A good friend has eaten here quite a bit and he said he's never had a bad meal. My family and I gave it a shot and I think it lived up to expectations. A family member got the Cobb salad, and they're brought it out with an enormous, and tasty, piece of chicken on top. Another family member got the Chophouse salad, and it came out with a huge hanger steak. Instead of fries, it had redskin potatoes and it looked almost like somebody put a salad together and cooked a roast to put on it. The only thing off was that it was requested to be medium, and it was seated nicely, but far closer to rare. We tried the oysters, and they were good. They came out with 3 sauces (cocktail, hot sauce, and cucumber mignonette). We tried the potato croquettes, and they're game with a slice of jalapeño and a spicy sauce. The croquettes were crispy on the outside and really airy on the inside. The jalapeño was a great touch as it added some bite that we all liked. I'd get this again. We tried the Burrata toast, and it consisted of four pieces that had an enormous ball of cheese. They were a group favorite. I'd definitely get it again. We tried the beef carpaccio, and it came out with a large portion of toast. I thought the beef was good, but I preferred it without the toast as it seemed to hide the beef flavor. I went with the seared salmon, and that came with grains and pickled onions. The salmon was cooked very well, and I feel like the grain, onions, and sauces gave it a unique flavor. I appreciated them doing something different. I got the broccoli as a side as I just don't see it as an option very often. It had a balsamic glaze, tomato, and it was cooked well. I also got to try some of their lamb chops, and the portion was huge. The lamb itself was good, but there was a spice on it that didn't seem to be equally distributed. You'd not taste it for a few bites, then you'd take a bite and this heat would kick in. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was enough that several of us noticed it. The lamb came with roasted carrots, and those were amazing. They are easily the best carrots that any of us had, and they're good enough that I think it's worth mentioning. One person got dessert, the crème brûlée, and she said she'd have been happy to have five more brought out, so it's a safe assumption that it was tasty. Lastly, the service was exceptional. I'm really sorry that I didn't catch her name, but she was great. With everything that was ordered, she handled it all well and she couldn't have been kinder. I'd definitely be good with coming back sometime in the near future. read more

Fantastic service out of the gate, but bogged down after we were sat. Great cocktail menu. Maybe it was the rainy day Thursday crowd that threw them off. The calamari was quite dry. And most places it is but when you decorate it up so much maybe focus on what it is, someone knew before it left the kitchen‍ The charcuterie was fantastic but me nor the staff knew what cheese you actually put on it. Steak and sides spot on thank you. I'll slate this one to the weather See you next week when the weather is better read more

Tuesday nights at The Lot are all-you-can-eat crab legs, and apparently their business model is to see who gives up first......you or the servers. Yes, it's a little pricey, but the crab legs were absolutely delicious. Every time we finished a plate, another one magically appeared. The servers just kept coming with plate after plate like they were personally invested in our cholesterol numbers. If you're a crab leg fan, come hungry. You'll definitely get your money's worth. read more

Got the grain bowl with steak and potato croquettes as an app. The potato croquettes were great - no notes. I was a little disappointed in the grain bowl. For it being a "grain" bowl I was expecting more grain to be the base. Instead the base is mainly arugula with quinoa scattered throughout. I will get the potato croquettes every single time though. read more

I had an amazing Sunday brunch at The Lot with my family! We were able to walk in and only waited a short time before being seated. The menu had a lot of great options, but I was so excited that they had an impossible breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. I paired it with a side of spinach and everything was absolutely delicious, my new favorite brunch in Pittsburgh! My family all loved their meals as well - the portions were very generous and the ingredients fresh and thoughtful. I can't wait to go back again for another meal! read more

I had my hands full with my child, so my review lacks pictures. Oysters were excellent - I did snap a pic of those. I had a chicken salad, and it was tasty. I loved the shallot vinaigrette. My daughter's mac and cheese was so good. Get the mac and cheese as your own side. It's delicious! The patio is wonderful for a summer meal. read more

