“I come from a Mexican family in California, so when I moved to Pittsburgh, I was deeply disappointed at the lack of good, authentic Mexican food. When I found this place, I rejoiced! The food is amazing: made with the authentic basics in mind, yet refined with originality. It really feels like home in all the best ways.”
“For those who enjoy Indian food, I highly recommend Bombay to Burgh. This "home cooking" restaurant came highly recommended by our neighbors as well as @alexeatstoomuch. It's a small place in Swissvale, just a few minutes off the Parkway East. We opted for the Sunday buffet. Plenty of selections and a VERY reasonable price! The food was excellent!”
“My husband and I had dinner at Robinson’s Smokey Bones last night. We were hungry and not disappointed with our meal. We had a friendly, upbeat waiter, Patrick, who gave us suggestions based on what we asked about menu items. My filet medallions, potatoes, and broccoli as a were delicious, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal as well. The berry cheesecake we split for dessert was scrumptious! We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll ask for Patrick on our next visit! I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty meal in a great setting!!”
“We had an excellent dinner at Monterey Bay last evening. I had the Branzino which was filleted and cooked perfectly. My wife had the seafood trio which was a starter for her entree. It included some tuna, salmon, shrimp and a delicious crab cake. We also split the Mediterranean salad which was very fresh. John was our waiter and was very knowledgeable and attentive. I am convinced Monterey Bay is the best seafood restaurant in Pittsburgh after dinning there several times and enjoying the magnificent view.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“First time dining at Senti. Not a big menu to choose from, but what you do get is quality. The apps were very good to start the evening and the dinners were excellent. Nice portions and very tasty. Drinks are very good and paired nicely with dinner. We will definitely be back.”
“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.”
“We had the pleasure of visiting Altius for the first time, and it was truly delightful. The entire staff was kind and welcoming, making our experience all the more enjoyable. The food surpassed our expectations. A special thanks goes to our server, Jacob, whose attentive service truly enhanced our evening. We are grateful for his professionalism and warm demeanor.”

“This hidden gem check all the good boxes! It takes a bit longer to get your food but it really is worth the wait. Our waitress was super nice and it was a very clean place. They have some of the best tasting fries you can get here. Very low noise level and no wait time to get seated. Prices are very reasonable. There is lots of parking in a lot right next door and some behind the building. This used to be Toms Diner. Very nice menu. If you haven't been here you really should try it”

“What a wonderful experience eating here!

Everything I have tried has been amazingly prepared, the staff is excellent, and the atmosphere relaxed and beautiful. I'll definitely be making this a favorite dinner place!”

“We’ve dined twice at Alla Famiglia and it’s the best Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh. Their portions are massive and we’ve always had enough for lunch the next day. The three things we recommend are the grilled octopus appetizer, any of the veal chops, and the seafood diavola. You need to see the size of the veal chops in person as pictures online don’t do it justice. We thought the Cavatappi tasted better than the Cacio pasta, even though Cacio costs more. Overall it’s pricey for Pittsburgh, but the quality is superior and you get enough for lunch the next day. Another tip is get a bottle of their spicy olive oil on the way out. I add it to many dishes for an extra kick and it makes for a great present.”
“OUTSTANDING EMOLOYEES!!!! From the bartenders to the servers, the chefs and everyone in-between, great service. The food was delicious!! thank you all for all your hard work to make our Christmas Party magical!”
“Hands down the best food and dining experience in Pittsburgh, whether you are vegan or not. Always friendly staff, always great wine, always a delightfully appealing menu. I only wish they were open more throughout the week. Reasonably priced for the high quality of the food.”

“First time in Pittsburgh so we decided to stop for some breakfast at the speckled egg. It’s nestled inside a historical building with lots of beautiful architecture.I got a latte which was perfect, and the I am Kazam skillet with avocado, chicken sausage and potatoes. The Kazam was great but could use just a bit more flavor. I added their home made pineapple hot sauce and it tasted great.I would recommend this spot and hope to come back!”
“The Butter Makhani with Lamb was delightful. The meat was very tender. Very satisfied with how well proportioned our meals were. The service was great! The Garlic Naan was delicious and lastly, the Gulab Jaman for dessert is a must! We will definitely be back soon!!”
“Tucked in the heart of thr cultural district Gaucho Parrilla Argentina is an international trip for your taste buds. From the moment you Wal in you can smell the wood fired meat just waiting to melt in your mouth. The menu has a wide variety of food that has generous portions. We recommend the foccacio bread and empanadas as appetizers. For our entree we had a variety of the sandwiches all of which were huge. For dessert we had the lemon meringue custard and red velvet cake. Our waiter was excellent, fast and attentive. If your coming to the cultural district I highly recommend you visit here. It is well worth it.”
“Fabulous dinner, unique menu, we had Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, Guinness Roast Beef, Fish and Chips, and Salmon, then shared the Bread pudding, all was excellent!”
“I highly recommend Echt Coffeehouse as a special gift you can give yourself and share with friends and family. Every detail of the Echt experience is worthy of comment, but it is best to just check it out and see how the unique space and atmosphere speaks to you. Oh, and the food and drinks are amazing! Thanks to everyone at Echt Coffeehouse for all your positivity and “echt.””
“Excellent restaurant! Can’t wait to return. Everyone is so welcoming and fantastic hosts. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, art, and creativity while enjoying really outstanding food. It was the perfect spot for my birthday tonight. ❤️”
“If I could leave a 9 star review, I would! Truly unique and artisanal cocktails, an inspired small plate menu, and presentation of food and drink that is reinventing and exceeding any expectations I ever could have dreamt up. Giuliana is a thorough, knowledgeable, and all around classy server.”
“An excellent Spanish restaurant. Entering inside transports you out of Pittsburgh, vaulted ceilings, beautiful wood finished and hanging legs of pig set the scene. While expensive, the food is creative and delightful.”

“Staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and skilled. Every time I'm there I'm amazed not only at the quality of care, but the helpfulness of everyone in the building. A doctor went out of his way to walk me to the office I was looking for, and we picked up another directionally challenged visitor searching for their floor on the way.”
“Just needed a bite to eat after a long trip across the state. The pierogi? Simple, but well prepared and plated with style. Good price, and the bar selection was great, though I did not indulge. Would and will definitely stay there and eat/drink there. A lot of whiner reviews here, but I was duly impressed and I have stayed at two others in the neighborhood and this is the best of the bunch.”
“We ordered delivery when we were in a local hotel. The pizza was SO GOOD! Ours had feta/bacon/red peppers/spinach The crust and pizza were perfect, but the delivery time was very slow. Pizza was still hot, so I think they were just slammed.”
“4 stars for food cause hey its fast food.3 stars for service and atmosphere I would be willing to give 5 across the board but they have a woman there who disrespects everyone in the evenings. She kinda reminds me of that evil principle from recess if she had a baby with the evil lady who throws that little girl in the movie Matilda. She needs a class in customer service to a severity. And trust me. She has to be the rudest woman I've come across in customer service..”
“We got eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, country fried steak and sausage. The The sausage is the best tasting ever. The steak was delicious. Hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. We can't wait to go back.Dietary restrictions: I am a T1 diabetic so I can have any of the great tasting meats and eggs. They SF syrup was available as well.”
“Our waitress was very helpful and attentive without being over bearing. The food was good but I would like to see more variety in the menu selection. The Happy Hour menu and drinks are a great bargain. Thanks for having them.”
