My meal was okay. I have a feeling that I maybe didn't order what they are known for. I had a burger and it lacked flavor. The soups sound good, but I did not have soup nor was I told what the soups were -- the waitress was nice but seemed rushed and perhaps the only working today (albeit, it wasn't overly busy when I was there). Oh well - I gave it a try! read more

Service was good. Food was very good. Soups rotate on the menu. A tiny bit pricier than I'd like for lunch. Ambiance is clean and welcoming. Overall a solid 4 stars. read more

This unassuming strip plaza eatery is much bigger inside than it looks with a bar area and a separate dining room that has tables and booths with plenty of room to move around. We stopped for lunch while out running errands in a rainy, chilly late May Pittsburgh day. We remembered this place has a great selection of rotating soups AND beers. How could we go wrong? We were warmly greeted as soon as we came in the bar entrance. There was a music variety playing at just the right volume to be pleasant and not intrusive. We sat at the bar and checked out the soup list first. I was super excited about the crab bisque! The beer board was great- a wide range of mostly local craft brews in a wide range of styles. The menu had a nice affordable ($12-$15) selection of sandwiches, burgers, wraps and salads, but not too many. (I am afraid of Cheesecake Factory menus) A little of something for everyone. I got the "pick 2" with the crab bisque and a 1/2 club sandwich. $12.50. Todd had the daily special; a cheeseburger, fries WITH a cold beer for $15! My bisque was creamy with a good amount of crab, but not a ton. (Sad face) It was really delicious- a great balance of salty and crabby sweet. The 1/2 sandwich looked a little small when it arrived, but on first bite I discovered it was piled high with fixings. Todd enjoyed the huge burger, a perfect medium and took half home. Fries were crispy and hot. Service was great! Attentive but not hovering. And the bartender really knew her beers! Overall, it was a pleasant yummy lunch break. Make a point to stop when you're in the area- try the crab bisque! read more

This place is great. You even purchase art off the wall if you want to. Decent food tons of beer options and almost never that busy.

It has been a few years since I wrote a review for Stoke's. Thought it was long time that I write a new one. Originally, I had said the service wasn't good. It has gotten much better over time. It doesn't take as long to sit down or receive your food. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. They take your order, bring your drinks and then check on you before and after the meal. It was great that the service got so much better. The food is still excellent. We have tried most things on the menu although we tend to have a lot of favorites that we flock to most times. My husband loves the French Dip and eats it almost every time we go. He just had it last night and loved it. The Shorthorn Burger is my favorite thing to get. It is huge, the burger is well cooked and the chili and cheese really make it. It is hard to find a good burger in a restaurant. This one is one of the best. My family really loved the BLT when they came to visit and we took them to this restaurant. We still really like the appetizers too. We have never had a bad meal here. You;ll like whatever you order. Go check them out. Get a beer, eat some great food and get some dessert. It's always great to support local businesses. read more

These people make the best damn soups without a doubt! Crab bisque is ridiculously tasty and they don't skimp on the crab. Butternut squash is something I would never try but my better half Laura said to try. I took home a quart of both! Beer list is on spot and my opinion is sit it the bar area. All the games you want to watch on the TV's are just a really good vibe. Check them out and hopefully you get Alisha as your server/ bartender/ and everything else she does. She was awesome. Way to go Stokes! read more

First time here as we are from out of town and were thoroughly impressed by the food quality, taste and quantities. Chicken parm was delicious, soups are to die for (crab bisque was some of the best I have tasted) and wait staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back when we are in town!! read more

Got the pit dip and it was really good- bread was too toasty and was crumbling which was weird. The place is kinda dirty- clean the bathrooms and wipe the menus bc they were greasy. Good variety of food tho read more

Stokes Grill is a good place to go to eat. They have a very friendly staff. The appetizers are good. The have a large selection of beers on tap. The meals are very tasty and they do not skimp on taste or portions. If you get a chance, I do recommend trying Stokes Grill! read more

Stoke's always has a nice beer selection on tap and plenty in the cooler to choose from. You can either eat in the bar area or the dining room - we prefer the bar area. The bartender is your server so if the bar is busy, sometimes they don't get to the tables as often as you might like but you can walk up and get their attention. Their food has been consistent over the few times we've been there. I really enjoyed the roast beef wrap which is nicely grilled and crispy on the outside. Their coleslaw and broccoli salad were both super good! We also tried the green fries which come with artichokes, pesto, and brie cheese that were very good. They get a nice mix of old/young patrons and the vibe is laid back. read more

Tonight we tried Stokes Grill for the 1st time. After reading other reviews, have to agree food, service & beer were great. My husband who loves spicy food met his match with the pineapple ghost pepper wings! Will definitely be back. read more

