Trophys Bar And Grill - Johnstown (PA)

5 /5 Matthew Haslett: Had a late lunch today at Trophys Bar and Grill, our first time ever eating at this establishment. Their new location is in the old Saints Peter & Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Saint Clair Rd. and that was our main reason for going: to check out the architecture of the building, the stained glass windows, etc. The stained glass windows are beautiful and looked to be well preserved. The building itself is cool, very much what youd expect from a church in this area, nice and open inside, very high ceilings, really cool setting and nice to see the building being put to use after being listed for sale (Im not sure why it is no longer a church, I dont know the history of it, I just know it used to be a church and now it is not). The setting was very peaceful and we liked it! The service was great, regretfully we didnt catch the name of our server but she was very pleasant and attentive. The food was very good and I felt especially compelled to post a review because of a prior 1-star review that was posted about the "disgusting food". Whenever I see a 1-star review that is completely negative and the person has nothing at all good, or at least neutral, to say about a place, I question the veracity of the statement. The owner replied to the "review" in a very professional manner and that really resonated with me, the fact that they took the time to reply to something very professionally while the review seemed like a "hit piece" and didnt seem like it warranted much, if any, of a response. For the record, I do not know anyone connected with this establishment, I just dont like to see a small business run into the ground for something that was more than likely a one-off problem, if there was even any problem in the first place. Social media is great in that it allows you to browse businesses and get a feel for somewhere with never having been there, but as with so many things, it is a double-edged sword that also allows people to post things that almost surely should have been handled in person or via a phone call. It was not stated that the reviewer attempted to resolve the issue prior to their post, and to me thats not fair to the business whatsoever, they should be given the chance to rectify the situation before being "put on blast" by someone sitting behind a keyboard. I ordered the Reuben sandwich not only because I like that sandwich in general, but I specifically wanted to see how it was here and I can say that it was delicious! Whenever we stop in again I will definitely order it (after having sampled some of the other tasty sounding offerings)!! We also had the toasted ravioli, fried pickles, a hearty hamburger, mac & cheese, and chicken tenders, and everything was delicious and served promptly. To top it off, our 2 1/2 year old daughter really enjoyed the food, and anyone that knows kids knows that they will most definitely let you know if something is not up to their standards and she was happy with everything she had/sampled! :)

5 /5 Debra Hoffman: First of all. After reading some of the past reviews makes me wonder if we were at the same TROPHYS !! As last night . Yes the service was a little slow .. only because they were packed but the waitress was very pleasant.. and when the food came out it was well worth it .. salmon dinner. I’m amazed that with that size of crowd all 4 dinners were perfect. Salmon cooked to perfection . A light tangy sweet sauce .. and our sides were huge !! And everything piping hot .. PLUS they took a reservation for a party of 4 … I thought that was very rare these days .. makes me wonder who actually was sending those negative reviews.

1 /5 Burt Henry: Disgusting food. Idk if they just have bad cooks or a dirty kitchen or what but this is supposed to be a “Ruben” and it’s absolutely disgusting and not anything like an authentic Ruben. Everything tastes burnt and old is is over cooked. Will never eat here again.

5 /5 Patrick R: Located in a former Eastern right Catholic Church The interior and exterior are beautiful. Large u-shaped bar and plenty of seating. The wings and salads are really good and a step above your usual sports bar. 20 draft beers on tap is what pulled me in and I came back three more times before I went back from my stay in Johnstown. There is also a large detached building being utilized as a game room, I believe there are pool tables and such but I didnt go in.

3 /5 Toccara Chanel: I didn’t know they changed locations. This new location is a church. Way far far back down this long dark road. Parking lot is very tiny. Definitely bigger than the old location. This is my first try at their food and the wing were so good and tasty. They were spicy like I like & they had my nose running and eyes watering but the celery that I paid for wasn’t even washed you can see the dirt on them and they could of at least cut the ends off for presentation. This makes me wonder if they’re cleaning in the kitchen and using proper sanitation and healthy food prepping. Thats very important.