Spacious restaurant with modern decor and huge portions. Oakmont should rejoice at the gem that they have in The Lot! Tucked at the end of the road, The Lot feels like an oasis with ample parking, beacon of a huge sign, and modern facade in a somewhat aged main road of a town otherwise. With large glass windows shining in the natural light, the restaurant feels classy yet comfortable. Perfect for a date night out, a corporate outing, or just a lazy weekend brunch! The menu is filled with modern ingredients and popular dishes. I've eaten brunch, lunch, and dinner here.. but this outing was just for lunch! I ordered the Pickle Fried Chicken sandwich with a side of Onion Rings. As you can see, the sandwich was HUGE. Not just a simple chicken breast, but a butterflied breast that could feed a small family. Even with the toppings piled on, the bun held up and the sandwich was sooooo good. Don't sleep in the onion rings... these were basically deep fried bracelets. I'd consider it as an appetizer for the family with how large the portion was. Everyone at our table grabbed a to-go box.. even those who ordered just a salad. To top it off, the service was phenomenal. Even with a pretty busy midweek lunch service, our waitress was always available for refills and any request. read more

I'm a big fan of The Lot for breakfast/brunch but haven't been for dinner in years. I recently went for a quick app and drinks. FYI- they only offer happy hour specials at the bar. I ordered a glass of wine on top and then a frozen espresso martini. Both were great! The martini tasted like chocolate milk lol. My husband really enjoyed his gin martinis. We ordered a cheese board that was fine, nothing out of this world. My biggest complaint was the price - 2 drinks each and a charcuterie board cost us $100. So be prepared that it's expensive. read more

The Lot continues to be one of our favorite restaurants, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The outdoor patio is truly special year-round--whether it's a beautiful summer evening or a chilly winter night, the fireplace tables and cozy outdoor furniture create the perfect atmosphere. The food was exceptional as always. I ordered the chicken parmesan topped with fresh mozzarella, and it was absolutely delicious. We also added a crab cake, which was flavorful and perfectly prepared. My husband's steak was cooked exactly as ordered and seasoned to perfection. Even though we were full, we decided to splurge on dessert, and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. What keeps us returning is the consistency. The food, service, and overall experience are always top-notch. It's rare to find a restaurant that maintains this level of quality visit after visit. We love The Lot and look forward to many more meals there in the future. read more

Pretty disappointing experience overall. The service was extremely slow even though the restaurant didn't seem very busy & it was a real hassle trying to refill any of our drinks. Our waitress was nice, but the food itself was surprisingly average and honestly felt like something you could easily make at home. The biggest issue for us was the manager's attitude when we were showing our IDs to order drinks. He really only seemed to double check one of them, which is completely fine, but the way he handled it was just unnecessarily rude. Instead of simply checking it and handing it back, he basically tossed the ID back toward us, scoffed, and came across like we were inconveniencing him. There was no politeness or explanation, and the whole interaction just felt weird and uncomfortable for something that should have been completely routine. On top of that, they served us extremely burnt bacon, which I'll include a picture of because it really speaks for itself. All in all, surprisingly average food, very slow service, and an unnecessarily rude interaction with the manager. Definitely not the experience we were expecting. read more

We walked in on a busy Friday evening, it was packed but there wasn't a wait to be seated. The three of us sat at our table looking over the menu for at minimum 15 minutes. No one approached our table to welcome us or take our order. So, we walked out. So disappointed. read more

Love this spot. We've been here for breakfast many times and the menu is massive with tons of options. Their vegan breakfast sandwiches with Just Egg and vegan breakfast sausage are so good, and they're one of the few places in Pittsburgh that even carries Just Egg. And wow, those breakfast potatoes are divine! The restaurant is huge and great for large groups. We've been for both breakfast and dinner and are already looking forward to coming back. Service is always warm and friendly. read more

Still loving the The Lot at Edgewater! My friend and I recently came here for brunch. I booked a reservation on Open Table the night before for a 9:30 am reservation the next day. As always our service and food were delicious! I ordered a frozen espresso martini (so good!!) and the short rib hash. Still one of my favorite brunch spots in the area! read more

A nice place in Oakmont. Met a friend for breakfast. There's lots of seating options and a large bar. Our server was absolutely amazing and sweet! She was so kind and on top of everything. Price wise, it's a little steep for breakfast. For two of us, it was $80 for 2 of us. Not the type of bill I'm willing to pay regularly for the first meal of the day. read more

