    Kristy D.

    Food was amazing!!!! I haven't been here in years.... I'm from Chicago and recently moved. We came here late after an event and they are open til 10pm. It was a Tuesday. We sat at the bar where Keith waited on us. Great experience, nice chatter and service. The ambiance was just perfect. Good music too. I recommend if you never have been. The menu is very flavorful and plenty. Yummmm yummy Bon Appetite. Nice size menu too with variety for a pondering palette

    Beef Wellington

    This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. We went here for my graduation dinner and it was amazing!!! We got soup, salads, meats, pasta and so many drinks! I love their vodka rigatoni so much!!! The salmon was cooked perfectly!! The beef Wellington was perfect and so tasty!! Our server was nice! The inside was clean and very cool looking! Please try this place!

    Steak Tartare
    Jackie W.

    The food was excellent. The tartare was one of the best I've had I just didn't love the bread they served it with. I ordered a dirty martini and asked for a regular olives but it came with blue cheese olives. We put in our appetizer and didn't see our server for at least 20 minutes, we finished our app before she came back to take our order. The steak was cooked perfectly but server disappeared again. Overall food was great, ambiance was fine, service was terrible.

    Cardamadre
    Melanie S.

    i had some time before a show at The Byham, and this restaurant is connected to the Theater District Box Office, so I wandered in after picking up my ticket and grabbed a seat at the bar. It's pretty dark in there, so they have those little green shaded lamps at the bar. I went with the Cardamadre, because it has pineapple and absinthe and sounded interesting. Definitely glad I chose that - it was fruity, but not overly sweet, with some bitterness from the absinthe and spices. I also had an order of fries, which were shoestring cut and came with a garlic aioli. They were a good snack before the show, and while $9 for fries is steep for fast casual, was not bad for a solo diner at a seated restaurant.

    Wow, what a Pittsburgh gem I'd never visited before! We were wandering around searching for dinner in the city, and we came across this place online. Luckily the kind host was able to get us on the wait list on a Friday night, and we were able to get a table! I wish I had more photos, but we enjoyed wine, bread, some apps, and I had a great steak! Our server was delightful and so kind. The food all hit the spot, and I can't stop thinking about great the thin fries were! Everything was great quality, and the low light ambiance was intimate and cozy. I'd add this place onto my list of places to return to in Pittsburgh for sure!

    Truffle Fries - truffle aioli
    Karen H.

    We had reservations at 5pm for four people. Since we went right when it opened, it wasn't busy yet. The inside has a rustic feel with things like plaid chairs and antlers. It consists of a very nice bar area and several tables. We asked to sit outside since it was nice out which was our mistake. DO NOT SIT OUTSIDE ON THEIR PATIO. If you're prone to getting bit by mosquitos, you WILL get bit. We were outside long enough to order food (I looked at the menu online ahead of time and knew what we wanted to family style) and it was enough for me to get NINE very painful mosquito bites. We asked to move inside very quickly and they were accommodating. After that the meal went uphill. Every dish we got was delicious and my favorites were the tomahawk steak, the rigatoni, the Mac and cheese, and the truffle fries. Both desserts were delicious.

    Black Tie Manhattan (101 bourbon, mezcal, averna, vermouth rough, bitters)
    Shane G.

