50 Best American Restaurants near Glenshaw

“Was looking for a new place to take the fam for my dad's birthday and stumbled across this place after a little research. It's a little outside of downtown Pittsburgh which is what we wanted because navigating and parking was easy ?As soon as I walked in I loved the atmosphere. Super cool place and hadn't seen anything like it before. It gave a super cool vibe. I also put in a reservation for 11 and we ended up in a private room - didn't ask for it - but more than appreciated that we were kind of closed off in our own space ?Our server was really friendly and on top of everything...giving us details on specials, super on point with service in general, and overall gave an awesome experience. I wish I remembered his name to give a shout-out because I like to give credit where credit is due ?I ordered a full meal here - I will say the clam chowder was ok...not bad but nothing spectacular but I'm still giving 5 stars for everything else I stated above and the rest of the food I ordered. I also got shrimp wontons, which I wish I took a picture cause they were unique and texture was on point and flavor, especially the sauce was great. My main course was there cottage pie, their spin off shepherds pie but with a super flavorful gravy and shaved ribeye with mashed potatoes on top. Everyone at the table wanted it as soon as it arrived and it was awesome! I got a slice of chocolate cake to go which was also really good too ?I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try more of their menu options because I don't think I'd be disappointed - Thank you for a great evening especially on my dad's birthday ?“

“We enjoyed a lovely Fri night happy hour in the warm sunshine( nice out door patio)Had good happy hour $ drinks and delicious apps. I wish i took a picture of the hummus plate delicious and beaitiful. The mushrooms!!! Sooooo good perfection!“

“Middle Road Inn (MRI) is a local bar/restaurant to me. It "noxs" the socks off all the other area restaurants. We almost eliminated all other local restaurants from our repertoire of eateries. We eat there about once a week for years now. The Burgers, Fish Sandwich, Fries and fried Zucchini are the best anywhere. Rueben's are good, Philly Cheese Steak Wrap excellent. Basically, it is very unusual not be very happy with whatever you choose to eat. Did I mention fries... yep, better than McDonalds, best around. While the bar food is consistently the best, they also serve excellent dinners like Chicken Marsala, Chicken Picatta, Prime Rib and so on. The ambiance is that of a high end bar, with a large restaurant seating separate and behind the bar with a great working fireplace. Behind that there is a covered deck that is super on hot summer nights. Prices are reasonable, actually rather low for what you get. Joe the owner is always in the kitchen making sure the food is consistently good. His dad owns Willies Tavern in Valencia that has been famous for it fish and cuisine since forever which explains why everything is good at the MRI. Many, many years of experience pays off. Give Middle Road Inn a try, you won't be sorry.“

“My recent experience at City Works exceeded all expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly smiles from the staff. Despite it being a busy night, the service was prompt and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of fantastic.Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The spicy shrimp was perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of kick to tantalize my taste buds. The fried pickles were crispy and addictive, and the smokehouse burger was an absolute delight – juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Each dish showcased the skill and expertise of the chefs at City Works.The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment of my visit. It's clear that City Works puts effort into creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for their guests.Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a place to indulge in some delicious food, I highly recommend City Works. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“If you have a special occasion to celebrate, this is the place. We eat out often, but not at $60-$80 per entree. My husband would differ, but I found it was worth it. The Chilean sea bass was as great as everyone says it is. He had the rib eye ( a special). He said it was good, but had too much sauce on it. Next time, we'll save the steak for a real steak house. We went at 6:30, so we saw day and night views. Quite spectacular. I will say, that I would have appreciated if they would tell you the prices of the specials vs. having to ask. Service was top notch and liked the amuse bouche.“

“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.“

“This place is great but the best part was our server. Tiffany's service was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we walked in, her warmth and enthusiasm set the perfect tone for our experience. Her recommendations were spot-on, showcasing her deep knowledge of the menu and her keen understanding of our tastes. Throughout our time there, she remained attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our needs were promptly met. But what truly set Tiffany apart was her infectious energy and genuine desire to ensure we had a fantastic time. She didn't just serve us food; she created an atmosphere of joy and laughter, making every moment memorable. Tiffany is the epitome of hospitality, and her dedication to her craft shines through in every interaction.“

