I moved to the area 6 years ago, and Spoonwood has been a staple - taking family when they visit, going after youth sporting events, etc. A year or two ago, they changed the menu and the portions, which was fine - completely understand the pinch - didn't affect my opinion. The last several times, the service has declined. We had a sporting event on a Sunday, ending at 7p. We called at 715p to ask when they served until, didn't want to come in late and be those people. Kitchen open until 9p. Arrived at 730, it was "seat yourself" time. We sat at 735-740. waited until 755, and no one even addressed us - and we walked out. I won't justify or rationalize spending the money to eat there anymore. Good when it's good, real bad when it's bad. read more

easy on-site parking, large spacious indoor & outdoor area, service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming- lots of options on tap, ample variety for style preference- our waitress had let us know we couldn't try samples unless we ordered a beer- which didn't really make sense since the idea was determining what to buy- we arrived in time for HH ($5any beer)- opted for a few of the IPAs- all the beer we tried was 4-5stars! great flavor profiles: Killer Diller- great base IPA, hazy crisp and juicy Wishing Machine- very cloudy creamy Espresso Change-o-rich coffee cream with a backend haze Rye Demise-average dank rye Reach Out Touch Haze- creamy haze with dank bitterness pop Secret Alphabet-good balance of orange hazy pop and hearty spice kick was a great place to hangout & relax; would recommend (priced off HH are pretty reasonable as well) read more

11/14/2021 Wow we stopped here on a Sunday during a Steelers game and it wasn't packed full of people. Plus their was a greeter who seated people. Yay my anxiety for finding seating here might be over. I had the meatzza which was definitely the winner. The wings didn't hit a home run. The Buffalo sauce was bland and the wings were covered in it, so the additional sauces provided couldn't help. The jam burger was good but someone was still hungry and ate some of my pizza. The pizza was very filling with the little pepperoni, sausage, and ham. I really like banana peppers and added them for an extra $2.50, ouch. The hand thrown dough and cooked in the wood fired oven though, deliciousness. The waitress was very attentive. The atmosphere was chill and not overly loud. The women's bathroom was clean. We will stop by again when we are in the neighborhood. read more

Server was curt and not attentive. Never checked on us once. Food took almost an hour (1 chix salad and 1 pizza) to arrive. Hot, humid, and loud. Beer tasted awful so I returned it ...politely. 24 dollars for a chicken salad where the chicken tasted old. Never again. ​ read more

Amazing food. Service was absolutely wonderful. Shout out to Sarah K. as my waitress! Probably one of the best. Very helpful didn't have to ask her for anything. Super friendly! The whole experience was a 10 out of 10. Food was delicious great service. I will be returning back! I highly recommend! read more

Spoonwood is a great spot for just about any outing. Great selection of beer and a nice variety of food options. The restaurant has a nice open layout with outdoor seating available in the nice months. We've been here a few times and always seem to have friendly and personable servers which makes a nice evening. I'd rate the place higher but I do feel the prices are a bit too high. read more

My friend took me here for brunch for my birthday and it was SO good. I've been here a few times prior but not in a few years. I got the breakfast sliders and one was as big as a regular breakfast sandwich. The sandwiches were on brioche bread so they basically melted in your mouth.I was going to eat just one and take the other one home but they were so good I ended up finishing both. I gothash browns for my side and they were also delicious. I'd love to come back here again for brunch! read more

Great food great service. Pizzas are really good. We would definitely come back for dinner.

I had the burger and it was delicious! So much flavor! I also had the side of greens, I did not like them. Seemed like they were not cooked long enough. My toddler had the mac and cheese, I tried it and that was beyond yummy with the flavor. Better than what the eyes see from the photo. My boyfriend had the pizza and said it was really good! Also not really pictured was the 2 beers I had, Cold Drip City was excellent, and Smoke & Oats was alright. I will definitely be back. read more

food is MID at best, and so overpriced - haven't tried pizza yet so maybe that's where i'm going wrong. not a big drinker but seems like a cool place to hang out and drink beer. no gripes about the service. read more

Fun vibe, great food and wonderful service. Space is pretty big, with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as lots of bar seating. Only negative is that parking is limited. Lot was full the night we were there, but we parked at a business strip center down the street and walked over. We got a table in less than 15 minutes. Definitely would good again! read more

I came to Spoonwood with my boyfriend and a couple of our friends for the first time over the weekend for dinner. They do not accept reservations and you cannot call ahead to put your name in. When we arrived the parking lot was completely full so we had to park in the overflow lot at Tutor Time which was not a problem, it is super close. The wait time was an hour but they allow you to get drinks at the bar while you wait and have an outdoor park that you can enjoy your drinks at so time flies. We were sat outside and it was a little chilly so they had heaters on, which was very nice. I ordered the EAT OLIVE YOUR VEGETABLES pizza and it was amazing! Seriously so good, the dough and everything. If you come here you need to order pizza. They have a big brick oven that they cook them in. I am not much of a beer drinker, so luckily they also had wines. I got the pinot noir and it was good. The server was very nice as well. read more

