Went on a Wednesday night for wing night, got sat right away. Food and drinks came out super quick! The minimum order is 6 wings per flavor, we tried three different flavors and were impressed with them all. read more

Hands down my favorite spot on the mount. Great vibe, good food, staff is always great.

I ate here a few months ago with a friend and had never before heard of the place. It's a traditional bar 'n' grill, typical of what you'd find in Pittsburgh city neighborhoods. Now I only tried the hot wings, complete with celery and ranch dressing. Can you say Crispy, Crunchy, Tangy, So Tender It Might As Well Be A Communion Wafer Splendor? MMMmm. I used to take hot wings for granted. Kaib's made me fall in love all over again. I remember when they used to call 'em Wing Dings around here back in the day. Minor caveat: The joint is loud and rowdy on a Saturday night. Pick a different time to dine here unless you have a high tolerance for the obnoxious and the imbibed. read more

The wings are delicious! I had the boneless Hyena and they tasted sooo good! Thursday night is trivia night and it is a lot of fun! There seems to be regulars for trivia so it gets pretty competitive! We also had a great waitress who always made sure we had drinks! read more

Went to Bingham Tavern for Trivia night, and ordered the wings. The food was great and and the beers were cheap. What more could you ask for when playing Trivia! read more

Out of the way restaurant/bar. Get the wings - they are very good. The Interior is inviting and spacious, but a little noisy (but then again it is a bar). read more

The food here is AWESOME!!!! AWESOME! But the downside is, and it's a really big downside for me as I have a sensitivity to loud noises, is that it's really loud. I've never been in the bar section, I can't imagine how loud it is in there, but even for a weeknight dinner I could barely hear the people at my table and kept having to ask them to repeat themselves. Too bad, because like I said before, the food is out of this world. I've switched to getting take-out from Bigham Tavern because I want the food but don't want to sit in the restaurant. read more

Just moved up to Mt. Washington and this may be my new 'go to' when I don't feel like cooking. They have an extensive menu that covers all the apps you want when drinking (lightly or heavily) as well as heavy entres that can certainly put you in a food coma. I ordered the Bayou Burger with a side of onion rings...and 'tickled pickles' because I can't resist deep fried pickles. The burger was cooked perfectly and stuffed with jalapenos and pepper jack marrying the flavor with onion crisps and sriracha mayo on top. It had two fried pickles which I tossed on the burger and the bun was good too. All in all a good experience for my mouth. That isn't the best part though. They have a pretty extensive beer menu from your lite garbage to your heavy IPAs and lagers- Throw in a few ciders, a nice wine menu and a weekly 12 draft rotation with TV's at every convenient angle and outdoor seating now...You have my new watering hole. Only draw back is they charge for every addition of anything. .50 for sauce, .75 to add this, $1 to add that. They are not pricey overall, but add a few things to your meal here and there and you'll find yourself spending no less than $30 for a burger and a drink or two. read more

We had been to Bigham for the elite event which sampled their brunch. Last night was our first dining experience. It was late night (like 11, lol) and i remembered that bigham had a Wednesday wing night. I called to see how long it lasted and the host told me til 1am! how awesome. We ended up going with our friend and having a nice time. First, we ordered chips and salsa. The salsa had to have been homemade. It was extremely fresh and delicious! The chips had a great lime taste to them and were also fresh. Wings are 44 cents on Wednesday. You order them by 6 per flavor. I went with tequila lime and gnarley. I also ordered a side of fries. My friends also ordered wings (general tso) and one also ordered a cheesesteak. The wings were great! Gnarley was an awesome flavor and was described in the menu as hot, garlic and sweet bbq. Tequila lime had the obvious plus a dash of hot sauce. The fries were fresh cut seasoned perfectly. Ranch was $1 but was great and it was a generous amount. The only hiccup was that my friend asked for no cheese on cheesesteak (weird, huh) & it had cheese. They remade it and service was beyond friendly. Other than that we completely enjoyed everything. I love late night food joints so no doubt we'll be back. That salsa is calling my name! They had an awesome menu. Check it out read more

