we had a great waitress Emma. who made my birthday fantastic.She was very sweet and attentive

We came to walnut grill for a thanksgiving dinner buffet. We enjoyed all the food. Turkey, prime rib (which was really the star of the show), veggies, mashed potatoes, yams, shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque and a wide selection of dessert. The candied walnut salad was amazing. The atmosphere is nice. Very swanky. We didn't have silverware though and had to ask for it. Another miss is the last of serving utensils on both sides of the buffet. I saw some people getting to frustrated that they mixed the tongs for the nut free salad with the nut one. This is a health hazard due to nut allergies. This was pretty important to me too. The prime rib was the star of the show. Every single bite was flavorful read more

This review is based on a DoorDash order. I haven't had Walnut Grill for quite a long time, and my meal was fantastic! The Salmon BLT was incredibly delicious. Like I will crave this. Crusty multigrain bread, lettuce, tomato, blackened salmon and delicious, thick-cut bacon. The bacon was candied and had subtle sweetness and heat. Blue cheese on a BLT? Total dark horse in this flavor bomb of goodness. My Caesar salad was par for the course. Nothing amazing but satisfied my craving. My wife loved her cranberry walnut salad. We got the hummus, too. Pita had a nice char and plenty of fresh crudite to dip! Hummus had a nice herby flavor. After this meal, I have renewed fandom for Walnut and will be back! read more

Trashy. The food is what you would expect, mediocre. But the service is the worst. Waitress came once and threw napkins across the table. They spent most of the night socializing with each other as plates stacked. Where is the manager. Abysmal for price read more

My family and I were down in Pittsburgh for the weekend and saw the sign for this restaurant. We decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The service was good and the food came out relatively fast. The only concern I had was that they seated 5 of us at a round booth and we were practically squished. But overall, the food was good, service was great; I recommend. read more

Wide open space. Friendly. Catherine took good care of us. Nice beverage menu. Lots of affordable choices. We had the burger, which was really good. The Salmon BLT was not dripping with mayo, etc. (thank you) and the bread was toasted perfectly and not greasy. Well prepared. Side salad with house vinegerete was tasty and hearty. Very good dressings and croutons. Nice and appropriate amount of shredded cheese. read more

I went to this location for brunch with my family (6 adults) and the service was prompt for this group! The food and $6 brunch drinks were delicious and portions were big, as many entrees came with 2 sides. I'm excited to go back and enjoy a drink on the spacious patio this fall. read more

Friday evening. Was busy but not overly busy: we were seated quickly. While it is a collared shirt style restaurant it is relaxed and you are not rushed.A great place to meet friends and socialize a bit. We had seafood which was great. The only thing I'd like to see improved is the ability to digital pay at the table. read more

First of all my wife wanted a margarita with not a lot of ice. The waitress said we won't make it like that it has to have a LOT of ice. We go to a lot of places and we always get the margarita with not a lot of ice. Next I asked for gravy on my French fries she said we don't have gravy. OK I can almost understand that. Then I ordered a Smash Burger I had to eat that with a knife and fork it fell apart as soon as I tried to pick it up and eat it. there was so much sauce on it it slide apart. I should have not accepted it. It was my wife's birthday and she couldn't have the drink the way she always gets it any place else. I won't be back there for a long time. I can go to a lot of places that would be better than that. read more

Came here for dinner, food was a little over price and it's a small portion I didn't think it was good it's just average. Service was good. Ambience it has a bar place this is my 2nd time here. If your in the area you come in and try the dessert walnut ball its absolutely delicious. Got it for the second time and it's really good. read more

Make sure you check your bill carefully. Our waiter added stuff on there that we didn't even order ! Probably so he'd get more of a tip. When we said something he wasn't even surprised. Just said oh someone had him hit the wrong button. He's not new there. Why would someone have him hit the wrong button to add more items? Used to be my favorite restaurant. Now we'll never go back. So disappointing. read more

The smash burger and fries were SOOO super yummy! I felt like I could've eaten that for a month straight! I'll definitely be going back for that combination again! The chili was the only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of. It has barely any meat in it, and was mostly and oily sauce with peppers, which tasted good, just needed more meat :) I'm definitely still going to go back another time and give the chili another try! The server was very polite and checked on us frequently which was nice. It was a cute space, very open and wasn't crowded when we went so it was even better! read more

