PNC Park is hands down one of the best ballparks in the country! Getting there is incredibly easy – it’s just a short walk from downtown Pittsburgh, and the area around the stadium is very walkable. Entry into the park was smooth and hassle-free, which made the whole experience even better. The ballpark itself is beautiful with plenty of concessions available throughout. As expected at a major league park, food and drinks are on the pricey side, but the variety of options makes it worth it. The views are absolutely spectacular – you get an amazing backdrop of downtown Pittsburgh and the river, which adds so much to the game-day atmosphere. Even if your seats aren’t the best, PNC Park has plenty of areas to move around and take in different perspectives of the game. From the outfield concourses to open standing areas, every angle seems to offer a great view. Overall, the combination of easy access, great amenities, and one-of-a-kind views make PNC Park a must-visit for any baseball fan or visitor to Pittsburgh.

The stadium has good history, atmosphere. Easy to walk to from nearby hotels. Very clean, staff friendly and accommodating. This was the only stadium that the usher wiped down my seat so far. We've been to several. Nice area, worth the trip. It was kind of confusing to walk around inside the stadium to check it out. Before we sat in our seats.

This is my favorite ball park. We travel the country just to see baseball stadiums. This is a great place. The view... the people. MLB has to do a better job with the food but the prices are below average and if you go when the gates open drinks were on happy hour prices. The ushers were great. This is the one ballpark that you want to sit higher up on the first base line so you have a great view. Normally I like to sit as close as I can to the field but the view is worth the sacrifice and the tickets are way cheaper. Take in as many games as you can while you're there.

Calling yourself the Best Ballpark in America takes some big ones. Being an SF Giants fan, I might have to disagree. I attended a Sunday afternoon game here, was a rather warm day, but my seats were soon in the shade and I was able to enjoy the rest of the game. The views are quite stunning, it’s a perfectly situated ballpark. My only complaint was that the concessions weren’t as special as the park.

The best baseball views in the country. The concourses are open and have lots of food and drinks available. Large bathrooms, easy to find seating. The exterior has lots of foor and bar options and the walk over the Clemente bridge makes for a great outing.

Best ballpark in the world with the best view of Pittsburgh! The employees are all very friendly- everyone at security, to the elevator operators or the vendors all make you feel immediately welcomed and seem very proud to work there. Be prepared to pay a lot for parking which is anywhere from $25-$40 on game day. The lots fill up quickly, so be prepared for a walk from the parking lots or garages surrounding the stadium. Food prices are also outrageous but there’s a lot of choices. I ordered the a slice of “world-famous” Caliente pizza which was huge and equivalent to two slices and cost $12 a slice. It was very good and also very greasy! All in all, if you’re a baseball fan, add this ballpark on your list to visit…you won’t be disappointed!

This is a beautiful park. It's clean and the staff were all friendly. Even the fans were kind and helpful. The surrounding area is nice and felt safe both before and after the game. There are a lot of great eateries and attractions around the stadium. The whole package makes for a great experience.

I cant say enough about this place. Every room is spectacular. There are such a wide variety of birds and some are very friendly. Each of the large rooms has a show twice a day. We saw each one and they were immersive and enjoyable, you got learn individual birds names and personalities, and the staff was very knowledgeable. We spent the entire day, went through each area twice, had lunch, and saw the separate show called Passport to the Parks (worth the extra $5). Free parking. Attached gift shop and eatery.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about The National Aviary. As a lifelong lover of the Aviary, my husband and I chose it as our wedding reception venue in February of 2025. From start to finish, the events team helped to make the entire planning process a breeze. We worked with multiple members of their team throughout the planning process, and they were all extremely helpful. Victoria's warmth, professionalism, and knowledge provided comfort and assurance throughout our planning process. We had Adrieanna the night of, and she worked with all of our vendors to make sure the night flowed perfectly! Having Atria’s as the Aviary’s exclusive caterer was incredible, as well. Natalie was extremely helpful and worked with us to create a perfectly customized food and drink menu. She took all of the guesswork out when it came to linens and tableware. All of the servers and bartenders were attentive, personable, and kept our guests happy all night. ALL of the Aviary and Atria’s staff helped to make the entire night smooth and unforgettable. Our guests were able to explore the habitats, meet a penguin (shout out to our boy, Wyatt!), and enjoy an amazing meal and bar in a beautiful facility. If you are looking for the best of both worlds when it comes to having a unique experience AND a stunning event space - the National Aviary is IT.

I was visiting Pittsburgh for a few days and walked here from the downtown area as it was a perfect fall day . I arrived on a weekday when it opened and spent a leisurely time walking around observing ,listening and soaking in the educational information. I suppose I was lucky that day because All the birds were out and about & wanted to to be seen and heard . Magnificent birds! Staff was professional and friendly when needed . Good place to spend a couple of hours learning and hanging out with the birds ( & a few others-like the sloth who was napping up in a tree . ) it was definitely worth my time and a great experience!

On our last day in Pittsburgh before catching our flight home, we had a little extra time to kill before heading to the airport. We decided to come to the national aviary and check it out. After parking on a nearby street, we made our way inside and easily purchased tickets at the front desk. They had a variety of other experiences that we could have upgraded to such as feeding certain birds or getting to interact with some birds in an intimate setting, but we just wanted to check out the space. We walked through all of the exhibits and enjoyed getting to learn so much about the different climates and habitats of the various birds. If you are looking for something to do in the downtown Pittsburgh area and are a bird lover, or just simply looking to learn a little bit more about our feathered friends, I would recommend coming to the national aviary.

Love this place. I hadn’t been in a while but it’s definitely a place to take your kids. They have added scheduled times to feed different birds eg; the penguins. I took lots of pictures and will definitely take my grandkids next time.

Awesome place to learn about birds of all kinds and sizes. Totally worth it to visit for families with young kids who want to see and learn about different birds. Their cafeteria is good and their gift shop is nice. It’s street parking for the most part but easy to find. Very close to other downtown attractions

On a day I needed to be alone and think this place filled me with joy and peace. A wonderful experience. I found solitude among the many admirers of this magical place. I spent hours playing “I spy…” identifying many creatures I had never seen before. This place may seem small but take your time to explore. I also found the cutest bag ever in the gift shop. The food was good too.

Great museum on the North Shore. This is a multi level (multi floors with an elevator) museum with some of Warhol's art you won't find anywhere else as it does not travel. We spent the best part of the day here. We love Andy Warhol's works and so this was truly a treat for us to see and learn so much more than we knew before. Definitely a must when visiting Pittsburgh.

Was able to visit for free as a museum employee, but I’d definitely have found it worth it for the price! Comprehensive collection and thoughtful layout + wall text. They also offer a few tours which are very worth the time, I had a great time learning from Cate about Andy’s early work. Super cool activities in the basement where you can print your own shirt with Andy’s designs which is such a unique keepsake

Visited Pittsburgh for a weekend to take in a Pirates game and check out the city. The Warhol museum is a must-visit. We spent 90 minutes, but could've stayed much longer if we had the time. Lots of floors covering different themes and eras. Some interactive pieces as well. And the kids area on the bottom floor was a blast for our 7 year old (and for us!)

It was a good place to visit if you like his art. The video on first floor is a must watch to get to understand him more. Then go through the floors like they recommend. Also if you go there for the weekend, The Factory is open during the afternoon so that is a highly recommended!!!

Seven Floors of fun. Start at the top and work your way down. My favorite for the emotion it evoked is the Jackie Kennedy series. It’s her face through the day that JFK was killed. My other was the face from Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. I love all the striking colors.

I was not that familiar with Warhols works other than his famous iconic works like Campbell soup and Monroe, so I was curious to see his other styles of art, especially his abstract series. The museum is 7 floors and there are a lot of interactive things to take in. My favorite floors were 4 and 2. My favorite pieces were the typewriter and the white gem stone. Im really into minimalist expressions right now. I only had about a 1.5 hour in the museum, but you could easily spend a few hours and really learn about his life. It had a really large gift shop and there was a coffee shop. Both are free to the public. I think after 5 on Fridays they have date night events and admission is half off. It's closed on Tuesdays right now. I was going to go on a Tuesday because my birthday was on a Tuesday. My most interesting take away was his involvement in music and the velvet underground. There was a biography about Nico that looked interesting. I may read it in the future. I don't know if I resonate with their music, but I found their sound interesting as well as the story of Nico and Andy Warhol. You can get a museum pass for 75 a year that lets you into four area museums which is a great artistic investment. The Warhol museum is one of the 4 museums included in the annual pass. You can also get a free day pass for 4 with the rad pass summer program if you have a library card and sign up on the rad website.