“Great chill place to meet on the North Shore. Their beer is top notch. Their food selection is a little limited but it's good - go for the beer and a quick bite or casual meal. The outdoor patio is great and you can bring your dog.”

“Phenomenal Mexican baked goods. Deliciously prepared breads and pastries. A cheerful, clean establishment with reasonable prices, and a very friendly owner. A gem nestled on Beverly Road.”
“Such an awesome restaurant. Had a great experience. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was fantastic. Same with the wonton soup; never had better wontons. We also got beef fried rice and string bean chicken. All of it was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Thanks for the great lunch!”
“Shout out to Mission BBQ! We don't get to eat over here often being an hour away but we love the food and love your mission.! The brisket and pork are amazing and I have never had potato salad like yours. I would love the recipe. Thank you for the great service in every way it comes.”
“Me and my girlfriend went to Baby Tacos today for the first time we got there a few minutes before they opened. Who I’m assuming the owner was very friendly and still waited on us. The food was done in minutes and when I went to check out he told me to put my money away the first one is on the house. There aren’t to many businesses like this one in this day and age. Food was great will definitely be a return customer”
“Waffles aren't that great...The omelet was delicious, but I couldn't see the added green pepper. The jasmine blooming tea didn't have a good scent either. The Turkish bread we ate together was delicious.^^”
“Our City Brew Tour with tour guide Braxton in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania was fantastic! He knew his stuff when it came to every brewery we visited, and he knew his stuff when it came to beer in general.”
“Found these at the north side farmers market on Friday. Worth the price for the full size biscuits. Huge and fluffy. Great on their own or with some chili this time of year!! Highly recommend”
“Hands down the best food and dining experience in Pittsburgh, whether you are vegan or not. Always friendly staff, always great wine, always a delightfully appealing menu. I only wish they were open more throughout the week. Reasonably priced for the high quality of the food.”
“Was just at the Indiana location and wanted a low carb late that wasn’t made with sucralose - they were kind and accommodating and made me a delicious slightly sweet latte with stevia and vanilla bean paste that is so good ! So glad to go support local and really great quality coffee over a chain branch - also got my toddler and adorable sprinkle cookie”
“Clean and colorful, all-gender friendly, delicious coffee cakes, very nice owner. He really has a sense of community and is using his space to do good in the community through neighborhood clean-ups, chess events for all levels, and more. Check it out.”
“If you're visiting Pittsburgh DO NOT MISS breakfast at Pamela's. Get the hotcakes. Much more like a thin crepe, you'll be telling everyone back home about them. Enjoy! You're welcome.”
“As a vegan finding a vegan restaurant that has more than tofu is amazing. And if you are gluten free, they are friendly to you as well.Appetizers were delicious, especially the brussels sprouts.I have had 4 main courses over my visits and each one had distinct impressive flavor.Too stuffed for dessert.Their fresh juices are amazing too.Easy to miss this place, but don't.Vegetarian options: so many, many vegan and gluten free options too”
“This was my first time here. I highly recommend. The environment was friendly and full of different groups of people having a blast. Some were watching the game on the big TV's, some were playing the available board games. The music was poppin'!!! People of all ages were there which I thought was cool. Everyone was having a blast and I will be back. Staff was friendly and helpful!”
“What do you do when you're just not up to cooking on Christmas? @Layali to the rescue! Veggie pizza, spinach samosas, chicken tenders with fries, and savory cauliflower! Family was well fed with just a few leftovers. Thank you for being open today!”
“The staff was excellent. The atmosphere was snappy. The presentation was perfect, the food was fabulous. Loved the carrot & beet salad; and tuna was so good! Thx, see you again soon.”
“Great service from Jenna! She’s very good at explaining everything and makes sure you enjoy your experience to the fullest. Highly recommend asking to be seated in her section.”
“The location is an odd corner of downtown - but don’t let that discourage you! The owner is very nice, the restaurant is very clean, the food is authentic, and the ingredients are of great quality. We wanted to have a delicious meal before traveling to Korea for the first time and it was a perfect introduction. Thank you for a delicious dinner and all the well wishes!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Amazing food amazing service. Door dashed from them and when they didn't have the Elote ins tock they sent me other yummy goodies and a hand written apology for being out of stock. Glad to support this business!”
“Love, love, loved Legends Eatery! The atmosphere was so quaint, cozy and chill. The wait staff was fun and friendly. The food was simply amazing! Check out the pics! Definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, recommend!”
“GREAT CIDERS, PIZZAS, and VIBES! Tried Threadbare Coder House for the first time last night - I am REALLY late to this party - and it was fantastic! First off, if you're a toddler mom like me, you know a night out with the kids can be more stressful than fun. Threadbare was totally kid friendly and has an amazing corner with giant light bright boards and magnatiles for the kids to play! It was amazing and the most relaxed my husband and I have been out in a long time! Like it was so nice that even if the service and food hadn't been good I would have returned for that feature alone- thank goodness that wasn't the case! We ordered two pizzas - the buffalo chicken and chicken bacon ranch. Both pizzas were sooo good! We especially loved the buffalo chicken! The chicken is a slow cooked braised cider chicken that is so flavorful. The ranch on both pizzas is homemade and herby, and the dough is a homemade sourdough crust which was perfectly crisp and thin. Very well executed. Service was fantastic! We felt very well taken care of, we were given the cookie for the kids on the house and the food and drinks were out quickly. Our favorite cider was probably the tiki which is a seasonal recipe and has a hint of coconut. It was delicious. We also really liked the imperial cherry and guava flavors. The bridge city bubbly was nice but sweet lovers beware - it's very dry. Overall we loved our visit to Threadbare and will be back soon! Our only regret is that we didn't know about it sooner!”
“words can’t describe how delightful my experience was at this Chick-fil-A. everything about my experience made me yearn for more time at the Chick-fil-A. in particular there was a worker named Dennis who asked us if we needed anything else and always greeted us politely overall the food was great and I had a fabulous time. Might have Chick-fil-A for dinner.”
“Delicious home-cooked style food. Always delicious, from the burgers to the dinner meals. Wonderful salad bar, soups and pies!! Great for comfort food and family friendly. Clean restrooms.”
“Love Rita's! New drive thru is great and they're always super friendly and quick service! Quality is consistent.Some days get super busy but that's a good problem to have!”
“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!!”
“My sweet Pit Bull Agnes goes to Steel City Rehab due to her Lou Gehrig's disease. I always get her a Dairy Queen soft serve as her reward for all of her efforts to try to walk. Thank you Dairy Queen for making her so happy!!!!!”
“Very clean, good food, great service. Easy to find off the highway, plenty of parking. Young lady working the cash register this morning (4/18/24) was wonderful!”
“Visited this incredible Uzbek restaurant a couple of days ago and I'm still in awe! From scratch-made dishes that transported me to merry days, to an abundant selection of salads, pilaf, and savory baked goods, every bite was a celebration. Celebrated a special occasion here (they're perfect for anything from birthdays to anniversaries), and the two women owners couldn't have been more accommodating. Forgot a card for my present, and they saved the day with a beautiful card. They even helped us with costumes for a fun game with our guests! The food? Absolutely amazing. The atmosphere? Cozy, welcoming, with perfectly arranged tables that made the evening even more special. Highly recommend this gem for any occasion. #UzbekCuisine #CozyDining #SpecialOccasions"”
“We decided to order pizza tonight and were closer to this Fox's than our normal one, so I thought why not try it? It was the best Fox's pizza I've had in a LONG time. Was ready on time. Lots of cheese. Friendly service. This is our go-to Fox's Pizza from now on.”
