Restaurants near Blawnox

“Hands down the best Thai food I've ever had. the steamed pork dumplings are addictive sometimes I'll just get 3 orders of those. Their Pad kee Mao is my favorite dish, the flat rice noodles hold the flavor amazingly and this is also the first Thai place I've ever encountered that a 10/10 spice is too much for me. 6-7 is so rich with spice without the overwhelming heat. I haven't had a single bad thing from here and have been going the for years now. best Thai food in Pittsburgh”

“We’re in the neighborhood every few years and come here semi-regularly. Just ordered the vegetarian plate and was really delighted by the different vegetables. Cooked thoughtfully, great flavor. The kebab are also quite good.”

“Best brewery in Pittsburgh. Period. Great atmosphere and staff.”

“Great little local pub that also serves as a soccer affiliated bar. They have a great beer selection and it's always fun to be there when any soccer game is on even if it is not your team.”

“This is great food in general, but even better if you’re on a diet. All the calories are listed, everything that I’ve gotten here has been delicious, and all the workers are super nice.”

“BEST Jersey Mike's in the burg. I travel from North Hills to the Blawnox/ O'hara store. Well worth the trip! Great staff please acknowledge them for their efforts! T.Y.”

“Lunch rush mishap.
There was a decent amount of patrons when I entered. The crew was noticably busy with online orders and a large line at the counter.
They took my order and asked my name. Guy said someone with same name was ahead of me, so he added "v2" to the end of my name on the ticket.
Well.... I waited.... and waited until I realized people who ordered after me, got their food before me.
Told them I'm still waiting.... They must have given the order away to someone else or couldn't read the ticket properly.

But they corrected the issue in a timely manner.”

“We have dined here multiple times and each time it somehow gets better. Service is exceptional, food is incredible and the vibe and atmosphere is one-of-a-kind in Pittsburgh. Just wish it wasn’t so hard to get a reservation each time 😂”

“A group of 5 of us visited Dish last night and the meals were amazing. Grilled Squid, the best I have ever had. Where else can you find it not breaded and fried? Add to that their amazing sardines so fresh and good. Pasta Funghi another high. Exquisite detail to taste in every dish. The owners go way out of their way to make you feel welcomed and happy and very satisfied. A must visit when you are lucky enough to get a reservation though other friends have happily sat at the bar for dinner just to be there!! Kudos to Dish!”

“Had high expectations for this place but the food just wasn’t that great :/ I ate solo and even tried to fit in 3 dishes but neither of them really hit. Pierogi were nicely crisped on the outside but the romesco-like sauce on the bottom made the dish more on the acidic side, especially since there was already pickled relish on top, and I found myself wishing for more fat or sweetness. I actually used ricotta that came with bread and it tasted much better with it. Lobster roll filling was excellent but I wished they’d actually toasted the bread on the inside and not on the outside. Eating soft white bread of which there was a lot just didn’t feel great. Finally, the skate had good flavor and shishitos were a cute touch but the fish was severely undersalted (it’s a thick fillet) and the sauce on the bottom was, again, mostly acidic and didn’t help much.

Super romantic vibe inside and excellent service. Drinks were good, not great (I enjoyed their version of penicillin but the funghi one had no funghi flavor).”

“Chris has bad attitude worst pie maker i have pics he says this is a perfect pizza delivered to wrong address also at first smh”

“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.”

“Great service, and the food was really good!”

“The best pizza in Pittsburgh!! Fast and fresh!! The store is cute and clean.”

“Great food. Friendly efficient staff. Highly recommend.”

“This is a special place. Liege waffles are very different than anything I've ever had. They are made from a yeast dough, with caramelized brown sugar inside, smallish, and served warm in a napkin so that you can take it with you while window shopping. Please note: these are not meant to be served with ice cream on top. The ice cream and waffles are both very good by themselves. The owner only serves them together because people ask for that, but I think they ask for it because they think that's how it's meant to be served. (At least, that's what we thought!)”

“This restaurant is the best thing that’s happened to Swissvale. It’s fantastic, accommodating, and has the absolute best and nicest owner you could ever meet!!! Everyone who walks in here becomes family!!!”

“Delicious food! Huge portions! Will be back!”

“Tapas are amazing and atmosphere is fun! Come check it out.”

“I ate at Arepittas in September 2022 when I visited Pittsburgh. I enjoyed everything I ate. I hope to visit Pittsburgh (and this restaurant) again. The food and service were excellent.”

“Occasionally order either their pizza or hoagies, to which I'm never disappointed. Usually orders online and have had no issues. Love the ultimate Italian hoagie”

“Delicious food, excellent service, owner is welcoming and very involved. Have loved every dish I’ve tried but the falafel and lentil soup are my favorites”

“we ordered the brisket and pulled pork for a birthday party on the 13th. I can't express how well it was received. People especially raved about the brisket and we bought a whole pan and had nothing left. the pulled pork was just as delicious. there BBQ sauces are also excellent. This is the second time we used their catering service and I'm sure we'll be doing it again.”

“Went here because my daughter had been seeing a bunch of ads for it on social media and I had never heard of it so we figured let's go try.

In terms of ordering experience it's pretty straight forward as you place your order on one of two computers they have and then step aside and wait for your name to be called.

In regards to the space itself it was bright and pleasing to look at and clean.

Let's talk about the cookies, now taste is of course subjective but I found the cookies to taste good, not the best I have ever had but pretty good.

Now the following is going to again be subjective but to me the cookies are too under done, my kids liked that raw cookie dough feeling and texture but I would have liked them to have been a bit more firm. I had thought it was because they were fresh that they were so soft but even after a few hours at home to cool the cookies where still very much undercooked and infact my one definitely had some raw dough in the middle. My wife and kids through loved this fact so again this might be amazing if you like a cookie like that or it might be a turn off if you like a done and crumbly cookie.

Your paying for the hype and agressive marketing this company does, a dozen was nearly $50 dollars and they are not worth that to me, again subjective, but I have had better cookies at a local famous bakery in Oakmont for significantly less and with equal/better quality.

Honestly this place reminds me of when Krispy Cream came to town and the experience of getting a hot and fresh donut was new and exciting but after a while you came to realize that while it was a good donut it was not anything special and this place feels the same but with cookies.”

“My wife's grandparents are from the hill country of Lebanon, and her "Sittee" made phenomenal food. I haven't had anything even close to her cooking until I went to Babylon. Friendly, courteous owner and staff, great service, and food that is out of this world. What more could you want?”

“Me and my girlfriend went to Baby Tacos today for the first time we got there a few minutes before they opened. Who I’m assuming the owner was very friendly and still waited on us. The food was done in minutes and when I went to check out he told me to put my money away the first one is on the house. There aren’t to many businesses like this one in this day and age. Food was great will definitely be a return customer”

“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.”

“The people and food is awesome. Will keep coming back to them to get my coffee fix.”

“Such a great atmosphere! We loved coming here for the food and the drinks! Phy was our bartender and she was great! We will definitely be back”

“I live in Monroeville and somehow only recently became aware of Big Rig’s BBQ. Someone from the North Hills told me about it when I mentioned that I was from Monroeville. He said to me, “Oh, Monroeville! That’s where they have that REALLY good BBQ place. It is SO good and it makes you think, ‘Now this is some honestly authentic BBQ!’”. I finally went with a friend last night. Oh. My. Goodness. Perfection. My mouth is watering as I type!!”
