artichoke bruschetta which was a bit overly dressed and became soggy. For our entrees, I had the chicken club which was delicious. My husband and another ordered the french dip sandwich which had good flavor but the bun was inappropriate and not crusty to hold up with the au jus. We enjoyed the evening and had good service with a smiling waitress.
(3)Bernard R.
Great food and great atmosphere. Next time you're at the Waterfront, skip P.F. Changs and go here instead.
(5)Lauren T.
The perogies were done with just the right amount of crispy on each side and good spicy on the inside. The salmon was different but had enough flavor without being overwhelming. I would get it again. I'm not into a lot of beer but it had a nice craft variety to choose from. Love the rogue dead guy!
(4)Carly L.
This place is beautiful! The salmon sandwich was the best I have ever had, and the meatball appetizer has me making plans to be back for the sandwich. We will be back very soon!
(5)Shawna S.
Food excellent, atmosphere is really neat, but 2/3 times I've been there service was extremely slow. An hour or more to get food.
(4)Ashley M.
The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the food is good. After that being said my first and only experience there was horrible. Took an hour to get an appetizer then over an hour to get a fish sandwich... It should never take over 2 hours to get perogies and a sandwich. It would have been different if our waitress was apologetic or a manager came to talk to us but no one cared and my drink stayed empty the whole time. I will never go back. Also some friends we were with said they went the week before and had the same problem but they messed up their food.
(2)Sara H.
Awesome dinner I had here last night. Great Perogies and Spinach Artichoke Bruschetta. Moderately priced and the service was good. No issues. I don't live in the area but I would definitely come back again.
(5)Betty W.
What a great place! Went to a movie and was looking for somewhere to eat! What a fine! Great food great service and the restaurant had great ambience . We loved it!!! Will definitely be back. Be smart and forget the chains.
(5)Amanda B.
I don't like flowery, long winded, pretentious reviews by hipster wannabe food critics so I'll get to the brass tacks. Ambiance: decor and music was perfect Booze: great selection of beer and cocktails Food: I had an 8oz strip steak with mashed potatoes and caramelized baconized Brussels sprouts. I ordered my steak med-rare and it was tender and delicious but a little more on the medium side but really that was okay with me, the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly--firm and not squishy but they could've used a little salt, there was something kind of off about the mashed potatoes though, they sort of reminded me of the ones I had in my high school cafeteria but my husband loved them. My husband had the pierogies, also with the Brussels sprouts and they were awesome! Like the best pierogies I've ever had, actually. Service: We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive, I saw him creating custom cocktails for other patrons and if I had not already been drinking beer I probably would've asked him to make me one. I feel that if I had been upset about the steak being a teensy bit overcooked and not liking the mashed pots, he would've done something about it cheerfully. Overall, the experience was pleasant and any kinks are small and will be smoothed out over a bit of time, I'm so excited that they've opened in my neighborhood.
(4)Shea A.
Awesome! Very glad to see some businesses trying to make Homestead work and this restaurant is succeeding! Great food, steak and eggs for Sunday brunch, wide variety and selection of beers, and much more. The decor is great too pulling much from the proud steel and industrial history of Homestead and the surrounding area. I hope Dorothy's starts the resurgence of the steel valley
(5)Shane S.
I pass by here daily and one day I saw they had their open sign on. On a whim I went there with my wife to check out the new place. The decor was a very cool mix of vintage chandelier with modern furniture. The bar looked amazing especially the 22 taps with custom steel sign. There is also an upstairs balcony and outdoor enclosed courtyard with gas heaters. We are vegetarians and we had the jalapeno pierogies and the artichoke bruschetta. Both were amazing, especially the bruschetta was the best I had ever had! The service was excellent, and quick. One of the owners even came by and chatted with us for awhile answering questions about the restaurant. They have several large TV's which would be nice for watching the game - but not with a sports bar feel. Overall I love the addition of Dorothy 6 to Homestead and will definitely be back.
(5)Leigh F.
Fabulous food, great selection, and an amazing line up of beers and wines. You simply can't go wrong at Dorothy 6! The place had a very nice, adult atmosphere and was easily accessible.
(5)Natalie B.
