Life’s been a bit, well, different the last few months thanks to the pandemic. It’s not all been bad, though, especially with the reemergence of some of the treasures of yesteryear, including drive-in movie theaters. Now you can also experience another popular tradition of the early 20th century with carhop service at Gateway Grill near Pittsburgh.

Step way back in time, to the 1930s and 1940s, when you pull into a parking space at Gateway Grill in Monroeville, where you can indulge in a delicious meal without leaving the comfort of your car.

With carhop service, a waitress will take your order and bring you your food and drinks while you kick back and relax.

The full menu, with the exception of dinner entrees, is available for carhop service, so you’ve got quite a few scrumptious meals from which to choose.

Start your old-school way of dining out with a hearty appetizer – onion rings, wings, potato skins, or zucchini strips, for example.

If you’ve got a hankering for a hoagie, served with a generous side of potato chips, try the oven-baked Italian hoagie, the roast beef hoagie, or the classic Philly cheesesteak.

The Gateway Grill also serves an assortment of sandwich favorites. How does the Pittsburgh chicken, grilled chicken, or beef brisket sandwich sound? Add a helping of fries or a bowl of soup, too.