This place use to be a go to for us. Unfortunately the last few times the food was either not fully cooked (salmon severed raw) , cold shriveled pizza, or over cooked (hard boiled eggs for poached). Today our ribs were not even served as a rack and had an ungodly hot rub on them. No one would eat them because of the new rub being so awful. Very sad the restaurant has changed its food and service so much. read more

The place is usually packed, have been there three times and have always had to wait at least 20 to 30 minutes. We have tried several different brews but not a fan of any. Food on other hand was very good. Fire cooked pizza is very good. Service has always been good, even when not an empty seat in the house. Will be back. read more

Another decent brewery in the area. The wood fire pizzas are tasty. They make an amazing chocolate raspberry stout that makes for a super delish dessert treat. read more

We came here because we knew it was a family friendly spot. From the moment we entered, the interior was bursting with life and big smiles. Since we were a bigger group we decided to eat outside. The staff were fantastic and they were quick to assist us with getting some heat lamps turned on. They took our orders promptly. The outdoor area was lovely. We were able to spread out, bring out coloring books for my nieces, and later on in the evening - we were even able to turn our phone speakers on and have a little dance party. If you're looking to catch up with friends and loved ones, and it's nice weather - I highly recommend coming to Spoonwood Brewing and enjoying their outdoor area. It was perfect for our group. The food and drinks were solid (we stuck to burgers, pizza, and mac and cheese) and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Also - don't forget to check out their ice-cream sandwich menu. Their choices are drool-worthy and it's a great way to appease antsy kiddos :) Trust. read more

Spoonwood is a great place to stop with friends. Have a drink. Have a good meal. Also Tuesdays during the summer. They have pints and pups.

I've been here several times and it's always been a decent experience. The food is ok--good but not great. Beer is good too. Fun atmosphere and love when they have live music. Enjoy sitting at the bar or outside most. They do have parking lot although it can get very crowded and hard to find a spot. Staff is friendly and service is usually quick. I'd recommend the pizzas they are always the best choice in my opinion. read more

One of my favorite breweries in Pittsburgh! Not only do they have wonderful food and drinks, but they have a great space and atmosphere. The outside patio is so relaxing and perfect to enjoy a nice day with friends, plus the inside is very spacious too if the weather isn't good. They're always updating their beer menu, adding fun seasonal flavors that are delicious! I ordered the peach sour beer this time and I absolutely loved it. It's sweet from the peach puree, but not overpowering because the beer flavor balances it out. We went during Happy Hour so our drinks were half off, a wonderful surprise on a Saturday. The server even came around before end of Happy Hour to see if we wanted another drink at half price. I'm also a big fan of their wood fire pizza, all the different types I've had previously have been delicious! I ordered the Cluck Norris this time and really enjoyed it. The chicken was nicely crispy on the outside and tender inside, they piled on the mozzarella and provolone cheese and melted it to a gooey blend, bacon was chopped small to be within each bite, and the ranch dressing sauce was creamy and smooth. Even the crust was full of flavor and had a smokey aftertaste from the wood fire grill. Love coming here and never disappointed! There's a reason the parking lot is always packed. read more

Great beer selection. Awesome pizzas and everything people ordered around me at the bar looked great and everyone seemed to be enjoying.

Been to Spoonwood several times since opening and generally thought it was hit or miss. Never "bad", but just a little inconsistent. Just stopped in a few days ago and it was really good. Outdoor seating was really nice even though it rained, they had huge umbrellas over tables and were setting up for live music. Pizzas (1sausage and 1 arugula and prosciutto) were fantastic. Mac and cheese with bacon crumble was really good. Seeing some of the other things coming out of the kitchen to other tables I wanted to try a lot more because it all looked great, but had my fill of pizza and good beer. Eager to get back. read more

This place never disappoints! We came in with a group of 8 on a Friday night. Got there around 5pm to take advantage of the $5 drafts on happy hour. Our server was polite, friendly, and quick! They started to get busy fast, but she had all of our orders in minutes after taking them and always was willing to take an order ("can I get another XYZ?") on the fly as she was moving from table to table in our area. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. The kids in the group were able to run around in the grassy area off to the side. I had the James the Brewer pizza.. it's my go-to. Always the perfect balance of buffalo chicken and pickle Someone else in the group ordered the "throwing heaters" and said it was great. Two of group ordered the smoked wings and said they were crispy and delicious. I had the seasonal peach sour and it was just the right amount of tart. The bathroom is always clean and well stocked. Would recommend! read more

This was my first time at Spoonwood and the food and drinks were AMAZING! We sat at the bar and the place was packed! I asked the bartender to make me a "sweet gin drink" and she did not disappoint.

