Braddock's is a small bar inside of the Renaissance hotel. We were in town for only one night, to go to the Pirates game, and we were staying at the hotel. After the game, we were pretty tired but up for a drink. We headed here immediately after the game, and the bar wasn't too crowded. Right around the time we finished our drinks, there was hardly any standing room left! I was happy with my $6 gin & tonic, but there wasn't much about the bar keeping me tuned in and interested in staying for another drink. During Happy Hour, all well drinks are only $4. There's also a small food menu. Worth a visit if you're staying in the hotel or passing by and craving a cocktail. Braddock's isn't really a place to party or consider a destination. read more

First of all, the atmosphere of the Renaissance itself is fantastic. I came here on the Cultural District's Winter Gallery Crawl last night for appetizers. Our waitress was cheerful and our drinks were never empty (I down water like a fish, so finding waitstaff that can keep up is impressive). I ordered the cheese board and my boyfriend ordered the "Strip District" mussels and frites. The mixed berry compote served with the board was phenomenal when paired with one of the spicy cheeses. Apples, crostinis, and roasted nuts added great texture and the cheeses themselves were yummy. The mussels were served with kielbasa to achieve the "Strip District"-esque theme. I can't decide what was better: the frites or just the aoli that they were served with. read more

I went on a Monday around 530 or so, and they weren't busy at all, we sat at the bar. Mimi, the bartender, was fantastic. We had Moscow Mules and I am very picky about them, and these were perfect! We had the zucchini appetizer and the soft pretzel appetizer, both were delicious. I got the filet, it was amazing. Pretty expensive, but very enjoyable. Service was great too. read more

Braddock's Rebellion in a restaurant located in the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh. It has a great menu for both lunch and dinner! I have eaten here many times and the food quality as excellent as well as the staff service! I have been served by both Jim and Michael in the morning, and they were both excellent and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you stop in and try it for yourself! read more

I Went to Braddock's for dinner with my fiancee. The synopsis: A reasonably executed yet uninspired meal. Dinner began with drinks. The drink selection was varied but we both chose cocktails. My fiancee's "Braddock Smash" and my "Moscow Mule" were both well made, though my drink was not served in the correct vessel. We chose the charcuterie board (half) for our opener, the selection of meats included no spectacular choices. I was reminded of a cold cut platter from the supermarket. Provided with the meal was a rather nondescript bread, with a well warmed butter sprinkled with sea salt. The meal took a pleasant turn as our entree arrived. A beautifully cooked (medium rare as requested) 18 ounce cowboy steak (ribeye). The steak was served on cooked yet still crisp asparagus spears and a bed of smooth mashed potatoes with what I can only guess was a veal demi glace. Truely the high point of the meal. Coming off of the well executed main course we moved on the dessert. At the servers recommendation we chose the croissant bread pudding. The dish arrived and looked amazing. This look was only skin deep. The interior was quite dry - a matter we remedied with additional creme anglaise and caramel sauce procured for us by our waitress. I enjoyed the meal well enough overall, though I doubt I would return. read more

Great atmosphere! The cocktails were made perfectly, the Bavarian pretzel appetizer was one of the best we ever had! Highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Hit or Miss? I've been here about 4 times in the last year, equally split with good and not so good, both in food and/or service. If there's a show that night, the place is busy, if it is a weekend, the place is busy. If it is a random Tuesday at 6:00, you might be the only people there. The specialty cocktails, albeit $10 are really wonderful, the Braddock Smash and Braddock's Revenge w jalapeno are our top 2. The bread they deliver is hot and crusty served with sea salt topped butter - can't ever go wrong there. Mussels are good, they come with crusty bread for the leftover broth. As for the beet/goat cheese salad, the 1st 2 times it was amazing, last time the beets were undercooked and the greens weren't dressed enough. But each time the fried goat cheese is the highlight! I've had steak & frites, spot on, tender and the sauce complimented it well. I've has the lobster gnocchi twice, generous hunks of lobster in a cream sauce with peas and asparagus, it's really, really, really good. I recommend a half order with a salad :) We've tried the ribeye, it was okay, it did take forever to come out. Last visit the sea scallops - were great portions and the polenta was yummy, but the scallops had a metallic taste, they brought a 2nd order, also metallic taste, also lacked that crust that a seared scallop should have. From home cooking scallops we have learned that all scallops are not equal and some come treated with STP a chemical preservative added to fresh scallops on the boat. Frozen scallops or 'dry' scallops do not have this added and will not pull a metallic taste. Sometimes people without sensitive tongues might not even notice a difference. STP also causes a scallop to absorb more water, hence losing the ability to get a crust. Really though, you can't blame it on the chef. It's the scallops fault, or whoever the supplier is. All in all, we won't stop going, it is a pleasant atmosphere, convenient to everything downtown and generally a great experience! I'd still recommend it to friends. read more

