Broad Street Bistro

Everything was great. Casual menu, but a step above bar food for sure.We were visiting for work and this place was within walking distance. From the outside it's a basic building and appears to be a bbq restaurant.Upon entry you're transformed back in time a bit, starting with the old school kool cigarette machine. The vibe is less restaurant and more bar. Full bar; high tops, and a few booths.We were told to sit where we want. We were immediately offered drinks and menus.The menu styling is very basic. No colors, pictures, bells or whistles. It's a white piece of paper typed up in the default font and laminated. Personally, I found it charming.The server told us about their specials not on the menu: po boy, Mac and cheese, and shrimp.We ordered off the standard menu. I got a Cuban sandwich. Co workers had wings and ribs. Everyone loved their food. We also got a couple of salads. It was colorful, fresh, and abundant. Everything was super affordable. $5 salads and $11 entrees.Service was prompt abr friendly.We were in Pittsburgh suburbs for three days and this was the best food we had. It was casual and straight forward, but friendly and yummy. If you're visiting North Versailles I definitely recommend this place from the options available.

While attending a nearby event, we were looking for something open late with vegetarian options. Although there were not as many vegetarian options as we had hoped, we enjoyed a small salad, and the largest medium pizza I've ever seen. Everything was tasty, and the service was very good, too. There are big comfortable booths, and our server was kind to turn on the World Series for us to watch.The pizza crust was yeasty and thick. We got the round pizza, but were told the square pizza crust is thinner. A good choice for pub food.

My wife and I knew we would be in the area on a Friday night so we did some research and found this little restaurant. We wanted to find a place that had some good drinks and decent food. We walked in and they had a nice looking bar on the right side and on the left there were tables and booths to sit at. Nobody greeted us so we just sat down in a open booth. A few minutes later our waitress politely greeted us and said she would be back to get us some drinks. We were looking at the drink menu but our waitress said that it wasn't up to date. We both ordered a beer and started to look over the food menu. They had decent choices on their menu but I just ended up going with a pizza. I was hungry and it seemed like a good Friday night meal. My wife ended up going with one of their salads. On the menu it says that they use fresh ingredients so it can take a little bit of time to prepare the food. It did take a little time to come out but since I read that I was totally fine with waiting. We weren't too impress with their beer menu here. If you like the typical Bud lite, Coors lite, yuengling this is the place for you. We like craft beer and they didn't have a good selection here for us. The IPA that my wife ordered was skunked. Our waitress let us know what was on tap and I got a Blue moon but she failed to mention that they had a Sam Adams Seasonal which I saw at the bar. Maybe they were out? Anyways the food came out and that's where it kind of got weird here. First the food. My wife's salad was average and my pizza was ok. I did appreciate the fresh ingredients. The breading was good on my pizza but I only got pepperoni and cheese and I probably should have gotten more on it to make it better. The sauce was bland too. I took half my pie home and after reheating it actually tasted better at home. So it was a decent pizza after all. Now the weird part. A older guy who had thrown back a lot at the bar came and joined what looked like a father and his teenage son at a booth next to ours. He was talking loud and it was kind of funny but we would have sat at the bar if we wanted that type of interaction when we were eating. Then our waitress stops by to talk that table. She was explaining how she put in her two week like 8 weeks ago and she doesn't want to be there. She seemed like a good waitress at first but then it seemed like she had other things to do and just wasn't around. Maybe our food was ready sooner and she wasn't around to get it? It also took forever for her to get our box and bill too. It was a little uncomfortable. When we left we actually seen our waitress outside with a guy in a car smoking. I guess that's where she was and clearly didn't want to be there.So overall it's an ok restaurant/bar. Food was ok the beer was below average. We probably won't be back.

This is probably closer to a 2.5 but I just cannot go three. WE were shopping in the area and this is one of the only decently rated non-chain restaurant suggested per the yelp app. When we arrived, we were not greeted so we sat ourselves in a booth along the wall. This place is definitely more bar than restaurant, as the big bar in the one room is where most of the patrons were. When we sat down there was only one other table of approximately six younger people in the dining area. We were reviewing the beer menu when the very friendly server came over. She said the beer lists were wrong, so she began to list off some of their offerings. If you are a Budweiser, Coors, or Miller person, this place is for you. The lack of options was disappointing, but she informed me they had Southern Tier Triple X IPA. I decided on that, but upon delivery, it was not triple X but Nu Skool IPA. Ok not a big deal. We ordered and she disappeared. Literally did not see her again until our food came, which was at least a 25-minute wait. Back to my beer. Word of advice, and I should know better, do not order the oddball beer in a hometown bar. It was terrible. I noticed the DOB on the bottle. It was over 6 months old. Well since our server was MIA there was no one to tell and I lived with it. Quite gross.Waitress arises, at this point another table had become occupied by what appeared to be a father and son. Our now seemingly frazzled waitress, though there was only us and the other table, delivered our food. I ordered a cup of soup, chicken tortilla, and a roasted beet salad with grilled chicken. She delivered the salad, and forgot the dressing. She quickly brought some out though I hardly used any. The salad was not bad. I asked to add red onion and tomatoes since it did not come with and she accommodated me. My biggest complaint, the whole reason I ordered the salad was because it came with roasted beets. I love beets. I eat them all the time and these beets were not only not roasted they were straight out of a can. That hardly makes this salad worthy of being called a roasted beet salad. The chicken was also a little on the tough side. My husband ordered a pizza to which he said was ok. After we ate we sat for a while waiting for the waitress. Now the table behind us, with the father and son duo (guessing here) had a visitor from the bar stroll over and settle down for a nice loud and obnoxious visit. I am not a prude, but if I wanted to hear the f bomb 10 times in a 5-minute span I would go elsewhere. This is not a reflection on the establishment since you cannot blame the staff for other customer's belligerency, but what you can blame the staff for is partaking in the same manner of speaking while talking to that table. Our obnoxiously drunk neighbor asked the waitress why she was down, and she said what I can't just not smile and you think I'm down? I should not even f***ing be here I quit 8 months ago. Um check please!So on the way out we figured out why they waitress was so MIA. She was hoping between two cars smoking with some guy. She probably should have just quit and not come back, she clearly did not care about being attentive. All in all the best thing I can say about this place was it was cheap. So if you are a cheap person and quality does not matter, enjoy.

