| - Honest. American. Food.
That's what the door reads, and Union Grill stays true it's tagline. Despite Tessaro's claiming the best burger in Pittsburgh, Union Grill's Artisanal Cheeseburger is my favorite, especially when the cheese that month is Swiss Gruyere. The steakburger base handily trumps the crumbly patty at Tessaro's. While "the local" has toppings that sound good, I found it disappointing and have since ordered the Artisanal another half dozen times.
On days when I didn't need any more beef, I've tried the fish sandwich and the fish taco, both which use a huge fish n' chips style fried filet overflowing whatever piece of carbs it happens to be between. They are a good value, but don't match the awesomeness of the Artisanal. Union Grill also has a rotating tap, reasonably priced, and if you ever see Anderson Valley Summer Solstice, it is a must drink.
Once I even left my credit card here and they didn't mind me stopping by after they closed to pick it up. Nowadays, anytime I suggest a restaurant other than Union Grill to my Iranian friend, he has to ask, "but is it honest, American, food?" To which I reply, "havercrafte man pore mrmhi ast."
