I've always had great flavorful food at this establishment since it opened. Always quite a few creative food items on the menu. In my opinion the service is sometimes a little bit lacking in the dining areas but I realize that is a struggle for many restauranteurs at this time. The past few visits, the bar service has always been great with Cody who is like a whirling dervish and is always attentive, friendly, and efficient. read more

The Foundry Table & Tap - Smash burger with fries - Gastropubs Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This was my first time here, and I really enjoyed it! The service was phenomenal, and the food and drinks were very good. It was quick, too. I was pleasantly surprised overall by how much we enjoyed everything. For libations, we tried their signature drinks The Hayworth and the one with the orange patron, pomegranate and orange peel (actually...had a "few" of these...). I can't remember their "name" for it, though...but they were both EXCELLENT. We went during Happy Hour, so their signature drinks were only $5 each. I thought this was a pretty good deal. For the delicious food, we had the Sirloin steak that was paired with swiss chard, local mushrooms and roasted potatoes. I felt the steak dish was a little pricey for the portion and what you got, however, it was better quality ingredients, which you obviously need to pay for. We also tried the grilled cheese sandwich (which was one of the best i've had). The grilled cheese had a mixture of cheddar and monterey jack, and a delightful layer of locally made apple butter! I was shocked at how good this was. This came with some pretty awesome fries, too. All in all, I would go back in an instant. It was a great atmosphere, and the food and drinks were very good. read more

Overall a nice place to hangout for drinks and watch a game at the bar. Staff was very friendly Came around 2pm and would've like to order from the main menu, but wasn't available till 3pm (only brunch menu available). read more

Awesome happy hour drink specials! The mussels with the spicy red sauce was delicious and a tasty change from the typical butter sauce you usually get with mussels. The general tso cauliflower was the best! The appetizer portion wasn't enough, I wanted more because it was so good! Friendly staff Will definitely be back read more

Our server Lindsay was amazing. Her hospitality was truly top notch! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Patio was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was decent at best. Really not impressed. Wouldn't return based on food not being good. Aldean's next door is where you want to go instead 100%. read more

My mother in law wanted a nice low key dinner and her coworker suggested this place...I was hungry because I had skipped lunch and didn't care where we went I do have to say that I like the farmhouse yey industrial vibe of the place. It's also very spacious; a good place for groups to get together. Also the music is REALLY low so it's not too loud; might be a nice place for a date or just dinner so you can actually chat with your partner and hear them. Our waitress was extremely friendly which I appreciated and quick. I got the spicy mule (pretty standard, I wasn't blown away but it was refreshing with the spicy kick I was expecting based off of the ingredients), my mother in law asked for "half cranberry, half ginger ale with a lime"...the presentation of this mocktail was cute, even though they put a lemon instead of the lime she asked for. We got the Yukon potato pierogis as appetizers...not gonna lie, these were pretty bland...so was my medium well burger. I did enjoy my fries though. My mother in law said her grilled cheese was just ok (I think it's pretty difficult to mess up grilled cheese though) but her Brussels sprouts were absolutely too salty. We couldn't eat them at all, had to switch them out for a salad (with beer vinaigrette on the side). I'm wondering if the saltiness was a fluke. By the time we had finished, we were so underwhelmed with how blah the meal was that my mother in law didn't even want to give the dessert menu a try. I honestly was just too full. She says she absolutely will not be back but I think maybe if I'm back in town again I might give them another try....not at the top of my list though. read more

Got seated right away here and got sat outside. The waitress was very nice and friendly. I got a mango beer brewed in Pittsburgh which was good. The nachos were okay, I've had better. But the burger was delicious especially on the pretzel bun and the mac n cheese you can tell it's homemade. Very good, the ambiance outside was great with very nice views. I'd recommend it for dinner! read more

Overall my experience was really good. The food was tasty and the drinks well balanced. The pierogies were cooked just right. I was a little caught off guard because I ordered mine without bacon bits but they charged me the same amount. I feel like if you skip on the bacon bits you should at least double the onion. That's my only con to this restaurant. read more

