New American Restaurants near Pleasant Hills, PA

“One of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat. The food is always great. I recommend their chicken rancher hoagie and their Baton Rouge shrimp pasta. The drink specials are always great too if you're not looking to eat. Even their kid menu is great, my kids love eating here.Kid-friendliness: They have a dining room separate from the bar and a great kids menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to get in.“

“This is a local haunts for us TJ folks & we decided to bring our old high-school friends....as always Bri is an amazing server & the rest of the staff are friendly & right on top of making sure we always have drinks! The remodel is definitely a big improvement & I can't wait to bring them back when the patio is open!“

“My work honored me recently with a retirement party, along with our Pittsburgh staff, at the Altius restaurant. My family has enjoyed dinner there before, and as always, everyone was quite impressed with the atmosphere, attentive staff, and fantastic food. Altius is a top-tier restaurant in Pittsburgh, and you will not be disappointed.“

“Been wanting to try the breakfast sandwiches since they opened and since moving to this side of town, thought today was a perfect excuse. I've seen people rave about this place and now i know why. Seeing as though we got there around 8 am, I'd recommend getting there early because I've been told it can be line out the door later on, but that's how you know it's good. I got the classic with bacon and my boyfriend got the breakfast smash. We also opted to split the Creme Brulee griddled French toast with lemon curd. Paired with an Arabica pour over coffee for him and Oblong tea for me, it was the perfect Easter breakfast. The sandwiches were cooked perfectly. That French toast though, wow! The perfect amount of sweetness and with the mild lemon curd, just chef's kiss. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Can't wait to come back.“

“There's a lot of things to love about fig & ash; it's got a fun atmosphere, great service, and good food. The attentiveness of the staff was particularly a highlight -- different dishes and utensils for each part of the meal showed an attentiveness to the experience. The food is inventive on simple themes, which we loved (but also felt like it didn't hit on some things).Overall, it was a great experience, but I think for what it was, the price is just a little too high (and thus the 4 stars instead of 5). Specifically, some of the food pairings were a little off, and the environment is a bit cluttered. Nothing bad for a slightly less expensive restaurant, but at this price point it's a 4/5 for me.“

“We went in for a late evening bite and really enjoyed the experience. Our server Brian was super friendly and efficient. He made sure to check back with us to see how we liked everything in spite of being rather busy with a large group in a private room. We had the Spicy Shrimp and Buffalo Chicken Dip apps, both were very good. Will definitely return when we are back in the Burgh.“

“I was so excited to finally make it out to Eleven ❤️Eleven is a five star restaurant all the way. Loved being greeted by the fireplace as you entered. On a rainy day it was very comforting. We were seated upstairs overlooking the bar and though I don't have any photos, you need to go see it for yourself.JR, he's the one with the fabulous hair, took wonderful care of us.We ordered the salmon and scallops and beet salad. They were very tasty and filling. We did split the candy bar dessert.I was very excited that I got to try a glass of Pappy Van Winkle 20-year-old bourbon. It was fabulous. Thank you JR for suggesting it.I've decided I'm going to become a regular here. ❤️❤️❤️?“

“I recently dined at The Melting Pot and was thoroughly impressed by their Vegan fondue offering. The experience was exceptional from start to finish. The staff provided outstanding service, showing great knowledge and attentiveness towards our dietary preferences. They guided us through the menu, ensuring we enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal while adhering to our vegan lifestyle. The Vegan fondue itself was beyond amazing, boasting a rich and flavorful taste that exceeded our expectations. With such a positive experience, it's safe to say we'll be returning to The Melting Pot for more culinary delights in the future.“

“What started out as a date night spot has turned into a staple for us, and for good reason. The attention to every single detail doesn’t go unnoticed. The food is top notch, every time. The bar, cocktails and wine are thoughtfully (and perfectly) executed. The service and atmosphere are both inviting, professional, light, and fun. Seriously, the best. 10/10 all around :)“

“My husband and I had a great time experiencing The Puttery for the first time. We had the unlimited package and played five rounds of golf. This includes three 9 hole courses that you can play as many times as you choose. We also took advantage of the food and drinks. Drinks are allowed on the course and each hole has a stand for you to rest your drinks while you putt. For dinner I had the appetizer, potato flautas, and my husband had the BBQ bacon burger. Each were delightful. The decor on the courses and throughout the building was so much fun. I really enjoyed the different seating selections for dining as well. Linda was the host for the Garage course the day we were there. She was super sweet and seemed to love her job so much! We would recommend this place to many and would definitely come again if we are in Pittsburgh .“

“I recently dined at Sultry F&B and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, especially Madi & Morgan, making excellent recommendations. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in both the food and the service truly elevated the dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. Sultry F&B is definitely a gem in the Pittsburgh dining scene!“

