Overbrook Restaurant

Love the food esp the crab cakes and bruschetta cheese steaks.  Only problem is they seem to cater to locals.  We were given a table by the door in winter when the table we requested sat empty although we were told someone reserved it.  We were there 2 hours and no one sat there.

Quality is always consistent. Crabcake sandwhich is OUTSTANDING. Made to order grilled, burgers make your mouth water! Who wouldnt want a burger with anything you want on it? Bruschetta is SO incredibly tasty! And the special martini's are so much fun to try-we try a new one every time we go! We will continue to go back!

The one word I would use to sum up the Overbrook is inconsistency.

Went to the Overbrook with my parents and brother who was visiting from Pittsburgh for a family dinner.  This was my first trip here and I would not go out of my way to visit again, but if I was in the area I would likely return.  The restaurant is small and smelled strongly of malt vinegar which turned me off right away.  I noticed they have bottles of it on each table so perhaps someone spilled a bottle and it was not properly clean.  Still not sure why a restaurant would install carpeting but I digress.

We started off with the spinach artichoke dip.  It was disappointing and tasted like creamed spinach with some artichoke thrown in, topped with pizza cheese and put under a broiler.  Lacked seasoning and very few artichoke pieces.

For our main courses, my mother and I both ordered the crab cake sandwich, my father the pork barbecue (more like pulled pork) and my brother a small buffalo chicken Stromboli.  The crab cake sandwiches were outstanding!  Mostly lump crab meat, very little filler and the roll was fresh.  Fries were disappointing however, as they're frozen and not fresh cut.  The pork barbecue was very good as well.  It was shredded pork tossed with a Carolina style vinegar based barbecue sauce instead of the overly sweet sauces normally found in the area.  The Stromboli was simply awful.  Could not tell if it was steak or chicken in the filling as it was extremely greasy and lots of dark meat.  There was barely any Buffalo sauce in it and a very thin layer of cheese at the bottom.  It was like eating chicken cooked in oil.  Little to no flavor and minimal buffalo chicken taste.

Recommend the crab cake sandwich or the crab cake dinner.
