Three Great South Side Dining Options

Pittsburgh, like most large cities and metropolitan areas, has innumerable restaurants and dining establishments from which to choose. Whether downtown, in the Strip District, or on the South Side, you’re sure to find the right dining experience for you.

But for this one time, in this issue, I’d like to direct your attention to the South Side, to three restaurants in particular, all located there.

First is Hofbräuhaus which is featured on this month’s cover. Opened in March of last year, and patterned after the original in Munich, Germany, the same world-famous beer and atmosphere found there is now here in Pittsburgh along the banks of the Monongahela. With room for 1,100 guests, it won’t be long before you’ll think you’re in Germany.

The second restaurant I’d like to mention is Fat Head’s, the popular and highly successful bar and grill on East Carson Street. Featured on last month’s cover, this establishment has been operating now for almost eighteen years.

One sandwich on the menu, the SouthSide Slopes Headwich ($9.95), was voted one of the top five sandwiches in the U.S. by Maxim magazine.

And thirdly is McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant located at the SouthSide Works, a new shopping and entertainment complex. There is a second restaurant located downtown on Fifth Avenue.

With a menu printed twice daily that features 30 fresh and seasonal selections of fresh fish and seafood, this is definitely upscale. Besides seafood, you can choose from aged steaks, poultry, and beef specialties as well as pasta.

This issue is the second of two back-to-back issues that focus on the South Side. For more dining, shopping, and other information about the South Side, please turn to pages 30 & 31.

Well, that about does it for this issue except for one more thing.

Welcome...and do have a great visit.