I am not a hard person to please when I eat out but I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. A big red flag should have been how empty the restaurant was at 12:30 for Sunday brunch. I had been meaning to try this place for awhile and I will not be returning. Under all circumstances, do not come here if you or someone in your party is dealing with allergies. We were a group of 7 women. One had a gluten allergy and the other did not eat pork for religious reasons. We asked at the beginning of the meal about the gluten free preparations and were told that all items on the menu came gluten free and it wasn't a special preparation (which contradicted what the menu said). We ordered 2 appetizers: the pork belly and the perogies. The pork belly was listed as coming with jalapeño and there were only 2 very small pieces of jalapeño in the dish. It was chewy and bland. The perogies were also very bland. I was wishing we had salt on the table. We had 3 women in our group order the eggs Benedict. One specified gluten free and one requested for the Canadian bacon to be served on the side (she did not eat pork for religious reasons and wanted to be able to give the Canadian bacon to someone else). When our food was delivered, the handed an eggs Benedict to my friend who asked for the Canadian bacon on the side the eggs Benedict with the Canadian bacon on it. She said "Excuse me I asked for the bacon on the side" and was corrected "Yes, but that's ham!" My friend, very patiently, explained "Yes, that is Canadian bacon... pork... I can't eat this" and they agreed to prepare her a new dish and remove it from the bill. Immediately after that, my other friend was handed her eggs Benedict. The waiter said "gluten free eggs Benedict" and handed her the dish. She looked at the English muffins on the plate immediately questioned "Are you sure this is gluten free?" "YES! That is gluten free." She took a bite and swallowed it, just as a plate of eggs Benedict without English muffins was delivered to our other friend. We all immediately did the math and they switched plates. We explained the situation to the servers and did not even receive an apology. We were very understanding but obviously uncomfortable and concerned. The fact that when we figured out they had just served a gluten dish and lied about it was not acknowledged. I ordered the avocado toast and it was incredibly bland. However, I did request no cilantro on it, so it may have tasted better to those who can stand cilantro. After the eggs benedict situations it was clear the servers were avoiding our table. After a long time of sitting at the table, we had to wave the server over to request 2 boxes (which we would normally avoid doing as it can be rude). We were handed boxes and then sat for awhile before our plates were cleared and then had to wave someone over 15-20 minutes after boxes happened to request our check. I wanted to stress that we were not being rude to our servers at all. At one point I went to the bathroom and overheard a group of servers standing and saying "It's always the women". I assumed they were talking about our table and was absolutely shocked considering we were being very patient and understanding about our situations. My sister asked to see the manager on our way out. The manager was very concerned and upset that he was not brought into the situation sooner. It was promised to her that we would be taken care of if we decided to come back. However, we will not be returning. read more

I'm so glad this restaurant is operating during COVID-19 as it has both nice social distanced indoor and outdoor seating. It was my first time here but the others in my party had been here multiple times before COVID-19 and said they enjoyed it. It wasn't very crowded as it was a Tuesday evening after raining a few hours earlier. The staff was friendly and wore masks. The atmosphere was lovely. The food was not impressive to me considering the price. The baked burrata was not prepared to my liking but luckily someone else at the table liked it. They were out of some beers on the drink menu but the staff was quick to offer an alternative. Overall it wasn't bad, I had just hoped it would have been better than chain Bar Louie's on the same block. read more

The Foundry Table & Tap - Front entrance where you check in the hostess for seating - Gastropubs Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Foundry describes itself as a gastropub, which I think is a nice trendy way of saying it serves delicious food, solid craft beer and strong mixed cocktails. It does all of this and it does it well. The front waiting room was a little bare, so I was worried I was in the wrong place, but thankfully a host found me and led me to the back, which is where all the magic happens. I sat at the bar, which was fully stocked with quality libations. In addition, the beer list was fairly expansive and included a nice variety of styles from both regional and national craft breweries. I visited during happy hour so all draft beers were half off which was a nice perk. Foodwise, there are plenty of options and they're quite filling. The menu is straight forward with normal American dishes including apps, sandwiches and some main courses. The bartender recommended the pierogis, which are a Pittsburgh delicacy. Unfortunately I didn't take her advice because I didn't want to ruin my dinner, but a gentleman down the bar made sure to let me know I was making a mistake. I'll take his word on it. I ended up ordering a special, which was a chopped up steak sandwich and a side of fries. Add in a couple of pilsners and I was a happy camper. One quick note, I dined before a baseball game. While I enjoyed my visit, my meal and will highlight the happy hour, I'm not sure if it's the best pregame place. I will say, I do think it's a great happy hour and dinner venue. You will get your fill of food and it matches up well to the beers on tap. If you do stop before a game, I recommend eating a lighter dish. read more