I've been waiting for Dorothy 6 to open for a while now and can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the sign light up. I've been a few times now and everyone I've taken with me has had the same reaction - "when can we go back" Bill at the bar is fantastic - he's incredibly creative with drinks and the beer selection is great as well, something for every preference. The pierogis are authentic and delicious and the Brussels sprouts with bacon - just yes, you need to get them. My boyfriend who does not eat Brussels sprouts has ordered them every time we've gone. The Reuben is possibly the best I've had - the dressing just out of this world and the steak is one of those steaks that you don't want any type of sauce anywhere near it because the meat and seasoning speak for itself. It's a hidden gem in Homestead and you'll want to try it out.
(5)Patrick A.
We happened to be in the area and gave Dorothy a try and we all really enjoyed it. The Pierogies were really really good. The Chili with the cornbread on top was also fantastic. The place was really nice inside, very comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. We would definitely highly recommend it.
(5)Andrea B.
The food was excellent and would definitely recommend going there for that. The reason I give it 3 stars is because the wait staff was sub-par. It took them forever to take our orders and never came back when we wanted to order more drinks. And when we finally flagged our waitress down, she only took half the orders before she ran away (we were still waiting to give her the rest!!).
(3)Brittney L.
After visiting Dorothy 6 cafe twice in the last 5 months, I am thoroughly confused as to how most of these reviews are even talking about the same restaurant. As a Munhall resident, I was really excited when Dorothy 6 opened to have somewhere "different" to try, instead of the same old waterfront restaurants. The first time I dined there was in December 2014, not long after they opened. We had a group of 7, and we were very impressed by the decor. Cozy and unique, beautiful bar area, large beer selection, etc. The staff seemed friendly as well! Our service was extremely slow, which i attributed to the fact that they had opened very recently, and maybe weren't used to having many "large" parties yet, and also because we were seated upstairs (the staff had to walk up alot of steps to reach us). My sister and I both ordered the french onion soup, which was cold when it was served to us (not hot.. not even warm.. ICE COLD). We also both ordered the french dip sandwich.. Mine was OK at best, but very very bland. My sister's meat on her sandwich was so undercooked she couldn't finish half of it. A couple people got the pirogies, which they said were good. But overall, we left disappointed. We decided to give the restaurant another chance last night, and brought a party of 15-20 to celebrate my fiancés birthday. We were again seated upstairs, which was completely empty. I was impressed how cooperative the staff was, since we had such a large party with no reservation! However, the food service was again TERRIBLY slow. I have worked in the food industry in the past, and I fully understand how difficult it can be to wait on such a large group.. but there was literally only ONE waitress attempting to take care of us. I don't understand why they wouldn't send her up any help, especially since we were spending a significant amount of money that night. I ordered the soup, pirogies appetizer, and a fish sandwich. My soup and pirogies took (no exaggeration) AN HOUR AND A HALF to come out. Some people in our party even had their entrées before i had my soup (which again, was ice cold). The pirogies WERE good (but very greasy and cold).. but my fish sandwich (which was served 2 hours after I ordered it) was DRY and COLD, along with my fries. When the waitess brought the checks, EVERY SINGLE PERSONS was INCREDIBLY wrong. It was overall (again) a really bad experience. I really wanted to like this place, but after giving them a second chance, I definitely won't be returning to Dorothy 6 cafe (and neither will the many people who were there last night).

First time at Dorthy 6, love it! Best perogies I've had. Atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly. I'll be back for sure!
(5)P D.
First bad review. We wanted to really love this place but the circumstance, service/food, would not allow. So what happened? Well, service started out great and first round of drinks were quick. Then approximately one hour later we were still without food and had no follow-up drinks or visits from our waitress. When we finally received our food, three out of three burgers were overcooked and even after letting the waitress know, nothing was done to fix this. The waitress asked how the food was and even said sorry for your bad experience, but did not help fix the experience. First and last visit, food and service were worse than Applebee's with a higher bill. Love the decor and wish it could have been better.

I tried this restaurant/pub a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised by my experience there. The decor was very nice - they obviously spent a long time working on it. I wasn't able to see the upstairs section at the time, as it was closed, but was told that it should be available for parties in the future. The bartender was very pleasant, and took me outside and showed me their outdoor space. He told me of places for a firepit, and seating/tables in the warmer months. The draft selection is very good - I believe that there were about 16+ craft beers on tap. The food was the highlight of the night, tho. I got salmon cakes, pierogies, brussel sprouts - all of which were cooked perfectly, and the brussel sprouts were amazing. Quite possibly the best that I have ever had. I am so happy that Homestead has another quality place in main strip - this establishment will definitely help in Homestead's revival.

