Restaurants in Pittsburgh

[fitme40]

My DH and I are going to a Pirates game on Sunday and we've never been to Pittsburgh before. If any of you live there could you recommend a good place to eat for dinner? Fancy or casual whatever you think is good. Thanks is advance!!

No recommendations, since we always ate at my DH's mom's house in Greensburg. But I wanted to tell you to have a great time at the game. I've only been to PNC Park once, but loved it. Wave to Honus for me!

I live in the Pittsburgh area and it is a huge tradition around here
to eat at Primanti Brothers. Its only a few blocks from the stadium
and is located in Market Square. It is a very casual place. They have all kinds of sandwiches and their trademark is to put the french fries and coleslaw on the sandwich. If your're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan you can get the Rothlisberger (sp?) sandwich which is basically a heart attack on a bun, but sounds pretty good if your're a carnivore. Have
fun at the game, the stadium is really nice.

Agree with Maria. I lived in Pittsburgh for four years. The stadium is alot of fun. Primanti brothers is famous for their sandwiches. Pamela's is great, too. Pamela's is better for breakfast food.

We lived in Pittsburgh for 8 years. Our fave restaurant *hands down* is Road to Karakesh, an African-inspired restaurant. It's totally off the beaten path. The front of the restaurant has floor seating where you sit on pillows. It has a Moroccan theme inside. Everything on the menu is delicious!!!!! Its sister restaurant Spice Islands (Asian food) is down the street a couple of blocks and is equally yummy. Fajita Grill is also one of our top faves! It's Mexican food but has a lot of unusual dishes that you won't find in most Mexican restaurants.

Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering for my fave restaurants.

ETA: I forgot to mention that all 3 restaurants are BYOB! (They have a corkage fee, though.)
