New American Restaurants in Pittsburgh, PA

“Great neighborhood pub vibes but a little more elevated. Fair prices and great seasonal fare.“

“Look for our server, David M. Friendly, great sense of humor, provided advice on food and drinks. I wanted a Porter or a stout, and he joyfully replied “Left Hand Milk Stout!” He nailed it.“

“We didn’t have food. Stopped for a drink before a Penguins game. Our bartender Lindsay was top notch. She gave us an education on mixology. We concocted an old fashioned with High West Campfire bourbon and molasses bitters that came out as the best old fashioned I ever had. Always great experience here but Lindsay made it perfect.“

“City Winery Pittsburg is a cool place. Prices were high but we weren’t surprised. We did a wine flight, a glass of ros’e and hummus with pita for $59…The hummus was good but came with four small, burnt triangles of pita bread. We ate the four pieces and still had 3/4 of hummus left. We had to ask for more bread and it took 25 minutes for it to come out! They finally brought us four more burnt pieces- luckily they didn’t charge us extra for them. The wines were okay- nothing I’d go out of my way for. The bartender was very nice but overall it was not worth the money in my opinion. I would recommend people try it out in hopes they have a better experience. Just don’t order the hummus… or at least bring your own pita!“

“We had the best time here recently!! Food, staff, drinks, all amazing. The courses were fun and they kept things moving smoothly, very organized. We will definitely be back!“

“We had some outstanding new menu items but had to start with old favorite the smoked trout rillettes, they are so bright and delicious. The Asparagus with Lobster and sauce Americaine was an eye-opener. I had never had Sauce Americaine before, and it was subtle and wonderful. We shared the roasted half chicken with spring salad which was out of this world. the peas and sugar snap peas in the salad were so fresh and delicious. the dressing and the sauce for the chicken melded together to make a wonderful flavor. Wines were tasty and the service ws great.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Had a wonderful burrito for lunch today. Cheaper than chipotle with many more choices.“

“One of our top 5 restaurants in our decades of eating out! Inventive, unique, and well crafted cocktails to the Porchetta and Crab Trophie to the amazing Creme Brulee and affagato...All top notch! These chefs know what they are doing!!! Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays when we are normally in town otherwise we'd be here monthly!“

“We went to G’s for our anniversary and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Great quiet and cozy atmosphere, stellar service, and incredible food and drinks. Every dish was full of flavor and the textures were all beautifully done. Even the bread basket was amazing with maple butter. It felt like a 5 star dining experience for a reasonable person. Excited to go back again soon.“

“Supereme Nachos were loaded with all the right toppings—perfect for sharing.“

“Went in on a crowded, busy night, but the bartenders were immediately responsive and friendly still. They have a wide variety of drinks, and all four that two of us tried were really memorable and unique. For sure a place to return to and try the whole menu“

“The meal was absolutely perfect. Ambience is totally on point and the staff was friendly with good suggestions. I loved the food the pancakes with pistachio sauce are out of bounds. I even ran into some old friends and made new ones too. You’ve gotta go. Thanks nook!“

“We had täkō last night in Pittsburgh for the first time and it was SO GOOD! They had their Spookeasy pop up Halloween bar and the set up was so cool, it was pretty packed with it being Halloween weekend but it was such a cool atmosphere! We ended up getting seats at the bar and the two bartenders were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with deciding what drinks we wanted to try! The tacos.....the octopus is the BEST, chorizo was second best for me. Pictures aren't the greatest, but it's the best I got. Definitely a great time if you're feeling fancy 🍶 It's not cheap, but I'd say definitely worth it for the food, drinks, staff and just the atmosphere of it all.“

“Service was great and the burger I got was delicious I would highly recommend you try it out when your in Pittsburgh“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place! They invited our specials needs kiddos in and not only made us the most wonderful, delicious pizzas but it was all on the house! They treated the kids so well! Highly recommend this place to everyone!! Thank you so much for donating lunch to us! The kids absolutely loved it!“

“We’re from out of town but liked it so much a couple years ago that it’s our go to place when we’re in Pittsburgh. The happy hour drinks make it very affordable and the popcorn snack is very tasty to go with the beer and cocktails. Nice chill vibe and seems to be a neighborhood spot.“

“The Commoner’s kitchen knows what they’re doing, and it shows in every dish. The menu is straightforward but executed with real attention to detail and bold, well-balanced flavors. The Spicy Crab Dip is rich, creamy, and just the right amount of heat, paired with perfectly crisp toast for scooping. It’s the kind of appetizer that disappears fast. The Crispy Potatoes are a must-order—deeply golden, crunchy outside, soft inside, and made even better with a velvety taleggio cheese fondue and roasted garlic butter. Simple, but perfect. The Pork is cooked exactly how you want it—juicy, well-seasoned, and served with sides that let the meat shine. It’s clear the chefs here care about the details, from technique to balance on the plate. Service is friendly and efficient, the drinks are well-crafted, and the atmosphere is lively but comfortable. No gimmicks, just seriously good food made by a team that knows what they’re doing.“

“The shrimp with house made cavatelli is to die for!!!! Can’t wait to come back.“