Good sandwiches and great beer. Servers are very nice and attentive. Philly Chicken Hoagie was great!!! read more

I ordered the Pitt Dip and really enjoyed it! Truly the taste of Pittsburgh with your sandwich topped with French fries. It also has provolone cheese, fried onion straws, and garlic aioli to add a wonderful combination of flavor. The roast beef is tender and not fatty, easy to eat and enjoy. On the side is au jus, which adds to the flavor and freshness of every bite when you dip your sandwich in it. As a side I got french fries. Which were crispy on the outside with a soft center, seasoned nicely with salt and pepper. Atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. The staff is friendly and quick to get you your meal exactly how you ordered. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes and quality of food. Definitely recommend checking this restaurant out. They have a large menu with plenty of options for everyone's preference and whatever you're craving, from salads to pizza to mac and cheese to burgers to sandwiches and wraps. Also a pretty good draft list of local beers to try. read more

Loved the experience and prices! Good and drinks were delicious. Service was phenomenal!

Went to Stokes Grill recently for a Cuban sandwich. Got the onion rings and a caramel apple cider. The food was good but I still can't decide if I liked the cider. It was okay but a little strange. Not bad. The service was quick and friendly, which was great. The place is well laid out. I ate near the bar and got there before people started arriving for dinner. I overheard some other guests asking the wait staff questions about the food and heard some great options. read more

Good food, service and beer. Large selection of beer. Happy hour 1/2 off drafts. Nice place.

I am simply amazed as to how many restaurants there are along McKnight Road. I wasn't familiar with this place so we decided to see what it was all about. It's located in one of the older plazas along McKnight and it is almost hard to spot unless you are really looking for it. It is located in the same plaza as Lasik Vision. The place is very spacious, almost too spacious because the layout seems to be off balance or something. Large wide open dining room on one side and a separate bar with some tables throughout in the other room. Our waitress was in training so we had two servers. They were a cute team. Between the two of them we were thanked at least 25 times during our meal. Speaking of the meal, I did something I normally don't do - I ordered a sandwich that I absolutely had no real desire to try but I just had to order it to see how it would turn out. I ordered the Monte Cristo. The menu describes it as such: Ham, turkey and provolone. Battered and deep fried crispy and served with a side of roasted red pepper aioli. It looked liked fried chicken when it was served but I must say it tasted better than I thought it would but it was way too heavy to finish it myself. It would be something fun to order and share with a few people. The aioli gave it a nice zing. The menu overall offers grilled sandwiches, pressed sandwiches, wraps, hoagies, burgers, pretzel sandwiches, salads, 3 kinds of mac n cheese, homemade chips, homemade soups made from scratch, regular and specialty pizzas. My friend ordered the Stokes pick two which is a side salad or cup of soup with a half sandwich for $ 8.00. I look forward to another visit to Stoke's Grill. read more

Came in during Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week. I was surprised that it wasn't busier. Positives : Great beer selection Creative menu Negatives: Small portions Negative attitude of the staff Small bar area During the hour and a half I was there, one of the waitresses had 3 separate meltdowns... All related to the fact that she rang in a drink wrong and mistake caused drafts instead of flights to be poured. Further, I was deciding between 2 different drafts and chose a beer due to the menu saying that it was on special. When I got my check, it was showing full price. I showed it to the bartender (who, in her defense, was the nicest person we saw last night) and she got her manager. The manager acted like I was the one who made the mistake and acted annoyed that I brought it up to her. She, instead of giving me the sale price on the 3 beers I drank since her beer list stated it incorrectly, gave me an discount of $3.50. I still was overcharged but didn't have the energy to fight it. It's a shame that they don't want to bring in more customers because it has potential.. read more

We really liked our food at Stoke's. They had a pretty big list of soups that sounded delicious, and wide selection of beers. The Monte Cristo Sandwich (ham, turkey, and provolone sandwich) was quartered, battered, and fried. The roasted red pepper aioli (red pepper mayo) made for a nice dipping sauce. The broccoli salad was a very nice surprise. The broccoli was fresh and raw, the red onion was not overtly oniony, and the dressing was slightly sweet and just enough so you could still taste the other ingredients. On another Yelper's tip, I tried the Ropa Vieja. It's a pressed sandwich featuring slightly spicy shredded pork (carnitas pork) and roasted red peppers with a side of au jus. I selected the onion rings for my side, which were definitely a hit with the batter staying on the onion and not sliding off. read more

My first comment is simple buy a Filter for your tap water! The food is so underwhelming that no reason to return. I do remember a decent burger at one point, but I have been disappointed more often than not... don't bother beyond a beer! read more

We have been going to Stoke's since it opened. They have a wide variety of alcohol, but we go for the food. The menu is vast and has a great selection of sandwiches. Their cheese bread sticks are the best we've ever had. A little on the small side, but worth every penny. read more

