Pittsburgh’s Very First Steak and Seafood Restaurant Has Literally Been Around Forever

We all have our “go to” restaurants, our regular spots that we go to when we’re in the mood for a guaranteed good meal. But, sometimes we also like to try something different. Choosing a restaurant to try, of course, can often be challenging. And, sometimes it’s as easy as choosing a restaurant that has been a culinary staple in Pittsburgh for decades. Next time you’re having that age old argument – where do you want to go to eat – plan a visit to this historic restaurant in Pittsburgh.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
