Server is always friendly and the food is always wonderful. They have great variety for adults and food that's kids will actually eat.

We love the North Park Lounge and so does everybody else. Tonight at 6:30 there was a 25 minute wait. We were seated within 15 minutes. There combo meals are the best deals on their menu. Pizza and wings. Pizza and salad. Hoagie and wings. Generous portions! read more

North Park Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The food is not bad it's the bar that has hit the all time low . I personally think the bartenders have run this place to the ground and the management can't see this or will not fix it. It seems like they tend to the regulars. But don't just take my word go in there on a Friday night and there r 3 people at the bar. Strange this placed boomed pre covid but now it sucks. Well the only good thing I can say is the food not bad read more

This place is so tired. The menu is from 1990 and anyone who ever ate there regularly since then has probably had a couple bypass procedures by now. read more

Local restaurant I always visit when I am in town. Solid pub food that is reasonably priced and usually good service that is friendly and sincere. My go to are wings or the Italian Hoagie. read more

Always a good time. Love the view and laid back atmosphere!! Food is delicious as always!!

My husband and I went to dinner at NPL on a Thursday evening, and it was unbelievably packed! Little did we know that their special was "Taco Thursday" with additional Mexican dishes on the menu. Also, there was as Steelers preseason game on that will help draw a crowd. To my surprise, we did not have to wait to be seated. The walkways between tables are very narrow and make it difficult to pass guests/employees if you must pass them by. I like the variety of food that NPL has to offer. Anything from sandwiches, salads, and burgers, to pasta dishes, pizza, and wings. With so many options, it was hard to decide! We settled on the cheese stuffed pretzel for an appetizer - now, I expected this item to be a soft pretzel filled with cheese. Nope! It was one of the pretzel rolls that they use for the sandwiches with slices of cheese melted in between. I was not impressed, however, it tasted ok especially when dipped in honey mustard. For my dinner, I ordered the 6" hot Italian sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I was pleasantly surprised! The sandwich was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed the fries although they didn't come with any sort of dipping sauce (and I wasn't going to dip them in ketchup) which was a slight disappointment. My meal was very filling and I was able to take half of the sandwich home to have at a later date. I'll give props to this place for the atmosphere they have developed: a popcorn machine filled to the top with freshly made buttered popcorn, a spinning wheel for entertainment, and TV's everywhere to watch any game. Of course, they have an extensive list of beverages for you to enjoy as well. A screened in porch provides an opportunity to sit outside when the weather is nice. Every staff member we encountered was very attentive and nice. Overall, my experience was satisfying. Decent food, reasonably priced, friendly staff, and a lot events/specials going on at all times. We will probably be back for some football this fall. read more

I started coming to this place after a friend recommended the French onion dip & chips. They made the dip themselves & was worth the trip across the city. Well, after reopening, the discontinued it along with a lot of other items. Guess I won't be putting the extra miles on my vehicle to visit. Seriously, the dip was truly worth trip read more

Tried to get a drink here recently but could not get inside the building 2 hours before their closing time. It was raining and we stood at the door trying to get in while other customers and staff just pretended not to see us there. Very rude and disappointing. read more

Stopped by for dinner after shopping in north hills one evening. I ordered a fish sandwich and fries. It wasn't bad. It was also filling. My bf ordered the eggplant parmesan entree. He felt the sauce on the pasta did not taste homemade but loved the actual eggplant and meatballs. His entree was also served with garlic knots and choice of soup or salad. Great entree deal. Not a bad option for north hills read more

Really enjoyed my meal here after hiking in North Park. The atmosphere is casual, there is seating both inside and outside, and the wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I heard this was the place for fish, so I went with the broiled cod cooked with fresh orange slices and side of broccoli. The dish was simple and tasty, and I left feeling very satisfied with my meal. The spinach artichoke dip is also a great item to share. Overall, you are coming here for ambiance that is lively yet relaxing at the same time. read more

The North Park lounge will not blow your mind, but it's consistent and decent food. The general vibe is a neighborhood bar feeling, similar cliental to an Applebee's. But I'd rather service a local establishment. There are tvs everywhere, which is slightly distracting. I've never had great service here, but it's typically at least acceptable. I usually order the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It's not overwhelmingly spicy, but it still packs a punch. Otherwise, I wouldn't get anything exotic here, but the standard menu fare is just fine. My only complaint is you cannot really eat "healthy" here if you so chose. The portions are outrageous, and everything comes with French Fries. Would a fruit side without an up charge kill anyone? read more

Worst experience ever! Sat at the bar for over a half hour before my order was taken. Bartenders spent more time talking to friends rather than meeting the needs of customers. When my order was finally (turkey club sandwich) taken it came out wrong and I had to send it back. When I addressed the issues with the bartender she was rude and both she and the other bartender avoided me the rest of the evening. I get that this is a local establishment who caters to returning clientele. But that should never detract from ensuring that all customers are their focus! read more

Though NPL boasts an extensive menu with lots of good choices, I'm awarding a fourth star for one appetizer (which might as well be an entree): the delicious, creative, and well-executed BBQ Chicken Ranch Dip. A multi-cheese blend is swirled with barbecue sauce and a hint of ranch dressing, topped with a generous helping of chicken chunks, and served next to a basket of tortilla chips with which to scoop the gooey and hearty symphony of salt, meat and cheese. I haven't had the chance to explore a significant number of the offerings, but I suspect there are a few other gems scattered throughout the less impressive options--which are still not bad. read more

Not using Yelp waitlist and we arrived to find a 40 min wait. Families rely on these tools to make decisions where to go.

