I believe the issue is me, someone who is more of a foodie/food snob, than most of those who are voting in this poll.
Right. Yeah Eat N Park..eh. And oh Ritter's? How? Other than being open late why anyone would go there. ... >? just my opinion. I'd rather drive through Wendy's

And the Grand Concourse is the best buffet, but maybe I am the weird one but I cant think of another buffet. Is that really a place to go? Was it ever good, or was it just the location that everyone liked? And apologies to my own neighborhood pizza shop (one of 6) but Fiori's is not the best pizza in Pittsburgh. Slice is 10x better and that is just driving a mile up the street.

Isn't it against the law to live in Brookline and NOT think Fiori's is the best? And if we're talking "Buffets" I would go with the buffet at Taj Mahal on McKnight Rd. Grand Concourse is ok but they have hands down the worst service ever. Been there multiple times for Sunday buffet and it's chaos city. You make a reservation months in advance and still wait over 30 minutes. They're always short-staffed on Sundays as well.

I wouldn't call Grand Concourse a buffet since it is only on Sunday, moreso a brunch like many hotels have.

Buffet to me is like Old Town Buffet, Fortune Star, or even Golden Corral. Served everyday all day.

I was thinking the same thing.

They have food venders but agree that doesn’t make them a restaurant & their beer isn’t just overrated but actually pretty bad. If it wasn’t for their pretty awesome space they wouldn’t have any business.

I think Primanti's is just mediocre---nothing to write home about.

I only ate at Grand Concourse once (invited by a friend's family who was visiting the city), and I thought it was highly-overrated.

I recently discovered that Draai Laag bests Gristhouse in every way, especially the beer. 'Relic' is the best Pittsburgh beer I've had.
