Ok so at this point of Cinco de Mayo, it is possible that I would have thought any food was amazing. However, their french fries out of a bucket and microwaved carnival cheese was out of this world good, and I think they had the cheapest drink prices we had seen all day. Good food. Cheap. I'm in.

As a local SouthSider, I'm giving Nadine's five stars for being exactly what it intends to be: a local spot serving up good, solid pub food in a very friendly neighborhood environment. Living right around the corner, I can't imagine a better spot to chow down on a traditional American breakfast. If you want carving stations and mix-your-own Bloody Mary bars, go elsewhere...but if you crave a real eggs, toast, sides & good coffee spot, accompanied by a real SouthSide atmosphere, walk right in and grab a seat at the bar. I set the bar high for breakfast, knowing that while it seems so basic and effortless, it's also often a disappointment when eating out. Not so at Nadine's. Stopping in recently, during the Polar freeze, I had one of the best "regular" American breakfasts that I've had in ages. Sunny side eggs done perfectly! Not an easy task, thanks Matt! Paired with perfect toast and a luscious slice of ham...I was happy! My friend's over medium eggs were, again, prepared just right, with a side of what she proclaimed to be "the best bacon " she's ever eaten. Your basic American breakfast..but done so well..a treat indeed! Couple that with the friendly conversation at the bar, and if you're really lucky, a visit with the charming Miss Nadine herself and it's about as perfect a Pittsburgh neighborhood experience as you're likely to find. If breakfast isn't your thing, don't hesitate to try any of the daily specials being offered...from homemade soups, sandwiches from the grill, and strong favorites like a killer hot roast beef or spaghetti and meatballs, you won't be disappointed. Portions are generous, the prices are right, and you can settle into a conversation about the Steelers or Buccos before you've even settled in your seat...A real gem on the SouthSide.

We love Nadine's which was visited by Guy Fieri, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The food is prepared right in front of you, and the bartenders are friendly and funny. Owner is sitting at the corner of the bar and always acknowledges his customers. Daily specials, awesome Rueben and burgers. Famous for fried jumbo sandwich and NaNa's pasta. Did I mention the onion rings? Nothing on the menu is more than $6. My only concern about providing such a rave review is that I won't be able to get a seat next time at the quirky neighborhood establishment. .ps. it's smoke -free

Yep,it looks like a hole in the wall but my wife saw it on the food network and we had to check it out. The food is great,the staff os friendly and the prices extremely reasonable. If you are in the area it is a must stop.

Terrible place, Racist Troll Owner and so is her troll daughter who bartends there. I will never set foot in hear again. I can't talk about the food or drinks as blacks aren't welcome in there. So if you wanna get away from us black people, Nadine's is your place. Yinzer hangout.

Had the Rueben, Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes, provolone sticks & jalapeño poppers. Everything was EXCELLENT!!! Server / bartender / cook seems to really love what she does :-) Don't miss this place!

This is a pretty small, nondescript place located off Carson Street--it doesn't seem like the kind of bar that would attract a lot of rowdy activity. So while I was somewhat surprised that it was featured on Guy Fieri's show, it later became more understandable as I saw the friendly and welcoming side of Nadine's. While the place is small, the servers are friendly, and the happy birthday messages behind the bar were fun. The food is great for the cost--everything below $6 or $7, and while the portions are small, they are more than enough and delicious at the same time. The roast beef was indeed sliced very thin and remained tender with the gravy and mash giving it ample flavor. I also enjoyed the country fried steak, another special of the day.

We love coming here to eat. We literally live around the block so I pass by it often and I have to stop the temptation to eat out. I've had many things from here-- mixed grill breakfast, meatloaf, country fried steak.. all winners in my book. They also have great drink prices and a very friendly staff who are all hard workers. They play bartender, food server, cook and a person to vent to. When bobby has a week day off of work, he will wake up and come here for breakfast. He'll then meet me for my lunch hour downtown and say "i'm not hungry.. i stopped at Nadine's" I've heard that line atleast 5 times in the last 6 months

LOVE Nadine's! My boyfriend and I were visiting Pittsburgh for a few days and heard about Nadine's from some locals, so we decided to seek it out. For one thing, when we went... I remember thinking, "Is this the right place?". Looks like a complete dive and did not think that they would be serving anything other than beer and bar food here... but I was wrong! The inside is small, a few tables and then the bar, so we took a seat there. Nadine happened to be working that day with one other girl and boy, is she an awesome lady! Loved her instantly. I ordered coffee, eggs, home fries, and french toast. She made everything literally right in front of us. Cut up a potato right there on the flat top, watched as she made it into home fries... watched her make the mix for her french toast batter.... awesomeeeee. She chatted with us while she made our food and even recommended places for us to go to while we were there. The food was delicious and the prices were amazingly cheap. I would go back again in an instant! (With the Buffalo phone book we promised her!) Highly recommend everyone should try Nadine's. If you go during the week, it isn't as crowded... and the earlier the better.