“There's a lot of things to love about fig & ash; it's got a fun atmosphere, great service, and good food. The attentiveness of the staff was particularly a highlight -- different dishes and utensils for each part of the meal showed an attentiveness to the experience. The food is inventive on simple themes, which we loved (but also felt like it didn't hit on some things).Overall, it was a great experience, but I think for what it was, the price is just a little too high (and thus the 4 stars instead of 5). Specifically, some of the food pairings were a little off, and the environment is a bit cluttered. Nothing bad for a slightly less expensive restaurant, but at this price point it's a 4/5 for me.“

“Great seafood and steak dishes. Decent portion sizes. The bread basket was amazing. Good pasta with shrimp, I would have liked more spinach in the dish though. Cocktails…yaaaassss! It was a little pricey, but honestly the best meal I had while visiting Pittsburgh.“

“What started out as a date night spot has turned into a staple for us, and for good reason. The attention to every single detail doesn’t go unnoticed. The food is top notch, every time. The bar, cocktails and wine are thoughtfully (and perfectly) executed. The service and atmosphere are both inviting, professional, light, and fun. Seriously, the best. 10/10 all around :)“

“Everything was great. Definitely get the baked potato cheese. The wine and garlic seasoning was amazing! We had the "Bigger Night Out" and there was more than enough for both of us. The lobster tail had great flavor. The server was attentive and kind. Had the chocolate-covered strawberries at our table upon arrival, they were ripe and juicy! Just overall a great date night! Will be returning. One complaint, the veggies were cut way too thick, so we couldn't cook them in under 8 or so minutes. They need to be thinner. That's the only thing I would change.“

“Very friendly family environment! Husband and wife were very great to us. We drove all from Philadelphia to go to the hall of fame in Ohio to stop here because of diners drive ins and dives. They did not disappoint. They were busy but accommodating. Food was very large and very good! Highly recommend it!“

“We booked a brunch reservation for 4, arrived on time and then waited half an hour before anyone gave us water or menus. No apology or explanation given. It seemed like there was one girl trying to run the entire front of house. She did her best, but service was lacking. Once we did get to order the food was delicious. The Bloody Mary was unremarkable and could use some love.“

“Best breakfast spot in Pittsburgh. Parking: very limited parking but we were there on a Sunday morning and were able to find a spot. Dining area: The restaurant is pretty small but again we were lucky to find an open table. Shortly after we arrived there were a few parties that had to wait for seating. Food: This was not only the best breakfast that I had in Pittsburgh but in most other places too. I had the pancakes with scrambled eggs and sausage. They make their sausage in house and I went with the spicy sausage though there were different options. I also had pepper jack cheese in the eggs. The pancakes were also quite large and were some of the best I have had in any restaurant. The coffee was also very good and the waitress also provided a to go cup for it as well. Service: The service was excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff. The owners were also there and interacting with the patrons. The next time I am in Pittsburgh this is where I will be eating breakfast.“

“D's has made all of my hot dog dreams come true. You can build your own hot dog or choose from a list of delicious combinations. My go to is the mason Dixon, topped with chili and coleslaw. They also have a wide selection of beer and other bar foods but we keeping coming back for the hot dogs.“

“What a great experience! We had a private party over lunch for a coworker, and the feast team just went above and beyond. We couldn't decide about cake options so Chef offered two custom cakes, which should be added to the menu. Absolutely amazing, and the food was just delicious! Service is stellar! THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT! All around great job!!“

“Excellent restaurant! Can’t wait to return. Everyone is so welcoming and fantastic hosts. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, art, and creativity while enjoying really outstanding food. It was the perfect spot for my birthday tonight. ❤️“

“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“

“Very comfortable local diner-style American restaurant. Very nice for relaxed weekend breakfasts, and their Reuben sandwich is fantastic. Food always comes out piping hot and fresh, and their rotating daily specials give you plenty of options.Their French toast is fantastic, and their pancakes are pretty well made too. I wish they offered real maple syrup, either as an option or a small upcharge, because their French toast with real maple syrup would be an easy 10/10.It would be nice if they took cards, but there's lots of cash-only businesses around so it's not a big deal.Atmosphere is very cozy and would get 5 stars, but please consider changing the channel on the TV in the dining area to something other than Fox News! It didn't offend me, but relaxed Saturday morning breakfasts don't feel like the time to catch up on the latest political theatre and it throws off the vibe“

