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!“

“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!“

“It's in the grand tradition of a facility in Lawrenceville that is much larger on the inside than it appears. The bars all throughout make it convenient to keep hydrated, and the food is easy to order and the table side delivery is nice.
I really like this place and the shows they put on.“

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 recently had a mercy lunch buffet at the moonlite cafe and it was great . The banquet hall was nice and spacious and the food was really good . I would highly recommend this place for your event needs or just visiting for a drink and a bite to eat .“

“Our favorite spot for beer and snacks after a run in Frick Park. Great local energy and friendly bartenders. Be sure to check out the weekly specials — the hotdog menu is delicious and extensive. They also have one of the best beer lists in the area. I love being able to grab an IPA, lager or imperial stout all in one place. You can also grab beer to go here as well. Check out D’s…you won’t regret it!“

“Our first time here, stopped for a coffee and to use the restroom ( lol) saw the menu and had to order!
The blueberry ricotta pancakes melt in your mouth so so good!
The potatoes seasoned and cooked to perfection! The bacon was also perfectly done with a nice smoky, not salty taste!
Jason was so friendly and attentive! He welcomed us back again to try lunch( Ruebens )
Can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

She's quite elderly now and the staff is always very patient and accommodating. We appreciate them hope to continue dining there for years to come.“

“I enjoyed my lunch. The food came out hot fresh and delicious and my server was wonderful. I’ll definitely be returning again.“

“Pearl was outstanding and very accommodating. Definitely a great asset to the establishment.“

“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.“

“Love the food. Had the chicken Parmesan half hoagie last night with fries. I get a side of their hot sauce to dip my fries in. It is very spicy and most people probably can’t handle it but it is one of my favorite sauces and I always get it for tenders or fries.

Bri is the best bartender, Gwyn is a close 2nd and the owners are so friendly. Love it!“

“We had a great experience at City Kitchen this weekend! We went to the Stranger Things pop up and then stayed for dinner! The food was exceptional and the service was great! I liked being able to order myself using a QR code and I loved the variety of options in one location. I would say the only con to this is that you don’t have a set server taking care of you, so I was unsure if we could have refills of our pop and they were not offered either. We will definitely be back though, and I’m looking forward to it!“

“Ordered catering for my son’s first birthday party. The ordering was easy and efficient, the staff was super nice and helpful, and the food was amazing. Everyone at the party raved about the food. Highly highly recommend their catering!!!“

“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!“

“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.!!!“

“Inndigo Blue is a nice restaurant. The menu is somewhat limited, but the food was excellent. I had a cup of French onion soup and a chef's salad, both of which were quite good. My server (Kimberly) was helpful and very pleasant. She was appropriately attentive to my needs without being in any way intrusive. I live about 4 hours away and was here on business staying at the Comfort Inn (attached). I don't know when/if business will take me to this same address again, but for a simple, tasty dinner, Inndigo Blue is a winner. Thanks!!“

“Was in a real predicament when caterer for daughters wedding did not show up, these folks did not hesitate when I called to provide me as much as they could quickly. The chicken was delicious, the guests said they were glad the other place did not show up😁they truly helped me salvage the night. Class act and awesome food.“

“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.“

“Best burger and service I’ve had in a long time. Thank you“

“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!“

“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 ;)“

“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.“

“Not from the area, and my husband and I stopped in for one beer. Four hours later we left after having good service, cold beer, good conversations and the best nachos I’ve had.“

“Very nice resteraunt to get a snack and drinks. The prices were reasonable and there are plenty of seats to eat or take with you. The food was hot and fresh. No problems with the food, the service was good. There were several schools there, so kinda hectic, but other than that, it was very good, and it's right when you enter the zoo.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for kids to sit and run around.“
