their website sucks

also cucina bella in bridgeville was good (byob)

This.

Gaucho is BYOB. Noodlehead is good but overrated due to hipsters and Everyday Noodles is better.

Is Everyday Noodle BYOB?

Also, it's not really comparable to Noodlehead. The latter is just a Thai restaurant.

They both have noodle in their title. And yes, I believe Everyday Noodle is BYOB.

Topgolf is in Bridgeville. It's 100% South Hills.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh.

Postby **nocera** » Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:45 am

Pfft. Maybe according to wikipedia. But real folk know that ain't no south hills.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:49 am

The hell is brideville if it's not the South Hills.

Just another shitty borough off of 79.

Postby **mac5155** » Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:55 am

anyone eat at top golf? I heard their food is surprisingly good.

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:55 am

imo the line of demarcation is I-79. Top golf is west of 79. ergo, not south hills

Postby **Troy Loney** » Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:56 am

Maybe there are parts of scott township that aren't the south hills, but Bridgeville is nestled around St Clair and Lebo.

As a North Hills guy that just passes through there; yeah, this checks out. South Hills is Rt. 51/19 territory; you have to want to be there to be there.

Yeah, not bad really. Pricey if your group is large and you're there long enough.

This is a good description imo.

Had a mac & cheese burger at Hough's the other day. It was delicious. I've never felt so happy and depressed at the same time.

- Literally any Chinese or Vietnamese place you fall into
- Petit Crenn (probably the best meal I've had in the United States)
- The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar (f**k Disney, this is the happiest place on Earth)
- The Ferry Terminal Building (go on a Saturday for the farmers market; it's a crush of humanity, but amazing)
- Hog Island Oyster Company (in the Ferry Bldg and the Oxbow in Napa; this is also our happy place)
- Roli Roti (porchetta from a truck)
- Absinthe
- Barcino
- Jardinière
- Chez Maman
- B44 Catalan Bistro
- Wayfare Tavern
- Tony's Pizza Napoletana
- Nopalito
- Swan Oyster Depot
- Cockscomb Restaurant
- Public House (the Impossible Burger!)
- Harvey's
- Presidio Picnic (weekly food truck shenanigans during summer)

The Peninsula / South Bay
- Ben Tre (South San Francisco)
- Pausa (San Mateo)
- Bonchon Chicken (San Bruno)
- Pasta Moon (Half Moon Bay)
- Poor House Bistro (San Jose)
- CD Bakery & Deli (East San Jose)

Wine Country / North Bay
- Valette (Healdsburg)
- Dry Creek Kitchen (Healdsburg)
- El Dorado Kitchen (Sonoma)
- Oxbow Public Market (Napa)
- Ramen Gaijin (Sebastapol, best ramen I've ever had)
- Ginochio's Kitchen (Bodega Bay)
- Barrel House Tavern (Sausalito)

There are other places that I know are fantastic and would recommend that I have not been to (Single Thread, Manresa, Atelier Crenn, et al). But the above are all places I've been to and will actually miss once we're gone.

WEnt to Jim's Famous Sauce (or something like that?) in West Mifflin yesterday. We were volunteering at the food bank, limited on time, and well your options in West Mifflin are awful limited. It was actually pretty good.

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Fri Feb 08, 2019 12:54 pm

jim's is freaking awesome

Postby **mac5155** » Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:43 pm

I really liked it. The sauce is damn good. Almost like a chili ketchup?
