Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Good To Be Here! Serving Pittsburghers since 1930. Whether you're enjoying our food at our restaurant, at home, or at a wedding - Atria's makes it Good to Be Here. Atria's History The original Atria's in Mt. Lebanon was owned by Italian immigrant Joe Atria and dates to 1930. It began as a grocery store, then expanded into a barbershop and dry cleaners. In 1933 prohibition ended and Atria's began to sell beer. Along came food to feed the hungry - both highbrow attorneys and blue-collar working men alike. In 1998, Pittsburgh natives Pat and Nancy McDonnell transformed Joe Atria's historical Mt. Lebanon landmark into an upscale casual restaurant that today serves up American classics in neighborhoods all around the Greater Pittsburgh Area

    Bistro 19 is always great. We love going here but can not get last minute reservations for a weekend. This time we went on a Monday night and reserved ahead of time. They were busy but not full. Service was great as well as food.

    Food was good and service was friendly but it took forever to get any food or drinks. We probably would've ordered more but we got tired of sitting there waiting for everything.

    Firebirds is one of our favorite places to dine. We think the food is excellent and the service is great! A big shout out to Tyler the manager who visited our table a few times while we were dining to make sure everything was fine and if there was anything he could do for us or if we needed anything! Now that is a great manager! Tyler you are a asset to Firebirds! Thank you for being so kind. ( The lady and the 2 guys that dined Veterans day and on the 15th! Booth closest to the restroom and cooking area.. )

    Once again we had a wonderful experience at Mitchell's. We visit about once per month as we live close by and enjoy the food and the people there. We were greeted in a friendly manner and quickly seated. The food took a little longer than usual to be delivered to the table but it was excellent. Kelli, our waitress, was attentive and helpful.