It was a Saturday evening and we needed a night out to relax after a long week. We did not have a reservation and didn't need one, thankfully, as they had plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. They have a nice side porch that is covered and a huge front seating area. Our server was Maggie and she was delightful. She was attentive and efficient even after dropping some glasses that shattered on the floor. Cleanup on aisle one! She cleaned that up too. We had some martinis that were decent to start. I had a dirty martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives and T had a cucumber gin martini that was super refreshing. We both ordered the small filet mignons that were cooked according to our preferences and topped with a gorgonzola breadcrumb and butter mix that was good but, for my preference and tastes, took away from the actual flavor of the grilled filet. The filet was very tender and tasty. My only complaint was the baked potato that was super overcooked and sort of dense and gummy. The house salad with bleu cheese that also came with the filet was very fresh and enjoyable. We had a coupon for their famous dessert, the caramelized walnut ball, which was a super yummy way to end the meal. It was unusual with its caramel mix of walnuts and the ice cream was nice and creamy and cold with chocolate sauce and whipped cream to top it all off. Delish! hi read more

Thanksgiving buffet was mid. Not worth $40 per person in my opinion. It was super crowded but it definitely doesn't excuse being sat at a dirty table and having to wait 15 minutes for someone to come clean it. Didn't have silverware, had to ask. We've definitely have been here before not on a holiday and it's been great. Got sat in a back room so the atmosphere wasn't giving a warm holiday feeling. Server was friendly and doing the best she could being so busy. read more

It was a perfect night to dine outside, the music was great and the food was excellent. But the high point of the evening was our server, Taylor. My friends and I dine out once a week and Taylor is what every waitperson should aspire to be. She is happy, friendly, efficient, and just joyful. She made the evening most enjoyable. Good job, Taylor!! read more

It's 2024 and they have 0 vegan entrees. Their manager/hostess is extremely rude and let out super long sighs on the phone when I asked her to check if their Thanksgiving pasta was vegan (she was inconvenienced that she had to check the back of the box that they buy since they don't make their pasta in house). I am not surprised that this place has to many negative reviews. A true testament to the intolerance and ignorance of old school Pittsburgh. read more

After careful review the service was amazing! The server was very nice and was recommending us things on the menu. We started off with bread and hot honey chicken wings and both were good. The chicken was very large for only 8 dollars and the sweet bread and butter was that of a Texas Roadhouse. When we reached the main course we hit a roadblock... The cod sandwich was pretty basic, mashed potatoes lumpy like a paste and did not receive the condiments I asked for. My little brothers walking taco was the most disgusting thing to ever see the face of the earth. The meat felt old and was chewy, it was ground beef for the record. It was all cold and the cheese was not drippy but maybe even moldy and stretchy. Otherwise all the other food was great or none of the less basic. read more

Walnut Grill - Bad walking taco. Don't reccomend - American Near Me - Wexford, Pennsylvania

Apps goods. Main dish.... Not so much First off, appetizers were the star of the show. Buff chick dip was very tasty. Sweet chili boneless wings weren't too shabby and the sweet potato bisque was delicious. For my main, I got the walnut salmon with a side of coleslaw. Although the waitress said the salmon would be cooked medium/medium well, the salmon came out extremely well done. It was over cooked and extremely dry. However, the flavors worked well together and I can understand why this is a popular dish. Might be willing to give it another try. The coleslaw - took one bite and didn't touch it again. Not sure if one of the ingredients had gone bad or if this slaw had been sitting out all day..... idk and I don't want to know. Gross. Overall, kinda of disappointing. If I ever return, I think I'll stick to a sandwich and some appetizers. read more

We were here for dinner tonight for my birthday. Everything was wonderful. The portions were very generous, and everything was cooked exactly right. I had no room for dessert, but the rest of my party did, and the desserts they ordered were Huge. The server was attentive, and I am sorry we did not get her name. BTW, if you sign up for a birthday appetizer, you can get a code online that you can use for a week. Highly recommend. read more