The lounge fries. Oh god, god yes. That's all you need to order, and that's all you need to know. Oh, and the beer and the people are also both great. read more

Fun place to go to get your drink or grub on... We went on a Sunday afternoon and had lunch. I ordered the Colossal Fish w onion rings, my son ordered the Chicken Flatbread, other son ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and my wive ordered the Cuban. The fish could feed 2 people, the flatbread was delicious and the quesadilla was gone before I had a chance for a bite. The Cuban was the only problem. It came out w a full plate of fries but the sandwich was very 'wet'. Not sure if it was butter or what from putting it on the griddle but even after sipping it up w a napkin- it wasn't very appealing. The inside filling looked great but the wet bread kinda ruined it. Watching all the other delicious foods coming out of the Kitchen ensured we'll be back and I'll be the one to select my wife's meal. read more

This place always has great meals!! Appetizers to lunch or dinner!! You can watch a sports game and hang out with good people.. when I lived by here in the late 90s I used to go more than 2-3 times a week. Whenever I'm in the North hills it's a must visit. The staff is AWESOME! Enjoy read more

North Park Lounge is a place I go to regularly because it's just so darn good and consistent. Get the Lounge Fries (maybe with a side of Lipitor??) because they're fried, cheesy glorious-ness. They are a must have at NPL. As far as entrees go, I have many favorites. The Black and Blue cheeseburger is delicious with caramelized onions and bleu cheese on a 1/2 lb quality patty of beef. The Italian hoagie has the perfect ratio of toasted crustiness to softness of the bread. The meat isn't that mystery meat you get at other places but lean, flavorful Italian meats. The French Onion soup is served in a generous crock with an even more generous portion of cheese melted and gooey on top. So good on a fall or winter day. The salads are huge. The steak salad is one of my favorites in the area and is served "Pittsburgh-style" with French fries on it (of course!). The servers are friendly and many of them have been there for years. Always quick to refill your drink or give you a recommendation if you can't decide what to order. There are a TON of TVs, so definitely a great place to catch a game. They have lots of events and contests that go on (Karaoke, Trivia night, etc.) so something to check out when you're there. read more

Service was exceptional and our food was amazing. First time visiting and won't be my last - this will be my go to when in Pittsburgh visiting the kid. read more

After looking at reviews, my wife and I decided to try NPL on a Friday night. Like most restaurants on Friday, either show up early or be prepared to wait. Even though it was a cold night, we were sat on the patio. It was nice because they had a fire place and heaters and the patio is less crowded and cramped than the seats inside. The wait staff was ok, but i was not overly impressed. It is tough to judge on only one visit, but I don't like to have an empty drink cup for as long as we had. The food was above average bar food. We ended up ordering the Lounge fries and the giant fish sandwich with a side of onion rings. The cheese sauce on the fries was delicious and much better than the neon orange cheese sauce you get at a lot of other places. The fish was cod and was pretty good but a little greasy. Overall, we did not leave hungry and I would order everything we did again. read more

North Park Lounge is always a go to when you can't think of anything else, but it's always pretty decent. Best deal half a hoagie and 2 small pieces of pizza. Also, an amazing fish sandwich. read more

Vegetarian options are always a disappointment. I've ordered every meat free option on the menu & the food always tastes bland.

Ordered cheese filled pretzel got a hamburger bun with cheese inside and they didn't mention it and charged me the full amount... very dumb

Love this place. Have always had tremendous service while enjoying a fantastic meal. I have had the Texan burger, Apple Walnut salad, French onion soup, lounge fries, the nachos, Turkey bacon Swiss pretzel sandwich and the Cajun chicken pasta which is by far my favorite, but they are all excellent choices at a fair price. The portions are huge and you will most likely have leftovers. Parking lot is huge and there are plenty of spaces. Tv's are throughout the restaurant and have a variety of different games on. read more

We came in with a large party of 20-25 people. We didn't call the restaurant before hand to let them know that we were coming in, and they were still able to accommodate us, no problem. I got a Coney Island root beer, and I have to say, I think I like the Coney Island brand better than Not Your Fathers. I also got an Italian hot sub, and it was perfect. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop by for some good eats. read more