I came here a few weekends ago with the other half and Josh. I had heard good thing about the place from other yelpers and I was excited to enjoy a beer and warm meal. I started off with a Moscow Mule. I had to feed my ginger addiction. I found it crisp and refreshing. For my meal I went with perogies and brussel sprouts. The perogies were very good. Something I could see myself craving in the future. I enjoyed the sprouts but wish they were cooked a bit longer. I also had a coffee porter that was perfect with my meal. Service was ok. I wish the waitress was a little more present. Drinks sat empty from time to time but no one was dying of thirst. The decor seemed a little hodgepodge. I love the chandelier when you first walk in. I'm sure it cost a pretty penny. Over all a nice evening.

I need to begin this review by stating: I hate Brussel sprouts. As a child, my father would serve them to my brothers and I, but we did whatever we could to avoid them... hunger strikes at the dinner table, temper-tantrums, or simply slipping them into a napkin and pretend to have finished our meal. As I grew older, I was open to trying them again since my taste buds evolved to enjoy vegetables like broccoli and beets. Unfortunately, Brussel sprouts left me wanting to scrub my tongue with a toothbrush and mouthwash in order to rid my mouth of the flavor. When ordering at Dorothy 6, I saw that Brussel sprouts were serves as a side to most dishes. My burger came with fries, but my boyfriend's meal came with a side of Brussel sprouts. My burger was simply perfect - juicy, pink, and filled with flavor. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Perhaps that's what made me feel adventurous... I grabbed my fork and sampled my boyfriend's Brussel sprouts... I was in love! How could this be? My entire life I have despised Brussel sprouts. The thought of them would make me gag in horror. Now after trying the sprouts served at Dorothy 6, I crave them! Where have they been all my life?! I would go back to Dorothy 6 Blast Furnace Cafe for many reasons: great beer, amazing burgers, pierogis... Now Brussel sprouts are added to that list. Thank you, Dorothy 6 for changing my mind and mouth about Brussel sprouts.

This place finally opened! Have been waiting for quite some time. They were still in soft opening stage, but had most everything together. Atmosphere: Gorgeous. Industrial feel with a warmth that a blast furnace would give. Minimalist decor with the light fixtures being the attractions and they are varied in style. Plus...OUTDOOR SEATING. Such a rare commodity in Pittsburgh. Three TVs which is plenty...if I want to watch a game, I'm going to a sports bar. I don't want this place to be that...should be a chill place to drink, converse and relax. Touch tunes juke box. Drink: Great tap selection and bottles, too. Also a pretty extensive and eclectic liquor choice and just the right amount of wine. I like the display of it mixed through on the large gears on the wall. Service: We sat at the bar and the bartender was great to offer suggestions, tastes and take notes of what we like to drink. Food: Tried the spinach artichoke bruschetta. This was really good. Good twist on the all-party appetizer that wasn't too salty. Reuben balls were pretty damn good. Stuffed meatballs were okay...a little overdone, but I imagine they could easily be if you have to make them ahead and keep warm. Not crazy about the marinara with it. I know they'll be playing with the menu a bit. I hope it stays simple. You don't need a lot of choices, just really good ones. Overall....this is probably going to be my new hangout. I want this place to make it. 8th avenue needs it and Homestead does, too. Tell your friends!

We were going out after some drinking and needed good food to sober us up a little. Dorothy 6 was just that! The waitress was amazing and so was the food. I had the corn chowder and pierogies. Corn chowder was really tasty and full of veggies. The pierogies I got were the jalapeno ones and MAN were they spicy!!! I think between the table we got at least one of each app and they were all amazing! I really like this place!

We headed to the waterfront with nowhere in mind, yet didn't really want to do a chain restaurant. Pulled up yelp on the high level bridge, found Dorthy 6 and just made the decision to check it out! Walked in to a friendly bartender, loved the ambiance, and really loved the vibe of the outdoor seating area. Long story short, service at our table was off to a really rough start and took over a half hour to just get an appetizer in. Once the ball was rolling though, our server was very attentive and friendly. Menu looked awesome and we had a hard time choosing! We settled on pierogies for an app and they were amazing! Shared a plate with 2 cheddar and 2 jalapeño; not greasy, nice and crispy on one side, and not overly doughy. I had the beet and arugula salad with added steak (cooked perfectly and very tender) with a house made orange/mint vinagrette and my friend had the flat iron which was also very flavorful and cooked right. I'm sure will be back for more pierogies, to try more of the menu, and give the service another shot :)
(4)Rita H.
