I was looking for a new place to try that's affordable and casual and I stumbled upon Hog's Head. I've been here for burger night, and it keeps bringing my husband and I back. They have a special $5 burgers and fries on Wednesdays and the burgers are delicious! The bun is soft and the burger is nice and juicy. They also have awesome drink specials every night of the week, and there are TV's around the bar so it's a great place to watch a game. The bartender we've had is very friendly and welcoming to those who aren't regulars. read more

Went to this establishment for the first....and probably the last....time. Menu was encouraging, but the food was a TOTAL disappointment. The soup of the day was some sort of beef-something...hard to tell. It was thin broth, that I honestly compared to the broth left in the bottom of a pan when roasting a piece of beef, and then poured into a bowl. ??? The salad was ho-hum boring, nothing great, and was not "loaded with a mountain of cheese"..there was barely any on it. The Italian Hoagie was the kicker, though. It tasted like something I would buy at the grocery store deli case, and went home an microwaved it. It was not crisply baked, as indicated on the menu, and the meat was of low quality, greasy and unappealing. The fries were served almost luke warm. I mentioned this to the wait staff, and she said, "oh", took my uneaten sandwich and put it into a "to-go" container, as I told her I would at least give it to my dog. She had no concern, questions, nothing. Sad. The atmosphere is lovely, and I only wish that the food lived up to the expectations, of the décor and the fabulous menu. We have no interest in returning to even see if this was a fluke. read more

I will give this place the benefit of the doubt and go off my friend's rating of Hog's Head of a 4.5 as well as the feedback I received from my boyfriend after trying their takeout I ordered for him. For this go-around, I will give a 3.5.. A-OK. Definitely open to giving them another shot, though. I met one of my girlfriends here for an early dinner on Monday. It is such a strange and unexpected location for a restaurant I thought, but I love that type of place filled with locals and regulars. Luckily, it was a straight shot from my office to the restaurant. When we got there, we parked across the street and entered through the back(ish) door of the bar. The entire bar turned and stared at us. Maybe they aren't used to new faces? Not sure. We were told there was seating in the dining room which was large and open with quite a few 4+ seat tables. There were a few other families there. Their special of the day was that it was their wing night! Perfect. I love wings. We ordered their buffalo chicken fries to start and they were....heavenly. Not sure why we thought two dozen wings to follow would be a grand idea, but we ordered them anyway - 1 dozen spicy garlic parm, 1/2 doz honey bbq and 1/2 spicy teriyaki. I asked for them extra crispy. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of these wings. The chicken was not very tender and although they were a decent size, they weren't crispy and they seemed to have a lot of gristle on them. We each ate a few, but the number consumed didn't compare to how many we boxed up and eventually just tossed. I also noticed that I was charged full price for the wings instead of their special price of $.50...maybe this was because we boxed them up and took them home? Not a big deal, just something I noticed. So for me personally, the wings were a miss here. I did take Bobby a salmon Caesar salad with an order of fries with gravy on the side. He LOVED the homemade croutons and dressing and raved about the fresh fries and gravy. I have to agree with him - they were excellent. The place was not very busy, only a few other tables with families that had [screaming] children and our waitress was SO friendly. She took great care of us and was willing to accommodate all of our requests. I would definitely give this place another shot, but I think next time I would try something different. It seems like their sandwiches are what they do best. Wouldn't mind having a few drinks here either as their bar was pretty nice and a decent size. read more

Very pleasant local joint. Friendly bartender. Good burger. Cold beer. All the right games on the TV. read more

I love this place! For a smaller establishment, the menu is superb. The staff is so friendly and the owner is the cook and is there almost every day! They also have live music every so often as well as holiday parties. I would recommend this to everyone including families. I also love wing night! read more

Great place for inexpensive drinks and quality food. Good menu and great atmosphere. I ordered a Texan burger and my wife had a hog fish sandwich, both were great. I highly recommend the hogs head bar and grill. read more

3rd time here. Love the food, but service was really slow. It was very busy but only 2 waitresses. Waited 10 minutes before someone cleaned the table. Advertises Fresh French fries but they were frozen. Needs to hire more help. Would not rush back because of the service. read more

Under new management, definitely turning the place around! Food is very good and at very reasonable prices. Great beer selection and nice eat in dining area as well as a separate bar area with plenty of tvs. Going back, definitely recommend this one to friends read more

Went there on a Sunday for the first time since it opened under new management. I had a burger and it was very good, my husband got the "Louie Lipps" fish and he absolutely loved our daughter got wings and enjoyed them tremendously. We will definitely be back. read more

Love their wing night! It gets busy but staff is still attentive and service is fast.

