“Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ladles Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was genuine and heartfelt. The staff didn’t just serve us—they welcomed us like family.
What really stood out was how comfortable and inviting they made us feel. The team was patient, kind, and incredibly accommodating, creating an environment that felt warm, relaxed, and truly family-friendly.
You can tell there’s a strong culture among the employees—they work together seamlessly and treat guests with a level of care that’s hard to find these days. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s a place where you feel at home.
Great food, even better people. We’ll definitely be back!“

“For six years I have been looking for a new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh since my old favorite one closed. I have never found a place that had the perfect food and atmosphere I was looking for until I entered Lilith last night. Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. The service from being greeted to the absolutely awesome server we had was excellent! The food had a wow factor rarely found in Pittsburgh. I’m not usually a huge fan of how vegetables are cooked most places and the veggies in my dish just blew things out of the water. You could tell they were fresh and local too. The fish I had was just amazing. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Needless to say I will be back again and again now to experience more culinary delights!“

“Nice place to take the family or a date. Fun atmosphere for a night out with friends or a game night. The food is good and staff are amazing.“

“First time to eat at Rudy’s Table, and would definitely come back. Gnocchi Soup was delicious & Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes was also very good. Very nice service, definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Best Meatloaf I ever had in my life.. Food was incredible but it took a long time.“

“We came here for our 2 year anniversary dinner. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. Good menu selection. We both got the filet mignon and they were cooked perfectly! I will add, the mashed potatoes were the best I have ever had. Will definitely be going back!“

“Great food and wait staff!“

“A tried and true neighborhood gem. Where else can you get veggie or turkey dogs custom topped Your Way? And being able to peruse the Beer Cave for just the right microbrew or rare import makes this an easy choice for an affordable dinner out, with friends, or solo at the bar where the bartenders take good care of you.“

“Best place to eat near gibsonia. Delicious everything! Sauce, leek soup, pasta, pizza, etc. One problem : kitchen closes early, at 9... we finished eating in time, then server got annoyed with us when all we wanted was another beer. Told us bar was closed also. Other times I've been there I was told to continue to order beer even after kitchen closed. Very uncomfortable. Only 9:00.“

“We went on a Friday during lent because we'd heard the fish was delicious. We were not disappointed. $19 for a piece of fish that was bigger than the plate, and it was not just breading with a tiny sliver of fish inside, plus a salad, plus bread & butter, plus your choice of potato. I couldn't eat it all! It was all served hot and freshly cooked with homemade ranch dressing and homemade tartar sauce.“

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

“Excellent food, great service!“

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

“Oh boy I can't write a good enough review for here. My grandfather took me here as a kid and I always liked it. I got older and began to love it. I was able to get my dad, daughter, wife and brother to all come for breakfast and it was fantastic. Cash only, but it's always very affordable, timely and tasty. Bre, the waitress is the best.“

“Jody B's has been a family favorite for years now. It's a reminder of what great restaurants were like years ago. I take my mother there as often as possible. She's quite elderly now and the staff is always very patient and accommodating. We appreciate them hope to continue dining there for years to come.“

“Excellent service and helps you with a smile. I get a lot of takeout and she is very courteous too. Love the food and the restaurant is always clean. Sydney is a real asset for eatnpark“

“★★★★★ Ash Taphouse is hands down one of the best spots around for great drinks, food, and atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. The tap selection is impressive—whether you’re into local craft brews, rotating seasonal options, or tried-and-true favorites, there’s always something new and exciting to try. The food absolutely delivers, too. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. It’s the kind of place where you go for a drink and end up staying for dinner (and maybe another round). What really sets Ash Taphouse apart is the service. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. You can tell they care about creating a great experience. If you’re looking for a place to relax with friends, catch a game, or just enjoy top-notch food and drinks, Ash Taphouse is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Love the food. Had the chicken Parmesan half hoagie last night with fries. I get a side of their hot sauce to dip my fries in. It is very spicy and most people probably can’t handle it but it is one of my favorite sauces and I always get it for tenders or fries.

Bri is the best bartender, Gwyn is a close 2nd and the owners are so friendly. Love it!“

“Everybody please try the Kitchen on Penn excellent food & outstanding service 👍“

“Wonderful food and great atmosphere“

“I'd heard great things about Hubx, but today was my first visit and what a pleasant experience it was! Their philly cheese steak was delicious and the owners are friendly, genuinely interested in the customer's enjoyment and satisfaction, and are very interesting people. Will definitely return.“

“We are from out of town and ate here from a recommendation and were not disappointed, except for the hash browns containing 5 lbs of grease. I did not trust my stomach to handle it, but everything else, eggs, toast, bacon, pancakes, etc were absolutely delicious.“

“The chicken wings are great and their salads are the best. The house dressing is unmatched. Great customer service as well. Had a small issue one time (a miscommunication when ordering over the phone) and they more than made up for it. They earned bonus points in my book for that.“

“Inndigo Blue is a nice restaurant. The menu is somewhat limited, but the food was excellent. I had a cup of French onion soup and a chef's salad, both of which were quite good. My server (Kimberly) was helpful and very pleasant. She was appropriately attentive to my needs without being in any way intrusive. I live about 4 hours away and was here on business staying at the Comfort Inn (attached). I don't know when/if business will take me to this same address again, but for a simple, tasty dinner, Inndigo Blue is a winner. Thanks!!“

“Was in a real predicament when caterer for daughters wedding did not show up, these folks did not hesitate when I called to provide me as much as they could quickly. The chicken was delicious, the guests said they were glad the other place did not show up😁they truly helped me salvage the night. Class act and awesome food.“