“5 stars all the way. I'm vegetarian and my server recommended the mushroom taco. OMG. It was crispy oyster mushrooms with the precise amount of heat. I also go the baha fish taco and subbed potato for the fish. The potato was so crispy I thought they messed up my order and gave me fish. It was awesome, I can't wait to enjoy it again! I can't remember my servers name, but she was great too!“

“I moved away from Pittsburgh a couple years ago and I always regretted not trying Scratch & Co. I finally got a little reunion group together for brunch when I came back in town for a wedding, and I was blown away. The decor is charming, artful, and full of thoughtful antique restoration mixed with modern touches. The food was absolutely fantastic, I had the smash burger and also tried the bagel with schmear and shakshuka. So rare to find really good bagels in Pittsburgh and Scratch & Co. has them! I had an old fashioned donut as well which was also awesome. And the service was perfection as well. We had a great time, I can't wait to come back, I only wish I had made it more often before I left.“

“I've lived 5 minutes away for years and never knew what I was missing!I tried Coughlins Law for the first time with my husband and kids a few weeks ago and have already been back two more times (will absolutely be going again and again because we NEED to try everything and the menu is always changing!)So far we've tried the Crab Rangoon Nachos (massive, addictive, and the perfect salty sweet app!), the Fried Burrata (looked delicious but can't confirm because my kids polished it off instantly) the Coughlin Law Burger (loved the theatrics with the smokey dome and genuinely could taste it, too! It was like a super upgraded outdoor BBQ burger) and about 10 more dishes.The service the first time was quick and helpful, but the most recent was above and beyond. The waiter we had was so friendly and funny it genuinely felt like he was talking to old friends the whole time and it made the whole meal that much better.All that to say, I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been here yet. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu!*Pro-tip: order as much as you can because they make for killer leftovers too“

“We had a wonderful evening with family and friends. PA market is an excellent place to get together and enjoy many different flavorful dishes and drinks. The service is always outstanding. We had the arroz con pollo (rice with chicken) and it was delicious. Pizza is always well liked as well as the burgers. Highly recommend.“

“I recently tried this place for the first time via grubhub. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The delivery was timely, and the food was delicious. The portion size was perfect, and everything tasted so good. I also appreciated the message on the box “thank you for supporting our dream.” I will be back again, but in person. I’d also recommend to anyone!“

“I'd definitely recommend this place if you're in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. The service was fantastic, but the food wasn't a full A+. The duck I got was incredibly tender, the demi was unctuous as all hell, and the leek puree really brought everything together, but the skin lacked any sense of crisp to it and my wife's pork chop was incredibly under seasoned.“

“We (couple) had a great dinner at Bridges & Bourbon. The service and atmosphere were great. We booked a day-of reservation and could only get in for dinner at 8:45pm but we didn't mind terribly. It was the St Patrick's Day parade that day so perhaps was busier than normal. We started with the shrimp and salad, both were good but not amazing. I had the smash burger and my partner had the streak - the mains were great. We ended with the tiramisu cheesecake, not what I was expecting (it was in a small ramekin) and more of a mousse than a cheesecake, but it was a nice light sweet to end our meal. I don't drink but the cocktails they were making looked very cool. On the pricier side but for a special night out I think it's justifiable!“

“Food was delicious! No complains! Everything was cooked well done. Service was very awesome well polite. Highly recommend you try it! Fast service called in order and everything ordered was well completed. Can’t say enough about it! Well worth the money I spent for lunch! No Complaints! 5 Star Ratings!!“

“I am so happy this place exists! These are the best cocktails I have had since we moved to the area from the San Francisco Bay Area. So impressed by the staff, everyone is so friendly and every drink has been fantastic. We will definitely be back!“

“Dined for lunch with a group of 14 ladies. Nikki was our server and was wonderful. . .fast, pleasant, just all around good. I like Spots and I like Frangelico; so, I tried the Frangelico Spots. Not saying they were bad, just not my cup of tea. Everyone was very pleased with the experience.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!!!! I came here with a large party of 10 and EVERYONE’s food was to die for. Some people got something sweet, some did savory….and they were all fantastic. LOVED that they had multiple Benedict’s to choose from. Service was also fantastic! 100000/10 would recommend.“

“The summit has been one of my favorite places since the day it opened. They have hands down the BEST Mac and cheese I've ever had. (I literally call and ask if they have it, believe me, if you know, you know!) they have the most creative cocktails and an amazing staff. I love the chill vibe with candles and dim lights. I newly found an extreme love for their smash burger as well. I'll be back, often!“