“I just want to say that I've been recently going to Fox's I guess maybe the last year or so and their food is just fantastic they pay attention to every detail that you asked him to do such as baked well hoagie light on dressing no mushrooms or whatever the case may be I just think this is the nicest little place in the world the owner is so wonderful I don't even know his name but the staff when you walk in you you almost feel like they know you personally I just think this is a wonderful play in shame on you if you don't take advantage of it”
“Exactly what you would expect from a Chick-fil-A! Fast, hot and tasty goodness from a friendly and efficient crew only it is on the Duquesne Campus! Plenty of seating on the 5th floor of the Student Union Building with nice views of the city. Closed on the weekends so get your grub on M-F! And don't forget the Chick-fil-A sauce!”
“Love Hidden Harbor! Been multiple times over a couple of visits (live out of state) and the team always delivers! Food is so good and Tiki drinks are the best! Had recently traveled to Hawaii and sipped a few Mai Tai. Could not wait to have the bartenders at Hidden Harbor make a couple for me. The rum Old Fashioned was good too! Love the burgers, fish tacos and calamari”
“Hugely enjoyed my super delux hearty tomato soup with crusty bread croutons and cheese last night! Note that "Comfort and Spice" operates from *inside* Necro, an awesome winter alternative to the usual food truck experience.”
“ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Picked for our date night and WOW were we amazed! Can’t wait to come back for more delicious meals! Thank you again for an amazing night!”

“Outstanding meal and fantastic service!I tried several different items that were suggested by the servers and all of them received high marks.Don't pass on this place! However, you may want to have a plan because of the price point... there's plenty of great items to choose from and you'll want to try a lot of them! Save room for dessert!!Enjoy!”
“Bella Christie never disappoints . They’ve made my daughter some pretty amazing cakes . They always exceed my expectations , Not to message super delicious. I also want to know that the communication is also noteworthy. They respond quickly and note define details!”
“What can I say ,Just look at the menu The steak was the best I ever had, they go out of their way to serve u the an awesome meal, sides were just as good and desserts where right on. The drink are phenomenal if you got time stop in!!!!”
“Quite the experience. Ordered the 7 course. The first course was awesome, and each one got better and better. The server was fabulous and described each course in detail, including flavor and texture, after placing it in front of us. I highly recommend trying this if you haven't already. Reservations are required.”
“This is our FAVORITE place! Great for special occasions or just a night. I also really enjoy the fact that the owner comes to check on how you're enjoying your experience and if you need anything. 10/10!!”
“Above average American Steakhouse. Service was so efficient. Rolls were hot and addictive even when we were holding back. Waghu beef meatballs were delicious. Wedge salad and Tomato / Burrata were embellished with attention to details. Steak was tender and cooked to perfection. Chilean sea bass was moist and succulent. Roasted chicken had crispy skin. It was tender and sauced nicely Butter Cake is a MUST. Great meal. Great wine list.”
“Eddie Merlot was a favorable for us in business and personal dining. In last year the restaurant had a top down staff change so I think they are revamping so that is a challenging process. Our waiter Matt was outstanding and everything a steakhouse regular knows to want and expect from the experience. He was attentive, informed, sincere and timely. Kudos if they garner more staff like him. I would encourage corporate to invest in new carpeting. It looks bad. As a marketing person I would encourage them to find a way to drive socials groups in for some happy hours as it seemed peculiarly quiet.”
“EXCELLENT - Highly recommend this restaurant for a great evening out. Service is exceptional, the food was well done and the atmosphere was great. Price paid was worth the experience.”
“What started out as a date night spot has turned into a staple for us, and for good reason. The attention to every single detail doesn’t go unnoticed. The food is top notch, every time. The bar, cocktails and wine are thoughtfully (and perfectly) executed. The service and atmosphere are both inviting, professional, light, and fun. Seriously, the best. 10/10 all around :)”
“The provolone cheese wheel was so delicious! My poor husband barely got any before I ate most of it! I haven’t eaten anything deep fried in a long time. The pasta dish was also delicious. My husband who is not gluten free also enjoyed his meal. Service was great as well. We will definitely be back. There is so much we want to try on the menu!”
Cheap Eats
“This place is AMAZING! My mom and I are in town for a college tour, and many people were walking around with the ice cream so I suggested we give it a try. Immediately the two guys in there were delightful and very helpful and cheery. The atmosphere was so fun the moment we walked in. The flavors were amazing and I almost couldn’t choose between the Thin Mint and the Pittsburgh Pride. I ended up going with the latter. It is like brownie/oreo/cookie chunks and butterscotch. There might be another thing added. My mom got the pear flavor. We are both extremely satisfied with our choices. They did say that the flavors change up pretty often - for example, they’re getting ready for Blackberry Lemonade. But Pittsburgh Pride will always be available. So if you’re looking for a cute little dessert place after dinner, this is the place!”
“Very amazing food, if you are looking for something new or just visiting and want some delicious Lebanese food this is the place to come, the service was amazing and the food was delicious!Parking: Plenty of street parking roughly 2 blocks worth”
“Simple yet insanely good flavor, I couldn't get enough. The stuffed french toast was amazing, and the homefries were indescribably good. Friendly staff and clean dining area. Will definitely be coming back soon!”
“Amazing pizza and wonderful staff!! So far, my favorite is the white pizza with sausage. Highly recommend the grandma pie dough. I also really loved the calzone #1 with sopressatta and hot honey. Looking forward to trying more items there. Keep up the good work guys - Bravo! :)Wheelchair accessibility: There is a free parking lot right next to the store. The sidewalk leading to the front door is in good condition.”
“Beautiful convenient Turkish restaurant with all the offerings breakfast, lunch and Dinner!! Great choice to try something new!! Excellent Hummus, bread and Coffee.”
“Amy's bakery is a staple in Mount Lebanon. Whenever I am in the area, I find myself stopping by to try something new. The pastries and desserts are not only delicious, but unique and authentic. I appreciate that the bakery items are not too sweet, yet still packed with flavor. You can taste the soulfulness in each bite! The cherry on top is the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service.”
“Dawn was such a cheerful person, greeting us immediately and talking to us like old friends. Was a great first trip and we will be back! Many flavors to choose from!”
“Espresso and egg Benedict’s were ridiculously good. Highly recommend. The eggs Benedict remind me of New Orleans they are so good. And it’s always nice to find a place that has good espresso. They made the perfect real macchiato(not the Starbucks abomination)”
“Very friendly family environment! Husband and wife were very great to us. We drove all from Philadelphia to go to the hall of fame in Ohio to stop here because of diners drive ins and dives. They did not disappoint. They were busy but accommodating. Food was very large and very good! Highly recommend it!”
