[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped by on a weekday afternoon for a late lunch and the place was empty, save a slow but consistent trickle of pick-ups for online orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a pretty large tap list of local brews, and a variety of food item options as well. I tried the short rib melt with sweet potato tots, and the tots were perfect. The sandwich itself was very oily, and it just tasted like a philly cheesesteak grilled cheese. Decent price for the portion size though. read more

They had a lot of options and good service. The pork belly tacos had a strong mix of flavors and the tator tots were perfectly sweet. I took issue with the fried chicken wings because they came flavorless, all of the seasoning was at the bottom of the bowl. read more

Unfortunately, I have to be a negative reviewer because on the night my friends and I came here, the food was pretty bland. The potato Croquestas are not it. The risotto was very bland the meats are very dry. The food maybe after they have served you a couple of shots. Service was good, our server came by to check up on us a couple of times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's pretty loud here, but its a bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Great staff! They know exactly how to treat customers. I was falling asleep at the table and they kindly changed my order to take home instead of staying at the restaurant. Super understanding. read more

Stopped in and split appetizers for dinner. Got pizza rolls which were deep fried egg rolls with pizza filling and pizza sauce to dip and crab dip with pretzels and tortilla chips. Egg rolls were "ok" and crab dip was "oily " and just "ok" Not sure I would try again. Upside our server was very nice and attentive and cold pints of beer were 3.75! read more

Came for dinner and had a great experience. Our waitress Jodie, was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the stacked mac for my dinner and she said it was one of her favorites and recommended I switch the buffalo sauce on the chicken to a honey bbq and it was a great choice. My only complaint was it came with a lot of mac and cheese and only 3 kinda small chicken pieces but it was still plenty of food to fill me up. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some other dishes. read more

WOW! I was impressed with the service and the food. Ali was the bar tender, this cat is awesome. It's nice to find someone who gives a damn about their craft and for the place they represent. I ordered the crab balls, which were small crab cakes and could a meal in themselves. Then I ordered the flank steak risotto, damn that was sooooo good! And cooked perfectly. I had to take some food to go, too much to eat. Oh and they have loyalty program, definitely coming back. :) read more

Amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the vibe and atmosphere from the second we walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything came out fresh and tasted amazing! Have gone back for a second time and will be going back many more. read more

I was surprised that me and my friends popped in here late night and the service was super quick and the staff was nice even for the place to be packed. The fried crab balls taste like heaven and I didn't want to share with my friends but I did. Next time I go, I'm ordering it for myself. However we sent the crab dip back because it didn't taste as good. The crab balls set the bar way too high. But the staff understood and took it off the bill. Also the stacked Mac tastes like comfort food heaven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The drink specials are cheap, the food is quality and the vibe very much gives Pittsburgh bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In town for the Phillies game and stopped by yesterday. Good beer and drink menu and nice food selection. One of the managers recommended Olearys as a breakfast spot the next day. Hit up the dive bar read more

Service was great but I got food poisoning the night after eating here.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also not a place to watch the Steelers play either - there was maybe 5 people there for the Steelers playoff game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice food, comfortable venue in an interesting location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Short rib tacos were flavorful and a good portion of. Mushroom swiss burger was messy but tasty. read more

Great food. Great choices on menu. Always deliver exactly what we order. Food is always fresh and delicious

The food was very good, amazing portions and prices. It's just classic American bar food but they have a ton of options so all type of eaters can find something here. The Greek salad was really good, I'm usually picky with my salads when I'm ordering out because it's usually a half assed salad but this one was really great. The service was very slow but there was only two workers during dinner rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was a typical casual bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks were alright not amazing. read more

Dive Bar and Grille in Southside is one of my neighborhood go to's. Service is quick and food is consistent. I usually get the Thai chicken wrap or ahi tuna wrap, both great options! My last time in I started and got a chicken sandwich. It was huge & messy to eat! I enjoyed it but not much can beat the ahi tuna wrap. I do feel like the tator tot portions are skimpy when they are subbed for a side. read more

Great for dinner with friends. Lots of seating, we didn't need a reservation for Friday evening even though we were a party of 5. Service was good throughout. I got a Amaro-rita, which was great and just tasted like a margarita. For food, I got the Thai chicken wrap with fries and it was delicious! Perfect portion sizes and everything came out promptly. The menu is big so can't wait to come back to try something else! read more

Stopped in yesterday intending to grab some lunch but our waiter (Kevin I think is his name) gave us the brunch menu too. We ended up both ordering brunch and WOW. I had the hangover sandwich and my husband had the corned beef hash bowl and everything was made perfectly. Kevin was the perfect kind of attentive where it's not annoying but you have everything you want and your drink is never empty. Won't hesitate to stop back. read more

