Great service and great food! We had a large group and the waitress took care of us masterfully! She was on top of everything from setting the expectations (drinks first, then appetizers, then the meals). She knew how to handle a large table. The kitchen did too. Cocktails were pretty good. I started with a pumpkin espresso martini which was great, although the pumpkin was lacking a bit. The margarita was also good, as was the old fashioned. I was mixing it up literally! For appetizers, the pierogis were a great choice, but that pork belly was the winner! That was so good and perfectly crispy with no chewy fatty bits. Great choices! That Yinzer Salad was awesome. I love fries on a salad and it was pretty good with the grilled chicken instead of the shaved steak. I loved chicken since I started eating these things at King's (RIP). Some others had the steak and wow, it was a nice thick cut and they were cooked perfectly! Usually steak at a place like this is a pass, but I'd think about it if I returned! It's in close proximity to PNC Park and Heinz Field (it will always be called this, sorry acrimonious) and we walked from a nearby hotel. I would imagine parking is challenging during baseball playoffs, but I guess we'll have to keep imagining that. I'd go back for sure! read more

I had high hopes for this place, especially with its modern and stylish interior. Unfortunately, it ended up being a bit of a letdown. The service was slow, and our server seemed like they were having a rough day. As the place got busier, our food and drinks took quite a while to arrive. On the bright side, my Hugo Spritz was solid, and my husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. The beer list was a nice surprise--plenty of unique options you don't see everywhere. We tried the hen of the woods "chicken" nuggets, which were just okay, and the burger, which was decent. The mac and cheese, however, was a disappointment. It was not very cheesy and lacking flavor. I probably wouldn't return for a full meal, but I might stop by for a drink at the bar. read more

We came in for a late lunch. Abigail was our server. She was fantastic! Bulgogi Pork Belly & Brussels 10/10 Cooked well. Sauce was really good. Korean BBQ sandwich 9/10 The sauce was really good, little bit sweet. A small drizzle of a spicy flavored aioli or sauce would be really good addition to this to cut the sweetness a tad. Side Caesar salad 6/10 Not really a true Caesar salad. It was just lettuce with some shaved Parmesan and the house Caesar dressing. It was a good dressing, I don't think there were any anchovies in it. I did also try a slice of chicken from someone else's salad, that was cooked perfectly. Nice and juicy. read more

I went a few times recently on Sundays. I went for brunch and ended up not ordering brunch because I saw they had a buffalo chicken wrap on the menu and I needed it! I got a tequila sunrise to go with it!! Then I went with some friends and I got the espresso martini and it was really good!! The staff was super nice both times I was there. It wasn't super busy so I was able to sit right down both times. read more

Stopped in for a bite before a concert at Stage AE with my son. Seated quickly by a friendly host. It's an attractive spot in the North Shore area. Drink and food orders taken quickly by our server, who brought me a delicious IPA of her choice. The food came out after a bit...it was rather busy there. My son had the chicken chimichangas and some pierogi...I got the pork brussel sprouts and a cheeseburger. The food was okay...but my brussels were a bit underdone and while the cheeseburger was fine, the accompanying French fries weren't good. My son was satisfied with his food...it was "okay". Overall, I'd agree. It was overall...okay. read more

Have a holiday party for a professional association here. Had the old fashioned and the first one was so good I had a second. The apps we ordered were good. We got the popcorn, the charcuterie board, the Brussel sprouts and the artichoke dip. All were good. read more

I was recently here for a group event, and it was a Monday evening, so that heavily influence my review. I can only imagine what it would be like here on a weekend or on game day - I wouldn't ever imagine trying to come for those kinds of crows. Being near the stadiums, I'm sure you can't even get a seat here. But for my visit, I really enjoyed the experience. Our group was seated in a side room next to the bar. There were very few people to begin with, but it was nice to have a space all to ourself. There were views of the rivers, and I bet on nice spring and summer evenings, it's a great spot to be. Our meal was catered, and I was smitten with the brussels sprouts. I know, I know, definitely a weird choice, but they were delicious! My memory escapes me now as to what I ordered for a cocktail, but it was enjoyable and I ordered a second so it was definitely good. The staff were very friendly and service was quick (remember I was here on a monday in March when sports seasons are over...) The decor was very rustic and made for a very warm and relaxed feeling which was superb. I'd recomend checking them out, but be thoughtful about when you plan to go to have the best experience. read more