“Best areas I've had from a restaurant! Had a Venezuelan roommate in college and have been friends for 20 yrs. Eaten many areas at restaurants and homemade and these were perfect!I got this nice juicy arepa with a wonderfully crispy corn flour shell and could not have been more pleased with it. Excellent blend of ingredients! I got the pabellon with seasoned shredded chicken, plantain, black beans, and quest fresco, smeared both sauces on and got into the messy traditional Venezuelan hand "taco". With some minor effort it didn't completely fall apart, just a few bites of ingredients fell out. That means they didn't skimp on the food but also didn't overload it to bursting. Perfect! Paired it with a classic Venezuelan Malta barley soda. Yum!The decor here is exactly how it should be you guys are doing an awesome job and 4.8 stars right now is Ballin! ROCK ON, Papelon!Don't mind the honey in the photo, I got it down the street from the Squirrel Hill Market. My wife loves the dark buckwheat honey and the kids will be delighted with the honey sticks.”
“Visiting from out of town with family, we all live out of town. This pizza place is right around the corner. We stopped in to buy soda and grabbed a menu for later. Meet the night manager Chris, super nice and very helpful. Later we called to order pizzas to pick up. Ordered 3 large pizzas, one plain cheese, one of the new superoni and the new pittsburger pizza, all were AMAZING! Lots of flavor, fresh dough, crust was soooo yummy! We also ordered a tossed salad, it’s enough for 4 people, and French fries, very crispy and plenty for 6 people. Would definitely go back again next time in Pittsburgh.”
“Amazing food with amazing prices! All noodles are 12 bucks and some change. Get a five spice if you like living on the edge lol.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian dishes.”
“I ordered a make your own bowl. The rice felt a little “old” otherwise it was pretty good. The portion could be a little bigger. The waitress who took our order was very nice to our 4 year old boy. Would definitely come back.”
“I went there for the first time with a couple of friends, the wonderful staff explained everything and they were so nice and laid back! Awesome food, great variety such a win!!”
“Best bread anywhere in the Pittsburgh area…worth our 30 minute drive to buy!! And if you want to treat yourself to the BEST cinnamon roll - buy one and savor it!! Flavor is incredible and one roll can feed 2 people easily!! If they ever make the flat non-iced sugar sprinkled cinnamon rolls again- I will buy them all!! Those are absolute perfection in taste and texture..piece of Heaven!!”
“Held the cutest tea party at the patio of Cafe Du Jour. Paul and his staff were amazing! Food was FANTASTIC and priced accordingly, and the space was just perfect. Highly recommend having a date night or fun small event here.”
“Excellent restaurant! Can’t wait to return. Everyone is so welcoming and fantastic hosts. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, art, and creativity while enjoying really outstanding food. It was the perfect spot for my birthday tonight. ❤️”
“Great food, very friendly staff, lovely spot. I had the baby kale salad with a crabcake. Very easy to get a table at lunchtime on a weekday, plenty of room.Dietary restrictions: They had some nonalcoholic options! I got the ‘Not Quite Aperol Spritz’ which was great.”
“Stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday. Nice chill and cozy atmosphere.Had the pick two, a shredded chicken quesadilla and beef taco. Came with a side of rice and beans. Quick service, everything was hot, and decent portions. Hit the spot and was super satisfying.”
“I just had the Mojito and Transfusion Cocktails & they were so good. My husband liked that they had Local Craft Beers that he could enjoy also Such great service. We will definitely be back again.”
“Fabulous dinner, unique menu, we had Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, Guinness Roast Beef, Fish and Chips, and Salmon, then shared the Bread pudding, all was excellent!”
“I visited acacia for the first time and really loved their cocktails. I was afraid that without reservations, the wait would be too long. But even on a Saturday evening in Southside, we easily got a table at 8:30pm. I got The Architect which was spicy and refreshing. The service is amazing and they will make any drink off the menu as well. I asked for a Mai Tai and got the best one I've ever had. Definitely recommend this bar to go to with friends. The ambience is also easy-going and chill for catching up with friends or relaxing after a long day.”
“If I could leave a 9 star review, I would! Truly unique and artisanal cocktails, an inspired small plate menu, and presentation of food and drink that is reinventing and exceeding any expectations I ever could have dreamt up. Giuliana is a thorough, knowledgeable, and all around classy server.”
“I came here with my dad and got the chicken piccata, which was delicious! It was served with assorted vegetables which I actually liked versus the pasta. We will be back!”
“The food was really good. Everyone at our table Loved it. The wait staff was Spanish Speaking was a little rough for me to pick up everything but we got though it fine. I suggest giving this place a visit if you're in the area.”
“It was a very nice experience with a live band. 3 different bands the night I went, and the talent was pretty good here. They are seasoned bands that I've experienced. The staff is very attentive, and we lacked nothing but the end of the night. The food was delicious with attractive presentations. A unique drink menu leaving for something to explore. Very nice decor and ambiance. A charge to be seated at a table near the stage, which is perfect for date night or something more cozy. Though a bit tight, the clientele fit the atmosphere, so it doesn't feel as tight. For more solo nights, still a comfortable scene. As well bar seating is available that still has visibility to the stage if you don't want to be completely in the mix. Recommended experience!”
“We love this place. The food here is amazing and fits in the budget. They make fresh breads and pastries with unique combinations. Also, the staff and the ambience really makes you feel welcomed. Anytime in Pittsburgh, make sure to visit this restaurant and bakery.”
“Alta Via is definitely a favorite place of mine now. Tonight was my third time coming, and our server Eddie was absolutely amazing. He saved our night! (We had a horrible experience at another resturaunt, so we left and came to Alta Via in Market Square!) He was so attentive to our needs and really went above and beyond! Food is always delicious, drinks are amazing and the focaccia bread they bring out is to die for. Highly recommend! And ask for Eddie at the Market Square location!”
“The food here was quite a mix. They have some very German dishes, but they also know their audience and have quite a few American or Americanized selections. I ended up ordering a club sandwich on pretzel bread and it was hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. That said, the accompanying salad and soup were entirely mediocre. The restaurant was nearly empty so the service was good.”
“Loved the Strawberry Fields chicken salad, the chicken bacon Ranch Piadina, and the Pizookie Trio was so decadent! Dustin B.was our server. polite, professional, helpful and friendly. Ask for him when you stop in!”
“As others have said, the Fancy Veggie Burger was easily one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. It’s hard to describe the flavor but it was absolutely delicious. Also the gluten free bun was perfect and I’m glad they offer it as many places don’t provide these alternative bun options. Fries cooked in veggie oil were superb and fresh and the rhubarb cocktail was like a slightly boozie lemonade making the meal even more enjoyable.”
“Outstanding meal and fantastic service!I tried several different items that were suggested by the servers and all of them received high marks.Don't pass on this place! However, you may want to have a plan because of the price point... there's plenty of great items to choose from and you'll want to try a lot of them! Save room for dessert!!Enjoy!”
“Wife, daughter of 15 and I went. My wife andI used to really like this place back when we were grad students....about 25 years ago. High expectations, but it was better than I expected. It's a bit noisy, but great ambience, and the food was really good (and thankfully they are still making the chocolate bread pudding, which did not disappoint).”
“Excellent, fresh draught beers. The grapefruit IPA, in my view, is slightly better than the Cinderlands version (Gulpin). I also liked the stout. The barkeep was very chatty, inviting, and knowledgeable. I'm keen to return.”
