Stopped here as it was on DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here on Food Network. It truly is a little dive bar with hardly no signage which means locals just know. Food was good. Service was good. No complaints. read more

Nadine's - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I've been going to Nadine's for as long as I can remember and it's always been a good experience. This South Side, no-nonsense bar/restaurant puts out some darn good bar-style comfort food. By the way, when I say no-nonsense, it's no joke...food is served on paper plates. This beer & shot dive bar is as old school Pittsburgh as you can get. Service is no-nonsense, old school, and good. read more

3.75. I saw this place years ago on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives and have wanted to try it ever since. For some reason we just never went despite many visits to the South Side. One night recently when undecided of where to have dinner my wife said hey we've been wanting to try Nadine's so let's go. When we pulled up it lived up I was pleased to see they had their own parking lot. First impression of outside and inside was that it was definitely a dive bar, but that's not a bad thing. It's a tiny little place, long and narrow. It seemed like most of the patrons were local regulars. The menu was bigger than I expected and was surprised to see that they even offer breakfast service. We sat at the bar and we were quickly greeted. I decided to try the soup of the day which was lasagna soup. It wasn't bad, but not amazing. It could have had a little more seasoning. I then ordered a Reuben and my wife had a cheesesteak. The food was cooked right in front of us on a tiny little griddle behind the bar. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. It was all pretty solid. My wife seemed to enjoy her sandwich as did I. I should have asked for more Russian dressing for my Reuben but it was good. read more

This place is an iconic Dive bar! As seen in Dinors drive in and dives it really does deliver. That grill has magical powers! Delicious meal. The bar tender/cook served you like a sushi chef! read more

This place is def your local diner and a must-try when you're not from the area! I have been around this place for awhile and am just now trying it. Their breakfast is top tier and their servings are very generous. I was served right away since I came at 8am after a long night shift and the place wasn't too busy, and this hit the spot! read more

I was able to return to Nadine's after a five year absence. I was in the area and decided to stop for breakfast. I arrived around 7:40 AM on a Friday morning. Parking is still free, most seating is at the bar and there are a few tables. I had two eggs over medium, sausage, with home fries. All food was served pretty quickly. Nadine's is very clean and everyone was friendly. This is a quality stop in the Southside. I'm glad I popped back in. It was missed. read more

Nadine's - Two eggs over medium with sausage and home fries - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Very friendly people, we had breakfast and it was very good! Would recommend to go there and get a great breakfast!

This is definitely a no frills kind of spot, but with friendly bar staff who can cook. We stopped in on a Saturday evening and sat down at the bar. There looked to be a few tables towards the back, but the place is small and its majority bar seating. We ordered two blue moons at $4.50 each, a cheeseburger with fries, and the roast beef sandwich with fries and gravy. I was surprised to see that the grill is located right at the bar. We watched as our food was prepared by the same bartender serving our drinks! The food was decent. Exactly what was expected. The burger was a good size patty and they stuck two pieces of cheese on there with the lettuce and tomato I asked for. The roast beef sandwich and fries were smothered with a thick, flavorful gravy. Everything is served on paper plates. It definitely gives off a family bbq vibe! read more

You can't go wrong with Nadine's. A great neighborhood spot with good diner food. I've never had a bad experience here. The food comes out good every visit, and the service is always good. read more

I've been living in the south side for a year and a half and always wanted to try Nadine's. I can't believe it took me this long. I went for the breakfast on a Saturday and it was quite busy. I did take out as it was pretty packed that day. But the food was delicious and affordable. I didn't even have enough time to take pictures beforehand as I was very hungry. But I will definitely be back!! Recommend for a cheap and good breakfast/brunch! read more

Nadine's is a great spot In southside! Has been on diners drive ins and dives - for good reason! A casual hole in the wall that's a Pittsburgh staple! Great food and spot! read more

Great little bar! Finally had the pleasure of checking this place out on New Year's Day. It was packed and so fun. We all got breakfast food to sop up our hangovers. The bartender/waitress was super friendly and efficient. We were served in a timely manner and enjoyed our breakfast. We sat right by the Guy Fieri posters so it was cool to read the history of the restaurant and their Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives write up. Will definitely return! read more

Wow what a wonderful place. Family owned, operated and run. So down to earth is the atmosphere and the patrons. I sat at the bar for lunch and I had homemade stuffed pepper soup and a homemade pulled pork sangwitch. All the food is from scratch and local and amazing. The staff is so attentive. I always feel like I'm in my Mum's kitchen when I stop at Nadine's. I love you Nadine and the whole family. read more

