Walnut Grill Fox Chapel – Late Night Delight
After catching a movie at Waterworks Mall, my guest and I decided to stop by the Walnut Grill for a late meal. The location at 911 Freeport Road was fairly quiet, with just a couple enjoying the patio when we entered. However, despite the restaurant being nearly empty, we had to wait at the front desk for a while before anyone came to seat us. We could see and hear the employees chatting off to the side, but they were not paying attention to the front. It would have been great to have been acknowledged upon entering, which is why I’m giving this review 4 stars instead of 5.
Once our server, Rashella, greeted us and seated us near the exit in a cozy booth, the service improved. For our meal, we ordered Seared Ahi Tuna, Chef’s Caesar Salad (with added cheese), Chef’s Garden Salad (with added avocado), and the Blackened Salmon BLT. From the moment we placed our orders, each dish was brought out surprisingly quickly, which was much appreciated.
Seared Ahi Tuna ($16): Fresh and perfectly seared, the tuna had a beautiful presentation with a drizzle of sauce, wasabi, and ginger. The Asian slaw added a nice crunch, and the dipping sauce had just the right amount of savory flavor. It was a refreshing start to the meal. (Photos attached)
Chef’s Caesar Salad ($13 + $1 for cheese): The Caesar salad was classic and satisfying. The fresh greens were generously topped with parmesan and croutons, making for a well-balanced and enjoyable dish. It came out crisp and cold, just the way a Caesar should be. (Photos attached)
Chef’s Garden Salad ($14 + $2 for avocado): This salad was vibrant and full of color. The freshness of the ingredients stood out, with the cucumbers and tomatoes adding a juicy element to the overall crunch of the greens. The addition of shredded cheese made it a hearty option. (Photos attached)
Two Blackened Salmon BLT ($36): The standout of the night! The salmon was perfectly seasoned and paired excellently with the smoky bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomatoes. Served on toasted bread, it was deliciously satisfying without being too heavy. The pickles on the side were a nice touch. (Photos attached)
The total cost of the meal, including tax and cash payment, came to $60.50.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed, with a well-lit and comfortable bar area. Televisions played in the background, giving it a casual, inviting vibe—ideal for unwinding after a night out. The service, once it began, was pleasant, and Rashella ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
Overall, Walnut Grill delivered a quality dining experience with great food and a comfortable atmosphere. Despite the slow start at the front desk, I would recommend this location for a late-night bite or after a movie.

The food was significantly better the second time I tried the Walnut Grill! The manager was very generous in ensuring the issues I experienced on my last visit were resolved. Today, I ordered the loaded tater tots as well as the spinach and artichoke dip (both appetizers).
The portions are excellent for both of them. One order could easily feed 2 people, if not more. Be aware that the prices are somewhat high, but the portions make up for it. There was virtually no wait for takeout, too.
Flavor-wise, I really enjoyed the loaded tater tots. The sauce is creamy and cheesy, but not overwhelming. There is plenty of bacon, which is both smokey and sweet. Some pieces were fatty, while others were more crispy. The potatoes were crispy and well cooked.
Quite a good spinach dip as well. There is only shredded cheese at the top, though. Spinach is well cooked and the dip is creamy. The artichokes are little hard, though, and the bottom is a bit oily. They give you loads of chips for takeout (a whole separate large container)! The chips paired well with the dip.
Overall, I’d definitely return to try out some more appetizers, desserts, and maybe the tacos. The tater tots and dip (as well as the staff’s generosity) definitely changed my perception of Walnut Grill for the better!

This was a fantastic dining experience!! The long island iced teas are only 4 dollars on Saturdays and they’re delicious. I had the sirloin and salmon. It was phenomenal and the caesar salad was delicious. She had the wild mushroom chicken and it was delicious. We are both excited to go back and try other things bc the menu is diverse.

The service was painstakingly slow–they probably had staffing problems and were doing the best they could. Food was excellent though and truly enjoyed the Sunday pitchers of sangria. Excellent happy hour deal for appetizers and drinks. Especially liked the brussels sprouts.

We greatly enjoyed our Easter brunch! It was extremely lovely that they were able to squeeze my fiancé and I in for brunch when we called the Tuesday before.
When we walked in, it was clear that the buffet was freshly made and stocked. We were the first reservation seating time of the day (10am) and the prime rib was tender and delicious.
All of the food at the chafers were restocked every so often during the time we were there. The mimosas were made correctly (2/3 Prosecco, 1/3 OJ).
The only negative was the one dish I was looking forward to- the eggs Benedict. The hollandaise on the Benedict was….lacking to say the least. It tasted like hollandiase out of a can, and was so yellow it looked like it. I was disappointed to find out it was made in house by the chef, and left feedback before we left that a new recipe to get the tang of real hollandaise should probably be utilized.
For context- the hollandaise looked like the first picture, versus the correct color in the second (neither of which are from Walnut Grill- but taken off of google images). Call me a hollandaise purest- but it should definitely have that tang to it that makes an egg Benedict delicious!
To conclude- we WILL be back. This is a very reasonably priced buffet for the venue, and we will come back on another Sunday in May where we hope that the hollandaise recipe will have been perfected.

The male host is one of the rudest people I’ve ever met. If it weren’t for our waitress being so kind, I would have left.
Overall the food is amazing and the drinks were just right!

Food was okay, soup could have been hotter. Beet salad was tasty! We also liked our goat cheese flatbread appetizer. We loved the robot. We still got plenty of attention from our excellent waitress, but she just didn’t have to carry all the dishes.

The food and drink are always delicious and I feel are worth the price. I’ve always had fantastic service, and my boyfriend and I have had multiple stellar dates there. I’ve also been there for family hosted events such as wedding and baby showers, and they were phenomenal. Highly recommend.

There are a few things why I am only giving 2 stars. One star for a quick sit down and the appetizers were quick to come out. We had pretzel bites and spinach and artichoke dip. Which they were great. Now for the bad. We got to the restaurant at 2:45pm and got seated right away. We did not get our food until 4:21pm. And all of the food did. It come out. We had to wait another 10 mins to get a steak because they had to recook it. When my meal came out I got a burger and baked potato. It’s not a good picture but the potato had cheese on it which looked like it had been sitting awhile. Did not look like a freshly baked potato. My burger was burnt and all I could taste was burnt burger. 3 of us got a steak and all 3 were burnt and over cooked. We had to keep asking for refills and those took 10 or more minutes to get. The restaurant did not look like it had alot of patrons. So not sure why it took so long for the food. Our waitress dropped a drink and it sat on the floor at least 10 minutes. Many other waiters and waitresses stepped over it without cleaning it up. Luckily no other patrons walked by or they would of fell from the drink and broken glass. We were very disappointed from this place.

Walnut Grill has been a staple in Fox Chapel for years. I’ve been here a number of times and I have always been pleased with the food, drinks and service. The menu is diverse with a lot of creative options -sharable appetizers, sandwhiches, entrees and fun drinks. They offer nice options for kids and are family friendly. During my most recent visit I had the Friday Lent speacial -the fish and chips platter. Everything was very good. Fresh and tasty. I love the salads! The employees are kind and attentive. My only complaint is that sometimes service is a little slow. But that wouldn’t deter me from visiting.