I visited The Foundry with my out of town family on Sunday evening for dinner. We had a great experience. I called ahead to make sure they could seat us, because we had my toddler niece with us. They said they could squeeze us in and they had a table ready to go for us when we arrived! Our server, Tiffany, was very attentive and kind. We ordered my niece's food right away because she was getting pretty hungry and the mac n; cheese came out quick. The portion size of the side of mac n' cheese was huge! So great value for a side. The whole ordered process was great and easy. It was nice to sit and be served. I usually find myself at fast casual restaurants or restaurants with QR code ordering (which I'm a fan of!) but it was nice to have a relaxed dining experience. Everyone enjoyed their meals! My mom commented on how much she loved her burger and my brother in law and fiance loved their salmon BLTs. read more

This was a good enough place for a last minute brunch on a weekend. Positives: amazing Brussels sprouts side dish, fries, and overall taste of food. Did not have to wait long after ordering Negatives: "sunny side up" eggs were cooked over medium on two out of 3 dishes our party ordered with eggs on them. Bloody Mary was very mid and needed some sort of seasoning. Simple service things could be improved, for example the waitress came to clear our appetizer and took dirty forks, but did not replace them until we asked, after our main food had already arrived too. read more

I enjoyed probably the biggest burger I ever had in my life! Two of us split it along with an appetizer and it was more than enough. We also got the poutine. The two cocktails we ordered were fabulous, and my old-fashioned was so good that it really got me interested in making my own as a hobby through the winter months! I really like the atmosphere and the vibe of this place. It's very cozy but yet fun. I look forward to coming back in the summertime to enjoy the outdoor space looking over the river. read more

We tried a number of restaurants on North Shore Drive between the stadium's and this by far is our favorite. Great service, big open spaces, beautiful setting by the rivers. Food was outstanding. Smoked Gouda Mac and cheese is a must. Chopped salad was excellent. Chicken tacos were very good and the sweet corn salsa is very tasty. I'd highly recommend trying place. read more

Yummy delicious food- great service- easy vibe - nice location - great energy. Loved the food, we had the pork belly, pirogies, chicken & waffles, roasted beet salad, hamburger & chicken sandwich. The drinks are also quite yummy....try the bourbon martini you won't regret it! read more

This is the third time we have tried it here, more than likely the last though. The atmosphere/design makes it seem like it will a super cool place to hang out. We have not found the wait staff to be overly warm or friendly, the food is marginal and over priced. All 3 times we have asked to be seated outside and have been denied (with PLENTY of open tables) Other things to mention... they don't open until 4;00. And my margarita was the most sour margarita I have ever had. 2 stars/ 4$$ read more

(bonus half star for ambiance being right on the river) The Cons: The food was firmly at North Shore prices. On the whole, this wasnt too bad, just bear in mind that for $8 you get a tasty but tiny champagne glass for your Mimosa or Bellini. The "Meh": The Pork buns were good, but definitely needed a little more of the heat/spice for the price point and felt like the "participation award" of steamed pork buns. There's just better pork buns at place like Noodlehead etc. I realize this isn't the best comparison, but they didn't wow us The Pros: Eating brunch outside right by the river is very nice and the hot honey on the chicken with the Chicken and waffles is really well done. The waffle was very savory, but both my partner and I agree that there wasn't enough hot honey. My Huevos Rancheros were good, but it comes on two hard tortilla shells, which is just peculiar. The breakfast potatoes were very tasty though, and I wanted more. All in all, it was fine for a brunch. When it comes down to it, for the total price, there's better. But the beer list looked good, and it'd be a good brunch place to take family if they're right there in one of the hotels and need to get on the road afterwards. The prices are decent for most of the dishes, they just seemed more noticeable with Foundry. It's nice brunch like I said, but it didnt wow us for the total price. There's better options, even within a 5 minute drive from that stretch. read more

