Pittsburgh Grill and Sports Bar. But are they affiliated with Castle Shannon's Pittsburgh Sports Bar & Grill? More answers, more questions...
I pass this place regularly en route home from work, and one day last week, Kay wasn't home to cook. After hearing scuttlebutt that the menu had changed along with management since I last dropped by nearly a year ago, I decided to give PG a second chance.
Well, the service was great, my green (it was her 2nd day on the job) waitress coming off as amicable and on the ball during my entire meal. Eh, but that food still needs some work.
My Po Boy Sandwich was centered around what was essentially a crab/shrimp patty that was edible enough, I suppose. I've had worse. The pretzel bun was a nice touch, but despite what the menu said, there was no remoulade on the sandwich when it was brought to my table.
"Oh, the cook didn't know." my apologetic server said.
Thankfully, she brought me some of that sauce out along with lettuce, onion, tomato, and dill pickle chips.
The fries weren't a bust either and had on them some sort of breading or batter that elevated them slightly above run-of-the-mill.
Dessert for me was called a "Pecan Ball," despite walnuts encrusting the globe of golden vanilla ice cream. I had to send it back since it had no whipped cream nor any other toppings on it, but like the pile of fries, it was acceptably tasty and little more.
So, it turns out that things haven't changed that much after all. I'm wondering when PG will become something else. Then again, the house was half-full on a stormy weeknight. It must be the booze.