“After several years, still a 4. I started with a drink at the bar and then moved on to a table. It was around 5 on a Saturday and the place was dead except for a wedding party killing a half hour at the bar. Too early, I guess. The bar service was fine. The table service was too, though he perhaps came off as a little less than genuine. In any case, I didn't really want for anything. My burger and fries were very good and I enjoyed the wine. The burrata app was weird (they minced up the burrata?), but it tasted good. Perhaps they didn't want to serve the whole ball? My main gripe was that menu presented was different from the one found on their website. This was due to a recent seasonable update, but come on folks-it's just a quick upload. I was originally disappointed that the burger that I'd come there for was not on the new menu. When we asked, though, he explained (in a sort of annoyed, ugh-I-have-to-explain-the-burger-thing-again tone) that the burger was just too popular. While they still serve it, it's not on the menu "to give customers a chance to notice the rest of the [more expensive] menu offerings". Mind you, this is a $27 burger and fries we are talking about here - not a super-cheap dish that's bringing in the riff-raff. They apparently plan to rebrand the burger as a secret menu item or something. Maybe it's me, but if your burger is outshining the rest of the menu to the point where you actively try to sell less of it, perhaps the rest of the menu is actually the issue. I, for one, rarely order a burger and love more fine dining food, but nothing else on this menu really stood out to me.”
“I recently visited Four Points Brewing and was thoroughly impressed! This hidden gem in Pittsburgh is a haven for craft beer lovers. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience delightful. They have an impressive selection of beers, with each offering its own unique and rich flavors that cater to both aficionados and those new to the craft beer scene.The brewery’s space is both cozy and trendy, perfect for a casual hangout with friends or a relaxing solo visit. What stood out to me was their commitment to quality and the passion for brewing that was evident in each pint. Four Points doesn’t just serve beer; they curate an experience that celebrates the craft.The location at 919 Western Avenue is convenient, and their digital presence, reflected in their sleek website, makes it easy to stay updated on their latest creations and events. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Four Points Brewing for a pint of their finest.”
“Came here late night after a photoshoot in the city. Treated the people I was with to a nice meal. I called to see if there was a wait. The person on the phone was very helpful and it was not busy, so we could get in. They greeted us very kindly and sat us upstairs. My only complaint is that the fans made it cold after coming in from rainy weather. I suggest coming here during (Happy Hour) as the food and drinks are very pricey, but understandable as the quality of the food was worth it. The house made tortillas were warm and delicious. The queso, salmon, and guacamole appetizers were delicious and filling. Pineapple Margarita hit the spot. All the tacos they have are superb. Very delicious late evening option if you want quality food.”
“The first time I went here I thought the beers weren't great, but the second time was a lot better. Excellent location, in any case; good place to chat with friends. The music is a tad loud, that said, but I guess it makes conversations more private for some who want to talk loud? Who knows.”
“Fantastic dinner, everything was delicious, service was great as always! The Colorado Green Chile Enchiladas are still my favorite!!Parking: Gravel lot, plenty of parking.”
“I visited Bar Botanico roughly 1 month ago. I entered the building and almost turned around out the door because it looked crowded. The host politely shouted out "we have room for two" so my partner and I returned back. He let us know he could get our drink order while we waited for a two top table to clear which he assured us would happen soon. My partner has severe peanut, tree nut and shellfish food allergies and the host asked us immediately about our allergies. While my partner got beer (allergy comfort zone), they ensured my drinks were made in a separate shaker and let him know that he could try them if he wanted since they made them separate and left out any allergens. This was a lovely place for someone with allergies and it was really unexpected and wonderful. I will definitely be back. Oh I forgot to add the drinks were delicious, I enjoyed watching the bartenders work. We did not eat here so I can't speak to the food but very happy with everything else we experienced.Dietary restrictions: Very allergy friendly/accommodating.”
“I went to Mike’s with my two children on a recommendation and the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. Would definitely go back next time I visit Pittsburgh.”
“Great place Food drinks and atmosphere was perfect Our waiter Christopher was amazing. He made the evening even better Christopher Christian Christine Highly recommend !!”
“Spoonwood is a great spot for just about any outing. Great selection of beer and a nice variety of food options. The restaurant has a nice open layout with outdoor seating available in the nice months. We've been here a few times and always seem to have friendly and personable servers which makes a nice evening. I'd rate the place higher but I do feel the prices are a bit too high.”
“This is a a great place to hang out with friends because everyone can pick which individual vendor they would like to order from. You can order items as you go, as well as drinks. It is a casual vibe with a fun atmosphere.”
“Food was excellent. The cauliflower dip was a big surprise. Frutte di mare, ricotta gnocchi, mushroom canelloni and the maialata were all very good. Our drinks were good, they took a little while to get to us on a night that wasn't too busy. All in all, a very good experience.”
“Was very disappointed in the meat lover's Flatbread. It tasted like tomato paste for the sauce and the meat has no flavor. It was plain. I suggest to anyone don't get it. My fiancée had thier Italian hoagie which he felt bad and gave me half of his sandwich to eat. The bartender did ask if I liked it. I did let him know about the pizza not being too good. He just looked and didn't say anything and walked away. I'll still come here. But that flat bread has to go. I don't even see how that one is on the menu! Everything else so far I tasted from there is good.”
“This street in Mount Washington has some pretty nice bars and The Summit is one of them!It's a great place to spend the end of the day after traveling on the incline and walking around in to see the views of the overlooks.”
“Wow! What a great spot! Everything everyone in our party has we loved! The meatballs are superb! The Rigatoni & Ragu and Spaghetti Pesto Alfredo...out of this world! Excellent cannoli! Please support this little gem of a place!”
“I had a fabulous lunch, fried zucchini, salad, scrod Romano , chicken parmigiana and penne pasta, Loved the sauce, owner is welcoming along with staff . Can’t wait to go back !!”
“Fabulous food, atmosphere and people! Love the staff and the locals who hang out there. What an amazing place. Ms G made my husband many special dishes to fit his diet while he was hospitalized. Such an amazing restaurant in so many aspects. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This old school Italian restaurant did not disappoint. We arrived before our reservation time and were seated immediately. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was delicious. Outstanding service as well. Run, don't walk to this wonderful restaurant.”
“Love, love, loved Legends Eatery! The atmosphere was so quaint, cozy and chill. The wait staff was fun and friendly. The food was simply amazing! Check out the pics! Definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, recommend!”
“The food and service was excellent. We enjoyed the sashimi plate as well as a couple of the bowls. It has a bar-like vibe, offering some inventive cocktails. It takes two flights of steep stairs to get there, so the crowd is inevitably younger and able.”
“Fun place! Neat to have a concert space up in the top floor and another stage downstairs with the main bar.I was satisfied with the customer service and treatment from staff.”
“My Wife and I have been to pretty much every high-end Steak restaurant in Pittsburgh and the Vandal consistently has the best Steak we have had. We had the Tomahawk Ribeye for two and it was extremely tender, succulent and tasty. I believe the Vandal's ability to consistently provide the best steak experience is due to the Sous Vide cooking of the steak initially, with a grill or sear before service. And don't forget about perfect twice fried frites! Everything was great as well as great service.”
“This might be some of the best food we've had in the area without having to go into the city. We had my husband's 40th birthday dinner here with about a dozen of us. Our group can be loud and obnoxious, but everything they did was great and exceeded our expectations! Gina, the owner, was so easy to get along with and accommodating when making the reservation. Amanda, our server, was so much fun and such a great sport! And the food was phenomenal. We cannot say enough positive things about this place. THANK YOU so much for a great evening!”