This is a good (if loud) place to bring a group, because they have lots of larger tables. On the weekends they offer brunch in addition to lunch. Once we tracked down our waitress, our table mostly opted for brunch--3 eggs Benedict, the cheesiest cheese omelet any of us had ever seen, and the pulled pork. The kitchen was relatively timely, and the food was fine. I got the lemon dessert bar to go which was one of the better parts of the meal. read more

Wonderful dinner experience. Wide open and spacious setting with various tables and bar seating. Very friendly and attentive service. Great cocktails and draft line. Spinach artichoke dip was very good. Fresh with toasted bread and pita chips. Tasted good. The salmon was very good. Cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The mushroom risotto was a little firm but good flavor. Definitely recommend a visit here. read more

My sister had her wedding reception here. It was so beautiful snd private and they let us de orate it all beautifully. It was the hottest day ever in Pittsburgh at the time and the AC went down so that was a bit of a bummer but my husband loves Ed their risotto. read more

My breakfast wasn't what I expected (and wasn't what was described on the menu). The menu said the bagel sandwich was supposed to have a Brussels pesto sauce but there was no pesto. The sauce instead was a sweet masala with mild Indian flavors. I wouldn't have ordered this had I known. The flavor was really not to my liking and the sandwich lacked quality. On top of this, I ordered a pineapple juice and when the server asked if I wanted another I made the mistake of not asking if I would be charged for another juice. She also could have given me the heads up. Pretty bummed to see I was charged $4 for each juice. The restaurant itself is really pretty and in a nice location with a view or the water. Their lunch menu looks more standard. Our brunch wasn't as described and we were all disappointed. read more

The Foundry is a great place for drinks & bar food. Upon entering, you are greeted with a bar. It looks empty when you enter, but there's lots of rooms and the main bar is in the back! It was relatively packed when we arrived on a Friday night. The service was impeccable, and our waitress was very attentive. We were a part of a 10 party group, and everything went smoothly! My husband had the crab cake sandwich & Caesar salad. I had the chicken Caesar salad wrap with fries. Everything was super tasty and flavorful! My wrap had a lot of different flavors and was pretty complex for bar food. My fries were tasty and seasoned, and I loved the small shape! Overall, The Foundry is perfect for elevated bar food and drinks! Its menu is diverse yet simple and perfect for a night out in the North Shore! read more

OMG. So Pittsburgh is a massively underrated foodie town. I found this out the easy way! I stayed on the north shore, and there were sooo many places within walking distance to our hotel. The Foundry was the "least busy," but it's all relative. (Every place was busy). This was unique, local flair with some farm to table specialties (their salad was seriously one of the best and freshest I've ever had, no lie). My husband got the sausage and pepper cavatappi. I got some fresh pierogi with kielbasa...I'm not even a kielbasa fan, but it was delicious. Okay, so when in Pittsburgh, you get pierogi. And my spring salad!! I dream of it. A few of my friends ate at different establishments, but this was soo good...I don't know if I can pass it up again, read more

My daughter and I had dinner at the Foundry before the Taylor Swift concert. We KNEW every place in North Shore was going to be slammed and prepared ourselves for long waits and less than stellar service. We were shocked when this wasn't the case. While we did wait in a long queue for a table, once we were seated, the waitress was fast on her feet. The food was served quickly. Everything tasted great. I had the pierogies and my daughter had the grilled cheese. Both were delicious. I also appreciated that they had a couple of Taylor Swift themed drinks. The "Champagne Problems" was yummy. We were seated in the front section which is a bar area with high top tables. I didn't get a chance to look at the back. read more

We had a great time at The Foundry on a Friday night. We went around 5:30pm and were seated immediately. I ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer and the crispy chicken sandwich as my entree. OMG it was so good. Literally cannot stop telling people about this chicken sandwich. The staff were so friendly and quick. I felt that the menu was reasonably priced. I will definitely return here for another meal! read more

Stopped by for dinner with friends yesterday and had a good dinner! Should not pass on the fried cauliflower (tossed in honey bbq sauce) as it was delicious and plenty to share! Happy hour specials were great-- half off of certain appetizers. Otherwise our table had a chicken Caesar wrap (tasted pretty average), Asian chopped salad with fried chicken (my friend said was good and balanced), and the pierogi burger (my friend said it was delicious). Plenty of seating and bar space. Our waiter was also quick and very helpful. read more