    Seated via OpenTable Reservations Food & Drink: 5 / 5 - Mixed Drink(s): Black Tie Manhattan: Every now and then I like to lean into the personality that comes with a mixed drink and if you prefer a touch of old-school charm, I would recommend a Manhattan. The bartender that evening definitely hit the mark of sophistication that comes with this drink while allowing me to maintain the persona of a "manly man". Clover club (Waitress recommendation): On this evening, I was attending a musical at Benedum Center, so as a result I knew that I could delve in a couple more drinks. Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite thing to do at any restaurant is ask my waiter or waitress for recommendations and she did not disappoint me. I am not a "sweets" person, but this drink was like drinking liquid candy. This reminded me of one of my favorite hard candies that I used to get from my grandma, Arcor Strawberry Filled Bon Bons. I loved this drink so much that I ordered two. - Food: Appetizer - Shrimp scampi: This was the night's special and even though to this day I still cannot say that any seafood in the state of PA is the best, since it is a landlock state. However, I can say this did not disappoint. The side of sourdough bread meshed well with the juice that remained. Entree - Filet Mignon (Medium rare): Steak steak steak....and more steak. Everywhere you turn in Pittsburgh, there is probably a steakhouse within a mile and everyone believes their steak is the best. Although, as any steak lover knows, it is not just the presentation that matters, but how well you prepare it and I can say this steak was definitely prepared well. It was very flavorful and the only issue I had was that there wasn't anymore. It was served with a side of potatoes that were perfectly crispy on the outside while being soft and warm on the inside. Dessert - Pot de crème w/ cookies: By the time I reached dessert, I could tell I was already in my "happy place". I could've eaten a banana as dessert and thought it was amazing, but knew that wouldn't be fair to you all. So, while I waited for them to prepare this dish, I cleansed my pallet with A LOT of water. Overall, it was divine, even though I couldn't pronounce it. My only regret was not dipping my cookies.... Post-dessert - Caesar Salad w/ White Anchovies: As usual, I have a distorted sense of how long it takes to kill time before a show, so we kept it basic and went with the old classic, Caesar salad. However, before my waitress walked away she highly recommended I add anchovies. I know, anchovies on a salad?? no....but actually...yes. The texture and flavor added that kick to the grass we all know they pulled from the ground in the small garden in the back. Service: 5 / 5 - Normally, I rarely have an issue with any service at the restaurants that I go to. I am a very simple person, bring me my food, check on me every now and then, don't show me my bill, and be able to answer any questions that I may have. However, this waitress was definitely up there with service that I would love to expect every time I go. She was very attentive, gave me amazing recommendations, and was able to maintain a basic conversation. She definitely went above and beyond, and her tip reflected that. Whenever I return, I wouldn't mind having her as a regular. Vibe: 5 / 5 - Right off the bat, Meat & Potatoes set the bar high. The host was very friendly and made banter to break that simple awkwardness that exists when you walk up to a restaurant initially. What even made it better, was the existence of what I call a "hype man". The moment this person appeared, he made it known of the vibe that would be set that evening. Normally, I try to avoid eating at the bar because I enjoy the interaction you get from a waiter or waitress, but they almost did sell me on it. Overall, this place definitely gives you that trendy, but classy experience. Overall: 5 / 5 - Whenever I go to a restaurant, my motto has always been, "every experience is a new experience". Just because I give five stars this time, doesn't mean it is always guaranteed. However, it would be an injustice if I gave this place anything, but five stars. From the moment I arrived, to the moment I left, I was immersed in the trendy, but classy experience that Meat & Potatoes had to offer. Definitely plan to return, and try other items on the menu. Hopefully, my next experience is just as enjoyable. Recommend? Yes

    Pork chop with pork belly snd collards...
    Kobie N.

    We had a few starters. Truffle fries and bruss sprouts were the starts. The wedge salad was great. No misses. Balsamic potatoes outstanding. The service spot on. Drinks : my mezcal negroni was tasty and thrme pinot noir went well with the chop as suggested by waitress. The main: pork chop smokey tender more than filling. Collards!! Nough said.

    Tuna tartare
    Evie N.

    Where to start?! My husband and I were visiting Pittsburgh for the Steelers game, while researching restaurants this was a top contender, and it did not disappoint. It is a small intimate restaurant, cool decor on the walls, and welcoming staff. Our server was so sweet and helpful, gave great recommendations during our dinner. To start we got the tuna tartare- probably one of the best tuna tartare I've had. The rice cake was so light and airy, while the tuna was perfectly flavored and fresh. For dinner, we split the filet mignon which came with scalloped potatoes and we ordered a side of mashed potatoes. My husband is a mashed potatoes snob, he literally licked the plate. We ordered our filet medium rare, it was cooked to perfection and really loved the mushrooms on top. The scalloped potatoes were also divine, so crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. Would highly recommend and return if staying longer!