Wow the place is small,er, cozy. The food, thankfully, was great! Fries baloney with grilled onion and peppers? Oh yeah! Grilled cheese with bacon? It was huge and delicious! Took some of their pasta home, and it was great for leftovers. Only complaint? NO HEINZ KETCHUP. A sin on the burgh!!!!

Amy R.
I have only a few observations: Breakfast served 24 hours a day? Breakfast for dinner? Yes please! I love breakfast for dinner! One of the members of our party ordered the roast beef with mashed potatoes. Ate it all, and wanted more potatoes, so simply said "can I get more potatoes?" Five minutes later, he had a plate of potatoes. This place kinda reminded me of my parents' dining room table, and I love it.

Let me just state for some that I did not come here because of DDD and no, I did not try what was featured on the show. I came here...well, simply because I was hungry and thirsty. Upon walking in this place makes you feel like you are in the wrong place, that is until you are warmly greeted by the bartender. We didn't even have our coats off and were asked if we wanted something to drink. We quickly settled on a draft and were brought menus. Now, people, this place has a very small menu. On top of the small menu there are specials that appear to change often. A note to people also is that this place specializes in breakfast, half of the menu is for breakfast fare. I almost ordered a special but decided to go with something from the menu. I got the BLT and a side of fries; my friend got a cheese quesadilla and onion rings. This is the nice part, everything is cooked fresh when you order it! My BLT was amazing. The bacon was crispy, tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and the bread was just toasted. The fries are fresh cut. So no frozen here, cut and then thrown in to fry. With the light touch of mayo on the sandwich it surely hit the spot. The quesadilla and onion rings looked good too, but I kept my mind on my own plate. This place, even though it is nothing more than a hole in the wall that has been there for "17 years" (I believe that's what the sign says outside) is amazing and charming. It's small in here, so if you have a big party, don't expect to feel comfortable in here. It's dark from the walls and small windows, which to me made it feel warm. The decor is about as typical as you can expect with many places like this. I totally liked that their dishes were mixed and matched. Like they went to Goodwill next door and just bought every plate they had on the shelf. It gives this place the "we don't go with the flow" feel that makes it work. After a satisfying meal the check arrived. That was like the cherry on the cake, for two meals and two drafts, $15. I kid you not. Totally worth checking this place out for food and not just drink.

If I could give this 3.5 stars, I would probably feel more comfortable doing that. I would say it is closer to a 4, than a 3 so since halves are not possible, this is where I stand. If you are the type of person who likes a neighborhood dive, Nadine's is your place. Lots of regulars, very blue collar, very related and SMOKY. That is my only complaint... the smoke. But other than that, where can you get a great priced meal, cheap drinks, and a super friendly staff? After living near there for about two years, I am only upset that I did not get to go there more. Definitely a place worth checking out!

After seeing all the good reviews and seeing the sign saying they have been featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives we were pretty excited to try this place. We had attempted to try out Waffles INCaffinated, but the wait was 1.5 hours. We ate here on a fairly busy Sunday morning, there was no real room to wait while they were cleaning the table, and every time the door opened the cook?/owner?/maybe manager? would yell "CLOSE THE DOOOORR!!!!", as loud as he possibly could. When we sat down, it took at least ten minutes for someone to come give us menus. I ordered coffee (the menu cites only one free refill ,which is weird). The breakfast menu was way smaller than anticipated. If you don't want eggs for breakfast, definitely don't come here. Our order was fairly simple (as there aren't many options), but our food took at least 45 minutes to come. When it finally did, it did not all come together but rather very staggered over many ten minutes or so. I got an egg english muffin sandwich which was extremely comparable to what I could have made at home. Does not come with anything...Nothing was remarkable.. plates, mugs and silverware did not exactly look the cleanest. There was definitely some crusty stuff on the rim of my coffee mug. Annnnyway, wasn't thrilled. Prices are VERY cheap, but you get what you pay for...Will not be back.

