50 Best American Restaurants near Aspinwall

“We visited Cornerstone for Brunch. I had an omelette with leeks and asparagus and a white sangria. The food and drinks are really good here. Expertly crafted with great nuances of flavor.
Cornerstone is a bit overpriced for portion size but not extremely.
The service here is lacking for me. There is just a snobbish aura from the staff who only seem particularly interested in their regular, repeat customers. New customers seem to be treated with covert flippancy. Therefore, I probably won't be back unfortunately.“

“For six years I have been looking for a new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh since my old favorite one closed. I have never found a place that had the perfect food and atmosphere I was looking for until I entered Lilith last night. Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. The service from being greeted to the absolutely awesome server we had was excellent! The food had a wow factor rarely found in Pittsburgh. I’m not usually a huge fan of how vegetables are cooked most places and the veggies in my dish just blew things out of the water. You could tell they were fresh and local too. The fish I had was just amazing. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Needless to say I will be back again and again now to experience more culinary delights!“

“Nice place to take the family or a date. Fun atmosphere for a night out with friends or a game night. The food is good and staff are amazing.“

“Food was amazing. Location is awful. Came out after dinner and our car was smeared with ketchup packets. Wish it was in a different area, would definitely go back. Feel the area is not safe.“

“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!“

“Finally had a chance to stop in and have dinner, I wish I had come sooner. The staff was friendly and courteous. The food and presentation were excellent. Definitely stop in if you in the area.“

“Where can I begin… the food was delicious! Friendly service and real conversation. My family and I are from Indiana visiting for the weekend and we wanted to try Grandma B’s. Went on Saturday morning and it was so impressive we said “We’re coming back tomorrow before we leave!” Only to return Sunday morning and they had standing room only! Sadly my party and I were just going to head back to Indiana, hungry when they called us back in and said”We’re going to make room for you all up top.” They proceeded to prepare another area upstairs to accommodate our party! Hands down best food in service in Pittsburgh!“

“Wonderful venue, amazing owner. I went to see one of my favorite artists (Geordie Greep) and after the show was over, the owner was kind enough to let me hang around and get my record signed by all of the band members. She really didn't have to do that, it was very kind and I am glad I gave them my business, truly a great venue“

“I visited for a late breakfast, and everything was wonderful. The food was generous and delicious. I ordered the Guy's Breakfast, and the scrambled eggs were generous and perfectly prepared, the home fries had a lovely and savory taste, the sausage was real and delicious, and the ricotta pancake was fantastic. It was a filling breakfast and I didn't eat again until much later in the day.

Also, a special shout out to Dustin and Amanda for the excellent service!“

Excited to go back again soon.“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Justin and his team at Just in Thyme. Taylor was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the entire planning process, always answering my questions with care. When I toured the venue, I had the pleasure of meeting Justin, and he is truly one of the kindest, most professional, and well-spoken business owners I’ve ever worked with. Brenda was also amazing—she helped set up the night before, listened to every detail of my vision, and executed it beautifully. They absolutely nailed every aspect of my bridal shower. There wasn’t a single request they couldn’t accommodate, and the food was absolutely incredible. The event staff was on top of everything the entire day, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Justin and his team went above and beyond, exceeding my expectations in every way. I will definitely be back for future events and highly recommend Just in Thyme to anyone looking for an exceptional venue and catering experience!“

“Big portions, home cooked food. We go once every few months and I've never had a meal I didn't like. The French onion soup and the pecan balls are my favorites. Their pizza crust is probably the only thing I avoid; it's not bad, but it's not good.“

“As a celiac, it’s hard for me to find a place where I feel comfortable eating and can eat “normal”. Our meal last night checked both boxes! Chris was amazing and put me at ease. The food was delicious, and I loved all the flavors in the grapple burger! Thanks for being so good to the gluten free community!“

“Food Was Awesome!

Service Was Great and Friendly!

The Atmosphere was Cool! Reminds me of one of my favorite Cabin Restaurants up in the San Bernardino Mountains of California.

Highly Recommended!“

“My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Our server, Colton, was pretty fantastic. He made our experience there so great-elegant but fun. The food was a whole other level. I am dairy free and they were very accommodating. Overall, amazing experience.“

“great food and service tonight. highly recommend“

“The word amazing comes to mind. The food and the staff here are just phenomenal. Stopped here in my travels. I ordered the fish sandwich and a half dozen wings. The price of the wings scared me if I am being honest. But when they came out ai completely understand. You dont get a tiny wing, no you get the entire wing. Flat, drum and the tip. They are huge, they are cooked to absolute perfection. Amazing job guys“

“I’ve been coming to Jodi B’s for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always comforting and delicious - whether I’m in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the portions are generous, the flavors feel like home, and everything’s fresh. They also serve some of the best full wings around - crispy, flavorful, and always cooked just right.

What really makes this place shine is the service. The staff here are genuinely warm and welcoming - like they’re happy to see you, not just serve you. It’s the kind of spot where you walk in and feel like family.

It’s also great for locals - lots of familiar faces in the dining room, folks stopping in just to catch up or say hi. If you’re in Forest Hills and want a place with good food and good people, Jodi B’s is where you’ll want to go.

Highly recommend!“

“We get take out from here every few weeks and it's always delicious. The order is exactly right and ready when promised. The sweet slaw is excellent. Burgers, pulled pork/chicken/brisket all yummy. Recommend!!“

“Absolutely delicious! Everything from the cocktails to the food and atmosphere is perfect!“

“My daughter and I sat on the patio for lunch and had a really great time! The Steelers game was playing on a huge outdoor TV. There only a few open tables because this place was bustling but not chaotic. A truly laid back vibe.

The menu selection was fantastic, something for everyone. We ordered spam musibi, pretzels with cheese and the tempura prawn salad (I added avocado and tuna poké). Everything was really delicious and beautifully plated.

I highly recommend City Kitchen...and Trader Joe's is just a block away. 🙂“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my son there yesterday. What a cool place and cool history. Jessica was awesome and even gave us a private tour of the entire building. Food was amazing and we will definitely be back soon.!!!“

“We chose this restaurant as it was close to our hotel and had reasonable reviews. What we found was great food (the fried kale condiment is superb), a nice atmosphere, friendly and good service and a nice noise level. This is obviously a favorite with locals. We would return if in the area again!“

“Great food! Good service! Highly recommend ��“
