    The Jerk over Mac
    Thomas S.

    Pretty good portions. 1 order of the classics can easily serve 2-3. We ordered the jerk over mac and the oink over fries for pickup. Arrived and found parking on the street (if your familiar with NorthSide you know how parking is) and saw they had a selection of tea, I grabbed the FB Tea which is a sweet tea with fresh lemon. It was very refreshing, but unfortunately, for the pregnant ladies out there, it is not pasteurized. Food was hot and ready when we arrived as well! Staff were friendly!! I will say they should have a spice scale, cause the Jerk was pretty up there. We were not ready for that level of spicy lol. The oink was really good. I heard the cheese sauce was really good so we ordered two. It wasn't bad, but nothing we found ourselves wanting two of like Canes sauce or something. Definitely a place worth returning to, though, well skip the jerk next time lol

    The Oink with Mac & Cheese and Lemonade
    Courtney T.

    Fry Bar was everything I didn't know I needed! The hospitality of the owners; the cozy vibe of the restaurant, the outstanding freshly made drinks, & the explosion of flavors that erupt in your mouth; are just a few things that will keep you coming back. I tried The Oink with Mac & Cheese with a side of lemonade to wash it all down. I sat in awe as I savored every single bite. You literally could taste every flavor individually & collectively it equals divine! I'm sure I'll be a regular at the Fry Bar as there are so many more menu items I have to explore! Thank you Fry Bar for such a delightful visit! See you soon!!

    burger had a really unique seasoning and great flavor. House sauce was fabulous and would be good on anything. Loved the toasted bun!

    What a great new addition to the Northside! We're always looking for great local lunch spots and we found one. The owner is so warm, welcoming and friendly. She explained the menu and checked multiple times to make sure we were ok. Great service! Old Bay homemade chips were really good and I dont even really like potato chips. Mint cucumber drink was amazingly refreshing. My husband loved the jerk chicken fries. They were really hot for me but if you love spicy you'd love them. Super flavorful! Loved the burger! It had a really unique seasoning on it which gave it great flavor. The house sauce was fabulous and would be good on anything. Loved the toasted bun! So many great things on the menu that we want to go back and try. Going to tell others to go check it out.

    If you haven't tried Fry Bar yet, you're seriously missing out. Yes, the fries are awesome, but all of their creations are what really set them apart. Everything is homemade & I mean everything! From cheese sauce for Mac & cheese to in-house smoked meats and wings, this is an absolute gem. It's an unassuming spot in the North Side with very friendly owners and staff. I tried "The Oink" with fries, pulled pork, and homemade BBQ sauce. Absolutely killer!!! The portion is so big they serve it in a pizza box. I also had wings that were some of the best I've ever had. The lemonade and tea is to die for too!

    Load 'Em Up fries
    Tiffany Y.

    Fry Bar is a fast-casual restaurant that serves French fries, macaroni bowls, salads, wings, sandwiches, and non-alcoholic beverages. Please see my attached photos for the menu in February 2025. Fry Bar was on Yelp Pittsburgh's list of Black-owned businesses to try during Black History month. My husband and I ate one lunch here. The exterior of the building looked old, but the interior of the restaurant was nicely remodeled and had tables and chairs for dining in. Takeout and delivery were also available. Two employees promptly and courteously served us. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Load 'Em Up Fries - 4 stars - A medium-sized pizza box was filled with French fries that were topped with bacon and scallions. The serving size was so large that I had leftovers for two later meals at home. I really liked the French fries and the accompanying cups of cheese and sour cream. Pulled-pork Sammy - 4 stars - A fresh bun was filled with pulled pork, habanero BBQ sauce, and some coleslaw. The flavor was not too spicy and tasted very good. FB Mac and Cheez - 4 stars - This macaroni had a good amount of cheese and tasted very good. Sweetie Pie - 4 stars - A flaky pastry crust was filled with seasonal fruit, which I think was apples. Some cinnamon sugar was on the exterior, and on the side was a flavorful dip. FB Tea - 4 stars - I liked the flavor of this sweet tea. The label on the bottle said that the tea was not pasteurized. This meal cost $44 *plus* tax and tip.

    Wow. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but for whatever reason the fry theme in the name had me expecting a fast food kind of vibe. I could not have been more wrong. Loaded fries and wings both seem like pretty easy and straightforward kinds of dishes, but you can truly taste the amount of work that goes into the food here. From the fries themselves that are perfectly crispy, to the incredible flavor and texture of the cheese sauce, or the smoky flavor of the wings, I loved every single bite of my meal.

    The Oink, minus the cole slaw.

    Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. I got the Oink, minus the cole slaw and it was ok. If you like spicy, it's very hot. The portions were good though. Would maybe try a different one next time.

    This is a smaller establishment-- they offer take out but also have some indoor seating! The menu is larger than you'd think and has a range of selections for any eater. You start with a base (Mac n cheese or fries) then you top it!! I wanted something with some spice so I got the papa loco with a fry base. The service was friendly and helpful when trying to pick my first time-try. It's a quaint spot on Galveston and a short walk from western (and the breweries). It's a perfect spot to grab and go or grab a quick bite. Must try on the north side!

    Fries were delicious, seriously some of the best I've had. Reminds me of the kind my grandma would make by hand when I was a child, but better! Not too greasy and nice and crispy on the outside. It's a small seating area but everyone is so kind and it has a comfortable vibe. My only complaint is that after leaving, I smelled so greasy, I had to go home and change!

    Gretchen U.

    First off the tea and lemonade are great! So glad I went with the combo for both orders. Food was great, nice delicious sandwich! The sauce topped it off with a great taste. The service was excellent too, I came in early and happy to see the amazing extensive menu and seating for at least 20 people, great location too! Thanks again!

    Indoors at the Fry Bar....

    This Illy Philly was hungry....as usual....and wanted something new, and something different to eat so I headed to the Northside (Look at me...recognizing neighborhoods now...I feel like a real Pittsburghian) to see what was cooking.... I saw a new restaurant called the Fry Bar and headed in to see what they were 'frying up' (see what I did there?)... O.M.G!!!! It smelled so good when I walked in. I was greeted with a pleasant smile and a really nice menu when I walked in. The menu consisted of fresh made comfort foods... Emphasis on fresh. I talked with the owners and discovered that everything they make is from scratch and really freshly made to order. They don't freeze anything. This is epic because I love fresh food. I ordered the 'Da Dahntahn' because I'm vegan and the idea of fresh veggies, sautéed and seasoned, on top of a fresh salad with dressing made from scratch was appealing. I also ordered their FB Mac & Cheez, their creamy Slawz and a Mint Cucumber Lime drink to top it off. What can even say....this food was absolutely epic!!! You can really taste the freshness in everything! The veggies were phenomonal and seasoned well, and pairing it with the salad and dressing on top took it over the top. The dressing was delicous!!!! The Mac & Cheez was creamy with subtle and distinct taste of cheeses in their house cheese sauce. I don't know what's in it but it was so good going down and I love Cavatappi noodles when I eat Mac & Cheese so it was perfect. The coleslaw was the right dosage of creamy and is now one of my top favorites ( I can't wait to put it on top of a vegan burger!) The piece de resistance was the Cucumber Mint Lime drink. This was delicous. The right amounts of Cucumber, mint and lime. It was like heaven in my mouth. Overall the Fry Bar is definitely a great place to get some beautifully crafted foods, made from scratch with the freshest ingredients, that will make your palate scream for more. Try them out and thank me later

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

    BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for
