“Service was great and the burger I got was delicious I would highly recommend you try it out when your in Pittsburgh“

“Yaba's is my favorite restaurant! We don't live close so we take a cooler and buy extra to take home. Their food is incredible, the people who run it and work there are very friendly and kind, and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. I look forward to a Yaba's trip everytime we're in the city!“

“Great food. We were tourists for a night staying in neighborhood. We ate somewhere that wasnt tasty and were feeling hungry later in evening. Tasty 2nd dinner. Kids and adults loved it. Burgers, fries, mac n cheese, choc shakes. All tasted great and orders were made correctly and fresh. and it wasnt over $100 for all of us like the 1st dinner was.“

“Husband said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. I had the turkey club on sourdough...also a winner.“

“The food was very tasty. The sweet potato fries were amazing. But it was a bit overpriced. The bar was crowded and some people brought in a dog that was accosting my food for a while. The service is not top notch: although the staff is friendly, one has to get up and get refills each time from the person serving drinks at the bar. The staff of the burger restaurant still expects a high tip though, and the POS terminals ask for tip starting at 15%, before the food is served.“

“I've been here twice now and here's my take:

Pros
- Food comes out hot
- Fried to perfection
- Popcorn chicken is super tasty with a nice blend of Chinese spices
- The spicy wings are really good too

Cons
- The fried chicken pieces are too big and not fried or have as much flavor as well as the popcorn chicken or wings
- Chicken burgers are too thick for my liking. it's way more meat than breading so you don't get to enjoy the crunch of fried chicken

I'd come back but only for the items mentioned in the Pros“

“Stick with the hamburgers!“

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“It’s a 9.5 out of 10… their chairs aren’t that comfortable but good and service is a 10!“

“Supereme Nachos were loaded with all the right toppings—perfect for sharing.“

“Absolutely phenomenal smash burger. They do it right and the fries are perfection. Will definitely be back“

“I had some good food and good beer. Location is nice (good parking) and all comes with it. Great people to talk to and I'm from 70+ miles away.“

“I moved to the area in June 2016 from Gibsonia I was referred to Danny's and it was the best "Move" I have ever made Over the years I have been treated like a VIP especially when I received my new leg in 2019 I use a walker and Danny's is so easily accessible and someone offers to get the door every time I have been around the world and I am proud to say that Danny's Bar and Grille sets the standard by which all other establishments are to be judged!

“Had dinner there Saturday first time. Treehugger burger and gearhead burger were very good as were the fries. Had risotto balls for appetizer, terrible. Risotto mushy and flavorless. Chef needs to add chicken stock, heavy cream and parm and not overcook. Coating was good and crisp. Will go back , but try meatballs instead!!“

“A wonderful addition to the mount. The atmosphere is upbeat. Industrial modern vibe with the decor. But the star is the food. The best fish sandwich in the Burgh. A prime rib sandwich on Mancini roll get an A with long sautéed onion and melted provolone. Hope others on Mt Washington and Duquesne Heights make it their go to spot.“

“Great food and atmosphere. Jenn is a fantastic waitress! Super service!“

“Great spot for unique food options and they always have a large beer variety.“

“Everyone there is super friendly and the food is amazing. Special shout out to the kitchen guys ❤️“

“Anthony loved Stack’d Chicken and fries. The staff were all amazing and we will return soon. If you haven’t been here yet please get here soon! Dr. Altier“

“The bar tender Stephany is a awesome young lady great personality and fun to talk too Beer selection always great too“

“Their sauces cannot be beat. Especially for people who have never tried vegan food. This is the spot! Family owned worth the drive if you don’t live nearby.“

“Great food , great atmosphere“

“Wonderful place, great food, drinks and amazing service“

“Friendly and fun atmosphere- attentive staff and great food- more than ample portions - We were in town from the central Florida area for the Steelers / Ravens game and looking for a place to eat post game.. and we found you!😊 thank you!“

“Probably my favorite sub I’ve have in Pittsburgh! And the fries are so good. Nothing fancy but the bread is fresh and they know how to make a good sandwich. Good portions for the price, and lots of options on the menu. Not the cleanest place I’ve ever been to but it adds to the character of the place.“

“Great Vibe And A Fantastic Menu With Excellent Service !“

“Amazing food and great menu selection! Clean and organized place. Got to try a new Mango Sticky rice smoothie and it was delicious! Tasty and super refreshing for summer. Service is excellent and food came out super fast! Definitely recommended if you want to try some authentic Thai/Asian street food!“

“Here for NFL draft. Food is awesome! Wings are excellent!“

“So delicious! My new favorite breakfast spot when I’m in Pittsburgh! And the freshly squeezed orange juice was AMAZING!“

“I've had pizza from here twice now. Both times I was very pleased. I recommend the seafood gourmet pizza. Compared to other restaurants where I've ordered seafood pizza, La Felice had better crust, was not greasy, and was less expensive. It was a good combination of sauce, toppings, and seasoning. The pizza was done on time and the service and staff was friendly. I will definitely eat there again.“

“Pretty easy ordering on the tablers up front. I went here two days in a row. First day was two hotdogs and cheese fries. The dogs are beef. Second day was a shack burger and it was pretty good too. Make sure you sign up for the app. Free stuff comes after.“

“As a celiac, it’s hard for me to find a place where I feel comfortable eating and can eat “normal”. Our meal last night checked both boxes! Chris was amazing and put me at ease. The food was delicious, and I loved all the flavors in the grapple burger! Thanks for being so good to the gluten free community!“

“I ate inside and they had a friendly waiter id say pretty kid friendly you can build youre own burger and the fries and burgers are absolutely amazing 10/10 I’ll definitely be coming back also gave free drinks to the mothers for Mother’s Day perfect dining“