“From start to finish everything was superb. Seaweed salad was very tasty. The steak bao was delicious. Definitely some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The service was excellent as well! I had heard really amazing things prior to my own visit and my experience definitely lived up to the praise. I will definitely recommend and be back myself!! Well done!!”
“Nice vibe and good service and good food. Got two tacos and three drinks (2 sprites and one jarrona) for twenty bucks! You can’t even get a hershey bar for 20 dollars anymore. Amazing”
“Visiting family in the area, we were very impressed with Bella’s. I give the highest rating review for their service and quality. We loved the salads, eggplant parmigiana Chicken Marsala, Lou & Lisa”
“This place IS worth a visit, Of course, the mussels, I like traditional white wine and butter. Get the large, trust me:O) But I have had many of the things on their menu, and never disappointed. Flatbreads, Burgers ..etc. I am confident that you will not visit there and be unhappy with your order.”
“Food and service were amazing! Hostess, Michelle is incredible! She kept circling the restaurant for available seats and keeping us updated on the wait time until we were seated! We were able to eat and get to our event on time! Great experience!”
“Hey just wanted to say awesome place. My wife and i stopped in last night for the first time ever and was so pleased with the awesome service and the kindness of everyone and the really good beer thank you again can’t wait to come back”
“First impression was how amazing it smelled when we walked in, the food was ready even though we were a few minutes early. We had the lobster rangoon, chicken pad see-ew and chicken pineapple fried rice with a Thai milk tea. Everything was delicious spicy and so flavorful, the sauce for the rangoon was amazing and the milk tea is my daughter's new favorite! We live within walking distance and most definitely will be returning regularly but I assure you it's worth the drive!”
“I've spent 30 years in Los Angeles (and Mexico and around the world) enjoying amazing Mexican/Hispanic cuisine. We are finally getting some authentic and creative Hispanic food in the Burgh! Yesterday I tried Tepache Fox Chapel. The menu was very creative with authentic dishes from around the world. I tried the birria tacos. They were perfect! "A Jalisco staple. Quick-fried chipotle-corn tortilla stuffed with beef slow-marinated in chile de árbol and cinnamon, topped with raw onion, cilantro, melted queso Oaxaca. Served with lime and consomé broth for dipping." Yes they even came with console broth!!!!! The drink menu was also very creative! Great service and as we know a beautiful restaurant!”
“What can I say ,Just look at the menu The steak was the best I ever had, they go out of their way to serve u the an awesome meal, sides were just as good and desserts where right on. The drink are phenomenal if you got time stop in!!!!”
“Food is so good and reasonably priced. They have a menu of adventurous Chinese food and American Chinese food so you can come for the fun but bring your aunt that only eats fried rice.”
“Such a nice little spot for wine & cocktails! My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday evening and we were seated immediately. I tried the giggle water cocktail, which had gin, lemon, pear, cardamom, and prosecco. I really enjoyed it and found it to be the perfect balance of sweet and bubbly. They also serve food and some desserts but we did not try them this time. Pro tip: there are also a few parking spots across the street in a small lot reserved specifically for customers of allegheny wine mixer if you are having trouble finding parking on butler street. Overall a great spot for drinks in Lawrenceville!”
“6+IPAs on draft, with fun names, fantastic art work, on-site parking, & an outdoor patio area....sold! not only sold, but we added a * must-visit when creating our self-made Pittsburg beer tour I had no idea at the time they had won America's favorite brewery, & while it wouldn't necessarily claim a top spot in my favorites, I can agree their flavors & ambiances were fantastic beers ranging $7-8, ample variety, and friendly bartenders allowing for small sip samples to decide- we were very impressed with a number of their IPAs we selected Galaxy & Better One or Two Two- had samples of Etch, Gravel Grinder- all had very unique hazy flavors ranging levels of lightness, rich & creamy, crisp & juicy, or dank hops I really wish 1. they offered flights 2. they offered mix&match to-go packs (lucky Buddy's on Carson has a lot of their IPAs in their mix&match cooler, so we were able to pick up a good variety to bring home) plenty of inside & outside seating, food truck was on site at the time of our visit, big screens to watch games overall, excellent visit- would frequent if we lived close & would definitely have my fridge consistently stocked with Dancing Gnome beer”
“The Eagle restaurant is a must try in Pittsburgh. Everything we tried was phenomenal. Fried chicken, fries, spoonbread, shrimp grits, mash potatoes and the fried chicken sandwich. Awesome service, great selection of beer only draw back is they don't have a full bar. We will be back!”
“Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Every time I’ve come here while they weren’t busy I’ve had very pleasant conversations with the waiter. Their breakfast is terrific and so is their dinner. Their desserts are also amazing; best baclava and rice pudding in the city. Only negative thing I can say is the price point, but even then - you pay for the experience and the vibe (which is certainly worth the price).”
“Went there for private party upstairs. The food was very good. Our bartender, Alexa, was super! Also, it was nice to see that they recycle as so many places just send it all to the landfill.”
“Gordo's is great! Let me preface this review by saying I love Nashville Hot Chicken but outside of Nashville, TN is has been difficult to find a "hot" chicken that compares to what I've had in Tennessee. Some other places around the Burgh have Nashville Hot Chicken but the spice combinations don't work. At Gordo's the Nashville Hot Chicken Taco is so good with a perfect spice blend. It tastes like hot chicken tacos that I had at Pie Town Tacos in Nashville. Gordo's is the place in Pittsburgh to satisfy your hot chicken craving. Not to mention, their other menu items are delicious too. And they have great margs. My second favorite menu item is the Churoli- A churro and cannoli hybrid that rocks!”
“We just ate here for first time. Lamb chops were delicious. Also had Turkish Tea. The baklava was to die for. Absolutely recommend trying this. Nice variety on menu; good for gluten free and vegetarian. Cant wait to eat here again next time we are in town. It’s close to the Byham , Heinz and other theaters also. Grab a bite before the show!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and Gluten Free OptionsParking: It’s right next door to parking garage on 6th Street”
“is phenomenal. 5/5 10/10 100/100. Their custom cocktail menu is amazing and was made by their bartender Michael. their crab rangoons were the greatest I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t stop eating the duck pad Thai. Sam, our server was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. If you like Thai food, seriously, check this spot out.”
“Always have a good time here! The bar is clean. The bar food is good. And the drinks are delicious! Bartenders are all super friendly and I love when they have alexia events like the Meatball contest, etc. My only complaint... it can be kind of loud. Sound deafening materials on the ceiling should definitely be in the future. Otherwise, call me a regular!”
“We had the chips and olives it was plentiful and delicious. Great friendly service. Kind staff who serve the most delicious cocktails. I'm so excited I found this place. Plan to spend 10-15 a drink plus a generous tip as always.”
“Great location for dinner before Heinz Hall or Benedum Center shows. We had cocktails at the bar while waiting for our table. Service was prompt, professional and the cocktails were prepared perfectly. Our bar tab was seamlessly transferred to our table when we were seated. Appetizers: tuna tartar, bone marrow and lobster bisque. Entrees: Seared Scallops on a bed of crab risotto with crispy kale, Filet mignon with potatoes. Desserts: Coconut cake, creme brulee and chocolate mousse pot. Every item was prepared and served excellently. The presentation was lovely. Food taste and temperature was perfect. Portions were very nice and we all commented that we were able to finish our entire meal including appetizers and desserts without feeling overstuffed. I could eat the scallops and chocolate mousse dessert every day, they were outstanding. The staff is obviously top notch and well trained. The vibe is just very relaxing and enjoyable. We were able to easily carry on a conversation during our meal. I would highly recommend and we will definitely return.”
