Classic hometown grill. Plate lunch weekly specials, breakfast plates all are scrumptious . LOVE their pancakes and or French Toast. Great service too! read more

The only reason this restaurant earned 2 stars is because the service was excellent. Without that, it would've been a 1 star experience. The food itself tasted good, but the portion size was shockingly small for the price. I didn't order a kids' meal, yet the amount of food I received looked like one--and I'm someone who doesn't even eat a lot. I was still hungry afterward. I paid over $20 for this meal, and it simply wasn't worth it. I ate at two other restaurants this week, spent less than $20 at each, and the food there was far better and portions larger and absolutely worth every penny. ( I ordered the combination platter which consisted of catfish, shrimp and sweet potato fries.) I guess they were rationing food the evening I placed an order for pickup. read more

Pitt Grill Restaurant - American Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

Nothing fancy, just great food-diner style! The service at this restaurant is impeccable and the food is awesome. Although it's pretty hard to mess up breakfast, but you can tell this food was cooked by true southerners- with lots of love! Pro Tip: All the servers were helpful and friendly, but make sure to ask for Sandra. If you don't fall in love with her southern charm and willingness to make your experience a happy one, then you're the problem, my friend. Two toes-two thumbs waaaay up for Pit Grill! Happy eating, my foodies! read more

Pitt Grill is your typical early morning greasy spoon. Mostly breakfast menu, but they do have lunch and dinner, considering that they are open 24 hours. The food is basic, but tasty, nothing sophisticated, just good comfort food. Much better than corporate breakfast restaurants. The decor is basic diner, and there are a lot of signs up that would seem to be discouraging, but I am presuming the only reason they are there is because they have had problems with people offending things there before. My recommendation is either the Colorado omelette or the Philly cheesesteak omelette. Full of meat and tasty and comes with a stack of three pancakes. Another good choice is the cake and eggs, where you get eggs your way, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and either hashbrowns or grits . If you walk away, hungry, it's your own darn fault. Their burgers are pretty good and they make a pretty decent Cuban sandwich as well. And the sweet potato fries are really tasty. (And if you want to have a little fun with the waitresses, ask for a cup of Joe rather than a cup of coffee. They apparently had never heard of the term there, and they may give you a funny look, but I'll bet they'll know that I put you up to it!) read more

Had Breakfast/Brunch. We got seated on about 5 minutes; about 10 minutes later took our order. It was 30 minutes before we got our order. I ordered Eggs Benedict was very disappointed yolks we're cooked hard. I love Eggs Benedict but I won't go back. Wasn't waitresses fault but the cook was definitely not good or knowledgeable on Eggs Benedict!! read more

An old fashioned Diner, the type that I like to frequent when I'm traveling. But this place is far from "charming". While the food was decent, the Service and atmosphere were far from stellar. read more

Stuck in Alexandria and the hotel recommended this place. This hit a home run. As all places in LA is slow but kind. I had the chicken and waffle and a side of hash browns. Mmm sign me up for more if I ever come back. It's a hole in the wall but good food non the less read more

Pure old-style middle-American culinary gold right here. My new must-visit spot whenever I'm in Alexandria. That cook runs the kitchen like a BOSS. read more

Everything! Food was great. The only thing you wouldn't like about this place, is something you should love about it. And that's the amount of time it took to bring this delicious plate to my table. read more

Pitt Grill Restaurant - Butter Pecan Waffle - American Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

Full disclosure, this is a diner, type restaurant, not fine dining. If you're a high maintenance type person and have to have everything just so, maybe this place is not for you. Now let's get down to business. I've been there several times and have never been disappointed. All of my visits have been during breakfast hours. I've always had good service and some of the best coffee that I've ever tasted. I've had a few of the breakfast offerings, but they usually hover around eggs, omelettes, pancakes, breakfast meats, etc. All good. They don't have a lot of fancy signage on the outside, so you have to be on the lookout if you're gonna look it up. Other than that, if you like no nonsense, good food, I'd recommend giving it a shot. read more

I've been there many times and it's gotten worse and worse. Last time we waited one hour and only had 2 other people there to eat. Then a couple more tables came and when we saw they had all gotten their food and were leaving we asked where ours was and they said my chicken sandwich takes a long time to cook. What? Then we decided To try again today and same loud mouth cook was there and we got burnt bacon and undercooked onion rings while he ran his mouth the whole time. The waitress is good but she saw and she knew the bacon was burnt but it seems they are all afraid to say something to the cook. So I guess they give up good tips out of fear of making him recook something burnt or having him hurry up faster than one hour to cook a chicken sandwich and an egg plate. There was a roach on the wall last time also, and a woman taking a bath in the bathroom in the sink. read more

Restaurant was getting slammed. Got there about 9am Sunday morning a short line so we ate at the bar. Service was crazy as busy as it was. Friendly staff and good food. When we left the line was still there. read more

While traveling stopped in for quick bite on the road. Grandson and I had paddy melts and husband breakfast. All enjoyed. Service very nice.

