50 Best American Restaurants near Turtle Creek

“We dined there for the first time this week. We told our waitress, Katie, that we had never been and she went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience. Our drinks were constantly refilled and the appetizer hot pepper cheese balls were delicious. She recommended the cheese bread sticks (they were so good!) and we thought the pizza (pepperoni sausage mushrooms) was outstanding. Thank you Katie for being so attentive. We will definitely be back Shelly Pie!“

“Stopped after our grandson's soccer game (we're from Somerset.) Not fans of chain restaurants, we always look for local restaurants and pubs. We're happy to have found Churchill Haus. It was GREAT!“

“Been getting Casey’s for close to 20 yrs, never had a problem with there service or there food. If someone has a problem with them then I think you’re just being spiteful and ungrateful. Not every place caters to just one customer, respect the fact that they are a pizza place not a restaurant and be patient or order somewhere else“

“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!“

“What a warm welcome! Naomi was superb and the food was delicious! And so filling! Nothing like this at home in Roc, NY. Glad we left the resort for the local engagement and hidden gem of McGaheysville. Couldn’t leave without their merch! Charlene & Greg“

“Great service - Great food“

“food fantastic . waitstaff lovely.“

“I always make it a point to stop in when I am out this way working. Whether this place is poppin or just settling after a lunch or dinner rush the hospitality of everyone from the people at the tables next to you to the staff of this establishment is almost as good as the food!“

“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.“

“Excellent food, great service!“

“Just wanted to extend our sincere thanks to Rus, Kim, and the entire staff for continuing to be a blessing to our family and the community. Thank you for helping to make a memorial dinner into a celebration of life. The food and hospitality you provided are second to none. We appreciate everything that you did to make things easier for us.“

“This place is such a gem! My fiance and I drive 35 minutes here for the food, best breaded zucchini in Pittsburgh hands down, best nachos, and the flatbreads are amazing. The staff are always so kind and the atmosphere is great for a date night or a family night! 10/10 recommend this one for sure.“

“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.“

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

“If you want better fresh cut fries than Kennywood, Bar 48 is it. Their wings and ranch are top notch; it’s the only place I order wings from. Their owner Katelyn does an amazing job of planning many fun events and her personality brings people together!“

“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.“

“The wings here were very good I loved the General tso flavor. The onion rings were battered right. I did not care for the fries though they seemed like frozen Walmart McDonald's dupe fries. Also if you are not a smoker I suggested takeout because the food is good except for the fries.“

“What a wonderful experience while visiting Pittsburgh! Unique menu with the most scrumptious flavors! The desserts are to die for! You can tell the food is farm to table and pure! I will be back each time we visit!“

“Good food. Excellent hamburger“

“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.“

“Great people and great food“

“This place has really good wings! And the pork chop is really good too! Especially with barn sauce.“

“worth it?“

“Had a wonderful weekend at the John Butler B&B. Cozy house in a safe area. Quite and peaceful. All the staff we met at the restaurants were friendly. Everything was clean and as described. We definitely are adding this to our list of places to return to.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Excellent experience food and service!“

“We went on a Friday night for the Italian buffet. We pulled into the parking lot and it was barely any cars which made us nervous. We walked inside and it was also very empty but they did say they have the buffet so we stayed. Some of the items they had were good. The fried fish, the eggplant parm the spinach but other items seem like they have been sitting out for a while and dried out. The owners and the servers were very friendly, very welcoming and I wish them well . My wife had to brush the chicken and said it was very good. I think for $15 it was fine. What's that“

“The food was good. This was our first visit so it was tough to make a choice with so many terrific sounding options. We ordered the wild-berry waffle and the special Cajun/gumbo waffle. I am always excited when there is a Bloody Mary on the menu but when I attempted to order one I was told they were out of vodka. Boo! Also my Cajun waffle arrived at the table without the raspberry topping and I had to ask for it to be added. I’d gladly try this place again if we are ever in the area while they are open.“

“Stopped in after a visit to the zoo with a couple of friends and tried the Smokestack sandwich with fries. Was excellent, and will certainly go back again for more!“

“Always have a pleasant experience at the north Huntingdon location and talking to the waitresses. They are the best especially my go to girls Michelle, Sarah, Amber and Lizzy. Highly recommend you asking for one of them“

“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.“

“went here yesterday for the first time. we had a rather large party and our waitress was great, and even having to split the checks she was great. But the star of the show was the food. starting with the calamari and ending with an amazing grilled chicken Cesar wrap with squash. everything was wonderful. next time we come to the area we will be back.“

“We needed a place that had power during the wind storm to feed our kids and actually called asking if they had a kids menu they said yes and even told us what was on it over the phone. We ended up going the kids got chicken, fries and applesauce. Husband and I got salmon and swordfish both vary good, the bread was good,my salad was good husband said the house dressing was a little strong but still good. The waitresses were all great and super friendly. Even the customers were all friendly. The place is a little pricey though so be prepared but worth it for the price, the amount of food and the service. We'll be back!“

“So, the novelty of New Amsterdam was their iconic rooftop bar in the heart of Lawrenceville. However, they have since added a roof and enclosed that rooftop bar, and it's just not the same anymore. Perhaps it's only temporary, and they'll take it down in the spring? I don't know.“

“Great food, friendly workers nice atmosphere anytime“

“best place 2 b had fun with u Brooooooo“

“I'd heard about the wings and just had to try them. In my opinion, Buffalo Wings are truly the only thing that is special about food in Pittsburgh. I was not disappointed. They're the best I've had, and they come served in a basket with sauce of the perfect consistency pooled at the bottom. The woman behind the bar somehow takes care of everyone without any help. You could tell that she truly cared about your experience.“
