A Wonderful Little Gem -- Thanks to Anna! We are currently traveling throughout the country filming content for our new app, Your Daily Presence, and during this part of our journey, we are staying at the DoubleTree. After arriving late Sunday evening, we were exhausted and really didn't feel like venturing out again for dinner. Thankfully, we stumbled across this wonderful little gem right inside the hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by our host and server, Anna. She could tell we had been traveling and were tired, and she immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. Anna took care of everything, offered some excellent food recommendations--which we gladly took--and both the food and service were outstanding. Sometimes, especially when you're traveling, it's the kindness and hospitality of one person that can make all the difference. Anna certainly did that for us. Thank you, Anna, for making the end of a long travel day so relaxing and enjoyable. Your kindness, attentiveness, and wonderful service were sincerely appreciated. You helped make our arrival and stay at the DoubleTree that much more enjoyable. read more

A lot of mixed reviews here but my food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the carne asada salad and it was amazing. The steak was perfectly grilled and the greens were great with a tasty and creamy avocado dressing. The service was friendly. The restaurant was very quiet at 1:30 on a weekday. No complaints! read more

Honestly, it just felt like a regular sit down table service restaurant... No-frills, nothing truly quintessential Pittsburgh, which, when visiting various hotels as a local, I would expect... Food wasn't bad, but I guess it just felt like it was missing something... Just one hostess playing waitress, and many other roles in the morning when I was there, though the service was great. not a bad option for a quick bite, and not a bad option since there's no included breakfast at the Doubletree, but I think we can do better. read more

The food was not good and was just insanely overpriced, even if it had been decent. I paid $18 for avocado toast -- truly my bad for ordering -- that was one very thin small slice of bread with the thinnest smear of guacamole and two eggs and a handful of cherry tomatoes. No potatoes. Bad coffee too. Service was prompt and friendly but yikes, who is rating the food here so highly?! I mean, it's a restaurant in a hotel -- I didn't have high expectations. But it didn't even meet my hopes for mediocrity read more

I came with a large group after a convention and we easily made a reservation, got served, and received our food. It seemed like everyone enjoyed their meals, just too expensive. There are several TVs playing sports/entertainment. Overall, great restaurant located in the Double Tree with friendly staff and tasty food. read more

The Bigelow Grille - Short Rib French Dip (with side of ranch) - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Good service. I have eaten here for breakfast and dinner a few times over the last couple of years. The Bigelow Grille is located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh downtown it is a pretty solid dining option. This April (2024) I decided to do dinner. I ordered the PGH Steak Sandwich which was super filling and tasty. I ordered a side of ranch for my fries and it was perfect. The offer Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and of course are open for Happy Hour. Dine inside or there is a Patio that is opened seasonally. You can check out their website at www.thebigelowgrille.com read more

The hotel and their parking totally frustrated and started me out with a sour mood. The restaurant and bar service made up for it. Staff was very friendly, drinks mixed nicely with a nice kick. I ordered a cobb salad. I asked for it in the to go container since i knew i would not finish it. I found it strange that my salad came with french fries on top... (insert blank stare) Not quite the healthy meal I was expecting but the salad was fresh, greens were tasty and toppings were otherwise exactly what i expected. read more

Food. Ok. Drinks. Terrible. Service. Terrible. Food was nothing to rave about. Grilled chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread. Tasted fresh. Alcoholic drinks were a complete waste of money. Too much syrup. If I would've drank the one I initially ordered would've had a migraine. Ordered a second drink (not fruity) and it was just as bad . Even upgraded to top shelf liquor and the drink was still a bust. I would say as long as you aren't ordering a cocktail and stick to a sandwich, you probably won't be disappointed. Oh and the customer service, well good luck with that. read more

After staying a night in the DoubleTree in Downtown Pittsburgh, I came here for breakfast, as it's in the DoubleTree. Service was great! They have a nice breakfast menu, offering the typical (boring!) breakfast items, as well as interesting items, like their omelet, but their breakfast sandwich was outstanding! Looked beautiful and tasted great. Potatoes were nicely done too. I enjoyed my visit for breakfast.... But according to previous review, your mileage may vary! read more

Bigelow Grille is attached to the DoubleTree Hilton. It's location is therefore great if staying at the hotel. The review is probably easily summed up that this restaurant would not exist if not for it being attached the the hotel. Food. Went there for breakfast and it was $22/person for a Buffett. The Buffett was subpar. Atmosphere. None. Sterile cheap hotel furniture and decorations. Service. It was a a Buffett so... read more

