I made a lunch stop at Eighty Acres last Friday. Let me first say they did a wonderful job with the remodel from the old Vincent's that was in this location. I was stunned when I walked in. The bar seats about 15-16 and the dining room probably another 80. They are also finishing up a outdoor seating area. It looks great. I also love a bartender who not only recommends a beer by also a dish. I believe her name was Casey and she was a cool cat. I went with the Crab Cakes and vegetable medley on the side. It was incredible. The price, portion, service, everything was top notch. I admit I went in after lunch and it was a light crowd but I like it when a place steps up and rolls it out. I want to add three people asked how my meal was. I'm pretty sure it was the GM and the owner but that says a lot. By the way, I tinkled and the bathroom was clean too. Give this place a shot, well worth it. read more

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant and bar this place is in such an unassuming perch along the Golden Mile that is 286. With an open setting, set with "Fixer Upper" style and decor, this place serves up some fresh, farm-to-table style cuisine that is downright delicious! They also partner with local bakeries and sweet shops to deliver dynamite desserts at the end of your meal. It's the kind of place where I don't know where to start my review...everything was terrific... The pre-dinner cocktails...amazing. The appetizers and snacks...they lasted 45 seconds on the table. The soups and salads...consumed like wild animals were eating them. Then came dinner...I can not recall sharing more bites and passing around more plates at a dinner table in a long, long time. With ample portions and reasonable pricing for noticeably fresh food, I'm an instant fan. This place is well deserving of the coveted 5th star! Eighty Acres...you're 100% awesome in my book! read more

First I'll say I didn't go, my wife did and brought her left overs home . She got the shrimp risotto and it was delicious. I'm sure it was even better right out of the kitchen... definitely going to go now. read more

Had a steak here. Mediocre at best. It's a nice little restaurant inside however, lacks that wow factor with the food.

** Updated review at the bottom. ** We went here for Sunday brunch with out of town friends. I was so excited to give it a try since I have had my eye on it since we moved to Pittsburgh a few months ago. The exterior is unassuming, but the interior has a mixture of shabby chic/rustic chic charm to it. Nice, spacious bar, two large dining areas, and patio space that is probably open in the warmer months. Their brunch menu is short and concise, and you will likely not find any of your traditional favorites on it (eggs Benedict, waffles, etc.). This is a farm-to-table concept restaurant though, so I appreciated the variety of flavors available. I ordered a maple cinnamon muffin, huevos rancheros and the Bloody Mary bar. I loved the Bloody Mary bar! You get your choice of 3 different types of vodka, regular, bacon-infused, or pepper-infused. Then you're shown the DIY part of crafting your cocktail. Stuffed olives, regular olives, celery, plenty of hot sauce choices, Worcestershire sauce, pickles, and horseradish. The one thing I was really hoping for was some pickled asparagus or some other pickled item to throw in mine. I chose the regular vodka, but I think I will go for either of the other two options next time since the tomato juice is strictly tomato juice and not another spiced mix. The muffin I ordered was perfect. It wasn't too sweet and was a perfect portion. I shared it with the others at my table. The huevos rancheros on the other hand were not good. When the plate came to the table, something about the smell of the tomatoes hit me like a ton of bricks. There wasn't enough flavor in the dish, and so the tomatoes were overwhelming. I ordered my eggs over easy but they came out over hard, and I don't know where the crispy tortillas were because there was mostly black beans and tomatoes. None of it tasted very good and I had to have the plate moved away because I didn't care for the smell. I was a bit disappointed that the waitress didn't ask me why I hadn't eaten any of my food. I paid for something that I took two bites of and pushed away. I wanted to like this place. I really did! I will go back to give their dinner menu a try some time since that seems to be the majority of what is reviewed. They also have lunch, which would be great on a Saturday afternoon. ** Update ** We have since been back to Eighty Acres for brunch again, and I have been back for lunch. I have to say that these two experiences have turned me into a fan. The brunch menu changed from our previous visit and what I ordered (I cannot currently recall) was delicious. The Bloody Mary bar was still just as good, too! One day, I decided to order a salad for take-out and was pleasantly surprised that the price was great for the delicious salad I got. I would definitely do this again! We still need to go back to check out the dinner menu, but all in all, I recommend giving Eighty Acres a try! read more

