I am a fish and chips connoisseur, and this is definitely a top 2 fish and chips of all time. The fish was fresh, flaky, and the batter on the outside was perfectly golden and crispy. The chips were also perfectly cooked. I also got the chicken pot pie and it was delicious, it had a perfect buttery flaky crust and the filling was well-seasoned. My only complaints were that the tartar sauce could have had more pickles/acidity in it, and they forgot my hot sauce which costed extra. This meal made me want to click my heels together and say pip pip cheerio. Highly recommend.

We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.

Their lent menu is a little more trimmed down than their regular food truck menu I have seen before. I got the fish sandwich, hush puppies, and a large side of lobster mac and cheese. It was a little pricey, $31. The lobster mac and cheese was as much as the sandwich for a container the size of a to-go soup bowl which seemed like a little much. There weren't that many lobster pieces for the price, like 3 or 4 decent-sized chunks, and the mac and cheese itself was pretty bland. The fish sandwich was the best part but I still wasn't wow-ed; I was also charged $1 for one slice of american cheese. I'm fine with paying extra for things, that just seemed excessive. The hush puppies and fries were clearly just frozen, and the fries were cold. For the price, I wouldn't come back here during lent but may visit the food truck at a different time to see the bigger menu.

Unfortunately, the blue gentleman tap room is closed to the public and only available for private events. I reached out to find out how to book a private event and was contacted by Rachel, their retail manager. Now let me start by telling you Rachel went above and beyond because she could've just told me go to Braddock Public House. However, knowing that we were a Craft Beer Meet up group she was specific in letting me know that they serve per Brew Gentleman Beer, which was the whole reason for it the excursion, and then she went and did something even further. She made a reservation for our group and ensured that we had ample seating for the designated time we planned to meet. Has someone hosting an event this meant so much to me that the team made sure that I didn't have to worry about seating or space once the group got there. So now the part everybody is excited for Braddock public health is a must try! On the drive there I was a little worried because there's literally nothing around it but once you get there, the space is quaint with an upscale vibe, but with a very casual and chill vibe. The pictures attached do not do the space justice. It's just very downtown chic. The menu is not your normal variety for a Pittsburgh base restaurant however with the owners being apart from Pittsburgh and having a Japanese/Hawaiian background, it is a menu for the taste buds. I ordered three appetizers which I shared with people and honestly, I would order them again. I also went outside of my comfort zone and tried what I'm labeling Hawaiian sushi. The gentlemen beer was fantastic. They don't do a flight but they do do sample sizes so I ended up starting with three (pictured here with name) and then I got two more not pictured (but included names with other "flight" photo. All this to say I had never been to Braddock, but Braddock Public House will make me return. Kudos to the team!

Hook Fish & Chicken has been a family-owned Pittsburgh staple since they first opened their doors…read morein Homewood back in 2005. I have been coming here for years, and it never fails to hit the spot. Even though I don't eat fish, their perfectly seasoned, crispy fried chicken is easily some of the best in the city.

I just wasn't the biggest fan. The food was edible, but the main dish left a lot to be desired…read more Keep in mind all their food is on the salty side. I tried their catfish nuggets with coleslaw and fries as well as their funnel cake fries. The catfish nuggets just weren't the best. The fish itself was very thin and slimy. There was a ton of gray meat as well. The breading was kind of strange and tasted very strong of cornstarch and vinegar. Some of the breading was falling off, too. Not the best. The coleslaw wasn't any better. It came in a very small portion. Additionally, it was super liquids and sweet. There wasn't any creaminess. Overall not good. The french fries were actually pretty decent, though. They were crispy and cooked well. Soft on the inside. Also, the seasoning was very solid, and they gave me multiple sauces for free, which was also nice. The funnel cake fries also weren't that good. They had this sort of strange flavor that I can only describe as "dirty fried" like there was something there before they entered the fryer. Quite greasy, not enough powdered sugar. Bland and tasted stale. All in all, the place gives cheap food, most of which seems to be somewhat sub-standard. If you really just want something cheap, it's an okay spot, but quality is not the best. There's not space to sit inside, too, so call in for takeout or order online.

The pickled items are all done in house, and menu/kitchen are very thoughtful on how they execute. They do the pickling well, and they incorporate their ingredients into the dishes without making them feel unbalanced. Some specifics: Chicken fried pickles: Great ratio of batter to pickle. Generally, I think execution of pickled spears versus chips is fraught with peril. ButterJoint does these perfectly. These remain excellent and an unequivocal "get again" dish. Crispy chicken sandwich: chicken thighs done in one of the House brines, then battered and fried. This is a generous sandwich with two thighs. The batter is light and perfect and perfectly adherent. Kitchen cooked these pieces perfectly; no overdone portions. The tallow fries served as a side remain excellent, and the serving is very generous. "You can't eat just one." Pork belly sandwich: what a completely fun bite! Generous serving of pork belly, crispy on the outside and melting internally on a perfectly toasted roll. The condiments on this sandwich are perfect. The brunch burger is excellent. The egg is hard cooked so it doesn't come apart on the sandwich. M got the corned beef hash; the brisket on it is absolutely amazing, and there is a very nice grill on the potatoes. The poached egg on top is a complete delight. This is one of the better hashes that I have had. The falafel is fantastic. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked. The goat cheese crust with hot pepper jelly is an unexpected treat. Pickle shrimp are fun. The Mississippi comeback sauce is basically a remolade or maybe big Mac sauce. Would totally have again looking for a little cold shrimpy bite. We have never walked away disappointed by the menu or the kitchen. Good bar program, good draught list. Consistently gracious front of house team. Great for lunch or dinner, couples or families. Highly recommended.

Got to try their chicken sandwich and vinegar pie. The chicken sandwich came with a garlic sauce (toum) and fresh vegetables on their signature milk bread. Needless to say, the bun was amazing. The toum was great too, perfectly garlicky. And the chicken was delicious, with a solid portion. A bit on the expensive side though. The vinegar pie sounded super unique and intriguing so I gave that a shot. So glad I did! This is delicious. I can't even really describe it; there's a tiny note of acidity to it, but it's also super sweet. A nice little brown topping as well. It's just really good and you should try it. All in all, recommend this spot. The inside area we were sitting at was a little bleak but other than that, it is a nice place to be!

Next to no parking in their private lot. Didn't try the restrooms. P.s. use the lower door off the patio to enter/exit.