Hubby and I strolled to the Bigham from the incline early Friday evening on the recommendation of one of the incline staff. We started with the tickled pickles which were perfect and then he had the giant fish and house chips. Another winner. I had the Greek salad that was fresh, tasty and perfectly sized. No anchovies was a bummer, though. Service was pleasant and knowledgeable, but stretched a bit. Atmosphere was lively and clientele was every age 1-100. Ok. 1-75... Liked the mix. One missing star because we thought there could be a chance that the table or benches could simply collapse without notice - I kept a firm hold of my Angry Orchard. Would definitely go back. Much easier to fix a table than a menu + a happy staff makes or breaks a restaurant experience. Next time wings! read more

I heard from several friends that Bigham has the best wings in Pittsburgh. I went here specifically for the wings and they did not disappoint. Although very delicious, another place holds the record in my book. I ordered the honey habanero wings, which sound like they'd be hella spicy, right? Nope, not at all. It's more sweet than anything. The sauce was more of a glaze as opposed to a wet sauce. For those sensitive to spice, you might be able to feel the heat. However, I couldn't taste any traces of habanero, which was ok for me. They still tasted pretty good and not like anything I've had before. To go with my wings, I had homemade chips which were what you'd expect, really. Crunchy, potato-y. Overall, cool bar with good food. I'll be back. read more

Bigham Tavern - Honey habanero wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The service is always pretty decent and the food is always GREAT! They have so much to choose from whether it's good or drinks.

We came here to have cocktails and watch game five on the NBA finals. The bartender was very attentive and answered our questions. The Rainbow Seeker Cider on draft is very good for a hot summers day. Good place to watch a game, however they did not put it over the speakers until the fourth quarter. I cannot comment on the food, as I did not eat any. I would recommend this bar. read more

If there was ever a restaurant that personified Pittsburgh, it would certainly be Bigham Tavern. Tucked away on Mount Washington on the corner of Bigham St and Virginia Ave, this is certainly a stop worth making. The atmosphere here oozes that, "hometown-feel-good" kind of vibe, which is only amplified by the wonderfully attentive and friendly staff. Upon walking in, you have the option to sit at the large wrap around bar, or take a seat in one of their several booths and tables. There truly is not a bad seat in the house! With regard to the menu: Bigham is infamous for their Wednesday wing night! Also affectionally referred to as Wingsday, the wings are served as flats&drums, or boneless if that's your kind of thing. Yuengling is on special for $3 and wings are $0.50. Very reasonably priced, given the national chicken wing shortage (yes, that's seriously a thing). There's also a wide variety of sauces to choose from, Cluckin' Hot being my absolute favorite (Yes, it is indeed Cluckin' Hot) and Jackal coming in second (think, hot honey mustard). In addition, BT is also known for their mac and cheese, which is well worth whatever amount of calories are in it! The mac and cheese can be served several different ways, and is always brought out in a toasty skillet with a fluffy pretzel bread stick to complete for dipping, yum! You cannot go wrong choosing anything on the menu. Living in the Pittsburgh area, you see several restaurants come and go. Brigham Tavern is one of those places that has become a PGH fixture, and for good reason! read more

I had a private party event at Bigham Tavern and it was phenomenal! Working with Dominique, the event coordinator, was an amazing experience! She handled everything and made sure it was exactly what I wanted! The food, decorations, and extras were all out of the park! Out server at the party, Sydney, was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond! I couldn't recommend Bigham enough for a private party experience. read more

Had the hummus for appetizer and wings two ways. Food was great, outdoor covered area.

Just finished our Big Ham Easter dinner- delicious! My elderly Mother was SO happy to get a traditional Easter meal, since no one got together and cooked this year. We are all stuffed full, and there is ham left over- did not even get into the pie (yet!). Loved the roasted vegetables, the potatoes were fantastically creamy, and everything was right on the mark. Priced so reasonably, for so much delicious food- thank you Bigham Tavern!! We were pleased to help out our local businesses, but you really made it worthwhile! read more

I came to Dominique and the staff for a very last minute event request. Everyone was super accommodating. The food was reasonable priced and yummy. The service was great. I would recommend having your next event here read more