definitely the bar experience. Something you have to try at least once.Stopped in for weekday lunch. Husband got the roast beef and mashed potatoes and liked it. I felt the gravy was a bit artificial - the kind that makes you want to keep eating it. I got the chicken parm over pasta. The chicken crust was crispy, sauce was good but nothing special. Service is slow (busy) but good and friendly. Definitely a place to come and watch people. Do not bring children. There is only one table with actual chairs, then there's seating at the bar, and a few bar tables with backless stools. Small and dark - exactly what you would imagine for an old neighborhood bar except it is smoke-free.

Came here from the recommendation of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on Food Network. We got their roast beef and mashed potatoes and Na's pasta, both of which were featured on Food Network. The roast beef and mashed potatoes was pretty decent. It was beefy with the whole thing slathered in gravy. The portion size was pretty large too. Their pasta was on the mushy side and was definitely not as enjoyable as the roast beef. The atmosphere is a bar type area and was a bit smoky, but the service was very friendly. They seated us at the largest table in the back and we even signed their book listing names of people who found Nadine's through Food Network.

Nadine's is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are very warm/friendly. Nadine is there everyday and prepares daily specials that are just like home cooked meals. Matt never forgets a face and will keep you laughing. Everything is prepared right in front of you and exactly as you order. Plenty of free parking for customers right out front (which is tough on the southside). Make sure you ask for Peeps as she is sure to put a smile on your face.

My husband and I had to be in Pittsburgh last week. We had a hotel on the Southside. I remembered that Diners, DriveIns and Dives had been to a Southside place. A quick Google later and I came across Nadine's. We decided to head over there right after the usual lunchtime on a Thursday. The locals were all there but we were greeted right away and given great service. As you do, we each had one of the Specials. A roast beef for him and a meatball hoagie for me. His roast beef was too die for! Openfaced sandwich, smashed potatoes all covered with beef gravy. This is the way we both remembered eating it growing up. The meatballs were gigantic and super tasty. The fries are fresh cut with the skin still on and they were crispy like they should be. We returned there the next two days. By the third trip, we were family. My husband is from Pittsburgh and worked on the Southside during college so it was old home week for him. Between the great food, camaraderie and super low prices, this place is worth the visit.

Phenomenal. Great prices, delicious hearty breakfast, strong coffee. If you are drinking, the drinks are cheap too. Warm, welcoming, attentive service, and a great dive bar atmosphere. Without a doubt, one of the best spots I've found in Pittsburgh.

This place lives up to the hype. This small neighborhood bar is definitely worth visiting. I've been here for both breakfast and dinner. Not only are the drinks and eats reasonably priced, they taste amazing. I must suggest the mixed grill in the mornings and the bacon is top class. Say hello to Earl if you stop in early! If you go in the evenings you must try the meatballs. Crystal is one of my favorite bartenders in the southside so be sure to stop in and ask for her!

Heading back to Pittsburgh for a week and checked out Yelp to make a list of the restaurants we would be visiting while we were there. Nadine's is always on our list. I was reading the reviews when I saw that Amanda B. from Lockport, NY had written a review. She mentioned that Nadine wanted a phonebook from Buffalo, NY and guess what?...we were going through Buffalo (to go to Anchor Bar for the Original Buffalo Wings). I private messaged Amanda to see if she had a phonebook and if she could meet us at Anchor Bar. I didn't get in touch with her right away but when we got to Anchor Bar the super nice bartender gave me a phonebook. Nadine was so surprised and thankful to have it. I was thankful I was able to help out and very happy that Amanda mentioned it in her review! Thanks Amanda!! Oh, Nadine's was terrific as usual. The food is awesome and the staff is super nice. They remembered us and welcomed us back with open arms. Simply love this place. There is no smoking inside anymore which is terrific and if you have never seen a cigarette vending machine - they have one! It's a rare sight!!

It was a very cold day in Pittsburgh on Tuesday- minus 8- but it was a great day to get some serious chicken dumpling soup at Nadine's. I went with friends- we all enjoyed the soup I had the Turkey- well cooked not too dry and the smash with gravy was heaven- my gang had fried bologna sandwich and number #1 selling Roast Beef- It warmed us up- This is a friendly local hot spot that has not let TV stardom go to their heads.