Food was good! We got the Freddy melt and the chicken sandwich w fries. Fries were a little cold and I found a white short hair on the last bite of my chicken sandwich . Other than that pretty good. Loud atmosphere and crowded but we expected that since it's on the north shore. read more

Came here with my fiancé and my father to grab a bite to eat before a Pirate game. I've only ever been here for beverages, so I was excited to finally try it out for the food. We were greeted and seated right away. We were there early before the game so there wasn't many people in the restaurant yet. It's very spacious inside and has space to sit and eat in the front of the restaurant and in the back of the restaurant. A very large party of 15 very loud and very drunk men were seated beside us a few minutes after being sat. I mean there's a whole restaurant with lots of space and MANY tables available. So that was irritating to us since we could barely hear each other talks. Our service was OK. Our server was very blah and a tad rude - she seemed bothered by customers and gave the vibe that she didn't really want to be there. As far as food goes, I ordered the haluski, brussel sprouts, and pierogies. My fiancé is not from Pittsburgh so I wanted him to try pierogies and I will say that I was pleased. The brussel sprouts were delicious. I liked the haluski, but wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor that the duck confit gave it. That's just my personal opinion. My dad however liked it. My fiancé and I were not pleased with the Mac n cheese. It was dry and cheese was sprinkled on top. It wasn't even mixed in or anything. It's like they put noodles in a pan and sprinkled cheese on top and called it mac n cheese. read more

Buffalo chicken wrap had 2 small chunks of chicken per side. It did not even taste like buffalo chicken. We asked for ranch and they put bleu cheese on it. Spinach and artichoke dip was cold and the pita bread was stale. We would have told the waiter but he disappeared for the night. Bad food, bad service, don't waste your money or your time here. read more

We decided to try this place while we waited for the Steelers game! From the front it was deceiving, it's a lot bigger than we thought. We got our table fairly quickly. The menu selection is very small and I found the food mediocre at best. My waiter wasn't the nicest, when I requested my wings to be well done he stated that the wings are cooked 3 times. When the wings came out it wasn't even close to being well done. The chili had tons of flavor but personally too spicy for my taste buds. Next time I visit, Ill try a longer wait for a different restaurant. read more

Great food as always. We came here for dinner around 7pm on a Saturday night. Average crowd. By the time we left around 9pm, it was packed. We ordered the Yukon Potato Pierogies, Red Snapper and Pan seared Salmon. Menu stated the kielbasa would be charred but there was charring on the kielbasa whatsoever. Otherwise, it was decent. The fish was cooked to perfection as always and tasty as ever. Service was slightly slower than normal but it was also a Saturday night. Would return again. read more

First time and will not be the last! Great atmosphere right on the north shore and a perfect spot to hit up before a game. I decided to have dinner and drinks there and it did not disappoint. My absolute favorite drink was this Blackberry Raspberry Mule! Wow! It was slightly sweet and slightly tart and it was the perfect combo. For dinner I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich it packed a punch and a lot of flavor. You could tell the chicken breast was fresh and homemade. Additionally, I sat at the bar and the service was wonderful. Kind employees and quick service, they even had great suggestions when it came to the menu. read more

I loved sitting outside on the patio, the food was ok but I was expecting more to be honest. The burgers and sandwiches look great, but the mushroom risotto I ordered came up a little short. There wasn't much flavor at all. The walleye was positioned over a bed of croutons which I also found odd. Best part about the meal was the pirogies, I would definitely order those again! read more

Fantastic experience for a group of 40 business dinner. The owners worked with me to customize a lovely menu on a very reasonable budget. We say outside on the river with the lovely trees and twinkly lights as the sun went down. The service was wonderful, especially for such a large group. The food was EXCELLENT. The hors d'oeuvres were generous and delicious, especially the charcuterie and tartlets, and beautifully displayed. The lamb was amazing but all the plated entrees were apparently delicious, and the desserts were luscious. This would be a lovely date spot too but it was perfect for our team dinner. Well done. read more

