Food truck
Tiffany Y.

Cold Friends Kitchen sells appetizers, smash burgers and other sandwiches, and bowls. I saw Cold Friends Kitchen's food truck at the BaconBurgh festival, and they were offering several menu items. I bought a Jelly Belly smash burger from them. The employee made friendly conversation and mae my burger in a reasonable amount of time. This Jelly Belly smash burger uniquely contained pork belly, muenster, jalapeno-apricot jam, peanut butter, and peanut crunch. As I ate this burger, it dripped all over my hands, and I had to use hand wipes to clean my fingers. However, it did taste good. According to Cold Friends Kitchen's website, they also offer catering.

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls and Pierogies

They were outside of Velum in Southside! I liked both the egg rolls and pierogies. I heard the burgers are good so I will have to try one next time.

Cheeseburger Egg Rolls

Cold Friends Kitchen offers some of my favorite comfort food in Pittsburgh. The cheeseburger egg rolls and pierogies never disappoint. They both have strong savory blends of flavor in their own way, and the portions are relatively generous for the price. The crew are always so friendly and are always happy to make recommendations. Something to note: this is a food truck stationed outside of Velum Fermentation. You'll need to make use of Velum's seating if you're not getting your food to go.

Jelly Belly Burger

I'd give them more starts if I could!! Tried this food truck at the bacon burgh festival for the first time and it was the best burger I've ever had and the most innovative food in Pittsburgh that I've tried in a long time. I got the jelly belly and it was messy but so worth it. I will track them down to get another one!! Very kind and fast for being one of the busier booths.

delicious burger with a real coke

So I came to the Southside looking for a good burger thanks to my trusty yelp app Cold Friends came up its a food truck parked outside Velum which is a whole other review step back into 1975 over here delicious burger maybe one of the best in the burgh and for sure worth a visit big juicy burger nice melty cheese so good and a side of Mac and cheese that is so cheesy and good and worth it on its own and it sits outside 1975 go on in there is a pinball parlor sat and enjoyed my burger in the pinball parlor fantastic parking could be a bit of a challenge I parked on the street 25 bucks for my meal well worth it I will be back

Cheese Burger Egg Rolls & Pork Belly Bites
Xin F.

Discovered them while I was at Velum and will never forget the mind blown pork belly bites I had ever since. Absolutely the best I've ever had in my life. The perfect balance of charredness and juicy on the inside. The staffs are so friendly and you can tell by how much they enjoy being in the kitchen! Love watching them prepare the food. One of my favorite food trucks in the city. Tip: They also offer a pay it forward meal if you would like to do that too.

Hot Shot
Andrew H.

Ate here while drinking beers at Velum and...I gotta say...they are better, much better, at making food than Velum is at making beer. The menu is...hard to explain. A mix of high-end stoner food, classic American, new-school American, PGH local flavor, and even some Asian influences. I got a big ol sloppy wet burger and...it was incredible. It was called the hot shot and...while I wish it was a bit more spicy...it was packed with hearty flavors. It also came with fries, something that is sadly becoming rare in the fancier burger scene. The fries were also really good, good enough to be ordered on their own.

Blackened Gold Mac - beer mac, jalapeño ghost pepper cheese, pork belly, scallion, chive, dippy egg
Karen H.

Cold Friends Kitchen is taking over at New Amsterdam and it's been a huge upgrade! I got the Blackened Gold Mac and it was so flavorful and delicious. It also reheated very well in the microwave!

The billionaire
Sarah G.

INCREDIBLE FOOD TRUCK WITH AN INCREDIBLE MISSION. Just do yourself a favor and give it a try. The burgers were fantastic, I don't love pork belly and I could eat theirs all day, the curry poutine is innovative, and the fries were spot on. I tried their soup of the day, and it was confidently one of the most unique and delicious creations. Their stuff is next level and the staff are genuine people. Go support them, you won't regret it!!

See all

We had a reservation for Christmas Day at 7pm. It was absolutely packed inside so a reservation was…read morenecessary for that day. We were seated and someone took our order fairly quickly. We waited and waited and at 8:23pm when I saw that a table that was seated after us already got their food, I finally spoke up. It turns out the person who took our order was new and never put it in. They gave each person a canned Coke for the inconvenience. If you got, I would maybe check in on your food a half hour after putting it in because once they made sure our food orders were in, all the dishes came out very very quickly. The food itself was absolutely delicious when we finally got it. Everything was really flavorful and we had plenty of leftovers to take home.

So, it's not the typical chicken lo mein, but they do have some great options for every diet. Service was quick. We used GrubHub. Arrived hot and well packaged. Warning. The beef and string beans are spicy af and I love spicy. It was sooooo good w fried rice. The crab wonton were perfect and the dumpling soup was also very good! I can tell this spot caters to taste buds that want big flavor. Can't wait to try other items on their menu soon. Since we didnt dine in, we don't know the ambience but it's worth it to pay a visit in the new year.
