We love peppi's. Fresh and made to order, we had the steak egg and cheese. Reasonably priced and has an old school vibe. Reminds us of places on the board walk.

Coming from a Clevelander.....WOW. If I could just leave a review at just saying WOW... Very solid place to grab lunch. All I can recommend is the #7 Rothlesburger. Place is almost like a diner and has a ton of personality and history. Any sub I've had here has been great but I keep going back to the #7. I usually eat one there and take one for the road back to Cleveland. Guys behind the counter giving and taking shots at Cleveland and that's what makes it fun. This place will always be my go to when I leave the Burg and head home.

I would describe Peppi's sandwiches as subway just cheaper, much better, and more options. The employees are all incredibly friendly, and despite being alone made it feel like I was out to lunch with some friends. When it comes to the food itself the sandwich was awesome too. Everything from the bread to the meat and toppings was all delicious with balanced amounts(I find a lot of places just load it up with things like lettuce). The cheese was perfectly melted too and just an overall great experience for a quick lunch stop. I'll definitely be back to try some more of their signature items like their cheesesteaks.

Very unique Roethlisberger sandwich... The BREAD amazing!!! ... soooo chewy and crunchy it's perfect ... the sandwich gives a cheeseburger vibe but with sausage in it !!! Very unique.. also got the fries with the Cajun seasoning .. and NO the Cajun seasoning is not salty which I absolutely loved!! Service is fast and friendly !!... will definitely be back if I make it back to Pittsburgh in the near future!!

Always awesome! Thanks Lou, great visit, as always good seeing you ant the Peppi's Team in the Strip.

Cheese steak
Rumi L.

Great sandwiches. The prices are super fair and the sandwiches themselves are great. Loved the cheese steak and the joey porta bella was great. It mutt seem like an odd combination having horseradish in a cheese steak but it works so well. The staff was also super nice and welcoming, cracking jokes the whole time. Fair warning if you don't finish your sandwich they'll wrap it up for you but they'll also ring a bell announcing to everyone that "we've got a quitter!" Haha so best to finish that sandwich!

The Rothlisburger (aka #7)

Peppi's is a classic institution in Pittsburgh. You want a true hogie...go to Peppi's. This location is small and it's constantly busy. You can dine in or order to go and they also offer pick-up. Go with a classic like the "cathedral" - ham, turkey, bacon and provolone cheese (get it warm for an extra kick). They also serve the classic Pittsburgh salad, with shaved beef and french fries on lettuce. I had more than one person eyeing my salad! Located in the heart of the strip district - there is only street parking available and it can be a challenge.

The Roethlis"burger
Stephen G.

A strip district staple and a classic place to get a sub. Food (3/5): It is hard to beat a loaded up sub on a Mancini's bun. With Mancini's right next door, the buns are always fresh. That is probably the best part of the sub these days. The loaded up part falls short, however, which is a shame. I ordered the #7 Roethlis"burger. The sausage and beef combination is a blend of flavor and textures. The egg and American cheese are nice complements. Service (5/5): The guys working the counter and the grill are engaging and funny. It seems they enjoy being there and it adds to the environment. There is not service once you sit down but they will bring your food out and ask if you need anything else. Price (4/5): Most subs are around the $10-$12 range which is a good deal. You will pay that at Subway these days and these are much better than that.

Stopped here on NYE for lunch. Located in the strip district, unless you have a proper plan for parking, finding a spot may be tricky. We stay in the strip district so we walked. No real frills to this place - obviously a strictly focused attention to the food - outdated decor and discolored walls and decor means the food is going to be gas. Ordered a Pittsburgher and shared fries. It has been maybe 10 years? since I've ordered a cheeseburger sub? Worth the wait bc this one was great. Ordered mine with grilled onions, LT, and chipotle mayo for an extra kick. They had a line but still only took 10 minutes to come out. Fries are boardwalk style - peanut oil with that trust cut look. Would recommend here every time. Very good.

Courtney E.

