Camino Review – Casual Mexican Dining in Bloomfield

October 10, 2025

Camino is a Mexican restaurant in Bloomfield with a fast-casual vibe. From the owners of other local Mexican spots Tocayo and Totopo, Camino offers a similar menu with cocktails, burritos, bowls, tacos, and more.

The space is bright and cheery, and while some of the entrees hit the mark for us more than others, the cocktails were respectable, and, perhaps most important of all, the food came in at an incredibly good value.

So if you want a reasonably priced Mexican restaurant, Camino has a lot to consider.

October 8, 2025September 23, 2025

After visiting the stunning Hyeholde in Moon Township for our anniversary, we knew we would have to return for one of their prix fixe dinner experiences (either the chef's table or a periodic themed menu offering).

Shortly thereafter, we got our chance with Hyeholde's annual beer dinner with Altered Genius Brewing to celebrate the release of their collaboration house beer, the Hyeholde Grisette.

We were guests of Hyeholde for this beer pairing dinner with Altered Genius Brewing, and share more in this review from this incredible six-course feast!

Curry Mouth Review – Go for a Trinidadian Combo Meal

August 28, 2025

We always welcome more international dining in Pittsburgh, and it is always an exciting day when we hear about a new Caribbean restaurant opening in the region in particular.

So when we heard about the restaurant, Curry Mouth, opening up and focusing on cuisine from Trinidad, we were in. For those who like flavorful dishes that pack the spice without being overtly hot, this one has a lot to love.

Hyeholde Review – Fine Dining in a Beautiful Castle

July 25, 2025July 23, 2025

Hyeholde is a Pittsburgh fine dining institution housed in a castle in Moon Township.

Built in 1937 originally as a combination restaurant and living space, the ambiance here is hard to beat with dining tables tucked into dozens of nooks and rooms around the castle. It's a special occasion spot for sure, serving up seasonal, high-end food and drinks.

Palm Palm Review – Coastal Vibes and International Tapas

July 17, 2025July 15, 2025

Palm Palm is a vibrant small plates restaurant located in Shadyside near East Liberty. The restaurant, the second venture from the folks behind Ritual House, aims to blend the vibes and food from Palm Beach and Palm Springs, along with nods to other cuisines from around the world.

With good flavor combinations in the dishes, tropical-leaning cocktails, and coastal vibes, the spot has a feel-good ambiance that's sure to draw crowds.

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings Review – A Dumpling Feast

June 24, 2025

Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings got its start in Flushing, New York, a few decades ago and has since garnered a huge following, expanding to multiple locations in several states. Needless to say, the opening of a location right here in Pittsburgh created a huge initial buzz and anticipation.

We visited soon after opening and enjoyed the fun vibe, the variety of soup dumplings on offer, and several of the non-dumpling menu offerings.

Hey Babe Offers a Mix of Cocktails and Food in East Liberty

June 18, 2025June 18, 2025

Ever since Whitfield closed at The Ace Hotel (now the Maverick Hotel), we've been looking forward to a new spot that would be a worthy successor.

In 2025, Hey Babe opened and had a menu that made us think this could be the place, and we went in as quickly as we could to check it out.

On the surface, Hey Babe feels like a proper hotel lounge, with a robust menu of craft cocktails, wine, and beer. This alone would put the bar in the running for one of the best hotel bars in the city. But throw on their robust food menu as well, and this is the kind of place you can go for drinks, food, or a little bit of everything and not feel out of place- for guests of the hotels and locals alike.

To put it bluntly, Hey Babe has just about everything we look for in a good cocktail bar.

10 of the Best Sushi Restaurants in Pittsburgh

May 20, 2025

It is really hard to beat delicious sushi, and thankfully in Pittsburgh there is no shortage of great sushi restaurants to enjoy (despite our city not being near an ocean).

So in this one, we wanted to share ten of our favorite places for sushi in Pittsburgh. But, to be complete, we're going to look at sushi as all things raw seafood and include sashimi, nigiri, and the classic roll here as there truly are gems for every type!

10 of the Best Burgers in Pittsburgh You Must Try

September 25, 2025April 17, 2025

It is hard to say no to a good burger. From the all American-grilled classic to smash burgers, loaded burgers, and other unique takes, the popular dish is as much a vehicle for toppings as it is serving delicious, delicious meat.

Thankfully, you have no shortage of restaurants to have a great burger in Pittsburgh. From dedicated burger joints to a staple item on most menus regardless of restaurant category, you don't have to go far for a good burger.

In this one, we want to share ten of our favorite burgers in Pittsburgh. Some of these spots are tried and true burger joints, with many burgers on the menu (and we'll likely call out one or two of our favorites to try). Others are a restaurant's sole burger offering that is just too good not to include.

Although there are more spots that serve burgers, these are the kind that have us going back again and again and covers a nice cross-section of all burger styles.

Note: The following is a list of burgers we've personally tried and enjoyed. As always, we are not featuring burgers we have not had. If your favorite is missing from this list it may be because we haven't tried it yet! As such, it is likely this list will change as we try more and more great burgers in the city.

Dad’s Dog & Burger Review – Classic Diner Fare in Bloomfield

April 10, 2025April 10, 2025

We love a good burger and will always be down to try the newest, most unusual take imaginable just to say we did.

But sometimes we want the classics, because it is really hard to beat a burger with conventional toppings when it is done right. At Dad's Dog & Burger in Bloomfield, we got just that.

Even better? This one feels a bit like a blast from the past with its no-frills diner atmosphere, reasonable pricing, and fast casual service. Could it have been a neighborhood staple for decades? Absolutely. But considering it only opened in 2025 and we visited for the soft open, well, that is all the more impressive!