The perogies are great especially the jalapeño ones. The stuffed mushroom cap with quinoa were delicious. Great cocktails. The server Cathy was patient and professional . The owner stopped by our table, very personable. I'll be back.
(5)Josheau W.
I have been remiss in reviewing Dorothy 6, shame on me! I love the idea of it, the concept is good but not fully executed, which is unfortunate because this place has what it takes to be really special. They have a nice selection of beers and do flights for your tasting pleasure, and my sandwich was quite satisfying, with a good price point for the quality of food, service, and the area. Our party had a young child and the staff was totally cool. Overall good time, it just left me feeling it was missing that last key to the 5 star puzzle. I'd give them 4 and a half, but there are no halves.
(4)Chip R.
Back at the Dorothy 6 again... Beautiful decor and comfortable ambience brought me back. I sat at the bar and was greeted cheerfully by the bartender. I got a beer (impressive beer selection), and reviewed the menu. Every entree I've had here has been excellent. My first time in I got the meatloaf and it was delicious... Bacon on top and smothered in gravy. You could tell the mashed potatoes were real (not out of a box) and even the green beans were special. Since then I've had the flat iron steak and the salmon croquettes. Never a disappointment. Tonight I decided to try a few appetizers for something different: reuban bites and pierogies. It didn't take long for my order to arrive. To be honest, the reuban bites were a bit dry for my liking but they weren't horrible and I still ate them (who knows, you might enjoy them that way). The pierogies, two cheddar and two jalipino, may have been the best pierogies I've ever had. I just really like this place. The service is good, the atmosphere is comfortable and the bartender is hard not to like. I still enjoy the Blue Dust, but this place is going to give them a run for their money and the competition between the two can only benefit the foodie and "beer snob" consumers in this area. If you find yourself in the Homestead area I would highly recommend that you stop into Dorothy 6.
(5)Matt M.
Well this place sucks. 1. Small menu 2. Expensive 3. Takes hour and a half for a meal on a slow night 4. Medium rare is not an option unless you really meant well done 5. Waitress/waitor disappear 6. Haven't got my check yet but I know I am going to feel violated once I get it. 7. Go somewhere else!
(1)Charles M.
Food was excellent, price was cheap, server and staff were attentive, and atmosphere reminded me of downtown Brooklyn; it was a great experience! So why four stars and not five? It took quite a long time to get our food. To the tune of 20 minutes to get our appetizer. The bar was quite busy, but the tables were average; I guess the slow food service can be attributed to the fact the servers (and kitchen) is working for both the bar and tables, but it was beyond average wait. Overall, we would definitely come back if we were in the area.
(4)Erin S.
What a nice surprise to find in Homestead where the only options are chains or Yinzer bars. The atmosphere is great: very clean, good seating, nice lighting, unique decor. A great outdoor patio with cute lights and umbrella tables. Nice bar. More of a restaurant than a bar..which I prefer. Food is fantastic. A small all from scratch items. Strip steak, big juicy crab cakes, amazing homemade perogies, and the Brussel sprouts are to die for. Huge craft beer selection. The owner is nice..always checks on everything which is probably why it's good. What a great little joint!!
(5)Liz B.
I guess we got lucky because we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. We got there kind of early on a Saturday night (around 5:30-6), so that might be the window for good service as it was busy but not yet packed. Our server was great (I forgot to catch her name) - attentive but not overly so. We sat in the outdoor area and it was cool and breezy (the patio lies between 2 buildings which block the sun so it's not roasting out there) and quiet- they were playing some blues/jazz music which was a good volume so that it wasn't overpowering but you still didn't have to hear other people's conversations. Though the metal chairs out there aren't super comfortable, that would be my only complaint. We had the spinach and artichoke bruschetta which was to die for. It was a really hearty size, but we could have eaten several more plates of it it was so good. I had the flat iron steak. I asked for it medium and it came out medium and was perfect. Hubby had the perogies with jalapeño and was happy. I had a nice glass of house pinot noir, hubby had a beer on tap. I feel the prices were reasonable - an appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 drinks came to $50 which is not bad for date night. I would definitely go again next time we're in Homestead.

