This was me and my husband's first time dining here, and I'm glad I chose this restaurant. Well, we dined here for my husband's Pre-Father's Day dinner. The inside of the restaurant is really nice, but we chose to dine outside. A nice bar outside, tables, and friendly faces to greet you. Mihaela was our server, and she was lovely. Very attentive, friendly, and went over and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our dinner. We started out with drinks and appetizers. I had a lemonade and tried the sangria white. I'm not a drinker, so I didn't drink it. I tasted it and didn't like it. My husband end up drinking it. He also ordered a beer. Next, I ordered for my appetizer the jumbo shrimp cocktail. My husband ordered the seafood scallop Benedict. I ate two of my jumbo shrimp. My husband ate some of my shrimp and all of his scallops. Than we moved on to the entree. I had the seafood Cobb salad, and my husband had a porterhouse steak with loaded mash potatoes. Everything was delicious. We were super full, so we packed the majority of our entree up, to take home. We didn't offer any dessert, but we blessed one of my husband's co worker for Father'a day. We purchased him the same entree and appetizer as my husband. He was definitely pleased as well. We will definitely be back to this restaurant. If you're not a steak lover, there are many entrees to choose from. Seafood, and other items. read more

Haven't eaten here in ages! It didn't disappoint. You know the steaks are good when the place is filled on a Monday night. Sean our waiter was spot on. Recommending add ons but not to the point of overselling. Our drinks were good. The salad I ordered was excellent and our steaks were perfect. The loaded mashed potatoes were outrageous! The space is comfortable and though it was crowded the noise level was fine. read more

Service was not very good, disjointed and unorganized. Perhaps they were too busy to be attentive elsewhere; long wait between courses. Just dropped the ball as the night progressed. We felt really ignored and unimportant. Appetizers of Mapple bacon and shrimp cocktail were well received. Suprizingly the steaks were just of average quality and somewhat undercooked. Aged Ribeye Steak was only just adequate. Not particularly special or flavorful. Cowboy Ribeye was better than the more expensive aged steaks...makes you wonder. Side dishes of hash browns, mashed potatoes and adparigas were very good. Deserts were like boring, bland premade stuff you can buy in the frozen foods section of a grocery store. They need to do better. Bathrooms were not clean and were slimy. At the end - The two hostesses "working" at the front podium were too busy texting on their phones to thank us for coming in, ignoring patrons. Sad. Rather go Downtown for PS Steakhouse or Manny's for much better service and food. read more

I had high hopes for my first time here. Boy was I let down. To start, I've been a butcher for 12 years and a manager for 3. I know my steaks well enough. We arrived and were seated in a few minutes, that was nice. The staff was nice enough, but seemed slow at helping even though where we were was not a busy section. The appetizers to start, we got the loaded potato, mac and cheese, and hash brown with bleu cheese. The mac was good, the potato was good but the hash brown was disappointing. Mains, we all ordered the cowboy ribeye. 1st was ordered medium rare and was delivered with no pink what-so-ever 2nd was done correct 3rd was ordered blue but delivered medium at BEST 4th was ordered medium rare but was delivered less than rare, still semi cold in the middle. 5th was ordered rare, delivered rare, but ordered with the bone marrow butter. They left the wax of the butter on the steak. We informed the staff and the answer was "oh, oops". 6th(mine) was ordered rare and came back medium at best. I was also given an absolute loin end. Understanding, yes, the loin end of a bone in ribeye is still a bone in ribeye but in my shop, I don't put those out in my counter let alone a "nice" steakhouse. At the end of us eating, my steak i ate maybe 4 bites but was very disappointed. The WA came over to take some plates or box up our food. I told him that i would like mine boxed. He stood by for 10 seconds before I looked back to him. He stared back at me before finally asking "oh wait you wanted me to box this?" It felt very unprofessional and again, for a 'nice' steakhouse, it felt inappropriate. For dessert, they did give us cheesecake that was delicious. That's the only reason I gave a 2 star. In my opinion, Appetizers 3/10 Steaks 1/10 Dessert 10/10 Ambiance 5/10 Service 3/10 I will not be going back. read more

Always a delight. Love the food. Great steaks! Mannys is still my go to, but this place is really really good!!

