You can also take the healthy route and go with a “Power Wrap” which consists of egg whites, sun dried tomatoes, mixed greens, feta cheese, and wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla.

Lunch items – I cannot emphasize this enough; good food takes time! At Guy’s Market it takes time for the food to be cooked, everything is made to order and fresh! Their portions are also large, and you will not leave hungry!

Sammiches – The “Cali Baby” (captioned) features succulent, house-smoked turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, tomatoes, mixed greens, and is housed on two slices of bread. The “Fuel Up” starts with grilled chicken breast, bacon, cheddar cheese, and is finished with honey Dijon mustard which adds a great flavor kick and is served on a warm bun. Who does not love a good Philly Cheesesteak? The “Philly Me Up” starts with your choice of grilled sirloin steak, or grilled chicken, peppers, onions, melted provolone cheese, and finished with mayo layered on an Italian hoagie boat.

Wrap it up – The “Blazin Buffalo” showcases chicken tenders fried to a golden brown and tossed in a deluge of spicy buffalo sauce. It is topped with cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, and house made ranch. You can also substitute grilled chicken. If you do not want the heat The “Southern Comfort” wrap is similar and uses barbecue sauce instead of buffalo. You cannot go wrong with the “Turkey” wrap as it uses their house-smoked turkey and topped with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Salats – Morgan Guy, the mastermind behind the menu, had a vision that she wanted to be a place that offered a good affordable salad that was not iceberg lettuce. A lot of her menu is based off areas of opportunity that she had seen with other places in the area not offering healthier type options, while not sacrificing taste that classic restaurant food is known for.

Salat selections include the “Cobb on” which is fresh mixed greens, grilled or fried chicken, crispy bacon, tomatoes, avocado, hard boiled eggs, and cheddar cheese. Kale is a super food for its many health benefits, and the “Kale Yeah” has plenty of it! It has a mountain of baby kale topped with dried cranberries, candid pecans, bacon, feta cheese, and sliced apples. The “Yinzer” is your typical Pittsburgh style salad. You get a choice of grilled sirloin steak or chicken, cheddar cheese, fries, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, hard boiled egg, a top a bed of mixed greens.
