My wife and I were in the area and decided to stop by for dinner. We arrived around 5:15 on a Friday which was during happy hour. We were able to get a high top table in the bar. Waitress came over and quickly took our drink order and was fairly attentive. We ordered the pretzels from the happy hour menu which were tasty. My wife had the fish and chips, I had the French dip with fresh cut fries. My wife enjoyed her fish and chips. My fries were good but my sandwich was dry. There is a very extensive menu. I wasn't blown away with my visit but I would definitely try something else if I returned. This is a quintessential neighborhood bar with a lot of locals. read more

Tavern In The Hills - French Dip - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

It was really more 3.5 for me but the friendly service and ambiance pushed it to a 4. I was staying in town as a brief overnight stop on a road trip and hadn't planned ahead as to where I would eat. I wanted something simple like a sandwich for dinner and didn't really want to go to a fast food or chain restaurant. I saw that Tavern in the Hills had good reviews and decided to stop in. There was a decent crowd for a random Wednesday night, including a small gathering for someone's birthday. I arrived about an hour before the kitchen closed and the bartender/server made sure I knew I had to order pretty quickly to ensure I got my food. I appreciated that there were a decent amount of pescatarian/vegetarian/vegan options, which you normally don't find at a small town restaurant. I wanted fish, fries, and a salad (for health). I wanted to order the fish sandwich (broiled) with both as sides, but the server recommended I get the dinner plate instead as it would be cheaper than paying for the second side. I still got it as a sandwich, but didn't realize I'd be charged extra for the roll. I got the salad right away which I decided to hold onto until I had my meal. My fish came out soon thereafter. I was a bit disappointed that the sandwich was just the broiled fish on the roll, no sauce or anything. I spread the tartar sauce I requested on the bread so it would have extra flavor. The fish was decent: it was surprisingly very fishy. I'm not sure if the seasoning blend was off for my palate or what but it just wasn't really my cuppa. I enjoyed the fries, they were well made. One thing I noted is that all the seating in the front is at high tops. There is a room toward the back with regular seating but it seemed like that was more of a special event space and not the regular dining section, which isn't helpful for accessibility. read more

Horrible food, stuffed pork chop stuffing was black and poor quality chop. Couldn't eat it. Anything from the fryer left a really bad taste as oil must have been old. Service not good. 2 out of 3 got sick from eating there. Very expensive for the quality of food, nickel and dime you for extra anything. Plus pay more for using a credit card. Second time we tried eating here, worse each time. Dirty tablecloths and run down Won't go back!! read more

First time visiting. I'd give it 3.5. Place has a huge menu with lots of choices. Decent happy hour deals as well. I got the fried shrimp happy hour special to start. It was okay, not great. I then ordered a burger. Their go to is medium well, I asked for medium and they obliged. I got the mushroom, onion, swiss burger but changed the Swiss for cheddar. The burger was cooked perfectly but lacked flavor IMO. Others in our group ordered wraps and breakfast burgers which they liked. Then two folks ordered quesadillas, they were MASSIVE! I mean just huge. Place was reasonably priced and the gentleman that waited on us did a fantastic job. He was very good. We had a group of 10 and would not split the bill which was frustrating. Next time I'll try something else other than that burger. I also understand that the sangria is really good but didn't try it. read more

Ate here last year when I was healthy. Owner was very nice and food was very good. The atmosphere was friendly and casual.

Chelsea was a great server. The order was to go, and everything was just perfect. Cod was hot and flaky like it should be, chips were nicely seasoned, and side salad was very fresh! All in all, a big hit! The ambiance of the bar was very pleasant, and folks were friendly. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Just awful. Dreadful tasteless food. DREADFUL. Somebody here needs to learn how to season and properly cook. Terrible service as well. In the few times I have been here, the majority of the time they've forgotten to ring things in as well. Clueless. read more

Tavern In The Hills, hidden on a hill down a two-lane residential road, can be easy to miss if you are not looking for it. However, you should not do that, for this place is a hidden gem. We started with the Bavarian Pretzel Sticks, which were good. Then, we got our entrees. I got the BBQ Pork Pierogies, as I wanted to try some pierogies, which Pittsburgh is known for, while my brother got the Tavern Quesadillas. My BBQ Pork Pierogies were savory and delicious, and my brother enjoyed his Tavern Quesadillas. In short, Tavern In The Hills is a hidden gem and I strongly recommend it. read more

This is the last time I go to this Tavern. I ordered takeout a few times and the food was not good. Dry dry tasteless steak hoagie. We decided to eat in tonight. The food is subpar. Just not worth going in for. I really love the fact that it's a nice little neighborhood bar but other than the beer, not worth the money! read more