The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh is an absolute must-visit — a bold, immersive celebration of one of the most iconic and influential artists of the 20th century. Housed in a sprawling seven-floor space, the museum offers a deep and fascinating dive into Warhol’s life, art, and cultural impact, all right in his hometown. Every floor offers something unique. The Andy Warhol Museum isn’t just an art museum — it’s a cultural landmark that captures the spirit of innovation, rebellion, and creativity. A brilliant and unforgettable stop in Pittsburgh that’s worth every minute.

Great place to see the rivers from the Ohio River. There are no guardrails to protect you from falling into the rivers. Very windy, so securing your personals is a must. There are shaded walkways to enjoy some botanical insight and learn about the local vegetation. Great place to run, jog or bike. Security makes there rounds frequently. Nice open space to play it have a picnic, but can be very crowded. You can hear and see the stadium from the point.

It’s beautiful, I really like the botanical garden and the area next to the university. The park feels very relaxing. But right now there’s a lot of road construction, so GPS doesn’t really help. For tourists like us, it’s not very friendly—we’re just wandering around trying to find our way.

I was pretty disappointed that the fountain wasn't working on our visit(Monday, May 19). But, it's still an absolutely stunning area to soak up all the great views of Pittsburgh.

Point State Park is one of those rare places that captures the entire soul of a city. Where the three rivers meet, you can feel the energy of Pittsburgh — steel roots, modern skyline, and endless water reflections that look straight out of a postcard. Whether you’re catching the fountain mist on a summer evening, watching boats glide by, or taking in the golden bridges from every angle, it’s pure magic. The park is clean, peaceful, and perfectly blends urban life with nature’s calm. If you want to understand Pittsburgh, start here — the Point is the point.

Great walk to this park. Pretty amazing views and while going there you can go through the market or do the river walk. Both are amazing. Must do if you are in Pittsburgh.

This is a well maintained park that offers great walking trails and sites of historical importance. One can walk up to the end of the park, which is the point, and see forks of the Ohio where the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers converge. This area was contested by French, Indigenous, Pennsylvania, and Virginia that culminated in the actions that led to the Seven Year's War. The outline of Fort Duquesne and the Fort Pitt Museum offer much information for those who love the historic significance of this area. the pathways offer views through vegetation as well as of the rivers. I recommend running, jogging, and walking around 9:00 in the morning at this time of year. This is a must see destination for those in the Pittsburgh area.

Great views, historic location. Start (or conclusion) point for an epic bicycling adventure. Feels like the heart of Pittsburgh. Check it out!

If I can give 0 stars I would. Lettuce in salad was wilted. The Cook was eating the damn fries in front of me that that goes with my order.. no proper etiquette what so ever, ordered a slice of cake it was hard as hell smh…. Just straight trash throw the whole restaurant away

We ordered so much food when we were here and we're obsessed. Every single thing you can get at this restaurant is so good. There is so much flavor in every dish and side. I can not wait to go back again! If you like spicy or cajun food do not sleep on this place it will blow your mind.

This place is a gem! Try the glazed salmon on Fridays - it's amazing. The chicken & dumplings soup and shrimp & grits are scrumptious. When people are passionate about what they do and have the experience to back it up, great things (and food) happen. Great staff. Wonderful people. Family-owned and operated. Can't wait to come back for more.

Food was good except for the fried green tomatoes. You could tell they were frozen and then reheated. I sent them back. For the price of it all, you should get at least 2 pieces of catfish. The salmon was pretty good but could've been better with a little more flavor. The yams, greens and Mac and cheese were the best out of it all. The cornbread was like cake... perfect. I really enjoyed the artwork that was displayed throughout the restaurant. The employees... the 2 ladles were very helpful and customer service oriented.

Great experience and perfect atmosphere for my family of five . I highly recommend the chicken and waffles , it is cooked to perfection! The smothered wings were 3.5/5 , fried chicken 3.5/5 , mac and cheese 4/5 ( very creamy and good ) , chicken tenders 4.5/5 these were our favorite !! That waffle was made with love and extra butter , it was soft just like we like it definitely 5/5 ! Thank you Carmi for taking care of my family . Hope to see you in the future !

Stopped in for brunch and was amazed. I don’t see why more people weren’t dining in. Tried the shrimp and grits, and it was some of the best I’ve had. Cheesy goodness and a huge portion. Mouth is watering just thinking about it. Mac and cheese and catfish looked amazing. The only complaint was it seems it took the food a while to come out, but it was so worth the wait.

I was in the city this weekend & gave this spot a chance. I ordered: BBQ Pork Sandwich, 4 fried wings w/ Mac n cheese & seafood salad. Wife: smoked pork ribs w potatoe salad. Food was good, hit the spot! We didn’t have the pleasure of tasting the “potato salad or seafood salad” b/c the server forgot & I didn’t check my bag. I called to see if we could be accommodated for this error. A lady called the next day saying come get those two sides. That was very respectable service ;-) I would eat here again, but hopefully they get a bigger spot to dine in.

Highly recommended by a local. I concur. The experience was great. Our server did more than bring us food. She fed us information about the area as well as the unique sandwiches. I enjoyed eating my fries and coleslaw as part of my sandwich. The portions were huge. If you find yourself in Pittsburgh this was a great place to feed your mind as well as your body.

Our first food stop of the trip and it started on a high note! Adorable place, right in downtown. The drinks came first and they were HUGE with a little rubber duckies in them which made me just over the moon! We split the fish sandwich and onion rings which was more than enough for two people. The sandwich was incredible, Pittsburgh Style, with coleslaw slaw and fries, and the onion rings were also just the best. Not a huge place and it wasn't busy at the time we went but may get busy later. Staff was very sweet. Prices were great. We loved it here.

Whenever you’re in Pittsburgh, locals and even visitors will recommend Primanti Bros.’ almost famous sandwich. This location, nestled in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, is a small bar/restaurant with an outdoor seating area. It can quickly get packed, especially on game days. The sandwich we ordered was a hit. At first, you might think it’s a sandwich with fries and coleslaw inside? It’s a lot of carbs, but don’t worry, it’s all in good fun. The sandwich has a perfect balance of flavours, and the meat is up to your liking. The size is pretty generous, so I’m glad we only ordered one set and a side. Overall, I highly recommend Primanti Bros.’ sandwich whenever you’re in Pittsburgh.

Such a fantastic restaurant and bar, their sandwiches are out of this world I would recommend the Pastrami (see photos), and their cheesesteak loaded fries are also exceptionally good. I also had their chicken tenders and fries and they were incredible, came in a mountain and got a lot more than expecting. Really good prices too definitely not getting ripped off here at all. Always busy but a very good atmosphere, with TVs showing sports but always somewhere to sit. Staff were really kind, friendly and service is rapid. I like how you can see them cooking your food from the bar, I would certainly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to eat that's inexpensive and delicious in the heart of the city.

A classic Pittsburgh spot known for its signature sandwiches with fries and coleslaw inside. We tried the pastrami and mozzarella sandwich to go — unusual but interesting flavor. The place is lively with friendly staff, and the steady crowd shows the food is fresh. The only downside — very greasy, slippery floors.

Great to sit outside, and lovely staff. Great beer selection. The sandwich was solid, but wish the fries were hot and crispy. The combination of warm and cool, with the savory and tangy was still something worth talking about. Also such a good price for what you get!

This place completely took us by surprise. We met a guy from Pittsburgh that recommended us trying Primanti and we got there close to closing but they made our sandwiches to go with the best attitude ever, even tho it was almost closing time. I had The Capone and I had never had a sandwich THIS good, it was gigantic and so flavorful, would highly recommend.

