50 Best American Restaurants near Finleyville

“This was a mixed bag. There were 8 of us. Parking is sufficient, right off 88, not hard to find. Easy wheelchair access. After ordering, you seat yourself. They don't take reservations. Waitresses bring your drinks & food to the table.You order at a cafeteria counter, but the food is upscaled. They smoke their own meats outside in the parking lot. The menu is varied with brisket & pulled pork as the smoked products served in familiar as well as new formats like a pulled pork taco. Smelled great, but I was determined to try the buttered lobster roll. It was amazing! Small, tender bun stuffed with the meat of 1 lobster all in butter, unfortunately I did bite into a small bit of shell. Hubby tried the lentil, ham, veggie soup. It was a pretty large bowl & really good. His entree was a shaved ribeye sandwich, also excellent, although I thought it could have had more meat. Crispy, salted waffle fries were terrific. Others had burger, small plate salmon dinner, crab cake - everyone was pleased. The desserts were not very good. Creme Brulee & cheesecake were good, cookies & brownies were hard, not good.Overall, I would go back again. Next trip I will be trying those tacos.“

“POSITIVE - This is an amazing location for a variety of outdoor lifestyles both Male & Female and also kid friendly to enjoy. They host Car shows, Bike Nights, live band and many others for great photo opportunities and social media tags. The food is good and reasonably priced however it is a "CASH ONLY" business. So be sure to stop at an ATM before arriving. Alcohol is reasonably priced also.There parking lot is massive and every event I attend has been packed. So if you are tired of indoor restaurants or just want to experience a fun outdoor adventure. Tiki is the place to be.NEGATIVE - They need to have a lot more shaded seating [preferably away from the stage]. It's a hit or miss that I and as many others are forced to stand, holding and eating our food & drinks because many customers just place purses and other items on the chairs & tables like some deck chairs at some resort then take off. Due to lack of seating, events do not last very long. (2 or 3 hours) than everyone leaves standing too long.Bring Ear Plugs. Noone does a sound check and more often than not the live bands play at a volume heard across the highway for no good reason. Another reason many people only stay for 30min to an hour.Kid-friendliness: The car shows and bike nights are great events to get kids outside and marvel at historical machinery, socialize and get fresh air.Parking: Massive parking lot. Most see to understand. Every event I've attended also has been free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor location on more or less relatively flat surfaces. They do have at least 1 wheelchair accessible Porta Potty.“

“They make the best cheeseburger south of Pittsburgh!We've also tried the fresh cut fries and onion rings. Nice people who are trying to make sure you love their food and come back. It's been a stop for us to pick up food on the way to mango park. They have specials every day and we will be back to try the tacos.“

“Been wanting to try the breakfast sandwiches since they opened and since moving to this side of town, thought today was a perfect excuse. I've seen people rave about this place and now i know why. Seeing as though we got there around 8 am, I'd recommend getting there early because I've been told it can be line out the door later on, but that's how you know it's good. I got the classic with bacon and my boyfriend got the breakfast smash. We also opted to split the Creme Brulee griddled French toast with lemon curd. Paired with an Arabica pour over coffee for him and Oblong tea for me, it was the perfect Easter breakfast. The sandwiches were cooked perfectly. That French toast though, wow! The perfect amount of sweetness and with the mild lemon curd, just chef's kiss. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Can't wait to come back.“

“Awesome vibes and food! This place was spotlessly clean and well lit, everyone is incredibly friendly, service staff and even the cooks were so helpful, welcoming, and kind! We got homemade meatballs, zucchini tower, and homemade tiramisu and every single single was just to die for!!! Drinks were strong and cheap and the pool table is well taken care of!Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, bar in the front and laid back dining area in the back“

“By George is a hidden diamond resturant which of was in the center of Manhattan’s busy city world, you’d never get a table, because the food, the bar service, and the relaxed atmosphere is just too good. If you haven’t tried By George & enjoy Lamb, Steaks, or Chicken dishes, you must treat yourself to this incredible food experience!! This is my favorite local restaurant.“

“Food was delicious! No complains! Everything was cooked well done. Service was very awesome well polite. Highly recommend you try it! Fast service called in order and everything ordered was well completed. Can’t say enough about it! Well worth the money I spent for lunch! No Complaints! 5 Star Ratings!!“

“When we arrived the restaurant was very crowded we have been here about 6 times even though it was crowded the waitress waited on us she was excellent our food came within 7 minutes.The food was delicious. It doesn't matter how crowded it is the most you wsit on your food to arrive is 5 to 7 minutes unbelievable we continue to keep going back because it's a very pleasant place and everything is just so perfect. Give it a try and you will keep going back. You will always get a large portion of food“