I see no reason to give this place any less than 5 stars. We came here on a Saturday evening at 7pm. Six of us sat at the back bar until our table was ready which didn't take long at all. I ordered some kind of Winter Old Fashion and it was phenomenal (pictured). Service was quick and pleasant. Once seated , we all ordered the following : appetizers - crab dip ( the purée dip wasnt great and didn't have a ton of taste), meat and cheese ( simple, a bit underwhelming), and the Brussels sprouts ( DELICIOUS). Entrees included: short ribs, salmon, vegetable haluski, and chicken pot pie. Pictures are included for almost all of the food items. The entrees were absolutely wonderful except for the short ribs . The meat was what seemed fatty and tough. The dish was super small for being over $30 but should it have been delicious then the cost wouldn't matter. We did mention it to the server and she was wonderful about it. Sometimes dishes arnt perfect , but this did not take away from the great experience and other enjoyable foot items. Overall - I am excited to go back and dine again. read more

I made reservations in advance since we had a show at Stage AE. For those instances, it's the perfect spot! It's right across the street and there is a large parking lot behind Tequila Cowboy (also right across the street) so parking is very accessible for both dinner and a show. Service was very good, she was attentive and I have zero complaints there. We weren't drinking so I have no comment on drinks. Food...we ordered the chicken pot pie and the kielbasa sandwich to split. The chicken pot pie was VERY rosemary-forward. There was lots of the sauce but not much in the dish! It seemed empty...The puff pastry was nice and there were chunks of chicken, instead of the normal shredded you get in a pot pie, but it was not seasoned at all. This dish needed so many more elements to make it good enough to order again. More vegetables and chicken that was seasoned itself would have gone a long way. It was fine enough to eat but not $23 worthy in my opinion and I wouldn't tell anyone to order it quite frankly. The kielbasa sandwich was very mediocre. Anyone could have made this at home and it was nothing special AT ALL. Basic and boring, but my dad would have enjoyed it since he is the pickiest person at any restautant HAHA read more

Stopped in after visiting a museum nearby. My kids got burgers off the kids menu and my husband got the classic burger. Those were "ok" according to them. I got the steak salad which was 20.00. The steak was steak-um and I had to search through all the spring mix to find roughly 2oz at the bottom of the plate. I would not have ordered it if I knew. The service was good and the environment is clean and seems like it could be fun. I did not get a cocktail but they have a decent drink menu. read more

One of the better options on the North Side for brunch in my opinion. Also one of the few places that takes reservations which is nice. The chicken and grits meal was incredible. I wish the menu was a little more expansive for brunch but usually can find an option for everyone, and they have rotating specials. The back patio in the summer is also a plus! read more

We had a reservation at 5, but it wasn't needed for our particular night. The location is very convenient to Stage AE and the stadiums. The modern industrialist feel was really nice, and the touches of Pittsburgh decor was a fun touch! We got the Salmon BLT and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The food was good, but each item had its issues. The piece of salmon was small considering it was called a Salmon BLT, and the chicken sandwich was a bit over done as I felt it was dry. The flavors of both were really delicious, though. Our server was very attentive and very sweet, and checked on us many times while we were there. She also didn't push us out after we finished our meal. She even refilled our drinks after our bill had long been settled. We would like to come back over the summer and enjoy the outdoor seating area! read more

Service was good. The place is much bigger than I thought. Nicely decorated. The menu was a bit disappointing. Their "brunch" had only a handful of things and they were all egg based. I had the crab Benedict and it was nothing like described. The crab was in fact in a cake form and there were no hash browns as described. The hollandaise on top was so tangy it was hard to eat. And my eggs were poached very hard. It was disappointing to say the least. read more

Not surprisingly... this was a very average Sports Bar with very average food. We started with the Pierogi's which were not great, lol. Just look at the picture... :-/ I had the Hot Pastrami and it was weird.. it wasn't bad but it really doesn't belong on a brioche bun. My partner had the patty melt and he said it was ok. All very ok and on a game day, why not? read more

