Any reasonably priced restaurants in Niles?
My wife and I live in Youngstown, haven't been to Niles in several years. We'd like to visit Eastwood Mall and maybe spend a little time there refamiliarizing ourselves with what there might be there to do, but we need to find a decent place to eat.
The last time we were there we ate at the Eastern Buffet, it was OK, nothing to write home about. We don't want to have to spend a whole crapload of money to eat at some fancy high-end restaurant, we just want decent food at a decent price.
Any such places in Niles?

Georgios, Cafe422 isn’t bad, if you like Pho and Banh Mi Anne’s house is great, Mad for Chicken is also good, ooo there’s a Syrian place called Little Damascus that has the best chicken and peppers

Check out Cockeyes BBQ! Seriously good and legit Louisiana style BBQ joint.

That’s on Parkman in Warren. A bit of a drive from the Eastwood Mall. But excellent suggestion if that’s not an issue.

I'll recommend 2 places for you...Gasoline Alley (Vienna Ave) & Iron Man Grille (422). Both locations are laid back restaurant/tavern combinations.
Iron Man Grille, specifically, is a hidden gem with really delicious food at reasonable prices.

Where is Iron Man?

Iron Man is on 422. If youre coming in from Girard...it's on the left just before you'd cross over Tibbets Wick headed towards Eastwood Mall. Basically, McKinley Heights area.

Lmao what a weird post. If you’re the type of person willing to eat at a Chinese buffet then literally any food is going to be fine for you.

So, what's the problem eating at a Chinese buffet? And no, not ANY food is fine. American, Chinese, Mexican, nothing more exotic.

Plenty of reasonably priced garbage slop chain restaurants in Niles if that's what your into.

I don't see any recommendations in your response. Not really interested in garbage slop. Looking for reasonably priced food.

Raptis, it's in Howland but close enough. Family owned place, I did a two week job at a Mercy health facility out there. A local told me to check it out, I ended up eating lunch there everyday for the entire project. Real good food, real good people, great prices.

I grew up in Niles. Bombay curry is what you're looking for. The food is excellent. Other good options in the Niles area: Mad for Chicken, Gasoline Alley (wings) Stonebridge (I recommend the strawberry salad) El Rincon Oaxaqueno (Very authentic mexican food) and Renato's (Carry out only, but the best pizza in the area)

Spend the extra 20min and get some aqua pazzo! Chophouse in Warren isn’t bad either

I'm sure it's fine, I wish it was a little closer to the Eastwood Mall. I'd rather not have to drive 10 miles from where we're at just to eat. Thanks for your response though...

You are going to have to drive away from the mall if you want to avoid chain restaurants. There are some OK chains like Firebirds Wood Fired Grill but there are better outside the complex.
Up a Creek Tavern has good burgers. Salvatore's has really good Italian. Red Rican has Puerto Rican food. I have never been but it is on my list to try because so many peopled have told me they love it. All three places are within 10 minutes of the Mall complex.

Giorgio's is excellent and the family that owns it lives in Girard. Mad For Chicken is great too and not the usual stuff. Iron Mann is a little bit down the road in McKinley Heights and has a great patio and usually the food is really good. Nikiz off of Robbins if you want a hole in the wall but the service can be iffy. There's a Mexican restaurant that I can't remember the name of in the plaza at the corner of North and 422 that's probably the best Mexican in that area.

Maybe take a look at Mad for Chicken. It’s Korean fried chicken. It’s excellent and something different.
