Third Time Not the Charm

by GoodEatinGuy

I have been to this place three times. I will not hold it against an establishment for one bad experience anyone can have a bad day. Out of the three times I have been the service was horrible at best. I will say that it was a little better at the bar. The appetizers were good. The seafood entrees were average, I have no complaints. For the price it was worth it. However, the burgers and steak were disappointing. They were very dry and the wait for the food to arrive was very long. I do not recommend this place for anyone who is looking for anything more than a bar.

• Pros: Seafood prices
• Cons: Service, any food other than seafood

put a boxing ring in this place!

by calvinklein

you don't have to go to the movies to see a drama/horror/comedy...just come to the baltimore house!!! there are more fights that occur there than in a boxing ring!!! if it's such a family business then why don't they maintain that reputation??? it really is a joke and has been going down hill for years! the only time you hear something decent about this restaurant is if it's from somebody close to the family. such a beautiful building with an ugly staff of workers! hey, don't blame me! that's just my opinion!

Great Food and Fun

by dudewhat

For all of the people talking badly about the Baltimore House, they're just going on the untrue rumors that someone else probably told them. Anyways, family owned to me means real people, good food, none of that corporate smoke blown up your a_ _, and yes maybe a little inconsistency. Because maybe that family will try to help anybody and give them a chance by giving them a job. And whoever said places like this don't last forever, its been there for over 20 years and I don't think it's going anywhere soon. Also I think people expect too much, it's not somewhere you'd put a suit and tie on to go eat. Anyways I think the owner tries really hard to run that place and that's all they can do. Overall it's food is great and so are the staff.

• Pros: adequate parking. good food, entertainment

Great Time!

by jcp9872

We had a great time at Baltimore house when the band imposter was playing. Food and service were excellent, although the steamed shrimp were a bit over cooked. Overall, the people - customers and staff - were great. Very gay friendly. The decor had a very New England Fish house feel to it which was fun.

• Pros: good looking crowd, reasonable price
• Cons: shrimps overcooked

Best seafood in Pittsburgh

by bigworm311

The Baltimore House makes you feel like you are at a family restaurant by the ocean. When some people hear Seafood they expect the red carpets to roll out at the door but not here, it is a more casual atmosphere. The large staff there seems to know each other very well and the food is execlent. I have eaten at many seafood restaurant in Pittsburgh and I would definitly say that Baltimore House is the best around.

• Pros: Food, Vaule, Service

NOT BIRTHDAY WORTHY

by luvyalioness

Is there a thing as a good server? Our host lead us all over, they were seriously understaffed in both quantity and quality. The waitress disappeared for minutes on end, our drinks were dry more often than not. The Prime Rib, one of the specialities, was dry. And the place was uncomfortably warm. Might be a great bar to hang with buds, but not a family place for a birthday.

• Pros: Nice bars, Nice decorating, Curb appeal
• Cons: Weak staff, Marginal food, too hot
