New American Restaurants near Pleasant Hills, PA

“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!“

“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!“

“We had the pleasure of visiting Altius for the first time, and it was truly delightful. The entire staff was kind and welcoming, making our experience all the more enjoyable. The food surpassed our expectations. A special thanks goes to our server, Jacob, whose attentive service truly enhanced our evening. We are grateful for his professionalism and warm demeanor.“

“just a beautiful experience from beginning to end. the outside deck is covered from elements, and very delightful. service was efficient, friendly, yet informal. food was excellent, with the Romanesco cauliflower and eggplant appetizers, and the pasta, salmon and pork chop ordered by our table. each was done perfectly. great drink menu, wine list and limited yet tasty dessert list. have the brownie in the skillet. will definitely return“

“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.“

“We have enjoyed Eleven for many years and this visit did not disappoint. Pre dinner service at the bar was outstanding and attentive. Veal & Pork Meatballs / Scallops appetizer was delicious. Tenderloin and pasta dinners were on point. Seating is the only area we seem to be challenged with when we go. Booths are always taken and end up in a less desirable table.“

“We've been here a ton of times, this time for my son's 18th birthday. We booked the 5 course experience and it was totally worth it! Danny, our waiter, was the beat We've ever had! Thanks for making everything very memorable and fun!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“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“

“Great location for dinner before Heinz Hall or Benedum Center shows. We had cocktails at the bar while waiting for our table. Service was prompt, professional and the cocktails were prepared perfectly. Our bar tab was seamlessly transferred to our table when we were seated. Appetizers: tuna tartar, bone marrow and lobster bisque. Entrees: Seared Scallops on a bed of crab risotto with crispy kale, Filet mignon with potatoes. Desserts: Coconut cake, creme brulee and chocolate mousse pot. Every item was prepared and served excellently. The presentation was lovely. Food taste and temperature was perfect. Portions were very nice and we all commented that we were able to finish our entire meal including appetizers and desserts without feeling overstuffed. I could eat the scallops and chocolate mousse dessert every day, they were outstanding. The staff is obviously top notch and well trained. The vibe is just very relaxing and enjoyable. We were able to easily carry on a conversation during our meal. I would highly recommend and we will definitely return.“

“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.“

“My Wife and I have been to pretty much every high-end Steak restaurant in Pittsburgh and the Vandal consistently has the best Steak we have had. We had the Tomahawk Ribeye for two and it was extremely tender, succulent and tasty. I believe the Vandal's ability to consistently provide the best steak experience is due to the Sous Vide cooking of the steak initially, with a grill or sear before service. And don't forget about perfect twice fried frites! Everything was great as well as great service.“

“I visited Bar Botanico roughly 1 month ago. I entered the building and almost turned around out the door because it looked crowded. The host politely shouted out "we have room for two" so my partner and I returned back. He let us know he could get our drink order while we waited for a two top table to clear which he assured us would happen soon. My partner has severe peanut, tree nut and shellfish food allergies and the host asked us immediately about our allergies. While my partner got beer (allergy comfort zone), they ensured my drinks were made in a separate shaker and let him know that he could try them if he wanted since they made them separate and left out any allergens. This was a lovely place for someone with allergies and it was really unexpected and wonderful. I will definitely be back. Oh I forgot to add the drinks were delicious, I enjoyed watching the bartenders work. We did not eat here so I can't speak to the food but very happy with everything else we experienced.Dietary restrictions: Very allergy friendly/accommodating.“

“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.“

“Leilani is the best server ever!!! She's so nice and she took care of us nicely. She made my friends and I laugh so much!!! GIVE HER A RAISE. Anyways the food was good and the atmosphere was amazing!!Dietary restrictions: There's a gluten-free menu!!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu!!“

