Y'all. Yinz. Yes, I mean you (plural)…read more Stop what you're doing and change your dinner plans, because you need to meet your crew at this unassuming eatery with adult beverages. It may look like a hole-in-the-wall, but inside it's shabby chic (with the nicest bar bathroom I've seen in a while), and there's an outdoor space that can be re-arranged to host a group of almost any size. Plus, the music was speaking to me: it began with "99 Luftballons" and ended with "All the Small Things" from Blink-182 ("Work sucks / I know"). I met some girlfriends there on a Friday evening, and we split the Norwegian, vegetarian mezze, and Basque mussels platters. 1 per person seemed to be the right ratio, and everyone had enough to eat from the finger-licking variety. We enjoyed our meal while watching / listening to / feeling the rumble from the freight trains passing beneath us and across the railroad bridge over the river. (#ThatsSoPGH) The proprietess is a chef first and foremost, but the cocktails are hardly second rate. I really want to give a shout-out to the hard-working bartender! Although the margarita was mostly grapefruit juice, the whiskey sour was delicious, and the old fashioned was just different enough to be interesting. Beware! When the menu says the Oaxaca Sunset is spicy, they mean it! (It was too spicy for me.) To top it all off, after the sun had set, while we were trying to decide whether to wrap things up, a wild raccoon crested the hill and looked confusedly at all of us humans, as if to say, "Scram! It's my turn to eat!" Our little group paid up and left, at any rate, with plans to come back.

To our surprise after eating there, we find it on every must do list for new restaurants in Pittsburgh. Nestled in the heart of export right off the Westmoreland Heritage Trail... hence the name... Masters brings life back into the already up and coming foodie scene of Export! A large parking lot accommodates all the local patrons and on a beautiful night affords you to walk around the entire building taking in the train displays and trail views. Masters has a large raised front porch with outdoor seating and live entertainment. We came on a Friday night, so the place was packed... but we were able to sit immediately at the bar. The menu is limited with options, but not at all lacking on flavors. From the hostess, to our waitress, to the full friendly cast of employees... everyone shared suggestions and raved about different aspects of every dish. We ordered the: - Fried Brussel Sprouts: large portion and a maple-bacon vinaigrette that you'll want to bottle up to-go - Meat and Potatoes: a simple name but an elaborate dish!! Crispy, tender potato rounds with an elaborate pairing of short rib, pickled onion, and house radish that taps into every tastebud along the way - Bruschetta Chicken: pounded and crisp breading on a cutlet like a true chef with such a fresh tomato topping - Limoncello Tiramisu: pillowy soft and clearly homemade with a good soak of limoncello and a balanced cream for the most refreshing summer dessert. Not sure why I haven't had creative tiramisu options before, but step aside espresso... tiramisu tastes good with other soaks too!! The restaurant is gorgeous. The staff is phenomenal. The vibe fits small town and romantic dinner all in one! We will be back again and again... no doubt!!

There were a few vegetable forward options on the menu (but only a few). Even so, the vegetables were fresh and the food was generally good. In any case, I can absolutely see myself stopping by on a regular basis. This place had a really good vibe.

In fact I'm told by the bartender that The Coalmine in nearby Castle Shannon now has the original Bobby's fish sandwich recipe. The menu is very limited bar food. Burgers, dogs, wings, fries. I ordered a chilli cheese dog and buffalo wings. The dog was so boring - canned chili and fake cheese. The wings took forever 40+ min and seemed like they were boiled or baked rather than fried.

In this case, a *giant* smoker is just outside the front door, and man oh man, is it loaded with yumminess --- ribs, chicken, brisket. (Faint!) The place, originally opening in the 1890's (!!), is a real throwback, despite their having to rebuild sometime ago after a bad flood. The current owners - with their families - are some serious hard workers, and the output is just terrific. One of the owners waited on us, a charming Pittsburgher (not sure if it was Chad or Nick) who has an infectious passion for both good beer and his fine food. I got the recommended oatmeal stout which I really enjoyed - smooth, nutty, flavorful. My husband enjoyed his wheat beer. Both of these from the fairly extensive draft list. The food is the real star, tho. Our foursome started with fried green tomatoes - a nice crunch with a good, lightly spicy wing-style sauce. AND ---- the favorite of all of us: smoked chicken wings. MOMMA. These are a signature item for good reason. Order a 1/2 dozen or dozen. They are on the medium side, plump and juicy, with a tasty dust. Perfectly cooked. Apparently they start smoking them in the morning! Dreamy! The owner brought us some fabulous sauces, along with homemade blue cheese dressing, for dipping. The highly-popular "Moonshine" bbq sauce was our fave, hands down. The House sauce was a bit plain but good. The 1/2 n 1/2 - with House sauce and (I think) Carolina BBQ sauce was good. Next time, I'll try their habanero bbq sauce - I think they call it "Hot Hooves." My friend & I split the pulled smoked chicken sammie with a side of really good, home made collard greens. The greens were quite good - not bitter at all - high praise from this Southern gal! The sandwich was great - with chunky bits of smoked chicken, but honestly - you could just eat those fab smoked wings! My husband enjoyed his brisket sandwich. I'm not a big red meat girl, so I can't speak to the flavor. My sister in law got a straaaaange experience -- the gigantic pretzel with 2 smoked meats (pork & chicken) accompanied by a side of Mac & cheese. She wanted to have leftovers, and boy did she get her wish! Yikes. Too weird for me. They have a small outdoor space at the back. We enjoyed the front section with the giant bar. There's also more seating in the back. They have special nights for their delicious food---- those fab wings are super cheap on Tuesday; cheaper meat platters on Wednesdays; & Saturdays are cheap tacos ---- the place was once a taco/Mexican restaurant, apparently. We will most definitely be back!!!
