I only order bar food from here, but its super groovy. Great wings and they are the only place ive seen that makes jalapeno poppers the cool way... They dice up the peppers first! Genius! Much better texture and nice and spicy. Friendly service. They forgot an item on my takeout order, and gave me a free slice of cake.. And that was good cake...I feel like Marie Antoinette...Maybe one day ill actually sit in and try something else read more

I don't understand all the bad reviews. We been going here for many years. We have never ever had anything bad, bland, tasteless or under or over cooked. We have never had poor service. The servers and management are always pleasant and friendly. The prices are very reasonable.The same as it has been since I discovered them 25 years ago. Don't let the bad reviews discourage you from trying. These are rare and isolated incidents that I'm certain were justifiable. Imperfections happen. There's a reason why they are jampacked every weekend and run out of their feature fresh fish selections. read more

Everything was so good! I got crab cakes and crab stuffed mushrooms. Delicious. Staff was quite friendly and on top of things. Will be returning! read more

every time I have ordered take out - there is always a problem. tonight I just paid $26.00 for 2 fish sandwiches. Needless to say they forgot all my sides. I tried to call them after my husband brought the food home and no one answered the phone. I will never patronize that place again. giving this a 1 star rating is 1 star too much!! read more

I was heartbroken that Butya's closed, so friends turned me on to this old place. Maybe not as old as Butya's but it's been around long enough for Burghers to pass judgement. Excellent fish sandwich, good variety of craft beers on tap and waitress with just enough attitude! They had a small fish sandwich and a large, which is exactly twice as big. I could barely finish the small. Nice crispy batter on fresh white cod on a French roll. Nice choice of sides, besides the usual fries and slaw. It's a winner. read more

Dorido's Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Sorry to see a great landmark restaurant fall by the way side because the owner has lost his direction! Been going to Gorsiks, Dorido's #1, and more recently Dorido's #2. Always the very best fish sandwich in Pittsburgh, you were lucky to get a bowl of their clam chowder soup before it ran out, and a large glass of buttermilk to wash everything down!!! A working man bar, and a treat to visit without drawing down the family bank account! No so anymore!!! High Class Menu, with high class prices! Fish Sandwiches that were very sparse, with small pieces of over cooked cod, not breaded huge sides of white fish as in the old days! Men waiters, which added a bar atmosphere to the surroundings were no longer working there! I not sure South Park needs a high class fish restaurant as we have the South Park sports bar, which we recently visited also! It blew Doridos off the South Park map! Better food, better service, better everything! And wait to you see the size of their regular fish sandwiches, and their truly great French fries!!! Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!! And the Sports Bar owner didn't have to serve the food like at Dorido's because............... read more

Large fish sandwich was ok, wings were ok, nothing to go out of your way to try, the fried pickles were good,

Really not very good. This place was probably good 20 years ago but it's now living off of customer loyalty and not quality. I had the fish and chips. There was zero seasoning on the fish, not even salt. The breading was like a casing that my fish fell out of, leaving a greasy, chewy pouch. I couldn't eat more than a third of it. The server (or whoever) who took our order was rude and acted like we were inconveniencing him by our presence. Avoid this place. read more

It's ok! That's about it! And if you have someone that is handicapped and in a wheelchair, keep driving. I wouldn't consider this place to be handicapped accessible. You are lucky to get one person in restroom let alone and wheelchair. Steps to access the upper part of dining room. So yeah, really not accessible. Now to the food, if you enjoy fish sandwiches, it's ok. I personally think over the years, the quality has gone downhill considerably. Everything on menu is fried so if you enjoy bar food, fried in the oldest grease possible, this is your place. Now the grossest thing ever, I've watched a bartender spit into napkins, not wash hands, then serve food. I've also watched at the bar, an employee take snuff out of his mouth and lift the top lid of a burger, and place the snuff on the burger of another employee. Nice going, you jagoff! read more

