    These shrimps were so tasty!
    L. W.

    Order their shrimp! It was so clean and fresh. By far the best breaded shrimp I've had in ages. The batter was clean and not too heavy. Didn't not fall apart the way it could. The salad was traditional Cesar and did not disappoint. The bartender was kind and lovely. Easy going vibe and was cozy and friendly! Great place

    Hot lobster salad
    Kristen E.

    Popular place for lunch or dinner in the Strip. We had a late Sunday lunch inside where it was cool on an unseasonably warm spring afternoon. (There is also outdoor seating.) I had the warm lobster salad, and hubby (who doesn't like seafood) had a chicken sandwich. Food was good--the chunks of lobster claw meat were impressive--and service was fine, but nothing particularly special.

    Very good food! I had lobster on a salad and a delicious mocktail. My daughter said hers was very good too!! When I'm back in Picks to visit her, I'll stop in again.

    Spicy crab chowder
    Art B.

    A quick and specific review for me. It's lent and while I'd love to have two fish sandwiches every Ash Wednesday and each Friday, that doesn't meet my fitness goals ;). So a great lunch alternative is the spicy crab chowder. Light, flavorful and full of crab. In addition, anyone that's been to the bar at Roland's knows that the staff is awesome (Johnnie, Tonya, Joey & Jeff...in no particular order) and the vibe is great. Solid beer list & excellent Bloody Marys. Worth a stop even outside of lent. Several other menu items worth the trip (my favorite - the hot lobster roll sliders) but this trip was focused on a light lunch.

    Love me some Geno!!!

    Diana might be the most awesome ambassador for everything Pittsburgh and Roland's. She had the best recommendations for food and alcohol, as well as, epic local color. Then the food and drink! Can't say enough about their Bloody Marys, chicken club and the lobster sliders! Bonanza of delicious food! Seriously, if you're in the Burgh, the Strip is a must and at least grab a drink here.

    A spoonful of the clam chowder will have you ordering your own bowl!
    Denise T.

    Located in the strip district so the short walk to restaurants lets you pass the shops and speak with the fellow 'Burgh neighbors out for the day. The clam chowder was bursting with flavor all its own! The mussels were on the smaller side and the flavor was at the bottom of the bucket. The lobster roll was packed with lobster but I needed more butter sauce to truly appreciate the goodness. The fish sandwich is huge but lots of breading but you will bite into flavorful fish past all the bread. The fries are crispy and truly homemade be sure to say bring out when ready so they are hot upon arrival. The service was friendly and knowledgeable of menu for suggestions although it was busy and longer wait times. The Resturant was engaged with patrons and had a lively atmosphere full of both locals and out of towners to enjoy a good meal.

    Roland's seafood grill was a lot better than we expected. We were craving seafood, lobster in particular, and Roland's had everything we wanted. It wasn't too pricy, the portion sizes were fair, and the flavors were great. The lobster nachos was way bigger than we expected that we gave up on finishing it and only finished the lobster meat. I personally really enjoyed the shrimp because it was just the right combo of tender and juicy. Service was also fast and they have plenty of seating - no reservations required.

    The food was good and well presented. The service was excellent and even made an effort to our request. The place was huge they have bar, 2nd floor, and outdoor seating, and can surely accommodate big groups. Jacqui, Jacky (not sure how to spell) but she's a rockstar and hope the first day turns out well.

    So much food, too bad it lacked flavor.
    Denise J.

    After reading the wonderful reviews while on vacation we decided to eat here. I was left confused and hungry. The menu is not big and straight to the point. They give a lot of food, A LOT! I ordered a side salad and it was the size of a regular salad. A cup of soup was a big bowl. I ordered the cajun shrimp and it had no flavor. The shrimp was not clean and you can see the black line AKA the poop on the shrimp while inside the batter, gross. The lobster roll was loaded with lobster but again had no flavor. The lobster bisque with the bread, the drinks, and the Caesar salad was best things I had. The customer service was fantastic and attentive. Literally all stars for our waiter, I wish I got her name. Clearly this is a local favorite, for a tourist who likes their food seasoned, you might want to skip.

