    10000000/10 - from the burgers to the fries to the chicken Sammie's. EVERYTHING IS PERFECTION. Run by some amazing humans and we're lucky to have them in Pittsburgh. If you're in the area stop in for one of pittsburghs best smash burgers with a side of crispy perfection of fries! Thanks for existing the same time as me!

    I hate to admit that I liked this place for all the shit I talk on smash burgers, but I banged with this place so much. It's rare that I ever like one. I like a thick patty cooked bloody rare. Cant get that with a smashed. They're always overly salted with some average sauce, and never seasoned well. This place did not bring that. Patties not overly salted, house sauce had a little extra love in it, onions sautéed beautifully and who doesn't love a Martin's potato roll. You'll see they don't offer lettuce or tomatoes. That's because they know their burger only needs to be done one way and that'll bring you right back French fries were McDonald's on steroids. Insane crisp on each one and they were beyond generous with the portions. Those queso fries I'll be having wet dreams about It was me and 6 other people in there. Owner Rodney came out and talked to us. He was super down to earth and cared deeply about his spot It's inside a bar so if you plan on going at night it's going to be SLAMMED. If you want to go to simply dry the burger go closer to when they first open because you will be waiting

    First time ordering fro this food truck and probably last, just based on customer service. Told 25-30 minutes. Came back in 45-50 minutes and still not ready. Told come back in 5. Still not ready for another 10-15. I understand things happen but the way it was handled was horrible. Burgers are pretty decent at least, but based on service and price, not worth it. Minimal respect for clients.

    Love the smashed burgers and the crab cakes are to die for! Go see them wherever they are! Follow their instagram page for updates!

    Their food truck was at Stick City Brewery today (also a great place!). My wife and I showed up at 5pm and they were so popular throughout the day they were almost out of all their food! They had enough meat for two burgers for my wife and I. The person working in the food truck made sure he could try and get us the burgers. Their burgers were AMAZING and so were their shoestring fries. We liked them so much my wife asked where they'd be next! If they're in your area make sure to try them!

    Food was not terrible, very pricy for what you got. 40+ for two burgers and fires seat and serve yourself. The place and vibe was okay.

    maybe if the burger was good it would be worth an hour and a half standing in line. watching these guys cook is like watching paint dry.

Basically, every year her gift to me would be steak dinner at Eddie V's. Also, don't worry, they have plenty of things on the menu for her. This is a "big box" establishment that follows the formula. Meaning you can go to any location in the country and expect the same ambiance, menu offerings, etc. I am a-ok with that because it's always been a lovely experience. It's got old-school, romantic decor vibes. Quite often you can expect live music (pianist, jazz, and so on). The service is exceptional. The food is amazing. Everything is cooked to perfection. Seasoned perfectly and if I am being honest, I never leave any food behind on my plate. They have a nice selection of drinks including mocktails. In a world of big-box, they stand out.

    Penn Avenue Fish Market is a hidden gem that absolutely nails fresh seafood. Takeout or dine-in,…read moreeverything is top-notch, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and always ready to make your visit smooth. The English-style cod with mac & cheese and slaw? Enough for two sandwiches and utterly delicious. The Sneaky Pete with slaw and grain salad is a go-to, and the swordfish sandwich is insanely fresh. This place may look unassuming, but the flavors are bold and unforgettable. Soups, sandwiches, or just browsing the fresh fish case...Penn Ave has everything a seafood lover dreams of. Skip the usual fried options; here, freshness and service both shine.

    It was a complete zoo walking in the Strip District on a Saturday given its status as Pittsburgh's…read moretourist hub. It reminded this San Franciscan so much of Fisherman's Wharf and the teeming masses that course through packed sidewalks. Looking for lunch turned out to be a huge undertaking because queues were endless. Except here. It made me wonder if I wasn't aware of some known deficiency in their seafood. It's a two-part business, a fresh fish market on one side and a dining room and sushi bar on the other. The menu was initially overwhelming because food items were meticulously listed on several chalkboards arranged around the order space. There were lots of sushi options, but I wasn't in the mood and went for the $12 Fish Tacos, two of them with a combination of tuna, salmon, and swordfish encased in soft corn tortillas with tomato and cabbage (Photo 8). Tasty, quite fresh, and just enough as I sat in the relative quiet of the dining room. Peace in the Strip. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh fish variety was a nice touch AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the dining room calmed my nerves SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly and attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...a place I can recommend in the Strip RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

