Their potato soup was my absolute favorite. It was the special for the day but I wish it was available everyday! The croutons were spectacular.

Pork belly doubled eggs was good with the to die for mushroom soup. The Bartender needs to be on food network. Drinks were amazing. Gots to get the coconut key lime pie. Fiancee got the pulled pork mac and cheese that was cheesy and delicious. Steak sub was so flavorful. The waiter made me feel Grande. Im talking bout Alfred from batman. Ty!! Can’t wait to go back to Canada. This would be another food stop for me.

This is the best food in the area. Dishes are creative and very well executed. Prices on the lunch menu are very reasonable. Any dish with the smoked salmon is a must try. Great beer, wine and mixed drink selection.

Dinner at Out of the Fire Cafe with my creator friends was an unforgettable highlight of our hosted Laurel Highlands getaway. This cozy, upscale eatery, located just off the Donegal exit of the PA Turnpike, was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a meal filled with bold, fresh flavors. Known for their Signature Smoked Salmon—a recipe perfected by the owner after his first taste of Vancouver’s legendary “candy” salmon in 1974—the cafe specializes in fresh seafood, hand-cut steaks, and locally-sourced ingredients. We kicked off the evening by sharing three appetizers, each beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The ambiance invited us to relax and savor every bite as we each enjoyed our own expertly crafted entrees. And, because no great meal is complete without dessert, we couldn’t resist splitting something sweet to finish the night. Between the incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, and stunning backdrop of the Laurel Highlands, Out of the Fire Cafe is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. If you’re ever visiting the area, it’s worth the trip to enjoy their creative menu and cozy charm!

One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in awhile, Aedan was out server and delivered amazing service. He shared about their mushroom soup and we both tried it and it was amazing. A must order, even my wife who doesn’t time mushrooms raved about it. I went with the smash burger, large portion and great flavor and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth the trip, and hope to be back again