“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!“

“My husband and two children stopped here for dinner tonight. We had the spinach artichoke dip, chicken Romano, kids spaghetti and meatball, kids grilled cheese and the chicken special (honey mustard chicken). Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. We will absolutely be back. What a gem!“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our first visit. Very pleased. Nicely made cocktails. The loaf of fresh buckwheat focaccia with herbed olive oil was addicting. I had a tasty seafood linguine loaded with shellfish, calamari, shrimp, and fish in a mild white wine sauce. My wife enjoyed several small plates; the finocchiona and duck prosciutto followed by the shrimp. She liked all of them. Kate, our server, was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu options. It's definitely a good choice for a really good meal.“

“The best meatloaf (8.5/10) in Pittsburgh by far. So much so that it was sad when our table of 4 was only able to get the last 3 meatloaves.Sells out super fast, portion is a bit less than filling but taste is amazing.Settled on a sausage pappardelle (7.5/10).French onion soup was delicious, 9/10.Deviled eggs 8/10.Baked bread with their special orange tasting butter 8/10.“

“This was our first time visiting Blue Sky, but we don't plan for it to be our last! Between us, we had the k-town ribs appetizer, the soup of the day, which was beef chili with cheddar, and chimichurri steak tacos. The fresh, innovative food was very good and served promptly. The service was outstanding. Our server was friendly, super knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely interested in seeing that our needs were met. We also had the unexpected pleasure of hearing a soloist named Katie Simone perform while we are. Great voice and pleasant commentary. All in all, it was a great date.“

“This was our first time at Carmella's. We had heard many great things about the place and we were not disappointed. The service was very friendly. Everyone was very attentive without being overbearing. The food was brought out in a nice timely manner. Each dish we had tried was excellent. We tried several small plates and one was better than the next. The cocktails were excellent and the collective whiskey list was unsurpassed by no other establishment I have visited worldwide. Overall, a wonderful experience and we will definitely return with friends.“

“Super awesome staff! I when during a rush and this super nice older lady was staffing the whole place. Despite all the customers she kept the drinking coming fast! Food is also pretty decent, it’s a very small limited menu but they have some good sandwiches. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a quick drink or something to munch on.“

“This place IS worth a visit, Of course, the mussels, I like traditional white wine and butter. Get the large, trust me:O) But I have had many of the things on their menu, and never disappointed. Flatbreads, Burgers ..etc. I am confident that you will not visit there and be unhappy with your order.“

“My partner and I came here for our late Valentine's dinner and were very impressed. The menu had a great selection of entrees, and I was super pleased with my meatloaf. We got the deconstructed smores for dessert which was the perfect end to our celebration dinner. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all our questions regarding drinks. We will be back!“

“A fusion Korean restaurant I found in Pittsburgh on my first trip!!The soju punch cocktail and kimchi nacho were delicious~I also had curry katsu, but the curry was a bit sweet.Even on nights when it's pouring with rain, the place is full and the waiting lines are long. Waiting for something delicious is just an extension of happiness^^“

“Nice space, decent wine selection. Staff was very nice. I look forward to going back, especially to see a show there. However, the Duck Tacos: AVOID. Duck? Yes. Goat cheese? A bit. Pine nuts? A few, I think. Pomegranate gremolata? Not exactly. Cilantro? Missing. Maybe Saturday afternoon is the wrong time to order them.“

“We have dinner here at least once a week. Tonight we took my daughter and Son In Law to dinner. We decided to try the Sicilian tonight. OMG!! it was the best Sicilian we ever had. The crust was perfect and the Sicilian sauce was phenomenal. Highly recommend trying it. Shelly Pie you killed it tonight. Keep doing what you are doing.“

“I ordered the crab cake meal and I must say, they were better than the crab cakes I've ordered in Maryland. They were filled with lump crab meat and barely any filler. Delicious. My friend got Red wine braised short rib and also was impressed. Our server Matt was phenomenal. He explained the menu, was friendly and just great service all the way around. The restaurant is located inside the Sheraton Hotel in Station Square and was classy, clean, and inviting. I'll definitely return!“

