Great place in the north shore. Decent beer list... smaller menu but everything I've had so far has been absolutely terrific. The fancy corn is great! The burger is one of the best I've had recently. All around a great place to stop for a beer and some food! read more

Excellent grub right on the waterfront. Highly recommend this new joint. Ask for Amanda. She was excellent! Fast service and awesome cocktails. Ate on the patio and had a rockin burger. Will be back again! read more

Stopped in before a Pirate game. Wasn't too crowded-don't know why. Best chicken sandwich I ever ate - awesome grilled cheese and Mac and cheese! My son loved the pierogis, Give it a try! read more

Drinks were great. Service was terrible- probably the worst I have had in the city. The waitress was downright rude. The food is terribly over priced for what you get. I don't mind not getting huge portions but when ordering scallops as an entree I expect more than two scallops on the plate. I typically love fun and different food but seriously, all these guys are doing is cutting your food up in tiny bites, spreading it around the plate and calling it deconstructed. I won't go back. Not even go the drinks. We went for lunch. The place was basically empty. They ran out of desserts. I don't think it was because of the lunch rush. These folks need a serious attitude adjustment, price reduction and lesson in what real "deconstructed" meals look like. Skip it and save yourself time, aggravation and money. read more

This was our first time here. Our waitress was pretty bad which is a big reason I dropped the number of stars I gave. We sat in the nice outdoor patio area, but it took a while to be greeted and then 20 mins after that to receive our first beers. The next time we ordered beers it took forever to get those as well. I'm not sure what the hold up was because it didn't seem super busy. The food we ordered was pretty good - Meat plate, perogies, and grilled cheese. These were tasty, but I was impressed by the selection on the rest of the menu. read more

Good draft selection. Burger and Fried Chicken Sandwich were both really good. The menu is different than what you'll find at other places on the north shore. Great place! read more

Ate dinner at the Foundry with a group of 12 on a Saturday evening. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Service was inconsistent, sometimes the server was quite attentive while other times she disappeared for a half hour at a time. The beer selection was not vast but the choices were all interesting and high quality. The food was good however the portions were on the small side considering this is a gastropub. Many were disappointed by the limited meat and cheese platter - definitely not a good value. The burgers were good but not especially unique considering the norm these days. read more

We had a large group meet there and the bar tender was fantastic and the buffalo chicken was out of this world excellent!

Hubby and I stopped in after a Buccos game. It is nice to have a place a bit more upscale than some of the other North Shore choices. They have a very nice beer selection as well as lots of cocktails. We order the Charcuterie plate, wings and the pho. Pho was spot on on flavor and nicely presented as a bowl with all the Vietnamese herbs and noodles rather than how it is served a a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. The wings were very good, crunchy and right amount of heat. The Korean red sauce on them was different enough but not so different that I would still consider them Buffalo type wings. Charcuterie plate was just ok, fairly small and would have like to have a explanation as to what was on the place. It was very busy with little blobs of this and that but with no idea of what anything was. Service was very good and look forward to trying more menu items. read more

A welcome addition to the North Shore that is far from the mostly sports bar that are in this area. We went on a Saturday night before a concert at Stage AE and it was not super crowded so we were seated right away. They had a great draft list and some awesome cocktails. I was super excited to try the pumpkin sangria and disappointed that they were out. I then went with the Victory Sour Monkey which is one of my favorite sour beers. The dinner menu was a bit limited but they have some good options of burgers, dinner entrees, apps, and salads. I went with the burger which came with fresh greens, an orange marmalade, some sort of cheese all on a fresh bun. I love that you have your choice of fries or a side salad. I went with the fresh greens and picked the blue cheese dressing which was one of the best salad dressing I have had in a while-def. homemade. My friend ordered the wings which are huge and messy! She also got the mac and cheese which is highly recommended. Our waitress was fantastic and even took us an added table when our waitress was busy with a large party. Another thing I love about this place is the décor which is very rustic and has such a cozy feeling. read more

The good? The service was great, the back bar had a great view and the happy hour half-price drinks were appreciated. The bad? The food. We were dining with another couple who had picked the place so we could hardly make a scene, but the Flatiron steak was fatty and the pulled pork was dry, cold and overcooked (tasted like leftovers). The fries were salty and the German potato salad was from some other country. In short, if you want to drink this place is OK, but if you want good food then go somewhere else. Since we were the only table dining at the restaurant on this weeknight, it appears that many are doing so. read more

