It’s kinda chic to be a Pittsburgh original and the oldest restaurant in Downtown Pittsburgh. ✨

Serving up history (and some seriously iconic fish sandwiches) in Market Square since 1870. From surviving Prohibition to welcoming famous faces and appearing on the big screen, these walls have seen a lot in 155+ years.

And we’re still here doing what we do best. 🦪🐟

The Cod Rachel is back for another week!

Crispy fried cod topped with creamy coleslaw, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing, all piled onto rye. Our seafood spin on the deli classic is sticking around a little longer — so if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s your chance!

And there’s plenty more summer flavor to go around with shrimp cocktail, crispy fried pickles, and our Picklesburgh favorites — the Pickled Bloody Mary and Pickle Back Shots made with The Original Pickle Shot.

Stop by Market Square and dig in!

This week’s star: The Cod Rachel — fried cod, coleslaw, swiss, Russian dressing, on rye. A seafood spin on a deli classic.

Also still slinging: shrimp cocktail 🍤, our Picklesburgh cocktails (Pickled Bloody Mary + Pickle Back Shots, made with The Original Pickle Shot) 🥒, and crispy fried pickles for a fun summer app.