Good meal! But far from a dining destination. Pittsburgh has a rich collection of venues and cuisines that make up its diverse food scene. EYV’s concept of an upscale, prefixed menu focusing on plants is welcomed among the likes of Apteka. Overall, EYV is doing a good job but has a ways to go before being ensconced as a “dining destination” in the City of Bridges. What this restaurant is doing well: their food! The kitchen, which is the engine of the restaurant, is what is right about this place. I wouldn’t say each dish my partner and I tried were flawless, but the flavors and concepts were great and there’s so much potential. Of note, the cabbage pastrami was really good. Tons of flavor from such a little wedge of cabbage! I don’t recommend the cocktails. Neither my partner nor I liked them. What this place needs to work on: their front of house guest experience. The experience was mixed to say the least. Our server was great - very personable, attentive, and knowledgeable. However, another server dropped silverware down the stairs, we heard cups or dishes get dropped upstairs in the bar area, and a completely different server kept trying to come by our table to talk which was odd as we were trying to enjoy a meal. The overall feel was clunky. It would be nice to see the restaurant share who their vendors are on their site and menus. They are putting out an intention of being “a community” but they don’t showcase any local vendors or farms. The stark contrast in experience between the food and guest experience makes me feel this restaurant isn’t sure if they are trying to be more of a fine dining experience or something more casual. The menus are prefixed, deposits take for reservations, and an intentionality in the dishes which tell a story to guests of being upscale. If this is true, then the guest experience in the dining room needs to match…and it doesn’t. If you’re in town and wanting a good vegetarian or vegan meal, I’d absolutely give this place a try!

We chose EYV for our wedding dinner, after getting married at the courthouse! Michael was extremely easy to communicate with during the entire process, and accommodated multiple food preferences. The atmosphere, service, food and drinks were beyond what we had hoped. Michael and the staff's attention to detail was evident from the moment we walked in to the last bite of our delicious dessert! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Pittsburgh area and for anyone wanting to host an intimate gathering with family and friends. This will be a meal we talk about for years to come!

I’ve been to EYV a couple of times now and always with omnivores, so you don’t have to be a lifelong vegetarian like me to appreciate this beautiful, creative, thoughtful and seriously hearty, vegetable-forward food. Their awards bear that out, including being named one of the 26 Best Restaurants by Pittsburgh Magazine this year. On this occasion I was treated to the Chef’s Counter tasting experience ($150). It was awesome and I would recommend it to anyone who loves food as a special occasion experience, or just a special treat. A recap of what we ate: 🥦 Welcome Snacks: Broccoli “chicharrons,” hummus fritters, crispy new potatoes with seaweed caviar 🥗 Farmer’s Salad with ranch mousse, tater tot and pistachio 🫑 Charred Shishito Panzanella 🌽 Charred Corn Pierogi 🌱 Summer Squash Roulade 🍅 Tomato Parmesan 🥬 Cabbage Pastrami 🍫 Chocolate PB Mouse: Banana bread, pickled grapes, banana “bacon” 🍋 Tomato-Lemon Curd: basil ice cream, candied focaccia, strawberry Many things on the menu are already GF, but those that aren’t can be made that way. You can add on a wine pairing to the tasting menu for $60. We also tried all five of the mocktails from their mocktail menu, which I really appreciated! My runaway favorite was So Juicy with rosemary, lime, pineapple and grapefruit. Second favorite was The One With The Blueberries In It (no really, that’s the name). My guest and I both really love beets but found the beet mocktail to be a bit too intensely like straight beet juice, so might recommend passing on that one unless that’s what you’re looking for. Everything was so delicious and beautifully presented. You will not go home hungry from this tasting experience, and I’m so thankful that a restaurant like this exists in Pittsburgh to show what a talented chef can do with plant-based ingredients.

Great food. Questionable Hospitality. You won’t find better vegetarian food in Pittsburgh. My wife and I have dined here several times. I hope this past weekend was an anomaly. EYV normally has a small menu. (6 items total for 2nd and 3rd course). Saturday night had to be busy; they were out of half of those items for our late seating reservation. My wife was fine choosing from the limited menu to meet the required Pre Fixe selections. I would have loved to order some of the items that were sold out to also eat the Pre Fixe meal, but I asked if I could order a la carte instead. My server checked with manager, and they refused to accommodate unless we sat in the upstairs bar area. Not a huge deal, but c’mon. We had a fine meal at the bar, but it was totally unnecessary. The 2-top we vacated remained empty until the restaurant closed. Great restaurant experiences are where wonderful food and great hospitality meet. EYV only delivered half the experience during my last visit.

Really tasty and unique experience. You won't miss the meat at all to be honest. The apps were great, the broccoli chips were my personal favorite. The dessert was one of the most unique things I have ever tasted.

As a very vocal meat eater (and equally vocal veggie hater) I wasn’t sure what to expect when coming here to celebrate my pescatarian partners birthday. Man we’re we insanely impressed. The food was so good, we were already discussing coming back before we even finished the first course. The chef really transformed simple vegetables into something elevated and rich. I honestly forgot there was no meat or fish in our meal - and that’s a big deal for a meat snob like me! 😂 We’re already planning to come back. Our only regret was not reserving for the larger tasting menu (we did the three courses).

Oh my God , the Chef here pours so much love and care into every preparation. Everything SO scrupulously delicious. It’s hard to even pick my favorite items because they all held an amazing flavor profile. How is this my first time here? Anytime I travel to Pittsburgh, I will without a doubt be dining here! All glories to your amazing creations Chef.

I thought the service was excellent, and the drinks were just as impressive. My favorite dishes were the mid plate Spinach Ravioli and the large plate Halibut—both were outstanding. The small plate carrots were tender and flavorful. The Cajun Shrimp Dip (small plate) was just okay, and I wouldn’t order it again. I also didn’t care for the flavor of the sauce on the Airline Chicken, so I can’t recommend that dish. One area for improvement is the patio—while pleasant, it lacked music, which made other tables’ conversations very easy to hear. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with several standout items.

This restaurant is not cheap, but boy is it worth it! My buddy and I had walked in the night before at 9:30pm and couldn't get a table since they close at 10, so we decided to go back earlier the next evening. It sure paid off! Our drinks were very well made, so 5-point for their mixology. I had a delicious and perfectly cooked-to-order flank steak, and hot fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert - best one I've ever had (although I had to order an extra scoop of ice cream to finish it up). Great service - quick and attentive. I wish I lived in Pittsburgh so I could come here more often.

So if you are familiar with my reviews, we are blessed to travel extensively to amazing places all over the world. Along the way, we are fortunate to dine in terrific properties. This weekend we are in Pittsburgh. We had a free evening and decided to take our son and his wife here for dinner. Nearly 3 hours later, we couldn’t have been happier with the fare, service, or hospitality. Terrific in every way. My bumper sticker for this restaurant is, ‘anything you can do, they can do better’. What I mean by that is if you think of common cuisine offerings like French Onion Soup, duck, carrots, crème brûlée…on and on…you have set ideas of how these dishes should be prepared. This chef puts a positive twist on everything we thought we knew about fairly common dishes. Amazing! Thoughtful! Delicious! The homemade pasta dish was unique and delicious. As was the duck, pork chop, romaine salad…everything. Wrap around that amazing service and genuine hospitality. If you are in Pittsburgh, you simply must eat here. Bravo Chef! Bravo!

One word: Divine Fig & Ash has everything, attentive staff, divine meals, and a wonderful atmosphere. I only wish I took a picture of the pork belly burnt ends as that stole the crown for the best dish I've had all year. Dishes in the photos are Bavetta Steak and Halibut, both exceptional.

Positive experience. The service was excellent. Food was overall great. My boyfriend's meatloaf was burnt on one side, bush was a bummer, but he still enjoyed most of it anyway. My risotto under the halibut was amazing. My cocktails were excellent.

Staff is amazing. Food left so much to be desired. I’m so upset. Pasta cooked al dente, wonderful but Shape was all weird for the type of “sauce”, made it hard to eat. Carrots overcooked, no crunch in site for a September carrot. We didn’t understand the meatloaf. Horseradish on the cream sauce overpowered the flavor of the meatloaf. It needed a bright flavor but the horseradish wasn’t the answer.