I'm giving some grace on my review, as it was lunchtime on Father's Day... Overall, the place is alright. The biggest issue we had was the service it took 30 mins to get our NA drinks, and took 1hr 15min to get our appetizer. The meal then came 5 mins later. But like I mentioned, it was Father's Day, so I'm sure everyone was overwhelmed. The ambiance was great - we sat indoors, but the patio looked really nice too. I got the Mixed Grill, which consisted of Filet Mignon, Chicken, Shrimp, and Salmon with 2 sides, which I chose house salad and a baked potato. The food was about what you'd hope for. My wife got the California Eggs Benedict and loved it. Our toddler got the pizza, and her portions were comically large for a 3-year-old. She wasn't complaining We will be back for sure. I'm curious what this place is like on a normal day when they aren't slammed. read more

Walnut Grill - Mixed grill Filet Mignon, Chicken, Shrimp, Salmon - American Near Me - Wexford, Pennsylvania

My wife and I went to the Walnut Grill in Wexford last night for dinner. I have to say I was very disappointed. First off it was super noisy and I could barely hear my wife talk. I decided to go to the Walnut Grill as I had gone to the Robinson branch about 5 years ago and the experience was totally great, Both the food and the service. My wife and I got there around 530 with no reservation and where seated immediatly. The server was very slow from the get go and only got worse. I believe she had to many tables and just did not do a good job at all. My wife and I ordered drinks and french onion soup's. The server finally came back to take our orders. I ordered a filet medium rare and a caesar salad and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked ok and the salad was good as well. The steak was just ok nothing special at all. The french onion soup was not that good at all and not how I remembered it at all. The mashed potatoes where not good, Just had a bad taste to them. As a yelper when I checked in we where offered a free desert ball. I asked the server to bring it during the meal and I had to ask several times as she originally said the coupon was not good. She did finally bring it. I have to say the entire reason we went to there was that I had such a good experience in Robinson. Take my word for it not all branches of the Walnut Grill are the same. If I was you I would defiantly skip the Wexford location totally. You can be sure I will never go back to the Walnut Grill Wexford location. I had a hard time figuring out how many stars to leave I thought about one star but decided on 2 stars which I think is being generous. It has ben a while but if I was you I would try the Robinson location. read more

Our extended family gathered for a birthday dinner here due to the expected high quality food and dining experience. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I am not one to write strong reviews on the negative but will be today. Not only was the service lacking (our used appetizer plates and beverage glasses were never cleared), but not one person out of the 13 in our group had anything good to say about their meal. Those who had steak....cooked less than raw, chewy and fatty, no flavor! Those who had chicken....way overcooked dry and burnt on edges. My gnocci was probably a week old from the fridge and reheated - chewy pasta instead of tender. THEN get this...we only returned the birthday girl's dinner and they offered something else to take home. Later that evening she ate the smashburger they offered and got violently ill and this lasted for hours causing her not to be able to breastfeed her new baby. My teenage son couldn't even take a 2nd bite of his steak and he typically won't turn down red meat unless it is still hanging in the butcher's cooler! We will never go here again and do not recommend. On another note: We have been to the Walnut Grille in Robinson a few times recently and had no issues with food or service. It was this location specifically that we are calling out the horrible experience. read more

Was out with long time friends tonight...haven't been to this restaurant in 10 yrs. Best Filet Mignon I had in a while! It was delicious! One person at our table had stuffed Cod. They said it a lot & was also delicious. They other two had chicken & mushrooms - good choice as well. Wait staff was fantasic... before dinner cocktails came quickly & were kickass! I would come back to this restaurant. read more

Decent food ruined by horrible implementation of a credit card surcharge. While these are bad anywhere this place implements it by adding it to the check by default and supposedly taking it off if you pay by cash. I did and they did not. Since it is still a small amount for most bills (under a buck) it is definitely not worth bothering the busy staff about it. This company basically assumes everyone wants to pay 3.5% more without actually raising their prices. Putting that to the side the food is pretty good though a little pricy even before the surcharge. Service was a little slow but not unreasonable given how busy the place is. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Went to the Walnut Grill in Wexford, PA on a Monday night with some friends. Arrived at 6:30pm and by 8pm the waitress was sweeping the floor around us and then mopped the floor around our table. At 9pm she told us that they had closed at 8pm and "let" us stay another hour. When we asked if we could go to the bar, she said it was closing too. There were 10 people sitting at the bar in no hurry to go anywhere. When we walked out, they had the hours listed on the door - 11am -10pm! This restaurant needs better management. We will not be returning. It's too bad because my salad was tasty! Steer clear at all costs! There are way better places in Wexford! read more