    Pig candy, collard greens, Steak & Frites, Mac & cheese
    Talor B.

    If you're into comfort food with a fancy twist, this spot is a must-try. The vibe is super cozy--dim lighting, modern decor, and just the right amount of fancy without feeling over the top. I ordered the pig candy and it was tasty. The meat could have been a little more tender it practically was a pork chop with a crispy, caramelized edge that added just the right amount of crunch. The mac & cheese was rich, could have been a little creamier , and topped with a Cheeto crust that made every bite extra satisfying. Together, the two dishes hit all the comfort food notes but with a little extra flair. The collard greens I tried were a standout, too. Smoky, a little vinegary, and perfectly cooked--not mushy, just hearty and flavorful. You could tell a lot of love went into making them. The staff was friendly and on point, and the overall vibe made it great for a chill dinner with friends or a low-key date night. This spot nails that balance of comforting and elevated. Definitely going back for that pork belly!

    Modern gastropub serving delicious New American dinners, diverse brunch items & creative cocktails. Located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, within walking distance of the Cultural District.  A warm and welcoming space that features comfort foods, along with classics with a twist and simple dishes that are satisfying. Their mixed drinks are rustic and inventive- very thoughtful and tasteful! Had the Caramel Appletini Cocktail, Welsh Rarebit, Fried Brussels, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, Shrimp and Grits Every single thing was incredible, full of flavor & perfectly curated with spices! Highly recommend grabbing tickets for a show& making a reservation at Meat and Potatoes!

    Ask the Community - Meat & Potatoes

    Does this restaurants have tv's to watch sports?

    No.

    Can you eat at the bar?

    Yes!

    Does anyone know if they are taking reservations yet? If they are not, when they may begin taking reservations?

    We are currently taking reservations!

    Is Meat and Potatoes having a feast of the seven fishes on Dec 24?

    Hi Carol! Yes, Meat & Potatoes is having the Feast of Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve! Please call… Read more

    Is it busy during brunch?

    I've never been during brunch, but M&P is usually busy. I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you know when you'll be going there. You can easily do it online. I've never had a problem.

    Okay, coming in 8 hours from out of town for my boyfriends birthday and am having a lot of trouble deciding between making reservations at Meat & Potatoes and Butcher and the Rye? Can anyone help a girl out?

    They are equally good in their own ways. Perhaps see which menu calls you to more, or which one has openings for a reservation? Not super helpful in narrowing it down for you, but it's a tie for me. Go to both :-)

    Any gluten free accomodations?

    I have a dairy allergy (surprisingly more difficult to accommodate than gluten in many cases) and the servers here have been amazing. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of options.

    Going here for a birthday date night with the boyfriend is there any special requests revolving seating I can make?

    Get reservations very early. Seating to left of entryway gives an outside view. If 4 or more people there is a separate side room for groups. Call early.

The toum was great too, perfectly garlicky. And the chicken was delicious, with a solid portion. A bit on the expensive side though. The vinegar pie sounded super unique and intriguing so I gave that a shot. So glad I did! This is delicious. I can't even really describe it; there's a tiny note of acidity to it, but it's also super sweet. A nice little brown topping as well. It's just really good and you should try it. All in all, recommend this spot. The inside area we were sitting at was a little bleak but other than that, it is a nice place to be!

If you've had a famous, fast food chains signature burger with thousand island dressing you will find similarities. I did find the flatbread crust was a little bit to thick for my liking and there was more sauce on it than there was actual meat. It was OK. They have a private lot, which is fantastic as parking is at such a premium in the city.