Great food, nice atmosphere, awesome owner! Big menu with large portions, lots of beer selections - all affordable & delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in for a chilled out sunday fixing of some bar food an brews with some friends. It was pretty empty for sunday afternoon so they only had one bartender working which seemed odd.. but She did really good considering it was such a big place inside an she had to cover the bar, the dining area, and get food orders. Bartender was really friendly and welcoming A+.. Place seems it would be good for sporting events as well. Now onto the food. I got a dozen wings and 8 cut pizza. Spicy garlic parm wings were definitely good and meaty an the pizza was even better and on par with the top pizza places in pittsburgh. I would definitely revisit again in the future to try out some different menu items as they give you a great portions so bring your appetite. read more

Been here a couple times and both times everything was on point. From the quality and selection of food to the service and the atmosphere. This place has it all and I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a good time and great food. read more

First time here. Parking lot is across the street and not lit at night. Dining area to the left of a small, cozy bar in the middle of a residential area. You would think with the name it would be strictly a barbecue restaurant. Heck, the sign is a neon pig outside. But the closest thing to barbecue is a pulled pork sandwich. No ribs here, and the only chicken is wings. They have pasta, burgers, salads, fish, hoagies and soup. I heard about the meatloaf in this place from the other reviews, and decided to try it. A large portion of thick sliced meatloaf with gravy and mashed skin on potatoes and gravy. Filling, but not overly flavorful, but heck, meatloaf is NOT a gourmet food. Went to the bar after dinner. Two Jacks and Cokes were $ 8.00 and watched a hockey game with some real knowledgeable Pens fans, who were having discussions over the NHL offsides rules. So I guess I will call this a kind of sports bar. Looks as if they have specials all week, including a wings special on Thursdays which I am definitely going to try next time back. Spent $ 30 with tax and tips, and wasn't hungry or thirsty when I left. read more

Great food! The new owner has really turned things around and revamped both the menu as well as the atmosphere. This place is definitely worth the trip! They even offer specials on both food and beverages on a regular basis! Thumbs up! read more

We ordered steak salad and a seafood pizza, which were both great! Will go there again for sure!!

Excellent. Great service and a great staff. On the ball. All the burgers are incredible and the layout is awesome. Love this little place.

My wife and I heard about this restaurant/bar through a friend and we were not disappointed. The food is great, the people are friendly and the prices you can't beat. We've been there three times since hearing about it and we will continue to stop by. read more

I don't know if I will find my way back to this place, we went there on a cold, cold first night of winter. Great Italian-style fare, and mainly bar food, but my girlfriend and I felt a bit out of place at the bar. If I was a die hard sports fan (I am a Pittsburgher, but those days of caring about scores are behind me), I'd probably call this my first choice watering hole. The bartender was very nice, even though we could not seat ourselves in the dining room due to some sort of restriction (though others were seated there we noticed). Understandible, however. The steak "au jus" was good, but it was just steak-um style diamond-cut steak like they use in cheesesteaks. Would love to see real roast beef like they do for you in Brooklyn, rather than the Pittsburgh midwestern knock-off. Anyway, the meatballs were great and the marinara was very, very nice. Good place for an honest meal. There were some exotic/craft beer selections, but it was your basic IC light, Coors light crowd. In younger days, my dad would have liked it. Had to take Rialto street to get there though -- if you aren't familiar it is one of the world's steepest roads. read more

Solid place.Good wings ,pizza,burger,fries. French dip is my favorite there. Good prices on the food as well. Gets a little loud during the games but that's what happens everywhere during sports games. Great staff who are very attentive and pleasant. My only hangup is that this place would be even greater If they had some higher end drafts on tap. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food at a good price. read more

This place is definitely a gem in disguise. My husband and I went here for dinner. We had the nachos for an appetizer which were great, I had the Cajun steak hoagie, and he had the chicken ranchero wrap. All of our choices were good.. They also have crazy specials throughout the week for food and drinks, so we will definitely be back! You can park across the street in a lot which is convenient because the bar is located on a main road. There is a separate dining area which is nice. Can't wait to try the pizza! read more

Oh Hogs Head. How I love you! The daily specials make for a great deal and the beer selection is super. My favorite part of our past visit was our server Wendy. She was super sweet to my 3 year old son. He even commented that she was the best server ever! If you're looking for a bar with a local feel, good food, and great service, Hogs Head is for you. On second thought, don't go there...I want to make sure there's always room for me! read more

This has to be the best place to eat.the food is always excellent especially the fried mushrooms and beef stroganoff. The waitresses Wendy and Erin are very professional and very friendly couldn't ask for a better staff with them too read more

Wings , burgers and service really good ! Drama free and fresh ingredients ! Prime rib sandwich looked great ! My fellow diners sucked it up with rave reviews ! read more

Awesome Prime Rib French Dip and fries with gravy "GREAT PLACE"

Great food. A little off the beaten path but worth it. Wings cooked to perfection. Louisiana ox sauce is great. Pizzas are incredible!