“KIND BUSINESS ALERT! Carl & Lisa run an incredible restaurant. The food is outstanding. Portions are large and worth every penny. The variety will make you want to return again & again. The cabbage roll is wonderful. Perfect! Very small space to eat in. They have limited hours. Owned by a retired police office, hence the name! Support local businesses. I'm from Chicago, and these are some of the best periogies I've ever had!“

“Stopped by after a leisurely stroll at Riverview Park, and what a gem! The food was delicious, and you can totally tell it’s prepared with love. The staff was super friendly too. Can’t wait to go back and try some other items on the menu!“

“Alta Via is definitely a favorite place of mine now. Tonight was my third time coming, and our server Eddie was absolutely amazing. He saved our night! (We had a horrible experience at another resturaunt, so we left and came to Alta Via in Market Square!) He was so attentive to our needs and really went above and beyond! Food is always delicious, drinks are amazing and the focaccia bread they bring out is to die for. Highly recommend! And ask for Eddie at the Market Square location!“

“Amazing Staff and Food for large birthday party with toddlers. See my photos of Appetizers and Entreés w/sides. Very reasonably priced for nice sized portions? I highly recommend the Pizookies and Triple Chocolate one at that ?. Plenty of parking, but fills up quickly during meal rush hours. Easy In and Easy Out onto roadway. I had the shrimp scampi and Tri tip combo with chili and baked potato ? ? I highly recommend this place for your next family outing.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: Fills quicklyKid-friendliness: Staff is great for kids ? ?“

“Bistro To Go was the exclusive caterer of our venue. At first I was nervous with only one choice, but after our first phone call and tasting I knew we were in good hands. Nikki and her team truly care about their couples and their wedding days. We were able to tailor our menu to our liking and keep it in our budget. Our guests raved about the food and we definitely feel like it was not your average wedding food. Highly pleased and thankful for the bistro staff!“

“THE definition of small greasy spoon diner. Absolutely loved it. Pete is the owner, cook, host, waiter, etc. One man shop! Educated on wonderful jazz music while enjoying the best breakfast egg bowl topped with french toast "croutons"! Who thinks of this wonderful idea?!“

“After several years, still a 4. I started with a drink at the bar and then moved on to a table. It was around 5 on a Saturday and the place was dead except for a wedding party killing a half hour at the bar. Too early, I guess. The bar service was fine. The table service was too, though he perhaps came off as a little less than genuine. In any case, I didn't really want for anything. My burger and fries were very good and I enjoyed the wine. The burrata app was weird (they minced up the burrata?), but it tasted good. Perhaps they didn't want to serve the whole ball? My main gripe was that menu presented was different from the one found on their website. This was due to a recent seasonable update, but come on folks-it's just a quick upload. I was originally disappointed that the burger that I'd come there for was not on the new menu. When we asked, though, he explained (in a sort of annoyed, ugh-I-have-to-explain-the-burger-thing-again tone) that the burger was just too popular. While they still serve it, it's not on the menu "to give customers a chance to notice the rest of the [more expensive] menu offerings". Mind you, this is a $27 burger and fries we are talking about here - not a super-cheap dish that's bringing in the riff-raff. They apparently plan to rebrand the burger as a secret menu item or something. Maybe it's me, but if your burger is outshining the rest of the menu to the point where you actively try to sell less of it, perhaps the rest of the menu is actually the issue. I, for one, rarely order a burger and love more fine dining food, but nothing else on this menu really stood out to me.“

“Went before my haircut a few doors down and was packed not a seat in the house and was just as good as ever....had the eggs Benedict regular no fancy frills and it doesn't disappoint. 2 girls running around servicing the entire place but they make it worth the visit everytime“

“Loved the food!!! I ordered a country fried steak with gravy, eggs, home fries, and biscuits. It was delicious and worth the visit. The service was good; server checked on me and got me the check quickly without rushing me out. I appreciated that because I don't enjoy waiting for the check. Definitely diner atmosphere but that's exactly what I came for. Overall, great experience and would come again.Parking: Parking is relatively easy and cheap with street and parking lots. 25 cents for an hour of parking.“