Five hostesses. One had the absolute worst attitude. Would rather sing along to the music than be positive with guests with reservations. Come here for my birthday every year. This will be the last visit. read more

My husband and I went Sunday evening. Wanted a usual quiet Sunday evening. We've been going there for years. Just a post holiday evening. The bar TVs were on super loud. I asked the manager to turn them down. He said no and wanted a sports vibe. There were only 2 other couples in the bar area. He just refused and was so rude. Our server Jacob was awesome. We had already ordered our food, so we were stuck. We went to the dining room. It was very bright, no dimmers evidently. Loud. It was a bad experience and looking back I think we should have just left, food or not. read more

Called to place a to go order at 5:50pm. Spoke with Lily to place the order, she said it'd be ready in 25 min. My husband goes in to pick up and pay. Bartender said he couldn't find the order, asked if we called the right location, my husband said his wife spoke with Lily. Yes Lily works the front desk. She never gave the kitchen our order. Offered him a free ginger ale for the inconvenience and said he'd get the kitchen to rush the new order. Really a free ginger ale, wow. Ground breaking. The least he could do is speak to a manager and offer a 10% discount or a free dessert since it was New Year's Eve. Food was delicious as usual but service could be better. read more

Holy yum! We went for an an anniversary dinner. The food was spectacular. The environment was busy and loud. The server was on top of things, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The bathrooms were in need of some attention. When we arrived, we had reservations and we were greeted by the host who seemed frazzled. After we checked in, she didn't say anything. We didn't know if we were waiting to follow someone to our table, if there was a wait, if we should move aside or continue to wait for her to address us. It was super awkward and didn't start the night off right. Thankfully our server was amazing. I wish I remembered his name. He was so helpful with wine selection and food recommendations! He totally turned our bad start around. We ordered the blu hash browns, the mushrooms and some steaks. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted to die for. Highly recommend the blu hash browns! They've got a little bite to them (Tabasco). The bathrooms were pretty gross. Water (I hope!) on the floor and only one working stall. Constant line and almost no paper towels. It could certainly use some attention. We also got the banana pudding for dessert to go, and it was delicious! Definitely worth the calories! Overall, we would go back. Service staff have been severely understaffed and or there's tons of new people in restaurants so we won't hold it against them, the food more than made up for it. read more

Sat at the bar. Got the onion rings appetizer and an OF. The old fashion was a little sweet for my liking. We didn't have dinner but based on the looks of the food all around us everything looked amazing. Some of the best onion rings I've ever had. Bar was lowkey and we walked right in and sat down during peek dinner hours. Will definitely be back for the onion rings and hopefully dinner read more

Ok, not sure if I have the Pittsburgh Blue curse. I go to this restaurant on a regular basis (last 8 months been there 7 times) for work/business dinner. Every time I order "medium rare" my steak always comes out medium ! There was a time I had to send the steak back 3 times! and it was still not he correct temperature. The problem is that every time they re-grill a steak for me they rush it and instead of getting a nice crust I get a BURNT CRUST ! It's become sort of an internal joke among co workers every time we go if I'm gonna get me steak done right. Nice place but unfortunately for me it has not been good. read more

Great food, drinks. and service. Great selection of wines and liquors. I fancy an old fashioned and theirs are excellent. Our go to place for family birthdays! read more

The quality of food there is amazing! I ordered the sea scallops Benedict as an appetizer it had applewood-smoked bacon, hollandaise, brioche bread. For dinner I had the blue cheese crusted fillet medium rare it was delicious. For my cocktail I ordered an espresso martini by far one of my favorite places for espresso martinis. My server was amazing and very attentive with awesome recommendations read more

The salt is killing me even the next day. I'm swelled up like a Macy's Parade balloon. Pittsburgh Blue, owned by the Parasole Restaurant Group of Edina, is a cousin of downtown's Manny's, a venerable steakhouse pretending to be an independent stalwart of the Minneapolis downtown restaurant scene. Manny's is part of a chain. Only the name is different. Pittsburgh Blue is Manny's in sheep's clothing. Years ago, I thought Manny's went downhill. Now I know why. However, Pittsburgh Blue may be your only real dining option in Maple Grove, so those three stars are flexible. With a typical steakhouse decor, Pittsburgh Blue or Manny's Junior greets you with televisions, a dark bar, and checkered tablecloths. Gentlemen, all of a certain age, stand behind the bar to serve you. I had a weak cocktail and my wife ordered a decent Chardonnay. The wedges were large with chunks of blue cheese. In the middle of my enjoyment of the salad, here came our entrees. Annoyed, I sent my prime rib back until I was finished with my salad. It was too rare for Medium anyway. When returned, that prime rib had more salt than the Dead Sea. I couldn't taste any meat. Any cow was overpowered by salt. I almost keeled over and my head aches today from that sodium overload. My wife wanted desserts to go, and the pecan pie was good. Our bill was expensive. Maple Grove is the king of strip malls and chains. It's corporate heaven in so many ways. There isn't much choice for independent dining. Thus, Pittsburgh Blue/Manny's Junior, may be the only decent choice. read more