Food one step above regular bar food. Slim beer list. Get ready to wait...dinner for four on a Friday night...1 1/2 hours. Friendly service especially towards kids. read more

OH SO good. Food was delicious. Staff and atmosphere very friendly. First time visiting this little hideaway. Met a group of friends and had a great time. Good food. Good drinks. Good times. Will definitely be back especially since I've added them to my contacts. YUM! read more

The ribs and pig wing were delicious. The atmosphere and area are somewhat enchanting. The service was just ok. We were there on wine down Wednesday so the $3 wines were a good thing. We will return. read more

We had the French Dip, and the open face roast beef. Both were great. Loved the fries and gravy as well as the vinegar based cole slaw . Great service, good value and we are looking forward to going back to try more. It's clean, spacious and a good atmosphere. Looks like they have very good daily specials. If I had one complaint, perhaps a more diverse craft beer selection is needed but at least they have a couple on tap and more in bottles. We shall be back ! read more

Great neighborhood bar - restaurant with good wings and fabulous pizza. French onion soup is a must and the chicken sandwiches and burgers won't disappoint. There is something for everyone here. read more

The food is and always has been AMAZING!!! I LOVE all of the food I get here.(only place I feel safe trying something different each time) The prices are fantastic as well. For food, prices, and atmosphere you definitely get five stars. I only have three stars because of one of the waitress/bar tenders. Always overwhelmed (even if there are only two customers), not very attentive AT ALL, and a little on the rude side. After a long wait she brought out my friend's drinks, but not mine. She apologized and said she would return. After an additional ten minutes, I finally approached the bar and had the bar tender get me a beer which I then paid for. I returned to my seat and she now tries to bring me the beer I had long waited and already purchased at the bar. I told her I no longer needed it because I had to go the bar and I already paid for a beer. She kept telling me it was already on my bill and I said no, take it off, I already bought a beer. Finally, after a little back and forth she walked away with it... I was actually shocked. Of course I will be back here, we love this place. But maybe talk to your employee... read more

Went here tonight for dinner after seeing the reviews on Yelp. It was worth the travel down the terrible roads to get there. Sign on the outside is a little deceiving..."Grand Opening. 5th times a charm" but the food was quite tasty and my husband was happy with the Guinness on tap. We would definitely go back on another trip to Pittsburgh. read more

Bought a groupon to this little place so the wife and I decided to head over and check it out. This place was AMAZING!!! I got a "this little piggy" burger, which was quite possibly the best burger I have ever had. I will definitely be back. read more

I did try again and again and again. Can't stop going back,. The food is wonderful and the the specials are upscale for a local bar. The waitress was at our table with a menu as soon as we sat down. Service was terrific and the food was excellent. I'll keep going back. Love, love, love the place. read more

Our server, Kelsey, was fantastic. She never let our cups get empty, and she checked on us just enough - but not too much that it seemed like she was bugging us! The food was also delicious. Amazing fries, especially, both the fresh cut and the sweet potato. Some of the items weren't the same price on our slip as they were in the menu, but the discrepancy was so minimal (and the food was so good) that we didn't mind paying an extra dollar or two more than we expected. Don't let the external atmosphere/neighbor steer you away. This place is awesome! read more

Located in a deep hollow on the north side, it is well worth the trip. They post daily specials (both regular and non-recurring) on their Facebook Page. If you see the Hog Wing's special, get your butt over there and enjoy something different; these are NOT your typical chicken wings! Brisket, pulled pork and ribs also well worth it. Bartenders and restaurant staff friendly attentive and helpful. Owner is making this a successful business and I expect greater things from her. If you live in the suburbs you want him to expand to your area. Forget the national chain's blasé food, get out of the far burbs, cross the rivers and give it a try. I guarantee that you'll enjoy your visit! read more

Went there for the first time. Had the salmon with spinach and feta. It was excellent! My husband had the steak sandwich with the egg, fries and coleslaw- I forget the name. Also excellent. The fries were great. Would go again. read more

Great meal with my wife and kids. I enjoyed the porky pig pulled pork sandwich. Everything on the menu looked great. We live in the neighborhood and will be back. read more

This place was great. Food was terrific, waitress was over every 10 minutes, gave my buddy six paintball park coupons just for the hell of it, it was super cheap, It is just a perfect local bar. read more