Visiting from FL ( but grew up in West Mifflin) Looking for some local flavor. Friendly tavern atmosphere. Had the Polish Platter which had perogies almost as good as my mom made, tasty kolbassi and kraut. Onions were overcooked but so what. You'll love this place. read more

Tavern In The Hills - Polish Platter. - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This was my first time visiting and we had a pleasant visit. The restaurant has nice stained glass windows that give it a nice tavern feel. We dined in the restaurant and were told we could sit wherever we liked. I ordered the Phoenix Burger which included beer cheese and caramelized onions. It was served with fries which were ok. My husband ordered the Peppers and Bacon Pierogies per the recommendation of the waitress. He cleared his plate! I tried a bite of my mother in laws steak Pierogies which were also good. The restaurant is not fancy but was nicely decorated for the holidays with a wreath and poinsettias. The wait staff was dressed in sweatshirts which gave a very casual atmosphere. Parking available on the side of the tavern. read more

Over the years, I have been here to eat and hang at the bar. The staff is cool, especially Chelsea. Food is good not great except the soups. Amazing! read more

Five of us came here for supper tonight and it was just great. I particularly recommend the fish sandwich or the cod fillet. Both were delicious. This is kind of a neighborhood place - very comfortable. The service is great and the server has worked here for years and that tells you what kind of place it is. Real comfortable. I reccomend this place and I think most people would enjoy a meal here. read more

Unlike other restaurants nearby, the dining room is separate from the bar and an excellent place to bring families. Given several of the workers are vegetarian/vegan this place boasts a robust vegetarian menu, which can be made vegan with a few tweaks. Despite that the place is well known for their burgers, which my husband loves along with some of the largest chicken wings I have ever seen. The daily specials are creative, and service is usually prompt and personal. Overall a good experience whether you sit at the bar, the patio, or dining room. read more

3 stars and only because of the Happy Hour Signature drink specials. The bartender was average at best... she never asked about refills and had no time to talk about drink specials, just opened a menu that had the specials posted there which was slightly odd? We ordered the chicken nachos and the chicken was cut in large cubes making it difficult to eat ... again, just average at best. Pricing will take us back ... (2) large mixed drinks, (1) beer and the nachos all for under $20 read more

It was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. Prices were fair and the atmosphere was inviting.

We had a lunch for a group of about 30 people that was pretty last minute as far as planning. Tavern in The Hills was able to accommodate us. The room was great as was the food and service. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Stopped here for supper. Ordered a pizza with pepperoni. $12.99 for a four piece pizza WITH NO SAUCE. They brought us some warm marinara to apply atop the cheese. My advice: don't order the pizza. Also, my Jack Daniels and ginger ale was really JD and water. Is anyone paying attention here? read more

My spouse and I went to this restaurant yesterday and experienced great food and a fantastic waitress,Chelsea. We had the pot roast sandwich with hand cut fries and a personal pan pizza. They food was excellente. We will definitely go back to experience more of the menus items. Wing day is on Tuesday. Homemade pierogi's,kolbassi, are some of the items we wanna try. read more

The French onion soup was horrible. No broth and loaded w croutons but lacked cheese and broth. I sent it back. The broccoli side came in a crock of salty greasy water and was hard. The salmon was just ok and very small. The server tried to help but the soup and side were sooo bad it's like the cook wasn't a cook. A side of broccoli belongs on your plate but it was swimming in water. Would not comp us but gave a replacement different soup to go. read more

Food was decent but the service was bad. It took forever for two of us to have dinner because the waitress (young girl with long blonde hair) was so busy socializing that we went largely ignored and had to physically flag her down just to get the bill. read more

Great food. Great People. Love the wings and flatbreads. Only place you find a fried bologna sandwich on the same menu as fillet, and they're both delicious. Huge beer selection. Also a great spot for a small party. My fiancé had a surprise birthday/promotion party for me at the Tavern. The catered food was amazing, especially the cheesy potatoes and prime rib. read more

Great food, a lot of the local people go here and for obvious reasons. I'll be back next time we are in the area

This is the worst service I think I have ever had at a restaurant. If I could give a zero or negative stars I would. We sat and waited for half an hour waiting to be waited on. My boyfriend had to flag the waiter down to take our order. We sat for over an hour and had not even received our appetizers. I got mine and then we proceeded to wait another 15 minutes for my boyfriends. His appetizer then came out with our meals after being here for over an hour and a half. My order wasn't correct and was extremely burnt. After confronting the waiter he then admitted that he knew that my order was wrong and yet still served me the food and let me eat it. The service was absolutely atrocious and so was the food. This will be my first and last time dining at this location. Extremely angry and upset. read more

Stopped here a few weeks ago. Stopped here on January 25th. Ordered food and it was good. Service was amazing, food was good. I've heard about it and it was worth it. Will visit again. read more

Excellent food!! Excellent service!! We had a wonderful dinner. Definitely will be going back.

