Carhops

Awesome little spot in monroeville. Sandwiches are excellent as are the salads and fries. Generous portions. The man running it seemed very kind and passionate about the business (thinking maybe he is the owner?) and inquired several times about how we liked our food. Only downfall is that it’s cash only but that’s not enough to make this a place not worth trying! Give it a try– you won’t regret it!

This place is great! Food is always freshly cooked I recommend the steak and cheese hoagie it always hits the spot!

The food is good. Huge sandwiches. I was the only person in the place on a weekday. Ordered a sandwich and fries. I asked for iced tea. The order taker walked over and looked at the soda vending machine and said we have ice tea here. Went to pour the tea and it was water. Sandwich came without the fries. I asked if the fries were coming and he said «You didn’t order fries». Good food if you can get what you order.

My daughter and I accidently stumbled across this little gem while getting a few groceries at the Asian market in the same strip mall. While waiting for our food, we ordered a cheeseburger and fries to split as we were warned that the portions were large, we loved looking at all the cool signs and décor on the walls. The fries and cheese came first, which was great to munch on while we waited for the burger. And the burger itself was fantastic!
I would definitely recommend this place. Can’t wait to go back and try the cheese steak hoagies that they are known for.
Note: Make sure you take cash, they don’t accept credit cards.

I really don’t get it. All these high ratings, I mean. I came here once. It’s filthy. The sandwich was horrible. The «turbo fries» were just cold soggy fries. They charged $ 2.50 for a can of Coke. I really don’t get it.

Best steak hoagies in Monroeville. And the guys that work there are so nice and friendly every time I go there! The hoagies are really big and the fries with cheese are a must have!!!

Wow! These subs are amazing. I had the Z28 which was phenomenal. I ordered the half sub which was a footlong. I ordered fries to go with it and it came in a huge basket. All together it was $ 11.00 and it could honestly feed two people. I had no idea there was going to be so much food. Apparently the whole hoagie is two feet long. They don’t take credit or debit so be aware of that but who cares, the food was out of this world.

Had the Reuben sandwich, which was delicious! It was so big
that I had it for both lunch and dinner. The staff was very friendly
and the restaurant had a nice laid back vibe. I was digging all the
decorations and posters! I will definitely be going back to try some
of their other sandwiches in the near future.

The Diablo (cheese burger) we each had at Carhops today was fantastic! We really enjoy this place. You get a ton of really good food, for a reasonable price. The fries are always fresh/​hot. The people that work there are friendly and fun! We have also had their subs and are looking forward to trying the Friday Fish sandwich special sometime soon! Definitely a great place to stop if you’re in or near Monroeville.

Find this place randomly gotta say great food, and a lot of food for the price. Will for sure go back to this place.

Stopped in on a visit to Pittsburgh, had the Impala ss, the bread was fresh and all the ingredients where also. it’s more then worth a return visit

Love this place! Very friendly! Food was great. It was a great experience the menu is very creative. I had the z 28 it was delicious. If you like cars this is a cool to check out.

Great food! Best subs in Monroeville! Love the Cajun chicken with the pepper relish! Staff is great very friendly and quick. Nuts and bolts (fried mushrooms) an turbo cheese fries (fries, cheese, and hot sauce) are great too! Nice chill atmosphere too. Salads are gigantic and good too. And have to mention the ruben that is also gigantic and enough for two. If you get a ruben to go get fixins on the side or sandwich will be a mess by the time you get home.
Two notes, cash only and subs are huge! Regular (coupe) is a foot and Sedan is a 2 foot sub.
Highly recommended over the subways, Quiznos, Penn stations, and Rudy’s of Monroeville. MUCH better food.
I wish they served beer here, however they do not. This would be a perfect place for a six pack shop like Uncle Sam’s subs in Aspinwall, who are also very good. However I would guess byob would be fine.

I had a really bad day. Like really awful, all I want to do is sit on the couch in my flannel monkey pajamas and watch terrible wedding shows. Needless to say, I had zero urge to get up and make anything to eat, let alone go to the grocery store or a restaurant. So I looked up delivery places in Monroeville, and up popped Carhop’s.
Now I’ve lived in Monroeville for 4 years, but I didn’t even know of Carhop’s existence… I do remember passing it, but I thought it was a car shop I guess — apparently I don’t pay attention. So I checked out the website and decided to order out. I chose the Volvo Vegetarian, some cheese fries, and fried mushrooms — the perfect blend of grease and cheese to suppress my anger at the world.
About 20 minutes later it arrived… a GIANT sub. Holy Toledo, apparently the «sedan» subs are 2 feet long (what?!?). I had no idea… guess I’ll have some leftovers. The food is overall decent. Good fries, good cheese on the fries (not that nacho cheese garbage), great bread for the sub (thin subs, but everything tastes fresh). I feel slightly less annoyed with the world. The only thing to keep in mind is that you can’t order takeout with a credit card — cash or check only. Meh. I can handle that. I will go back for more greasy goodness in the future.
And to clarify, I did indeed answer the door in my flannel monkey pajamas. The delivery guy was really nice, though I’m sure he was judging (who wouldn’t?).

This place is awesome. I love how laid back it is, how friendly the guys are. And the food, once you have it you’ll understand.

One of the best cheese steaks in Pittsburgh, Hands down! You must head out to the one in monroeville and order yourself a z28 hoagie and some turbo fries. You will not be disappointed. The bread is always fresh and comes in daily from the bread works and the food is amazing.

This place is set in a strip mall off the main road a bit. Hard to find even with gps. Thought it would be interesting based off the info I got on Unilocal.Maybe Unilocal is different in other areas. I guess you gotta work with what you got.
Got fries, wings and Philly steak sandwich. Nothing outstanding. Certainly not worth a detour. But service was friendly.

I used to go to the one on West Liberty avenue and since I’ve moved to California have spent at least once a week complaining about how it is impossible to get a good hoagie out here… and I keep whining that I can’t get carhops out there. So I came home to Pittsburgh this last weekend and found… the location on West Liberty was closed in the process of moving to the strip district… nooo! I needed carhops now! I couldn’t wait any longer and wouldn’t be home for months to get another fix so… I drove to Monroeville. Yes, in traffic, in the rain to Monroeville from Dormont to get my hands on a Carhops hot Italian sub dripping with yummy slightly vinegary goodness.
I also thought it was cool they had red birch beer as a fountain drink and it was pretty delicious.
If I didn’t live 2800 miles away this place would be a problem for me.

Great local place for a subs, burgers, fries, wings, etc. Their subs come in 1foot and 2 foot sizes. Comparing these to say… subway or quiznos. I would say they are slightly skinnier and are mostly meat and onions instead of heapfuls of lettuce. The selection is huge, and everytime I am there I choose something I haven’t had or don’t remember having.
The place itself is a shrine to old cars and you can spend the whole time looking around as you chew your food.
Awesome for lunch.

I love Carhops! I have been going there for years! They also have a location on West Liberty Avenue.
They have hoagies, burgers, fries, wings, salads sandwiches etc. Every hoagie is named after a car. You have two choices in sandwich sizes, coupe — 1ft and sedan — 2ft. They offer cheesesteaks, chicken, reubens and Italian subs.
I love their burgers too. All of which are named after Lamborghini’s such as the Diablo, Countach, Espada, Muira and Jalpa. My favorite burger is the Jalpa. It consist of a cheeseburger with melted cheddar cheese and bacon and is outstanding!
They are open:
Monday — Saturday
10:30 am — 8:00pm
Sunday
12:00pm — 5:00pm
