I've been here since the beginning of June and all I've had is shitty food. So any recommendations?

I don't know about pittsburgh in particular, but I found pennsylvania to have pretty good food in general...get yourself out to the amish areas for some good southern-style food...

Try the Sewickley Hotel.

What area of town are you in?

When I was there I went to the three locations Adam Richman visited in man vs food: delucas, Quaker steak and lube, and primanti bros. Delucas was good (breakfast diner, always a line out the door), but the other two were gimmicky/chainy and mediocre.

Have you been to the strip district? In all honesty Pittsburgh isn't a good food town. I expected better. It's the kind of place where unless you grew up eating it, it's just average at best ala Prim Bros.

Take the Duquense lift up to Mt Washington and eat at Le'mont or Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. Both are excellent and the views are friggin amazing.

Pittsburgh has some pretty good restaurants. Lived there for 5 months, and I'd recommend the following:

Meat and Potatoes
Chashba
Grit and Grace
Butcher and the Rye
Kaya
Dishotreia
Root 174
Spoon

Yeah, Pittsburgh is no New Orleans, but it still has a nice diverse restaurant scene.

I like Pittsburgh.

Eleven & Meat and Potatoes are seconded.

Fat Head's Saloon on South side is solid bar food. Great beer selection.

My favorite restaurant in all of PGH is Sonoma Grille - Downtown by the Convention Center

My second favorite is La Tavola Italiana - Mt. Washington

From New Orleans and moved here for work a couple months ago and I can second a few recommendations.

Fat Head's Saloon is just about as good as you can get for bar food and sandwiches.

Butcher and The Rye and also Grit and Grace were both very good nicer meals.

I just moved here from New Orleans a couple weeks ago. I am living in Lawrenceville. I have not tried much yet but Slim Man sandwich in Strip District, Coca Cafe, and picking up frozen stuff from Penn Macaroni Company have all been very good.

On another note, there is apparently a LSU group in town. LINK

Primanti Bros or whatever is the worst sandwich I've ever had in my life.