If you're like me, you are looking through the reviews for Dorothy 6, seeing the mix of 1-2's and 4-5's and wondering why there is such a mix of opinions. After taking my boyfriend, Dale, to Dorothy 6 for his birthday last night, here is my insight: Food & drinks: 5 stars Value/Affordability: 5 stars Atmosphere: 4 stars Service: 1 star The food and cocktails were wonderful. We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Bruschetta, which was fantastic - topped with goat cheese, balsamic, bacon...mmm bacon is a key ingredient at Dorothy 6! We followed the appetizer with the Crispy Chicken Parmesan for me, Dorothy Flat Iron Steak for him. The breading on the chicken was delicious, as was the marinara sauce and pasta. Dale ordered his steak rare, and it came out perfectly done. He subbed in the brussel sprouts for the veggies that typically come with the flat iron steak, and what a great decision that was - topped with bacon and deliciousness. To accompany our food, we each had an Old Fashioned, which were well made. Dale also had a draft (the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout - a great beer from the restaurant's reasonably diverse offering of drafts) and I had a Smokestack Martini (dessert in a glass) to round out our evening. The atmosphere is good. It seems like the restaurant hasn't fully decided "what it is" yet, as there is a little bit of a clash between the cool brick walls and art, the fun chandeliers, and the kind of cheap banquet hall-style chairs and tables. I suspect that as the restaurant develops, the style and atmosphere will evolve further. The pricing is very affordable. Our bill came to about $75 - for an appetizer, two entrees, three craft cocktails, and a decent beer, it doesn't get much better than that. Here's why you see the 1-2 star reviews: The service is abysmal. The restaurant was not busy while we were there, but the wait staff was not attentive. It took a long time just to get water after we were seated. When our food eventually came out, we ultimately grabbed sets of silverware from a nearby table as we did not have any and our waitress didn't return to our table for another 10 minutes or so. Asking for additional water for another drink throughout our meal was a challenge, as our waitress returned our table very infrequently and spent a lot of time with her back turned to us, talking to the bartender. I think next time we will sit at the bar in hopes of better service. If you are not in a hurry - perhaps you're looking for a place to relax and eat a good meal or have some cocktails after some time in the Waterfront, I would highly recommend Dorothy 6. However, if you have a deadline (e.g., if you are planning to see a movie within the next hour at the theater), I would probably choose another place. Overall though - let's revisit how awesome the food and drinks were. The food truly was outstanding, the cocktails were well made, and the prices were very affordable. If Dorothy 6 improves on service, this could easily be a 5 star restaurant. It is a great addition to Homestead, and I am looking forward to returning.

Not often I give feedback, but feel compelled. Went here last Sat night with friends. Very cool atmosphere. Bar was great, pretty decent beer list. Food was fantastic! Shared the jalapeño perogies..yummy! Ordered the salmon sandwich for dinner..it was delicious! Everyone had a great meal. Will definitely return!!

I visited last Sun. for dinner after seeing a movie at AMC Loews theater in the Waterfront. Because I visit the Waterfront now and again to see movies, I keep a list of non-chain restaurants nearby handy, and Dorothy 6 was at the top of it. I don't know if the bells on the door failed to jingle when I walked in, but oddly, nobody came to greet me and my dining partner. Because it was empty except for maybe one other customer at the bar, we took the liberty of choosing a table. Before we sat down, a waitress emerged from the kitchen and handed us menus. Because their website doesn't seem to be functioning, I wasn't able to look up the menu ahead of time, which would have been nice. As it were, I found the prices a bit higher than I would have liked. The waitress mentioned the special of the day, crab-stuffed salmon, which sounded amazing, but I balked at the price ($20). Instead, I went with the pierogi entree ($16), and my dining partner went with the reuben sandwich ($10). When the food came out, after about 10 min., it looked good, but I was a bit surprised by the presentation of the side dish, which was described as caramelized brussels sprouts with bacon. I was expecting whole brussels sprouts, but this was more of a salad (see photo). Nevertheless, I found the taste quite pleasant. As for the pierogis, it was obvious that they were made fresh on site. The exterior had a satisfying crispness, and the filling had just the right amount of cheddar flavor, and was soft but not mealy. The caramelized onions served on top of the pierogis added a hint of sweetness, and the sour cream had a pleasant tinge of seasoning. I was only able to eat half of the pierogis and brussels sprouts, so I took the rest home, and they were just as good the next day. I didn't taste my dining partner's reuben, so I can't comment on it myself, but he enjoyed it, finishing it and the steak-cut fries that came with it. In general, I found the quality of food here to be quite good, but I found it to be a bit overpriced. I don't have any complaints about the service, and the ambiance, as others have mentioned, is quite interesting and beautiful. I'm not sure if business is normally as slow as it was when I visited. I hope not, since I'd like to see this place succeed, esp. in a town such as Homestead, which has few shopping and dining options outside of the Waterfront.