Our last experience here wasn't great. We had a table for 5 with reservations. It took almost 3 hours to have dinner! We did arrive at 6:00 on a Saturday night, but this place has been in business long enough that they should know what Saturday night in a restaurant is like. Drinks: The first round was correct, but came out a little slow. Not too worrisome, since it's still happy hour and dinner rush is starting. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. Drinks were taking WAY to long, and anytime one person asked for a drink the waitress didn't ask the rest of the table if they needed anything. We all spent most of the 3 hours with empty drinks and empty waters. They lost much revenue. Appetizers: we ordered 3 appetizers. Wings, pretzels, and Buffalo chicken dip. It took a while, but they brought us pretzels and potstickers. Looking back, we know we got someone else's appetizers, but we didn't know at the time because we all thought someone else had ordered the potstickers. MUCH later they brought the wings, chicken dip, and more pretzels (which we refused, as we'd already had them). THAT was out order, so we know we got someone else's initially. Service: by this point the waitress is avoiding us as much as possible. Running through the room, not making eye contact and stopping as little as possible with one item at a time. She mentioned at one point that "both the bar and kitchen had tickets piled up". At the end of the night she apologized that we couldn't have had a better experience and said she couldn't return more frequently because she was "too busy getting yelled at" (we suspect by other customers, not management, as nearly everyone nearby us was also having issues). This all seemed like the perfect storm of understaffed (waitstaff, kitchen AND bar) and bad management. I feel like everyone was trying their best, but were set up for failure. Dinner: there was about an HOUR gap between ordering dinner and when it was brought. For that hour, we had no drinks no contact with our server, or any manager apologizing for the delay. Nearly everyone else in the place had left by then. The food finally arrived, and at least it was correct. I can only speak for myself but the food was nothing to rave about. I ordered a sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were warm but not hot, flavored well, but we're REALLY thick. It was difficult to swallow them. The steak was a great cut of meat, cooked perfectly, but not seasoned at all. Absolutely no flavor. read more

McKenzie and Amanda were amazing bartenders, my first time in here and their flow and workmanship were amazing we joked and laughed and my drinks stayed full and they were very attentive even with a crowded bar. Will be back! read more

A "small" salad vs the large. The small is a $9 and the large is $12. The Strawberry Balsamico salad is good though! Highly recommend the salad, but not the size. read more

I recently had lunch with friends and had the most wonderful experience. The food was great! I had the Street Tacos with Shrimp. Others had the chicken flatbread, the Buffalo Chicken wrap and the cobb salad. Praise from all. In this day of service issues, we were so pleased to have excellent service provided by Aaron. He was very attentive and polite. Our glasses were never empty and we all felt very special. Walnut Grill is a very attractive restaurant that has a wonderful menu. We all highly recommend it! We will be back to see Aaron soon! read more

As we sat down we found our seats filthy! Not a great start. We were then greeted by our server who was excellent! She guided us through the menu and helped us pick a dish. Our food unfortunately took a lot longer than we expected to arrive. I bit into my first piece of chicken to find it pink but thought maybe it was due to the red sauce it was sitting on top. Wrong! It wasn't cooked and I already ate 3/4. I was so hungry at this point that I finished the other pieces of cooked chicken (I know, gross). I mentioned it to my server and she took half off the bill which I thought was kind. Definitely had high hopes for this place but will not be returning. read more

