Helen's on the Pike

Food was very good. Steak excellent. Bread outstanding. Salads well done. My chicken breast was not hot but the leg quarter was very hot. Service was VERY slow. Placemats were sticky ... yuck. Wines by the glass were stingy. Ambiance was nice. Well appointed. Overall, i would go back. Food was that good.

Below is a bad review, to be fair, the owner gave us a gift certificate for a free meal and a handwritten apology, it was 2 hours before our entrees arrived. The staff seemed inexperienced, for example, they didn't bring extra menus when the rest of our party arrived and we sat with empty dirty dishes in front of us for at least half an hour after we finished our appetizers. They brought exactly 5 slices of bread for the 5 of us (tasteless and mealy) and our server said the food would be out "soon", though it arrived fully half an hour after that. Even if we had been inclined to forgive the ineptitude of the servers, the food overall was not great. The crab pasta was supposed to be made with whole wheat linguini and it was overcooked vermicelli instead. French onion soup and eggplant parm was not good, but the ratatouille was.

Wonderful food and presentation. We are going to go back and try happy hour. Need to support a place like this. We were just back for happy hour. Kevin was great and the owner Helen came by to say hello. Reaffirmed our views on the food and atmoshere.

The food is unreal (better than mom's cooking!)...Helen is so kind and makes sure all meals are perfect. ***** five stars hands down.

Fantastic food and space outside if you want to eat/drink with your dog. Only downside - it's a little close to 355 so you get the traffic noise.

Food was really good. Location is a bit weird and the atmosphere is a little odd. I'd go back again for the food

Delicious food and great staff. Wait time was a little longer than I had expected

Delightful! Food is always delish and freshly prepared.