Had a 6:30pm reservation before the Justin Timberlake concert and never got seated. We showed up 10 minutes early for the reservation and were told it would be a few minutes. We decided to leave after waiting 40 minutes. If a restaurant takes reservations they should be equipped to handle those. read more

My experience here was legit. According to our waitress (Courtney) she commented they recently opened about a month ago. The place was super empty! 3-4 guys by the bar tops! We knew what we wanted and my friend had a plain burger and I had the B.E.L.T. Everything was delicious. I had a side order of a salad but my friend said his fries were delicious. They give a lot of fries. Well we liked it so much, we came back the same night and I mind you Courtney was an amazing host and waitress. She did everything!! Just like most of the food industry, workers are seldom these days. Thanks Pandemic! But Courtney was on POINT! Give her a raise! We came back with a bigger group. We ordered wings! The lemon pepper wings were great! The Buffalo were super spicy! However I will say their advertisement of the wings being jumbo is a lie, and they only give 6 wings, plus it's like $12, absolutely not $12 worth. Yet we did have the fried chicken sandwiches around the table. That was extremely good with their fries. I know the reviews are not great but my experience was great. One last thing- parking is hard to find and it's a part of the Double Tree. read more

I feel like hotel restaurants can either be a hit or a miss & Bigelow Grille is definitely a HIT! If you've never been, it's inside of the DoubleTree Hotel. You can valet park with the hotel & it's free if you're only dining (there are hourly/overnight charges for hotel guests). They are open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch & dinner (hard to find that in downtown restaurants)! I went for lunch and had the Spiced Tempura Gulf Shrimp to start. It was soooo good - it was lightly batter & fried perfectly. The tiger sauce on it was delicious. I also had the Bigelow Burger which is awesome - not many other burgers like this one. The "not so secret sauce" is the perfect addition. The fries were crispy & it was a generous portion. Our server, Irina, was amazing - very attentive & gave us great recommendations on the menu. Bigelow Grille also has a daily happy hour menu & they're a 5 minute walk to PPG Paints Arena so it's a great spot before a concert or game. Loved my experience and will definitely be back! read more

Nice place, if somewhat confused modern decor. Very nice waiter, and the Muzak was classic rock n roll low enough that we could easily converse in normal voices. All the food was decent Americana: fried chicken sandwich with bacon and tasty fries, scallops with grilled lettuce, savory duck, and rib eye with Brussels slaw. The cocktails looked tempting, but we didn't partake that night. Note bene to anyone with mobility, bladder, or bowel issues, there is no restroom in the restaurant itself. It is across the restaurant lobby (no stairs, just ramps). read more

The Bigelow Grille - Shrimp small plate - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Small hotel based restaurant with limited hours. Don't use the website for hours and menu as they aren't accurate due to COVID 19. Tried to come for late breakfast day before and they were closed until 4pm. So no lunch hours. Ordered breakfast, pancakes, fruit cup, sausage, hash browns and bacon with eggs. Food arrived quick and hot. Free coffee available at entrance, which was a pleasant surprise read more

Woke this am to the Pirates winning last night, so we were hungry and ready for today's game!! Had 'brekfes' as I call it, lol. I ordered the oatmeal with brûlée bananas, and golden raisins which was pretty good. My bf had the brekfes sandbitch lol. It came with the home fries that were bland. Not the cleanest place but it filled me and him up for the next few hours. Again, this place is clearly understaffed, but our waitress was friendly and attentive. We were in and out in an hour, watched the 3 TVs which was great. We saw the Pirates highlights from the game last night and are excited to explore the city today! read more

Terrible service: 1 waitress serving the whole restaurant with 20+ customers. You will get a good stretch on your neck looking for the waitress who never comes out of the kitchen. Pricy food: 50$ for 4 eggs with some potatoes. But it came so late that you won't have time to eat. read more

We came here for the Pierogis! They don't mention it in the menu but you have a choice of Pierogis for a side. We immediate got seated with chill water to start us off. Order: * Fried Chicken sandwich with pierogis which were amazing. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. It had crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato. The Pierogis were cooked to perfection with a dash of sour cream. * Mac & Cheese was yummy. It came with fried tomatoes, bacon bits and bread crumbs. Tasty! * Bigelow Burger with Pierogis was delicious. Can't go wrong with a burger. Overall we enjoyed our meal. The service was ok. Oh and don't forget to ask about the specials! We'd come here again. read more

