“INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS dogs 🌭 this place is top notch, and up until now, the best wein I’ve had in Pittsburgh.

Huge menu with unique options, and an authentic Chicago Dog that will blow. your. mind. A ‘Burgh staple for the glizzy community 🙌🏼“

“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!“

“This was my 1st visit, but definitely not my last. My parents have been there many times. First big notice is the Staff!!! I have never seen a restaurant where every server, food runner and staff worked as a great team!! To be welcomed by several staff, food arrived in great time, hot. and fantastic. Every person passing your table would ask how you are,how is everything and it truly is a group effort to 100% focus on the patrons!! I felt very special and appreciated. we ordered the zucchini strips and shared the large fish sandwich dinner. WOW! Wow! Well over a pound of fresh fish and two sides!! Outstanding just like the service and the staff. Kudos to management and staff, as you could see the great working team and how all patrons were exceptionally taken care of! You gained another life long patron.“

“I have some interesting compulsions. The staff let me sweep leaves that were bothering me during an EDM show. That's some next level customer satisfaction.

Beyond that, the venue is amazing. Excellent acoustics, great layout, multiple bars for beverage needs(if that's your thing), as well as a kitchen tucked in the back.“

“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!“

“Look for our server, David M. Friendly, great sense of humor, provided advice on food and drinks. I wanted a Porter or a stout, and he joyfully replied “Left Hand Milk Stout!” He nailed it.“

“food fantastic . waitstaff lovely.“

“Great food and wait staff!“

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

“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.“

“We had 7 people. Made reservations 2 wks prior. Food was delicious. One person got chicken parm, specifically answered "no" when asked if she wanted noodles. The meal came with noodles under her chicken. Also, there was an issue with their check. Waitress never brought the slip that gets signed from using credit card. She insisted she gave it, didn't understand they needed the part the customer actually signs. Not sure what the issue was but waitress realized she never actually rang it up which is why they didn't get the slip. So those 2, although they did like the food, weren't real happy with the service. Waitress spoke in double time. So fast it was hard to understand what she was saying. Seemed kind of moody so not sure if it was just a bad day for her, or if she's always this way. But the food was delicious!“

“Super GOOD food. Know the owners and they have done a fantastic job here. Friendly atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and again the food here is simply fantastic!!!!!!!“

“Excellent food, great service!“

“We went to this bar/restaurant today and sat at a table in the bar area. Brooke was our wait person. We ordered specials, stuffed cabbage and mashed potatoes (real) and chicken BLT, which was a salad. Everything was good. Hands down the best chicken fingers I have had. They were crunchy and tasted good. You didn't need anything to make them taste good. The prices were reasonable as well. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area!“

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

“Kim, Rus, and the entire staff, Robert and I cant thank you all enough! You gave us the perfect wedding day with your professionalism, special touches, and just working with me and my family, etc. We were truly blessed to find you guys and we cannot thank you enough or express just how special you made our day! Thanks again !“

“EXCELLENT DELI GREAT FOOD VERY CLEAN ANS FRIENDLY SERVICE THE BEST IN PITTSBURGH“

“This was my first time at Bonfire and it was amazing! Our waitress Julia was very personable and it was evident that she made an effort to interact with us! I would definitely go back!“

“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 🍻🥃💜“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food Was Awesome!

Service Was Great and Friendly!

The Atmosphere was Cool! Reminds me of one of my favorite Cabin Restaurants up in the San Bernardino Mountains of California.

Highly Recommended!“

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

“Super cool vibe! Live music, huge selection of cocktails and nice people🤙🏻“

“We had the best time here recently!! Food, staff, drinks, all amazing. The courses were fun and they kept things moving smoothly, very organized. We will definitely be back!“

“I don't drink so I don't frequent bars often. This is the 2nd time in a year I've stopped her, it was my birthday and just didn't want to be alone.
The young lady bartender happened to be the same one from like 6 months ago.

She recommended the Peach Margarita and it was delicious. Drank two and had a decent buzz going.

I waited for my food and when it came, it was flawless. I mean, for bar food.....its bar food but that shit was actually phenomenal.

All in all.....this young lady bartender makes me feel so welcome and not a bother at all..I would go back just because whoever that girl is on this 9/30/24 evening around makes me feel welcome and like she's happy I'm there.

Their wings are fantastic.

Edit: to put it in perspective, I first went to Carl's (nothing against Carl's).....i ordered a Guiness Draft and she must've heard Yeungling(spelling), so she gave me a glass of Yeungling. I'm too nice to say she messed up, I started to think maybe I did say Yeungling BUT HATE IT Why whould I say it? I don't even drink.

So my pathetic self sat there and tried to drink it. I took 3 or 4 sips, left a 2 or 3 dollar tip and walked out with nowhere else to go. Then I remembered how nice the bartender was at RoseCliff.....and could you believe, IT WAS HER AGAIN.

