Yummy food yummy people. Good service, food took some time to get out but we don't mind bc can tell the food is fresh and gave us time to talk. Got seated right away even at peak dinner time. Truffle burger is solid and so is the supreme pizza. Would recommend. I like the inside vibes, next to the park, nice sunset, open windows, modern but not too modern.

I will definitely be back for round two! I really enjoyed the entire menu . A nice mix of light and heavy. I had a delicious chicken salad with some fresh biscuits on the side that included jam. Great location too where you can perfectly see the park. We enjoyed the porch seating. I look forward to my next visit. Service was not slow for how busy it was on a Saturday.

Great spot over by the Cathedral of Learning. Usually hit this spot when visiting my son. I grab myself a Bloody Mary and salad most times. But this visit we went for breakfast before hitting the road back to NY, got to fuel the body for the long drive. This is a beautiful location at the entrance of the park, the staff is super sweet and kind. The patrons are just as friendly. Many students and teachers enjoying some food while working or studying. Just such a chill vibe. Check them out, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Listen. This is what it is. It's Eat N Park w a cute name. It's not making promises to be exceptional, they're offering an amazing location, fast service, good people want for meals and to get in & our. It's great. Prices are reasonable and the location is great. Meals are always consistent. That's the thing. It's not the coolest and trendiest of places but they deliver in providing a great experience, fast, and delicious.

Definitely fit the bill as a meeting place for a small group of us gathering for a concert at the Carnegie Music Hall, which is a 2-3 minute walk away. Unfortunately they don't take reservations so we took a slight risk that they'd be able to accommodate us, little to worry about- it's a fairly large space with lots of seating. Additionally, there is outside seating. There were plenty of kind servers that were efficient. There are also plenty of food and drink options, not so many that were on happy hour deals. We ordered a pizza and tater tots which are not traditional tater tots but, rather, little red potatoes- good, but not tater tots. The pizza was pretty good.

I mean. I always enjoy the food at The Porch. It's one of my favorite places to visit in Pittsburgh. Came here after a visit to the Carnegie museum. We were seated as soon as we walked in , not a long wait. We had the barbecue chicken pizza and order a cheese pizza for our toddler son which he loved. We also had a Caesar salad which was so yummy to accompany our pizza.

I stopped by around 5pm for dinner with a friend on Tuesday and we were able to be seated immediately. We split a salad, a pizza, and a dessert and we had a drink each. Our pizza and salad were pretty good and so were our drinks and dessert although they gave us the wrong dessert. There's a ton of seating both inside and outside with a good amount of natural lighting due to all the windows. The Porch is a solid option if you need a meal near Pitt's campus.

Another great meal at the porch! I've been to lunch many times, but I enjoyed going at dinner because our server was so Efficient and kind! We had the wings - 9/10 - would give a 10 if there were few more! Great sauce selections and SO crispy and well seasoned! We got two pizzas - the porch supreme and the rosemary ham and butternut squash. Both were delicious but the ham and squash stole the show. This is wood fired pizza that just tastes so good - charred bottom and chewy crust!