“Came here late night after a photoshoot in the city. Treated the people I was with to a nice meal. I called to see if there was a wait. The person on the phone was very helpful and it was not busy, so we could get in. They greeted us very kindly and sat us upstairs. My only complaint is that the fans made it cold after coming in from rainy weather. I suggest coming here during (Happy Hour) as the food and drinks are very pricey, but understandable as the quality of the food was worth it. The house made tortillas were warm and delicious. The queso, salmon, and guacamole appetizers were delicious and filling. Pineapple Margarita hit the spot. All the tacos they have are superb. Very delicious late evening option if you want quality food.“

“The experience started with the warm welcome from the staff. From the security to the bartender, they were all friendly and pleasant. The food was really good and seemed to be fairly priced for the area, although I still feel the area is overpriced in general. The process of getting into the venue was easy and organized. The space was a beautifully quaint and well-used venue. The crowd for a sellout was the perfect size and it was not overcrowded. The acoustics of the venue were very excellent and the price of tickets was phenomenal. If there is a downside, it is the parking, however it is free in the evening, which beats $40-$50 at most other venues. I will certainly be back just for the experience. Amazing work!“

“We got visit here after going to the conservatory. It was a Friday and there was about a 30 minute wait and about a 30 minute wait for food. We gladly sat at the bar and ordered from a variety of mule drinks. Angry mule and the cranberry mule are so refreshing. We ordered the cod sandwich and fish taco. The portions were definitely large and delicious. Will definitely visit here again!!“

“My girlfriend and I are recent regulars. It has quickly become our favorite brunch spot in Pittsburgh. The food is consistently amazing but what ultimately keeps us coming back are the people. They truly care about their customers and they quickly feel like a second family. I wish I could give this place more stars.“

“I sometimes have a hard time finding this little neighborhood bar. It's a gem. I feel like it's kind of like a phantom bar that phases in and out of existence, like something out of Brigadoon. It defines the word 'cozy'. The food went from reheated pizza to (now) very respectable bar food. It's always chill here, and the prices are right. Bar staff are consistently friendly.It's good that this place is hard to find. It's for locals, and people that know how to behave in bars. If you can't respect that, you shouldn't go.“

“Where can I begin… the food was delicious! Friendly service and real conversation. My family and I are from Indiana visiting for the weekend and we wanted to try Grandma B’s. Went on Saturday morning and it was so impressive we said “We’re coming back tomorrow before we leave!” Only to return Sunday morning and they had standing room only! Sadly my party and I were just going to head back to Indiana, hungry when they called us back in and said”We’re going to make room for you all up top.” They proceeded to prepare another area upstairs to accommodate our party! Hands down best food in service in Pittsburgh!“

“We had a wonderful dinner. The food was prepared perfectly by Executive Chef Nick Senske and his team. The cauliflower and truffle dip was sooo delicious as was the carrott appetizer. We shared three pasta dishes, all were delicious. The Short rib casserchia was very tasty! We will be back.“

“First time here, will definitely be back! Service was great food was great. Had the loaded fries, nashville chicken sandwich buffalo chicken eggrolls..not a fan of the eggroll but everything else was amazing. Ranch dressing was the some of the best I've “

“Awesome vegetarian Sunday brunch. Almond French toast with a big buffet of sides plus Bundt cakes. Loved the eclectic atmosphere. Lots to look at. Great vibe.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options available. No meat served.Parking: Parking is free on the street on Sundays.“

“We had a wonderful evening with family and friends. PA market is an excellent place to get together and enjoy many different flavorful dishes and drinks. The service is always outstanding. We had the arroz con pollo (rice with chicken) and it was delicious. Pizza is always well liked as well as the burgers. Highly recommend.“