    Potentially's Pittsburgh's most potent place to partake in a formal pig out…read more Eleven is polished, it's stylish, and prominent on the strip. The bar is cozy, yet large and glitzy. Very very hip, but also not - As it may be slightly more upscale than hip if that makes sense. Service is phenomenal, from check-in to drinks to waiters to servers. This is a great place to entertain and throw some money at the wall to see if it sticks. If it doesn't stick - Fine - You'll still have a lovely meal. As I mentioned in a prior review, I was in these Pittsburgh parts to chat, to brighten the mood and to lend some of my low-end very niche expertise when called upon in order to showcase my stature as a boy with potential to become a man. I selectively stoop myself down as to not fall from pride as my venture into Hamartia. Take yourself seriously, not too seriously, says a wise man named Linguini. I start blurting out a fat NY Italian accent. Really playing into my "roots." Folly into the youth of myself as to remind others of what they miss on the day to day. I subtly went into takeover mode as a few others couldn't hang nor could they entertain. I casually allowed everyone else to order as I respectfully decided not to fill my face in this fine establishment unless called upon to complete a plate. We basically tried everything on the menu so I have a true right to throw five stars. Tried every cheese. Scallops, crab cakes and the tartare were best apps, calamari solid as well. Of the salads I'd opt for whichever had the crème fraiche dressing. Of the entrees the standout was the short rib, but the strip steak did some business as did the black cod. We tried every single dessert as well. The candy bar was a crowd favorite, followed by the tart and toffee pudding. Now imagine this, all different taste buds across many differently lands (but not seas.) Everyone please with their meals. But does it really matter if they were? No. You care about if Linguini was pleased. Pleased I was. If I were to do it again, I'd drop the company - but keep the company card ya feel me? Real nice meal. Happy to have attended, and happy to have made others happy. Because what is life if not to do good onto others? The number 11. It's insightful. It's spiritual. It's enlightening in its endeavor to grow into the double digit world. It's the first repeat number - It knows of its importance.

We could even see some secluded seating up top. Our server was very friendly. We ordered some app and my wife and I wanted to split a burger, but we both wanted different cheeses. So our server had the chefs cut out burgers and prepare it with the cheeses we both wanted! The sticky toffee was very unique. Our only experience with it before was Gordon Ramsey's at his restaurant so this was such a unique flavor. When we visit the city again, we would definitely reserve a table in advance to enjoy the full menu. I will say, many upscale restaurant in the area are going to have higher priced plates. But I do feel their menu was more affordable compared to others downtown.

Have tried multiple things there, there have been no disappointment so far. Very reasonable prices, especially for the area. The noodles and chili oil, cold noodles in peanut sauce, wontons, and chili oil so far have been favorites. Will be trying the noodle and beef soup very soon. Overall, top-tier noodle place in the city

    Just enjoyed a really nice lunch at this subterranean cafe. The space probably has 12 or so tables…read more At about 2p, there were maybe 4 or 5 tables taken, so we had no problem grabbing a booth for our table of 3. A nice server walked us through the menu. The #2 "3 in one maxed noodles" under DRY NOODLE is "most popular," he said, and not very spicy - comprising of #s 1, 3, $ 4 on the dry noodle menu. They're flexible on your preferred spicy level. And #6 on the SOUP NOODLE menu is very popular & not spicy - braised pork rib noodles. Under SPICY NOODLE IN STONE POT - our server recommended #1 spicy beef soup with rice noodle in stone pot. For Appetizers - they were out of the cold skin noodles with peanut butter, but our server also recommended wonton (dumplings) in chili oil. OUR ORDER & ASSESSMENT: Appetizer - the wonton noodles are so good - so silky - and the semi-spicy sauce was really unique. Def would reorder that. Me: the 3 in one noodles - and this gigantic bowl was brimming with unique, flavorful ingredients that our server said I was to stir together. Baby bok choy, tomato chunks, slivered carrot, homemade wide noodles, small pieces of braised pork, scrambled egg, chili powder (not very spicy at all), and slivered scallions ---- a bowl of Chinese comfort food cooked to perfection. Total 5 star dish. Hubs: Spicy beef soup with rice noodle --- a *screaming hot* (temperature- not spice) stone pot filled to the brim with thin rice noodles (look like spaghetti), baby bok choy, and a zesty broth with a fairly good spicy kick. My hubs was just MEH on this dish. The broth - IMHO - just didn't have much depth of flavor. Sis-in-law: spicy max vegetable with rice noodles. Again - the wildly hot stone pot was brimming with homemade rice noodles, silky tofu, but there really weren't many veggies. Bok choy was about it. Odd, we thought. Again - the broth was just ok. All in all, it was a good, reasonably-priced lunch. I will DEF be back!
