50 Best American Restaurants near Carnegie

“Great food. Great value. Only ate breakfast but will be back.“

“Found this place, coming from out of town. The food was absolutely fantastic. And the atmosphere was really cool. Right out of a movie set. Just don't see much like this up in Canada. Thanks for feeding and hosting us!“

“Great place to watch the Steelers!“

“We’ve been going to Elly’s since we moved here a few years back and it’s a true testament to we need more women owned businesses. The food is killer. The staff is fantastic. The atmosphere has something for everyone. Their food is moderately priced for good portions, and they have amazing specials - $5 happy hour menu and $10 rotating entree special. They just added some new food to the menu with turkey handhelds, weekend breakfast, and Lenten specials on Fridays. I’m ready to come back and try it all. Support local - eat Elly’s.“

“We have been there twice in the last week and it was GREAT! Best steak hoagie on the planet. We also really liked Ashley our server.“

“The restaurant was too cold. It was uncomfortable. There was no where to sit in the entire restaurant that was warm other than the ladies room.“

“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!“

“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“

“Just a great experience all over. Great service and the food was delicious!“

“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!“

“Stopped in for a mid-afternoon bite. Excellent server Vanessa even got the drink recipe for us!“

“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.“

“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 🍻🥃💜“

“Stumbled upon Albero Verde, when looking for a fine dining restaurant for our Anniversary that wasn't $50-100/ plate and was more accessible than downtown Pittsburgh....Albero Verde, did NOT disappoint. The owner and Chef, Anthony Pupo, introduced himself while delivering a small, unique tasting of a wonton with a twist. This small but mighty restaurant provided top notch service, an intimate dining experience, good music, the option of BYOB, and the FOOD was too die for. The wonderful waitress suggested that we split the Wedge salad, and I appreciated the suggestion as 1 was plenty for 2 people...but when she brought it out, they had plated it on 2 seperate plates for us, taking away the hassle of dividing the dish ourselves at the table. We then had the Octopus and Beans and Greens appetizers.... both delicious. For our main course, we had the Fran and Fudge (named after the Chef's grandparents) a HEALTHY sized bone in porkchop with brie and goat cheese pierogi and the Scallop and Langoustine Spaghetti... both excellent! For dessert we had the Pomegranate Semifreddo, a refreshing frozen yogurt and a mini chocolate cannoli. We will absolutely be back! Thank you, Chef, for a lovely and tasty evening.“

“Hands down the best breakfast we have ever had. Seafood omelet and steel city breakfast delicious! Portions are large, had enough to bring some home. Husband had a banana split and said it it one of the best he’s eaten. Our waitress was so nice. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience! We will definitely return when in the area.“

“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.!!!“

“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 went for a late lunch. I love meatloaf and theirs was the best I've had in a long time!! My husband had the hot roast beef and loved it also. We don't live close 😕 or we would be there often.“

“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.“

“This was the best experience I have ever had at Eat n Park and I have been taking my grandma there every other week for a few years now. By chance we stopped at this particular eat n park and a side from the food being delicious the service I got was top notch. Kelli P was phenomenal and extremely professional. Highly recommend making a stop there and if you are lucky she will be your server. 5 out of 5 treatment.“

“What a special place to celebrate our anniversary! Not only was the food delicious and reasonably priced, we had wonderful service. We were surprised by a handmade anniversary card from the staff and a complimentary dessert. The Juniper Grill is definitely on our list to return to!“

“We decided on a Tuesday that we wanted to dine here the next day and were concerned that we didn't yet have a reservation. We were not able to make one online for 5 people. The next day, we were able to call in the early afternoon and speak to someone to make a reservation. We were so glad we did since the place became full not long after we arrived! Our hostess, servers, and all employees were wonderful, all 5 of our entrees were fabulous, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here!“

“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 .“

“Good food and service. Fairly priced.“

“family atmosphere. regular customers for over 20 plus years.“

“love this place! our first visit as growing bourbon connoisseurs, and our bartender dominic did not disappoint! great food, amazing bourbon, fantastic service, wonderful atmosphere.“

“This was our first time here and the breakfast/lunch bar was open. it was phenominal. great quality of food, tons of choices in buffet style containers to keep it hot. Everything from made to order omlettes, waffles, sausage, salad, pot roast, mashed potatoes, tender breakfast potatoes. my husband said it was the best omlette he has ever had. he had the Irish Omlette. Great staff. This was a huge win. very comfortable seating. The chef was also amazing“

“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!“

“It’s always crowded
I just moved back to BP
This is my 1st time at Al’s cafe
That’s a knife and fork burger
3rd time that has happened
And the bun was not toasted that needs fixed for all the burgers
And if i can make a suggestion
Add venison to the menu
It’s a log cabin style restaurant when you walk in
Pennsylvania has a deer problem so during hunting season add venison to the menu
The menu is off the charts there’s a lot to choose from
We have a lot of hunters in south western Pa so a game menu would be good
A rabbit rattlesnake appetizer would be great
Keep the REESE'S desert on the menu“

“Great food! Staff is awesome friendly, and attentive without being intrusive! Seasonal menu options are creative.“

“The smoked wings were amazing. Service was prompt and very polite. Definitely will be back to try more food. Lori was a great server and the cooks really did it up. Very affordable too. All around would give 5 stars for what this place is.. nothing short of great.“

“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 always enjoy an evening at Gil’s. Friendly waitstaff. Good food. The Mediterranean Chicken was great!!! And of course the hopper!“

“Great meal. But the best was our server, Alyssa. Confident, professional, personable, and so helpful and knowledgeable! Took the time to explain ingredients of particular items when we asked, and made personal recommendations when we asked. What a pleasure!“

“We stopped April 30th, 2022. The food was great and our waitress was very friendly even though they were extremely busy.“

“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“

“We visited Jackson's last week. We were introduced to our server, the hostess informed us she was new. Boy, was she fantastic! The food was an A+. We had soup of the day and Salmon, which was cooked perfectly. Our server was Bonnie Lynn and we will ask to be set in her section next time. She never quit smiling.“
