Pittsburgh - where to eat?

primanti bros you should do once, but only once
there's a bunch of Italian cafes/grocerys on the strip those are all good
there's also good restaurants north of the strip (lewisburg? Or something like that), a place called cure is really good

There's also an excellent breakfast place in the strip I forget the name.
too bad the bucs aren't home the stadium is incredible

For some reason, everyone up there loves Primanti Bros, but I was severely underwhelmed.

Butcher in the Rye and Meat & Potatoes are two nicer places downtown. I think Butcher in the Rye was my favorite of the two, but Meat & Potatoes is really popular. Advance reservations are needed for prime time.

Wingharts for a solid burger in Market Square.

Beerhead Bar if youre going to a Pirates game and want some decent beer before or after.

Church Brew Works is a cool place, but the beer isn't spectacular.

Grist House was a very solid brewery that I really enjoyed.

Pamela's Diner for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Great hangover food or just breakfast food in general. Pretty popular place so expect a wait.

Strip District is a pretty cool area with some good looking restaurants, food trucks, etc but I can't speak to any other than Pamela's.