Thanks to Restaurant.com a friend and I were able to check out Braddocks for very little money (thanks to an online deal I was able to get a $25 gift card for $2!) We ate at Braddocks Street Side which is their small bar located just off of the lobby in the Rennesiance Hotel. We went for lunch around 1 o'clock so we had the whole place to ourselves with the exception of 2 other patrons. The bar can hold about 25-35 people so it may not be the ideal place for group happy hour. My friend and I each ordered the french onion soup and burger. The soup was a very generous portion, as it should be for $7. It was very tasty and extremely rich. Neither of us were able to finish it. The burgers were good, buth nothing too special. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for another deal on the Restuarant.com coupons because there are about 10 other things on the menu I would love to try. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could. Made reservations for the Easter Brunch buffet and when we get there today there is no buffet, just a brunch menu that only had breakfast options. I'm allergic to sugar & egg yolk so therefore there wasn't anything that I could really eat. I asked if they would cook me something else and they would not. The website didn't have brunch menu to view and when googling Braddock's Rebellion brunch menu it says it is a buffet. Noticed today that it was from last year. Entire day was planned around the buffet that they have every year except of course this year. They admitted that there were multiple other people that also thought it was a buffet. Wouldn't even refund my 10 dollars paid for parking nor would the manager come to talk to us. They need to get their website in order admit when they mess up. Customer service is everything. Won't ever go back there. read more

I will start out by saying that my friend is a chef there, so I am a bit biased, but the food really does stand on its own. J and I arrived at 7 pm on a Friday and it really wasn't as busy as I was expecting it to be. We were sat in a very comfortable booth in the back where I ordered the blackberry capirinha (or some such spelling). It's Brazilian, normally doesn't have blackberries in it, but is much better for it. Even if you don't want food, this is the place to go for drinks. The bartenders definitely know how to pour. (We have been to the bar in the past for some of the best bourbon drinks I have ever had.) The waitress brought us some fresh-made, warm bread with butter and sea salt. I am not sure the salt is necessary. Some salt and herbs would be nice though. But the bread was very good. We also got the braised short rib pierogies that are served on a bed of creamed leeks that tasted a lot like saurkraut, but milder. They were perfectly cooked and really tasty. For the main course, I had the mussels and frites in the Strip District sauce which was a tomato-garlic sauce with kielbasa and herbs. I get mussels a lot and while the mussels weren't the best I have ever had, the sauce certainly was. So much flavor packed into this tomato broth. There was really not enough bread for me to sop it all up. The frites were also awesome - crunchy and covered in sea salt and herbs. I think the salt was a bit heavy-handed, but it complimented the mussels very well. J had the pasta special - fresh-made pasta in a tomato broth with scallops, shrimp, zucchini and a hint of lemon. The scallops were smaller than we were expecting, but the flavor more than made up for it. The shrimp were huge and the whole dish was very filling, and yet still light and summery. Unfortunately, we did not have enough room for dessert (I think I ate a whole loaf of the bread myself), but we will definitely be back. read more

