Fans of the family-owned restaurant pushed it ahead of First Watch.
Congratulations go out this week to the Freedom Square Diner! The family-owned restaurant on Freedom Road blew away the competition in this week’s poll asking readers which business in the Cranberry area serves up the best brunch.

Primanti Brothers—by a vote.
Earlier this week, we asked readers where they go to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in the Cranberry area. And well, we didn't get many votes. We just figured most of you are heading to Pittsburgh to take in the annual St. Paddy's Day parade, which is billed as the second-largest fete in the country. Our suggestions for Cranberry celebration destinations included: Houlihan’s in Cranberry Jergel’s Rhythm Grill in Warrendale to Catch No Bad Ju Ju Primanti Brothers in Cranberry Harmony Inn in Harmony Shamrock Shuffle Half Marathon and 5K run/walk in Harmony Bottlebrush Gallery in Harmony to take in performances by Shawn MacIntyre, Ploughshare Poets, Trad and Non-Trad Celtic. McDonald's to get a limited-edition Shamrock Shake... Mmmm After a …

We’ve heard that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, which will be celebrated on Saturday.

It was a tough choice between St. Kilian and St. Gregory.
After a lot of voting—and some great comments—we’d like to congratulate St. Kilian Parish for being named the winner of this week’s Readers’ Choice poll. St. Kilian’s, which is located on Route 228 and Franklin Road in Cranberry, is the Readers’ Choice based on the number of votes and comments the church received for its annual fish fry. We’re also giving St. Gregory Catholic Church in Zelienople special recognition because of the numerous positive comments the church received for its popular fish fry. A total 600 people voted in the poll. Of that, St. Kilian’s received 318 votes. St. Ferdinand Catholic Church received 134 votes and St. Gregory followed close behind with 125 votes. The St. Kilian Fish Fry is offered from 4 to 8 p.m. every …