“Piccolo Forno is the BEST Italian food you can ever ask for and find in Lawrenceville!!! My husband and I had our first date here back in 2019, so we thought it would only be fitting to have our wedding reception here as well. We recently rented their private event space and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! From the very beginning, the communication with Nealey (the restaurant’s manager) was very thorough and she was always willing to answer any and all questions I had. She was able to accommodate our guests different dietary restrictions in addition to my husband’s celiac disease. Our waiters were Bri and Addison for the night and they were incredibly polite and professional. We were so stunned by how beautifully all of the food and our decorations were displayed! All of our guests (and us!) were more than content and enjoyed ourselves throughout the entire night. Thank you Nealy and Piccolo Forno staff for being a part of our special day and being so welcoming with our son! It’s not often you can find amazing food, wonderful service, and a kid friendly atmosphere at restaurants anymore.. but Piccolo Forno is where you can find all three! :)(photos by Carmen May Photography)”
“Our first experience at KIKU was highly memorable and a truly delightful evening! 5/5 stars all around! ⭐️ We made a reservation for 8 people which they easily accommodated, and the pacing of the many courses and dishes we all sampled was timely and thoughtful. We also requested a staff member who spoke Japanese because we are in a beginner’s language club trying to improve our Japanese and conversation skills. Yasuko B. was absolutely wonderful!! So patient, kind, and helpful in speaking with us and making it an extremely positive experience. She took great care of our table and made me feel welcome to try speaking in Japanese even though I am a beginner without a lot of confidence. I left feeling very inspired and motivated to continue seeking out experiences like this and hopefully meeting more kind people like Yasuko. All of the food was exceptional, and I especially loved the torikatsu, korokke, iidako, and beef tataki. The drink I ordered, Jade East, was hands down one of my favorite drinks I’ve ever tried. Also, the ube mochi was delicious! Overall, we loved everything about KIKU and we are already looking forward to our next visit. ありがとう ございました !”
“I am a huge fan of the Colombian Spot on the South Side. This new restaurant in Oakland has much of the same wonderful food, however it's more convenient and fast. There is a counter at the front where you order, and your food is ready quickly. We were in Oakland to attend a concert, so this was perfect for us. I had the Brisket Bowl, and it was quite delicious. I didn't care for all the disposable plates and utensils, so I wish there was an option for that when dining in. I like the larger dining space at the original Colombian Spot, but I accept that this location is more about convenience.”
“The food was great. The service was great. I did not mind the wait because in today’s world, you have to understand all restaurants are very shorthanded. No one seems to want to work.”
“Bosphorus has the tastiest lamb kebabs, as well as an interesting selection of different types of grilled lamb and chicken, served with a delicious salad, sauce and rice. There are great vegetarian options, too and the owner/server has a great memory for your preferences. Outdoor seating was pleasantly shaded, and indoor is of course also available.”
“I went there for the Taylor Swift brunch today and it was fantastic! Great food, music, and everything was so perfectly themed and well thought out. Everyone was so kind and I will definitely be coming back!!”
“This is such a great restaurant to visit. It's a step above any other chinese restaurants that I've been able to find. I love trying all of the different skewers. And its great that they bring the grill to your table.This is definitely my new favorite Asain restaurant in Pittsburgh hands down! Must come and try w friends! Service is great. Its fast, and friendly. Fun atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for the large size of the dinners! Can't wait to go back”

“The customer service here is absolutely terrible...the staff is completely unwelcoming and down right nasty . They just bark instructions at you if you want to sit down and eat.. Unfortunately they are the only pizza hut left that you can actually eat in ... The staff will obviously ruin this with their attitudes eventually... The food was delicious as expected but God fir bid they hire anyone pleasant...”
“As far as McDonald's go, this is one of the nicest. Consistent food quality, very pleasant employees. This is especially striking because other stores by the same franchise owner are just not as good.”
“Good Bangladeshi food option. One should try out the buffet. Gyro and chicken samosas are pretty good. Pocket friendly. The service is good and the staff are very polite and helpful. They also take catering orders, so if you plan to throw a Bangladeshi or an Indian party you can hire them.”
“Food is very tasty and prepared with loving hands. They are always ready with an encouraging word and prayer. Their commitment to the community is expressed in many ways including distributing free bag lunches when school is not in session and hosting special events.”
“The food is really good. It’s one of our local restaurants that I order takeout, but I also enjoy sitting down and enjoying a meal there. Service is amazing too!Kid-friendliness: The staff have always welcomed my family. My son is 2 years old, so those that have children know that going out to dinner can be hard at times. They’re very accommodating and friendly to children.”
“My boyfriend and I flew in from Portland Oregon for a Steelers game and we came here the first night. It was amazing owners are extremely friendly and accommodating their bartender was fast and she has an amazing attitude. Everyone working there is fantastic seriously. 100/100 recommend coming to this bar when you visit Pittsburgh. We will be back for sure”
“We often order delivery from here and are always impressed with the quality of the food, the quantity, and the speed of delivery. Tonight it was chicken parmigiana with angel hair and a side salad with fried zucchini as an appetizer for me, while my dad did the build-your-own-pasta with gnocchi and carbanara (bacon, mushroom cream) sauce and caesar salad. They said it would be an hour and it was only 30 minutes. I don't know how the fried zucchini travels and still arrives crispy, but they do it, and it's awesome, large slices, very generous, like a whole zucchini, with crisp, though not too thick, breading. It does not include a dip, only lemon wedges, but I have ranch dressing here. The chicken parmigiana was two large breasts, breaded, moist, and smothered in sauce and cheese. The side salads are generous with a thick slice of cucumber, grape tomato, red onion, and lettuce (the caesar - not real authentic but good - with croutons, black olives, grape tomatoes, lettuce, and parm cheese). We are never disappointed and always have leftovers. The one time something was wrong with our order, they promptly came back with what was missing and gave us a credit. Try the focaccia pizzas for a week's worth of great food! Highly recommended!!!”
“Our server was amazing (I can't remember her name). She is extremely courteous and pleasant and her perfume was great.. nothing overbearing.***PLEASE BRING BACK THE ZUCCHINI RIBBONS!!!!?”
“Time for a long overdue review! The best local restaurant and takeout or delivery. Been eating there all my life. The fish sandwiches are to die for! Great Italian dishes and comfort food.”
“I was pleasantly surprised as well as impressed with this Deli. Their corned beef is home made… not lunchmeat. Their roast beef is home made… not lunchmeat. The food is EXCELLENT. Their staff is always friendly. The atmosphere is good! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD TREASURE!”
“I came into Wilsons on 09/02/23. it was like visiting an old friend that I thought I would never see again. The ribs were good and that sauce needs to be put in a trophy case. The customers the staff the owner were all amazing I wish i didnt live a thousand miles away or id be their once a week to get my bbq fix. I thought it was amazing the owner gave me some sides when she heard how far I travelled to taste these ribs that were part of my childhood been eating wilsons for 40 plus years. I hope I can order a tshirt next time I come in probabbly in the spring so I can rep Wilson in the 407 down in Orlando. I highly recommend this spot cause its not just a rib place its part of Pittsburghs History. Best of luck”
“Came with friends on a Sunday to celebrate a colleague's first successful conference that she put together. I ordered the Fish & Chips...DELICIOUS. It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Jordan, our server was excellent; all the staff we encountered were friendly. I will definitely add this location to my list whenever I'm in the Oakland area.”
