American Restaurants near Pleasant Hills

“One of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat. The food is always great. I recommend their chicken rancher hoagie and their Baton Rouge shrimp pasta. The drink specials are always great too if you're not looking to eat. Even their kid menu is great, my kids love eating here.Kid-friendliness: They have a dining room separate from the bar and a great kids menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to get in.“

“This is a local haunts for us TJ folks & we decided to bring our old high-school friends....as always Bri is an amazing server & the rest of the staff are friendly & right on top of making sure we always have drinks! The remodel is definitely a big improvement & I can't wait to bring them back when the patio is open!“

“Went for all you can eat & was really impressed, all the food was delicious best crab legs I have had in years you literally Crack them open with hands & get all the meat,, I also had shrimp,lobster & filet which was also very good. We will be going back!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food was generally good. The menu is small on Tues. The Pretzel app was good. The Cesar salad was OK, lettuce needed more dressing. Beef cheek was tasty. The chocolate desert was very good. Had a good glass of wine. Price was high for what we got.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“If I could leave a 9 star review, I would! Truly unique and artisanal cocktails, an inspired small plate menu, and presentation of food and drink that is reinventing and exceeding any expectations I ever could have dreamt up. Giuliana is a thorough, knowledgeable, and all around classy server.“

“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?!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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'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.“

“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 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!“

“Came in for dinner on Sunday and the place was pretty busy. There was a Pens game on and several tvs were showing the game and the surround sound was playing the game, as well. The staff were super friendly and quick to take our order. Two women were both bartending and serving the tables, but we never had dirty dishes or empty glasses for long. The pepperoni rolls were our favorite. We also had a 16" pizza with extra cheese and half sausage & bacon. The pizza was ok! I'd say 7.5/10. The sauce had great flavor. My brother had the special chicken sandwich, parmesan style. He said the flavors were great, but he wasn't a huge fan of the bread. It wasn't toasted and after a few bites, it was totally soggy. There are two 1-person bathrooms and they were both clean, smelled like strawberries (lol), and were stocked with soap and paper towels.“

“Fabulous food, atmosphere and people! Love the staff and the locals who hang out there. What an amazing place. Ms G made my husband many special dishes to fit his diet while he was hospitalized. Such an amazing restaurant in so many aspects. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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!“

“This place is absolutely amazing!!!! I came here with a large party of 10 and EVERYONE’s food was to die for. Some people got something sweet, some did savory….and they were all fantastic. LOVED that they had multiple Benedict’s to choose from. Service was also fantastic! 100000/10 would recommend.“

“Friendly bar staffFun drinksGood foodFun vibeGot the pierogi, which comes deep fried with the most incredible onion jam. The pierogi tasted like Mrs T's from the frozen section but that jam did laps around the restaurant. It was incredible.My friend got the pink drink which tasted like pink and white animal cookies.A fun place to stop on a stumble down Carson.“

“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.“

“As others have said, the Fancy Veggie Burger was easily one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. It’s hard to describe the flavor but it was absolutely delicious. Also the gluten free bun was perfect and I’m glad they offer it as many places don’t provide these alternative bun options. Fries cooked in veggie oil were superb and fresh and the rhubarb cocktail was like a slightly boozie lemonade making the meal even more enjoyable.“

“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.“