This was on the list of things to try and so we did. I think the sub I chose was my first mistake and really wish I would've gotten the pittsburgher instead got the classic cheese steak figuring I couldn't go wrong any way. Nothing too much to report negatively, all went smooth - ordered, drinks, etc. and ate and left. I think my steak sub was good - almost though like it was missing something for this condiment queen. I would've put mayo on this like a comforter on a bed. Fries were good and I always like little places that have so much reputation. Will recommend. Although, I think people already know.

See Dee B.

The food tastes good but they should be called Breadgie. They are dominated by the bun with barely any meat. The shrinkflation that has taken place here is a shame. Last time for me.

Lauren W.

Casual dive sandwich spot. Service is great here, very energized. Definitely grimy in there, but if you can get past that the sandwiches are great. Ordered a steak sandwich with blazin sauce and cajun seasoning with hot peppers. Flavor was fantastic. Will come back.

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

Fun little place with good atmosphere and great food! Leah was fun and really helpful with picking…read moresome great food choices. I went with the recommendation of the wings and got the Cajun seasoning. They were so good that I regretted asking for blue cheese for dipping. Then I added a side of Brussels sprouts and no hyperbole; these were the best I've ever had! I practically licked the bowl after.

Great food! Awesome service and the ambiance is best described as the neighborhood's common ground…read morewhere everyone knows everyone. The tartare provides the perfect balance of fresh and savory. Pistachio cake dessert is a must try.

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.

They wanted to join our table with two other others to accommodate a larger party. I was a bit annoyed, but we complied.

The French onion soup was a banger. Very savory and salty, nice layer of cheese on top, and plenty of cooked onions. They hit and did not miss. The entrée was good - gnocchi with sliced chicken atop a sort of corn elote / chowder / cojito confection. The gnocchi were stuffed with asiago, but I tasted more corn flavor than any asiago. I'd say, for the price of the food (and wasn't cheap), it wasn't out of this world flavor-wise. But the vibes were cool and the cocktails looked interesting. I'd cone here again to try another dish.

Nowhere to sit, every single table was full. When a party finally left we snagged the dirty table that was never cleaned while we were there. We tried to get food from Mijo but were told before we ordered it would be a ln hour wait for food. We had the time but wasn't sure we wanted to wait that long. We grabbed a couple beers from the bar and the wait wasn't long. The bartender was not terribly pleasant, but he was buried and there were some other patrons that were not being patient or kind. It is REALLY loud - as expected, concrete floors, wood tables and metal chairs, high ceilings and nothing to dampen the sound. All of that said - it's a great space. All the food we saw looked great and we Will definitely be back at some point.

We went there after being discouraged at another bar on Carson Street. We were not that hungry,…read moreso, upon our waitress' recommendation, we tried a pepperoni pizza, thinking that we could order more if it proved to not be enough. It was probably the best pepperoni pizza I have ever had. The high point of the evening, was our waitress. I wish I knew her name. She was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. She treated two old people just like we were 30. One caveat though. The steaks on stones looked and smelled delicious, but the prices might be a bit high. It depends on how much you enjoy steak, I think. If you are a steak eater, I'm pretty sure you will be happy. Maybe we can find out next trip.

My wife and I were really looking forward to trying North Shore Tavern after seeing it on TikTok,…read morebut unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. We came in after 9 PM and waited about 20 minutes without ever receiving water or having our order taken. Our server did acknowledge us at one point and mentioned that she had two other tables ahead of us, which we completely understood. However, we later noticed another table that was seated after us being helped before we were. Meanwhile, no one came back to check on us or even bring us water. We also asked the host if someone could help us, but were told she couldn't because she wasn't a server and that our server would eventually get to us. After waiting that long with no service, my wife and I decided to leave. We were genuinely excited to eat here, so it was disappointing to walk out without even getting the opportunity to try the food. I understand restaurants can get busy, especially later in the evening, but even a quick check-in, some water, or better communication would have made a big difference.