It's a chain and it is kind of stuck between being a mid-tier steakhouse and top tier. And I say that because there are a lot of steaks around $50-$60 à la carte, as opposed to starting at $80. Although by the time you add in sides and drinks and an appetizer and dessert, you're looking at over $200 for dinner for two. I thought the wait staff was friendly and professional. I thought the food was good, especially for a suburban steak house next to Trader Joe's. I wouldn't call it gourmet, but sometimes hearty and flavorful is what you want. The night we went they had a crab ceviche appetizer that was exceptional. It wasn't packed by any means, but everything did feel a bit rushed. I don't mind that. Sometimes efficient is good! But I'd suggest if you're looking for a leisurely dining experience with colleagues or friends then don't put your entree order in at the same time as your appetizer because it will come out minutes later. read more

We stopped in after going to another local place and being disappointed with their lack of options. We were not disappointed here! While being a steakhouse, and we look forward to returning and trying their steaks, we just wanted something to tide us over. I ordered the Mahi tacos, and the wife ordered the Buffalo Shrimp. The shrimp were HUGE! And while the sauce was a bit hot, my wife loved them! Me, on the other hand, I love the heat! The Mahi tacos were surprisingly PERFECT!!! I don't expect much from Midwestern restaurants and Mahi tacos, but these were AWESOME! Blackened Cajun style with blue corn tortillas, cabbage, and a great sauce, they were cooked to perfection! Did I mention they were the special and only $10 for two tacos!!! PERFECT! We will definitely return for dinner sometime and check out the steaks!! Did I mention the great bourbon selection? High prices notwithstanding! read more

No matter the location, Pittsburgh Blue does not disappoint. As long as my guest eat meat, this is one of the restaurants I recommend. My most favorite dish is the steak salad.

The ambiance is Located in a shopping center, there is plenty of parking. read more

My date and I dined at Pittsburgh Blue on a very busy Friday night. Without reservations, we managed to be seated at the bar. The bartender who waited on us was named Brianna. This review is about the great food, for sure, but also about the excellent service that Brianna provided. She was busy behind the bar, but she managed to treat us with patience and humor. She made us feel like we were the only people dining there that night. Our experience at the restaurant would have been positive regardless, but Brianna made it a special event just by treating us like we were special guests. Thank you, Brianna!!! read more

Had the Queen prime rib. Was paper thin and tough as hell! Our tab was well over 200$. Waiter saw the meal was not eaten but did not even ask how it was. I did not say anything, just disappointed. Still bothers me so decided to review. read more

This is my second time going to Pittsburgh Blue and it did not disappoint! We had a big party of 15 and the server handled it perfectly. She was witty and attentive. In addition to having their steak, I recommend the loaded mashed potato's, scallops, and cream corn!! read more

I was a little nervous when my family selected this restaurant to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday based on the recent Yelp reviews. Rest assured we left pleasantly surprised by our dining experience. Our table was ready when we arrived early for our reservation. Our server, Misty, was stellar; she was attentive, professional, and timely. They bring out frosted cups if you order a bottle of beer. Your entree is preceded by an order of fresh bread topped with something that tasted a bit garlicky but appeared green. I made a particular note that the top was crispy and the inside was soft, just like any good bread. All of our food was delicious. The table ordered a wild mushroom ravioli, pistachio crusted walleye, crab stuffed shrimp, and ribeye. We additionally ordered the a la carte sides loaded mashed potatoes (sour cream on the side) and green beans amandine. The walleye and raviolis were a tad butter heavy but that didn't ruin the dish. The wild mushroom raviolis came with a heaping amount of spinach and red bell peppers. This contrasts to previously written Yelp reviews where the vegetables with this dish appeared skimpy. The balsamic reduction over the raviolis was a must-have and completed the dish. I happily asked the staff to bag our leftovers and enjoyed them for lunch today. I would come back again! read more

We reserved a table for 5 to celebrate our best friend's 60th birthday with a memorable dinner. Pittsburgh Blue and their team did not disappoint! Matt (head chef), Travis (GM), and Peter, our favorite waiter, went way over the top to make the birthday girl feel like a queen. The service was extraordinary by Peter, the general manager, and even the head chef got involved in the spoiling and pampering. I believe we tried most of the appetizers, several entrees, and two desserts sharing family style. OH MY WORD! Every bite was perfectly prepared, unique recipes and flavors, HOLY COW! It was the epitome of the perfect restaurant experience. We will be back and will tell everybody where to go for a memorable evening, excellent service, and fine dining at its very best! read more

The place is to dark cant red the menu really !!! The ambiance is ok this place when it opened was top notch !!! As time has went on the the quality and the portions have suffererd !! Alot has to do i think with who you hire and who the chef is one thing and paying a quility experienced chef !! I have been disappointed the last 4-times i have been here !! I do not like cilantro on everything i eat which would tell you on the kind of help they hire !! Paying cheap help does nothing for the business !! I-have been the good is the bar tenders i don't sit at a table usally at the bar only with my wife after having several bad experiences with the taste of the food and portion size i dont know that i will be back !!! Oh and by the way i am a chef my self for some of the elite movie stars and movie shoots !! Enough said !! You get what you pay for in help i see how restaurants hire that cheap help and it comes back to bite ya !! Anyway i am done venting !! read more

Our experience was excellent! Service, food and ambiance were exceptional! Best prime rib we have had in a long time.