Color me unimpressed on almost every level. Came here for Saturday brunch with reasonably high hopes because we were staying in the attached Renaissance hotel. The menu sounded good and with limited promising brunch options in downtown Pittsburgh, I was happy to give it a shot. The trouble began almost immediately, when we had to wait almost 10 minutes for a table despite the restaurant being not that busy. It was just...bizarre. When we finally did sit down we ordered two orange juices, which tasted quite clearly like the bottled stuff you can buy at any airport, and ordered our food. It took about 35 minutes for them to cook up a stack of lemon ricotta pancakes, two scrambled eggs and an omelette. Again, the restaurant was not busy. It took another 10 minutes and two separate requests of two different waiters to procure a bottle of hot sauce. And this was perhaps Braddocks' foremost issue: every member of their small army of employees seemed more interested in marching around the restaurant with important-looking faces and empty hands than of actually doing, you know, things. All would have been forgiven had the food been wonderful, but it was just plain meh. My eggs looked and tasted like they had taken a nap before coming to the table. Pancakes were dry. Omelette was nothing special. I could have easily cooked up tastier food in my own kitchen. The food alone was probably 2.5 stars. Combined with the service, the total experience was more like 1.5 read more

Let me start by saying that as a recent graduate who's moving halfway around the world in a couple of months, if not for Groupon, I wouldn't have ended up here. It's costly. That said, I'm glad I got the chance to try it out. Braddock's American Brasserie is sort of half-attached to a hotel downtown. It's not a big place, mostly just a bar and a series of tables. The noise level is about right: You can have a conversation without feeling like everyone's going to hear you, but there's no trouble hearing the people at your table. The ambiance is slightly classy, but in jeans and a t-shirt I still didn't feel like I was under-dressed. We went for the burgers, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the Pittsburgher, which is topped with barbecue sauce (if I recall correctly,) a short-rib pierogie, and caramelized onions. It was delicious and monstrously heavy, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Sure, it was a bit messy, but totally worth it. Word of advice: Unless you're counting calories, get the fries, not the salad. The salad my buddy got was tiny, but they REALLY pile on the fries. For a place that makes a big deal of their whiskey selection, I'd have to say my Manhattan was mixed well, and they certainly didn't skimp on the liquor. That's good, because it was $9, so if anything had been wrong with it, it would have cost WAY too much. My friend got a plate full of scallops, and they were perfectly done. I generally don't like shellfish, so if I ate them and liked them, I'd recommend them as an appetizer to anyone. In the complaint department, I would say our waitress had to come back and ask us to remind her what we had ordered a couple of times, which wasn't really a problem, just sort of unusual. Also, my friend's burger was only okay, according to him. They promised him hot sauce, and they didn't really put much on it. If you're downtown, and looking for a decent burger, try this place. read more

Good local/regional beer selection. Fantastic bourbon selection. Great house-made Chips. If a person were to read my review of the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel they would see my reference to this bar, wherein one can have: Fun Laughs Snacks Conversation about Justin Bieber with Miss Samantha Pretty much an all-around good time. And I learned how to make a fruit fly trap with a wine bottle and a paper cone. That knowledge in and of itself is worth coming to a bar and killing some drinks. read more

Truthfully, we ate at this place because we stayed at the hotel and had a restaurant.com coupon. We paid $4 for the $20 coupon - had to use it. This restaurant serves mediocre food at a high price. Again, the coupon made us do it to ourselves. Would not eat here if we were paying the full tab. There are so many better options in the city. Do yourself a favor...keep scrolling. read more

Love the food here! Came here at christmas, it is the only place open nearby, try it love it! Especially the brownies!! read more

