11 Best Restaurants in Station Square Pittsburgh

The restaurants in Station Square are unique in their own right and also link back to Pittsburgh’s valued history. Long ago, in 1879, the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad officially opened for commercial traffic and later moved large hauls across the continental United States. Commercial traffic operated until after WWII and now, after years of development, the area has transformed into an urban dining and entertainment district.

Maintaining attributes to the history, the buildings pay homage to their beginnings while providing Pittsburgh with endless entertainment. Here is our list of the 11 best restaurants in Station Square!
