50 Best American Restaurants near Swissvale

“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 2 b had fun with u Brooooooo“

“Lots of fun at Boomerang!“

“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!“

“Food was amazing. Location is awful. Came out after dinner and our car was smeared with ketchup packets. Wish it was in a different area, would definitely go back. Feel the area is not safe.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were at Thunderbird this past Sunday for a concert. We brought our 6 year old so she could see her favorite artist perform. While we were there, one of the security staff came over to us multiple times to make sure we were okay with our daughter, offered to take us to a different side of the venue that they made more room after the opener and other kids were there. My kiddo doesn’t like crowds, so we stayed in the back near the steps. Throughout the night, this gentleman came over to us several times just to check in. He also cleared the steps of people standing in front of us so our daughter could see better. I wish we got his name, but he was wonderful. None of us asked him to do that or asked for any special treatment, but the fact that he came over several times to just check in was incredibly nice and such a meaningful thing to do for us as a parent. There was also a girl security guard that had cigarette earrings that was very kind too. Great first experience overall.“

“Finally had a chance to stop in and have dinner, I wish I had come sooner. The staff was friendly and courteous. The food and presentation were excellent. Definitely stop in if you in the area.“

Excited to go back again soon.“

“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.“

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

“Pearl was outstanding and very accommodating. Definitely a great asset to the establishment.“

“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!“

“We were stuck at the UPMC Passavant McCandless ER late one evening when the hospital cafeteria was already closed—no options there! Desperate for something quick and decent, I ordered takeout from NPL (the closest reliable option nearby), and wow, I’m so glad I did.
The food came fast—super efficient service even during what must have been a busy time. I got the chicken tenders, and they were huge pieces—perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and absolutely delicious. The side salad was another pleasant surprise; it was generously portioned (way bigger than your typical “side” salad) and fresh.
Best of all, the price was very reasonable—great value, especially when you’re in a pinch at the hospital.
If you’re ever near UPMC Passavant and need solid, satisfying takeout, I highly recommend this place. It turned a stressful night into a much better one with good food done right. Definitely 5 stars!“

“Wonderful food and great atmosphere“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“As a celiac, it’s hard for me to find a place where I feel comfortable eating and can eat “normal”. Our meal last night checked both boxes! Chris was amazing and put me at ease. The food was delicious, and I loved all the flavors in the grapple burger! Thanks for being so good to the gluten free community!“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my son there yesterday. What a cool place and cool history. Jessica was awesome and even gave us a private tour of the entire building. Food was amazing and we will definitely be back soon.!!!“

“My Husband and I eat here often for breakfast Friday mornings date time for us. We usually ask for the back near a window mainly because Sharon King serves this area she is always so happy and even when we we sometimes bring the granddaughter goes out of her way to make sure we have everything we need!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Rocky’s had a Friday night buffet of Polish food, and the selection and quality of the food was first rate! We just happened to see the flier on Facebook so we decided to check it out. It was our first time here. I finished my meal with a retro banana pudding with Nila wafers and cream. Delicious nostalgia! The buffet had several kid-friendly options, so at $14 a person, this would be a great place to bring the family on Friday night. Next Friday’s theme is Italian night, and I can’t wait to try Mary Anne’s dishes. She is amazing!“

“Best burger and service I’ve had in a long time. Thank you“

“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 ;)“