I have been to The Lot several times. Usually I am here for either breakfast or lunch, and this visit was on a Sunday in the late morning. The restaurant has a bar, indoor seating, and outdoor seating. There is also a cigar bar in the upstairs area. I typically visit during the week, and it is not too crowded. However, it was very busy on this particular Sunday. We had a reservation, and were sat within a few minutes of arrival. I would recommend a reservation on the weekends, or when you are seeking specific seating (such as the patio). Though not specifically on the menu, I was able to order a plain iced coffee to drink. Appreciated the waitress being able to make this. It was exactly what I was looking for and hit the spot. I have tried a lot of the menu during my several visits here, but today I had the Chorizo & Sprout Hash for my main meal. It was good, and I loved the texture of the brussel sprouts with the sauce. All of the "hash" dishes I have tried here have been winners. I also got a side of the Crispy Redskin Potatoes. This is by far my favorite menu item here, and I always recommend them to everyone. Additionally, I sampled some of the Thin Crispy Pancakes. The texture of these were great, and they sort of reminded me of a funnel cake. Our waitress was quick and friendly. We had great service throughout our entire visit this day, despite the restaurant being full and busy. I love The Lot and keep coming back. I used to work in the area, and would come here more than I do now, but even so I still will make the trip to enjoy a meal. I love sitting on the patio, and enjoying the ambiance of the outdoor space. You cannot go wrong with this Oakmont staple if you are looking for somewhere to eat in the area! read more

Not for me. I, personally, will not be back. I had the steak and my husband had the burger both of which were fine at best. My mom and dad had the lamb which they raved about and said was very good. We shared the shrimp macaroni and cheese, and it had a very overwhelming flavor of egg. It was offputting. We did a side of potatoes and I did not like them. It's a cute restaurant in a cool location but the food takes absolutely forever and the menu is limited. Service was lovely. That's really where they got their stars. I just cannot emphasize enough that everything moves very, very slow slowly here. read more

What a lovely restaurant! We were able to call ahead and make a last min reservation for Sunday brunch. I highly recommend making an apt as this is a busier spot. We were immediately sat our table and were greeted by our server, Morgan, who was lovely! She was very attentive and polite, and had good timing on checking in with us. Very affordable pricing for the quantity and quality of food you get and it was also served hot! I went with yummy hot mocha latte for my drink. Very spacious restaurant, yet had a cozy and comfortable feel. read more

My business team decided to enjoy lunch out so we chose The Lot at Edgewater. It was situated in Oakmont in beautifully tree-lined streets and a sunny afternoon. The restaurant was buzzing at noon but the waitress was cheerful and helpful taking our drink order but giving us time to catch up. The restaurant was airy and seating spacious so we felt comfortable. We ordered and enjoyed the comfortable booth. Our food arrived hot, aromatic and absolutely delicious. I ordered breakfast and it was fabulous! The potatoes were absolutely to die for and the omelet well stuffed... My teammate ordered lunch and raved the salad was delicious. We plan to visit again and I suggest you stop in... read more

We loved our food and experience at lot at edgewater. We thought the food portions were sizable and the variety of the menu was nice. It was a nice easy meal like you were sitting on someone's porch. We got the steak appetizer and the burger. Both were solid picks. The service was very friendly and timely. They were communicating the menu, refilling drinks, checking in, and delivering hot food. We liked that they had knowledge over the dishes on the menu and could provide recommendations. The only downside was that they did not ask someone with a barking dog to leave the porch. Every time the dog saw another dog walking by it would bark 2-3 times loudly. The staff seemed like they didn't know how to handle the conflict? But everyone in the outside dining area seemed startled each time this happened. read more

Food is scrumptious and very fresh. I love their onion rings. Never tasted any like these worth trying. The crab soup was good and hearty. They serve hot bread with their appetizers.i get so excited. About the steak and eggs they are made fresher than you. The atmosphere is quiet but lively. When my daughter says I want to take you to eat next wee k pick the time and place. I always want to go back to THE LOT . To try s different this time I order linguine with red sauce. I had to bring home because I was full. You can have whatever protein you want ! I order shrimp. They were four big shrimp I had enough for 3 meals. I liked because sauce had a little heat as well as onion rings. We left quite satisfied. Gi Gi pThe prices are just right for a family. I recommend this Diner. read more

It's me again. First, let's get this out of the way.....The food is very good. The waitstaff is excellent. The main reason for any high review! The charge for credit card use is 1.5% to 3.5%. Why do you charge your patrons 4%? Why are the restrooms cold (in winter)? Why is the main dining room cold? (in winter)? And my MAIN BEEF is, why can't you spring for some long sleeved thermal shirts in Navy Blue with your logo on it for your servers. You keep buying up restaurants. I can guarantee you, the long sleeved T's are a lot cheaper! read more