First of all, I'm very excited that all these new places are opening in Homestead! I'm so excited to try them all. Recently my husband and I ventured to Dorothy 6 Blast Furnace on a down night. The restaurant only opened in November. We'd read the reviews the restaurant had gotten already and figured it was worth a try. The interior of the restaurant is really nice. Brick walls with a steel mill theme. There's even a guide to warning whistles behind the bar. There's also a gorgeous chandelier in the entrance. The space has two levels, although they're currently only serving on one. I'm guessing as they begin to get more service they'll expand to the second level. We got the jalapeno pirogies as an appetizer. They were delicious. I'm not even a HUG pirogie fan. I usually find them to be a little too buttery/greasy...but these were perfect. They still had that comfort food deliciousness but weren't laden with butter. For dinner I had the meatball sandwich. It was very good. The meatballs are actually stuffed with cheese and spices, and I really enjoyed the marinara they use on the sandwich. All sandwiches come with steak fries. They're on the softer side, which I like but I know a lot of people aren't big fans of. My husband got the steak. He said it was good, but he could tell it had been sitting for awhile. It did take us a little longer than expected to be served our entrees...almost an hour (reason for 3 stars instead of 4). You can definitely tell they're a new restaurant when it comes to service. Everyone is very nice, but it seems they aren't up par yet as far as checking on tables and getting meals out. However I know these are growing pains that come with opening up a new place. The food definitely makes this place worth the visit. I'm looking forward to stopping back in the future once they've established themselves a bit more.
(3)Jim H.
If you want to get away from the boring chains along the waterfront and enjoy a delicious, casual meal, then this place should be at the top of your list. Traveling on business, I found this gem thanks to other Yelp users and decided to give it a try. The service was phenomenal, and the food was a bargain. I had the special, a generous filet with polenta and the bacon Brussel sprouts. The plate I got was simply presented without fanfare. The filet was perfect, the polenta was great, but the best flavor was the sprouts. I will most definitely return to this locally owned spot in a town that needs more places like this.
(4)Joe I.
Dorothy 6 Café is a great restaurant! Our food was delicious, as was the complimentary bread and butter. We sat outside on the patio, which is located in-between two historical buildings, one covered in climbing ivy, which is beautiful! Our waitress and host were both wonderful, and very kind. The reason I'm giving Dorothy 6 only four stars is the price of the food. My Crispy Chicken Parmesan was $17. It was not worth the cost. Dorothy 6 is a great restaurant though, definitely one of the best options in the area. Give it a try if you're nearby.
(4)Cara L.
The atmosphere is really great. It was refreshing to find such a trendy place in this area. The service was quick but could be more knowledgable on their drinks and food. The chef nailed it! I got the special; crab stuffed salmon on tomato risotto with lemon drizzled green beans. It was full of flavor. My party of four all really enjoyed their time and food! Pretty nice selection of drafts to chose from as well!
(5)Angela B.
My salmon sandwich was decent, nothing special. Our food came out way before our appetizer which was odd. The waitress apologized and asked if we still wanted it. Uhh yes, I still want it haha. For the appetizer we got the spinach artichoke brucshetta and it was very good. Didn't try any drinks. The decor and ambiance were nice.
(3)Soo W.
What a gem in the older part of town. Beautiful place. Microbrewery beer over 15 different types. Food was amazing. Staff friendly and professional. I am passing through town and very glad to have found this place.
(5)Hollie F.
We heard so much about the delicious food at Dorothy 6 that we couldn't wait to go. Our group had reservations and were seating promptly after sitting at the bar for a few moments. The atmosphere is excellent. Beers on tap were delicious and price as expected. I had the cherry cider beer...Yummy. The menu is a bit limited but expected with a small restaurant. The Reuben Balls were a very good appetizer. Our table also ordered the spinach and artichoke bruschetta which was a bit overly dressed and became soggy. For our entrees, I had the chicken club which was delicious. My husband and another ordered the french dip sandwich which had good flavor but the bun was inappropriate and not crusty to hold up with the au jus. We enjoyed the evening and had good service with a smiling waitress.
(3)Sara H.
Awesome dinner I had here last night. Great Perogies and Spinach Artichoke Bruschetta. Moderately priced and the service was good. No issues. I don't live in the area but I would definitely come back again.
(5)Betty W.
What a great place! Went to a movie and was looking for somewhere to eat! What a fine! Great food great service and the restaurant had great ambience . We loved it!!! Will definitely be back. Be smart and forget the chains.