Made a reservation here for mother's day for my mom, me, my daughter, grandma, moms fiancé, and uncle. We were on time and seated immediately, which was nice. We all ordered drinks, appetizers, and our meals. I had a free dessert through yelp! Awesome! Thanks Yelp! Salads came out first. I asked for no dressing and they still had it on the side. Whatever. Lettuce was fresh and yummy. Everyone loved their food. My moms food was forgotten so they had to bring hers out last. Not so great for her. And sad for Mother's Day celebration!! But she said it was good when she finally got it lol. She and fiancé had the crab crusted fish. My daughter had the hamburger with applesauce and carrot sticks. HOWEVER they brought out fries with the carrot sticks instead. She ate them and liked them anyway. I wouldn't been happier with a healthier item. She liked all her food. I ordered the ahi tuna (like before) without sauce and it was good. But better my first time. I also ordered the three meat specialties of grilled salmon, grilled shrimp, and grilled filet mignon rare. Everything came out great. Through I've had better salmon everything was good and I almost finished my plate lol. Got a side of seasonal veggies. They were good. Dessert I sadly couldn't try but my daughter loved it!! My mom grandma and moms fiancé loved it too. Everyone said it was delicious and it's the perfect portion size to share. It was the caramelized walnut ball. It was vanilla ice cream with caramelized walnuts, caramel, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Looked and smelled so yummy!!! If I wasn't doing keto diet, I'd have had some for sure!! :) read more

We had dinner tonight, a Thursday, at Walnut Grill. Our 7:30 reservations were honored, which is not always the case these days. We sat inside, not interested in sitting in the sun next to route 19 outside. Inside is kind of a sports bar atmosphere, with TVs and hectic music. Our young server was energetic, but called me and my wife 'you guys' at least 20 times. Ugh! Our food, a salad with crab cake and the fish tacos, was pretty good and delivered promptly. The wine list is sparse, to be charitable, but at least the prices are reasonable. Overall an okay week night experience. We'll return. read more

This was my first visit to the Walnut Grill in Wexford. Our server was friendly, and the atmosphere nice, but the food was only so-so. I ordered the French Dip sandwich. Fortunately, I ordered a salad for my side because it was big and flavorful- spring mix with two big pieces of tomatoes and a couple cucumber slices. The French Dip sandwich was very disappointing- the baguette was fresh and a decent size. However the amount of prime rib in the entire sandwich could not have been more than 2 or 3 ounces and it was very fatty (which makes it embarrassing to eat in front of others, when you have to pull fat out of your mouth while eating.) Other menu items might be better, but I'm not sure I want to return to the Walnut Grill. They also have a robot that brings food out to the dining room. It kept stopping right by our table, even though it wasn't our food. I wonder if servers split their tips with him. read more

Maybe because it was the evening of the 4th of July, but They looked so understaffed and the service was slow. Actually, only one waitress was waiting all the restaurant!! We ordered mussels, salmon, and French onion soup. Mussels were OK. Not great not bad. Every other dish was Jus mediocre at best. We ordered Key lime for dessert and it was not fresh. As a conclusion, I don't recommend this place in the presence of other options. read more

Big portions of great tasting food at reasonable price point. The patio is great when it's warm out! Great restaurant

Sunday brunch. mediocre at best. should've ordered off the menu unstead of the buffet. The best part of the buffet was the caesar salad.

We keep trying to have a good experience here but they keep failing. First, they were not busy the entire time we were there but when we arrived at 4:30 they said they only had high tops. The entire time we were there the regular tables never filled. The first comment by our waiter was the fact that we are his only table and he doesn't expect the other tables to fill tonight. When I turned my menu over there was a dirty footprint. You know it was on the floor and now it was all over our table. No one seemed to care other than an "oh my" and they took it and cleaned it and then I had no menu and a dirty table. Drinks came with no straws. Asked for straws. Straws came 15 minutes later. Dinner arrived missing 2 sides. Mashed potatoes were so sweet they tasted like someone added a lot of sugar. White potatoes are not sweet. We asked our waiter about it and he said the kitchen responded no sugar or salt is used in the mashed potatoes and they were grumpy. Nothing was offered, and no manager visited. I am still looking for the crab in my lump crab cake. Yes, I could have called a manager over but after a few times here with similar results and even our delivery and to-go orders being wrong every time we have just given up. I even added a nice pic of my menu. There is no accountability at this place. One last thing...The dessert cake was about 3 x 3 and 2 in high. This thing was nothing for $8 or so. But...it was the best thing anyone ate so there is that... read more
