But when you're downtown on a lunch break or just exploring, running errands, whatever, it's a quick and inexpensive way to eat something that tastes decent. It's one of those things that we love seeing in places like NYC or Chicago so why not the 'burgh too? Grabbed a hot dog with ketchup only and chips. Hot dog was cooked properly, it was warm and it filled me up.

I got the classic - white & yellow American cheese on wheat with a killer cream spread and of course, tomato soup to dip in! Perfect lunch on a late summer/early fall day! Very reasonably priced - $6 for the sandwich, bag of chips & a bottle of water. Definitely worth checking out if they are parked near you!

I got the number 1 grilled cheese with the sour cream on the side ... and a side of spinach parmesan ball with sriracha sauce. My grilled cheese was gooey melted strands of cheese with onions and bacon ... and with the sour cream .. it was like a loaded bake potato sandwich. I shared my spinach balls and everyone enjoyed them. I am hoping they park in front of my employer this summer.

The weather was just too perfect to not go back. I switched it up and got the signature menu item for the first time. It's incredible and something I know I will certainly be craving. The Shady Dog is a favorite for a reason.

This place has the VERY BEST egg rolls in PGH. There's at least 6 full size shrimp in each, but I only started counting when I was half way through.

I can speak on the rest of their menu, most of which I have tried, but I'm focusing on EGG ROLLS now... OMG, I would drive a half hour for these...! YUMMY...!!!

The chicken was fresh off of the grill and you can either ad sriracha or barbecue sauce on it (I went with sriracha) and it was outstanding! The owners are very nice and the service was super quick! Definitely check them out

Roadrunner Hot Dawgs & Catering did an excellent job supporting our National event…read more They provided great food - dogs, cheeseburgers, Kielbasa and hot links at our car show. The Lemonade was especially well received. The friendly service that was provided to our group was really appreciated. The team arrived in a timely manner and were setup and ready to serve the members of our group. On several days they extended their service to make sure everyone was well fed. We would definitely recommend Roadrunner Hot Dawgs to anyone. Falcon Club of America

My husband said the hot dog and kielbasa were nothing special but I loved my cheeseburger. Its a bit messy because the cheese they use is actually nacho cheese. Sounds gross but it was really good and worked and you really can't beat the price.

We popped in on a rainy day and got two drinks and pretzels. What a delightful little place! I got…read morethe raspberry mocha and I have no other way to describe it than graeter's berry chocolate chip ice cream. I think we came at a kind of off time of day because the pretzels were cold and kind of hard, but they still tasted good and the dips were what we expected. I'd suggest making a trip towards the beginning of the day!

Amazing pretzels!!!…read more Super friendly and polite customer service with warm, comforting pretzels and the most amazing dips ever. In addition to being organic and vegan I also appreciate the fact that they aren't too salty like many other soft pretzels are. These pretzels also reheat well in the toaster oven which is great when you are already stuffed but want to take a pretzel to go. I especially recommend the cinnamon butter dip which has a very unique flavor. I've never had anything like it. It is reminiscent of cinnamon ice cream in texture and flavor without actually being cold or too sweet. You also don't mind using a lot of it as it is light and fluffy in mouthfeel.  They must never take the tasty cinnamon butter away!!! They also have a tasty mustard dip which is a condiment I often recommend to people as a Dietitian due to its many health benefits. As the only local pretzel place in Pittsburgh to serve both organic and vegan pretzels this is the *perfect* vendor to any local party you are having - particularly events that have the need to be vegan and/or organic as people become increasingly concerned with their health and the environment. I highly recommend contacting Connor today or ordering a pretzel from him if you see his pretzels at an event! :)

Gus and Yiayia's ("yiayia" is the Greek word for "grandmother") is a food cart that first opened in…read more1934 and is located in the Allegheny Commons Park. The food cart sells ice balls (which are similar to shaved ice or snow cones), popcorn, and peanuts. Gus and Yiayia's is famous in the local area, but today I visited them for the first-ever time. On a hot day, I had to wait in a line of other customers, but the employees quickly served the customers. As of September 2023, the ice balls cost $1.25 for a small, $2 for a medium, and $2.50 for a large. The popcorn costs $2, and the peanuts cost $1.50. Extremely inexpensive! Flavors for the ice balls include cherry, grape, orange, pineapple, root beer, blueberry, banana, lemon, lime, peach, watermelon, cotton candy, strawberry, and combinations. I ordered a medium-sized ice ball with the flavors of cherry and orange. The employees treated us nicely and had change in one-dollar bills. I believe that the medium size was 10 ounces. My husband and I really enjoyed the taste of the cherry and orange. I appreciated that the plastic cup was type-1 plastic and could be recycled in my community.

In addition to their ice balls, they offer peanuts and popcorn (their popcorn is so good!) I usually go on a hot summer day after taking a walk through the park. The cart is only open until 6 pm on most days so get there early. In addition to food, they now sell merch online! My favorite ice ball is a cherry and banana one. So good and refreshing. Definitely go check them out!

I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for them in the future. If you see them around the Burgh, make sure you stop by and try some of their delicious food!

I felt so bad for the girl taking orders because she was freezing! I will add this one on my list of food trucks I will come back for.

I stumbled across Mac & Gold at the Neighborhood Flea in the Strip. I knew of Mac & Gold by…read morereputation and am glad I got to visit during my final PGH hurrah. It is an easy and unequivocal rating of five stars. No doubts or hesitation. I ordered a side salad with ranch. The salad was baby greens, grape tomatoes, and some fantastic ranch. I also got one of their daily specials with asparagus, tomatoes, and spinach. The mac part is thick twisty noodles that are toothsome and satisfying. Their cheese sauce is thick, rich, and the best I've ever had. It is a smooth, well-bound consistency with no hint of the oily separation that plagues so many mac-n-cheese sauces. The asparagus was fresh, and a good balance of crisp and tender. The tomatoes were beautiful and flavorful smushed orange balls. It was a wonderful combination.

Our neighborhood had…read moresigned up a number of food trucks to come on Thursdays and this Thursday happened to be The Mac and Gold Truck. Since it's a food truck, there's not too much to say about it other than it's a nice yellow color that reminds you of cheese. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese while my wife went with the lobster Mac and cheese. There was maybe a 5 minute wait between ordering and our food being ready and afterwards we headed back to our house to eat. My buffalo Mac and cheese ended up being quite good as both the buffalo chicken and blue cheese added great flavor to the dish. However, as it should be, the Mac and cheese was the star. The pasta itself was cooked nicely and the cheese sauce had a great flavor to it. There was an ample amount of it too and which means that I was able to enjoy Each and every piece of pasta. My wife really enjoyed hers too and we were both pleased that the lobster wasn't exorbitantly priced. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our Mac and cheese and I would be interested in trying more of their flavors.