(5)Corey H.
We stumbled across this little gem on a Sunday looking for a nice brunch. It happened to be their first day with Sunday brunch and man did they nail it. Limited options but everything we had was great so it didn't matter. Potato pancake benedict was done to perfection. Will venture back for dinner and drinks soon!
(5)Hatti T.
Wow - we been here twice now and we are very impressed. Great vibe, good cocktails (great bartender - Bill) and the food is awesome. We have had the pierogies, meatballs, and salmon cakes. Very good - fresh and homemade. The last time we were there Bill talked me into getting the Surf and Turf and boy am I glad he did. It was just outstanding! Great filet and the lobster was perfectly cooked. This is our new local "go-to" place. Love it! Thanks
(5)Amanda B.
I don't like flowery, long winded, pretentious reviews by hipster wannabe food critics so I'll get to the brass tacks. Ambiance: decor and music was perfect Booze: great selection of beer and cocktails Food: I had an 8oz strip steak with mashed potatoes and caramelized baconized Brussels sprouts. I ordered my steak med-rare and it was tender and delicious but a little more on the medium side but really that was okay with me, the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly--firm and not squishy but they could've used a little salt, there was something kind of off about the mashed potatoes though, they sort of reminded me of the ones I had in my high school cafeteria but my husband loved them. My husband had the pierogies, also with the Brussels sprouts and they were awesome! Like the best pierogies I've ever had, actually. Service: We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive, I saw him creating custom cocktails for other patrons and if I had not already been drinking beer I probably would've asked him to make me one. I feel that if I had been upset about the steak being a teensy bit overcooked and not liking the mashed pots, he would've done something about it cheerfully. Overall, the experience was pleasant and any kinks are small and will be smoothed out over a bit of time, I'm so excited that they've opened in my neighborhood.
(4)Shea A.
Awesome! Very glad to see some businesses trying to make Homestead work and this restaurant is succeeding! Great food, steak and eggs for Sunday brunch, wide variety and selection of beers, and much more. The decor is great too pulling much from the proud steel and industrial history of Homestead and the surrounding area. I hope Dorothy's starts the resurgence of the steel valley
(5)Lauren T.
The perogies were done with just the right amount of crispy on each side and good spicy on the inside. The salmon was different but had enough flavor without being overwhelming. I would get it again. I'm not into a lot of beer but it had a nice craft variety to choose from. Love the rogue dead guy!
(4)Carly L.
This place is beautiful! The salmon sandwich was the best I have ever had, and the meatball appetizer has me making plans to be back for the sandwich. We will be back very soon!
(5)Bernard R.
Great food and great atmosphere. Next time you're at the Waterfront, skip P.F. Changs and go here instead.
(5)Shawna S.
Food excellent, atmosphere is really neat, but 2/3 times I've been there service was extremely slow. An hour or more to get food.
(4)Ashley M.
The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the food is good. After that being said my first and only experience there was horrible. Took an hour to get an appetizer then over an hour to get a fish sandwich... It should never take over 2 hours to get perogies and a sandwich. It would have been different if our waitress was apologetic or a manager came to talk to us but no one cared and my drink stayed empty the whole time. I will never go back. Also some friends we were with said they went the week before and had the same problem but they messed up their food.
(2)Shane S.
I pass by here daily and one day I saw they had their open sign on. On a whim I went there with my wife to check out the new place. The decor was a very cool mix of vintage chandelier with modern furniture. The bar looked amazing especially the 22 taps with custom steel sign. There is also an upstairs balcony and outdoor enclosed courtyard with gas heaters. We are vegetarians and we had the jalapeno pierogies and the artichoke bruschetta. Both were amazing, especially the bruschetta was the best I had ever had! The service was excellent, and quick. One of the owners even came by and chatted with us for awhile answering questions about the restaurant. They have several large TV's which would be nice for watching the game - but not with a sports bar feel. Overall I love the addition of Dorothy 6 to Homestead and will definitely be back.
(5)Leigh F.
Fabulous food, great selection, and an amazing line up of beers and wines. You simply can't go wrong at Dorothy 6! The place had a very nice, adult atmosphere and was easily accessible.
(5)Natalie B.