Great. Tasty. Wonderful staff. Dinner- fancy menu. I had "Poor man's" lasagna with ricotta stuffed meatballs. Perfect. Covered in mozz cheese. Wish I hadn't filled up on the Mac n cheese balls app before, but those were great too. Had zero room for dessert. Waiter was so friendly, and cheerfully accepted a minor side substitution on my partner's "perfect" scallops dinner (smashed Yukon gold potatoes in place of polenta). Drinks were always topped off. Casual dress, but the staff are all pleasant and professional. Here on a Saturday before a Steelers game. Lots of fans around but the restaurant wasn't crowded at 730pm. The hotel lobby is beautiful. Breakfast- big b-fast buffet with build your own omelette & waffle station. Game day. Most staff all in Steelers gear. Still very friendly but professional. Asked for "well done", crispy bacon which was spot on. Recommend. Will come back. read more

My friend and I started off in the bar. Our drinks were amazing. The bartender was great. He really paid attention to detail. We had a great waitress named Autumn at the restaurant. I ate the crab cakes and asparagus. It was amazing. My friend had the steak and she said she was able to cut her filet with her butter knife it was so tender. The salads were good as well. The only reason I give this four stars is because the restroom is out in the hotel, which is where their restaurant is located, and upstairs. Maybe this is a matter of them not having any space for a restroom in the restaurant, but it was annoying. Other than that, everything was perfect. read more

We ate here about 6 months ago and had a nice experience and then again last night and really enjoyed it. As you think about going here, you really don't want to eat in a hotel (Renaissance) restaurant and feel like it can't possibly be good but give it a try. It is extremely convenient for hitting before a show next door at the Byham or across the street at the Heinz. We intended to try the Streetside bar/ restaurant but it was packed out so went to the full restaurant. Gotta say, we really like the ambience in the lobby and restaurant - soft lighting, good colors, inviting sofas/ chairs, and never much noise at all. We were promptly seated, and the server was friendly and never intrusive. The food is moderately expensive (a hotel after all) but is VERY well presented, excellent portions, and was all very tasty. They have lots of coupons/ deals out there, so if you can find one of those and stop by before a show, this is a nice, unexpected place. read more

Went here on a Sunday evening while in Pittsburgh recently. I had done some searching on Yelp and Open Table as we wanted a reservation for our party of 5. Parking was also an important decision element and you can get free valet for up to 4 hours at the hotel. We weren't quite sure if the restaurant was inside the hotel or next door and when we arrived realized it was inside (there is a small bar with same name that is accessible from the street or the lobby too). We were promptly seated at a round table that was large yet intimate enough for our party. I wanted to try so many things that I opted to do a bit of a sampler approach versus having a full meal. I started with the onion soup gratinee, which has bourbon in it (an homage to the whiskey strength of the restaurant). It was a solid onion soup and a good sized portion. My mom and I split the spinach salad which comes with spinach, strawberries, spicy pecans, bleu cheese crumbles and a poppy seed vinaigrette. All of my favorite salad things in one salad and it was fresh and tasty! For my main, I had the braised short rib pierogies with creamed leeks. I had read about these on numerous "top Pittsburgh pierogi" lists, which was another reason I chose this restaurant. They were melt-in-your-mouth good. Fresh bread was brought to the table and we shared a bottle of wine (you'll need to ask for the bottle menu as they don't initially bring it out). We enjoyed ourselves - the ambiance was airy and historic. There were other diners, but it wasn't overly crowded and it wasn't overly noisy. Our server was attentive and helpful as others considered their menu choices. All in all, a solid place I'm a fan of and would recommend to others. read more

Beautiful! Had breakfast here at the Sunday brunch, and it was pretty good. If we had not had a free pass from the hotel, I don't know if we would have gone here because it is pretty $$$. The buffett was big, and they did have a lot of different stuff. I would say that the lighting is pretty dramatic for a morning, like I wish I could maybe see some daylight from a window instead of dramatic lighting. read more