Went here for a rehearsal dinner. Upstairs bar: lots of steps be careful!! Wings and chicken parm were great, people didn't really eat the brocolli and I thought the salad and vinaigrette were great but others didn't seem to want salad. Pasta was overcooked but the sauce was good. The artichoke dip was good but heavy. No one ate much of the hummos. Not a lot of service, the bartender was left alone upstairs to handle everything. We were gone by 9:30 but could have stayed longer. Food was take-away after 9 because we were clearing out. I think this place is probably hit or miss, based on the reviews, and I used to live near their original location in Lawrenceville. While nothing special, they did make some good wings. read more

Recommend going here during happy hour during 5-7pm Monday- Friday, cocktails are 7 bucks and the wine is 4! Appetizers were around 5 dollars each. As far as wings, they were about 7/10, a bit on the crunchier side than I preferred Highly recommend the NACHOS, worth every dollar Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Time to get food: 12 minutes read more

I kind of have a mixed opinion about this place. The food isn't bad, but I wouldn't consider it great either. I think they butter up their bread way too much for the sandwiches. It makes the sandwich kind of greasy, which isn't something I enjoy. I know others may though! So if you do, I would definitely recommend the sandwiches. They do have amazing sweet potato tater tots though. They serve them with a cinnamon butter that is fantastic too. I'd probably go back to eat them and just have beer. read more

Went to Dive Bar for the first time this past weekend. Have mixed reviews. When we walked in it took close to five minutes for somebody to acknowledge us even though there was a waitress chatting up a storm right next to us. Music was a tad too loud and intense for dinner time. All that aside, out waitress was very nice and food was delicious. I got the Alabama slammer burger I believe it was called and would get it again. I'd be willing to go back and try Dive Bar in the future. read more

Came to eat with my boyfriend after a Steelers game, [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the chicken poppers (tossed in honey sriracha) and mini mozz for appetizers.

I'd definitely return. read more

This is such an underrated restaurant in South Side! I've never heard of this place before and stumbled upon it in my search for restaurants in South Side. The food menu is quite big and is sure to have something for everyone. They do not take reservations but my group of 5 had no issues getting seated right away on a Friday night. I tried the ahi tuna wrap and the detox retox cocktail. Both were delicious! The wrap was way more flavorful than i expected and the sweet potato tots I got on the side with it were phenomenal. Everyone in my group loved what they got as well and we were all quite impressed with this place. Definitely will be coming back again! read more

They're not open when they say they should be. Spent 20 min finding a parking spot. Paid for 1.5 parking only to walk in and they say sorry we're not open. Hours on the website say 11:00am on Monday, we arrived at 11:30am. read more

First time here and I must say I really enjoyed this spot ! I had a couple of the fatheads beers, as well as the ahi tuna bites and Panko shrimp - all delicious ! There were so many other items on the menu that looked so good , I can't wait to come back and try them out . It was a Thursday night and they were pretty busy. Our waitress was super nice and attentive , she held down her busy section pretty well. My friend and I had a high top table beside the bar, and though it was super small , it was sufficient enough for some app plates and a couple of glasses. I plan on coming back soon! read more

I have visited Dive for the food and always had a good time. This review is for the outstanding social responsibility the restaurant has demonstrated through the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Dive partnered with several other organizations to make and donate over 350 Thanksgiving meals to seniors in Pittsburgh who were alone for the holiday. The pandemic climate has thrown most norms for a loop this year, and I can only imagine the challenge our seniors are facing as they extend their social distancing and quarantine precautions through the holiday season. I felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to volunteer alongside the Dive employees and others to make this happen, and that we were able to get it all done while staying safe. My reviews typically focus largely on the food, but I believe acts like this warrant recognition. This year has been hard on everyone, and restaurants have taken a particularly tragic hit. It must have taken a lot of scarce resources to prepare all of these meals and facilitate their donation to seniors. I would recommend Dive to anyone looking for some good takeout! You can get a great meal and feel good about supporting such a worthy business. read more

Great location in the heart of East Carson street. Good selection of beers on tap and has your typical bar food that you'd expect. I had the poutine fries and a sour melon cider and it was great. Service was also great, maybe even too good. Our waiter was very attentive and always checked in on us. Good time here read more

Got brunch last weekend. The breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, capicola (I think it was?) and the aioli was soooo good! The hash browns were tasty but I would've liked them crispier. My husband got the breakfast burrito with chorizo and it was amazing read more