Definitely off the beaten path, Eighty Acres is a diamond in the rough. The exterior of the building is nothing too attractive and if I hadn't have read about this place in Pittsburgh Magazine, I definitely would have turned around and went elsewhere. The interior of the building is decorated to the tune of Rustic Americana. I had the Roasted Beet Salad that had a perfect balance of deep fried goat cheese paired with crisp apple in mixed greens. Next I devoured a mushroom, roasted tomato, pesto and goat cheese flatbread. It's basically an awesome 12" pizza. What I might have liked best is that there were plenty of vegetarian dishes to choose from. The only downside is that the service I received was less than great, but I went at a weird time of day, so I'd consider that one my own fault. read more

After placing a reservation for 8 people earlier in the week through Open Table, my friends and I sat down on Saturday for a delicious meal. Between all of us, we had almost every appetizer, entree, and dessert. There wasn't a single complaint to be had from the group. The gnocchi is a must-try. I had the Amish Chicken and it was cooked perfectly. The desserts - made at Spinola's Bakery - were great. We placed our app and entree orders simultaneously, which can sometimes lead to an oddly timed out meal - but the spacing between courses was on point - we weren't handed our salads and then our entrees 5 minutes later. It's a little pricey, but the food and service is worth it. We never felt rushed, the service was excellent - no sighs when we said we were splitting the check four ways - all in all a great meal. I would definitely recommend. read more

Had a great dinner tonight with Mom at a new restaurant. Farm to Table restaurant. Everything fresh and from local farms. It was really great food. Big portions. The eighty acres salad had a good homemade (?) vinaigrette was light and sweet tasting. We ordered the filet. It was cooked perfectly to my liking. Medium rare. The pickled onions were tasty. Corn potatoes and jalapeno hash was seasoned well and not too spicy read more

Small restuarant in Plum. If you are looking for pretty good food in plum, you can find it here with most of their options. The price tag to portion size is what threw me off the most here. Yes, the food was above average, but played small and priced big. As for drink selection, not a whole lot going on here. The atmosphere was pretty good, and there is an outdoor area for warmer months, which is a bonus. read more

This is our favorite restaurant but because of COVID-19 we've been staying home. However their take out is good as in restaurant. We've ordered frozen meats, the hamburger patties are best we've ever had. Tonight we had chicken pot pie...Delicious!! If you want to keep 80 Acres please support them! This is the best restaurant in our area. We don't want to lose them. read more

Awesome food, good service, beautifully decorated. I live less than a mile from this place and had never been here, now I may have found my new go to restaurant. I chose short rib which was incredible and tender. The rest of my group all got bolognese that was so good it gave me FOMO even with how good my short rib was. We took advantage of some happy hour drink specials also and kept the bill relatively decently priced. read more

Wow. The atmosphere is nice. We sat outside. The bathrooms were nice. We started with the gnocchi and added the bacon. It was light and fluffy. I would get this again. The portion was large enough for 3 maybe 4 adults to split as an appetizer. I had the chili which was flavorful and delicious. My wife had the dumpling soup which I wanted to have more of a kick of flavor. Maybe it was because I had the chili it seemed less seasoned. Then I had the short rib which was so tender. My wife had the filet. She ordered it medium and it came out a little more done than that. She was ok with it though. The seasoning was on point. I would have ordered my medium rare and probably sent it back if it was overcooked. I had the habanero drink which was interesting because it finished with a spice but I wouldn't order it again. I also had a watermelon margarita which lacked the watermelon flavor as advertised. My wife had the blood orange cosmo which was good but sugary. For desert we had the blueberry copper. My only complaint was it should have had one more scoop of the vanilla bean ice cream so I could be more liberal with my distribution. The scoop was small. I would be back and avoid the drinks unless something looked very good. I also would like to try the burger and the chicken salad sandwich which both looked very good. read more