I have had lunch and dinner at this spot on several occasions. The inside has a very clean and modern look to it. The service is always very fast and friendly. The food can be hit or miss. I have had some good meals, never anything great though. On my most recent trip I had the Bigelow burger. The meat did not seem like it was fresh ground, which at the price they charge for the burger it should be. It just seemed to uniform and did not have a fresh flavor. The burger was cooked properly which I appreciated, however it was just an average burger. I have also had the lamb burger before which was better than the Bigelow burger. It had a very unique taste. The best dish I have ever had here is the Mac and cheese. It has a great flavor to it and is filling! read more

The Bigelow Grille - Bigelow burger medium rare - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place wouldn't exist if it weren't in a hotel. It was a Sunday afternoon and we couldn't find anything else close by that was open. We ordered "smash" burgers and they were just thin patties (almost certainly right out of the freezer) and so dry they were hard to finish. A thin patty does NOT make a burger a "smash" burger!!! read more

Food was subpar at best. Overpriced. Very small portion. $9 for a local Pilsner was robbery. Dean the bartender was great though.

Avoid. It's fine if you want to drink and watch the game. Do NOT come for a meal. You will wait forever. Brought my family there for a meal because we were tired and didn't want to go out. The place was completely empty and it took 50 minutes. When I said something I was told they are short staffed. So you let us sit there forever with antsy kids and don't say anything? Then the food was mediocre at best. I forgive the high prices. I expected that, but you can't charge high prices for mediocre food that takes forever when the place is empty. read more

Yes it's a hotel restaurant, but the food was good and I didn't have to wander around the unfamiliar city on my first night here. It's nice to have a good place to eat nearby. read more

It's fine. No, really, it's fine. Seriously, it's fine. I'm not being sarcastic, it's fine. __________________________________ (this is just for the breakfast buffet, which I've had 10-15 times since I usually stay here when I come to Pittsburgh) read more

Restaurant at Hilton Doubletree downtown. went there for Monday night dinner and was not crowded. For the quality of food, which is above average it's fairly inexpensive and service is quite good and prompt. Coming to food, regular menu but decent selection. I tried goat cheese, arugula salad (server was flexible with offering any dressing I liked). Lamb burger with fries was well seasoned and tasty. Wide selection of craft beet and wine. All in all good meal for the price paid. Will surely return if I stay at the hotel again. read more

This restaurant didn't have the best reviews, so I was unsure. Fortunately, I was blown away with the customer service by the restaurant manager. He understood my dilemma and picked up real fast that I was a discerning customer. First, I checked in and to my surprise Yelp was offering a free tin of cookies! The morning restaurant staff was not aware of "tins of cookies", but after I insisted that Yelp was offering a "tin of cookies", at check in, she checked and "yep", it was available for private events. I guess I was going to be a private one-woman event! I was told they would be waiting for me at the front desk when I came back from my conference. They were and they were warm and so delicious...I brought the beautiful tin and cookies home with me. There were a ton of cookies in the tin - impressive! The food: later I had room service and the manager helped me to decide. I had a lovely gnocchi with oxtail and kale and it was delightful. There was a side of shaved parmesan reggiano and it was divine. I am so glad that he helped me pick that meal, although there seemed to be a few other really good choices. The manager shared with me that they are a farm to table restaurant, and that their chicken and meat comes directly from this source. The breakfast was great (the buffet) one day they served a delicious beef hash, and the beef was so soft and flavorful. That was from the Farm to Table provider and was a one-day thing. I looked for that HASH the next morning, but nope, I was a little bummed, but, I needed no more calories. Overall, I would definitely not skip the restaurant if you are staying in the Doubletree in Pittsburgh. read more

Since I've worked in the Steel Building for years I've had my share of lunches here. There's not much to be said other than disappointing. Overpriced frozen foods slopped on a plate in half-assed fashion. That's all I've got. Sorry. read more

Got the burger, it was terrible! Bun was soggy, the actual burger patty was so small w a cold piece of cheese on top. Barely any sauce. We also got the bbq carrots as an appetizer they weren't very good but not as terrible as that sad burger. A McDonald's kid's cheeseburger looks like a 5 star burger next to this thing. The other person with me also got a burger and theirs was just as bad. How do y'all change $14 for a burger that isn't even as good as a 99 cent fast food burger? Go somewhere else, anywhere else. read more