The good first the food is quite good and flavorful. They have a huge menu with lots of good ole American classics, some Pittsburgh favorites. Now the bad, our waitress was one of the worst I ever had. Paid us no mind and never came back for the bill because she was flirting with patrons. I've never been so mad in my life at such horrible service. No one greeted us as we entered. Had no idea where to sit. The lady who ended up greeting us just said ya go wherever I don't care. After the service we received there is two reasons for the 1 star review 1. They won't allow a zero star and 2. The food was good. I will never be back when you get treated like you have some nasty incurable disease it doesn't matter how good the food is. Lastly it is a little on the pricey side for drinks and basically bar food. read more

Always a good burger. The best wedding soup that I've had in awhile. Reasonable 20 oz Yuenglings and great service! Comfortable local tavern with friendly patrons read more

Best wings and service! Stop down Tuesday nights for their wing special and see Julie--best bartender around! Cooks and servers are super friendly and professional! read more

My husband and I wanted to try somewhere new not a chain restaurant. This place was perfect!! We chose an appetizer and both ordered pierogis with different toppings. There were 8 to an order, plenty for leftovers. Our server was helpful and kind. We will most definitely return. read more

The food is amazing. We go there a couple sundays a month. The Bloody Mary recipe is amazing, honestly one of the best I've had. We will keep coming back! read more

Haven't stopped here in a while and now I remember why. My dad had the pork chop and it was tasteless and chewy. I had the French dip sandwich. a sandwich I've had before and it sure didn't taste like prime rib. The service was good but we waited almost 45 minutes for or meal and there were only two other people in the dining area. read more

Thurs pm at 10 min till the kitchen closes. Yummy pierogies and a cheese steak that's not dripping grease. Friendly vibe. Good beer list. Side room where a group of parents ate together and their little kids had their own table. Multiple sports tvs and rock radio. read more

Had a quick early lunch here today and was really pleased! I grew up in TJ, and this restaurant has been many different names before. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I ended up really enjoying myself. First of all, our waiter was great. I don't remember his name, but he was super nice and incredibly attentive. I went with my dad and we split the hot peppers, I got the steak flatbread and he got a steak salad. The peppers were good, not too hot but not bland either. The steak flatbread was amazing though! It was much larger than I expected, it was 8 large pieces, COVERED in thick chunks of steak, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and cheese. It was piping hot and delicious. I just moved back in the area, and I'm sure I will be here again. read more

Excellent food and wonderful service. Every soup I have ever had here is wonderful. The Maryland crab soup and shrimp bisque are my favorite. The pork chop is huge and very flavorful. The polish platter is great fall comfort food. Also love their veggie flatbread and seafood flatbread. They also have an amazing beer selection. They are always adding great seasonal beers read more

We ordered take out the other day, I tried the special, which was the lobster Mac n Cheese. There was literally no lobster in the dish. It was almost humorous as we searched for a piece to confirm it was in fact lobster Mac. We did find one small red piece of lobster, and the receipt indicated lobster mac, so they didn't accidentally just give us Mac. We've eaten in house a couple of times, too. The last time we went my burger was really salty, not sure what was up with that. We'd LOVE to have a decent restaurant close to home without heading down to route 51, so I really hope this place gets better in 2019!! read more

Meh...food was pretty good. I don't know if it was the night but the wait staff was pretty much non existent. Our waitress was too busy flirting with other customers. She saw that we are all looking at her to come take our orders and eventually our checks and just ignored us. It's a shame because I would go back but not if they don't hire some help and quick. Or fired that women. read more

Good time. Excellent food and the people that work their are friendly. I live on the other side of town but will be going back.

The absolute worst dining experience ever. Let me preface this review by stating that this used to be one of my favorite local spots to grab a bite to eat, but my most recent experience definitely deters me from ever returning. We visited on a Friday evening which we were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait to be seated. No problem. Approx. 30 mins later we were seated at a high top table in the bar area. Our waitress / bartender was plain RUDE to our entire party - raised her voice when we asked about splitting checks and practically threw our food and drinks down in front of us. It took about 1 hour and 30 mins to get our food - without any apologies or explanations as to why it was taking so long. When the food came out, it was cold, the fish was undercooked, fries were awful. Safe to say this place has gone downhill and we won't be returning. Save your money and go to pleasant bar down the road! read more
