| - One of Pittsburgh's must visit bars. Fatheads is almost always busy with a 30-60ish minute wait for a table every Friday + Saturday night. With that statistic, you'd think this was some kind of fancy, trendy restaurant. But, it's really not, it's a bar. A bar with a great beer selection, including their own brews, and a really delicious menu. This just goes to show that some of the best, most popular places don't have to be fancy or have a trendy foodie following. It just has to be damn good.
I'm a fan of their killer sauce hot wings. It makes me salivate just thinking about them. They have a huge selection of sandwiches, both heart-attack style and healthier. The big famous sandwich is the Southside Slope piled with kielbasa, pierogies, and toppings. But, since I am not (or try not to be) that much of a glutton, I'd go with the Meatless Millie, their pierogies sandwich with sauerkraut.
**I interrupt this review with a public service announcement**
You can not check out the Pittsburgh food scene without eating pierogies. what are they? don't ask, just order. Places to get good pierogies: Fatheads (duh.), Bloomfield Bridge Tavern (BBT), Church Brew Works, some Polish grandma's kitchen.
**Now back to your regular programming**
With a good selection of salads to choose from, even your healthy eating friends will enjoy Fatheads. But the real question is: why do you have healthy eating friends? and why would you go out to eat with them?
Oh, and last but definitely not least, the beer. That you'll have to experience for yourself.