When it comes to bar food Bigham Tavern has it alllll figured out! I've been here a handful of times and it has been insanely packed everytime. Last night we used the no wait app and we were seated about 45-50 minutes after putting in our reservation. I would recommend checking this app before you go because chances are there will be a wait. It was a Wednesday night & a Pen's playoff game but it is still impressive how crowded they get on a weeknight. The atmosphere is your typical bar, nothing too special about it. They do have specials basically every night which is a bonus. We typically go for wing night, which I think is 40 cents/wing. The only bad thing I can say about Bigham is the service has been kind of slow everytime we've been there. But it's to be expected because of how busy they usually are. Bigham's wings are seriously to die for. I have always loved wings and these have got to be some of my favorites! A few stand out flavors include: Gnarley, Honey Garlic Habanero, Hyenna, Hot Garlic, and Memphis Sweet. The wing list is so big, there is a flavor for everyone! If you are looking for some good wings, I would 100% recommend Bigham! read more

Bigham tavern is my go-to spot in Mount Washington! Their food is great and it's such a fun atmosphere. My friends I love to go for wing night (BT Originial can't be beat), trivia night, and to watch all the Pittsburgh sports games. If you're looking for a good local spot, Bigham is it! read more

This is it. My new, way too good junk-but-high-quality-junk-food-place. The menu sticks to the basics--wings, mac and cheese, sandwiches, burgers--but executes them in really elevated ways. Met a friend here to grab wings and beer. I'm not a wing person, really (not a fan of eating the skin,) but these I could eat a ton of. They're so good! Crispy on the outside, but not at all dry on the inside. Lots of flavors, many of which are doable for the spicy averse like me. There's one on the appetizer menu that is just heaven- grilled maple, bacon, bourbon wings with sea salt, cracked pepper, and scallions. (Icky Sticky Wings) YUM. If that's not awesome enough, they also have an appetizer of candied bacon! 3 strips for the piglet, 6 for the hog, brought out on a small plate. No fuss, just perfect. The beer selection is really good and changes seasonally. I got the Hoppy Blonde to start (which I was just so excited that they had a blonde ale, my hops hating brain ignored the hoppy part and ordered it anyway. Thankfully for me, it was just a hint of hops and not enough to make it unenjoyable.) i moved onto the Southern Tier 2xpresso, which I'm now going to look for all the time. So tasty. But the real reason I needed to write this review was the Mac and Cheese because holy crap! So damn good. I got the Smokehouse, which is made with Gouda cheese (and if you've stumbled on any others of my reviews, you know Gouda is precious to me,) pulled pork, and a Memphis bbq sauce, topped with breadcrumbs, and a huge pretzel stick on the side. YOU GUYS. I want to go back immediately, but I know when I do, I'll be torn between ordering the Mac and Cheese and a pulled pork sandwich because the pork in the mac was so perfect, I needed more. But since I'm planning on making this a regular haunt, I guess I can rotate that choice. read more

Wow, Bigham Tavern was phenomenal. Superb location. Very impressed with their menu, lots of great options, Hangover Helper Burger was absolutely incredible. I became great friends with the staff, who are all fantastic and super friendly. So thankful for the addition to the neighborhood. read more

Very new to the area so it's been an experience finding good places to enjoy. I was so surprised at how affordable it was and how fast the service and food was. The food was seriously phenomenal. I had a great time and will definitely be back as much as possible. Great atmosphere and great staff! Thank you!!!! read more

It has been quite a long time since I have been to this establishment. I have been telling myself that I had to come back and try it out again and I am happy I was finally able to. The place has certainly changed since I was last here. The hostess was a little unusual with her etiquette, being very passive and not very welcoming, but I wasn't going to let that ruin my spirits! The dining room was clean and had plenty of seating, with booths and tables. There are TVs in every view point, no matter where you are sitting. We were greeted by our server within a couple minutes. The server was very friendly and was knowledgeable about the menu items and was able to give good advice on what to order for the wing flavors (there are over 30 to choose from!)I found the jackal flavor very good and the wings were nice and crispy. I had also ordered their buffaloaded tots. Can we say yum! They were crispy on the outside and when you bite into them you get a great taste of cheese and bacon! So good. All week long they have amazing specials on drink and $5 apps during happy hour(which is 5-7pm Mon-Fri). They have 17 beers on tap and plenty of bottled beer(over 100). Every Tuesday they have acoustic music at 6/630pm. They also offer BBQ, build your own burgers, salads, all kinds of different Mac n cheese, flat beads and even tacos! With the food being as tasty as it was and the service so attentive and pleasant, I will definitely be coming back to try more items! Definitely a thumbs up from me! read more