My co-workers and I come here for lunch several times a week. The wait staff has come to know us and do all they can to help us speed through the lunch break, since we get only 45 minutes! The food is terrific, especially the French fries! And we all love the homemade ranch dressing. They have a lunchtime loyalty program, and if you go on your birthday, you get to spin the wheel for a variety of prizes! Lots of fun and great food . . .what more could you ask for? read more

This place has the nicest and most helpful staff, they catered to our party of 40. Food was great, they were fast with our orders and drinks, I WILL be coming back here when I visit Pittsburg again. 10/10 service and food, thank you for everything! Must visit place. read more

Worth the trip just for the ranch dressing alone! I haven't been here in years and as native Pittsburgher returning to the area - this is the kind of food I've been missing! Good service, lots of choices, fast and fresh! I had the chicken tortellini salad....and I'll be back to have it again and again! read more

Don't you love when you call a restaurant to ensure they can seat you with your dogs, and finally find one that confirms they can seat you on the patio over the phone. What a great feeling. It's also my personal favorite when you show up a few minutes later only to be turned away rudely by the incompetent front end employees. If they can't train their front end staff with basic customer service skills, why would i believe that they bother to train their back of house with food safety skills? I wouldn't. Would you? read more

North Park Lounge is close to home for us, so its always a good option for a dinner out when we dont want to drive outside the neighborhood. At this North Hills location there is often a fairly long wait on weekends, but of course you can grab a drink from the bar while you wait -which makes the wait not so bad. I have never had unfriendly or bad service here and the food is always solid, although it is also fairly average. However, I have never had anything come out cold or not the way I wanted it. Their french onion soup is AMAZING and the lounge fried and burgers are really good - juicy, hot and never dry. They are always a winner. Other menu items like their salads and other non-burger sandwiches are just OK and slightly underwhelming...Ive had the grilled chicken salad with the fries and the buffalo chicken salad- they are just average for me - Its usually just a lot of lettuce with few toppings (chicken included) - I like a lot of "stuff" in my salads and if I am eating a large dinner salad out, I want it to have a good lettuce to "stuff" ratio, which these often don't. But this is just a personal preference. I'm not from the North Hills, nor am I from Pittsburgh originally. I find that those who grew up in the area are pretty loyal to this place and it almost has a cult-like following for them. As an outsider, its just a pretty average neighborhood place to get a burger and a beer. Still wont stop us from heading back for dinner in the area, or if the mood strikes for a crock of french onion soup close to home. read more

Mmm. That pulled pork. The food was so good. For takeout, I'd put them in my top 5. My sandwich was hot and fairly neat in the takeout container, everything that was supposed to be crisp was, and I was not disappointed. read more

Just visiting area staying in a nearby motel. Drove by and saw a parking lot full of cars so decided to give it a try for a casual dinner. Both wife and I picked the "small" fried cod fish sandwich. It was great. A thick piece of flakey cod fried to perfection. So big it stuck outside the big bun about 1inch on both sides. I can't imagine the size of the large sandwich. Actually, my wife and I could have split one sandwich and been satisfied. Sandwich came with an over abundance of French fries and a tasty dish of Cole slaw. Service was most friendly and meal was served most promptly. We would both order the fish sandwich again at the NPL. There were many other interesting options. Place was very busy and TV's filled the walls. Will return when in town. read more

$8 for a Sam Adams stout !?! The italian hoagies are good. I've heard that the pizza is good. The wings are just ok (too salty, too fatty). I think the food at the Route 8 NPL clubhouse location is better. read more

A dive bar with a family atmosphere, north park lounge is a great place to hang out. The food did not disappoint and the service is very good. If you're looking for the American experience, it's here, with televisions at every table in addition to several larger ones at the bar. read more

North Park Lounge - For the kids, ya know - Lounges Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

First time here. Had a gift card and figured we'd give it a try. Very long wait for a table. Assumed that meant it was a good restaurant. Well. We were wrong. After we finally got seated after 30 minute, no one took our drink order for nearly 10 minutes. Once we got our drinks I asked for a menu. The server pointed to the QR code to get the digital menu. Didn't have an issue, just annoyed they assumed we'd know to do that after sitting g there nearly 25 minutes without even ordering appetizers. Margarita I ordered was one of the worst I've had. All mixer. Blah. Nachos were on par with Sheetz nachos. My chicken parm was the saltiest food I've ever had. We had a decent balance left on the gift card but we threw it away. We won't be back. Yuck. Service wasn't overly friendly or helpful. read more

Love this place! Good food and nice atmosphere. Service is fast. Amazed how they turn tables so quickly

Great margarita flatbread. We love the outdoor swinging table and the little houses outside. I enjoyed the French onion soup and chocolate milkshake. The wings are good but a little soggy. That's probably because we had those ordered to-go and I'm sure since they've been recommended to us, they are much better if eaten there. read more

Always good food! Love everything they make here and never disappointed with staff. From salads to desert great meal all the way around