The inside of the restaurant was well lit and the energy was high on a Friday night. read more

Love this place! Have been here several times this year and there's always a great selection of beers and incredible food. Prompt service with friendly staff. Spoonwood Brewing sets the standard of what other breweries should strive to be. read more

The place was packed. I anticipated exceptional food. The menu looks interesting with so many good options. The service was good. They're hustling. But that's about where the goodness ended. Given the other reviews, I'm thinking we went on an off day. My sangria was awful. My husband tried it and described it as wine with grandma's perfume dumped into it. He's not wrong. It had an odd, musky flavor. My salad was fine. But it wasn't a $9 salad. It had arugula and some shaved fennel, some candied pecans and with a couple pieces of orange in a bowl. I ordered smoked pork shoulder, and it tasted like it had been cooked previously and reheated. It did not taste fresh. The smoked wings were rubbery and looked overcooked. The pizzas were okay, but I wouldn't ever order pizza there again. I did have a redeeming mule. That was decent. Obviously a lot of people like this place. There were tons of families dining when we were there. So they have to be doing something right. I'm just thinking today wasn't their day. read more

This place was AMAZING!!! From the service we were seated right away even though it was very busy. Our waitress was very attentive and cheerful. We made flights with the sample size pours which were amazing!! We ordered a PGH Salad and a Tomato Vodka Sauce Margarita Pizza which came out piping hot . The sauce was savory with a touch of sweet the crust was AMAZINGLY CRISP AND SOFT . The salad was amazingly fresh and crisp with a house made garlic ranch. It is a chill cool spot they also have outside seating. Will be back read more

The beer is good but the food might be even better. If you're in the mood for some great BBQ, come here! I had the pulled pork nachos tonight and they mean it when they say "shareable". The order is huge and full of toppings & meat. Spoonwood has a classic bbq menu and sides as well as some amazing looking pizzas and other items like salads and sandwiches. I love the sampler pours to try a variety of beers, often new because don't I venture this far into the south hills too often. The brewery is also super family and kid friendly and has a massive space indoors & out. It's always worth the trip. read more

We stopped by Spoonwood for Sunday Brunch and we did not leave disappointed! The brunch menu had several different options including breakfast style food but also a burger if you wanted more lunch style. I got the smoked hot brown which I thought was going to be a sandwich but as you can see in the pictures - it was a hot skillet. The flavor was great and it was really tasty but it just wasn't what I expected. The country fried chicken and waffles were the best choice and a pretty large portion size. Lots of other patrons were getting breakfast pizzas that are cooked in their wood fired stone oven - YUM! I'll have to try that next time. Their beer menu was just fantastic! I loved the coffee blonde and the strawberry shortcake beer was just unlike anything I've had before. The atmosphere is casual and cute but practical. There is an outside fenced in grassy area that I thought was kind of like a dog park but much to my surprise, everyone had their kids out there running around! Overall, cute spot for just a beer or a beer and good food. Can't wait to go back on my next trip to Pittsburgh! read more

Sat at the bar. I had a grilled chicken salad and a beer $32. yikes! I guess this is the day and age we live in now. The bar tender Jessica was a dud. never said much. How was your salad... nothing. Customer service from her was a 0/10. Other than that. Great! read more

I have two different ratings for this place, one for beer and one for food. Let me start by saying I LOVE Smoke and Oats. If you like smoked beers, this is one of the best. But, I have not been super impressed with their other beers. Their beers lack flavor for me and taste almost watered down. Not my style personally. I give their beers 3 out of 5 overall (smoke and oats is doing a lot of the heavy lifting there). Now for food, they get a 4 out of 5 from me. They have a great selection and if you like smoked meats, this is your place! I got a mezza platter and the lamb gyro and both were really solid. Also pro tip, dip the homemade kettle chips into the bbq sauces they have on the table..... yummmmmm. While the food is good, just be warned it is pricey. The service is good and the space has a cool vibe, especially in the summer. Overall, I give this place a 3.5 out of 5 but want to round up. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area. read more

Spoonwood is a nice spot in the south hills! My friend and I split a burger and it was delicious. I'm not much of a beer person so I got cider but I was told the beer options were great! Only downside is you can only make reservations for brunch, so it is hard to get into on the weekends. Looking forward to going back and hopefully eating in their outside area. read more

Spoonwood is such an awesome spot in the south hills. They are kind of off the beaten path, but if you make the trip I'm sure you will be happy that you did. Two years ago this was a brewery. With some pretty good pizza..... now, this place is an awesome restaurant and has awesome beer. I couldn't believe it when I stopped in this week, their menu had totally changed (for the best) tons of vegetarian options, fresh local meats, even a nice salmon dish. I was blown away! Our beer was great, and they have a ton to choose from. I was extremely happy with the food I ordered (salmon) it was probably some of the best salmon I've ever had. This place gets packed on the weekends, and there is even outside seating! (Band stage too, for weekends) No dogs are allowed on the patio right now but I heard that may change in the summer. read more