We came to Foundry's for brunch a couple of Sundays ago. I made reservations but it wasn't necessary. The restaurant is very large and can accommodate big groups easily. This particular day I believe there was a private party in the room next to the bar, as I saw the Steeler's game being projected onto the wall and several people. We opted to sit at the huge bar in the back. Note there are two bars. The inside of the place is very clean, sleek, and modern. Our bartender/waitress was very pleasant and made us aware of their bloody Mary bar that they offer on the weekends. The bar had a decent amount of selections to doll up your bevvy, though I missed the additional hot sauce. After I made my Bloody the bartender walked by with a tray of bacon and offered me my fill since it was supposed to be on the bar. I don't usually eat bacon, but when I do it's at brunch with a bloody. Such a nice salty compliment to a spicy acidic drink. For my meal we opted to share an order of the pumpkin pierogis, and for my entrée I chose Cap "N" Benedict. The benny stated it came with hash browns and I inquired if they were deep fried since I don't like deep fried food. She said they were pan fried which depending can be acceptable. Upon delivery I felt not only the hash browns were terribly hard and tasteless and added nothing to the dish. One bite of them and I pushed them to the side. Not good. The rest of the dish was pretty tasty but the portion was small for $12.00 especially since the triangle hash browns were terrible. I was very happy we ordered the pierogis, which were different but good, otherwise I would have still been very hungry. We spent the better part of the afternoon watching the game and indulging in a few brunch beverages. Our check was steep, but we did have a good time. I would like to come back especially since the place is in a great location in regards to the stadiums and it's a nice open clean space. The food was good, but it could use some tweaking with some ingredients, portions, or price. Service on the other hand was very good. read more

Nice place. Decent food and great beer selection. Nice rear patio overlooking the river.

Ordered the New York strip steak, medium, it came well done. Service was good. Food was not flavorful at all, including the fries. Hard pass. Can't see myself ever eating here again but the ambience and drinks were good. Please get a new chef. Preferably somebody with experience in flavors. Steak shouldn't taste like boiled fish. read more

Excellent dinner this evening! We gathered to celebrate our friend's upcoming wedding and had a wonderful meal. We got 4 appetizers to share with the table: Nachos, Brussels sprouts, General Taos cauliflower, & a charcuterie board. All were fantastic. I got the ribeye medium and it was perfect! Not one person had a complaint about their food, and our server was fantastic. Her name was Michelle and she was great throughout the evening. Excellent service and much appreciated! read more

Have gone here several times rather it be for brunch, happy hours, dinner, or a small bridal shower we threw. The service, food, atmosphere has all been great!

Definitely recommend this place for any meal and any occasion. read more

Really great food and ambiance! Hot cocoa crème brûlée was especially good. Will be back!

The drinks were really well made, the food (ALL of it) was so good and different than other local restaurants and the interior and exterior dining areas are beautiful. We sat outside and really enjoyed the view of the river and nearby trail. We had a reservation and were seated right away, but our waitress did seem busy and so it took a little longer than we expected to have drinks refilled or to get our check. She was friendly and apologetic so this didn't effect my overall impression of our first time here. Brunch here sounds amazing so we definitely want to head back and try it out. Parking was simple and quick with a nearby paid lot ($8 for a Friday night). Can't wait to return. read more

Popped in for a quick lunch since we were in the area. Started with the pork belly bites which, although having tons of flavor and being super moist, were slightly over-glazed which made them stick to your teeth and very difficult to eat. I then had the scallops in an nduja emulsion which, while flavorful were kind of stingily prepared. The 's' in 'scallops' obviously implied plural, and they were, all two of them which were cut in half for effect. I expected a bit more for the prices. Service was spacey and kind of needed constant waving down to either take our order, get us refills and bring us the check. read more

Good beer list and great food. The service was a little slow, but we figured they are still figuring things out. Everything we tasted was creative and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich, which is their most popular entree. Fries were excellent and so were the pumpkin Pierogies. We were hoping to drink the Space Dust on tap, but it was out when we arrived. In all, an excellent choice. read more