I visited The Foundry during Taylor Swift weekend in the Burgh. I have to say I was impressed with the restaurant's preparedness. We had a rather large party with us but the food came out at a decent amount of time and we all were happy with our food. I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was by far the best crispy chicken sandwich I have ever had! I also really enjoyed the brussel sprout appetizer and nachos. Our wait staff was excellent. I have no complaints. Even though the restaurant was completely packed, we still had a great experience. I look forward to our next meal at the Foundry. read more

The foundry is a gem on the north shore. It's general ambiance is relaxed and the decor is rustic farmhouse. You won't experience the best service from the bussing staff; 9/10 they'll be on their phone just chilling at the front entrance which is typically empty but the wait staff and bartenders in the back have always been great for me. I love going during Steelers season for brunch and I recently reserved a table for 8 for a post Pittsburgh half-marathon brunch. Yes you can make a group of 8 or less reservation The food here can be really good and on par pricing wise with what you would expect to pay in a larger city in a condensed bar area. It's not to say it's expensive but it ain't cheap. The chicken and waffles is dope. @thefoundry I vote veto-ing the cheese - it makes no sense. But the sweet chili sauce on the chicken is amazing, the chicken was soooo tender and delicious and the waffle and potatoes were great. Other honourable mentions include the polish hash and I really want to try the short rib Benedict one of these days (saw someone else's at another table and it looked good). My espresso martini was nothing to shout about but definitely a solid espresso martini (7.7/10 maybe if I had to put a quantitative measurement on). read more

A wonderful low-key option to go before events on the North Shore. This was my second time attending this spot. The first visit was for brunch after the half marathon - the brunch menu included grilled cheese, which was so delish! And the more recently, we attended prior to the Metallica concert. To note, they had a special event menu vs usual Sunday brunch for the Metallica concert, which I greatly appreciated. See photos for event menu. We enjoyed the Blackened event cocktail, Pork belly bites, and BBQ chopped ham melt with fries. Will always order their fries, so good! There was a bridal shower in a private room behind the bar while we dined this time. **making a mental note for future bridal and baby showers for friends that this is a great venue for a shower! read more

We came based on strong reviews, but it was a letdown from the start. The restaurant was empty, and the chef's name was crossed off the menu--never a good sign. The food was nearly inedible. Everything was aggressively oversalted. Stay away from the duck or wings. Should've trusted our instincts and avoided a place steps from the stadiums. read more

Had dinner here with a gal friend on a Saturday night. We made reservations, sat at a high top near the bar. Nice atmosphere with Christmas trees all lit up. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. The menu isn't extensive but was just right with multiple options I would have chosen. I decided on meatloaf with asparagus and whipped potatoes. Listen, I NEVER order meatloaf because mine is excellent and usually meatloaf in a restaurant is orange. Well, I'm here to say it was one of the best meals I recall having anywhere. Very pleasing to the eye and not your average meatloaf by any standard. I would order again for certain. They even had 2 different Rieslings on the menu. Made my day. Prices were fair, too. My wine and meal came to about 35.00. Bonus points for being near the Northside T station so that parking thing the first Ave garage and taking the T to dinner then a show at Heinz Hall after was easy peasy. read more

This restaurant gets 5 stars based on the 5 star service! I enjoyed dinner with some coworkers here tonight and we started off with so many wonderful apps (I couldn't snag a lot of pictures because I didn't wanna be rude on phone lol) We started with some sautéed brussel sprouts with bacon, some WONDERFUL Pierogies with caramelized onions and smoked sausage (when I tell you I would go back JUST to order this dish, I'm not kidding!) some loaded fries (poutine) that I were hesitant to try, but they ended up being a tie with the Pierogies and some pork belly! Every appetizer was good even better than the entree. Now....on to the entree lol, majority of us ordered the ribeye cooked medium or medium rare and mine just wasn't good...I think it was the grill marks in the steak, it just tasted like charcoal or burnt meat, my server SO ATTENTIVE noticed I didn't eat it and asked if I wanted something else...& I'm sure you could guess what I ordered...that's right the Pierogies lol. Libations were amazing I had a wonderful bourbon martini that will be tagged in the photos, I'd definitely come back JUST for the appetizers themselves. We had a wonderful time here, thank you so much Foundry & staff! read more

