Whether you are visiting or living in Pittsburgh if you like good, traditional American fare then make a date to visit the Union Grill on Craig Street in the North Oakland area of Pittsburgh. The place is busy, inviting and has plenty of space with tables also on the sidewalk in warmer weather. The Union stops serving food at midnight; so go before then if you intend to eat, but the bar stays open til two in the morning every night except Sundays.
The Union Grill may not be the best place for a romantic dinner but it is a place where you don't have to wait around too long to get seated. The Union is also a great place if you want to eat out in a group or if it is a family outing and you want to take the kids. This makes it a typical American Restaurant where most people would find the food on offer more than acceptable.
The burgers are great with the half pounders being made from either ground chuck steak or ground turkey these burgers are especially popular and the chefs find that when the restaurant feels they have to keep those burgers coming. The Chef visits the market every day to purchase fresh fish and large chickens. Menu choice is changed daily and most people like to try the home made pie or the chicken sandwiches made from fresh, large chicken breasts. Another favorite are the crab cakes which can be had either as a main dish or in a sandwich.