“Dined for lunch with a group of 14 ladies. Nikki was our server and was wonderful. . .fast, pleasant, just all around good. I like Spots and I like Frangelico; so, I tried the Frangelico Spots. Not saying they were bad, just not my cup of tea. Everyone was very pleased with the experience.“

“This place has become a staple for our family since moving into the South Hills area. The small diner feel where the staff remembers your name and order before you can get the words out...this is it!! I love their Western Omelets and the Cinnamon Raisin Toast. But there's nothing in the menu subpar“

“We were passing through and ordered two apps at half price and a burger medium rare. Apps were great but when we took a bit of the burger, it was raw inside. The waitress was nice and had our burger remade. Good burger but we were charged for the raw burger as well as the one we ate. It could have been accidental but maybe not. Good place for food but recommend checking your receipt.“

“Food is incredible! Truly, one of the South Hills hidden gems. Will definitely be back. Lots of people ordering pick up also, so that’s always an option. Probably one drawback though, to making sure in-house customers are taken care of promptly. There were a decent amount of people, so expect to wait a little bit. I believe they’re hiring servers though! So, check out Bee’z Bistro; you won’t be disappointed. And, ask for their specials menu!“

“Great old tavern & grill, on the top of the hill, down by the river in Charleroi. The food has always been very good and they have large portions too! I would recommend giving them a try, when looking for a different small business option.“

“The fish was huge & falling off the plate. I don't think I've ever eaten anywhere that they didn't forget to bring something out...like ranch or mayo, but it didnt happen here. You get a lot of food for a very reasonable price. The place was packed the whole time we were there. All the staff were nice & friendly. Definitely worth a trip to South Hills!“

“Went for a girl’s night out, had a few flights and sandwiches. Food was really good and beer was fantastic. My fav is Those Winter Sundays. Reminds me of Andes Candies, very smooth. Friendly bar tenders. All around good experience.. will go again soon!“

“Today, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for brunch. We were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional customer service and high-quality food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the meat lovers omelette, while I was not particularly fond of the pancakes, but the waffles were absolutely delicious.“

“This place really surprised me. It's on my street and my adult kids frequently stop down for a drink or a bite to eat. They rave about it so of course my husband and I had to try. Super friendly service and good food. Love the happy hour specials and the rotating specials. Thrilled to have this little gem on our street.“

“My favorite breakfast spot in the Pittsburgh area! I usually get one of their many benedicts and they're always excellent. I've also tried a few omelets and biscuits and gravy.The menu is pretty large so there's something for everyone. I recommend reading before you go if you can because it can get overwhelming trying to read everything if they're busy.I've also tried some of their take home meals and they're really good too.It can get kind of busy on the weekend so there might be a wait but it's never been long.“

“I brought my granddaughter there for breakfast and we couldn't have been happier. The staff was attentive and super friendly even on an extremely busy morning. Both of our breakfasts came out exactly how we asked and was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an old school family place and not the chain bland breakfast.“

“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!“

“This place is awesome! If you're looking for some fried fish and fried chicken that will blow your balls off, you've found the right place. I've had their chicken salad too and it's a yinzer masterpiece. Sure, I've had their gyro too and it wasn't a 10 out of 10 but this is the FISH and CHICKEN Boss not Mike and Tony's. Don't be a potato, pull you're head out of your rear end and order some fried deliciousness“

“We had a funeral brunch upstairs in the private dining room. Everything was great. The staff was pleasant and efficient. We had the Cod, Breaded chicken breast, White rice, Stuffed shells with sauce, salad, and rolls with chocolate cake with coffee at the end. Food was plentiful, delicious and very satisfying. A pleasant ending.“

“This has been my go-to breakfast spot for almost 10 years now. Their French toast and pancakes are to die for. I swear I can never finish the pancakes but that’s okay in my book. They have specials written on the board. Def give it a try sometime. I recommend ordering just about anything.The servers are super attentive and polite. This is a very friendly local establishment. I’m happy to support this small business! You won’t be disappointed if you eat here. Always fresh. Always hot.Parking: Parking is available on both sides of the building. You can also find parking near the back of the building as well.“

“Went to wing night. Tried 3 sauces. Gold (my personal favorite) honey jalapeño and chipotle bbq. We had the bbq chicken wrap and a sweet and spicy burger ( that was the burger of the month). Some of the best bar food in the 412. Crispy wings. Sauces were original and great. Side was charred Brussels sprouts that were garlicky and a great option. Homemade ranch and blue cheese. Everything here is made in house. Makes 100% difference. Alexa was our waitress and she was terrific. The bar and restaurant were packed and she was very busy. She smiled and talked to everyone as she filled the tables with food and drinks. The kitchen was jamming but they worked seamlessly together. A refreshing display of synergy in the post COVID world. Great food, great service. You’ll never be disappointed at JMOS.“