I've had many friends tell me to try here if looking for a seafood joint. Now some friends think way differently when saying joint but that's another blog. This place is smaller but adequate which I hear often from the wife. Haa. The broiled fish sandwich was delicious even though I passed on the bun. Trust me I have enough buns on me. The wife had fried fish sammich and I stole a sliver. It too was very good as was the calamari appetizer which comes in 3 sizes and we ordered a medium which was plenty for 4 of us. The kiddos had a steak sandwich which she only ate maybe half of and the other rug rat had the fish sticks and he said they were really really really good. You can order the meal which throws in some fries and Cole slaw. I'm looking forward to trying their dinners here and having a drink from the bar which you have to walk through to the dining room. The wait staff were exceptionally funny and courteous. This place is worth a visit and every penny. read more

Absolutely delicious! We're from the west coast but my parents live here and we plan on making Dorido's a regular stop whenever we visit. We ordered the potato skins and fried pickles, cheeseburgers, fish and chips and a Rueben. Huge portions and great prices! Our servers were spunky and really prompt. You have to walk around the bar and up a few steps to get to more dining space but I liked being away from the bar clatter. Multiple servers will take care of you if yours is busy and the girl we have had a lot of spirit and I was very pleased. We'll definitely be back! read more

Decent fish and chips. Service was prompt, but not exactly super friendly. Kind of a dive of a diner. read more

It's okay. The staff was really friendly and treated my kids well. I chose the fish sandwich, which is well represented in the reviews. It's was just okay. It was two whole fried fish fillets on a cold hoagie role. No lettuce, no tomato, nothing but dry bread. Yes, they served tartar and cocktail sauces on the side. The fish itself was decent, but it makes for a weird, pretty bland sandwich, even after I slathered it with sauces. My families dishes were equally "meh." read more

I just love this place. The food is awesome and very affordable, but there is no skimping on the taste and portions. The staff is totally awesome an very friendly. Always have a great time there. I would definitely recommend this place for any meal, and very comfortable place to hang out at after you eat. I just love the the staff. Just go there and enjoy, you won't be disappointed. Shoutout to Bob for keeping it real. read more

Went here with some family and was told it was a fish/ seafood place. I was disappointed in the selection really it's a fish sandwich type of place. I believe they only had cod. I had a fish sandwich that I would expect at Denny's or something equivalent. It wasn't bad just all around average. My girlfriend had fish plater and it was slightly better but shrimp was way over cooked, her scallops where a nice size though. The bathroom smelled as though it never was cleaned. Service was generally so so the waiter could have been much more friendly. It was only modestly busy but they were slow for service. Wouldn't return. read more

One of the best Cod sandwiches I have ever had... doing it Pittsburgh style at Dorido's! The food was amazing and so was the service. The shrimp app was on point, full of flavor and generous in portion. The cold was crispy and bread crispy the coleslaw was not running, not vinegary, nor taste like mayo.. fries nice and crispy! The walley was cooked to perfection and the old school mac & cheese with the big noodles brought me back in time! Definitely the place to stop... oh and the taps had a great selection. read more

Very disappointed. We went twice hoping the second time would be better. The food was greasy and not at all as good as we had heard it would be. read more

Great food! Always get the crab cake sandwich, never disappointed! Will recommend to friends when they're looking for good seafood!

Great local place. Casual and inexpensive. It gets packed during the Lent season because of the great fried fish sandwiches. The service is quick and accommodating of large parties (6- 10) read more

Tonight was probably our last visit until lent for their great fish sandwiches. So I gave 3 stars for that & also great prices with a good menu variety. You have your basic bar foods & some good seafood entrees. Our friend really wanted shrimp- got 'em & loved'em. My husband got the sweet potato fries which he strongly disliked bc they're cut very thick & tasted "off". I had wings that are the typical size nowadays, with good classic buffalo sauce. Now the bad- out of last four visits (including tonight), over the past year. Our service was awful. Every waitress we have is ABSOLUTELY miserable and rude. The waiters were great, but it must be bad to work there as a woman! I didn't bother mentioning bc I felt uncomfortable & wanted to leave, as we feel like an inconvenience when we are there. read more

Forgot a portion of my takeout order that i was charged for, the burger you could see gristle and fat in it, wife gagged on first bite, looked very low quality meat compared to even a fast food restaurant. Dine-in customers orders were messed up as I was standing (forgotten sandwich on counter, forgotten fries of customer 10ft away) there to pickup my order very very disappointed with this experience. read more

