Great Place, Clueless Service

by BranE23

The Sharp Edge is my favorite place in Pittsburgh... the folks below are right...

The food is good, the beer is absolutely awesome and the service usually stinks. The servers are typically a little rude and screw up quite often... it's funny that normally I would be mad at this but at the Sharp Edge it's sort of the culture... you just sort of adapt and enjoy your beer. The beer is the focus and the bartenders are on point at all times... Eating outside in the summertime is great too... nice deck. Trust me.. the positives outweight the negatives... it's a great place. By the way... ignore the comment about the portions. There prices are good and the portions are, as usual in the US, more food than necessary.

• Pros: Awesome beer. Burgers are great
• Cons: Service

fun atmosphere but unfortunately bad service

by shins

It's a fun place BUT THE SERVICE IS HORRENDOUS... we waited 20 minutes before we even got the waiter to come over.... he MESSED up my order bigtime... had to wait even longer for my meal after everyone else's arrived.... and the fries were cold.... absolutely horrendous.. The last time i went there, we also waited a while before the waitress came over.... bad service is a common complaint among patrons at Sharp Edge.. it's a shame that such a well-known and fun establishment can't manage to hire better workers.... it really makes them look bad... oh well hopefully the owner will do something about it.

Great beer, mediocre food, bad service

by skellarjones

If you are looking for a Chimay, this is the place- lambics and other great Belgian beers abound. However, the menu is trying to be a gastropub, and the portions (for what they charge) are terrible. Great beer cannot make up for horrendous service- from extremely long wait times for food to absent-minded and rude servers, the Sharp Edge has seen better days. It's resting on it's laurels- it is one of the best places in the Northeast to get a great selection of Belgians, imports, and micros, but there are better places to actually enjoy a meal.

• Pros: Excellent Belgian selection
• Cons: Service, menu
