“Excellent Enough said A 10“

“A cute corner restaurant. Came in around noon, and it was empty.
Service is a bit slow, but food made up for it.
The fried Brussels sprouts were recommended by our waitress. They’re good, fried and tossed in a sweet chili sauce.
I got the grilled chicken sandwich, pretty good, but I liked the fries better.“

“INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS dogs 🌭 this place is top notch, and up until now, the best wein I’ve had in Pittsburgh.

Huge menu with unique options, and an authentic Chicago Dog that will blow. your. mind. A ‘Burgh staple for the glizzy community 🙌🏼“

“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!“

“I have some interesting compulsions. The staff let me sweep leaves that were bothering me during an EDM show. That's some next level customer satisfaction.

Beyond that, the venue is amazing. Excellent acoustics, great layout, multiple bars for beverage needs(if that's your thing), as well as a kitchen tucked in the back.“

“Best Meatloaf I ever had in my life.. Food was incredible but it took a long time.“

“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!“

“best dining we've had in a long time! every part of the menu felt so curated. every staff member was so friendly. we had the nicest waitress who explained everything really well. I even felt like the prices were really fair for more upscale food. we will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“food fantastic . waitstaff lovely.“

“Great food and wait staff!“

“had lunch dec. 13th all 4 of us had a good time thanks to our waitress terry, food was fantastic“

“You’ll never leave hungry or broke !!!“

“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.“

“We had 7 people. Made reservations 2 wks prior. Food was delicious. One person got chicken parm, specifically answered "no" when asked if she wanted noodles. The meal came with noodles under her chicken. Also, there was an issue with their check. Waitress never brought the slip that gets signed from using credit card. She insisted she gave it, didn't understand they needed the part the customer actually signs. Not sure what the issue was but waitress realized she never actually rang it up which is why they didn't get the slip. So those 2, although they did like the food, weren't real happy with the service. Waitress spoke in double time. So fast it was hard to understand what she was saying. Seemed kind of moody so not sure if it was just a bad day for her, or if she's always this way. But the food was delicious!“

“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!“

“Super GOOD food. Know the owners and they have done a fantastic job here. Friendly atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and again the food here is simply fantastic!!!!!!!“

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

“EXCELLENT DELI GREAT FOOD VERY CLEAN ANS FRIENDLY SERVICE THE BEST IN PITTSBURGH“

“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!“

“It is like walking into "Cheers" The staff there is excellent. And "Joe" the Bartender is so Friendly and Funny We love him and will Always go back when we are in town 🍻🥃💜“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“great food and service tonight. highly recommend“

“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!“

“I don't drink so I don't frequent bars often. This is the 2nd time in a year I've stopped her, it was my birthday and just didn't want to be alone.
The young lady bartender happened to be the same one from like 6 months ago.

She recommended the Peach Margarita and it was delicious. Drank two and had a decent buzz going.

I waited for my food and when it came, it was flawless. I mean, for bar food.....its bar food but that shit was actually phenomenal.

All in all.....this young lady bartender makes me feel so welcome and not a bother at all..I would go back just because whoever that girl is on this 9/30/24 evening around makes me feel welcome and like she's happy I'm there.

Their wings are fantastic.

Edit: to put it in perspective, I first went to Carl's (nothing against Carl's).....i ordered a Guiness Draft and she must've heard Yeungling(spelling), so she gave me a glass of Yeungling. I'm too nice to say she messed up, I started to think maybe I did say Yeungling BUT HATE IT Why whould I say it? I don't even drink.

So my pathetic self sat there and tried to drink it. I took 3 or 4 sips, left a 2 or 3 dollar tip and walked out with nowhere else to go. Then I remembered how nice the bartender was at RoseCliff.....and could you believe, IT WAS HER AGAIN.

I've been married 18 years and I'm sure I'm much older than her so it's nothing weird like that but she is naturally kind and doesn't make me feel dumb because I'm not an alcoholic that knows about all the alcohol.

Whoever she is......pay her. Keep her. I don't know her name but I'm the guy that came in alone and got 2 peach margaritas, French dip and 6 wings to go. I added the "well done" to the wings late after I already ordered and them wings WERE PERRRRRRRRRRRRRFECTLY overcooked. No joke. Gotta bring my daughter next time (adult daughter)“

“Food here is absolutely delicious, I highly recommend if you're in the area looking for a good place to eat. As for the wings anyone who loves flats out there, or even for the drum lovers for a dollar extra you can order either all flats or all drums.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“fav place for bingo, wing night, or even a quick bite. always great service and great bartenders!!!“

“Waitor was very attentive,fast service as well, fries a bit salty but definitely cooked with perfection. The BURGER IS SO JUICY, it was dripping. Very good. The atmosphere was very chill with eclectic music and beautiful ambiance. Definitely recommend.“

“Great food, service, & atmosphere!“

“As a Wedding Officiant I can't say enough about this venue! They are always on point and every Wedding I've been a part of has been amazing!! The staff is wonderful as always ;)“

“Went there for the first time on a Saturday for dinner. Nice place with lots of options. Our server who was doubling as cook was super nice and answered all our questions and special requests. I got the Cranberry Poppins salad. It was fresh, delicious and very large. The rest of my party had the fish sandwich, the chicken tenders and fries and the Alcove Burger. Everyone liked their food. We left just as the band was setting up. Would definitely go back again.“

“Very, very nice cafe. Great spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch, with many of the breakfast classics and some of their own delicious spins. They are best known for their ricotta blueberry pancakes, which I tried alongside their croissant breakfast sandwich.

First, the pancakes. These were definitely quite good. Tons of real blueberries (whole little pieces) all through a fluffy pancake. And, they make their own syrup as well! I will say, I would have preferred a stronger ricotta flavor to cut some of the sweetness. But, they were still very good pancakes.

The croissant sandwich came with egg and cheese, as well as a side of home fries. They cooked the eggs perfectly, and included just the right amount of cheese. Their default is a fried egg (you can see they got the yolk just right), but personally, I prefer scrambled eggs. You can ask for scrambled eggs for no charge, so next time I will do so. It was a super flavorful sandwich! Really nice and buttery croissant as well.

The potatoes were also very good. Cooked well and seasoned to perfection. I’m surprised as to how much flavor this side had! They salted it quite a bit too.

All in all, I really liked this spot. Nice portions (the croissant was huge and so were the pancakes), prices were reasonable, and quality was excellent. Would definitely go back!“

“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!!“

“Love the salad bar at this location, that's a tough find anymore and if you do it isnt fresh or nearly as clean as this place. Food is always cooked perfectly and love some of the new menu additons like the Fisherman's Platter! Great for Lent!“

“Great views, great food and best service“

“Great place to play Buzz Worthy Pub Trivia! Thanks to the co-sponsors, the Hop Farm craft brewery! And congratulations to our top teams — Eric’s Not Here, (declines photo), and Team Gilpin Hayes ~“

“We have lived up the street for 7 years and have always been hesitant to order from here. We finally decided to order the wings to go, and they were so good! The price is amazing for the quantity, whole wings served in a catering size tray. The sauces (BBQ and ranch) weren't the best but we will definitely be ordering again!“