Food was good.... so don't get me wrong. BUT... we did have a little snafu with the temp on my Steak which came to me very rare. I ordered it medium rare. I waited for what seemed like 6-8 minutes to find our waiter, we finally flagged someone else to get some help. After sharing that my steak was just a little "under"....instead of happily putting it back on the Grill for 2 more minutes - one of the Chefs came out of the kitchen to reprimand me explaining that "this steak was cooked to our Medium Rare". Well PB - I didn't order it "Pittsburgh Blue" I ordered it Medium Rare. The other point is - it was kind of nuts the way this experience went - especially seeing it was our 50th Anniversary Dinner. Class up people and serve your customers with more respect. It's expensive and we are your guests. read more

Today was a GOOD DAY!! The ambiance here is always great!! Came a little early to beat the crowds. Service was wonderful, but it did help that there was only one other couple there on our side.. The server was super attentive and very thorough! Surf and turf was DELISH, served medium and the lobster was ON POINT!! Melt in your mouth meat and the taste was really good! Asparagus and as great, the grown up Mac was SO GOOD and creamy! The hash browns are always delish and never disappoints.. Well worth it today! read more

This was our first time here and we were celebrating a birthday. There was 11 of us in our party and they sat us in a semi private room. The wait staff was attentive immediately before all of us were even there! They allowed us plenty of time to socialize before placing our order. We ordered calamari, bourbon maple glazed bacon, thick cut onion rings and steakhouse wings for appetizers, all were fantastic. Dinners were-burger, fillets, walleye, salmon and stuffed crab. Portions were so big that many took to go containers. We had several side dishes and 7 of their desserts (also many going home) Desserts were so large one was easily enough to share. Temperature on all food was perfect. Again through out our entire meal the wait staff was always available. Definitely a place we'd go to again! read more

First time in and hopefully not the last. Had the bourbon maple glazed bacon as an app and it was unreal. Very tasty and meaty. Be careful as the mixture makes like a paste that my colleague had stuck in his teeth for a while I had the bone in cowboy ribeye and it was so good. Cooked perfectly and very tender. We had the hash brown casserole blue style, which has bacon, onions tabasco sauce and topped with blue cheese. It was to die for. I ate so much of it I couldn't finish my steak. Be warned, it's huge and can easily feed 5-6 guys. We were only 2 and didn't come close to finishing it, looked like we barely touched it. We added the asparagus with hollandaise sauce and they were good sauce was perfect. Excellent meal with excellent service. Highly recommend read more

I visited Pittsburgh Blue for a fun Friday lunch. My friend and I sat on the patio which has both high and low top tables with plenty of room, a nice outdoor bar, and some cute decorations. We were helped immediately by a friendly server. I ordered a glass of wine - the wine list lacking with only a few white and red options and the pricing is pretty high. I was in the mood for a sparkling, but decided to go with a Tempranillo since I didn't want to pay $15 for a glass of Prosecco. It was ok...I wasn't impressed but it was drinkable. It started to rain, so our server helped us to move inside and took our food order. I ordered the Caesar wrap with Parmesan fries and my friend ordered the lobster chowder and the prime rib. The Caesar wrap was good, but the Parmesan fries were the star. The lobster chowder was rich and flavorful, but we did find a shell in it. The prime rib serving was huge but it was cooked to perfection and served with a flavorful creamy horseradish sauce and au jus. Overall, it was a perfectly fine lunch with friendly, fast service. read more

The scallops Benedict were exceptional. Absolutely perfect. I had the Peer Pressure or of that ilk drink. Good. Spinach salad was perfect. The Oscar filet was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of asparagus and we split crème brûlée for dessert. Absolutely worth it. Server didn't make you feel rushed. Would go there again. read more

Serious size entrees, very good service level, a large options on the menu, and of course a high price as well. Our group enjoyed the time and most everyone went for the steak dish. We shared a lot of their side dishes family style and most everyone had draft beers. So, yes I don't see any reason to go below 4-stars. But can't give out 5 as it's just another nice steakhouse. I can't say anything was so different or special. Their steak was delicious and they claimed all meats have a 40+ day aging, and I'm sure they do. But it's really hard to tell unless you taste similar dishes side-by-side with other kitchens!!! read more