Great food, and exceptional service ---thank you Al at the bar, and your recommendations on the menu- we look forward to returning! Hangover helper burger was ridiculously delicious and I highly recommend the honey badger sauce for the wings! read more

Three of my friends and I took advantage of the "Restaurant Week Menu" for the last day of the specials. We very impressed with the food. We had a four course meal that included a grilled wedge salad and soup. There french onion soup was on point. The main course was amazing. And the dessert was vanilla ice cream with candied bacon. This was a surprisingly good combination. The atmosphere was nice and service was very good. The establishment was packed for a Sunday night. All and all I will return. read more

I'm a tourist who stumbled upon this place after riding the Duquesne Incline and seeing no other reasonably priced eat/drink options. Our server was Liz and she was rad! There were all kinds of beer options that were mostly $3-$5 per pint. Everything we ordered was good. Caesar salad, pork poppers (happy hour app), cheesesteak. I really liked the Gnarly and Honey Garlic Habanero flavored wings. Also, we had our 7 year old and 13 month old with us who were welcomed during daytime hours. read more

Bigham Tavern - Our bill after indulging ourselves. No regrets! Liz was an awesome server too. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Some of the best wings I have ever had and I've been to the Anchor in Buffalo. Staff was very helpful, friendly and provided excellent service. Plenty of TVs and moderately priced for great food. When in Pittsburgh, we always go to the Bigham. read more

Don't come here expecting to play music that you like. The staff will skip your picks if they don't like it. Service was rushed. Definitely won't be back here. read more

We came here the day after the St pattys day celebrations in town for Sunday brunch. Since Sunday was actual St Patrick's day and the college basketball championships were on, there was definitely a rowdy crowd! We put our name on the list and were told 30-40 minutes however we got a text saying our table was ready in 16 minutes. When we got there we decided to split 2 of the "tavern favorites" entrees. So we got the chicken and waffles as well as the breakfast Mac n Cheese. We also got 2 breakfast tacos to split as an appetizer (and we added avocado on them). The tacos came out first and they were very good. I could've just gotten a few more of those and been fine. When the entrees came I dug into the chicken and waffles first and it was great! The Mac n cheese was a little bit runny, as I think Mac n cheese should be gooey/cheesy and stringy. It was a more watery sauce which may have diluted the flavor a bit. I put some hot sauce on it to make it a little better but I only had it through about 4 bites anyways because I was full. My boyfriend wasn't very fond of the mac n cheese either but we weren't mad because we decided to try something new. I also can give them the benefit of the doubt and say the dish may have been a little off from having a kitchen that was backed up with orders. Either way we will be back to try more! We didn't get any drinks but everyone else's mimosas looked good. Next time we will! read more

So inconsistent lately. I order take out or dine in almost once a week if not every other week. I feel like I've run into so many issues lately ranging from barely any sauce in my wings, to cold fries, to soggy sandwiches. Sometimes it's great but I'm sadly getting more turned off with each visit. read more

Solid wings (not the very best in the 'burgh in my opinion, but definitely up there). Excellent place to watch Steelers or Pens (I think there are about 4 TVs visible at a minimum from every seat in the establishment). Average/slightly above average beer selection. Overall, pretty damn good. This place - as other reviewers will tell you too - used to be Kaib's. Kaib's sauce lives on (now called BT's Original) thank the good Lord. They really did an excellent job cleaning the place up. It totally went from solid dive bar that just so happens to have decent wings to solid Pittsburgh bar (which is synonymous with sports, to me). My advice: expect a dive and be wildly impressed. read more

My friends are obsessed with this place and go here often for the bar scene. Good selection of booze overall. I'm giving it 3 stars because the food was super good (get the buffalo chicken quesadilla - you won't regret it), but the service was slow. After reading other reviews I guess that in that regard it is usually a hit or miss. Definitely worth the time it takes you to find a parking space. read more

Overall a great experience! The service was on point! The food was plentiful and delicious! Beer and cocktail menu was excellent! Outdoor seating is available. I would definitely go back! read more