An incredible dining experience!! So reading reviews everyone raves about the carrots- and don’t get me wrong- they were great! But the shrimp pot?! Out of this world delicious 🤤the meatloaf was incredible and my mushroom pasta was very good as well. The mocktails were we so good, I asked for one to be made as a bartender recommendation and it was perfect. And we had this pumpkin pot desert that was honestly orgasmic. Like I don’t know how describe how good this dessert was 😭service was impeccable. What a beautiful date night experience. And I don’t know why everyone mentioned price points when this was a comparatively priced dinner say at red lobster or somewhere not as good.?! It was 130$ which was super reasonable for a well curated dinner. We’ve paid like 300$ for dinner other places. Anyways go here!!! It’s phenomenal!!! I can’t wait to check out all the other seasons!!!

Obviously a Pittsburgh classic, gotta visit at least once a year. The whole aesthetic of the park is excitement, and the potted flowers everywhere are beautiful. Always gotta stop to look at the gorgeous fountains. Everything seemed pretty good this year, safety wise. Saw security and medical quickly come for somebody who was overheated, while the ride operators let them sit and drink water. Very efficient and under control. My only complaints are 1) that souvenir cups are not sold at every restaurant in the park, and if you buy a soda in a regular cup, it does not come with a lid. That makes me pretty nervous in a large crowd of strangers. 2) The bathrooms are not as clean as they used to be. Had to pass up 3-4 stalks every time I went to pee because of mess, clogs, and stall doors that had no locks. Minor complaints, but worth noting with how the ticket price has raised lol. Please give us clean bathrooms.

I live about 2 and 1/2 hours away and I love going to Kennywood because there's a great sense of nostalgia even your first time going. I love the classic rides and the preservation that they have taken to keep these rides alive. Compared to other theme parks Kennywood seems very reasonably priced. The wait times are lower than some of the other ones and overall just a fun day. We'll definitely be going back.

Kennywood offers a really cool experience going through the park and seeing all of the different rides and vendors that they have. The rollercoasters are fun and we rode almost all of them when we went. The food at the cafe we went to was pretty good too. It is a great addition to Pittsburgh

Kennywood in Pittsburgh is a classic amusement park with a great mix of thrilling rides and nostalgic charm. It’s perfect for families, with exciting roller coasters like Phantom’s Revenge and fun attractions for kids too. The park is clean, and the food—especially the Potato Patch fries—is a must-try. Overall, a great place to spend the day full of fun and memories!

Park is well kept and most staff are friendly. Clearly over worked though. My main complaint is the ridiculous wait time for rides. Ended up having to purchased their speedy pass just to be able to get onto rides. Without it you’re not getting on rides because they're clearly prioritizing people who buy the passes. Which will be the down fall of the park no doubt.

An absolutely iconic theme park. Rich, rich history all around. From the three 1920s wooden coasters to the modern steel coasters- there’s something for everyone here to have fun. Don’t miss the Exterminator indoor coaster, the racer, the kangaroo ride, the whip, and the potato patch!!

On August 9th 2025 our Youth Ministry, Kingdom Kidz spent the day at Kennywood to end the summer. It was definitely a great time had by all ages young and old. Our 3 year old grandson was super excited to ride all the rides in kiddie land because last year he didn't to well. I was so proud of him for brave and facing his fears. Our son didn't like that there was no relation on how many people with fast passes were allowed to skip lunes on rides to make fair for those without one who are waiting in long lines.

The tour of the mansion definitely made history come alive. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and provided us with historical facts with such details that I felt like we traveled back in time and really gave me a deepened appreciation of what I am looking at. Also the car and carriage museum is free! Take the time to read the signs! There is also an old classic car you can sit and take pictures in. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we visited. The grounds itself is free and beautiful. Definitely put this on your list and plan for few hours here!

Very large. Many different trails. Quiet and peaceful. Has public bathrooms. It’s very clean also. I had a great experience. Also had picnic benches.

Lots of easy walking/running trails. Very pet friendly and fun areas along the way for kids.

Huge, beautiful park amidst a big city. The park is well maintained and offers a playground, bathrooms and hiking trails.

Original Blue Slide park and off leash dog park. A great place to hike and watch the construction on the squirrel hill bridge

I love Frick Park. Winding trails, beautiful raised wooden walkways, conservation efforts. Hawks, owls, and so many other birds.! Wide variety of trees and wild, growing herbs, and other greenery. Some of the paths are hard some of the paths are easy. You can pick your path for the day. I’m so grateful for fRick Park.

A most incredible way to experience nature, enjoy outdoor-active things such as walks/ hikes, mountain biking, trail running, incredible birding, the Frick Museum and so much more without even realizing you're within city limits. If you're in Pittsburgh, you owe it to yourself to come and enjoy the best city park in the nation!

Amazing park, everything is within walkable distance even though it looks like it's a huge park but once you're there, you would love to explore. Didn't find much elevation either. Definitely a must visit. Parking - park your car either across on Schenley Drive opposite Phipps Botanical garden (better location) OR across Anderson Playground. Some of the trails are not that great, so bring your most comfy shoes if going to trails. There are lots of benches to sit on near the fountain as well as near Phipps. There is an American restaurant called "The Porch" as well as an Ice cream/milkshake place and Omar's halal grill near the Catherdral of Learning.

Great hiking spot in the middle of the city! Schenley Park has beautiful trails, peaceful nature, and nice views. Easy to access from Pitt, and perfect for a walk, jog, or just relaxing outdoors. Highly recommend if you’re in Pittsburgh!

Very nicely wooded! I came through for a trail run and was amazed by the intricacy of the routes within this entire park. Great for a scenic walk or a long run. There's a nice viewpoint on a large hill near the observatory and university campus!

Excellent staff, variety of plants, lots of activities for kids. Lovely. Just go when it's cooler weather!

New things to see. If you never been there it can be a little confusing. But lots of trails and nature to see...

Great park! Well maintained fields and courts, perfect for soccer, pickleball and more. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming. A great place to play, relax, and enjoy the day. Highly recommend!

Lovely place to spend calm and relaxing time with pretty views

Absolutely gross. Sitting in the back of the bar felt like I was dropped into a fly convention. SO many FLIES buzzing around I couldn’t even enjoy my drink. On top of that, my server barely checked in and gave the bare minimum level of service. Disappointing all around.

As a tiki fan this spot was dope to check out. Great food options and a great variety of tiki beverages and even some n/a options. The mugs are sick and the swizzles are so fun, definitely check it out!

This place was amazing! Wanted to go for my birthday and couldn't have enjoyed it more. The food is a little pricey but is very good and all the extra stuff like the cups and mugs are so unique and cute! The atmosphere was amazing and service was great! And they offer great mocktails which is rare but awesome! Would def go again!

Be warned, Hidden Harbor will ruin most other Tiki bars for you! Seriously, Pittsburgh is lucky to have this "mender of broken dreams." The drinks may be expensive, but they're expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and tons of rums. I highly recommend a Mai Tai with their house-made orgeat. Atmosphere and food are also incredible. Pro Tip: If it's your birthday, don't be shy about mentioning it. You'll get an off-menu surprise!

Amazing drinks and atmosphere! We came after dinner with a group of friends to get a drink. The cocktails all come with very special presentation, the menu shows which glass they come with and how strong they are and I even got the small details as a small plastic lizard on my drink !! Staff were super nice and although the place was busy we could get a seat for 6 people. Drinks are in a pricey side ( think of on average $16 ) but in my opinion totally worth the nice presentation and lively vibe ! Great place for a date also as you can for sure have a conversation and it’s not too loud. The only reason I give 4 ( and only my personal opinion) is adding automatically 20% gratuity to the bills. While I almost always always (!) pay the 20% regardless, I think customers should have the choice to pay less if they found the service not good, or pay a little less then 20% based on their situation. Overall, very cool place and I can’t wait to visit again and try more drinks and foods also this time :)

Awesome bar! As a tiki enthusiast, I found that the drinks are spectacular: well balanced and varied. The Ride or Die was phenomenal. Garnishes and mugs on point. In addition to delightful alcoholic options, they had a few NA options as well; all three that we tried were amazing. We grabbed a few food items and they were delicious as well. All the servers were so nice, environment was clean and pleasant. Just overall a lovely evening; wish I lived closer! (Visited while traveling out of town)

I saw this place on a friend's post and had to try for myself! Excellent decision - the drinks were fun and the atmosphere elevated the whole experience. It's not cheap, but the place delivers for what you pay. Did not try any food so can't comment on that, but definitely a spot to visit if you like fancy cocktails with creative visuals.

