    Top 10 Great Cheap Places to Eat Downtown

     


 

1. Sree's Foods  |  Map

Founded by Sreevardhan Mekala (a.k.a. Sree) and Vydehi Mekala (a.k.a. Mrs. Sree) in 1991, Sree's Foods brings authentic Hyderabadi Indian cuisine to Pittsburgh. The couple came to Pittsburgh from Hyderabad, an ancient city in southern India, in 1989. Seriously, its addicting.

 

2. Andy Warhol Museum Cafe  |  Map

Run by the Big Burrito Company, the Warhol Cafe has good food but you're really going for the atmosphere of a great collection of artwork.

3. Fernando's Cafe  |  Map

Fernando cares about his food and his customers. This sub and pizza shop is conveniently located near the convention center. Quick and inexpensive.

4. Mike & Tony's Gyros & Shish  |  Map

Quite possibly the best gyro you will ever eat. Located on Liberty Avenue, this Authentic Greek Mediterranean restaurant has great food all around.

5. The Original Soup Man  |  Map

When Al Yeganeh opened his Soup Kitchen International in Manhattan in 1984, little did he know that in a few short years, he would be immortalized in pop-culture history. The "Soup Nazi" now can be had in downtown!

6. Golden Palace Buffet  |  Map

The Golden Palace Buffet is a comfortable all you can eat buffet stocked with great Chinese food. Its hard not to go for seconds. 

7. Wholey's  |  Map

Located in the Strip district on Penn Avenue, Wholey's is a Pittsburgh tradition and offers delicious great fried fish and sushi.

8. Sammy's Famous Corned Beef  |  Map

Order a "famous corned beef" sandwich.  It's good. They are delicious and the beef is fresh and tender.

 

9. Peppie's Map

Home of the "Rothlisburgher" (Which is actually on Wikipedia!) Peppie's is located in the strip district as well as downtown and offers subs with fries. A great cheap place for a bite. 

10. Primanti Brothers  |  Map

It would be hard not to associate Pittsburgh with "The Almost Famous" Primanti Brothers Sandwich. Over the past sixty-odd years Primanti’s has grown from a simple late-night diner to an acknowledged Pittsburgh Institution.