“I ordered two Chicken Romano dinners and a grilled chicken salad for take out. The Chicken Romano was delicious. It was also very juicy and tender. The grilled chicken salad was very tasty and it was huge. The staff was very friendly to me when I picked up my order. I highly recommended Emil’s and will definitely be back.“

“Leilani is the best server ever!!! She's so nice and she took care of us nicely. She made my friends and I laugh so much!!! GIVE HER A RAISE. Anyways the food was good and the atmosphere was amazing!!Dietary restrictions: There's a gluten-free menu!!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu!!“

“First time in Pittsburgh and found this restaurant just a short walk from my hotel. Walking by I did not think much, but it was such a pleasant surprise. The inside is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and courteous, and the food is phenomenal. I highly recommend the yellowfin tuna tower. I will come back here everytime I am in Pittsburgh!“

“This is a nice restaurant. The food was good and the service was well-done. With my food allergies, the menu was a bit limited. I can't eat garlic so I had only a few options. The prices are a bit on the high side. My salad meal with one drink and one appetizer was $48 for one person. The restaurant would improve if the lighting was brighter. It was quite dark in the restaurant.“

“Visited for dinner, was hoping to be seated downstairs but ended up in the upstairs dining room. It’s a different vibe up there as you can’t really hear the music. Overall though, the decor and aesthetic is beautiful. We ordered the focaccia, which was delicious but wasn’t served warm. The charred eggplant was the standout. We then shared the chicken Parmesan and the tagliatelle with bolognese. Chicken parm was good and an enormous portion. Bolognese was mediocre and had no depth of flavor, disappointing. We shared a panna cotta for dessert which was lovely. Cocktails were also tasty. Our server, Sarah, was wonderful and served us complimentary bubbles for my birthday. All in all, it was a nice experience but in my opinion a little overpriced and not my first choice for pasta.“

“This was our first time visiting Blue Sky, but we don't plan for it to be our last! Between us, we had the k-town ribs appetizer, the soup of the day, which was beef chili with cheddar, and chimichurri steak tacos. The fresh, innovative food was very good and served promptly. The service was outstanding. Our server was friendly, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely interested in seeing that our needs were met. We also had the unexpected pleasure of hearing a soloist named Katie Simone perform while we are. Great voice and pleasant commentary. All in all, it was a great date.“

“My partner and I came here for our late Valentine's dinner and were very impressed. The menu had a great selection of entrees, and I was super pleased with my meatloaf. We got the deconstructed smores for dessert which was the perfect end to our celebration dinner. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all our questions regarding drinks. We will be back!“

“I’m traveling from Oregon and stopped by for drinks and food. This is an amazing establish. Reviews don’t do justice. Highly highly recommend stopping by for a quick sip and bite. Everyone was really kind to me. As a solo traveler I wasn’t sure what I would get into. I got a simple shrimp in the basket and it was SO GOOD. Omg. I can go on and on about Squirrel Hill Cafe. From Oregon to Pittsburgh, put this one on your list to check out“

“This place IS worth a visit, Of course, the mussels, I like traditional white wine and butter. Get the large, trust me:O) But I have had many of the things on their menu, and never disappointed. Flatbreads, Burgers ..etc. I am confident that you will not visit there and be unhappy with your order.“

“Wonderful spot for just about any occasion - amazing brunch and even better dinner! The service is outstanding and the food has always been top-notch - thrilled to see such a great place on East Carson Street that brings a lot of class and great food to the South Side Flats.“

“A fusion Korean restaurant I found in Pittsburgh on my first trip!!The soju punch cocktail and kimchi nacho were delicious~I also had curry katsu, but the curry was a bit sweet.Even on nights when it's pouring with rain, the place is full and the waiting lines are long. Waiting for something delicious is just an extension of happiness^^“

“Outstanding pizza! As a lifelong NEW YORKER… I love pizza! Shelly Pie Pizza was absolutely outstanding. The best I’ve found in the area as of yet! Service and speedy service coupled with and amazing amount of topping loaded with delicious cheese to satisfy my true pizza craving experience. Thank you for the outstanding food! I WILL BE BACK REPEATEDLY!“

“We celebrated my Dad’s 70th birthday with family and friends at Coach’s. The food was fantastic and the service was great! The owner was on-site, making sure our large party was taken care of. Our waitress, Nicole, was quick and kept our drinks coming. It was a really great night we will remember forever.“

“I ordered the crab cake meal and I must say, they were better than the crab cakes I've ordered in Maryland. They were filled with lump crab meat and barely any filler. Delicious. My friend got Red wine braised short rib and also was impressed. Our server Matt was phenomenal. He explained the menu, was friendly and just great service all the way around. The restaurant is located inside the Sheraton Hotel in Station Square and was classy, clean, and inviting. I'll definitely return!“

