    Poached Crab Eggs Benedict
    Linda S.

    We just had a fabulous brunch this morning at the Gray Goose. This was one of the best brunches I've had in a while. My daughter and I chose the Poached Crab Eggs Benedict which was really good. I liked that they added avocado and almonds to it. My son had the pancakes which were huge! Almost covered the entire plate! My husband had the Big Breakfast and it lived up to its namesake. The home fries were really special, made with fingerling potatoes so they were very crisp yet soft inside. Everyone thought the food was good and of a high quality. The jam was even homemade that they served with the toast! Our waitress was very attentive. She kept the water, coffee and iced tea all filled at the right time. We sat in the dining room with the stone fireplace. The whole restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. Including the restrooms. They even had nice simple Easter decorations in the entryway. I have been here many times and each time it seems to improve in the quality of the food. Kudos to the chef!

    Monte cristo
    Kristine S.

    This is one of my favorite places for brunch. I always sit at the bar and Karen is phenomenal. She has great recommendations and is seriously the kindest and nicest person. The food is awesome--the smash burger was incredible and get it animal style for a taste of California. The monte cristo sandwich was delish and the big breakfast was just what my son had in mind. Pancake, eggs, bacon and fruit. I'd say that it's a little pricey, but in my opinion, well worth it. The pond in the back adds to the charm. Inside could use a little sprucing up, but I can live with it as I love everything else!

    Half Garden Salad
    Margy C.

    We came here the night before but they were too busy to accommodate us. It seems the area may have been hit with the aftermath of the pandemic where service workers have moved onto other things. We decided we would make reservations for the next day for lunch. And we did come back around 11:00 a.m. We got the half garden salad, PEI mussels, and burger and fries. Our friends also got the burger and fries and lobster roll. We all thought the fries were limpy and would have preferred crispier fries. The friend with the lobster roll didn't finish her meal. She thought it didn't taste fresh. I got the mussels. Though it was a large portion, the mussels were very tiny. The broth had no taste. It needed more flavor. Service was definitely friendly and was the best part of our mediocre meal. Wish the food held up to the lovely establishment.

    The BIG Breakfast. No really, it's BIG
    Stacey B.

    We were in search of a good place to grab brunch/lunch around Ligonier and thankfully ended up selecting The Gray Goose. We were the only table there for a while on a Saturday morning. The bartender was also our server and he did a great job, including taking a few pics of our brunch bunch and telling us about the history of the place. The Big Breakfast is GINORMOUS!!! It needs a new name reflective of its mind numbing largeness. I hunkered down and dug in, pledging to finish it all. It took some real doing, let me tell you, but every bite was so delicious and layered with flavors. The potatoes did not look like much. Don't be fooled. They are just sublime as was the freshly made wheat berry bread and super fresh eggs. The bacon was so perfectly crisp and yet thickly cut so it made for a great bite with some egg mixed in. But wait! There's more! Those pancakes were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside with tremendous flavor that was enhanced by the really yummy syrup and butter. Everyone else enjoyed their brunch items too. It's pricey but worth it.

    Rock shrimp
    Paul L.

    My wife and I had an enjoyable evening at the Gray Goose. The restaurant has a very homey colonial tavern atmosphere. We started with their fried rock shrimp special. It was delicious. It had a sweet bbq taste, combined with some jalapeño heat, all balanced with a yummy sour cream dipping sauce. We then split the Caesar salad, which was good but not great. For our main coarse, my wife ordered a crab cake. Like the salad, it was good but not great. It had a nice flavor, but had a bit too much breading. My meal, however, was outstanding. I got the short rib pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The ragu was spot on. I completely cleaned my plate - I couldn't get enough of it! Combine the good meal with a friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere, and the result is a very satisfied customer who will be back.

    Cheeseburger and fries - so good!

    We came to Pittsburgh while they were hosting the D2 March Madness in 2026, and thanks to my…read morenephew's team bringing us out here, we were able to uncover this gem of a cigar lounge. I've been to quite a few cigar lounges--and even worked at one--so I have a good sense of what makes a place stand out. Burn by Rocky Patel did just that on every level. The ambiance, décor, cigar selection, and service were all top-tier. It's a classy lounge with a twist of sports bar energy, which made it both elevated and fun. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day, and they had live entertainment--a violinist playing along to hip hop and R&B--which created such a unique vibe. Kayla, the bartender, let us know about the live entertainment the day before, it wasn't posted on their social media or website. She was attentive, sweet, and made excellent drinks. Evan, who was working the cigar side, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and communicated well with customers even during a heavy flow. One thing that really stood out was the crowd--mixed ages, mature, and plenty of ladies confidently partaking in the beautiful art of cigars, which I loved seeing. Even if you don't smoke cigars, the vibes in this place are worth the visit. If and when I return to Pittsburgh, this place is a must. It's also within walking distance to the stadiums, which is a huge plus. Feedback for management: The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the disconnect between locations and social media postings. There was an event listed on the website that wasn't actually happening at this location, while an amazing event that was happening wasn't shared online; which would have been a shame to miss. It may be worth considering in-house social media and website management to ensure updates are accurate and timely to the specific location.

    We aren't cigar smokers, or smokers at all, so went just for the experience as newbies and the…read morestaff were super supportive in teaching us. I really loved the chill vibe on a Sunday afternoon, old r&b jams and overall friendliness of everyone. Good drinks and nachos too! We stopped after brunch to hang out and it appeared to be the perfect time as it was nearly empty when we first came in then filled in after. My main negative is the smell gets stuck in my hair so that will be a deterrent for me coming back unfortunately, but I will at some point for the atmosphere.