I ended up at Nadine's because I wanted a drink, and when I asked my phone for the closest bar, it looked expensive so I went to the second-closest instead. That was Nadine's. It wasn't expensive. It was relaxed and fun. I got the famous fried bologna sandwich. I don't think I would want to eat very many fried bologna sandwiches but this one was good and I do not regret my choice. A couple of days later I was on the way out of town and needed breakfast. "Hey," I said. "Why don't I got to Nadine's?" I went to Nadine's and got the Mixed Grill, which is a plate with a little bit of everything. (Eggs, b acon, peppers, sausage, potatoes, etc.). . It was good and it was cheap. I like Nadine's. Would I go back? 100%. I *did* go back. read more

This is a basic breakfast and lunch diner at a very competitive price. Figure $8-$12 for a large breakfast with omelette or eggs, toast, meat and home fries. The portions are large, always cooked to order. There are typically two people working, a waitress and a cook. You get to witness the preparation. They have a fairly wide selection of breakfast items to choose from, and lunch specials. There are some picnic tables outside, if you want to escape the smoker-friendly atmosphere inside. They sell draft beer also. read more

Great lunch place, good food, fast and good service Never had a bad meal. Really good fish sandwich read more

Fried bologna sandwich the way to go. Proper dive bar cheap booze and good bar food at reasonable prices

Nadine's is one the best hidden gems in the south side! If you are in the area and looking for some good home cooked food then you need to visit Nadine's! It's still probably the best stuffed peppers I ever had. read more

I wish this wasn't on Diners, Dives and Drive ins because if I had just discovered it on my own I would have been thrilled. I do want to try their breakfast though. It was diner food but it was served fast and friendly. I liked the music and the general spirit of the people at 8 pm on a Saturday. They were like friendly regulars that knew about this little secret. read more

The food was good and basic. Minimal spices. The sausage biscuits and gravy tasted like just that. Regular gravy, sausage separate, and biscuits. Breakfast scramble was just what it said on the menu. Nothing more. Lackluster and commonplace are also good definitions. I don't think you'll get a bad meal here, but you also won't get a great one. Served on paper plates and the coffee mugs were probably bought at the goodwill next door. Nice looking part of Southside. Pretty quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. Quaint outdoor seating. Serves alcohol in the morning though shrug ‍. 3 outa 5 it'll survive. read more

Nadine's Lives up to it's hype! I love the breakfasts here, the hometown no nonsense feel. Plus it's a bar, so there's that!!

Nadine's doesn't have any frills--the food is even served on paper plates-- however, they serve a quick, cheap, and delicious breakfast! I ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage on an English muffin and a side of home fries. The food is cooked right behind the bar and brought right to you when it's finished! The service was also phenomenal. Our waiter checked on us frequently and had our food out to us very quickly. Nadine's is known for serving alcohol early and is a popular spot among locals for a morning drink any day of the week. For what it is, Nadine's gets five stars! read more

Went to Nadine's for breakfast with my wife. We sat at the counter as the place was packed. The waitress came write over with menus and asked what we wanted too drink. I had 2 eggs over easy with bacon and home fries and white toast. The food was ok nothing special at all. The home fries where lacking in taste. The eggs where cooked correctly and tasted fine. The one nice thing is they do have there own parking lot so as long as it is not too busy you do not have too pay for parking. The staff where friendly and the service was fast. Unfortunately I was not thrilled with the food as it really was nothing special. With all the other choices for diners and breakfast food I would say I would not go back again at least for breakfast. read more

We came for brunch on the weekend, and the place was packed. They seemed short staffed when we were there. It probably took an hour from when we first stepped in to when we got our food. The atmosphere though was incredible. Everyone seemed to know each other and they were just hanging out at their friend's diner. The food was great and affordable. I had two eggs with sausage and hash browns. We actually met Nadine and she was the nicest lady. I'm not sure I would come back though when there are so many options nearby. There was no AC when we were there and the staff was smoking inside by the door. read more

My 1st attempt food was ok, chili good and fun noisy atmosphere with one table next to back door exit & restroom but after 2nd try will not go back. We like hole in the wall type bars with some home cooking but meat on hoagies were too thick & tough to chew, condiments exploded off the bun when trying to hold & eat, the hot sausage hoagie meat was burnt to a crisp along with peppers/onions, claim chowder thick as mayonnaise with generous portion but hardly any claims in it. Suggest the Double Wide near by or Danny's in Bethel P for best Hoagies. read more

Always go after working a night shift! The best diner food out there! A hole in the wall, small and can get packed, cheap drinks, mixed drinks are exactly what you would expect for the price, and all the breakfast is greasy and delicious! Breakfast sandwich cooked perfectly, the mixed grill is always my go to! The coffee is definition of diner coffee and they'll easily make it an Irish coffee if you ask! Only have been for breakfast but expect to see a lot of shift workers relaxing after long nights! read more