“2nd year that we've had my daughters birthday dinner here for over 24 people. The food and service are always great! we had 2 waitresses (one was Lindsay and I'm not sure of the name of the other) to handle our group and they were professional and quick to deliver our orders. We really like it here and will return soon“

“This old school house serves up a delicious lunch menu. (Go to White Dove spa upstairs first.) Their Turkey Devonshire uses real roasted turkey (unlike a famous downtown venue.) Highly recommend the soup & lunch salad. Don't miss the homemade pastry selections!“

“The mushroom swiss burger was excellent. My spouse had shrimp scampi which he said was good but meal was small.... nothing served but small portion of shrimp and noodles. ( no side salad or bread) The dinner cost was too expensive . The sandwiches were well priced. Our server was excellent.“

“We had a funeral luncheon here, and everything was perfect. The banquet room was the right size for our party. People had room to move around and socialize, and it's set apart from the main dining area so it felt private.Even better was the food. There were several options to select for banquet catering and our food was delicious. The rigatoni was a perfect al dente. We had a few people less than anticipated, and to go boxes were provided for our guests.The best part of our event was the service. Jenna helped me plan the event and made suggestions on the menu (she was right about everything!). Jenna and Angelina were our servers. They were wonderful. They checked several times for refills and anything we needed. I'd host another event here in a heartbeat.“

“Support your local brewer and get down to Insurrection Brewing in Heidelberg - right next to the police station ?. It's not a particularly large venue, nor a warm and cozy place, but they're definitely churning out some decent brews here. The barrel aged stout and west coast IPA were really very good. They've got a 3.91 (of 5) average rating on Untappd, and that's pretty good ?“

“I have nothing but good things to say about the Riverhouse. They helped us greatly when it came time to plan a luncheon for after a funeral. They opened up for us and could not have been any nicer. The staff especially Marley and one of the owners Jimmy really helped us out. We ate there a total of 3 times including the luncheon that week and everything was perfect everytime. They really made a stressful time in your life alot easier.“

“I WOULD RATE 10 STARS IF I COULD!!! I LOVE A GOOD WING AND SAUCE AND WHEN MY BARBER SUGGESTED TIM'S PLACE FOR THE BUFFALO WINGS, I WAS HOOKED!!!! THESE WINGS ARE NOT SPICY, MORESO MILD, BUT SOOOOOOO DAG ON GOOD!!!! YOU WANT MORE AND MORE OF HIS SIGNATURE BUFFALO SAUCE ON THEM!!!! ITS A BUTTERY BUFFALO SAUCE THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED!!! I CAN EAT THESE WINGS EVERY DAY!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!“

“This was a really nice First Watch location! Very open atmosphere and a good amount of seating. Service was quick and the food came out fast as well! Definitely recommend their salads here but everything we have had here has been top notch! We will be back “

“Came for a bite to eat and wasn't disappointed at all. Our Apps of brisket nachos & jerk chicken lettuce wraps were delicious. It was wing nite so we tried soy Thai, Nashville Hot, & Hot Garlic Parm. Yummy yummy. Finished off with a homemade dessert. ??? We'll definitely be back “

“Nice little diner, well atleast I thought it was until I was done eating at the counter and realized that they had a big dinning room on the other side of the wall lol. Good food and prices, I'll definitely be back! Support small businesses!“

“Servers are very attentive and take very good care of you! The food was pub food, just okay. The boneless wings needed to be saucier. But we had such a fabulous time with karaoke! Saturday night karaoke was an absolute blast! Best karaoke we’ve been to! We will visit again and be back for sure ?“

“I'm a over-the-road truck driver and I live in Atlanta, GA. I was picking up a load right next door and I must say the food and service was amazing. Thank you for making my experience so wonderful and pleasant. Keep up the good work. You guys ROCK. May God bless you all ?“

“Been wanting to come here for years. Finally made time to stop by. Only suggestion I would make is service. The pizza takes awhile which is understandable however the check was brought to the table while we were still eating. Would have ordered more drinks and dessert if offered. But that was okay Dairy Queen is right next door.Did appreciate getting a Wednesday special discount even though I thought the pricing was fair to begin with.“

“The hotdogs were very good, like they would be good with nothing on them kinda good. Not sure how to comment on the sauce, it isn't bad just different, probably the kind of thing that grows on you the more you have it, with all the onions I was hoping I could taste them better. Will probably try cheese dogs the next time I'm around.“

“This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Our waitress, Tonya L. was the absolute best and and so nice. We ordered the Filet and it was delicious. It came with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything from the service to the food was excellent!!“

“The first time I ate there, the food and service were impeccable. A+. I was so impressed that I wanted to share the experience with my family on Superbowl Sunday… so we ordered takeout. Got home and ate our food and I got sick. Wanna know why? My stomach hurt so bad from eating WAY. TOO. MUCH. We ordered apps and wraps and sandwiches…everything was delicious and we all stuffed ourselves because we didn’t want to waste ANYTHING. The dogs were very mad that there were no leftovers to steal. ? If you’ve never been here, do yourself a favor and try it. You won’t be disappointed. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!!!!?? ??“