    The Famous Hot Lobster Roll Sandwich
    John F.

    It pains me to give 3 stars, but I've had better experiences here. From the start, service was a bit scattered and unorganized, but our server was genuine. The best part of my meal was the Mancini bread for my lobster roll... that never disappoints. The lobster itself left a lot to be desired. Dry and rubbery, unfortunately. My fries were undercooked . Just not worth 30 dollars a roll.

    Lobster Roll Sliders
    Deah B.

    Monday lunch excursion to the strip district. We all ordered the lobster roll sliders. Drinks were filled timely. Sliders arrived hot and buttery. We would definitely get these again. Bathrooms were definitely used. The ambiance was bright on a cold winter.

    Lunch menu on a Sunday afternoon. Lobster nachos were great. They did not skimp on the lobster meat! Blackened fish tacos were a bit sweet? Not expected but tasty. Filet mignon sandwich was a very nice size. Service was great. Very attentive. Today's ambiance was dimites by the Steelers game which was ok for us. We enjoyed our time there.

    The lobster ravioli and Caesar salad were good. However, my Mom had one oyster from here and became ill with food poisoning. I know this is the risk you take when eating things that are raw, but there needs to be some type of better food handling and storage put in place.

Basically, every year her gift to me would be steak dinner at Eddie V's. Also, don't worry, they have plenty of things on the menu for her. This is a "big box" establishment that follows the formula.

It's got old-school, romantic decor vibes. Quite often you can expect live music (pianist, jazz, and so on). The service is exceptional. The food is amazing. Everything is cooked to perfection. Seasoned perfectly and if I am being honest, I never leave any food behind on my plate. They have a nice selection of drinks including mocktails. In a world of big-box, they stand out.

Each individual restaurants (there are 5 I believe) offer everything from Mexican food, to American fare like burgers, to fried chicken, salads, fish etc. I ordered from the fried chicken stall and my food was phenomenal! Freshly made to order, nothing staged or sitting under a heat lamp. The bartenders were awesome and cheery. My son was with us and even though there is alcohol served here all of the patrons were kind and polite. No drunken riff raff. The dining area is set up like cafeteria seating where you just grab a table anywhere and eat. There are waiters who will also bring food/drinks to you and collect your dishes after you are done. The restrooms were also clean and well maintained. This is a great family friendly place or if a group of friends wanna hang out have a few drinks and chat. There's food options for everyone here, so you're not stuck picking 1 restaurant where everyone in your group might not want to eat the same thing.. I will definitely be back!

I went there with a small group of families/kids after an outing at the Children's Museum; it was great to be able to walk over to an easy lunch that was better than the museum cafe. We'd probably come back just for this convenience. But I can also see how Federal Galley could have a sports bar feel when a Bucco or Steeler game is going on nearby. That said, the food was just ok. Portions were huge, but the dishes were kind of basic with a ton of sauciness/goopiness. My burrito from Mijo had a ton of chicken but not much in terms of beans and rice and no veggies or garnishes. My wife got a huevos rancheros bowl that just had mountains of sauce; it filled her up, made her very thirsty, and made a huge mess. The kids cheese burger and fries from Triple S was just fine for my daughter but, again, basic.

I ordered the grilled branzino and appreciated the instructions on how to tackle a whole fish. The dulse butter was interesting but a little too overpowering for me, and the vegetable side was a bit underwhelming. My husband enjoyed his roast half chicken and gave it good marks.

Nestled throughout the nooks and crannies of the lounge are an interesting array of Nordic themed things to admire. I ordered the chicken for my entree and it was definitely not boring. It had a thick and flavorful glaze all over it and they incorporated lingonberry. Lingonberry is a theme throughout the menu. I also enjoyed a refreshing lingonberry mocktail to add another element of that flavor. Overall, a very nice restaurant in Pittsburgh worthy of a night out.