What's for lunch ? (Monday: February 15, 2021) I got off of work early & thought... why not! Turkey Gouda melt with fries. The sandwich is sizable. The sandwich is made up of shaved turkey breast, bacon, smoked gouda, sautéed shrooms, lettuce, tomato & sundried tomato aioli. Yum The fries are not crispy enough for me. I even asked for crispy fries. They were hot & fresh. Sometimes it beez like that! I have a few places that I frequent who do not produce crispy fries. This is one of them. So, I don't waste my time eating them. ‍ Bon appétit read more

I went here the others day with my dad this was the only restaurant we could find on Carson street that was open on Monday! I ordered the general Tsos cauliflower and a order of fries. The cauliflower dish was so good! I loved it. I haven't ate here in a while and it seemed that they have since changed up their menu. I was very pleased with my dinner. I've recently became a vegetarian so I was unsure if they were going to have many options here for me but I was surprised to see they had quite a few. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday with my cousin who had never been here and I think I converted him to a Fan. I ordered the Hangover which was Prosciutto, bacon, provolone, lettuce, tomato, pesto aioli and a fried egg on top. It came out on toasted, thin cut bread and looked delicious. It was a tad hard to eat as the bread didn't hold up well once the sandwich was fully assembled but the taste was delicious. The home made potato chips were a perfect side. My cousin ordered the Alabama Slammer burger which had a brown sugar glaze, bacon, cheddar, provolone topped with onion straws. He ordered the fries and a side of slaw. Judging from the fact that he didn't say a single word till that burger was fully engulfed in his digestive cavity, I would say he loved it. This is my 5th or 6th visit to this location and everything we have ever ordered has been delicious. Skip the busy section of Carson St and find this gem for Happy Hour- the specials are awesome! read more

Came for happy hour a few times and the deals are good! It is Monday - Friday 5-7pm and they also have late night happy hour on Saturday and Sunday from 9-11pm! The deals are $6 select apps, $5 house wines, $4 Stoli vodka & flavors and $2 off drafts. The menu is big with a lot of options for food and drinks. I was surprised that they had a cocktail menu, only because their name is Dive Bar. We loved the general tso's cauliflower! read more

I would not expect a place named Dive Bar to have excellent food - boy was I wrong! We went for happy hour and while it was super busy and full of people it wasn't overly crowded with people jostling you and spilling your drinks (which I hate). They had tables where you could eat or hang out at the bar area -which had a couple of tables too so you could eat there too. The friendly waitress came over and told us their HH specials and came over with menus. We got our drinks and food order (she had great recommendations for us first timers) and they came quickly. Presentation was beautiful - food was tasty and service was great! Really enjoyed the Reuben rolls and the bacon wrapped dates! Enjoyed our time here and will be back :-) read more

I have frequented this establish many times. This was the only time I was disappointed in my meal. I ordered the Pittsburgh Cheesesteak and the waitress stated that it was an excellent choice! It made me excited for my meal! When my meal arrived, it looked great and everything I expected. However, upon first bite, I had to gnaw through the meat. There was gristle is just about every other bite and I ended up ripping apart my sandwich to remove the unwanted fat so I was not spitting it out. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. Their seasonal cocktails were subpar with one person leaving most of his drink on the table upon leaving. On the plus side, their sweet potato tots with the cinnamon butter was excellent! read more

I have been to dive bar a handful of times now. This bar restaurant is clean and modern. The decor is nothing fancy but it's pretty comfortable. A friend and I just discovered that on Monday nights their special is half of burgers (with a purchase of an alcoholic or nonalcoholic drink). They have a great selection of burgers so we were excited for the deal. Their menu is huge so it can be a little overwhelming to try to decide what you want. They also have a great happy hour-half of appetizers! The staff is pretty friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some decent food and a drink. However, if you are just looking for an affordable drink there's a lot of other options on this street. read more

I was kind of excited to come here since I've never been. Have to be honest and say it was our 4-5th place to go because everything closed at 10 on this particular evening. Went in nice place, looked like a good menu, beers were good. Now the service and food a totally different story! Meals came out before the silverware and napkins...even after asking at least 3 times. Wasn't busy so shouldn't have been any confusion. Couldn't get a water if you were on fire, asked twice and had to go to bar since server forgot. Asked for sliders extra well done - came out as a chopped up patty (not sliders) medium well. Didn't eat them..server never asked if things were ok. Kept disappearing to who knows where. French fries were decent, wings seemed ok (friends got them). But had to ask for sauce 2-3 times. Missing the mark here on service mostly. Food not worth the lack in service. read more