Favorite place ever. I find myself here about once a week, and do not plan on changing that any time soon! The atmosphere is lively and fun. This place is always crowded- so just be prepared. They have great happy hour specials and a lot of different drinks options (both beer and cocktails), that are changing often. Appetizer- you have to get the hot pepper cheese balls Sandwich- my favorite veggie burger in town! My husband says the Buffalo chicken sandwich is amazing too. GET THE WINGS! gnarley! Service is always SUPER nice and accommodating. Sara (I believe is the manager) has always been more than helpful. The food can take awhile- so grab a drink and be patient. Only complaint is the brunch menu. You cannot get anything that is not on it and the options aren't that great. So we usually wait until after brunch to go for our beer mosas! read more

I visited this place years ago when it was still Kaib's. It was decent, a little dingy and the food was average. Whoever bought the place did a very good job at transforming it! The place looks updated and the food is awesome! With countless wing sauces and regular dining food as well incase you're not one for bar food. Prices are about average, could be a little cheaper but the clean atmosphere and service makes up for it. They also have great drink specials as well. We've been going on Sundays for $3 Blue Moons. The bartenders are also very nice and helpful. Another positive is the plethora of TVs. I've never been here in the day, but there are two dining rooms attatched from the bar that seem pretty nice. Not sure if they're open after normal "restaurant" hours. read more

A 4.5 star lunch and dinner with a 2 star brunch equals 3 stars all around. I need to start off by saying that, for the past few years, this is probably my most frequented neighborhood food joint. I order food at Bigham at least twice a month. I've had way more good than bad experiences here. I love the build your own burger, build your own Mac & Cheese, and build your own salads. The soups are good and the hummus is out of this world! They have the second best wings in town and an extensive wing sauce list. It's definitely worth it to check this place out on Wednesday (wing night). I've been here twice for brunch. Once on purpose and once by accident (I told myself I'd never go back for brunch but forgot brunch ran until 2pm on weekends) Both times it took well over an hour to get our food and food came out cold. A dry, crumbly, and cold waffle is not the best way to start your day. On the second brunch go around 1 out of 4 of us enjoyed what we ordered. So disappointing! Service used to be absolutely amazing, but I've noticed that it's not quite as consistent as of late. read more

I visited Bigham Tavern for the summer session of Restaurant Week - the promise of bacon chipotle ice cream drew me in. Since it was a Monday, I was seated quickly and the server was prompt in handing over menus and taking my drink order (and she seemed to check on me nearly every 3 minutes, which seemed excessive, but better than the alternative). I went with the restaurant week menu - pork belly and white bean soup, a salad with poached pears and goat cheese, an appetizer with pulled pork three ways, a smoked pork loin entree with julienned vegetables and a potato fritter, and the infamous bacon chipotle ice cream. The soup was good, but nothing special - it tasted almost exactly like the ham and bean soup my grandma used to make, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The salad wasn't what I was expecting since the menu description mentioned pancetta and I didn't notice any meat. Also, the salad contained just the teensiest bit of balsamic reduction - it could have used a bit more. The tri-pork crisp appetizer was my favorite part of the meal; it was pulled pork three ways - Mexican, American, and Asian. However, I bit into a huge glob of straight wasabi on the Asian one - wasn't expecting that. Otherwise, this app was pretty great. The smoked pork loin tasted delightfully smoky, and the potato fritter was delicious as well. My julienned vegetables weren't exactly cooked, though - the zucchini was, but the carrots were as firm as if they were raw. The flavors were good, but there was just something really off about those carrots. As for the ice cream, honestly, I was disappointed. By the time it got to me, it was halfway melted, so it was more like a cold soup with a dollop of ice cream floating in it. I could hardly taste the bacon, nor the chocolate, because the chipotle overpowered *everything*. This was like chipotle ice cream with cocoa powder and some bacon bits - not what I was expecting, and not necessarily something I want to eat again. In summary, it was a good meal for the price - 4 courses for $20.15 is a crazy good deal - but there were too many inconsistencies for me to give it more than 3 stars. read more

Love this place! Great food, great bartenders, great atmosphere!!! Highly recommended for a night out especially for wing night read more

Finally made it here after my coworkers have been telling me to come here for a long time. I got the grilled romaine salad, which was soo good! I never would've thought to grill romaine, but I'll be doing that at home now. It satisfied my craving for grilled food but without being greasy. I topped it off with grilled chicken, and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. read more
