City Works Pittsburgh -- Sports, Salmon & Sinfully Good Cheese Curds…read moreVisited: Wednesday, July 29, 2026 4.5/5 Seven hungry road-weary hooligans rolled into City Works Pittsburgh around 6 p.m. on a Wednesday looking for three basic human necessities: food, alcohol and enough televisions to ensure nobody was ever forced into sustained eye contact. Mission accomplished. The place has a modern, spacious, casually polished feel--comfortable without being stuffy, energetic without sounding like someone dropped a silverware drawer down a flight of stairs. There are TVs seemingly everywhere, which makes City Works an excellent headquarters for sports fans, large groups, wandering degenerates, or seven friends who simply need a civilized staging area before whatever questionable decisions occur later in the evening. We initially sat in a booth before realizing that seven grown adults plus drinks, menus, appetizers and our collective egos required substantially more acreage. Our server--a very cute, friendly young lady--handled our relocation request without even the faintest visible urge to poison us. She was attentive, pleasant and took excellent care of the table throughout dinner. Food-wise, City Works did exactly what I wanted it to do. My main dish was the blackened grilled salmon salad, and this thing was no sad little punishment salad designed for somebody who lost a bet. It was a substantial bowl of greens, vegetables, egg, cheese and a beautifully seasoned piece of salmon on top. Fresh, filling, colorful and flavorful enough that I could temporarily pretend I was making responsible nutritional decisions. Then we ordered the fried stuff. The fried pickles were superb--crispy, salty, tangy little discs of comfort-food righteousness begging to be dragged through dipping sauce. And the deep-fried cheese curds? Dear God. Warm little golden nuggets of dairy sin. Crispy outside, molten cheesy joy inside. Somewhere a cardiologist felt a mysterious disturbance in the Force, and I regret absolutely nothing. The wings circulating around the table looked properly sauced and substantial as well, and there was enough food flying around that our table began looking less like dinner and more like negotiations at the United Nations of Cholesterol. What I especially liked about City Works was the balance. It's social and lively but not obnoxiously loud. You can watch a game, drink a beer, eat something substantial and actually hear the human sitting across from you without communicating through semaphore. For a group gathering, I think this place absolutely nails it: plenty of room, relaxed atmosphere, lots of TVs, good drinks, genuinely enjoyable food and service that comfortably handled seven traveling idiots changing tables and descending upon appetizers like raccoons behind a Wisconsin supper club. Strong recommendation. City Works was exactly what we needed that evening--a comfortable Pittsburgh gathering spot where the salmon lets you pretend you're healthy and the cheese curds immediately expose you as a liar.

I had Mr. Thor pegged as an excellent chef from the moment we met. He did not disappoint. He provides an option to eat your meal with a form of sensory deprivation that makes the flavors of the food so much more intense. There is no menu. You receive whatever he decides to make. On my visit, the first course was delicious. I have no clue what it was. Sensory deprivation... It was an orgy of flavor in my mouth. My taste buds were held hostage by the mixture of what tasted like scrambled eggs, onion, salt and pepper. It sounds simple, but had an unparalleled synergy. He followed up with the main of beef, brussels, and mashed potatoes. The sensory deprivation ended which makes sense due to the knife needed for the meat. I wish I snapped a pic because presentation is half the battle and he knocked it out of the park. The entire meal was splendid. The beef was cooked to the perfect temperature. The potatoes were mashed with skin on and chunks of garlic which added a flavor and texture that I haven't experienced in mashed potatoes. It also isn't a side I typically order. The brussels were tasty and tender. Cooked all the way through and were served without any fancy sauces or dressings. Tmsimple goes a ling way.

Possibly best decision we made all year. We literally came back and spun the block for round 2 sunday morning to show our dad, the kind staff can attest to this! The first day we went with the brisket sandwich on a plain biscuit, and sausage on an everything. Both were 10/10, and both of us thought we had the better sandwich and made it a competition to prove each other wrong somehow. We both had a bite of each and thought these could quite easily be the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had. They are genuinely that good. Now, onto the even crazier parts (the cinnamon roll). We got a box of pastries of course. The fluffernutter roll, cinnamon roll, chocolate chip cookie, and the zucchini chocolate chip loaf. Best cinni roll we've ever had, hands down Fluffernutter was as good as it sounds, also a 10/10 As a chocolate chip cookie veteran, this one is decent. 6-7/10, I'd stick with getting the rolls personally The little zucchini loaf joint was good too, I've never had anything like that and it was like a good banana bread kinda deal (this probably isn't that helpful but all I know is that it tasted good man) Literally the next morning we ran it back to show Dad. Brother and I had to try the Bacon on plain next, and dad got the sausage. Again, best breakfast sandwich ever. Never had a biscuit this good, it's genuinely ridiculous. Got straight cinni rolls and the sticky bun this time. All hits no misses (that's for the married folks) I shall return with a vengeance

The food is good, as long as you go in with the right expectations. This isn't fine dining, but it's a nice take on vegetarian-accessible pub food, slightly elevated. The vegan tofu wrap was nicely done with crispy fried tofu, but it was heavily dependent on the availability of various sauces for flavor. The "disc brake bean cakes" were somewhat unique, but still good when fully assembled with all the relevant toppings. They would probably be better described as black bean crepes with Tex-Mex toppings. I highly recommend ordering several different sauces to go with your meal (buffalo, barbecue, diablo, etc.). We ordered takeout this time, and the overall ordering experience was good. There is an online ordering page, but the items on that page aren't completely aligned with menus on the web site. We ended up calling to place an order, which was still very easy. All the food was well packaged and ready to go exactly when they said it would be. This is a great South Side destination, especially when you're looking for something comfortable and relatively low key but still fun.
