We’ve driven by 100 times and finally decided to stop. Loved it so much we came back the next day. The food is some of the best we’ve had in Pittsburgh, and the casual vibe is perfect. You can tell the staff love this place. And it has a cool history.

This place is legit. Small local restaurant which was very good. The waitress was all over the place as she was busy but she didn’t miss a beat this evening. Still gave us plenty of attention, checked on us appropriately and food/drinks came out correct. The burger was good and yummy in my tummy. If I loved locally I’d be back. Go check them out and support ‘em! Very reasonably priced.

Carls was a first visit and was very good. Got pretty crowded right after we got there.

This is a real hometown destination place!! Kiera was AWESOME as our waitress! There is so much variety in the menu- endless foodie comfort food to be had. The stuffed peppers were to die for! Great variety of beer styles, too. I will come back over and over again. Highly recommended! Real people, real food, good beer. A Pgh Landmark!!

I thought this was a great bite to get when you’re really hungry and need something to quickly fill you up. I went to Carl’s on a hankering for me and one other person and ordered ››
My Order ››
a 1 lb Fish Sandwich with Tartar Sauce and Coleslaw (10/10)
Shrimp Scampi with Garlic Bread and a Salad (7/10)
Fries (7/10)
The Garlic bread is fantastic. Look at the pics.
Shrimp Scampi tasted pretty good – I got this as a takeout order and seasoned with salt and pepper when I got home. There were close to a dozen shrimp in the order, and the shrimp was really fresh.
The fries were cooked really well. Not overdone, not done in old oil. I think foodies say something here like it has a toothsome bite. You can usually tell the quality of a place by how well they do their fries. If they give them TLC, they’ll generally do well by everything else.
The Fish Sandwich I want to say is my current all-time Lent favorite. In order, my current picks for a Fish Sandwich are:
Carl’s Tavern
Applebee’s (when it’s not crazy busy)
Kuhn’s
Gateway Grill
$ ››
Fish 12.25 x 2
Shrimp Scampi 11.95
Fries 4.00 (I want to say)
Order Total: $44
Sandy took my order. Great folks here. If this is your first time, there’s a bar entrance on the left side, and a sliding door entrance to the dining area next to a smoker’s area.
Seating ››
There’s a dining room area for parties of 4, and a booth area too.
Would I eat here again? ››
I think this place is a good bet for when those ravenous hunger pangs kick in.
How to get here ››
If you’re pulling into this place from opposing traffic, safest way is to take the scenic tour and drive up to the light at the intersection of 22 and Nottingham Drive / Rodi Road, pull a U-turn and as opposed to coming across the opposing lanes of traffic because the merge spot across from Hawthorne drive is a little dicey, and honestly you’re playing with fire.
When you’re pulling out of the parking lot ››
The exit closest to the tavern entrance, is used by folks to pull in. Just be a little mindful / careful of eager drivers.
Btw, I gave this place a 3 on atmosphere because bars are not my thing. I think they’ve done a great job accomodating kitchen orders along with their beverage business.
If you got this far, I recently passed 60K photo reviews on google, so I would like to thank whomever glanced at this, and the pics. If you like a photo, please tap that like button. It ups my rating points and gives me more motivation to do what I like to do, help others find good food.
Ok that’s it for now. Have a wonderful day and let’s catch up soon.

We went to have a few drinks tonight. We could feel the building and doors rattling from the parking lot. As soon as we opened the door we were almost blown out of the place! Why the hell is the music THAT LOUD?!? Like painfully loud. I’m not screaming at the top of my lungs to order a drink. We turned right around and left. Ridiculous!

I searched for fried mushrooms. Finally found a place that sold them. I ordered a fried fish sandwich. The fish looked good and was a pretty decent size, but the mushrooms a total disappointment. They were small, out of a bag and they gave me 7. Alll for $25. Never again. I will make my own because I am a .

If I could I would give this a “0” star rating! I went with my friend this past Thursday to try this restaurant out because It was our 1st time there and we wanted to try something new. NEVER AGAIN! My friend got the potato Pancakes and they were overcooked, I got the French Dip was the nastiest thing ever. The bread was soggy even with the Aus Ju on the side and they only put like 1 piece of meat on each half of the sandwich! The music was also terrible as well! We both will never be going back. The Service was not bad but the food and the music they had playing was TERRIBLE!
