50 Best American Restaurants near West Homestead

“Really had a very good meal here. Had the 12oz Ribeye blackened to almost perfection with mash potatoes and gravy. Also had the shrimp/ clam chowder which was also excellent. Sat at the bar but wasn't really drinking and that wasn't an issue at all. The bartender, Brittany, who waited on me couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful.“

“my husband and I had THE BEST time here! 10/5 STARS!! 🤩 We found our new happy place!! FOOD, SERVICE, FUN!! thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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.“

“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!“

“Been to 2 events there was amazed by everything will be back often and passing it along 5 forks“

“We are regulars at Big JIm's. We love the food and the people even more. We were there when the dude came in complaining about his fish sandwich like a maniac. He was screaming, refused the staff's offer of a replacement. The staff tried to be accommodating. Even worse, he presented himself as "someone Important" and threatened the people with the "review he was going to write'. Well, clearly his review is terribly written, and lacks punctuation. Not a review I would expect from someone "so important".. Happy Mr. Important will never be back! Don't believe a word he said!“

“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!“

“You’ll never leave hungry or broke !!!“

“As a Buffalonian, I've had a mix of experiences at various concert music venues. My Thursday night (10/22/2026) at The Thunderbird for Claudio Simonetti's Goblin stands as one of my all-time favorites.

The venue was small, intimate - giving a sense that you were among a hip crowd. Staff was very gracious and welcoming, especially the kind lady working the ticketbooth that night.

Can't speak for the drinks or the food quality. But as a venue for hearing awesome music, it's hard to beat one like The Thunderbird.“

“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!“

“absolutely phenomenal food! the staff is amazing very nice and attentive! Victor took care of us and our expierence was definitely a 10/10 couldn't recommend more!“

“I can imagine this place getting packed after work and on weekends. I was in town and stopped here. Was lucky it was Wednesday for the special of the day. I LOVE hot dogs. Got the Chicago with fries and a Weldwerks POG Gelato. All was delicious- the dog, the fries and the beer. Service was awesome and they were friendly. I asked for recommendations and they don’t fail. 100% worth the visit.“

“My only criticism is how brightly lit is the place; it is a much beloved local bar. Friendly people and competent servers, good selection of drafts and bottles and the menu looks good and people seem to be happy with it.

Lots of bar space for you and a friend or 3 but also dining in the bar and back.

Son got burger and fries to go and he was happy.

SAT are $3.50 Miller products which works well for me; only Gooski's has lower tho it is their each&every price.

I got there about 8p on a SAT and there was a seat unoccupied, allowing me to order easily, tho we sat at a table. Minutes after the bar tables filled up.

I happened upon a spot out front but that may have been good timing.“

“My sister, her husband, my husband and I went to R-Place last night. I haven't been there in many years and my sister was never there. We had the Lasagna special and my husband had their pierogis. Everythjng was delicious! If you want homemade pierogis, R-Place has the BEST! The potatoes and cheese are full of cheese. The potatoes are orange with all the cheese. We will be back! The food and service was wonderful! Take a trip to R-Place for dinner. You will be glad you did! Thank You! Sheila Eagle-Keener“

“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.

Ordered my burger medium rare and was cooked exactly as I requested (a little blood inside). Juicy and delicious!!! Absolutely devoured it!

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.“

“It's a varied menu. But I felt that the steak prices were out of this world for 1 steak for 1 person at fifty dollars a shot. I didn't order the steak , but the salmon was very good and so was the apricot chicken salads are fantastic. It's a little pricey , but I felt I got the right dinner for myself and my friend“

“Good food, wonderful friendly staff, good prices. A very welcome addition to the pittsburgh casual pub family.

Update: I tried the smash burger daily special on Monday June 22. Best Burger I've had for a long time, and it was only 10 bucks. The daily specials are a good deal! I'll update as I work my way through them. But, come in for a daily special as a way to check the place out for 10 bucks!!“

“My wife and I made brunch reservations and were looking forward to exploring the area. I ordered a Bistro Bloody Mary which was great, real smooth and not overly acidic like others I have had. My beloved ordered the Lavender Lemonade light and refreshing. Perfect for the summer day. She had the Eggs Benedict on toasted Wolferman's English muffin, Canadian bacon, poached egg and hollandaise garnished with chive. The Eggs Benedict is outstanding. Perfectly poached egg, the Canadian bacon delivered the right amount of salt and the hollandaise brought it all together. I enjoyed the steak and eggs with beef tenderloin tips cooked medium rare with two eggs your choice and smothered with chipotle chimichurri that is absolutely out of this world. Both of our entrees were served with twice cooked red potatoes. Baked on a bed of sea salt then smashed and lighly fried. These amazing potatoes became a star on menu. After eating one, I knew this beyond a doubt. They are lite and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Fantastic job chef! The wait staff is attentive with their service. The chef a true professional. We spoke with the owner Greg and he was gracious enough to give us a little history and point out some things that made Bistro 19 special. I sampled a delicious buttermilk biscuit and even a touch of their signature sage and maple sausage gravy. Bistro 19 is true gem. Dinner reservations are coming soon.“

“This was our first time here and the breakfast/lunch bar was open. it was phenominal. great quality of food, tons of choices in buffet style containers to keep it hot. Everything from made to order omlettes, waffles, sausage, salad, pot roast, mashed potatoes, tender breakfast potatoes. my husband said it was the best omlette he has ever had. he had the Irish Omlette. Great staff. This was a huge win. very comfortable seating. The chef was also amazing“

“Great food positive energy nice portions I love it here“

“My husband got the Chimichurri steak and egg hash. He will not stop talking about it. He gives it a 5/5. Service was good too.“