“They make a great pizza. This visit I had the cheesesteak hoagie. Hoagie has Mancini bread. Too much bread, not enough meat. I will stick to their pizza.This place is cash only. No indoor seating for eating.”
“The food was really good. Everyone at our table Loved it. The wait staff was Spanish Speaking was a little rough for me to pick up everything but we got though it fine. I suggest giving this place a visit if you're in the area.”
“My fiancé and I really enjoyed our dinner. The staff is so pleasant and welcoming. They have super cute decor and plating that really elevates the experience. The BYO Poke has as many options as you could ask for. The Ramen has options and if you want something additional, just ask! Nothing but positive vibes there if you are into Ramen and Poke! ?”

The hostess was very polite and gave us some history on the building as we walked to our table.Neil, the waiter we had was phenomenal. He was super attentive to us even though he was super busy with multiple large tables. The food was amazing and service was top notch.

In case I didn’t mention it …… Neil was AWESOME”
“Was our first time today we went out and took the kid's. It was absolutely amazing will definitely come again for sure. Worth every penny spent thats for sure. Also loved our waitress she was amazing”
“Wanted to give a huge shoutout to Argenis! He was phenomenal and delivered an amazing experience for first dining experience. early dinner is definitely the time to go!!!!!”
“Eddie Merlot was a favorable for us in business and personal dining. In last year the restaurant had a top down staff change so I think they are revamping so that is a challenging process. Our waiter Matt was outstanding and everything a steakhouse regular knows to want and expect from the experience. He was attentive, informed, sincere and timely. Kudos if they garner more staff like him. I would encourage corporate to invest in new carpeting. It looks bad. As a marketing person I would encourage them to find a way to drive socials groups in for some happy hours as it seemed peculiarly quiet.”
“Above average American Steakhouse. Service was so efficient. Rolls were hot and addictive even when we were holding back. Waghu beef meatballs were delicious. Wedge salad and Tomato / Burrata were embellished with attention to details. Steak was tender and cooked to perfection. Chilean sea bass was moist and succulent. Roasted chicken had crispy skin. It was tender and sauced nicely Butter Cake is a MUST. Great meal. Great wine list.”
“After a failed attempt at a neighboring establishment for restaurant week, the staff at Bakersfield really made us feel welcome. Our bartenders Z, and Madison, were attentive and knowledgeable. Hostesses Jess and Jade were also attentive and incredibly polite. Bakersfield has an amazing crew! Thank you!”
“It was excellent. We arrived early for our reservation but they were able to seat us. The food was truly fantastic. It took over an hour between when we ordered our food and when it showed up but our server, Amanda, was on top of it. She kept us in the loop and comped me a glass of wine for the delay. We'll definitely return the next time we are in Pittsburgh.”
“I’ve visited this place recently and it was my first time visiting this restaurant, I ordered their cheese sandwich and it was something different and was decent. I visited during weekday evening and it was quite crowded and not enough staff also the place was not that well kept but wasn’t too bad either. For the price of the food this place is okay.”
“Dinner tonight for 4 and everything was exceptional from service, cocktails and food from start to finish. Our server was Edward and I can not say enough about how wonderful he is. The place is beautiful and perfectly located on the first floor of the Steel Building on Grant. Utilized underground parking and was pleased to learn SULLIVAN’s validates parking. Will definitely return for Monday or Wednesday entertainment along with dinner and drinks. I give them 5 stars !!”
“Went here for my birthday because my boyfriend had been here before and loved it but I am disappointed with our experience today, the waiter seemed disassociated, we both ordered a steak as a entree and they looked like they were boiled in a pot of water and not cooked how we asked. We were supposed to both get potatoes for with our entrees and did not receive either one. And when we had addressed it with the manager she seemed unwilling to help. (One steak was supposed to be medium rare and the other is supposed to be rare)”
“This is a premier location in Pittsburgh for appreciating the city in all its visual glory. It is a first choice for a celebration. The ambiance and service lets you know that this is a special evening. The food is "feel good" traditional made special. From cocktails through dessert, it was an evening to remember.”
“Anpad our server was attentive, polite, and served us well on the outside patio. Combined the the coupons that are frequently offered, it was nice to have some comfort food in a relaxed setting.”

They get TEN STARS!!! Five ain’t enough!!”

I Did Mine In 2 Seconds...Easy To Do. She Stopped Atleast 5 Times To Check On Us Throughout The Time There..Refilling Drinks and Making Sure Food Was Satisfactory. Very Clean Place. TVs Everywhere. Definitely Will Go Back. Awesome Place”

“If you are going for the all you can eat sushi I think it is a fair deal! $27 and the menu is huge! Go hungry! The sushi was tasty and came pretty quickly. I would stick only to the sushi though! The appetizers tasted frozen and the noodle soup had no flavor. The only appetizer we liked was the sexy jalapeños but still just B grade! But the sushi was worth it! Tons of choices! The waiter was great and checked on us multiple times so we didn't feel bad about placing many orders! It is pretty crowded and noisy in there but a fun time!”
“Service was impeccable, they made great suggestions about how to dress my baked potato!Vegetarian options: Lots of choices to dress up my baked potato! Delicious!”
“I am pleasantly pleased with my visit to Nothing Bundt Cakes in North Hills! The smell that greeted me at the front door was tantalizing! The store's spring season decor was appealing to the eye! Store staff was friendly and personable. There was many options to select from the glass display. My children loved the free sample of the oreo and cream mini. Now, for the good part... the Bundt cake was delicious! So fresh and moist! I will definitely be a returning customer!”
“I came for their industry night and it was great. They have a variety of ginger beer (alcohol and non), cocktails, and local craft beer. The space is a modern and comfortable vibe. There is a small space with a fire pit to hang out outside as well. They did have a food truck while I was there this visit. Not sure if they will continue to have trucks-but there is definitely space for rotating food trucks. The ginger beers were great and their mule was super refreshing and delicious. I'm looking forward to them opening up full time soon.”
“I only wish this existed when I was going to college nearby at La Roche. Apparently a Crazy Mocha once existed in Passavant, but I never made my way to it unfortunately. I have, however, been to some other hospital coffee shops, like the Starbucks in Presby in Oakland. Not only is this Starbucks new, but it looks like some of the main hall at the Passavant entrance was redone too. There are plenty of tables and chairs out front so you can gaze out the window, and the large atrium seating area is nearby. Inside there is ample seating like any location, with an area off to the right to buy branded cups and mugs. Given that it's the holiday season and the special drinks were available I decided to try the white peppermint mocha. The cafe was not too busy for a weekday in the midafternoon, so I was waited on right away. Only a few hospital employees wondered in while I was sitting, as well as a few visitors. Nothing too unique about this location design wise, it's your typical dimly lit but nicely done spot. There is some interesting hospital history and displays father down the hall to explore, as well as the chapel and gift shop.”
“This place is one of...if not THE BEST restaurant in the area. Food was amazing with so many choices with such great textures and flavors melded together. Service here is impeccable and the ambiance is perfect. We will definitely be back for more if we get a reservation.”
