50 Best American Restaurants near Duquesne

“Fun loving atmosphere with great people and good drinks“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were at Thunderbird this past Sunday for a concert. We brought our 6 year old so she could see her favorite artist perform. While we were there, one of the security staff came over to us multiple times to make sure we were okay with our daughter, offered to take us to a different side of the venue that they made more room after the opener and other kids were there. My kiddo doesn’t like crowds, so we stayed in the back near the steps. Throughout the night, this gentleman came over to us several times just to check in. He also cleared the steps of people standing in front of us so our daughter could see better. I wish we got his name, but he was wonderful. None of us asked him to do that or asked for any special treatment, but the fact that he came over several times to just check in was incredibly nice and such a meaningful thing to do for us as a parent. There was also a girl security guard that had cigarette earrings that was very kind too. Great first experience overall.“

“Great service - Great food“

“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.“

“absolutely phenomenal food! the staff is amazing very nice and attentive! Victor took care of us and our expierence was definitely a 10/10 couldn't recommend more!“

“food fantastic . waitstaff lovely.“

“A tried and true neighborhood gem. Where else can you get veggie or turkey dogs custom topped Your Way? And being able to peruse the Beer Cave for just the right microbrew or rare import makes this an easy choice for an affordable dinner out, with friends, or solo at the bar where the bartenders take good care of you.“

“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.“

“Just wanted to extend our sincere thanks to Rus, Kim, and the entire staff for continuing to be a blessing to our family and the community. Thank you for helping to make a memorial dinner into a celebration of life. The food and hospitality you provided are second to none. We appreciate everything that you did to make things easier for us.“

“Whenever I visit Pittsburgh I always go to Cafe Raymond for breakfast. I love their blueberry ricotta pancakes, they are so delicious 😋. I always receive great service and the staff is very friendly. Stop in, you wont be disappointed!!!!“

“This place is such a gem! My fiance and I drive 35 minutes here for the food, best breaded zucchini in Pittsburgh hands down, best nachos, and the flatbreads are amazing. The staff are always so kind and the atmosphere is great for a date night or a family night! 10/10 recommend this one for sure.“

“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 🍻🥃💜“

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

“Excellent food, great service!“

“Our waitress bonnie d. Is the best we really enjoyed our visit.we will be going back soon“

“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.“

“Great experience and amazing food every time. Does not disappoint!!! Thankful for a place to eat with consistently good food and great service.“

“Jody B's has been a family favorite for years now. It's a reminder of what great restaurants were like years ago. I take my mother there as often as possible. 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.“

“Had a great sandwich today at Nova Cafe. Was my first but definitely will not be my last, and the friendly atmosphere made my lunch even better.“

“If you want better fresh cut fries than Kennywood, Bar 48 is it. Their wings and ranch are top notch; it’s the only place I order wings from. Their owner Katelyn does an amazing job of planning many fun events and her personality brings people together!“

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

“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!“

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

“We needed a place that had power during the wind storm to feed our kids and actually called asking if they had a kids menu they said yes and even told us what was on it over the phone. We ended up going the kids got chicken, fries and applesauce. Husband and I got salmon and swordfish both vary good, the bread was good,my salad was good husband said the house dressing was a little strong but still good. The waitresses were all great and super friendly. Even the customers were all friendly. The place is a little pricey though so be prepared but worth it for the price, the amount of food and the service. We'll be back!“

“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!!“

“Had a wonderful weekend at the John Butler B&B. Cozy house in a safe area. Quite and peaceful. All the staff we met at the restaurants were friendly. Everything was clean and as described. We definitely are adding this to our list of places to return to.“

“Great food positive energy nice portions I love it here“

“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!“

“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 ;)“

“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.“

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

“Great food, friendly workers nice atmosphere anytime“

“Excellent experience food and service!“

“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.“

“I ordered via Uber Eats. I had a question about the menu so I called the restaurant but they did not answer. I was surprised when they called me back ...when does that ever happen?! My order arrived exactly as I ordered it and they didn't miss any of the sides. They have a huge selection of desserts and I got the sweet potato pie, it tastes like my 95 yr old grandma from Tennessee made it! Get the homemade healthy green tea drink, you won't be disappointed! The portions are huge... but I'm most impressed with the more flavorable twist on traditional hibachi. ❤ keep it up. I found a new spot!!“

“best place 2 b had fun with u Brooooooo“

“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 ~“

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

“The flavor of the food is well season right with a unique great taste😋The egg rolls that they created is different with some flavor to choose from like seafood and steak that is out of this world when it come to the flavor also the sauce that came with it just added another level of awesome flavor that satisfy your taste bud. 😋They have a wide variety of delicious food that they have there. Great atmosphere nice people who prepared serve and deliver quality that put a huge smile on your face and enjoyable food that they prepare with love. I highly recommended 3 Good Brothers this establishment is worth going there to order some awesome variety of food.😋“

“My server Jenah was awesome very attentive, upbeat personality. Made sure we were satisfied throughout the whole experience would request her next time we visit.“

“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.“

“Atmosphere was good, as was the food. The pricing however is college pricing to say the least. Typically I'd take off a star for the pricing but because of the area, and the wonderfully innovative food options, I spare it.Speaking of food, they have stuffed pizza.I don't mean stuffed crust, I mean the pizza itself is literally stuffed.“