Eighty Acres is my local go to for an excellent brunch, yummy cocktail or farm to table dinners. Since the stay at home order- I've ordered the burger/fries, chicken salad sandwich with salad and a special- halibut with grape tomato risotto, asparagus and caper lemon aoli and all were exceptional. Food is hot for pickup, always delicious and super fresh. The asparagus was perfectly in season and the side salad had variety, not just any "house salad." The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection. Looking forward to a mimosa on the patio! read more

Not much to say about this place. Every time I've gone here the food is outstanding.

Nice for a quick date night if you're local. Their food is always fresh and they have a nice selection for a small menu.

We had my daughter's bridal shower here this past weekend and we could not have been happier. They were so easy to work with and willing to accommodate any items we wanted on our menu. Brandi was our server and she was outstanding! No one waited for anything and the food was delicious. All of our guests were very impressed and stated that they can't wait to return for dinner sometime! read more

Eighty Acres Kitchen & Bar Eighty Acres Kitchen & Bar $$ American (New) 1910 New Texas Rd Pittsburgh, PA 15239 1.0 star rating6/15/2019 F-bombs trump good food. Having been to Eighty Acres with a Brunch group in May, we had very good food and excellent service.Thought it would be a great idea to visit again for Happy Hour. What started out as meeting an acquaintance for Happy Hour turned into a never again will I or my group go to Eighty Acres. This was a classic case of front of the house (bartender) ruining the back of the hosue experience (food). With a poor attitude the bartender at a request separate checks became totally disrepectful dropping F bombs loud enough that we could hear his complaint regarding the request for separate check. He continued to gripe loud enough for us and everyone else making us appear to have been problem customers. His turned his lack of civility, lack of customer service into what he have thought was the customers fault for wanting to pay for exactly what they ate. I came there alone, asked for a separate check when I sat down. My expectation was to have just that - a check for what I ate and drank. He brought a check for a 50/50 split. When I again said I want to pay for what"I ate and drank" he again brought an incorrect bill. A couple seated closeby told me this guy is an A__, so it probably isnt the first time he was rude. Since he works there, I would assume having the green light to drop the F word /verbally abusive toward customers is condoned by the Chef/owner. I asked for a manager, or supervisor and was told they were busy cooking. While certainly not visually an upscale restaurant, the food swings upscale - but last night the bartenter was not even on the scale. For that reason will never visit this restaruant again and will tell everyone I know. No reason I should have been subject to that sort of behavior. It totally ruined the evening. read more

It had be n 5 years since business travel brought me to Monroeville. It was then that I first experienced 80 Acres and was utterly delighted. I still recall the grilled peaches and scallops which was a seasonal item. So when I was scheduled to be back in Monroeville in early March, my first thought was going back to 80 Acres. Let me say that I was not disappointed. The Basil 1910 was excellent and service was great. read more

Made online reservations for my daughters birthday dinner and got seated immediately upon arrival. The food was excellent and the waitstaff was as well! Lamb shanks with gnocchi for me and my daughter were absolutely top notch. Wife had shrimp risotto, hold the mushrooms, and also excellent! Mixed drinks were great as was the live entertainment; very talented man and woman singing great tunes at the proper volume to be entertaining but not overwhelming. A tad pricey BUT worth every dollar! My twist in the old saying is... if you don't pay for it, you won't get it! This time we payed for great meals (mid $20'z, and got great meals Left about 7pm and was glad to see the place was filling up to capacity when we left! Hope eight acres stays in business for many years to come! Well worth a visit for a special occasion! read more