I just recently got to experience Braddock's on a whim with a friend on a Friday evening. I was surprised they weren't busier at 6pm on a Friday, but it's possible that they get busier later, as 6pm can actually be considered early on a weekend. We ordered a glass of wine (a surprisingly affordable glass of Cabernet) and the cheese plate appetizer. It was amazing! The service was OK, although the server seemed like she was running the whole place (or something was keeping her busy and spacey) and the expediter seemed a bit distant, too. This was a little bit of a surprise for a place like this, but we were in a good mood and it genuinely didn't bother us. I chose to order from the bar menu because after walking through and seeing someone with a burger, my mind immediately had made up its' mind. I got the Braddock's Burger and it was amazing! The beef bacon was almost too much, but I appreciated the uniqueness. The meat was cooked perfectly and was juicy and flavored well, without being too over-powerful and you could still taste burger. The bun never got soggy and help up. The fries were also good, but a little too salty. My only real complaint is the location of the bathrooms. They are hotel / public bathrooms that are up a very large set of stairs. I'm fine with it, but I was surprised that they weren't more convenient. Overall, I'll be back! read more

I stay at this hotel a lot when I travel to Pittsburgh for work. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. The food is excellent and the staff is very accommodating and very friendly. The manager walked around to the guest and asked how everything was. He was even helping the servers bring the food out. My steak was cooked PERFECT!! I ordered the filet mignon medium well and the chef cooked it perfect! It was very delicious. The dessert was amazing, croissant bread pudding. It's really a great place to eat and have a fun night out. I look forward to coming back. read more

This could have been 4 stars but the food was a little bit lacking. First the good. Very friendly staff behind the bar, with a great selection of hootch. I had a Braddock Smash which was nice but not something I'd sit around drinking too much. Now, the Whiskey Sours were well poured and very good. And the wife's Vodka Tonics were very good, according to her. And the homemade tater chips were excellent, and very addictive (and us on diets!! Geez). However, the food could have been better. We ordered off the Brassierre's menu, scallops for me, filet for her. The scallops were ok but I've had better. The polenta was a bit cool so not much to say about that. The wife's filet looked good, had good texture, and was cooked right. But it didn't appear to be seasoned. Plus, the bearnaise was awfully thick, or at least thicker than what we're used to. Overall, a good place to drink. And although the food we ordered was off the mark a bit, I definitely wouldn't mind going back and trying a burger off of their menu (if it wasn't downtown, that is!!). Update - went back for drinks and dinner with wife and her brother. This time I had something called the Pittsburgh Ugly sandwich, basically a Reuben with a sliced sausage link on it, topped off by a potato perogie. What are these perogies y'all eat here? This one was like trying to eat the cotton ball from a bottle of aspirin. Yuck!!! And the sandwich was so dry I could hardly chew it. Did they forget the Russian Dressing? I'm taking no stars away from my original review but only because I like the bar. Will not eat anything else here but the homemade tater chips. read more

I recently went there for the first time. I was impressed with the décor but also immediately put off my the service. I went for brunch on a Sunday, when I walked in there was not a host or server around to seat our party. Someone from the kitchen staff that was at the omelette station told us to just seat ourselves, so we did. It was not busy at all, there was only one other table there. We waited 10min before even being greeted by a server. I went with the intentions of having breakfast which changed quickly after looking at the brunch buffet. The food had been sitting for a long time and you could tell (it looked very dried out). I still decided to get breakfast since there was an omelette station and Belgium waffle station that were both freshly made. 2 others in our party ordered the crab cake and steamed mussels and we're please with both. I personally would not go back here for brunch or suggest the place to anyone else. read more

Went here for Easter Brunch- great atmosphere- and service. All the food was delicious. We ordered Lamb and arugula eggs Benedict, Chicken and waffles and the Avocado toast topped with perfectly runny fried egg. Mini coffee carafe on table so plenty of coffee at the hand. Lobby of Hotel is really neat and gorgeous staircase- read more

This place was hopping and we enjoyed grabbing a drink and appetizer. There is a street-view bar, the lobby of the hotel and then the restaurant in the back. We actually ordered at the bar and went and sat at the long table near the video fish tank to people watch and chat. The server was Nicole and she was very nice and didn't mind serving us across the lobby. We had been walking around the cultural district and just stopping in and soaking up the atmosphere of beautiful Pittsburgh. read more