I dined with my wife on the evening of August 5th at the DoubleTree Downtown Pittsburgh hotel restaurant (Bigelow Grill) (@9PM) and just as we were finishing our meal a small rat exited and then scampered back from under one of the nearby table pedestals. Horrible, disgusting and shocking. However, believing this to be an (unfortunate) exception we did decide to give the restaurant a second chance (albeit, during the daytime) for breakfast. No further incident until the morning of August 7th when we witnessed a large mouse run across the floor. The restaurant clearly has an unaddressed pervasive rodent problem. I reported the incidents to the head Desk manager upon checkout and left several messages for the General Manager on the issue but have yet to receive even an acknowledgment of the complaint. As a Hilton Diamonds member who has stayed at many Hilton Hotels, I can unequivocally state that I've never witnessed this at any other Hilton Hotel restaurant. I can only assume it is attributable to poor restaurant and hotel management. Advise high boots should you choose to dine there. read more

I met a co-worker here for Sunday brunch. My friend was a vegetarian so there were a few choices on the menu for her. I thought I ordered a chicken grilled salad, but was given a chicken sandwich. Not one to toss food, I did not return it though the waitress offered to correct the error. The sandwich was delicious, but the bacon was quite stringy so not my favorite (and I LOVE bacon). The fries were delicious and well seasoned. We enjoyed the ambiance and since the restaurant was not busy, we were able to sit and chat. read more

Service was great, pierogis were very good, and loved the kids Mac & Cheese! Husband said the chicken sandwich was good. Burger was okay, but the meat was charred/burnt on the outside and it was hard to get past that. I would come back but not get a burger and stick with pasta and pierogis. read more

All other components were horrible. Ordered the wings, which came burnt and charred on the back. The salad had very little toppings, it was drowned in dressing. Was charged for two beers instead of one. 14 bucks or six wings.... Do yourself a favor and walks down the block and eat a one of those restaurants. read more

Who'd've thought a hard-to-find place tucked beneath a hotel would be the place to grab some really good chow? Bigelow Grille prides itself on being a local and organic kitchen and bar, and I have to say, they know their stuff when it comes to their food. Their presentation and set-up, though...it leaves room for improvement. Before getting to the food menu I naturally looked over a wine menu and was disappointed by my limited options. If you only order a glass rather than a bottle, you can only pick from about 5 options instead of 20 or so. Sadly the drink I really wanted was only available as a bottle...also, I dealt with a very weird reaction when I got carded; the waitress said, "Oh my gosh, you're a baby!" Is this normal etiquette when talking to a young adult woman who works full time and has been out of school for a while? It wasn't outright offensive but it was very offputting. What was I supposed to say to that? Well, fortunately the meal itself was actually pretty stupendous and made up for everything. The tomato bisque had a really good kick to it that even I, a hater of spicey foods, really enjoyed. The lamb burger I ordered was to die for - cooked perfectly, served with a side of greens and dressing, all in the perfect portions. Forget dessert - I'd come back just to try another burger or their gnocchi! It's definitely been a long time since I ate such a fresh meal that left me satisfied, and I truly want to come back and enjoy another one. Now if only the weather wasn't getting colder...sadly, we must add another complaint regarding the place's layout: the restaurant has a long row of unlocked sliding doors right next to the dining tables. I guess if those doors don't lock during the winter, I'll have to postpone my next visit to the land of local organic goodness for the summer. The food may be good, but it's not good enough to shiver over! read more

Visiting from out-of-state.I brought a group of 14 year old, quiet, ballerinas to an empty restaurant at 5:30 pm. The manager sat us then walked up to our table to say "in the future, call first to make a reservation because most places would turn you away." Great wait staff, Will was very attentive- jerk of a manager. read more

As a female who travels for work, I always look to stay at a hotel with a restaurant. During a recent trip to Pittsburgh, I enjoyed 3 meals at the Bigelow Grille. All were salads plus protein and they were awesome. Creative ingredients. Quality produce. Excellent and properly prepared meats. I enjoyed the salad with butternut squash, the meatballs with arugula, and the steak salad. It's definitely worth stopping in. read more

Unfortunately this place hasn't improved for dinner. I don't understand why management doesn't redo this restaurant. Given the number of people that stay in the hotel, this place is usually empty at night except when there is a Penguins game. I'm sure they are excited that the strike is over. The Breakfast buffet is very good during the week; omelette station or eggs anyway you like it. Nancy is a great server! They have high turnover among the other servers; and service is usually lacking if you don't get Nancy. read more

I visited Bigelow Grill while staying the Doubletree. Four friends and I dined at the restaurant. My friend and I ordered the macaroni and cheese. Overall this was a very simple, yet tasty dish. The price was a little on the higher side for mac and cheese. Another friend ordered the pizza and she was happy with the product. Another friend ordered the grilled cheese. It was literally a block of cheese that was flambayed. The description on the menu did not properly describe the product. Overall food was good but prices could be a deterrent. We did not try any of the pricier items. read more
