Easily some of the best fried chicken one can find in the Pittsburgh area. The chicken is…read moreconsistently juicy, the breading is always crunchy, and the seasoning blend has a zing to it without being spicy. I always ask for extra seasoning!

Dined in tonight and started with the fried pickles and pretzels. The pickles were a mix of spears…read moreand chips with just the right amount of seasoning and they came with a tasty horseradish dipping sauce. The pretzels were nice and hot, crisp on the outside but chewy on the inside with a generous serving of beer cheese. The restaurant was steady but not crazy busy. The atmosphere was good not too quiet but not too loud, we were sat in the first dining room when you come on from the lobby. Our waitress Maddie was very friendly and efficient. We didn't have to ask for anything she was constantly checking on us. We all had a version of chicken and most of us had taters (they always hit the spot)!

We included Frisch's in one of our taste-off meals. This particular taste off was for fried chicken…read morestrips. Frisch's did not win! However, I also bought the broasted chicken. That was a winner. Crispy outside, moist inside. It was a busy Sunday and they were swamped with catering orders. I was warned that it would take 25 minutes for my order to be ready. No problem because I had other competitors' chicken strips to pickup. My order was ready at the appointed time. Atmosphere is a busy deli. All food, hot & cold, is ordered from the front counter. Meat, cheeses, salads, desserts by the pound. Create your own ala carte meal or deli meats to take home. There is a dining room where your prepared food is delivered to your numbered table. I will return to eat in next time.

Not very good...dragged there by my Father who wanted soup…read more Got the fish sandwich, nothing about it was good. The bun was way too big and rock hard stale....the fish was overcooked and tasteless, no amount of lousy Kraft Tartar/Tabasco/Vinegar could save it. Fresh cut fries, which I had high hopes for were dry, bland and overcooked as well. Dining partners weren't too thrilled with their meals as well (Cajun Chicken, boring soup and salad)... I've been to Frisch's a few times, never anything special, but this was the worst. Dining room atmosphere is lifeless... After thinking about it my 2 stars is probably a bit generous...

I usually get the curry chicken but decided to try the oxtail this time. It was so tender and flavorful, I wish I got the bigger size. My boyfriend always get the jerk chicken and he loves that too. It's got a little kick but not terribly spicy. I usually get their Mac and cheese too, it's sooo creamy and cheesy and delicious, but they were out this time, so go earlier if you want it. I'm always happy to grab some take out here, and it's pretty small inside so you probably don't want to dine in.

Note: this is a review of the food truck, not the restaurant…read more Leon's was running a food truck at the Pittsburgh Soul Food Festival downtown today. Tonight I got a plate of the brown stew chicken. Started with the rice and beans - those had good flavor and seasoning. The chicken was juicy and well-infused with the gravy sauce. Little bit of spice, little bit of sweet, just very amazing. Portion was plentiful. The gentleman operating the food truck was down to earth and friendly. I lived what I got and would be thrilled to get over to their other locations sometime, but in the meantime, happy if they can bring the truck my way again!

This is definitely a local gem. The location I visited was off Fifth Ave not too far from Carlow University, which is where we were dropping our kid off at college. I heard the chicken and catfish were really good and you get your money worth. There was free parking. No place to eat inside just seats for waiting. Cash only!! There is an ATM inside the restaurant. Staff was friendly. I kept adding on to my large order. Gotta fed the kids. Lol! They cook to order so nice hot, fresh food! Fries were seasoned and delicious. Catfish and oysters were really good. Catfish had just right amount crisp to the nuggets. Oysters good as well. My dad said the shrimp were good. I haven't been able to eat shrimp lately. My son said the chicken wings were really good. Cole slaw was decent and I normally do not eat that out but it was. The staff was nice. The location had ample parking. Nice portion size for money paid. Food was really good. The only downside which I think is universal was fries not good in microwave layer. Wish I had my airfryer to bring them back to life. Anyway, check out Hook in Pittsburgh!!

I have been coming here for years, and it never fails to hit the spot. Even though I don't eat fish, their perfectly seasoned, crispy fried chicken is easily some of the best in the city. My boyfriend is absolutely obsessed with their fish too, we both love that our food always comes out hot, fresh, and delicious.

I just wasn't the biggest fan. The food was edible, but the main dish left a lot to be desired…read more Keep in mind all their food is on the salty side. I tried their catfish nuggets with coleslaw and fries as well as their funnel cake fries. The catfish nuggets just weren't the best. The fish itself was very thin and slimy. There was a ton of gray meat as well. The breading was kind of strange and tasted very strong of cornstarch and vinegar. Some of the breading was falling off, too. Not the best. The coleslaw wasn't any better. It came in a very small portion. Additionally, it was super liquids and sweet. There wasn't any creaminess. Overall not good. The french fries were actually pretty decent, though. They were crispy and cooked well. Soft on the inside. Also, the seasoning was very solid, and they gave me multiple sauces for free, which was also nice. The funnel cake fries also weren't that good. They had this sort of strange flavor that I can only describe as "dirty fried" like there was something there before they entered the fryer. Quite greasy, not enough powdered sugar. Bland and tasted stale. All in all, the place gives cheap food, most of which seems to be somewhat sub-standard. If you really just want something cheap, it's an okay spot, but quality is not the best. There's not space to sit inside, too, so call in for takeout or order online.