Braddock's Rebellion - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I am really torn about this review. Our server was fantastic and we really enjoyed the food and drink, but two of our group members ended up with food poisoning (we think that it was the mussels) after our meal. We opted to do a mix of plates including their jumbo lump crab cake, braised short ribs pierogies, arancinis. potato gnocchi & lobster, and the mussels. Overall, during the meal - I enjoyed all of the food with my favorite being the lobster gnocchi and the arancinis were a bit bitter from the port wine. We also tried a smattering of their drinks from the Braddock's smash to the moscow mule and prohibition pear martini. They also have a make your own manhattan option. For a hotel restaurant, this was a really great option inside of The Renaissance which is eclectically upscale. If it wasn't for the food poisoning, this review would be four stars. read more

Been going here for a number of years now and this last time was really disappointing. Reasonably priced for a downtown restaurant, but this last time the Steak and Frits we ordered was a really cheap cut of meat unlike the steak they've offered the past years we've been here. I'll try it again but if it's the same thing, then this place will be off my list of preferred places to dine while in Pittsburgh. read more

Braddock is your typical hotel restaurant in a nice downtown hotel. Very nicely decorated with good service but the food is a bit overpriced for what you pay. We ate here several times while staying at the Renaissance over the weekend since it's conveniently located inside the hotel. The breakfast buffet here is $15/person and does not quite worth its value. It's basically $15 for a continental breakfast with some hot items (eggs, bacon). Lunch/dinner here is similar to your average American restaurant with burgers and sandwiches. The service though is great and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. For a hotel restaurant in a city downtown, expect the typical American grill. Within walking distances are many more options so try something different unless you're looking for the convenience of a hotel restaurant. read more

I've only gone here for breakfast and brunch. Like most breakfast buffets, this one is overpriced. However, even the entrees are not that good of a deal. The killer for this one is that there are many alternatives within walking distance. The only reason for repeat visits was that they were comp'd by the hotel. That said, the hotel is beautiful so the ambiance is solid, and the service was top notch. 2.5 stars. read more

Largest selection of Bourbon in Pittsburgh...don't mind if I do. Sat down and saw a selection of 7 Bourbons on the shelf and was pissed. "That's it?" Then I looked up and saw another 30. Haven't made it through all of them but the ones I had were amazing. Plus the bar snacks "potato chips" are always incredible. read more

My favorite place to eat and drink downtown. Great craft cocktails and whiskeys to choose from. Service is always first class... Especially in the bar. Mike and Matt really know their stuff and are super cool guys to chat with. The food is out standing and they are very accommodating with peoples wants and diet choices. Kudos to Brandon and Tony also... They're working very hard to put this spot on the map! read more

Came here when we were in a rush before a show. We made reservations, but the place was practically empty, which caught me off-guard. The food ended up being really good, although the preparation was pretty slow (and as I mentioned, we were in a bit of a hurry). I really enjoyed the lobster and gnocchi dish - really unique and delicious. Great blend of flavors (who thought that peas would go with gnocchi?). The salad was ok - I had the goat cheese and beet since I'm a sucker for goat cheese. The reason that I must rate them highly though is because my dad was happy. My dad, the world's pickiest eater. The man who will not eat anything with "cream" or "cheese" or "onion" or "garlic" or anything, ANYTHING that he deems as different (which automatically becomes "weird" with an "Ewww, who would want that?!"). He ate the Amish chicken (I think the name helped, because he does have a weird thing for the Amish). Of course he plained-it-up, opting for no polenta or relish, never touching the asparagus, and getting a side of fries. He was pleased! He LIKED it and really liked the fries. Success! read more

Jarod at the bar made THE ABSOLUTE BEST cocktail I've ever had. It is a take on a Moscow mule with muddled berries, and rum instead of vodka. He usually makes it with whiskey, but I asked for rum. Freaking awesome!!!!! read more

