Pittsburgh first-timer here!
Came on a little impromptu day trip to Pittsburgh after a really tough exam. So naturally, I wanted to eat all the good food and do all the fun things! My boyfriend and I decided to stop in for lunch, and mind you this was on St. Patrick's Day. The service was still great, and the quality of food was even better.
For appetizer, I would highly suggest the crab fritters. Much to my pleasant surprise, they were much bigger than I thought they'd be and had a good amount of crab meat in them. A great seafood starter to a meat-heavy meal.
I ordered the pastrami BLT. It. was. a mouthful. Take your average BLT and multiply it by 10000. The bold flavors of the pastrami with the thick cut bacon, an amazing house mayo, and toasted bread soaking up all the yummy juices from the meats. My boyfriend ordered the brisket grilled cheese. Now imagine your average childhood grilled cheese, with mounds of pulled brisket on it, oozing with cheese wiz. But not so much cheese wiz to be overwhelming, but just enough to compete with the smoky brisket flavor. Both of our sandwiches came with seasoned house potato chips. And one of the best parts, was tasting the variety of bbq sauces provided in bottles at the table. My top pick ~ the classic.
If i have ever been to meat heaven, this would be it. Leave your calorie counters at the door!
