Nothing like the smells of Pgh waterfront while you eat

This has been asked quite a few times in this sub. The consensus seems to be that between the railroads owning a lot of the waterfront property and the occasional foul odors coming from the river, the potential for good true waterfront dining is not fantastic. The wind can also be fairly strong right at the water's edge, which can make it uncomfortable depending on the temperature and messy as everything blows around.

Hofbrau seems to be far enough away from the river to avoid the smells yet high enough in elevation to still get nice river views. Same with the restaurants on the North Shore by PNC Park. They're not what you'd call waterfront/waterside dining, but they have nice river views and are sort of the best options.

A couple of restaurants at the Waterfront in Homestead have small patios facing the river along the bike trail too. I think it's Red Robin and Storming Crab.

Station Square when the weather is nice has great outdoor seating.

I always was frustrated at how little there is, especially with the blank slate we had in the strip, waterfront, and even SSW.. hopefully with some more development on the rivers, we will see people look to incorporate.

I will say if you find yourself in Beaver, there’s a couple unique restaurants along Beaver River: The Standard, which is a bar/grill, Kelly’s Pub, and Mario’s dockside grill.

Another one coming to mind is Farmer Baker which is a breakfast restaurant in the Allegheny River trail park in aspinwall. Great place for Saturday morning stops.

Wait for the weather to warm up a bit, hop on your bikes and ride up to West Newton and have lunch by the Yough at the trailside Outpost Eatery. It's a great day out!

I was at the Eat N Park at the Waterfront one time and was like, how easy would it be for someone to pull up in a boat and help people skip out on a check?

I think if people wanted to do this, they could also just leave via their car in the parking lot.