My husband and I recently went to eighty acres for a date night. Its a cute intimate restaurant which is perfect for a date night or even a business lunch/dinner as they have a semi private room in the back. The service was prompt but felt a tad forced, it probably wasn't a good night for our server. Nonetheless the food was incredible! We ordered a couple of cocktails, their flatbread for appetizers and crab cakes and walleye special as our mains. My walleye was lightly pan fried and came on a bed of brown curried lentils- so good! The fish and crab cakes were simply amazing!! Definitely worth going back for, which I guess we will soon! read more

This was my second trip to Eighty Acres Kitchen & Bar and it lived up to my high expectations since every bite I tried on trip 1 was amazing. I was visiting for a family event and was so happy this gem of a restaurant was selected for our lunch. We shared the Coyote Queso with pita and a Gathering Board to start. What's a Gathering Board? Good question! From their menu it's charcuterie, cheese, pickled vegetables, house made preserves, brick oven baked crackers, honeycomb. I love my veggies but what they use to pickle would make a fan out of anyone. I tried everything on the board and raved over each bite. Coyote Queso was decadent, hot and oozy. Truth be told, we ordered a 2nd because the first was so tasty. For my entree, I had their Salmon with Quinoa and Spinach with a lovely red pepper sauce. Another winner. Salmon cooked perfectly and it made me feel okay about what was to come. Our table ordered one of every dessert on the menu. Embarrassing to admit but we were swept up in the moment and the descriptions sounded so good we couldn't decide. How good is life when you can try THEM ALL?? Hard to pick a favorite but the maple bar would be mine if forced to choose. Service was friendly, quick and accurate. Don't be scared off by the outside. It doesn't give a clue to the pretty space inside. This is a place you can come for a special occasion or for no reason at all. I'm in town again in August and I've already made plans to have a meal here. This is BY FAR the best restaurant I've been to in Pittsburgh. If you don't live nearby, it's worth the drive. read more

We just returned home after a terrific meal at Eighty Acres. Although we live nearby, we hadn't been there in a while due to the pandemic. Their menu for this summer's Pittsburgh Restaurant Week was one of the most intriguing so we decided to go this evening. We enjoyed everything from the cocktail to the dessert. I started with their Basil 1910 cocktail which was deliciously tart. For the salad I chose the watermelon arugula salad with almonds, shaved parmesan, Kalamata olives and dressed with a strawberry vinaigrette. I was impressed that it was not overdressed. For the entree, I chose the walleye with pickled onions, shiitake mushrooms. spaetzle, grilled corn and black garlic aioli. The walleye was definitely the star of the dish with a nice-sized portion that was perfectly cooked--lightly browned, tender, and flaky. The accompaniments complemented the fish, particularly the black garlic aioli that I had never had before. Dessert was a lemon strawberry sponge cake with berry compote, whipped cream, and feuilletine. This beautifully plated dessert had contrasting textures, was not too sweet, and once again perfectly sized. Our server was friendly and efficient. As we ate, the restaurant quickly filled up--and this was on a Thursday night. I was pleased to see that so many people appreciate a quality restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

Were here tonight with a party of seven and, though we usually love it, we will not be back. Tonight we had brown lettuce in our Cesar sakad. The duck was not cooked properly.

