| - So my family and I drove to Pittsburgh to watch the Steelers vs Bengals game since it was blacked out in our viewing area. After some searching and talking to the concierge at the Wyndham we decided to head over to Grille 36. We were a little apprehensive because of some of the reviews, but wanted to give our oldest a chance to see the stadium up close.
We had the BEST time and will be going back (despite the 5 hour drive) sooner the later. Our party of 5 was made up of 4 Steelers fans and 1 Bengals fan (and 3 of the 5 were children ranging from toddler to teen). The atmosphere and the staff were great. They had a fantasy football game and gave out bracelets to the kids. Sure everyone picked on my poor Bengals fan husband, but it was all fun and goodnatured and he wasn't the only Bengals fan in the building. He even remarked how cool everyone had been once we'd left.
As far as the food goes the best I can come up with as far as a complaint is that the nachos were only so so and probably not worth the price. Other than that we had 2 orders of the wings, dry with 3 different sauces (at our excellent servers suggestion), 2 orders of the fried pretzel sticks, the breakfast burger, the deep fried burger, the horseradish cheddar burger, the carrot cake and the chocolate, chocolate, chocolate cake. All were wonderful.
We were expecting the price to be on the expensive end, but despite all the food we had, plus drinks, including a tip we still priced out at under $200.
My introduction to the Steelers was with the Bus and he has always been my mothers favorite. When we left Grille 36 I made sure to call her and tell her it was the greatest day EVER!