Nothing funny about how absolutely rude and disrespectful I was treated while picking up a takeout order. I've since heard that he has done that to other customers also. It's not a laughing matter to be thought of as FUNNY. read more

terrible take out service. never on time. even tried grubhub. if you can't keep up then stop with grubhub. food come 2 hours after you order and ice cold. poor management. read more

We had a group of 12 people. We called ahead to see if we could be seated. The person on the phone said, yes come on down. When we got there with ALL 12 people, the woman said "I don't know who you talked to, but we cannot seat you," turned her back on us and left. Completely rude and will never go back. read more

We frequent Doridos for lunch. The service is always incredible fast and so friendly. Food is always amazing. Price and speed is better and faster than fast food- and food is quality! read more

Beyond appalled by this business. Took my 94-year-old disabled mother-in-law there today and they do not have seating for the disabled to their dining room. They told us to take her up a set of stairs (in her chair) or we could walk around to the back and carry her down the stairs. This is this solution? If they were remotely sensitive to the situation I would have been much more understanding but they were sincerely unapologetic. read more

When in town visiting my farther, we'll stop in for lunch. This year was disappointing our server (male) no personality,didn't say hi how we were doing. Guess I'm used to Southern Hospitality living there for 30yrs. He mentioned the specials and took drink orders. I aways get the fish sandwich always good till this year taste​ bland. Compared to Penn Brewery fish sandwich in Troy Hill neighborhood ,Doridos is a D I S T A N C E 2nd. read more

my husbands buddy owns the place, we love to come every time we come in from New York to watch sports games. Great enviroment, great food, great people, and a great time! No matter what people say, great place! in a nice neighborhood so if you live close, you can walk! read more

Last to leave the bar! Went for drinks for my birthday, and ended up getting food just before the kitchen closed. The fish sandwich was perfect, and big!! We also got the chicken tenders, and they were good too. The drinks were great, got introduced to a Long Beach tea. New favorite drink! Will be back! read more

It was awesome! We drove past and thought let's give it a try. With Coronavirus, trying a new place was a risk. Food was ready in 20 minutes and it was delicious. The shrimp were huge and fabulous and the fish was delicious. They brought it to our car with gloves. Condiments were given to us and we didn't even ask. The person who brought it out (maybe the owner) was kind and appreciative. It is 45 minutes from our house and we would drive that far again just to go there. read more

I LOVE this place and their food. The people are always very, very nice. The French onion soup is literally to die for. The place is small but mighty and the bar is pretty big. Go here, I definitely recommend! read more

I was here to have a few. Wasn't planning on eating or anything. Honestly you better get a table of you want service if you aren't regular customer at this place. Wasn't very happy with service. read more

I cannot believe everyone in the world doesn't know about this restaurant. The food is amazing and as important, the service is some of the best I've ever had. Scallops are my fave, open face prime rib is a close second. They bring the food out so fast it's unreal and everything is sooooo fresh. I have lived in pittsburgh for 20 years and never knew about this until I moved to pleasant hills. Please people, if you want an awesome experience food / service & atmosphere ... try it! I'm just a customer and have no affiliation with this place whatsoever ... I highly recommend!! read more

It was a waste of money! My drink was not how I ordered it, the appetizer was cold, the fish and chips was over cooked and the service was terrible! This dining experience was way below par from start to our abrupt finish. I ordered a martini with a twist and received one with three olives. Not only that, but while making the trip from the bar to the table the waiter spilled half of it. The fried cauliflower appetizer was cold in the middle and arrive about 1 minute before our entrees. When the entrees were dropped, one was wrong and we didn't have silverware. I had to get up and find someone to bring silverware. The fish and chips was close to the worst I've ever had. When I had to track someone down for more water that was all I could really take of the whole experience. I tried to talk with three people on our way out, but the two waiters didn't really care. They just said, "sorry," and walked away. When I approached the bartender/ owner (I think) he had no idea how to handle a complaint in a professional manner. I hear this place used to be great, but at this level of quality and service I don't see them in business for much longer. read more