Cold day in Pittsburgh, stranded waiting for family to arrive, we decided to get something to eat. Glad we picked Stoke's! The food was great, perfect serving size, our burgers were cooked to perfection! Our fries stayed crispy until they were gone, so tasty! read more

On everything I love this place is straight gas The bosses and employees are phenomenal. They da goats fr Def worth tryin when you in town

We were meeting friends in the area so we had to find a place to watch some games. The restaurant was pretty empty when we got there. All the beers were on the way so that was cool but it was kind of hard to see. The menu had lots of options . We had a wide range of people eating so lots meals. We had a pizza, BLT, Wings, and soup. Everyone was able to share everything and no one was unhappy. The sandwich came with soup and it was not exactly enough food by itself but with the wings, it was good. There are lots of tvs so you won't miss the game if you come here. read more

Stoke's Grill - Bourbon Nachos - Sandwiches Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We ducked in here out of the rain and it was nice. It was my wife and my 28th anniversary and she was craving a burger. Hey, who am I to argue. We we're over hungry so we started with some wings. They had a great flavor but were a bit dry. The burgers are huge and the fries are what you'd expect. The service was fine. Our server was actually quite patient as we asked for samples of beer before we made our selections. I addressed this because some of the reviews said it wasn't that good. Just more of that tasty sauce (hot) on those wings and hand cut fries would be nice. That would've made this 5 stars. read more

I have been coming to Stokes since they opened and it was half the size. The food is still great and the managers are awesome. They have got a bit slow over the time since the pandemic but I can't fault them for that. They have a good kid's menu and yummy soups of the day. read more

The antipasto appetizer is amazing ! Great variety of panini and wrap sandwiches . Excellent beer menu too! Would give 5 stars ... but i can't because they don't use Heinz ketchup. read more

Thanks to a gross, rainy night I was craving some soup. After living in the North Hills for about 8 months I've driven past stokes probably 100 times. Being in the mood for soup I knew that it was finally time to stop driving by and finally venture in. Stokes Grill is located in a strip mall on Mcknight Road and the interior of the space reflects this. It's large, wide open, and lacking in personality. One thing I did appreciate though was that the interior walls are decorated with art from local artists, all of which is for sale. For what the space lacks in personality it makes up for in great food. I ordered the Buf Chix wrap, a buffalo chicken wrap full of your standard fixins and blue cheese dressing. To accompany my wrap, and to fulfill my soup craving, I order a bowl of their broccoli cheddar soup. The soup was delivered quickly, piping hot, and in a large portion. I'd say Stoke's broccoli cheddar soup rivals all others out there and certainly defeats Pannera's, my long time favorite. The reason I give Stoke's 4 stars rather than 5 is the price. A wrap, a bowl of soup, and a fountain drink ran me $15. Yes, the bowl of soup was large and the wrap came with chips, but I feel like this was priced about $3-5 too high. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other soups and sandwiches, but its probably only going to be on days where I'm flushed with cash! Also its BYOB read more

Yum! Yum! Yum homemade soup! Second visit and have tried the homemade soup both times. Nothing like a good bowl of soup on some of these overcast cold days to warm the body and put a sparkle in the mind! Had the tomato pepper jack soup. So tasty creamy rich tomato with the sharp pepper jack. Had the Reuben Gone Fishin'..fresh talapia with coleslaw, swiss and russian dressing...very good and a little sloppy. Great combination. Meet some friends and everyone tried one of the soups. I think they had 4 available. Everyone was pleased! Also, BYOB and we did! Nice place to eat and visit with friends over a warm soup and glass of wine. read more

If you eat at Stoke's, and if there is an issue with your meal, they will lie, belittle and blame you in-front of your family. We won't even get into the service issues as well. I hate to give a second bad review as restaurants are still trying to recover but they brought this on themselves. It's a shame but but there are plenty other restaurants in the area we will patronize. read more

They have great food and one of the best beer selections in the North Hills. Go on Wednesday night for their burger special ($6 for an awesome burger) and occasionally trivia. The prices are good, they also have great pizza. It's really a good place, just not a great location. Also, if you like soup you'll love this place. Fresh, homemade soups daily. read more

I have eaten at Stoke's Grill many times over the past few years and they never disappoint. I have dined in & ordered out. They're sandwiches are perfect for ordering to go. Every time I've eaten @ Stoke's I've ordered the same thing just because I've never found any other place around town that offers pretzel sandwiches. I order the veggie sandwich (which comes with an assortment of veggies) with provolone & Russian dressing on a pretzel. It is so delicious! Also their fresh house made potato chips are so good!! Stoke's Grill is a must try! And I highly recommend getting one of their sandwiches on a pretzel! read more
