Reviews for Tessaro's American Bar & Hardwood Grill in Pittsburgh, PA

Always good. Cajun burger with home fries! A staple restaurant in Pittsburgh. Did I say the staff is super friendly.

Over an hour of waiting at our table, for two Cheeseburgers? On a positive note, our greeter, server and possibly (a manager)... were very pleasant. We were sat in the back room this evening, eventually the entire back room cleared out & we were stillwaiting for our order, wondering...our server said that the kitchen got hit, "all at once", it would only be about five minutes,or more?...At this point we decided to leave. They comped our Beer, cool. Yet we left so super hungry. My boyfriend and I haveboth work in the food service industry, for years. He is culinary trained & has worked for April Bloomfield, right out ofculinary school. I've managed a handful of NYC restaurants. We saw their kitchen staff, we saw their tables sat - there isabsolutely no reason we should have waited for over an hour, at our table - for two Cheeseburgers that didn't even make it tothe pass. Disappointed as this is our new neighborhood and we've heard such great things about this place. Only at this point,we have zero interest in returning. Read more

The vibe was great, a nice American grill bar. While the food was just so normal, or maybe below the average. Beef burger took a... year to be served, with barely no fragrant of the grill. Not too many options for sides, and got the wrong ones with my dish.The best part I liked was the bread of the sandwich which was soft and crunchy. Read more

After spending the day at The Strip District we stopped at Tessaro?s for dinner. The burgers at Tessaro?s are awesome. The staff... are wonderful and the atmosphere is relaxing and the beer cold. I had the Breakfast Burger with white rice (ask for meltedbutter) and she had the Gourmet Kelly Burger with red skin potatoes. Delicious. Also the area where they are located has a niceamount of other bars and attractions. Tessaro?s is a must try if you?re looking for a GREAT burger. Read more

This was probably the best burger I've ever had. The wood grill added a ton of flavor, was cooked perfectly. Definitely a must... stop if you're visiting the burgh. We got there around 5 and already they were out of ribs on rib night. Good beer list,everyone in my party got a burger and we all agreed it was top tier. Read more

Best burger I ever had. Cool atmosphere of movie past, great staff. Look forward to be there again...and again!

Tessaro's is legend. One of the few remaining timeless "Pittsburgh" spots. Burgers are magnificent. Steaks are fresh cut to... order. Staff is tip top. Tessaro's forever! Read more

We were in town visiting some friends and this place came highly recommended. Being a big burger guy I was really excited to try... this place out and was really disappointed. The patty had little to no seasoning and that quality beef taste just wasn?t there.Overall it was a pretty mediocre burger that you can find at your average neighborhood bar. However the service was great andthe potato salad is worth trying! I hope we came on an off night because I really wanted to like this place. Read more