This was my first time eating African food, and I was extremely excited. I had been hearing about this restaurant for a while, and wanted to try it. It’s located in the popular murray avenue in Squirrel hill, surrounded by many other restaurants. I’ll cover the food later, but I have to begin by saying that the service was dismal. When we went for lunch around noon, there was nobody when we entered the restaurant and we had to shout to see if anybody was around to help us get seated. Our server was the least responsive server I have ever encountered, and it almost looked like he was unhappy to be there. No smiles, no greetings. Anyway, we sat down and ordered our food. Since we were trying this for the very first time, we wanted to be safe and went with safer options as suggested by our friend. When he returned back with the food, there were no plates. We had to explicitly ask for plates, and then he returned with just one plate for both of us, and we had to ask for another one. The whole thing was bizarre. When we got done with food, we then had to shout again to see if he would bring our check. I don’t know if they’re understaffed, but this is not how you treat a customers specially in a dine in setting. The only saving grace was towards the end of the meal when a gentleman who I assume to be, the owner came and had conversation with us about the food and recommended us some food to try the next time. He seemed really nice and was welcoming. He also did not charges any tip, which I’m not sure, is the norm at that restaurant or why he did that. Now coming to the food itself, it was pretty tasty. We had the jollof rice which was pretty flavourful. He also had the efiroro which seem to be a type of spinach stew. Honestly, that was super unique, and I have never tasted anything like it. Again, I’m not in a position to tell if it was authentic, but it was still quite tasty, nevertheless. I guess African food is an acquired taste and I guess it’ll take me a while to get used to all the flavours. Overall, I can recommend this place if you want to try new cuisine but I would avoid dine in and just to take out.

The food was okay, tore mine and my friends stomachs up though, so it probably wasn’t made to order … and our waiter brought out dirty glasses, I’ll add pictures, of water with no ice. Then another table comes in they get completely different glasses that were clean I’ll add the pictures for proof, and they had ice in them. I will say he gave us samples of the food so we could choose what we wanted first but that was unacceptable and the bathroom was very dirty…

I recently had a disappointing experience with this African restaurant that left much to be disgusted. To start, the food was excessively greasy—imagine eating fried rice that tasted like a concoction of mismatched ingredients thrown together with no flavor balance. The meat portions were unbelievably small, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. Worse still, the wait time was horrendous; I waited for what felt like an eternity, only to receive food that looked like leftovers from the day before. To add to the frustration, when I ordered online, they didn’t even bother to call and inform me of changes to my order. It was a complete surprise when I received my order was an insult.. My experience here made me long for the African restaurants in (Africana restaurant)Queens,New York, where in less than five minutes, you’d have your food, and it would be fresh, flavorful, and served with care. Sadly, this place was the total opposite, and I can’t see myself returning anytime soon.the worst African restaurant ever in Pittsburgh. Just go there and waste your money

Dirty, ordered about $30 worth of food, got charged $70 There's a lot of things to complain about but I'll focus on the two biggest problems, the dirtiness and overcharging. We were seated at a booth that still had napkins and straw covers from a previous customer, along with some disgustingly dirty menus. I thought the waiter/owner would offer to clean it up quickly, but he started bringing out what seemed to be samples of food (the first were tiny dishes of stews) and setting them on top of the mess (see picture), even before we had a chance to examine the menu and order. Which leads to the big problem- he kept bringing little plates of food out and insisted we try them and tell him what we thought- I thought this was leading to a suggestion of what we should order, but it turns out he charged us for all these things that we didn't order! Fufu, $5.99, Dundu $14.99 and Dodo Stir Fry $12.99. (We did order Jollof with "2 [rock hard dried out] pieces" of beef, and Eforiro). That brought our total bill for lunch up to $70! When I complained to him that we didn't order these things, he said "I had to bring them out because she [pointing to my wife] is vegetarian", which makes no sense, since we told him when we sat down that she was probably going to order the vegetable stew. He refused to take them off the bill. The Dundu (fried plantain) and Dodo (fried yams) stir fry were nothing special by the way. No seasoning and kind of cold like they had come out of the fryer a while ago. (That's the $12.99 Dodo stir fry in the photo, sitting on top of the dirty menus).

So I went there I asked for oxtails and rice. He said the rice was not done yet so I said can you substitute the white rice for jollof rice so he just gives me Joel off rice and two pieces of beef so I had to return my order because I asked for oxtails and rice And this is what I get

When I tell you my oxtail was so tough o think they cooked it for less than 5 minutes they literally don’t care I can’t even eat this tough oxtail they didn’t care to trim to fat off and you literally only get 3 pieces lol this is literally the worst African food in the world lol the rice is piled high but I get 3 oxtail? The gravy looks weird to and don’t order the Suya they only give you a few pieces of chopped up steak ! I like to support my people but yall have to do better I will never be back i literally neverrrr got served hard oxtail it’s super easy how did they mess it up? They literally can care less

Decent food. I've only tried a few African spots in Pittsburgh, and this has been on the less delicious side. Still, it was very decent food. And, many of the food items were unique, so it's nice to have spots like this in the area. I ordered the beef meat pie, puff puff (3 of them), and akara bean 'cake.' My favorite of the items were the delicious puff puffs. If you want a nice, chewy, donut-like snack, then this is the food for you. It was not too oily and very cheap, at a dollar for each of the dough balls. The inside as fluffy. Not too flavorful. I would have enjoyed it more with a dusting of sugar; then, it would serve as a nice dessert. The Akara was interesting. It seemed to have little bits of vegetables included within this bean cake. I was surprised by the level of spice and flavor included in this small patty. It was on the greasier side as well, but also quite inexpensive at just $1.50. Finally, the meat pie was not very good. It was thick in breading and extremely dry. Not just the breading was dry, but the meat itself was as well. It was not very flavorful but did have a little bit of vegetables included as well. Small portion size for the price. All in all, I was not the biggest fan of the food. The portions were quite food and dry, and the flavors were not particularly good. I have not tried many African foods, but there are much better places in Pittsburgh. Definitely try Fabs, it's got similar food but much better quality.

First time visiting Casbah but it came recommended by some friends. Took my partner here for a celebratory dinner and it didn’t disappoint. We sat on the covered patio which was beautiful. Our server was extremely attentive and incredibly knowledgeable. She even knew all the farms where the food was sourced locally! The artichoke was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The chicken was the same, cooked perfectly and had great flavor. There isn’t anything about this place other meals that’s trendy or edgy, but you will get wholesome, perfectly cooked food with a ton of flavor and an intention to give people a top notch dining experience. I will definitely be back and will recommend to others.

Visited for brunch today and it was lovely. They do a prix fixe menu at brunch for $38 that includes a brunch cocktail, a first course, and an entree. I had the seasonal pear mimosa that was delicious. For first course, we shared the beet salad and the smoked salmon. Salad was tasty and loaded with beets. The smoked salmon was a generous portion topped with all the accouterments and a potato cake, which could’ve been a bit more seasoned. For entrees, we had the braised lamb and the ricotta cavatelli, both tasty! I also had a house G&T which they are amaro to, would order again.

Decided to celebrate our 11th anniversary at a place we hadn't been before - Casbah. We were seated downstairs which was cozy and intimate. Our server was very attentive and the pace of the meal was perfect. We had a hard time narrowing down our food choices, but I think we made some excellent picks. Started off with the crispy calamari and rock shrimp, roasted beet salad, and grilled artichokes. For our mains, my husband ordered the red pepper casereccia with scallops while I opted for the Scottish salmon with lentils and green beans. Everything was so delicious, and we managed to eat it all! Despite being completely full from our meal, our server brought us salted caramels which was a nice surprise. Thanks for a wonderful evening, Casbah!