They're open for business if you want to watch sports and eat/drink at the bar. I called ahead to pick up sandwiches for dinner since we needed to eat and few places are open on Mondays. The Ruben was so good my coworkers were jealous when they smelled me heating up the other half in the microwave. Hubby got the roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy--very hearty. Conclusion: fast, cheap, and delicious. read more

Best little diner in PGH. Tight quarters in the dining area make for a unique experience. Our party of four crowded around a hi boy right by the door and had an absolute blast. Simple and stiff Bloody Marys (when I am in need of a Bloody Mary I don't want a salad) and all of our breakfast entrees were quickly served, generous, and hot! Our guests said Nadine's was their favorite part of a two day trip to the city. read more

Will return... just baffled by the refusal to write a basic menu on a chalkboard of some type. To listen to the waitress rattle off the selections is a fun audio but challenging memory experience. The mystery of prices is the next challenge. Unknown until the bill.. go for no meat just pasta.. you may not luck out. Enjoy BYOB.. just give some prices as it's a cash only restaurant .. please please read more

I absolutely love Nadine's breakfast! The food is amazing and the service is top notch. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great breakfast spot. The eggs are cooked perfectly and the bacon is crispy. The coffee is also great. I really appreciate the fact that Nadine's offers a wide variety of breakfast options, including breakfast hoagie & western omelette. The atmosphere at Nadine's is really cozy and inviting. It's the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with friends or family. I can't say enough good things about Nadine's breakfast. If you're looking for a great breakfast spot in town, this is the place to go! read more

"Where do you find these people?" This was Earl's question to our friend Brad, a regular and local (you probably know him). Well, my wife, our other friend, and I live in California. I don't think he held that against us, though. We all had a good time here after a recent Steelers game. I hope yinz appreciate places like Nadine's, because similar establishments are hard to come by where we live. I have no idea where I could get a fried bologna sandwich in SoCal (although I'm sure some hipster gastropub will be featuring one soon). And Yuengling? Forget about it! I have to say, though, that the people here are probably the biggest draw. Neighborhood hangouts like this are a prized commodity in our ever-changing world. Whether you're a fifth-generation Southsider or a tourist from a far, exotic land like Orange County (don't call it "The OC"), you will feel right at home at Nadine's. I attached this picture for Earl, so he'll remember what a mimosa is and what to charge. P.S. Don't forget to sign the guest book. read more

TY saw this on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (Episode 313 All in the Family), so it was a must-stop. It was a small little stand-alone building at one end of South Side and you wouldn't know what it was except for the neon sign and the banner outside claiming its recent celebrity status. It's one of those places where you step in and what you see is what you get. And what you see is one long bar with a bunch of stools, a couple of high top tables and a few regular ones, and that's it. It runs lengthwise and sprinkled around are various slot/poker machines. There are a few flat screens and TVs scattered around with the game on. They have the specials listed right next to the door and Nadine herself was behind the counter, having a smoke. Which leads me to the four-star status. I just don't like smoke when I'm eating. I don't like it when I'm not eating, but I especially don't like it when I am trying to savor food. I know it's legal and all in PA, but it still ruins the experience. But in a way, enhances it, because you would expect it to be a smoke-filled kind of place. Anyway, their specials are $4.50 and I had the bowl of chili and grilled cheese sandwich. TY had the meatball sandwich and both were exceptional. The blond woman who took our order was just as nice as can be. Be sure to stop by if you're in Pittsburgh! Definitely a godsend after eating at Nakama the night before! read more

Nadine's is a South Side staple. It's a restaurant/bar that's been iconic forever. Whether it's 2am or 2pm Nadines is a great place to visit. The food here is your typical diner food with extremely low prices. When you walk in you'll see the large bar with seats all around. It is a seat yourself place and sometimes there's none available but it's worth the wait. Also, the drinks here are extremely cheap. You can come here get 2 bloody Mary's and food and it'll be around $10-$15 which is unheard. Some food items I like here are their breakfast hoagie and the mixed grill. If there's any kind of special on the board get it!!! Especially whatever soup of the day it is. If you're lucky it'll be broccoli and cheddar which is some of the best I've ever had. I couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

I have been here a few times but only for drinks I never ate here until yesterday. I went yesterday with my dad and cousin after they helped me make a garden in my back yard and we wanted a place we could get drinks and good food and we were not disappointed with our choice. I got the chicken quesadilla and it was delicious super crispy on the outside with melty cheese, chicken and peppers on the inside. I also got the fresh cut fries which were also perfect. The service was excellent it was very fast and friendly. I would definitely like to come back here and try more of their food on the menu. I also like the laid back vibe of this bar. read more