Visited on August 3rd before the Head and the Heart concert at stage AE. We were told that all the tables were reserved for reservations but we could sit at the bar which was fine. The poor bartender was so overwhelmed that she was in tears. We sat there for over 20 minutes and didn't get waited on. She was too concerned with the service bar drinks to wait on the people that were sitting at the bar. We walked out without being acknowledged and went somewhere else. We told the host who was sitting at the host stand playing on her phone that they should get the bartender help and she said that they didnt expect to be that busy. Maybe someone should pay attention to the concert schedule at stage ae thats right across the street. read more

We had reservations for a Friday night and had a table by the window/river. Overall, the food was good. Two of us had the strawberry salad with salmon. The berry balsamic dressing was tasty and complimented the goat cheese. The pesto pasta seemed to be drowning in oil. Not our favorite. Our server forgot one of our cocktails, but by the time she came back, we had received our food and it was too late. She should have comped us the cocktail none the less or the glass of wine we ordered instead to make up for forgetting. read more

An absolutely gorgeous place for brunch! Their patio is spacious and comfortable and overlooks the water. We really enjoyed sitting in the sunshine and people watching. The mimosas were strong and you could definitely tell it was the good Prosecco and fresh orange juice. I also got another cocktail (the name escapes me) and it was refreshing and perfect for brunch. We got the Yukon pierogies as an appetizer. These things just melted in your mouth, I could've eaten 10 more. My entree was the grilled cheese which has apple butter on it. I was a little unsure about it but figured why not? The apple butter perfectly complimented the cheese and incredible bread they used. The fries were crispy and perfect, not greasy. We will absolutely be back for many more brunches! read more

We had a wonderful experience tonight here. It's December 30th so the North Shore is very quiet and the restaurant was mostly empty compared to the summer and fall with the Pirates and Steelers in town. The decor is very warm and inviting and once your sat in the dining area you have a gorgeous view of the point, downtown and the Allegheny River merging into the Ohio. We ordered drinks first and I had a great IPA while my wife ordered a Cherry Mule which I tried and it was great with very little alcohol flavor but strong at the same time. For appetizers we ordered the General Tso's cauliflower and the poutine of the day was chicken and chicken gravy over fries with cheese curds. I'm not a fan of cauliflower but that appetizer was tasty and kept me coming back. The poutine was ok, the cheese curds and fries were on point but I don't think chicken when I think poutine. On a plus note it was seasoned well. For dinner I ordered the swordfish with butter soaked breadcrumbs on top of ratatouille. This was the best swordfish I've ever had and the breadcrumbs on top were perfect and the ratatouille was a perfect compliment to the fish. My wife ordered the chicken sandwich which had two huge chicken breasts in it. She actually ate one breast alone and then the sandwich. She said the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sweet/spicy peppers were delicious and the pickles were actually from the jar homemade pickles. She raved about the pickles again later in the evening. Our server was amazing and truly awesome in all aspects. I can't wait to visit here again. read more

We came here again for brunch. Crowded. Really great food. The waitresses were on top of their game. For drinks I ordered the Bourbon Martini-- strong for sure. I liked it. One drink lasted the entire meal for me. The man of the house ordered The Regal-- he liked it bt it was too sweet for me. Appetizers we had the Pork Belly Bites-- OMG!! So so good!! They were a bit sweet which complimented the hot red& green thinly sliced peppers on the top ((see pic attached)). For main I had my fav Eggs Benedict w/ breakfast potatoes-- I enjoyed it. The herb hollandaise sauce paired perfectly w/ the black forest ham& poached eggs. It had a good amount of seasoning & it offset the plain english muffin. My husband had the Fried Chicken S/w. They didnt have nashville hot but instead had Korean spicy w/ jalapeño on it. Side fries. Ofc he enjoyed it as does all chicken s/w. Lol. Over all excellent service, food& drinks. read more

I great spot for a meal before or after a game at Heinz Field. The menu is small. I wish they would expand. I had a burger. It was cooked properly. The atmosphere is calmer than other places near by. The management does a good job managing the crowd and limiting the patrons ... even around the bar area. Good to consider if you are looking to hear your conversation with your friends and family, Also, I really like how you can book a table in advance via OpenTable. A very nice option during game day where you can expect long waits otherwise. This one feature alone always puts this place in the running. read more