It's got some aspects right for a restaurant at this price range, like the complimentary sourdough bread and fresh butter was really good. Main course of long Island Duck lookes great from all the reviews, but I felt it could have been executed better. Duck leg was cooked well and easily falling from the bone, but taste wise it's not very rich. The small cherries were bland, if they were more tart it could have balanced the dish much better. Duck breast was medium rare which I like, however the fat on the skin was barely rendered and not that crispy. The dish came with minimal sauce and was quite dry until I asked for extra sauce. Gnocchi just didn't taste like real ones at all, it tasted nothing like any Gnocchi I've had at all Italian restaurants I've been in my life. I left most of them... A big stressful point for me at the end was they don't accept contactless payment, physical card only... I only had my phone with me and I felt so embarrassed. However they let me called back with card numbers to pay after so it's sorted, but it was a pretty unfortunate end to an evening.

Another incredible meal at Casbah. Every dish was executed beautifully, and the flavors were spot on. We started with the Crispy Calamari and Rock Shrimp—light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The mix of textures from the calamari and shrimp kept each bite interesting, and the creamy sauce underneath added a rich, tangy contrast. For my entrée, I went with the Long Island Duck, and it was outstanding. The duck breast was perfectly medium-rare with a beautiful sear, and the confit leg was rich and fall-off-the-bone tender. Paired with fresh greens and gnocchi, it struck a perfect balance of hearty and fresh. Across the table, my fiance ordered the Saffron Pappardelle and it was equally impressive. The house-made pasta was tender yet toothsome, and the saffron brought a subtle earthiness to the dish. The additions of seafood, fresh herbs, and a delicate sauce tied everything together for a dish that was rich without being heavy. Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance was the perfect blend of upscale yet relaxed.

I’m a frequent of this place and every single time everything is wonderful. I decided to leave a review today because the girl at the bar, Lexi, makes me love Casbah even more! She has always been so kind to me and talking to her is just therapeutic. I will always go straight to the bar if she is there. Please treat and pay her well. I will come here more.

After reading other reviews, decided to try Casbah. You can see why they are so successful. Excellent Mediterranean menu. Both of our dinners were great. So tasty! I had their famous lamb shank. Bigger than expected, perfectly prepared. The roasted artichokes are definitely worth trying. Good wine pairings, but limited beer selections. Both meals were so flavorful. Casbah has it's own parking lot for guests; street parking is difficult at best. We felt a little rushed at the start of our meal, but our server adjusted to allow us to linger and enjoy the evening. The front seating area was packed; noisy. But don't let that stop you - after all, you're there to eat their fantastic food!

If you end up spending over 5 hours on your first visit here, you know it was a good time. What i loved most was how well the enclosures were made in natural environments. It was like walking through nature while stopping to view a variety of animals. Kyle really enjoyed everything as well. The layout is really well thought out. A couple minor drawbacks were highly congested areas that just didn't have much viewing area for the crowd mass. It was busy and very congested in a few areas. We also waited 30 minutes for a pizza order. Otherwise overall great visit, well worth the price of admission.

Staff is nice. So much is closed or under construction. This is pretty small for what they charge. The now have reciprocity with other zoos. A few years ago the lost their accreditation. Tigers, lions, elephants are there right at the beginning. The aquarium is nice but not amazing.

It was my first time there. I have been hearing a lot about this place from my daughter who has been living out here for many years. She always wanted to get me there and she and her fiance got me there. I absolutely loved it. We spent the entire day there just immersed in the fish and animals. Even though there was construction going on, it was still a very special day. I learned some interesting things about some of the animals which was a true benefit. The place is exciting, busy and well worth going.

Great size zoo with lots of animals to see, as well as kid-friendly things like play areas. It is quite hilly (it is Pittsburgh after all!) but scenic and a good way to spend a family day. The food is ok, actually has more options than many zoos I've been to. We ate at the Jambo Grill. There was a bit of a wait for food, but it was tasty enough and we LOVED sitting outside and watching the giraffe and zebras as we ate.

Very easily walkable zoo, absolutely beautiful and not too huge. We've seen it all in 2 hours. The highlights for us were sea otters, the cloud leopard and everything at the aquarium. No long lines at the entrance, you can buy tickets online as well.

I felt so disappointed with my recent and first time visiting the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium last Saturday. There was an event going on, "Zoo Boo" or something like that, so obviously there were lots of people and kids. There was some parts under construction, too. I wish there were more staff wandering around as it looked chaotic with the people walking everywhere. There were less animals that were out and it makes me really sad. I hope they are all okay though. Location wise, it was super crowded in the parking area that some people even parked in the grassy field. There weren't a lot of signs and directions so it can be a little disorienting navigating the whole zoo. Now I don't know if it were just the time of the year, but there weren't a lot of animals around and outside when we visited. Shocking to realize there were no bears in sight at all. Nice to see some tigers, lions, cheetahs and others, though. The souvenir shops were nice and well stocked. Just a bit pricey. They sell animal stuffed toys that are not even in this zoo. 🥲 Anyway, I'd still come back here im the future, and enjoy the area. Hopefully I will be able to change this review and give it 5 stars.

It's a really nice zoo. I would have given it more stars but quite a few exhibits were closed. Still had to pay full price and they closed at 4pm, which made it feel like you had to rush through the zoo.

This was my husband's pick for dinner tonight. He's a big beer expert, having tasted over 1,200 different beers in about 9 countries, so he wanted to sample the beers here. First impression, the space is fantastic and I love the restoration. Service was also very good! From the beer expert - the porter was not as smooth and velvety as he expected and because of the high alcohol content, the flavour was off. The IPA got good marks though. The food was good, but not great. Overall a decent place to come especially for the atmosphere.

This was our very last stop of our trip and was unexpected. I got a last minute text from a friend saying we couldnt miss this and I agree! The building is stunning. They did a wonderful job maintaining the gorgeous architecture but turning into something more positive and useful. The food was some of the best we had on the trip. Ill dream about that beer cheese. We had the Mexicali Blues and it was light snd fabulous. Waitstaff was wonderful. Theres a gift shop. Prices are great.

I was excited to try out this restaurant based on it use to be a church. The fact that they saved a church from being torn down by turning into a restaurant was a great idea. There were many items that caught my attention. I ordered prickly pear iced tea with the Jagerschnitzel. I should’ve ordered the vegan spaghetti. I was not completely happy with my choice. The cook was very heavy with the salt on the potatoes, I don’t like a lot of salt. The Jagerschnitzel did not have consistency. The first couple bites was really good tasting with the mushroom sauce. After the first few bites, it tasted like regular gravy on top and was not as good. The waitress was nice.

Amazing brewery inside a former church! It's perfectly repurposed and so much fun. Service is excellent, food is superb (French onion soup is a must have!) and the beer, oh my, so great. We ended up buying a big can of the Oktoberfest beer. The can itself makes a wonderful souvenir.

Amazing venue in this old deconsecrated Catholic Church. Beer is very good but selection is a little light. Oktoberfest beer is top notch. That have 2 liter to go cans that are a great deal. Food is very good and what sets this place apart from other microbrews even more so than the beer.

Great German Inspired cuisine and brews for Oktoberfest. The Bavarian Wings were a fantastic appetizer and highly recommend.... The hint of mustard kicks them up a notch. Forewarned they are messy!!! Definitely was unexpected little find for us and had to check out a brewery in a church. 'Cause when else are you going to be able to drink in a church and not get in trouble for it?!?!?

Lafty of 3, ordered: shrimp grits, buffalo chicken perogie saute, and Jagerschnitzel. And beer of course! Oh also malt bread pudding! Grits was a bit on the saltier side but was good w beer. Perogies were flavorful but our favorite was the jagerschnitzel. The atmosphere is unique and service was okay, bit slow - i guess the waitor had a lot of space to cover. It's pricy compared to other local places but a must go to experience something unique in Pittsburgh! =)

Amazing German cuisine and atmosphere. Well worth stopping in more than once. The food is outstanding, the beer is plentiful and the music was great! I absolutely loved the experience. I love the large tables that are side by side throughout. They also offer outdoor seating as well for some great views. The waitress and staff dressed in authentic German clothing which just adds to the experience! Have a pretzel 🥨 and some 🍺… sit back, relax and enjoy soaking in the atmosphere! Thank you so much!

