Inexpensive and giant portions! You sure won't go hungry. The salads are huge. Nice beer selection. Fish is very good. Had a hot sausage Pittsburgh sandwich, with fries and slaw. The half order was almost a foot long!

A great hometown pub with a great beer list at reasonable prices. Food portions are huge and reasonable as well. Bartenders are always very responsive and good people.

A coworker drugged me into this place and I was pleasantly stunned. I ordered the large fish sandwich! Let me tell you right now to bring your A game for this one and maybe more bread. It’s two fairly long pieces of cod deep fried and placed on a fresh hamburger roll. Add fries and your favorite beverage and your belly will scream in delight. Service was also excellent as our adult beverages at the table quickly, food not far behind with check-ins to make sure everything was good. Pricing is fair and the choice of craft beers should please most. Decent amount of parking just be aware of the one way street.

This fish is so light and fluffy and melts in your mouth! The breading is so crispy, loved the texture of every single bite. The price is next level, I didn't even realize I could get a dinner at such a great price unless it was a Filet o' Fish!The mac and cheese was not my favorite, but I'm a cheesy person.

Great sammiches. We usually get the fish but we just had one yesterday at Jack's Diner. Today @ the BD we had the Pittsburgh Steak. Amazing! we split a whole one. Total was 24.11 including a draft beer. 2 meals plus we took home enough for tomorrow's lunch for us. You can't beat that with a big stick.

The Pittsburger Fish sandwich was perfect. The beer and food selection are both plentiful. The service was great. If there is any downside it would be its popularity as a local favorite. We went on Friday night at 5:30 and there was already a wait to get a table. Once we were seated it was clear that the waitress was overwhelmed with the amount of tables she was covering. Once she had the order the long wait for our food confirmed that the kitchen staff was also understaffed and not able to keep up with the size of the crowd. I think the next time I go I'll go on a week night. In the end the beer was cold and my fish sandwich was well worth the wait.

This place is the king of dive bars. Awesome food, well staffed, always busy, and great atmosphere. Makes you feel at home after a long week. Wings were top class jumbo. People seem to love the fish sandwich there and it was crispy and light. Excellent place kudos to staff and management.