I've been married 18 years and I'm sure I'm much older than her so it's nothing weird like that but she is naturally kind and doesn't make me feel dumb because I'm not an alcoholic that knows about all the alcohol.

Whoever she is......pay her. Keep her. I don't know her name but I'm the guy that came in alone and got 2 peach margaritas, French dip and 6 wings to go. I added the "well done" to the wings late after I already ordered and them wings WERE PERRRRRRRRRRRRRFECTLY overcooked. No joke. Gotta bring my daughter next time (adult daughter)“

“A great local place for wings and a cold beer. Very good prices on liquor as well. A fun local place to get good quality food and have a beer. They have a couple machines available to play and the locals are always friendly. It closes early so no real issues.“

“I do not recommend this place. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar last night and were never even acknowledged. We stayed for 10-15 and after no acknowledgement from the bartender or service we left. Rhonda and Chon at the hot chocolate stand were quite the opposite of our experience inside. They were both so helpful and accommodating.“

“Excellent Enough said A 10“

“Food is amazing . Staff is friendly .“

“We get take out from here every few weeks and it's always delicious. The order is exactly right and ready when promised. The sweet slaw is excellent. Burgers, pulled pork/chicken/brisket all yummy. Recommend!!“

“Waitor was very attentive,fast service as well, fries a bit salty but definitely cooked with perfection. The BURGER IS SO JUICY, it was dripping. Very good. The atmosphere was very chill with eclectic music and beautiful ambiance. Definitely recommend.“

“Great food, service, & atmosphere!“

“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 ;)“

“fav place for bingo, wing night, or even a quick bite. always great service and great bartenders!!!“

“Very, very nice cafe. Great spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch, with many of the breakfast classics and some of their own delicious spins. They are best known for their ricotta blueberry pancakes, which I tried alongside their croissant breakfast sandwich.

First, the pancakes. These were definitely quite good. Tons of real blueberries (whole little pieces) all through a fluffy pancake. And, they make their own syrup as well! I will say, I would have preferred a stronger ricotta flavor to cut some of the sweetness. But, they were still very good pancakes.

The croissant sandwich came with egg and cheese, as well as a side of home fries. They cooked the eggs perfectly, and included just the right amount of cheese. Their default is a fried egg (you can see they got the yolk just right), but personally, I prefer scrambled eggs. You can ask for scrambled eggs for no charge, so next time I will do so. It was a super flavorful sandwich! Really nice and buttery croissant as well.

The potatoes were also very good. Cooked well and seasoned to perfection. I’m surprised as to how much flavor this side had! They salted it quite a bit too.

All in all, I really liked this spot. Nice portions (the croissant was huge and so were the pancakes), prices were reasonable, and quality was excellent. Would definitely go back!“

“I had an amazing blackened salmon salad tonight with one of the best dressings I’ve ever had, hands down! The honey lemon vinaigrette is perfection, don’t pass it up when you go! I’m pumped to come back and try more of it all. Everything looked amazing on the menu, the food I saw come out looked great, the staff and atmosphere were all on point, music and the whole vibe was perfect. Its casual wear with a nice patio, different rooms for parties, everything was super clean and it has great food and drinks! Don’t miss this spot when you’re in Mt Washington next time!!“

“We always enjoy an evening at Gil’s. Friendly waitstaff. Good food. The Mediterranean Chicken was great!!! And of course the hopper!“

“A classic local area diner. Usually decent food. I wish that they switched back to all iceberg lettuce instead of mixed greens for their salads, or at least give people the option of all iceberg. Their ranch is always great, and theres lots of fried appetizer options.“

“Love this local place. Great "bar" food. Wings are the best anywhere. And the buff chick dip is yummy too. Only thing that affects negatively is when the door to the bar (smoking) area is left open or opened frequently because that smell comes through dining area. But still love this place. Always friendly and it's local ❤️“

“I've eaten here a couple of times now for lunch. Regardless of which staff member I was assigned to, they have all been courteous, professional, and friendly. This is a little more upscale than your typical lunch spot, and that's kind of why I like it.
Pictured was a special they were having the other day. Potatoes, meat loaf, covered in a gravy. Onion slivers accompanied the gravy to bring it all together. You can't see the meatloaf due to gravy, but it was in there, and it was delicious!
If you're in the area, definitely try this place out. You're going to spend a little more coin, but the quality of food is there for the price. Oh and they are closed on Mondays, just an FYI“

“Great views, great food and best service“

“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 ~“

“We have lived up the street for 7 years and have always been hesitant to order from here. We finally decided to order the wings to go, and they were so good! The price is amazing for the quantity, whole wings served in a catering size tray. The sauces (BBQ and ranch) weren't the best but we will definitely be ordering again!“