One of, if not the oldest restaurant in Alexandria and for good reason. The food is always great and the service is fast and friendly.

This is my new hang out!!!! It may not be the must fancy place, but you have of hole in the walls that have the best food; well this place doesnt disappoint. I have had the biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon that is crispy with a side of french toast that was delicious. I have had a couple of different burgers on different occasions and both were grilled to perfection with seasoning. I have had several other items. I would definitely recommend this place to any one that is looking for good down home cooking. The service is very good as well and I know that it may sound funny but I love their sweet tea!!!! read more

To begin, if you're a neat freak, this isn't the place for you. However, if you like to feel like you're eating with family and friends surrounding you, this is perfect! There's no need for boring formalities since the staff is super relaxed and friendly, and the food is straight out of grandmas kitchen. I've never gotten anything dry, overcooked, undercooked, etc. There was only one time where I requested three eggs, yolk runny and ONE came out wrong. I didn't say anything, but the waitress noticed immediately, whisked it back to the kitchen, and made them remake the entire plate for me! LOL. Super friendly, down to earth people, and some of the most wonderful, hearty cooking CenLa has to offer. I'll never stop bragging about this place, I absolutely love it. If you're hungover and starving, all the better LOL. These people are AMAZING! read more

This place has been there for years and it is favorite of our when going to the airport in Alexandria. The staff is great and provide great service with a friendly smile. Our server today Alexandro was sweet and could not be nicer. I had a shrimp Po Boy which was prepared perfect with plenty of crispy shrimp crispy lettuce on a baguette and tartar sauce. I had onion rings perfectly prepared. My wife had pancakes and crispy bacon yummy our daughter had a patty melt no onions and fries. All was great. We will be back next trip to Deville to see our daughter and son n law and there dog Alice. Irwin Z read more

I'm upgrading my review to three stars due to the management reaching out to me and investigating my complaint and had a very good response. I may upgrade my review again if I go back and actually get to try the food and under an hour. Until then I'll leave it as a three but if the food is as good as the management cares then I'm sure I'll be upgrading my review. We have been here over an hour and still no food. Sad because this place is very empty. I now why. Waitress is half way trying but with 12 customers and 3 waitresses the cook needs help. Sad we drove over an hour to get supplies to fix storm damage and stopped for food and wish we had just gone home. This is ridiculous to wait this long for burgers, eggs, fries, waffle, and grill cheese. I'm giving it a 2 in the hopes the food is going to be good. After waiting over an hour and a half and watching several other folks get waited and feed who came in after us and ordered after us and my kids and I still haven't gotten our food we left. read more

Pitt Grill Restaurant - Out side dirty also - American Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

Comfort food, and lots of it. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt with our needs. Restaurant was clean!

Very mediocre food. Very dirty bathroom. Inexperienced server Some of these problems just happen, but the bathroom had lots of historical dirt. read more

Made a couple of stops in here about a year apart...Unless my thinking is wrong The Pitt is a local institution... Both time in I ordered up the Chicken Fried Steak with eggs sunny side up with hashbrowns...Both times have had outstanding service from the waitresses and an outstanding meal prepared by the cook... Coffee has been fresh, hot and tasty, the menu is reasonably priced and all in all it's a great little place to get a good filling meal ... If you find yourself on the north side of Alexandria and feeling hungry take it from me...Stop in and give this place a try, pretty sure you'll be pleased with the choice... read more

Blue cheese Bacon burger is my absolute favorite meal in town. Super chill place to eat locally owned.

