Downtown Pittsburgh there is a bbq place, it's called Mr. Ribs. Right up from the Consol Energy on 5th. Smells good when I'm walking by after work. It's not an eat in place so not sure if that's what you are looking for. Looks like a dive but people say its real good. Owners is always friendly when walking by. Not sure of the hours.

Here is another place I heard was good. I never get bbq around pgh since I make it myself all the time.
I will trade you for some Detroit style pizza. I make my own but have no clue if I'm close since I never had a real deal Detroit square.

This is my favorite pizza joint. Its probably about 30 minutes north of PGH. They have the Sicilian thick pizza.

I've always wanted to try Primanti Brothers in the Strip District. I think one of their sandwiches was even on man vs food. Go Steelers!!! BTW...I feel sorry for you having to watch that game with the Steelers in their yellow bee throwback uniforms.XL BGE

You should pay a visit to Franco at Ceramic Grill Works while in town.

Thanks for the offer on the pizza. Wish I would be around this evening. I am going to Cleveland Ohio next month and see they have Jets pizza. Can't wait to try it.
My second favorite team since I was a kid has been the Lions. Billy Sims and Barry Sanders were favorites.
Calvin Johnson is going to have a huge game.
Have fun.

My favorite hamburger in the world is at Tessaro's American Bar and Hardwood Grill. it is on Liberty Avenue an easy cab ride or drive from downtown. Prime cuts ground and cooked on mesquite. Worth it even if you had to walk there. http://tessaros.com/ I guess their steaks and chops are excellent, but I can't get past the burger.You can skip Primanti's IMHO. The original location in the strip district has some local color, but they are now a chain, and the food is absolutely uninspired. I ordered a Cheese steak, and the meat was a ground product that tasted like meatloaf.XLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

The Church Brew Works is pretty cool. Good pierogies and beer. Remodeled Roman Catholic Church. The vats are up by the original organ.

+1 on Church Brew Works being a very cool place, and menu usually has interesting specials. But it's 2 blocks to Tessaros and I'll take their burger over a Ruths Chris steak. honestly! ^:)^By the way, I lived in and near Pgh for 40 years, still have family there, know my way around!@michigan_jason, you gotta give a review wherever you goXLBGE, Small BGE, Homebrew and GuitarsRochester, NY

Whenever we are in town we like to hit up Fatheads on the south side. Great beer selection and the food (typical bar food) is real good too. That is our casual spot. For nicer dinners we like Lidia's (Lidia Bastiancich's place), Salt (progressive american, real talented chef, great cocktails), Cure (if you're in the mood for Charcuterie) and Notion (a more modernist cuisine/molecular gastronomy restaurant). Burgatory is another spot I'd suggest. The food scene in Pittsburgh has really improved over the past 5-10 years. As for Primanti's, if you happen to be near one it is worth checking out as it is the iconic Pittsburgh restaurant but it's not worth going out of your way for in my opinion...it's good, don't get me wrong but it's not THAT good.

Look up PattyO in the other forum! There's also a Primanti Bros at Grove City outlet mall if you're driving from the north and shopping there.canuckland

We got Mike & Tony's Gyros last night after 2343284 different bars. Let me tell you that it was the best Gyro I have eaten in my life. Primanti Bros was "ok" at best, but like someone else said, the steak was literally a patty and not that appealing. Plan to eat before we head home tomorrow and looking to get a burger from tessaros as mentioned above.

Good choice with Mike and Tony's. That's my favorite gyro also.