Three of us went here on a Saturday evening when there was no pirate game. There were plenty of seats available. We sat in the inside area although they have a very pleasant outside dining area. The dining room contains more televisions than you could shake a stick at. This is not necessarily a good thing. The chairs at the tables for were little bit uncomfortable. We were welcomed by our server pretty quickly. We started with the pimento cheese appetizer. It is served with pickled vegetables and a few Rittz crackers. Although the dip is served cold, it is served in ac skillet. The pi- Mento cheese was tasty and the pickled vegetables were a nice addition to that. It was nothing special but it was good. The restaurant bills itself as a farm to table venue. Menu is reasonably diverse. They have risotto and lamb and fish and sandwiches. In that sense, we didn't really give it a fair shake, because we all ordered grilled cheese sandwiches. We had seen reviews that said they were very good. We also got macaroni and cheese and deep fried brussels sprouts. The deep fried brussels sprouts were delicious they were in kind of a hot - Asian inspired sauce and had some peanuts sprinkled over them. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and average. Some at our table thought it tasted like Kraft macaroni and cheese and for some people that's a really good thing. The french fries that accompanied the grilled cheese were very very good not coated or anything. The grill cheese sandwichesThemselves suffer from a lack of flavor. They are made from Boursin and cheddar cheeses and somehow that does not amount to much in a grilled cheese sandwich. The bread was really good and they were cooked very well. Our server was very attentive. Although it's not a fair sampling of the menu, we all agreed that we would not go out of our way to return. read more

Came here on Sunday 10/2/16 around 3pm before a Steeler's game. My husband walked up to the outside bar, waited for several minutes and was not served. Several bartenders, servers and what seemed to be the manager on shift passed by him and did not even acknowledge him. We wanted to grab a quick drink, and since the other establishments were crowded, we thought we would try The Foundry. We should have known it was not crowded for a reason... never again. read more

i was at the foundry last night for a family gathering and the food was over the top. great food and service. the grilled cheese was just so good and the deserts what can i say! can't wait to go back again! read more

Recently tried this place for dinner....all-in-all it was pretty good. They had a great beer list and the kale Caesar salad was very good. My husband got the cod which was tasty but not filling. The only real side to it was bok choy and he only got two small bulbs. The other side it was paired with was segmented, marinated grapefruit. Should have been a garnish but there was enough of it and nothing else that it was a side. I mean this isn't an a la carte establishment. The dish would have had more value for the price if it was paired with something...anything else! Rice, perhaps? I let my husband share my salad and fries as that dish was just not enough for a fairly hungry adult male. I'd like to say I'd be back but now just not sure if we can trust the other entrees...in that they will be just as small with odd pairings. We'll see how the restaurant progresses...as North Side dwellers we are in dire need of a decent yet affordable restaurant in this area. read more

THIS IS THAT REVIEW! I wish I had stars for different things- stopped in after the Steeler/Bengals game- Everywhere else was PACKED- Hostess gets a 10 - we asked about the wait - she said 30 minutes but encouraged us to come in to the bar which was crowded but we could move- actually found seats for 5 - NOTE TO OWNERS Bartender needs help - GREAT guy working his butt off both behind the bar and in front- we ended up with a table unless than 15 minutes- Great Table! Lots of tables about half full so busy but not slammed. However OWNERS YOU NEED MORE SERVERS! No service for well over 15-20 minutes- we finally got up and asked for a server and a very nice BUSY young man finally took our order! That was bad, we were so hungry and got really cranky! And then in less than 10 minutes our food arrived ALL at once hot and Delicious - One of our best meals in Pitt. We had the oysters, the pulled pork and I had the grilled cheese with bacon. Everything was Great! Once fed I began watching the flow - we had only 2 waiters for about 20 tables - not all full but really NOT enough staff- our waiter never returned to bring our check (because he was sooooo busy getting guests fed!) that we had to go find our check - we gave him a great tip because he really was doing all he could do - so staff 10 stars Food 10+ Stars Staffing person 1 Star - note to Owners - I know your new but STAFF UP!! It's better to have to pay a few extra employees while working out the kinks than have paying guests leave because of understaffing - Your wine list is better than most - Your Beer choices are good - I love the water bottles on the table and (although I had to go to the bar to get more water) I was very happy to receive 2 pre filled, cold bottles - your FOOD is AMAZING and so nice to have several waiters deliver the entire table hot food all at once. The Foundry is welcome option to the North side - we will defiantly be back and hope your staffing issues are fixed. read more