“There are restaurants… and then there are institutions forged in the molten core of flavor itself—and Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe is not just an institution… it’s a full-blown, chili-slinging, cheese-drenched LEGEND. You walk in thinking you’re getting a hot dog. No. What you’ve actually done is step into a dimension where culinary restraint has been banished and replaced with one sacred law: “Put chili and cheese on it.” Hot dog? Chili and cheese. Fries? DROWN THEM. Burger? Absolutely disrespect it with chili and cheese. Your sense of self-control? ALSO smothered in chili and cheese. There are no rules here. No judgment. Only absolute, unapologetic excess. And the chili?? That’s not just chili. That’s a spiritual experience. That’s the kind of sauce that makes you question every other life decision that didn’t involve being within a 5-mile radius of this place. It doesn’t sit on the food—it claims territory. And then the cheese… oh the cheese… it doesn’t melt. It descends. Like some divine, golden waterfall of dairy righteousness just cascading over everything in sight like it’s fulfilling an ancient prophecy. But here’s where it gets UNHINGED… THE PRICE. I don’t know what kind of economic sorcery is happening behind that counter, but you can walk in with what feels like loose pocket lint and walk out with a tray that looks like it’s meant to feed a small militia. You check the receipt like: “Did I just rob them??” “Is this legal??” “Is someone going to stop me in the parking lot??” It’s not just affordable—it’s mythical. Like they’re operating on 1997 prices out of pure defiance of reality. Other places are out here charging luxury car payments for a sad burger and a handful of fries. Meanwhile, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe is like: “Here’s a mountain of food, covered in chili and cheese, for the price of your dignity. Enjoy.” This isn’t a meal. This is a reckoning. You don’t eat here—you submit.“

“You absolutely can't miss this place! The food is incredible, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home.“

“We wanted to try something new and wow this place was amazing. What a great choice! Once I saw cevappi (delicious Balkan Sausage) in the menu, I stopped looking. You can’t get it anywhere around here. That plus the amazing home fries that were super crispy and delicious. My husband loved his chicken schwarma which was super flavorful. I loved all the sauces in it too. You must come check it out. Everyone was really friendly and wanted to make sure you were happy which is rare anymore.“

“The bartender working Thanksgiving Day 2025 (Jeff?) was so kind and helpful, we invented a drink together when I couldn’t settle on anything he’d typically serve. He even offered to go pick up ingredients that he didn’t have on hand.
Thank you very much!! Such a cozy vibe and perfect for this snowy weather. ❄️“

“The food was exceptional. Steak done to perfection and pulled pork extremely delicious. I feel that the service was a little below average, but not bad. We would definitely go there again.“

“Tyrone was my host as well as server. He was polite, friendly and attentive. I came for the ALL YOU CAN EAT and happy hour apps. Everything I ordered came out fresh and hot. The wonton tacos were fabulous, the spinach dip and chips were okay. The Riblets tasted like they were off the grill and were 🔥🔥🔥 the fried shrimp was great, the buffalo boneless wings were yummy. I ordered the brownie bites and it was so tiny and cute. Tasted so good was gonna order another lol. Overall 31 +Tip I ate alot and was overall satisfied. This place was clean and very comfortable atmosphere.“

“Went there for the first time on a Saturday for dinner. Nice place with lots of options. Our server who was doubling as cook was super nice and answered all our questions and special requests. I got the Cranberry Poppins salad. It was fresh, delicious and very large. The rest of my party had the fish sandwich, the chicken tenders and fries and the Alcove Burger. Everyone liked their food. We left just as the band was setting up. Would definitely go back again.“

“Food is always great at Five Guys, so no complaints here. The staff was also very friendly. We had a newborn in the parking lot and had eaten out food in the car, so we were parked outside for a while (our baby then had thrown up so we were outside of the car cleaning up and such) and because of that a staff member came out and asked if we were okay which was really nice!“

“Went in for dinner tonight with my husband for a date night and it was awesome! All of the girls working were super friendly! Alexa was super sweet and did a great job! Good conversation and awesome vibes! Will definitely be back!“

“everything is the greatest! highly recommend this to all ages.“

“We went on a Saturday evening around 6:30 pm. We used the app to order, which was pretty difficult to get started. We got there about 5 minutes before our pick-up time, and got our food around 5 minutes past our pick-up time. The food was great! Hot and very good. We did not get drinks or shakes this time. We took advantage of their free cups of triple-filtered water.“

“Definitely, an experience took my grandmother out because the yard was closed, and we drove passes and saw a crowd of people. First, we thought it was a party because kids were playing in the middle of their yard and were able to find a parking space at the front very, very rare. She didn't want to sit outside, so we walked in. Both our faces were confused. One the beautiful employees from the first restaurant when you first walk in from the parking lot stopped what they were doing and explained the experience we was bout to have three separate restaurants in one building side-by-side each other three different menus and if you wanted to order from all three you could. It was very overwhelming, so we stuck with what we know chicken and salmon sandwich and fries with a salad from Elevate. There a twist to everything you buy, so if you bring your kids sn there funny about food, keep them home or head somewhere else you'll be wasting your money.“

“This place blew us away. The view was amazing, breath taking. The food to die for. The drinks on point. Prices were awesome for city. The staff hands down the friendliest staff I’ve ever had. My wife and I had a restaurant experience of a life time. I wish I could remember our waiters name, but he was the best. Dirty blond long hair, he needs a raise.“

“Great food and kind staff!“

“It’s a good place just don’t understand how 2 full blown alcoholics kept this open for this long“