I know everyone loves the fish sandwich, but you have to try the broiled fish! It is broiled perfectly, the nice thing about this joint is, it knows what it is and doesn't try to do anything else, the seafood is great the price is awesome and the service is quick. read more

Two friends and I went to Dorido's for a couple drinks and a bite to eat. We have been here a couple times and enjoy the wine prices, so we were lookin forward to it. We only had 1-2 drinks per person. However, we ended up being there for 2.5 hours! No one came to check up on us and we were consistently ignored by most of the staff. After finishing my last drink, it was an HOUR before someone came to see if we were finished. We did not have a designated server, and a particular waitress would look right at us and walk past. I am a patient person and do not usually like to say negative things about a place...but this was horrible. The fact that we were largely ignored for almost three hours is not okay. I am usually a generous tipper, but this was too much even for me. read more

My husband and I always come for the Lobster Pot and Ribs. Today, we were told the the ribs might not be ready yet and when the waitress did bring them out the sauce was not the same as always and the amt of ribs he usually gets was about half. He said it seemed like they used some off brand bottled sauce with no spices and the ribs had no taste and hardly any meet to them. Needless to say it will be a while before we return. read more

Doritos use to be our FAVORITE place to go!!!!! So much has changed during the last year. Mostly staff turn-over. All the staff use to work together as a team. The staff was fun, friendly, happy, energetic and such a fun group to be around. The staff now is unconcerned, bland and kinda mean. The food use to be awesome - now it's just ok, nothing special. The service use to be excellent - now-not so much. We have found a new favorite place to go - and every time we go back to Doritos, we are reminded of why we left. Just this week, everyone at our table was served their meals except for 1 person. When everyone was just about done, we asked about the last meal. Our waitress was sooooo rude. She said - "if it was done, we would bring it out" and then turned to the other staff and said something nasty about our questioning about that last meal. Of course - they all turned around and glared at us. Unfortunately-the last meal came out when everyone else was done and she had to eat alone, while we waited. The waitress was so rude.......of course we still tipped the customary 20 percent - but truly - that nasty woman deserved nothing. Pretty sure we won't be going back. The entire last year has just been bad experience after bad experience. read more

I was brought to Doridos on Halloween night after trick-or -treating ended, around 8:30pm. My boyfriend and I grabbed the last two seats at the bar, it was pretty crowded with all of the tables in the bar room area taken as well. I also noticed they have a back dining room that began to fill up shortly after we arrived. We were acknowledged quickly by the bartender Aimee. We ordered 2 beers, a dogfish head 60 min IPA for me and a Yuengling for the beau. A different server/bartender took our order when we were ready. I chose the crab cake sandwich which normally comes with fries and coleslaw. I asked if I could substitute a cup of the shrimp and sausage gumbo, which was their soup of the day, for the fries and slaw. She looked at me puzzled and at first responded, "it normally comes with fries and slaw;we normally don't substitute soup." I noticed it was a handwritten check so really she could substitute whatever she wants since she was not limited by the computer system. She must have realized the same and said, "ok, I'll just say no sides, sub soup." (obviously!). I was glad I made that substitution. The gumbo was delicious! Lots of shrimp and sausage with just the right amount of kick to it. The crabcake sandwich was also delicious-all meat and very little filler. And for $8.99 the price could not be beat. I was skeptical due to the price but I was very satisfied with my choice. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp and scallops meal, with fried shrimp. The shrimp looked tasty, however, he split a scallop with me and I was very underwhelmed with it. It was rather rubbery and flavorless. It appeared to be prepared in just butter, very plain. His also came with coleslaw and fries. They have a very seafood-centric menu but also have a variety of other options as well including burgers,sandwiches, the typical fried food bar apps. They also always have daily specials and daily soup specials. I'd visit Dorido's again-everything I personally ordered was tasty and priced right plus they had a wide variety of craft beers on tap. read more

Dorido's is a place that looks like it has been around for the last 40 years. It has the classic old school seafood restaurant. It is seafood, hearty oily and often fried. All the classics like fish and chips, scampi, and broiled fish. Sides of coleslaw, fries or vegetable of the day. read more
