The Eagle - Pittsburgh

Had supper before the game. The foods are good, service was fast, helpful & friendly staffs. Hubby & I enjoyed our meals. He ordered fried chicken sandwich with Mac & cheese. Mac & cheese however was the best. Very creamy & tasty. I ordered chicken 1/4 dark meat with fries (seasoned with garlic). Chicken was good with thin breading & crispy. Fries is a bit dry. I don’t think you need to do reservation, maybe if you come later than 5pm you should , just to be safe. We were there around 5ish so was a bit early. You can also watch wall climbing as the restaurant is beside the Art Landing park in Pittsburgh. Overall, it was a nice atmosphere, good service with friendly staffs

We had been left out in the cold after the restaurant we had attempted and were on a list for fell through. Going to the Eagle after looking for alternatives...the first thing was getting on a wait list for the Eagle, and we were told it be 45 miutes. We waited, and thank God we did, and we walked in 5 minutes before that wait ended. The matron apologized for being 3 MINUTES late after getting us in....on a holiday weekend and the place was packed. We got seated, and all the staff was wonderful and kind, giving real southern hospitality when we had a really rough night. The food hit in a way we hadnt had before, the chicken (white meat 1/4th) was succulent and juicy, not dry in any way. Its obvious they knew their stuff from the breast which is the hardest to nail. Mac and cheese was great (though I would prefer more.cheese sauce). Friends ordered the non alcoholic blackberry lemonade and lamented I couldnt have it (artificial sweetner), but they have never made overblown comments. They were raised in Kentucky and remarked "it tastes like home". I only hope they open in Cleveland sometime because I am making this a yearly trip no doubt.