I've been here twice in the past month or so, first time was the office holiday lunch and the second time was for restaurant week. The food here is just mediocre. They try to make it special and unique by using local ingredients to make interesting combinations, but the result is an experience where you don't really know what you're going to get. When I went for lunch, we had appetizers consisting of fried cheese balls and the homemade chips. They came in tiny portions and the cheese balls were still cold inside. The chips came with "bleu cheese dip" but it was more like really runny dressing with some huge pieces of cheese mixed in. For the main course I had the bison burger, which was pretty good. Probably the best thing that I've had here. When I went for dinner I had the beet salad, pork chop, and chocolate mousse. The salad and dessert were good but the pork chop was kind of tough and didn't seem to be cooked all the way through. It came with mashed potatoes which were pretty good, and sauerkraut which was really weird tasting. I wish I would have gotten the trout, I had a bite of it and it tasted much better. The service is also mediocre. For lunch the service was a little slow, which was understandable because the restaurant was busy. The server was pleasant, but sometimes got annoyed when we asked questions about some of the dishes. The service for dinner was terrible. It was slow and the server was not friendly at all. And that time there was really no excuse because they weren't busy at all. She kept talking to the other servers who were just standing around the bar. I guess she was unpleasant because she had to serve us while the other servers just stood around. And when we were leaving I saw her take a bite of food from the kitchen assembly line, which I'm pretty sure is a health code violation. Overall, this is not someplace I would like to return to. I don't think the food, although unique, is worth the price and if you don't even have a pleasant server, it makes the whole experience pretty forgettable or perhaps unforgettable for the wrong reasons. read more

Steak was perfect, broccoli was amazing, the mashed potatoes were awesome! Definitely a hidden gem in the area!

Tried this for dinner on Friday and we were definitely surprised. Pleasantly, but still surprised. For the area, we certainly weren't expecting such a high end menu, which could be pretty shocking to someone who is craving that typical pub menu (and prices). Fortunately we went in with no expectations or cravings. We sat on the patio which I loved. Nestled right on top of the hillside, the view isnt spectacular (the golden mile isn't exactly what I'd consider scenic), but its still really nice and a relaxing atmosphere. The menu is small, but well rounded with plenty of options for all kinds of different appetites. I'm thinking maybe it changes periodically, because the other reviews I read mentioned some dishes that I didn't see while we were there. I ordered the white sangria for my starter drink, which I expected to be somewhat sweeter, but still tasty. For my dinner, I had the Pannadelle, a perfectly portioned pasta dish with tomatoes, cauliflower, tossed in an oil based sauce.. surprisingly light, yet filling. Sometimes when you order pasta at restaurants you end up feeling overly stuffed and sluggish, but this wasn't that way at all (and it's vegetarian friendly!). My husband had the mussels that were tossed in a pesto sauce and served with bread.. they looked really good, but sadly I'm allergic to mussels so you'll just have to accept my husbands word and bowl of empty shells this time. For dessert I had the creme Brule which was small, but so good.. the perfect size to compliment the end of any meal. Our service was decent. Not horrible but we weren't overly impressed. I feel like when servers see a young couple, they automatically assume we're cheap or just "don't know".. we both spent 6 plus years bartending and waiting tables, so we're not cheap and we do know, and we tip based on service, not expectation. So when we get mediocre service, you get a mediocre tip. Anyway, I'm digressing.. We enjoyed ourselves a lot, and we'll definitely go back for round 2. It's nice to have a higher end local place so close to home. read more

I'm giving it three stars because there was live music, and the stage was 25 feet from our table. The only song I can remember is "Easy Like Sunday Morning". There was a guitar and a drum machine, and it did not make for an enjoyable dinner. It is a typical farm to table restaurant. I feel like if you've seen one, you've seen them all. It was a nice space, and the staff was friendly. The restrooms were clean. There was chicken, seafood, and a bison burger. As expected, it was a limited menu. We just walked in without any real knowledge of the place, which was our mistake. We were underdressed in jeans. Google showed it as $$, but I think it is $$$. read more

My family went to Eighty Acres for brunch. After reading all of the good reviews, I was expecting a fine dining experience. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. I ordered a blueberry muffin and a hamburger with fries. (I know, odd combination.) The muffin was small and came to the table cold. Not room temperature, but refrigerator cold. Maybe warm is too much to ask, but cold? The burger had a nice flavor, but there was too much bun and way too little meat. On top of that, the bun was stale. My wife ordered the omelet special, which was ham and cheese plus some veggies. They used chipped ham! You know, the kind you get at the deli counter. I just don't understand the good reviews. Maybe it's the atmosphere, which I found to be pleasant. But for me, the food has to live up to the atmosphere. read more