“City Kitchen was a self-driven experience that gave off upscale vibes. We walked in and my 9-year-old was delighted that he was empowered with so many options. After choosing a large comfy booth, he proceeded to use my phone to order from the vast menu.As I was putting my order in the staff brought over cutlery, glasses, and water. You pay as you enter your order on your phone, so there are no wasted trees (physical receipts). The food is then delivered promptly to your table.It felt like the Jetsons came and took over 2024 and packed flavor along with it. We enjoyed the food and our experience, we will be back!“

“We tried this restaurant for breakfast and the food was very good. Prices were reasonable, better than most restaurants we have tried for breakfast. Coffee was served immediately after being seated and refilled constantly. It was a clean and neat restaurant, all the staff was very friendly. Will return again and again.“

“We stayed at the Industrialist Hotel for a weekend getaway and booked a reservation for the Rebel Room (street level restaurant/bar in the hotel) for dinner on Saturday. They have a very nice selection of whiskeys and bourbons along with cocktails. The food selection isn't huge, but there is variety. We started with a charcuterie board and salads. Then split a burger. Everything was very very good. Its not very big, so be sure to have a reservation just in case. The atmosphere is really cozy and the service was great. Will definitely be back.“

“My wife and I live nearby, and we come once a week minimum. First off, the staff is fantastic. Hosts, wait staff, bartenders, and managers are always friendly and attentive. The food is always spot on, consistent in taste and value. There are standards, but also a rotating menu for specials and cocktails. Live entertainment twice a week is always fun and varied. We will always be back, thank you!“

“Super super friendly staff very fast with drinks and our food came out pretty quickly as wellAlot of food I got 12 wings big wings and decent amount of frys and it was karottate no I didnt sing but great place to get something to eat and or drinkParking: Big parking lot“

“Leo is a hidden gem on the north side with a well-curated draft list, great bar snacks (oh, my! those pickled quail eggs), a massive collection of vinyl, and infused liquors you can have made into just about any cocktail (or better yet, let the tender decide). What more could you possibly need?“

“A very nice selection of draght beers. Only had time for a quick couple of brews while waiting on the family. They had video trivia that would link to your phone. I will be spending more there when I get a chance. It is a great little spot that out of town visitors would enjoys. Being across the street from Grandpa Joe's Candy Store is a big plus. Prost.“

“Big fan of this dive bar! Perfect place if you need quick food and a drink, and can sit at the bar. Also great to go with a group after a long bike ride on the trails! All the wraps are 10/10. Pump track wrap and rail trail are my favorite. I've had the best burgers ever here but they are not consistent. I think it depends on who is cooking because sometimes the are cooked to perfection, and other times they are dry and over done. But the toppings are always unique and good. Service is what you would expect from a dive bar, always friendly and attentive but let you be with your food and beer. Cool place.“

“Don't judge the book by its cover. This restaurant looks odd from outside, but as you enter, it's very welcoming. The ambiance and food are really nice. I definitely recommend it.Kid-friendliness: Shrimp steamed dumplings were good for kids , and customized chicken/ shrimp lomein can be ordered with less spice and oil.“

“Big fan! My friends and I came here for dinner and everything was great. This was my first time, but my friends said they come often and love the food. Nice atmosphere and great service! My friend and I got the autumn flatbread to split and the sweet potato fries. I LOVED the flatbread. It was a pretty decent size and tasted so fresh and flavorful! Sweet potato fries were also great.“

“I had a lovely sausage gravy and biscuit for breakfast...it would have been perfect if I would've had utensils to use and a napkin for my mouth. Please ask customers if they need utensils because I am of the persuasion that gives them out without thinking about it.“

“Great modern, healthy, restaurant. I loved all the gluten free options and enjoyed the Greek warm bowl with salmon. I also had the kale and apple smoothie, it tasted like it sounds. There wasn’t a lot of sugar or additives to hide the flavor. I still enjoyed the smoothie but it’s not for everyone, it definitely grossed out my husband and toddlers. This may cost a bit more than some similar restaurants but I think it’s worth it for good quality, well made, Whole Foods- which they did an excellent job of providing.Dietary restrictions: They specify on the menu what is gluten free and have lots of good options.Kid-friendliness: I took my toddlers, they were comfortable there. Lots of room for the wagon. Men’s bathroom didn’t have a changing table.“

“Definitely the best Jamaican food I've ever had, I only wish I had gone to this place sooner. We tried the j*** chicken mac and cheese in addition to the brown stew chicken with rice, and they were both super flavorful and well portioned. I highly recommend trying this place for yourself.“