“it was a great place to go until tonight when we went to dinner the service we received from the waitress was fantastic the food was fantastic but when we went to leave we stopped to play one of the games and ended up being harassed by I guess one of there drunk customers. the sad thing about the situation is one of the owners sat there and let it go on. the guy was very aggressive to us wanting to fight all we did was sit down to play one of the machines and didn't realize the volume was on low. this guy pushed his way in between me and my brother put his hand in the machine and lowered the volume he could of just asked us so my brother told him not to put his hand on the machine and he went off now one of the owners were sitting by him letting this go on. he kept going back to the bar and the machine. he made a comment that we played the machine because we saw him playing it. we were in the table area. as we were leaving we walk by him and he yells oh leaving without fighting me. then he was running his mouth with the f word now the owner is still sitting there letting this go on. I started walking back towards the guy and the owner stops me and said you were leaving so leave. then there was a lady sitting at the same table and she got up and talked to us and walked us out. she was very nice. then there was another drunk woman at the bar and as we were leaving she started running her mouth. I never expected this kind of behavior in this restaurant it was always so peaceful and enjoyable. so I guess here it shows that you must have to be a drunk to get appreciated for you patronizing Coaches. very sad have to find another place now.“

“First time here and it was great! Steak was cooked perfect and the burger was one of the best I’ve had lately! Everything was also such a great price with the 3 course menu deal and the bartenders were great as well! Excited to return for happy hour!“

“Very pleasant & friendly wait staff. They are so accommodating and welcoming. Food is awesome!! Lot of variety. My mom recently passed away last week & this was her favorite place to eat ❤️She Loved the wing special & wedding soup. I will miss our weekly visits together ?“

“Great margaritas! Amazing little bar on the strip! I can't believe we almost missed it! Emma treated us so well, helped explain the beers to find what we liked and the ambiance was intimate! Perfect for a date night or to watch the game!“

“I like to go different places and try new things. So when I don't feel like doing the most and still want to be social, Tammy's is that laid back spot where I can enjoy a good drink, great wing, and have an enjoyable night with friends. ?“

“Leo is a hidden gem on the north side with a well-curated draft list, great bar snacks (oh, my! those pickled quail eggs), a massive collection of vinyl, and infused liquors you can have made into just about any cocktail (or better yet, let the tender decide). What more could you possibly need?“

“Don't judge the book by its cover. This restaurant looks odd from outside, but as you enter, it's very welcoming. The ambiance and food are really nice. I definitely recommend it.Kid-friendliness: Shrimp steamed dumplings were good for kids , and customized chicken/ shrimp lomein can be ordered with less spice and oil.“

“Big fan of this dive bar! Perfect place if you need quick food and a drink, and can sit at the bar. Also great to go with a group after a long bike ride on the trails! All the wraps are 10/10. Pump track wrap and rail trail are my favorite. I've had the best burgers ever here but they are not consistent. I think it depends on who is cooking because sometimes the are cooked to perfection, and other times they are dry and over done. But the toppings are always unique and good. Service is what you would expect from a dive bar, always friendly and attentive but let you be with your food and beer. Cool place.“

“Super super friendly staff very fast with drinks and our food came out pretty quickly as wellAlot of food I got 12 wings big wings and decent amount of frys and it was karottate no I didnt sing but great place to get something to eat and or drinkParking: Big parking lot“

“Love seeing a staff that support each other. Pick up extra when another is swamped. The folks serving me had backup and I watched the bartender get servers and bussers jump in when 20 orders came in. Maybe a small thing but it certainly adds to the kindness of the staff. Thank you!“

“I had an amazing blackened salmon salad tonight with one of the best dressings I’ve ever had, hands down! The honey lemon vinaigrette is perfection, don’t pass it up when you go! I’m pumped to come back and try more of it all. Everything looked amazing on the menu, the food I saw come out looked great, the staff and atmosphere were all on point, music and the whole vibe was perfect. Its casual wear with a nice patio, different rooms for parties, everything was super clean and it has great food and drinks! Don’t miss this spot when you’re in Mt Washington next time!!“
