Amazing place - hidden gem! Food was delicious. We sat on porch which was delightful. Server was beyond friendly - we asked for a photo and they grabbed a ring light! Above and beyond. Highly recommend the grilled watermelon, salmon, burger and honey cake. read more

Don't waste your time. Mediocre, luke warm food is not what I enjoy paying for. Thought I was getting true bbq. Brisket is worst I have had in a long time. They tried to make an upscale restaurant at a 9 hole golf course. I was fooled. The reviewed had me thinking I was getting a good meal. Salads were just ok. Wouldn't go again. Just hit the pizza shop across the street. You've been warned. read more

Food was phenomenal! Both entrees were cooked to perfection. We had the filet and the lamb chops. The honey cake we had for dessert was very unique-very light and fresh. All housemaid. Our cocktails were average but all very unique. Our waitress was very patient and helpful with any questions we had. The ambiance was a little lackluster but we did not judge the book by its cover and we were pleasantly surprised!! read more

I went here with my boyfriend to try a new place. It said on their website they were Gluten Free which was very exciting for us since we are both Gluten Free. When we got there, there was a strong smell of spices and I wasnt the biggest fan, but it was okay because we say outside. When we told thr waiter we were GF he said he was to so he made a few suggestions. Normally they have GF buns, but of course my luck they didnt have any that day. Our server was very friendly and made some good suggestions. I got the Ceasar Salad and for $18 bucks I expected much bigger than I got. It was TINY and not worth the money. I did also get the Brisket Soup. This was delicious. They brisket was tender and flavorful. The bowl was a decent size too. My boyfriend got a burger without a bun and his ways pretty good. We also got cheese bread ( think Brazi Bites) but they had no flavor which. I was kind of bummed about. My boyfriend also got a Margherita for 14 bucks in a small 8oz glass was insane. It wasnt terrible but it also wasnt $14 worth. The best dish of the day was the Pistachio Chocolate dessert the waiter recommended. It was so good. Flavorful and rich in chocolate. By far the best thing on the menu and it was the cheapest item too. I think the place really has potential if they lower some of their prices or make adjustments to their portion sizes. They are trying to be fine dining and its a small restaurant at a mid golf course. They won't be able to stay open without those adjustments. read more

Fantastic lunch today. Found this place on yelp since we weren't familiar with the area. The shishito pepper appetizer was delicious. My son got the brisket and mashed potatoes. The servers were attentive. Nice find and recommend giving it a shot. read more

Weird experience, but the food is excellent. The Owl's Nest a Texas pit style bbq restaurant with an elevated setting... ran by Russians lol The meats were great, the sides were lacking, the Russian Honey Cake was 10/10 and a must have. Service was great and I'll be back! read more

Other Yelpers led us here and Owl's Nest did not disappoint! With exceptional service and knowledge of the menu, we tried a couple recommendations we received and enjoyed our view overlooking the Frosty Valley Golf Links' driving range and putting green. The interior was welcoming with a casual ambience. I ordered the Watermelon Witch (aka the Watermelon Mint Lemonade with rum), read more

Owls Nest at Frosty Valley Golf Links - upscale BBQ with a serious twist and even better views. From smoked brisket to handcrafted cocktails, this South Hills standout is redefining Texas-style BBQ with a fine dining touch. We kicked off with the charred shishito peppers--served with house-made sriracha--and let's just say, do not skip. For dinner, we tried the Tailor Made Platter, which lets you build your own BBQ board. We picked brisket, honey pork belly, pulled pork, and chicken breast--plus sides of mac n' cheese, mashed potatoes, and roasted veggies (those grilled vegetables were next-level). Topped it off with Grisha's BBQ sauce--sweet, smoky, and ridiculously good. And the cocktails? Flavor-forward and beautifully crafted. The Smokey Manhattan was a standout. Bonus: I was celebrating my birthday, and they surprised me with a slice of homemade honey cake (complete with candle + a birthday song in Russian). Truly such a thoughtful touch. If you haven't been to Owls Nest yet--make this your next dinner destination. South Hills, this one's a keeper. read more

Way overpriced. Staff seemed clueless as to the menu and what they had available. Bought the Smokeyburger.....was lukewarm and tasteless....We were there for 2 hours and were the only guests eating at the one table...I guess that pretty much sums it up. . read more

