Sometimes we zip through the drive-thru at our local fast-food joint to grab a quick meal. Other times, however, we have the luxury of time to sit down to a delicious meal in a restaurant. When we’re on the lookout for a restaurant at which to dine, we probably consider several factors — food quality, wait time, and location. For a unique setting where you can indulge in a scrumptious meal, head over to this castle restaurant near Pittsburgh.

Nestled on nearly 270 acres in Ellwood City, Shakespeare’s Restaurant and Pub sits in a majestic castle surrounded by a lush golf course. Inspired by the 16th-century clubhouse castles, the castle opened in 1999.
