14 Best Seafood Restaurants near Pleasant Hills

“Ordered their General Tso’s (white meat) and it was hands down the best General Tso’s I’ve ever had. I had their chicken and broccoli before, which was also sooo good, but this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be ordering here more in the future!“

“Words can’t explain how special our experience has been at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. We were warmly welcomed by Isabella and Bassi, two of the sweetest hostesses I have ever met. They showed us to our table which included one of the finest views of Pittsburgh. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 8th year anniversary and our server Sydney truly made it special for us. The food was exquisite and each dish brought out looked like pure art. The crab cake (suggested by Sydney) was off the charts, some of the best I’ve had. Chef Dee really out did himself as our food was spectacular. Definitely a great place to celebrate a special occasion and would recommend to all of my friends and family!“

“The ambiance and downtown location did not disappoint for our anniversary dinner! Succulent scallops, asparagus, brussel sprouts and filet were all cooked to perfection. Lobster bisque was delicious. Caesar salad had a strong lemon flavor and lobster tail also had a creamy rather than butter sauce, for those with specific expectations. Christian is an excellent waiter-server. Overall a very pleasant experience, although on the pricey side.“

“So, Red Lobster in Pleasant Hills was clean and had a menu with many options. I chose the shrimp skewers and added a scallop one. They were tasty. I added a side of Brussel sprouts. They were delicious. The biscuits were good. The baked potato was done well. All of the staff were friendly . It’s worth a return visit to try the Salmon Bowl or maybe the flounder.“

“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.“

“🌟 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 want to say the staff that worked 10/19/25 at 6pm were amazing. Mia you went above and beyond your job tonight and you were amazing. Thank you for what you did!“

“We’re visiting from Chicago and heard about Shay & BAEEE, so we decided to book them for last-minute catering today — and they came through big time. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and seasoned perfectly. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it.
The portions were generous, delivery was smooth, and the entire experience was easy and professional, especially considering how last minute it was. While they were here, we were told the business is transitioning into Hook’D Seafood Express with a new menu coming, and after tasting the food, we know it’s going to be next level. The photos do not justice
If you’re looking for reliable catering with real flavor — even on short notice — this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!“

“I am a truck driver, I freaking love the food!!! I had to call and tell them over the phone!!!🤣🤣🤣“

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

“Awesome fish! Will be back next Friday for lunch.“

“Just came here for the first time. all the food was fresh the grease was fresh the bread was fresh for my steak hoagie wit h was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The employees were friendly and they truly gave me Chic Fila customer service. We will be back maybe today.“

“Great location on the river, outdoor patio was very shady and dog-friendly! Fun atmosphere. Grilled garlic-lime shrimp was fresh & delicious, lobster roll was excellent. Shrimp Po' Boy was good - generous portion of fried shrimp, but a little bland. Our server was attentive and friendly, kept our drinks fresh & cold - overall a very enjoyable evening - would definitely revisit! Arrived early on a Wednesday night - there was no wait at that time, but tables on weekend eves are likely to fill up fast!“

“Food was amazing! My husband and I had the shrimp which were large and deveined! I had the filet mignon very good and the potatoes were not overcooked. Asparagus was good but too large for my taste. The only negative was the waitress…. very intrusive, in your face when talking, asking too many questions about my earrings, and her cologne was way too strong it made us want to change seats but we stayed.“