I would probably go 4.5 stars if that was an option. The food was generally very good. Most of the menu items are very pricey. Started with the watermelon mint lemonade, which was quite refreshing. Didn't expect it to be carbonated, but really liked it. Had charred broccoli and grilled watermelon as starters. Both were very good. I saw the Smoky Spell Burger come out, and it looked amazing, but we went with the brisket and the shrimp risotto. I loved the latter. The brisket was on the leaner side, so a bit drier and way less fatty than you might typically see, but the barbecue sauce was delicious. I also tasted the smoked duck breast. It was less oily than expected and actually had a bit of a pork texture. Solid. read more

What a treat to discover the Owl's Nest. Eight of us came on a Wednesday night and shared a few appetizers to start. The burrata was beautifully plated and perfect on its own with just a fork, no bread needed. But let me go back a second to the cocktail I ordered. The Green genie was light and refreshing. Maybe not your typical December drink but I was intrigued by the pineapple basil infused lemonade. Not a sweet drink kinda girl, I will say this was perfectly balanced and definitely not too sweet. That hint of basil came through in every sip! Definitely recommend. The brisket with mashed potatoes, and vegetables was plated so uniquely- truly a pleasure to behold for the senses. Now for the taste... tender and lightly smoked. The BBQ sauce is a delicious compliment and not overpowering. I decided that it was impossible to choose desserts so I ordered both the honey cake AND the hidden gem. People!! Save room for dessert! The hidden gem is a fun dessert and the pistachio filling is creamy and light. The honey cake is gorgeous, light and the layers are just perfectly even. I would liken it to a crepe cake. My kids will be happy I'm bringing them home a taste of it! The attention to detail, the cocktails, music and the flavor of the food at the Owl's Nest is definitely worth seeking out for lunch or dinner. read more

Amazing food, drinks, and setting post golf at Frosty Valley. We had the Pink Panther & Espresso Martini cocktail, both great. The Wagyu Brisket starter was melt in your mouth good.

I've tried so many places, but this one has the best way of preparing meat -- no matter what kind you order. They use a special technique that makes it incredibly tender and juicy. Honestly, it's the best meat I've ever had read more

KPIT--Although not super close to the airport, it's well worth the 25 minute drive to enjoy their exquisite food and cocktails. My wife joined me on a layover here and found this place online. Located in a former golf course clubhouse, the ambiance is a bit of a work in progress, but the menu offerings are just outstanding and incredibly unique. My wife had sturgeon, caviar and Russian vodka; and I had duck breast with mashed potatoes and wined pears. They even have a French eel entree which sounds better than...it sounds. We met and had a nice conversation with the owner, and our server Daniel was so knowledgeable and attentive that he may as well be an owner. It's a little pricey, and a lot delicious, and well worth your time to give it a try! read more

You have to try this place. Unbelievable food & tremendous service!! Couldn't be happier with it.

New bbq restaurant at Frosty Valley golf course. Make their own sausage and have a few none traditional items on the menu. A nice outdoor covered porch. Staff was nice and helpful. The Pitmaster Brisket sandywas very good with some cheese, pickles, and a sweet sauce. Really tasty. The brisket was very good, tender and had a smoky flavor. Looking forward to trying some of the other meats on the menu. read more

The honey cornbread was good. The Salmon filet was not, it had no seasoning on it and my first bite had at least 5 bones in it. Not worth $39. The rice was very dry. I expected more from the restaurant, especially at that price point. I often order salmon when eating out, I've never had bones in it. The brisket didn't taste like it was smoked, just like it was cooked in an oven. Disappointed. read more

Vibe: Cozy. Nothing fancy. Very welcoming. Staff: Incredible. It' appears to be owned and run by a family. They are so attentive and proud of their place that you can't help but root for them. Cocktails: Top notch. Four different cocktails ordered at our table. Each one was perfect. Food: I am by no means an expert when it comes to BBQ but I loved the food. I had brisket. It was perfectly smoked (not too much smoke) and fork tender. The BBQ sauce was just how I like it ,not sweet with a vinegar tang. My friend has a burger that made me jealous that I didn't order it. It was a brisket,filet and beef mix. Smoked but still juicy. My other friend has the shrimp risotto. My Italian approved of it which is probably the first restaurant risotto she ever said that about. We were too full for dessert. Cost: Not cheap but worth every penny. Overall: A+. I can't wait to go back. read more