I've been waiting for Dorothy 6 to open for a while now and can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the sign light up. I've been a few times now and everyone I've taken with me has had the same reaction - "when can we go back" Bill at the bar is fantastic - he's incredibly creative with drinks and the beer selection is great as well, something for every preference. The pierogis are authentic and delicious and the Brussels sprouts with bacon - just yes, you need to get them. My boyfriend who does not eat Brussels sprouts has ordered them every time we've gone. The Reuben is possibly the best I've had - the dressing just out of this world and the steak is one of those steaks that you don't want any type of sauce anywhere near it because the meat and seasoning speak for itself. It's a hidden gem in Homestead and you'll want to try it out.
(5)Brittney L.
After visiting Dorothy 6 cafe twice in the last 5 months, I am thoroughly confused as to how most of these reviews are even talking about the same restaurant. As a Munhall resident, I was really excited when Dorothy 6 opened to have somewhere "different" to try, instead of the same old waterfront restaurants. The first time I dined there was in December 2014, not long after they opened. We had a group of 7, and we were very impressed by the decor. Cozy and unique, beautiful bar area, large beer selection, etc. The staff seemed friendly as well! Our service was extremely slow, which i attributed to the fact that they had opened very recently, and maybe weren't used to having many "large" parties yet, and also because we were seated upstairs (the staff had to walk up alot of steps to reach us). My sister and I both ordered the french onion soup, which was cold when it was served to us (not hot.. not even warm.. ICE COLD). We also both ordered the french dip sandwich.. Mine was OK at best, but very very bland. My sister's meat on her sandwich was so undercooked she couldn't finish half of it. A couple people got the pirogies, which they said were good. But overall, we left disappointed. We decided to give the restaurant another chance last night, and brought a party of 15-20 to celebrate my fiancés birthday. We were again seated upstairs, which was completely empty. I was impressed how cooperative the staff was, since we had such a large party with no reservation! However, the food service was again TERRIBLY slow. I have worked in the food industry in the past, and I fully understand how difficult it can be to wait on such a large group.. but there was literally only ONE waitress attempting to take care of us. I don't understand why they wouldn't send her up any help, especially since we were spending a significant amount of money that night. I ordered the soup, pirogies appetizer, and a fish sandwich. My soup and pirogies took (no exaggeration) AN HOUR AND A HALF to come out. Some people in our party even had their entrées before i had my soup (which again, was ice cold). The pirogies WERE good (but very greasy and cold).. but my fish sandwich (which was served 2 hours after I ordered it) was DRY and COLD, along with my fries. When the waitess brought the checks, EVERY SINGLE PERSONS was INCREDIBLY wrong. It was overall (again) a really bad experience. I really wanted to like this place, but after giving them a second chance, I definitely won't be returning to Dorothy 6 cafe (and neither will the many people who were there last night).
(1)Hallie D.
First time at Dorthy 6, love it! Best perogies I've had. Atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly. I'll be back for sure!
(5)P D.
First bad review. We wanted to really love this place but the circumstance, service/food, would not allow. So what happened? Well, service started out great and first round of drinks were quick. Then approximately one hour later we were still without food and had no follow-up drinks or visits from our waitress. When we finally received our food, three out of three burgers were overcooked and even after letting the waitress know, nothing was done to fix this. The waitress asked how the food was and even said sorry for your bad experience, but did not help fix the experience. First and last visit, food and service were worse than Applebee's with a higher bill. Love the decor and wish it could have been better.
(1)Michael P.
I tried this restaurant/pub a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised by my experience there. The decor was very nice - they obviously spent a long time working on it. I wasn't able to see the upstairs section at the time, as it was closed, but was told that it should be available for parties in the future. The bartender was very pleasant, and took me outside and showed me their outdoor space. He told me of places for a firepit, and seating/tables in the warmer months. The draft selection is very good - I believe that there were about 16+ craft beers on tap. The food was the highlight of the night, tho. I got salmon cakes, pierogies, brussel sprouts - all of which were cooked perfectly, and the brussel sprouts were amazing. Quite possibly the best that I have ever had. I am so happy that Homestead has another quality place in main strip - this establishment will definitely help in Homestead's revival.
(5)Patrick A.
We happened to be in the area and gave Dorothy a try and we all really enjoyed it. The Pierogies were really really good. The Chili with the cornbread on top was also fantastic. The place was really nice inside, very comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. We would definitely highly recommend it.
(5)Andrea B.
The food was excellent and would definitely recommend going there for that. The reason I give it 3 stars is because the wait staff was sub-par. It took them forever to take our orders and never came back when we wanted to order more drinks. And when we finally flagged our waitress down, she only took half the orders before she ran away (we were still waiting to give her the rest!!).