“Honestly the meatballs here are worth the visit alone - I've never had meatballs that tasted complex, so rich and interesting. Everything was fantastic, their wine menu is superb, the cool atmosphere with the wall of plants - I'm definitely coming back here to try the chicken parm. I had the arctic char as my main and it was delicious, perfectly cooked, just the right amount of food. Also tried the Calabrian pesto, which was A+. Rich, nutty interesting.“

“This was my first time at Bonfire and it was amazing! Our waitress Julia was very personable and it was evident that she made an effort to interact with us! I would definitely go back!“

“MY friend and I went there on Saturday to celebrate our birthdays..Our server Adam was simply amazing. He patiently waited for us to decide on our drink order and went as far as to let us try the drink to see if we liked it, which we didn’t but he took it off our bill and then brought us a birthday card and wished us a happy birthday. The food was very delicious. But our main complaint comes down to Adam !! He was so fantastic and such a kind person . They truly have a rare gem in him as an employee! I hope they appreciate him because he is what makes it a truly wonderful experience there. We will definitely go back there and if we are lucky Adam will be our server.!!!“

“Andra Moorea is the best option too run to if you are new into stock market she has been the best I have worked with and i recommend“

“Super cool vibe! Live music, huge selection of cocktails and nice people🤙🏻“

“amazing food, bulgolgi is amazing, the kimchi fried rice is to die for, and don't forget to start with the killer tofu as well. can't wait to go back!“

“Dive bar vibe - Dark & Vintage. They're hot cheese balls were pretty good. They were not the best cheese curds that I have ever had, but they were decent. If you like your cheese curds extra cheesy, these are for you. We also got 2 burgers were which were extremely large, & cooked well done which wasn't very good. The fries were subpar and the chips were just plain generic ruffle chips -not made in house or anything. I would have loved another option to not have a side. This place was not super expensive which was cool but probably wouldn't come here again.“

“I do not recommend this place. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar last night and were never even acknowledged. We stayed for 10-15 and after no acknowledgement from the bartender or service we left. Rhonda and Chon at the hot chocolate stand were quite the opposite of our experience inside. They were both so helpful and accommodating.“

“My wife & I go to dinner with a few other couples once a month. We go down the alphabet & go to non chain restaurants. We picked Meat & Potatoes for M. This was all of our first time at the restaurant. We were seated in the side 1 table room, the service was great, it was like our own little space. My wife & I got the 2 Tomahawk steaks, bone marrow, asparagus, & shoestring fries. Everything was amazing, we all got different starters to share. We got the pig candy, all starters were great! There was not one complaint from the table, we will definitely be back. I have known the owner for a very long time, & been to his other places & been just as satisfied. GREAT JOB RICK & ALL OF YOUR STAFF!“

“Wonderful dinner in downtown Mount Lebanon. Sarah, our server, was so attentive to every detail of our meal. Mediterranean plate and potsticker appetizers were delicious! Wide wine by the glass selection which was a treat. All meals were superb. Loved the triple chocolate cake for dessert.“

“A great local place for wings and a cold beer. Very good prices on liquor as well. A fun local place to get good quality food and have a beer. They have a couple machines available to play and the locals are always friendly. It closes early so no real issues.“

“Great food, service, & atmosphere!“

“I had ordered memorial chimes with flower arragment at bottom. It was so beautiful and Jennifer was so very helpful and wonderful to work with even over the phone. After the flower arragment was done she sent me a text of what it looked like and it was awsome. I will definitely go there again and highly recommend this place . Wonderful job and pleasant people made this sad time so much easier. Thank you“

“Best pancakes! Great service. Highly recommend!“

“A great dive type of bar, with the best breakfast and chicken wings around. An older type of crowd tends to be here during breakfast hours with soft playing music. While the night vibe is pretty much a 34yr to 48ish crowd. It's commonly RnB and Hip Hop with the drinks coming out strong and heavy. All while being served by some pretty great female bartenders.“

“Excellent service! Variety of food. Food was perfect! Nice atmosphere.“

“I had an amazing blackened salmon salad tonight with one of the best dressings I’ve ever had, hands down! The honey lemon vinaigrette is perfection, don’t pass it up when you go! I’m pumped to come back and try more of it all. Everything looked amazing on the menu, the food I saw come out looked great, the staff and atmosphere were all on point, music and the whole vibe was perfect. Its casual wear with a nice patio, different rooms for parties, everything was super clean and it has great food and drinks! Don’t miss this spot when you’re in Mt Washington next time!!“

“A staple of The Strip District.  The Beerhive is a neighborhood bar and grill that has tons of beer options, both canned and rotating taps.  They have a full bar as well and feature specialty cocktails from time to time.   They have burgers, wings, tacos and more, all made from scratch in-house while using tons of local ingredients.  Their meatballs, burgers and wing sauces are all made on site. I tried the fried pickles which are hand breaded Pittsburgh Pickle Company pickles served with spicy ranch. Their smash burger is amazing, the burger is sourced entirely within walking distance of their front door! The bun is from Mancini’s, the meat is from Strip District Meats, the cheese is from Penn Mac, the onions are from Local Provisions, the pickles are Pittsburgh Pickle Company & the Hive sauce is made in house! It’s a local Pittsburgh business sandwich spectacular!!! Of course had to get it with their delicious fresh cut fries!“

“The Yard Burger Bundle was a great deal with top-notch quality.“