“We went here on a whim because another place a few towns over was booked solid. I agree, they need to make their "cash only" policy more evident upon arrival. My wife and I got side salads, and the house dressing was vinegar forward - I liked that, but some mightn't. Our friend shared his order of Awesome Blossom Petals, and they were good. I got the Italian sausage bake. It's a lot, and it was good, but not so good that I'm interested in reheating the to-go leftovers. Our waitress was nice. It was weird that the hostess and the waitress were sitting at the dining table next to us when they weren't waiting on us. They have tripe, so they're still on the "I'll probably go back to check that out" list.“

“My mom has an autoimmune disease, which means we still need to be careful when going into public places. When I called the manager at DeeJays Collier location to explain the situation and how I wanted to have a birthday party for the first time since the pandemic, he was immediately accommodating. We were going to try to make the outdoor patio work for my mom’s safety, but sadly the weather did not cooperate that day. No worries because upon arriving at the indoor party room he reassured us that everything had been disinfected and throughly cleaned. He also had the Pens game up on the TV for us so that was an added bonus! In addition to Nick’s incredible hospitality, our server Trinity was a trooper! When she first came in to check on mom and I she kept her distance to be respectful and was so kind to our entire party. She was so efficient with providing additional customer service and we were so lucky to have an incredible experience there. That day was made special thanks to Nick & Trinity, so I want to shout them out for making my first birthday party in over 4 years so special for me and our family & friends!“

“The green beans appetizer is so delicious I had to order more! Plus I had the crispy chicken salad the chicken was so tender and the flavor was so good with all the combination in this salad! I defiantly recommend this place. Such a wonderful and unique little Cafe IO. ***** 5 star place in my opinion!“

“I hosted a party in the upstairs room over the weekend and it was fantastic. The food was great exactly what we asked for and everyone went above and beyond. Our bartender Chelsi was awesome. Courtney was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed! We will definitely be back! The new owner has made so many improvements it just keeps getting better!“

“Great neighborhood sports bar with excellent food quality service and the best wing deal in town!Mulligans is right near Allegheny Co airport so good easy location to get to. Tuesday is the main night I have been here for the 15 bucks all you can eat wing special. Plenty of other choices sandwiches burgers etc. Very reasonable prices on all menu items.Wheelchair accessibility: Very good. Ground level. No steps“

“We went for dinner Jan . 7 2023 well was disappointing on everything . Sat down had the rolls which were good but no silverware. Order our food my 8 oz Filet came out butter-flyed topped with mushrooms which I nevered ordered. I cut into it and it wasn’t middle rare . They took it back brought me another Filet which wasn’t medium rare , The man said I’ll get you another one , I was so hungry I told him no . I added shrimp to my order , the shrimp was the only thing on the plate by it self . I ate them right away which was cold !. Got the bake potato around 4 minutes or after the Food got to the table. My sisters food wasn’t hot cold meat . The total as around $ 55.00 or so . I’ve never been so dissatisfied with everything should have taken a meal of the bill . I will be back I enjoy the friendly people and usually have a great meal !!!“

“This place is second to none! Top notch on everything. We had my husbands retirement celebration there last Saturday. We had another venue and 5 days before the event we decided we were making a mistake and called Lynn at the Red Lion Restaurant. On short notice Lynn accommodated every single request we asked her for. We had an extensive Menü, Stuff PorkChops, Roast Beef in gravy, Seafood Alfredo, Rigatoni, Red Roasted Potatoes and a vegetable melody, A charcuterie table that was amazing, the food was excellent, the service was incredible, her staff went far and beyond to make this event special! I want to thank them all for making this celebration in our families life so special and a beautiful memory we will cherish for ever. Do not hesitate to book your event or have dinner or lunch at this restaurant you will not be disappointed.“

“We had to cancel our Easter Brunch reservations because our father had a taken a bad fall the day before. When we notified the restaurant they were very understanding. In fact, they offered to provide us with a to go option so that we could bring our father brunch. They went above and beyond and the food and staff were amazing! Please check them out!“

“Always a great place for good food and prices are reasonable. Normally has a soup and salad bar. Love the potato soup. Sad it's only 2 days a week for it.Kid-friendliness: Kids get crayons and a coloring/learning placemat.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps!!!“

“So, Red Lobster in Pleasant Hills was clean and had a menu with many options. I chose the shrimp skewers and added a scallop one. They were tasty. I added a side of Brussel sprouts. They were delicious. The biscuits were good. The baked potato was done well. All of the staff were friendly . It’s worth a return visit to try the Salmon Bowl or maybe the flounder.“
