I came all the way from Montreal to visit Pittsburgh and had Potatoe Bar recommended to me.
The poutine was really good, super close to what I’m used to back home!
Also, the owner was super friendly and made the whole experience even better.

As Québécois visiting Pittsburgh, we were so excited (and a little skeptical!) to try the poutine at Potato Bar and wow, did it deliver! The fries were perfectly crispy, the gravy rich and flavorful, and the cheese curds had that ideal squeak. It tasted just like home, maybe even better! The staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. You can tell they put care into every dish. Highly recommend to anyone craving comfort food done right, especially fellow Canadians missing a good poutine! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town. 🍟🇨🇦❤️

I KNOW I will always get the best potato and flavor! I can’t get away from the pot roast because it’s amazing and makes me feel like my soul and everything is right with the world! Please be patient though cause sometimes it takes a bit of time, but I promise it’s worth the wait!

Tucked unassumingly past the gates of fashion mediocrity between a China Mi and coming to you soon Shake Shack lies The Potato Bar. A temple of starch where culinary subtlety is gleefully cast aside in favor of molten cheese and glorious excess.
I began with the Cheesy Steak Potato, a dish that bravely rejects balance in favor of indulgence. The potato itself? A soft, buttery vessel. Perhaps grown in soil blessed by ancient snack gods. Cradling tender steak and a lava flow of unapologetic cheese and mushrooms. It did not whisper to my palate. It shouted, joyously and with carbs.
But the Tornado Fry… ah, the Tornado Fry. A spiraled helix of deep fried defiance, crisped to a golden hue rarely seen outside of Renaissance paintings. It is a fry that demands attention, admiration, and possibly a nap.
In conclusion: The Potato Bar is not a dining experience. It is a reckoning. A beautiful, cheesy, slightly greasy reckoning. Five stars. Would eat again while pretending “I don’t normally eat like this.”
Would have posted the before photo, but I couldn’t wait that long.

I tried Potato Bar today and honestly didn’t enjoy it at all. Had their burger fries — the fries weren’t crispy, and the burger patty was too dry and tough to chew. On top of that, it lacked even basic seasoning like salt and pepper. The only thing I actually liked was their house-made sauce. Overall, their food just isn’t for me.
My mother and I drove 2 hours from Altoona to Pittsburg to try their potato, they did not disappoint. Everything was hot and not good overly salted. Definitely recommend. The staff was friendly and upbeat.

Manger was so rude not only to me but to staff. I over heard the staff/my friend being called “stupid” as well as other derogatory things. It is a very hostile environment and management does nothing to stop it. It’s sick that these people have to take that from management and corporate will be hearing from me.
