harris grill, i think  your menu is trying too hard.

first place i went on my visit to pittsburgh.  menu was a little overly silly, waitress was a little underly friendly/helpful/timely, and food, while decent, was overpriced for the quality.

i may be…More »

What's up, cheesecurds?  Poutine was solidly great - the cheese curds were squeaky, and that's the make-or-break.  Also, I pretty much swam in my mussel broth.  Yums.

This place was maybe my favorite stop in Pittsburgh.  Cool atmosphere, wish I'd have been able to make a show here.

Got the Bahn Mi, and for a mayo-hater like me they offered to replace with some straight Sriracha.  Awfully nice.  Also, the folks…More »

Local rootbeer is always a win, and the hotdogs and pizza were no disappointment.

The jerk chicken wings, on the other hand...inedible.  Stick to the dogs and the za, you won't be sorry.