Braddock's Rebellion - Jarod's whiskey mule - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My boyfriend's family was in town for Father's Day weekend, so I met up with them for a celebratory lunch. As others have mentioned, the restaurant is within the very fancy Renaissance Hotel, but fancy dress isn't required. We had made reservations, but there was no need. The restaurant was quite empty around 1 pm on Father's Day, with only one or two other parties. We experienced the wonderful service other Yelpers described. Our waiter kept our water full, offered great suggestions, graciously answered questions (or went to the chef for an answer), and was very knowledgeable about the sources of the food, We had a coupon for a free appetizer from the hotel, we we tried the kielbasa board. The presentation was beautiful. I loved trying the different types of kielbasa with all the different sauces. For my meal, I ordered The Pittsburgh Reuben ("The Big Ugly") with a salad (choice of salad or fries). The salad was fresh and satisfying, the sandwich (if you can even call it that) even more so. It's huge--two slices of bread piled with sauerkraut, Russian dressing, and shaved pastrami topped with kielbasa, a potato pierogi, and cheese. More of a knife-and-fork job than a sandwich. I ordered it because I wanted to try everything--it was a good choice. I wasn't able to finish half the plate, so I packed the rest up in a to-go box and it made a great dinner. The components of the sandwich were great. My favorite part was the bread, which soaked up the juices from the toppings but was still still buttery and crisp on the outsides. However, the meatiness of the sandwich got a little overwhelming after a bit--I wish I'd saved my salad to accompany the sandwich. The other members of the group greatly enjoyed their meals as well. Mussels and frites, the croque minargie... all were cleared and declared delicious. It was a great dining experience overall, and a nice way to celebrate. read more

Wow!!! The food at Braddock's is amazing ~ and the ambience is warm, welcoming, and fun. Comfort food at its best. The short-rib pierogis are incredible and so is everything else. Kind and friendly service and truly, a great taste of Pittsburgh hospitality! Thank you Braddock's! read more

I ate here three different times. I came here with a g/roupon, but the average dish is priced at about $13. I had the fish and chips ($13), the Braddocks ($11) burger and the cheese burger ($9). I also tried the Brushchetta ($7), and the fried zucchini. Overall my pick was the Braddocks burger as it contained beef bacon (like a juicy beef jerky), and a relish salsa. I was not a fan of the fish and chips at all. The Brushchetta was the best item I ate there is is probably the best Brushchetta I have ever had. I considered bumping the place up a star because of this, but since its just an appetizer, it gets less weight. Let me put it this way - I wouldn't eat here without the discount. You get a good amount of food, but you pay for it. Service was pretty good each time. Food Quality/Taste = 3 Stars Portion Size Given Price = 4 Stars Price = 3 Stars Service = 4 Stars Experience with Staff = 4 Stars Decor = 4 Stars Clean (yes/no) = yes read more

Speaking only of the bar, not the dining-- Stopped by early evening on NYE for a few drinks. Great selection of bourbon at the bar. Even though it was NYE and the staff members were very busy with drink orders for the servers for the dinner customers, each one of them spoke to us--Just saying hello while they poured drafts, inquired about our appreciation of the cocktails, had a little chat about some of the whiskeys on the shelves, or just checked to see if they was anything needed. Special shout to Mimi for the info and recommendations she provided. read more

Most important observation: you can't afford wine here, it will literally double the price of your meal. Their markup is through the roof. Second, sadly: the food is really, really good, but largely overshadowed by their insane wine prices (for non-drinkers, this place is the real deal.) Third, noise from the hotel lobby is constant and invasive, and particularly bad on the evening I dined here because a wedding had spilled over into the public areas. Finally, what they call kielbasa is a big hot dog (the best I ever tasted, prepared perfectly and served with great mustard and kraut, but NOT kielbasa). I know, I know, technically the term kielbasa can refer to damn near any sausage, but as a Polish American I know that what I was served was NOT kielbasa - delicious, but taking the argument to its extreme, I'd also be pissed off if I ordered a slice of pie and got a bowl of bread pudding (even if it was the best bread pudding ever.) read more
