34 Best Seafood Restaurants near Penn Hills

“First off I’ve been coming here for years and the food is always great especially today! I ordered Mongolian Beef with Chicken fried rice and let me tell you this is the best I’ve had and I am just blown away by the taste! Best Chinese around in Pennhills that’s why it’s the NO.1 🔥🔥🔥

Also they are always kind when you walk in!“

“My favorite place!! The seasoning is the best part, I always ask for extra in addition to buying a side of it so I can cover everything in it 🤣 I’ve tried quite a few of their seafood options- shrimp, cod, perch, catfish filet & nuggets- and have never been disappointed by any of them. The pick 2 combo with shrimp and catfish nuggets is my go-to though, best catfish I’ve ever had. The fries are always hot and crispy even when I get them delivered through doordash, and the hush puppies are great too. And you gotta have the funnel cake sticks for dessert! I love Hook 💕🐟🍤“

“I arrived not long after they opened and I received the BEST meal I have ever had at a LJS. I've been a loyal customer for decades and since it is harder to find locations I go out of my way when I travel to get my fix.
The employee who packed my order was super kind and as I said the food was delicious.
My only issue is the condition of the store. And honestly this complaint goes for a number of locations left in the area. The store is in BAD shape. I've worked in food service for over 35 years and if the dining room that patrons see is in such a state of disarray then I can't even imagine what the kitchen and BOH areas look like. It would take a full day of deep cleaning, scrubbing and detailing to get the dining room to a somewhat acceptable level. The Butler location is bad too but not nearly as bad as this location but I will say the food at Butler left much to be desired the last time I was there.
I'm not in the Pittsburgh area much these days but if I do return I'll stick with the drive thru right at open in the hopes that I'm not reminded of the condition of the restaurant.“

“🌟 A Sushi Delight in Downtown Pittsburgh! 🌟 If you’re a sushi lover, you absolutely must try the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grille. This incredible roll is a symphony of textures and flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Imagine biting into a perfectly crispy USDA soft shell crab, complemented by the fresh crunch of asparagus and cucumber, the creamy richness of avocado, and the delightful pop of masago. This roll is huge and too big for our chopstick skills, so we used our fingers! Each piece is generously topped with a luscious combination of eel sauce, spicy sauce, and a sprinkle of scallions, adding a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes. For just $19, you get 10 pieces of this culinary masterpiece, making it not only a delicious treat but also a fantastic value. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or just looking to try something new, the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s is a must-try experience in the heart of Pittsburgh. 🍣✨“

“I am so sorry that I ate my food before I could take a pic of it 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 All I can say is that this place surprised the heck out of me! I really didn't expect the food to be THIS good! I came into town from Cleveland, Ohio, and my cousin recommended this place to me (we went together). I told them I was going to write a review on how deli the food is, and how won the service was as well. Kudos to you guys. You really know how to cook. I recommended the fish and wings. It's near Kennywood, so if you plan on spending some time at the park, please give Al's a try. It's really not designed for dining in, hence the three stars for atmosphere. 😉“

“Tugboats is everything you want in a neighborhood spot: friendly people, a welcoming vibe, and amazing food. Jimmy's pizza is hands down the best I've had in Pittsburgh so far and I'm from Philly and have eaten pizza all over, including New York. But you have to get down there early because they sell out of pizza often.
Momma Jackie and the staff treat everyone like family, and they absolutely adore my dog Freya with water, treats, and plenty of love. The deck is the perfect place to sit back with a slice, a drink, and your pup.“

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

“My dad had this bomb food catered for a family event and this place just secured a bunch of new customers. For the 30+ ppl, each tray tasted homemade - like your family was serving the family classics. We had the most tender n juicy ribs (Carolina gold - 🔥), wings 🔥, mac 🔥, greens🔥, cornbread🤤.... and here's the best part - it wasn't heavy at all. You know it's good when them to-go plates were packed and there was nothing left! That's what I'm talkin bout. Will definitely be back soon!“

“It was good and the service was great“

“This place is amazing the food is always fresh never over or undercooked always welcoming and accommodating chicken is absolutely delicious the fish is always amazing and you always get your money worth !!!! Definitely recommend“

“What a wonderful experience eating here! As a person with a strict gluten free diet, I loved being able to find a restaurant that not only offered gluten free items but items that could be made gluten free! Everything I have tried has been amazingly prepared, the staff is excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed and beautiful. I'll definitely be making this a favorite dinner place!“

“This is one of my absolute favorite places in Pittsburgh during the warmer months. I feel like I’m on vacation. The food is delicious. My favorite part is the outdoor seating near the water. I wish Pittsburgh had more places to hang out and have a meal by the water.“

“Headed strait down to Mr. D's Chicken and More ! Good food, prices, and service..“

“Buena comida 🥘 súper delicioso Recomiendo mucho mucho, que venga a probar nuestro platillo especial 🍝🍚🧋“

“I absolutely love seafood boil, and this place was so delicious. We got the ramen with crab legs and a boil with 1lb crab and 1/2lb headless shrimp. I split this with my sister and there was still so much left! The server was so nice as well. I live 2 hrs from here and would easily make the drive for this.“