Fantastic place. Really we were in Pins Mechanical. This is a really fun arcade with retro video games, large slides to go down, a small bowling area, bars, TV's kids games and more. There are lots of interesting restaurants around the streets as well as Jeni's ice-cream next door. A small grassy park dots the outdoors by the Cheesecake factory outdoor pizza places and Mexican food trucks can be found there as well. Antique car shows as well as summer concerts are common in the summer.

Enjoyed the Neighborhood Flea market at SouthSide Works.. Great vendors, artists, craftsmen, and bakers! Loved the unique gifts at @queenoffronds!

Great area! From amazing NY style pizza to authentic German food and beer you will be satisfied dining here. The shopping is excellent as well! REI and certain days where they set up a street fair. You can even play pinball and bowl.

SouthSide Works is a relaxed riverfront spot in Pittsburgh with a mix of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and a few stores around an open square. It’s easy to walk, with wide sidewalks, plenty of outdoor seating, and several parking garages nearby. On weekends you’ll often find pop-ups, small markets, or live music; on weekdays it’s calmer and good for a casual lunch or study break. The cinema and patios make it an easy meet-up place for friends or a low-key date night. The Three Rivers Heritage Trail runs right by the river, so you can bike or walk along the water and cross the Hot Metal Bridge for great views. It’s a short drive from CMU and Oakland, and there are bus stops close by. Plan it for errands, dinner after lab, or a relaxed evening outside: simple, walkable, and friendly.

SouthSide Works contains office spaces, a town square, restaurants, retail stores, a sports court, a dog park, riverfront parks and trails, and parking. I visit this area mostly for the restaurants. The parking garages can have high fees, but I have had no problems with any of the businesses.

I've heard of this place several times but never came here until very recently. Seems to be very nice, I'm curious if they have the same problems that they get up on Carson Street. Doesn't appear that way. There are a few peace and spots down here that I would like to check out. Follow for more....

Absolutely fantastical and a must see! It's a free (donations accepted!) walk through of a man's incredibly colorful life's work. We loved it and can't wait to go back. What a unique experience!

I loved on the Northside for over 20 years and always passed by Randyland but never went in. I always would say that I would because I’m an artist and love the colors. I got s chance to go this summer with s client I work with and it was awesome. The vibrant colors and the unique way that things have been put together make this place so nostalgic.

Yeah. Every interesting place. My favorite was the two "one way" street signs outside. I also guess my assumption of art is very different from Randy's. This place does bring much needed color to a colorless street. It was an entertaining visit.

If you have not been here, and you're anywhere near Pittsburgh, it's a must stop! This place is amazing! Randy is an unbelievable artist! Too much to describe except plan yourself at least 30 minutes to see it all! So amazing, you just have to go!! Tons More pics and info on my Fb page ~ Jo Anne Tingle

This place was incredible! So cute and free. It’s small so it’s not big or too interactive but it’s definitely a must when in the area. I got the chance to meet Randy very briefly and he was so friendly and kind!

To see a collection of quirky art, go to Randyland. To be inspired, visit Randyland. After visiting the nearby Mattress Factory, my family of three walked to Randyland, a house bakyard filled with toys, sculptures, art, and more. If you're lucky, Randy himself will be there and he loves greeting every guest. Randy started collecting art to help beautiful the neighborhood years ago. It's turned into an outdoor gallery visited by many and inspired an entire neighborhood to reuse and beautify where you live. Our daughter LOVED the toy section and played for an hour in the sand and finding all the different toys scattered throughout. Randyland is a must-visit when in Pittsburgh! Admission is free.

A fun little touristy stop that takes about 30 minutes to explore. You can really appreciate the artist’s creativity. Observed a black-and-white mindset in such a colorful, thought-provoking way.

plethora of gluten free options. i had gf penne with vodka sauce and added chicken. would definitely return. they weren’t able to seat us in the restaurant but the “lounge” was just as nice.

This is our go to place on a Friday night. Elegant dining, great food, friendly atmosphere, welcoming! I don't know how he does it but Franco manages to consistently score great food, great drinks. But the trick is, consistency. Consistently good! And this manages to strike a tone that most restaurants can't, casual elegance where you're welcomed like home. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Coming back for the pasta - wish I had ordered more! Still one of my favorites over the last few years. Bread - I appreciate the flaky sea salt. It did not come with olive oil. Polpette - 6 meatballs with good texture. Enough marinara for your bread. Agnolotti - Wonderfully handmade pasta. We shared, but I wish I hadn’t. The best sausage-like filling and velvety chicken broth sauce. Costoletta d’Agnello - Perfectly medium rare lamb chops with the right amount of seasoning. Foam was a little flat, but the dijon mustard sauce goes will with everything on the plate. The duck was not on the menu, so this was my second choice. Tiramisu - Classic and beautiful. Required. Spiced Almond Oil Cake - Balanced almond flavors with great texture. I appreciate the house made whipped cream. I usually don’t like cake, but I would eat this again.

Wonderful ambiance, food, wine selection and staff. Love that we were greeted by the owner upon arrival. The restaurant has a very intimate feel. Top notch food and service! Will definitely be returning.

We loved the appetizers. Prosciutto e Melone and Arancini Cacio & Pepe are first tried and they are delicious. Lasagna is classic and signature. A bit disappointed with the Fettuccine con Granchio, which's the most expensive one on the menu. Personally thought it's felt much oiled and imbalanced though it tried to use the olive oil to balance the a little dried fettucine. The crab was not perfectly fresh but ok. Personally it may feel better with a bit cream, less oil, and softer fettucine. Overall this is a worth trying restaurant with a good environment for date and other special occasions.

Great setting - very clean and modern with a relaxing feel. The waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive - guiding us through an unforgettable meal. Our appetizers and entrees were exceptionally prepared, and it was enjoyable not to be rushed through such a delicious experience! Drinks and desserts absolutely completed an amazing dining experience. Thanks so much for hosting us - see you again soon!

Best gnocchi I have ever had outside of Italy!!! Amazing texture and combined with an amazing combination of flavors in their rotating gnocchi special. This was a pork belly combo in a butter based sauce. We had the meatballs, arugula salad, and steak appetizers which were all delicious as well. Focaccia was incredibly light and fluffy. Will definitely be back, especially to try some desserts!

Thrilled Poulet Bleu is back! I was skeptical about the updated space and menu but can happily report that it is better than ever. The menu continues to offer modern, French inspired dishes, quality cocktails, and a hearty wine list. Not to mention, the updated space is beautiful. Special shout outs to Logan, Mark, Lindsey, and Kate for ensuring our dining experience was exceptional from the moment we walked in.

This was such a memorable meal - one that I want to keep reliving over and over. As they have just re-opened, it can be quite challenging to get a reservation. Luckily, we were able to snag a spot that someone had cancelled the night before. What a beautiful space! They did such an amazing job with the renovation. The front patio area is now enclosed and all-seasons, reminiscent of a French bistro. The interior is simply stunning. We sat towards the back with a front row seat to the kitchen, where everything was running (seemingly) smoothly despite how busy it was on a Friday night. We started with drinks - a French 75 and a Turf Club martini. Next up were our apps - baguette with cultured butter, a bistro salad, and French onion soup. For our mains, I ordered the steak frites with filet mignon and bearnaise sauce while my husband went with the roasted duck. Added a side of roasted carrots. And for dessert, we had to get the soufflé. It seemed to be the most popular dish of the evening, and rightfully so. Light but indulgent, served with cherry confit, ice cream, and anglaise. Every bite was absolutely delicious and well-presented. I could go on and on, but you truly have to try it for yourself. We can’t wait to go back!