I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and was excited to go here to celebrate an accomplishment. When I made the reservation I mentioned I was coming for a reason and it wasn't even acknowledged but whatever. We sat outside on a colder night and would have been ok if we weren't sat in what seamed to be the only corner without heat but everyone around seemed cozy. I ordered the steak medium well it came out charred but still pretty pink in the middle but I ate what I could and took the rest to cook the next day. The mashed potatoes tasted instant and very little seasoning definitely not like a garlic mash. I didn't like any of the sauces I tried the chimichurri sauce with I usually enjoy at other restaurants I think it was too acidic for my taste and the creamy pepper sauce which was just bad. The saving grace was the broccolini and the chicken parm my friend got. The veg was cooked well and the roasted tomatoes with the breadcrumbs on top really made it delicious. The chicken was was flavorful and it was topped with burrata cheese which is always a show stopper. I would try this place one more time since some of the food was really good maybe I'll just stick with the appetizers next time. read more

I went to the Lot last night for dinner for the first time and had an amazing meal!! I got a dirty martini and it was delicious! For starters, we got the burrata and shrimp cocktail. The burrata was one of the best I have ever had; it was so flavorful :) I got the filet and added chimichurri and it was amazing! I also got the mashed potatoes for my side and they were great as well! The waitress was super nice and attentive as well. I will definitely be back again! read more

I always have a good experience at The Lot. This past time I was seated on the covered patio and had the Chophouse salad (a massive steak salad enough to feed an army) and it was tremendous.

I love coming here for client meetings, weekend brunch, or drinks with friends. read more

I came here for a private event and they put up in the upstairs cigar bar which I didn't love because of the strong smell of cigars. Additionally, it's an area more for lounging versus a meeting because of all the small clusters of armchairs and small tables scattered about. The spread of food they had was pretty good. I really liked all the flavors of their meats on the charcuterie board. Their mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, salmon, and chicken Parmesan were pretty good. One thing I didn't love is how they said the chicken was cooked in the same oil as seafood - one of my friends with us is very allergic to seafood so she didn't chance it with the chicken. The brownies and cookies they gave us for dessert were pretty good as well. Overall, the food was good enough to come back but maybe don't bring your friends with seafood allergies. read more

I had reservations for dinner on a Saturday and was seated promptly right by the kitchen entrance. I got the New York strip steak($48) , onions rings(+$10), double pork chop($39), and a bowl of cream of crab soup($10). The soup came out quite quick and tasted good although it felt a bit on the just warm side. It was quite creamy and a fair amount of crab meat. Bread was mediocre. After about 20ish minutes the main course came out. The New York strip was cooked to a medium/ medium well and bit over charred. I was very disappointed as it was not seasoned at all. Literally just a ny strip placed on a grill. I thought the Chimichuri would help it but i was completely let down. The chimichuri sauce had no salt or lemon in it, it was straight oil and herb thrown into a sauce container. The pork chop was quite thick as it was two pork chop, very moist but lacked flavor, thankfully it was in a sweet sauce. Surprisingly I found the sides to be my most enjoyed part of dinner. The Brussels sprouts and onions rings were crispy and seasoned excellent. Service was also a tad disappointing since we didn't get much attention, perhaps because we were seated right at the kitchen entrance. We went without water refills for the entire dinner. Lasty there was a 4% added surcharge for credit card usage. Overall I was quite disappointed with the overall food taste for its price and the whole experience itself.

We used to love this place and some of the food is still great. Love the ambiance. Love their drinks. Last night my fiancé got a steak and it was charred to black. Completely over cooked to ash. It was a almost a $60 steak so for it to be messed up like that is pretty sad. Our server didn't say anything about it (I feel like as a server you should use common sense and look at the food you are bringing out and not just blindly put it down.) We didnt want to make a fuss so he still ate it, he said it wasn't good. A shame. I do have photos that I will attach. The ball was dropped and there should have been communication from the kitchen and waitstaff and if something doesn't look right- say it and have it remade, especially something like steak that doesn't take long to cook read more

I ordered the steak salad, and it was a standout -- perfectly cooked steak, fresh greens, and a portion size that felt like a real value. The rest of the food we tried was also solid across the board, so no complaints there. That said, service was really slow. It wasn't that the staff was rude -- everyone was pleasant enough -- but things just felt disorganized. Drinks took a while, food came out the same time as the appetizer and it seemed like the team wasn't working together efficiently. A little more coordination would go a long way in making the service feel smoother and more attentive. We also sat outside, which seemed like a good idea at first, but the area was swarming with flies. Not sure if it was just a bad day or a consistent issue, but it made it hard to fully enjoy the meal. read more