“best fish sandwiches around. homemade hot sauce is a MUST! Absolutely love the haluski, macaroni and cheese, and potato pancakes. You get so much food for a great price. Staff are always very friendly and caring, Keith is a great guy as well. must try his food! I recommend the fish to everyone!“

“Amazing food. Some of the best eats you’ll find in PGH in regards to asian cuisine. The steak over rice is my personal favorite. Keep in mind theyre CASH ONLY (ATM ONSITE) and theyre a little bit on the expensive end of things as are most local ethnic restaurants, although its prolly a bit more affordable vs what else you might have seen. Seriously though, this is definitely a GREAT place to check out if you’re down. A huge upside is they’re open PAST MIDNIGHT, might be the only place in all of PGH doing so thats worth checking out“

“Well, went to Storming Crab in homestead, pa. I was so disapointed. First I ordered a drink. Cranberry and top shelf vodka. Came with no vodka, plain cranberry. People at the bar said they didn't make that drink?? It took over 20 min for the girl to take our food order, which took another 20 min to get and when it came no ketchup or tartar sauce. So waited for condiments which never came, in the meantime we were done eating and another member of our party still hadn't received his seafood boil. Still no tartar sauce, shrimp very cold, now the seafood boil comes. Still no tartar sauce. So they cold shrimp was taken off the bill. I don't understand the time span, looks like they need more workers. Just too slow. I'm not going to give them another chance, first impression last impression plus corn was ordered and told Jazlyn was missing, never got it. With this service this place won't be here long.“

“The food here is TO DIE FOR!!! And the service is awesome“

“Don't sleep on the burgers and puppies. The seasoning on the puppies was divine... and the fries were sooo amazing! I wanted the chicken but couldn't have it the day I ate takeout, but it was so delicious and no frills good. Classic.“

“We recently held my parents 50th wedding anniversary party there and it was wonderful! Everyone I dealt with, from the event coordinator, kitchen staff, and wait staff, were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make our event a special one. I would definitely recommend Rene’s in the future.“

“My family stopped by on Saturday afternoon ordered a Pgh pizza and loaded fries. The Pizza was out of this world. The fries were fresh cut and delicious. Our server was Jodie and she was so friendly and efficient we never had to ask a refill on drinks. Most pleasant trip there ever.“

“My husband and I have been going to the Village Inn for many years now. Everything we have eaten there has been so delicious from sandwiches to great Italian Food . My favorite is the stuffed crabmeat mushroom appetizer, bruschetta and Chicken Romano. The meatballs and pasta are so good. My favorite dessert is the Tiramisu. I highly recommend the Verona Village Inn.“

“A HUGE shout out to Jenn for making my daughter's 13th Birthday a success! From preparation, to design to party, Jenn was very accommodating and professional. We couldn't of had a better time! I highly recommend Jenn for your next party needs and Ash Taphouse for your venue. Thank you again Jenn! It was an honor meeting you and your staff! Athena...🎃☠️“

“Fantastic service on a very busy night. Jennifer was fantastic met our every need. Food, shrimp scampi over pasta was beyond delicious.Glad Tarentum Station is in our neighborhood. BTW I am not a relative😀.“

“We LOVE Kanlaya. Small family run business. Food is amazing and reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Some of our family favorites: Crab Rangoon, Tom kha soup, Pad woon sen, pineapple fried rice, all the curry’s, and the fried banana dessert is so good. Take the 0-4 Spice level seriously. 😉 I get Spicy 1 and that is plenty spicy.“

“We eat Chinese food pretty frequently but this is some of the best fried rice we have ever had. The staff is very kind and helpful and the atmosphere is a mix of modern and traditional decor. Combined with the great service and excellent food this is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in Pittsburgh.“

“One of my favorite spots, great service and the oysters are always amazing!“

“The food was excellent, atmosphere was great and the service as usual was outstanding. Tracey is a top notch waitress.“

“I love that they’re open early & the food is absolutely amazing! I eat here a lot, never been dissatisfied - especially with the chicken and waffles which is coming to the menu soon. I even recommended them to friends and they absolutely loved it. Fantastic establishment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was our third time here and everything was amazing AGAIN! Best steaks around! We love coast and main.“

“The owner was extremely friendly and made me feel welcomed. I told him I was in town visiting and that Wilkinsburg is my hometown but I live in FL. He was so kind and asked about how we did during the recent hurricane that had just passed. We exchanged information because I told him he’d be a huge hit here in central Florida. You gotta try this place. I had to buy six of the seasoning cups because it’s delicious and I can’t find it here.“

“For many years I have gone to Patron’s with family and friends. But this review is specific to my latest experience with them. My husband was celebrating his 50th birthday and we decided to do catering through them. My expectations weren’t only met but exceeded substantially! Everything was delicious as usual—we ordered mixed fajitas, choripollo, rice and beans, chips and queso. I did a pickup order and everything was labeled and packaged well for quick set up. Lots of compliments from our guests too— thanks!“

“Great place to come and have a drink“