This is most definitely NOT the Broad Street Bistro from Restaurant Impossible. We--and apparently other diners--went there thinking it was. And it not. It's a dank dive bar with baskets of fried food. To be sure, there's a time and a place for that kind of thing! But we were hoping for the Restaurant Impossible establishment, and that owner has obviously sold out and moved on.

This is a great little bar / restaurant. There is a divider that runs between the horseshoe bar and the double row of tables and booths. But you can step through the divider, so we are all one big happy family. Although I've never sat at the bar, there is always a crowd of seemingly happy people laughing and joking. NOT a drown your sorrows kind of place, more a "Cheers" kind of place.The food here is very good, very freshly prepared and portions are generous. We've been coming here for 30 years - Lighthouse, (something else for a while), Hurricane Alley and now the Bistro.We started with BBQ Pork Cups - a very filling appetizer that could easily be an entrée. Also, Fried Pickles with Chipotle sauce, both great tasting.Hubs had the Meatloaf and declared it very good. Son had the Philly Cheesesteak and fries. Too much for him to finish, so half went home. NOTE: their French Fries are better than the Potato Patch, no lie. I had the Salmon Salad and although I didn't care for the Balsamic, it was on the side - salad was fresh and the salmon was perfect.It's a pretty great food stop, and no longer a dive bar with their recent upgrades. And the service is ALWAYS friendly!

I am glad businesses that follow Covid regulations are open. This is not one. My boyfriend is a big Restaurant Impossible fan so we had high expectations. This place is NOT a Bistro. It is a bar pure and simple. No masks anywhere, including the waitress/bartender. We had no idea where to sit and nobody helped us. Navigating through maskless drunks that were scowling at us we finally sat down. Eventually the bartender came over and gave us handwritten menus and said 2 out 8 items were not available. That's OK. We left. Past the scowling masks. I was disappointed that the decor had changed. It is all black and bar signs. Do your thing, but don't lure unsuspecting people into your no colors bar. BS

We find ourselves in North Versailles pretty regularly and decided to do a quick google search to see if we were missing any hidden gem restaurants. N. Versailles isn't a hotspot for eating, so we weren't expecting to find much. So we googled and BAM... Broad Street Bistro pops up. Apparently it was just on a tv show on Food Network and has gotten a re-model so we went to check it out! The inside of this little bar/bistro looks great! Very modern and chic without seeming too pretentious for the area that it's in. We went around noon on a Saturday and there were a handful of other parties enjoying lunch. Our waitress was really friendly and stayed on top of our coffee re-fills, much appreciated on this cold, drizzly day.The only drawback for us, was that there weren't many vegetarian options :-( This is nothing new in Pittsburgh, but it's always disappointing to have choice your meal from the appetizer section. We ended choosing fried pickles and and white flatbread (spinach, tomato and feta). Fried pickles came as spears and were awesome. Had a nice cajun aioli drizzle. The flatbread was the winner, and it came with a nice balsamic drizzle. The flatbread wasn't too greasy, or too dry... was just really delicious. We'll definitely be hitting this place up again. I'd give it 5 stars if there were some vegetarian selections :-)

We stopped for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered drinks and food. Cheese steak sandwich with fries and burgers with fries. The food was very good. The hand cut fries were cooked perfectly, and seasoned perfectly, that's a huge bonus! Hard to find excellent fries anymore! The cheese steak was loaded with meat, peppers and onions and plenty of cheese the bun was fresh. The burger was tasty, a nice size patty. I asked for medium, and it was a shade more toward well, just a touch overcooked, but not dried out at all. The brioche bun was toasted and fresh. The only negative I can point out is it took more than 50 minutes from the time we ordered, unlit the food hit the table, and that was an order of onion rings we ordered as an appetizer. The sandwiches showed up about an hour after placing the order. The staff and patron were all very friendly. We will return, as we just purchased a business that is very close.

Came in after looking at the menu online, sounding like a lot of good things to eat. When you get there, the menu they give you is nothing like the online menu. Didn't want to eat bar food, so my party and I went elsewhere. My review is based on expectation, not experience per se. Maybe the food is good. It just wasn't what we wanted to try that evening.