“I've lived 5 minutes away for years and never knew what I was missing!I tried Coughlins Law for the first time with my husband and kids a few weeks ago and have already been back two more times (will absolutely be going again and again because we NEED to try everything and the menu is always changing!)So far we've tried the Crab Rangoon Nachos (massive, addictive, and the perfect salty sweet app!), the Fried Burrata (looked delicious but can't confirm because my kids polished it off instantly) the Coughlin Law Burger (loved the theatrics with the smokey dome and genuinely could taste it, too! It was like a super upgraded outdoor BBQ burger) and about 10 more dishes.The service the first time was quick and helpful, but the most recent was above and beyond. The waiter we had was so friendly and funny it genuinely felt like he was talking to old friends the whole time and it made the whole meal that much better.All that to say, I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been here yet. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu!*Pro-tip: order as much as you can because they make for killer leftovers too“

“Soo good ? The food is bomb?, I had the Philly steak with mushrooms and beer cheese, a side of fries and my husband had the Rodeo burger ? with fries also we had the Fish sandwich/fries and the twice fried chicken wings with the house bbq/onion rings and everything was cooked to perfection and so delicious.“

“Four of us went to Revival for Easter. I’ve seen the place so many times on Resy, but didn’t pull the trigger until now… I regret waiting to visit. Awesome experience all around. Service was excellent. Food was prepared perfectly. Menu had a nice variety. Definitely going to be heading back soon.“

“We (couple) had a great dinner at Bridges & Bourbon. The service and atmosphere were great. We booked a day-of reservation and could only get in for dinner at 8:45pm but we didn't mind terribly. It was the St Patrick's Day parade that day so perhaps was busier than normal. We started with the shrimp and salad, both were good but not amazing. I had the smash burger and my partner had the streak - the mains were great. We ended with the tiramisu cheesecake, not what I was expecting (it was in a small ramekin) and more of a mousse than a cheesecake, but it was a nice light sweet to end our meal. I don't drink but the cocktails they were making looked very cool. On the pricier side but for a special night out I think it's justifiable!“

“My partner loves sweets, cookies in particular, and I wanted to find a local bakery to buy some goodies for Valentine’s Day. Was happy to see that this place offers cookie packs with free shipping! I loved the assortment and the specialty Pittsburgh inspired cookies. I’ve never ordered baked goods through the mail before, so I was worried about how they would arrive. However, they were neatly packaged and individually wrapped! And they were still soft. This place also allows you to add a custom message which was added as a sticker on the inside of the box. The cookies were delicious and larger than I expected - I would definitely repurchase from this place! Thank you for the A+ Valentine’s gift!“

“I am so happy this place exists! These are the best cocktails I have had since we moved to the area from the San Francisco Bay Area. So impressed by the staff, everyone is so friendly and every drink has been fantastic. We will definitely be back!“

“Such a warm and inviting, home style restaurant in the heart of Bellevue on Lincoln Ave. Upstairs is the bar / restaurant which has a delicious menu! Around back they have a speakeasy- typically live jazz music- with a cover but such cool vibes and great music!! Street parking or paid parking lots available- make sure to have your quarters!“

“I'd definitely recommend this place if you're in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. The service was fantastic, but the food wasn't a full A+. The duck I got was incredibly tender, the demi was unctuous as all hell, and the leek puree really brought everything together, but the skin lacked any sense of crisp to it and my wife's pork chop was incredibly under seasoned.“

“Reserved deck area for a meeting/working dinner. Meal was very enjoyable. So much more I want to try on the menu, so will go back. Not the best meeting space, though. Lots of noise echo and not all of the wall plugs were working for chargers. But that won't keep me from eating there again. Food was delish!!“

“The summit has been one of my favorite places since the day it opened. They have hands down the BEST Mac and cheese I've ever had. (I literally call and ask if they have it, believe me, if you know, you know!) they have the most creative cocktails and an amazing staff. I love the chill vibe with candles and dim lights. I newly found an extreme love for their smash burger as well. I'll be back, often!“

“I ordered two Chicken Romano dinners and a grilled chicken salad for take out. The Chicken Romano was delicious. It was also very juicy and tender. The grilled chicken salad was very tasty and it was huge. The staff was very friendly to me when I picked up my order. I highly recommended Emil’s and will definitely be back.“

“The Eagle restaurant is a must try in Pittsburgh. Everything we tried was phenomenal. Fried chicken, fries, spoonbread, shrimp grits, mash potatoes and the fried chicken sandwich. Awesome service, great selection of beer only draw back is they don't have a full bar. We will be back!“