Perfect dinner, excellent service, delicious food, and lovely, tasteful decor. We made reservations and chose the table in front of the open kitchen. It was nice to see how seamlessly everything was paced and balanced. All the meals were executed flawlessly, everything was organized, clean, efficient, and precise. The portions are large and ample and filling. The wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly but not overbearing. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing and I was impressed with the pacing...we never felt rushed. We sat to the right of the kitchen and never felt crowded or disruptive or displaced, it was pretty interesting to watch. This was by far one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had to date in Pittsburgh. With or without the wine pairing (we chose cocktails) the food was exceptionally delicious. What an enjoyable and satisfying evening. Do NOT skip dessert!!!

It was absolutely fantastic, and that all started with our server Dustin. He was fantastic and spent a lot of time answering any questions we had. Our appetizers, the Escargot and the Beef Tartare, were both fantastic. Then for entrees we had the duck and the salmon, both incredible as well, with the roasted carrots on the side. We finished with the soufflé. Everything was incredible and I really can't recommend this place enough for a special occasion.

This was our first time at Poulet Bleu and overall it was an incredible experience. To start, it's not widely advertised, but this is a BYOB establishment - their cork fee is high at $20, however in the same turn their cheapest bottle of wine is $65 so it was a no brainer to bring our own. We chose to sample all of their small plates, opposed to getting entrees, and started with the french onion soup that was highly recommended. They split into 2 for us as it's a large portion. It was phenomenal!!!! We also had the escargot, mussels, and steak tartare paired with the sides of carrots and potatoes aligot. Everything was out of this world and would 100% go back again. It is a pricey restaurant, but worth every penny, especially for a special occasion.

Had reservations for 5pm, arrived 10 minutes early, was not allowed in, even to the foyer, had to wait outside (in December) - We could see through the window they were having a staff meeting at the bar area. Which ended at 5. Then they keep us waiting outside without their outside heater on until at least 5 minutes after 5 - one of our party had to go inside to ask if we could 'enter'. Staff was nice, some of our party thought food was great, specifically the steak, but hard to have a great time when the evening starts out by having to sit out in the cold for 15 minutes. It's a good thing the people we were with made up for sitting out in the cold, We had a wonderful night. Atmosphere very nice.

Best French restaurant I have ever been to in the US. French onion oil is the best I ever had in my life. Atmosphere is very authentic and service is European style, so very relaxed atmosphere. We spent two hours here and savored every minute of it, watching the chefs!

Thai Me Up restaurant offers a very good variety of appetizers, salads, soups, fried rices, noodles, curries, main courses, beverages, etcetera. For my husband's and my lunch, the employees served us very well. We recommend the crab rangoon, wontons, green curry, and bubble teas. However, my husband said that the pad Thai tasted too sweet.

Our favorite Thai place in Pittsburgh - I miss living around the corner from this spot. Has a kick even at the lowest spice levels if you're a spice weenie like me, but it's worth it. We got the Khao soi and pumpkin curry this time around but I don't think I've ever disliked something off their menu.

This was our favorite Thai spot when we lived in Pittsburgh so when visiting this week we had to stop back in- still great Quick service, tasty food It is relatively small inside (~10 tables) I feel like it was bigger last time we were here) there is a small market next to it. Street parking $6 BYOB corking fee What we ate: Pad Thai Tofu Garlic Chicken

Nice Thai restaurant with a lot of the classic dishes and a few interesting items. The area is near Carson street on the South Side and the spot isn’t too too packed typically. I got to try out their pad se ew (Pad Z-U) noodles and the sticky rice with taro as a dessert. The pad Z-U was quite well done. They include a nice portion of noodles and an adequate amount of both vegetables and protein. They cooked everything to perfection, especially that delicious tofu. I always like the noodles to be saucy, and this place does a pretty good job at that! The dessert was unique and I’m very glad I got to try it. The taro is quite earthy so it probably isn’t to everyone’s taste but I enjoyed it. Nicely cooked rice, and little beans (I think?) as well as some sweet white syrup. Would recommend trying! All in all, I really liked this place. Good noodles and nice, unique desserts. Fair prices and portions as well.

Food and service were amazing! The Thai Me Up tofu rolls were “off the chain” (said my friend) I loved the pineapple basil chicken too! Our server was so friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back.

Excellent restaurant, great food, staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Its BYOB so feel free to bring a beverage or two and enjoy a great dinner. Food was so fresh and tasty. You can feel the love that goes into making these dishes. Spice level rated 1-10, I went with a 7 for my Sriracha Fried Rice and it was amazing!

The street parking was a bit of a challenge, but we made it here. You can do 2 hour parking on the street. The food was okay. The fried tofu with lettuce and peanut sauce had a very interesting texture. The place was very busy.

First time here after it was recommended by some friends who love it. Situated on a quiet street in Pittsburghs North Side surrounded by brownstones, parking can be a little tricky. Grab a menu, wait in short line, and order dine in or to go. A nice Lunch and Breakfast menu, but we came for the Sausage Biscuits and Gravy which did not disappoint. The homemade star of the show Biscuits were perfect. The Sausage gravy was a little on the sweeter side but the added Egg is a nice touch. The potatoes were spiced wedges and very tasty. Fried Chicken biscuit was cooked perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the outside..ask for a little extra honey, or add some Crystals Hot Sauce for some spice. For a sweet treat we added the Cinnamon Sugar Bites, so good. We'll be back to try more of the menu! Worth the trip!.

Walking into Wise County Biscuits feels like stumbling upon a little piece of Southern comfort right in Pittsburgh. My friend and I went for breakfast the other day, and we were blown away. The biscuits are everything you want them to be—warm, flaky, and full of buttery goodness. Paired with their fantastic coffee, it made for the perfect start to the morning. What I love most is the menu—it’s not just your standard breakfast lineup. Each dish has its own unique twist, with plenty of Southern charm that makes the whole experience memorable. It’s the kind of place where you immediately start planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your meal. Wise County Biscuits has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots in the city, and I can’t wait to go back and try more!

The food here is amazing! Perfectly cooked fried chicken. Grits like them make them in Georgia. Fluffy biscuits. Crunchy and perfectly cooked potatoes. Blueberry scones possibly the best i’ve ever tried. Service is on-point! Wasn’t a fan of their coffee, but will definitely return. Update oct 2025: returned and it’s still amazing! Best fried chicken and scones!!

Holy mother of biscuits! I didn’t realize Pittsburgh was in the south?! On our last morning in town before leaving, we decided to come to Wise County Biscuits for breakfast, and it did not disappoint. After placing our order at the counter, we took a seat at a table and waited for our meal. To start, we shared the cinnamon sugar biscuit bites; think biscuit meets churro meets cinnamon sugar doughnut. They were the perfect sweet little appetizer we needed. For my dish, I could not resist the classic biscuits and gravy. To wash it all down I had an iced vanilla coffee. Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum! The biscuits were buttery and flaky without being dense. The gravy had great flavor and it could not have been a more perfect meal. f you are craving some stick to your ribs, delicious breakfast food, this spot needs to be number one on your list.

All around stellar place. Morning light bathes you as you enjoy home cooked breakfast. We were impressed by the extra attention to quality and detail. I've never found greens on a breakfast menu but they were amazing. Of course biscuits were fantastic. Everything had a lot of flavor. Friendly staff, light and charming vibes and we'll priced. This is an anchor of the neighborhood.

Nice breakfast spot with a cozy southern vibe! The biscuits and home fries were delicious. There was a long line and no seats open on the Sunday morning we went. Luckily we ordered take out ahead of time so I just skipped the line and got my food that was already ready but still hot! The only sugared biscuit bite donuts were a little hard though and not warm by the time we ate them. I definitely recommend any biscuit sandwich (we got fried chicken and bacon/egg)

What an amazing little place nested in the North Shore neighborhood of Pittsburgh! Breakfast on the weekends, a lunch menu as well on weekdays. I ventured over for breakfast on a Sunday and it was crowded but seemed to be moving people well. I sat at the little bar which was about 6-7 seats and got served fairly quick for how busy they were. Ordered a two egg biscuit sandwich with bacon and cheese and a side of grits. It is rare when you ask for an over medium fried egg that you actually get it! Kudos to the chef! The grits were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right (I usually put extra pepper on mine, didn't need to). The biscuit was amazing too! We don't have a lot of good biscuit places here in Pittsburgh, so I am glad these were so good. Got a couple to take home! I highly recommend! A++