“Very nice resteraunt to get a snack and drinks. The prices were reasonable and there are plenty of seats to eat or take with you. The food was hot and fresh. No problems with the food, the service was good. There were several schools there, so kinda hectic, but other than that, it was very good, and it's right when you enter the zoo.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for kids to sit and run around.“

“Not from the area, and my husband and I stopped in for one beer. Four hours later we left after having good service, cold beer, good conversations and the best nachos I’ve had.“

“I ordered via Uber Eats. I had a question about the menu so I called the restaurant but they did not answer. I was surprised when they called me back ...when does that ever happen?! My order arrived exactly as I ordered it and they didn't miss any of the sides. They have a huge selection of desserts and I got the sweet potato pie, it tastes like my 95 yr old grandma from Tennessee made it! Get the homemade healthy green tea drink, you won't be disappointed! The portions are huge... but I'm most impressed with the more flavorable twist on traditional hibachi. ❤ keep it up. I found a new spot!!“

“best place 2 b had fun with u Brooooooo“

“Great good, Great service. Bartender was super friendly. Went for lunch and will be back! I had the chicken soup & chicken sammich. Delicious! �“

“Kathy was great as a waitress. food was wonderful. fish was very fresh. we will return. 5 stars.“

“We visited Cornerstone for Brunch. I had an omelette with leeks and asparagus and a white sangria. The food and drinks are really good here. Expertly crafted with great nuances of flavor.
Cornerstone is a bit overpriced for portion size but not extremely.
The service here is lacking for me. There is just a snobbish aura from the staff who only seem particularly interested in their regular, repeat customers. New customers seem to be treated with covert flippancy. Therefore, I probably won't be back unfortunately.“

“If you love good food and a tremendous beer selection, look no further. The Bloody Mary’s are pretty good too.“

“the facilities are great, museum carriage House gift Center conservatory Clayton tours. don't waste your time at the cafe. did not feel welcome there too many policies that are inhospitable. policies that are not welcoming. also the manager is rude and Ben's the policy rules for certain people in certain groups. also don't believe the menu they post I thought the menu you'll get when you go in. it's a little overpriced for what's offered. the food is fairly average nothing outstanding it can't be made in your kitchen. plan to go to the property do the tours and museum and then you'll find better restaurants more hospitable off property in the area.“

“I usually love eating here and understand that it gets very busy. However, they do not run reservations well. I checked in 30 minutes after making my reservation. My quoted time was 40 to 55 minutes. We waited an additional 30 to be told that I wasn't checked in properly. Waited a total of an hour and 20 minutes and still was not seated.“

“Jenna was amazingly friendly and accomodating. Helped me figure out a good low carb drink. Wonderful smile.“

“We ate here tonight and the service was amazing. Bri or Bria was our waitress and she was one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had. There were about 16 of us all together and she took really good care of us. Constantly kept an eye on our drinks. We never had to ask for a refill. She was always smiling and even sang happy birthday to my special needs niece who we were there for celebrating. We all hung out for a while after we ate and never felt rushed which is what I really liked. Thank you for the wonderful service and great food. We spun the cool wheel for my nieces birthday for a prize.“

“Hands down BEST Surf and Turf I’ve had in the past several years! My wife and I enjoyed everything about this dinner! Shoutout to Chef Vick!! Food was amazing! Great service friendly staff. Wyatt did a fantastic job as a our server! Can’t wait to stop back! 💯“

“The staff was amazing. The management is amazing. Definitely the best place in Pittsburgh. Just go.“

“very nice place, food was excellent. was told by many people how nice it is and finally saw for ourselves.will definitely be back!“

“A Heartfelt Reflection on Professionalism & Respect I believe in supporting local establishments and building community wherever I go. When I walk into a space, I come with kindness, respect, and the intention to simply enjoy good company and a welcoming atmosphere. Recently, I’ve experienced a shift in service that left me feeling uncomfortable and dismissed. What once felt warm and inviting has become cold and unprofessional through eye-rolling, dismissive responses, and careless service. Respect should never depend on how often someone visits, who they are, or what they look like — professionalism is the standard, not the exception. As patrons, we notice the small things — tone, body language, and how we are treated when we walk through the door. Establishments should remember that every guest is observing, every interaction matters, and every moment reflects the character of the business. My hope is simple: that businesses remain mindful of how staff attitudes shape the entire experience. Because you never know who is sitting in your seats, and you never know who is quietly witnessing the level of professionalism being offered. Respect is remembered. Kindness is remembered. And so is the absence of both. let me add the food is delicious. I have no other reservations but for the one barmaid jess was my barmaid. February 7th time is 1:46 p.m.“

“worth it?“

“Staff is ALWAYS friendly. Great atmosphere. Cool music. Good lighting. A vast variety of menu choices. Lots of TVs.
We are regular patrons and staff greet us as we come in by names. Managers are usually accommodating to rectify any problems.“

“Monique is a wonderful server.“

“Had a wonderful experience today at Roman Bistro. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter David was terrific. I chose the perfect restaurant for my birthday lunch.“

“Got the gigantic pancake with breakfast! Amazing! Wonderful staff too! We’ll be back!“

“My son and I had dinner for Mother’s Day. Our first experience at this restaurant. Aside from a small miscommunication where the side dishes were delivered to the table alongside the apps, everything was very good. They corrected the sides and delivered fresh with the entrees, the sides were easily large enough to share amongst three or four people and the food was very good. The app, sides and entrees, as well as the gluten free chocolate cake were all delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return.“
