We had just arrived from out of town and decided to try this place around the corner from our hotel based on reviews and within walking distance. Great atmosphere, welcomed by the staff, and taken to our booth upon arriving. There were five of us and we all tried different food items.

This place is amazing! Super friendly staff behind the bar with lots of great local craft beer on tap. The best part IMO is their build your own burger. The burger and waffle fries were amazing. Lots of screens around to watch sports.

Stopped to honor the memory of my cousin who used to be the floor manager and worked the door, he passed away last year. They have his picture by the front door where he used to sit 🥰 Never ate here before and I am so glad we stopped! They just unveiled a new menu a few weeks ago and OH. MY. GOSH.

The food was amazing! The ribs and brisket were extremely tender, and all the sides were amazing. I was surprised by how much 1/2 rack of ribs was! Very meaty, and definitely enough for a meal! We also got the smoked chicken nachos which were fully loaded! The service was good.

Bartender there was very courteous and very informative. We were undecided on what to get and he made suggestions that in the end made this a super fantastic night. Been in Pittsburgh for three days coming out of Ohio and if it wasn’t for this place I would’ve never wanted to come to the city again.