It was a nice. I came in the morning of Black Friday and it wasn't as bad as I thought but the blonde ( and I mean BLONDE ) waitress that we had didn't know squat about the menu and she just kept going back and forth looking like a chicken with her head cut off. We told her three times we didn't want any drinks but she wouldn't take our order under we ordered them first so okay we ordered and I said to her I didn't want to bring any drinks out until all our food came and she said fine. Then the heifer bring out all the drinks so I was pretty pissed. The food took long and when I got it I wasn't happy at all I saw black men back there cooking so I thought I was good. MAN those eggs was soft and nasty as hell. The cheese they put on them were sliced cheese that wasn't even melted. The pancakes tasted so funny it messed up my appetite for the real food I purchased. Honestly the waiter was the worst part tough. She KEPT touching me. Calling me GIRL How rude and inappropriate. Yea I am younger than her but she is not one of my home girls. Do not talk to me as one either. Every person who came in there she knew but still didn't know the menu. Huum yeah okay. Well I wouldn't go back there Only good part is they are 24/7 They also have actual police officers who sit in there as security. Oh lord. read more

Disappointing. I read several great reviews and was determined to find this place so the family could try it out. With all the positive reviews, I just knew it was a great choice. If you're not looking carefully, you'll miss it. We walked in right at 3 o'clock. We were told to sit anywhere so we found a place and sat down. The waitress took our drink order and delivered our drinks really quickly. We looked over the menu, made our choices and waited patiently. We waited about 25 minutes and I started to wonder why our waitress had not come back to us. She was very attentive to the family sitting a few tables down from us and the gentleman that sat behind us. The place had maybe 10 -12 customers including us. I happened to see another waitress so I politely waved and asked if we could place our order. She informed me that she was off duty and that our waitress would be right with us. She pointed toward where I assumed our waitress was. We waited about 10 more minutes and left. Overall, the service was disappointing. The food, who's knows? The food looked good and smelled delicious but that's all I can say about it. read more

Poor customer service. Waitress messed up our omelette ordered. Took us one bite to realize it was the wrong omelette and we informed the waitress. She apologized and took the plate. She came back and said they were making another one and it would be out in a minute. 15 minutes later she came back with our ticket and said they won't make another omelette because "we ate it" and they won't remove the item from our ticket but gave us a $1.90 discount. Very disappointing. read more

Love the Pitt Grill. If you're like me and you love a delicious old school diner breakfast, then look no further. I've been going to Pitt Grill my entire life with my father, and it's always been great. Each time I return to Alexandria, I make sure to swing by for breakfast and it's always stellar. Friendly service and a classic diner environment with great food and coffee, perfect. read more

Got the Philly Cheese sandwich and sweet potato fries. The price was reasonable and the flavor in the sandwhich was decent. The sweet potato fries had a bit of an odd flavor. Anyways, my bill was brought pretty soon after I begun eating. Whatever, I put my card on the bill and it wasn't taken during the multiple times my waitress came to the table. When my card was taken and the receipt was brought back, the young waitress then said "I need you to sign this" and stood there waiting for me to sign and put a tip. Pretty odd - I've never had this occur before in all of my travels. I'm not sure if they have issues with people not signing their credit card receipts? Even though the food was okay, this sorta turned me off. I'm here for a month at the Best Western and probably will check out other restaurants. read more

Food was good the staff was friendly they were very attentive ate the biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs over medium eggs were perfect!

Pitt Grill Restaurant - Burger and boy - American Near Me - Alexandria, Louisiana

Pit grill is a small mom and pops location. From the outside it does not look to inviting. However, they have some of the best mom and pops food. I have eaten here twice and each time I was greeted very fast and service for drinks was fast. During busy times it can take a while for the food. The shrimp Basket was hot and fresh. The avocado burger was outstanding. There is nothing on the menu that is standard drive thru items except the drinks. You will definitely like the food and the prices. Good value, good service and good food. read more

Do not come with more than 4 people or with "larger" individuals.. Even when they are not busy they will not let you sit in large booth. Regular booths are very cramped. This has nothing to do with covid, it has to do with bad management. We will not be coming back after many years of eating here. read more

Total disaster! I ordered a fish plate and short stack of pancakes and ask for them to extra light! They brought out the fish that was battered in flour, my pancakes were super dark! And to top it off, I had a hair in my food! The waitress was kind enough to take it off our ticket! Also, the cooks kept wiping his face with his shirt and arm!!! Disgusting!!! read more

Pitt Grill is arguably the best restaurant (not chain) in Alexandria. I always get the patty melt and it's always the best, also the service is excellent whenever you go. I would always get the shake at the end because it will cap off your meal. read more

I just stood waiting on my food for 30 minutes. And this was 15 minutes after I called in my order. The manager proceeds to talk to everyone around me and does not even acknowledge that I'm standing there directly in front of her cash register. At least acknowledge I'm a person standing right in front of your face. read more

I'm usually a tough food critic but what I love is when you get fresh food! I had the burger with fresh cut fries (which is something that's hard to find in this town). Onion rings are thin but tasty. The bread on the burger is a sweet bun and is delicious. I'll be back for more! read more
