Best Lunch Restaurants in Shadyside

Delicious food, good service, but a little overpriced.

We had new years brunch here and it was my first time. They were short staffed so I was expecting long delays but the waitress was fantastic, and very knowledgeable, and there were no delays. We shared the pierogis and the salad to start and both were fantastic. Everything is made in house and from local ingredients. The burger, chicken sandwich and pork chop were also top notch. It’s clear they are passionate about quality. We will definitely be back!

Great food and good service. Well taken care of and out in an hour on a Saturday night. Cocktails were very well made and Vegan options were offered for my wife. Will be back!

My daughter & I went to Ritual House for the first time last night. We got seated in a booth near the bar. We ordered a bread board and the edamame, both were good! I ordered the Asian inspired chicken and got the sauce on the side, as recommended by the waiter. The chicken was moist and the breading perfectly done! The sauce was on the sweeter side (almost like syrup), so I am glad it was on the side. Didn’t care for the slaw. My daughter got a grilled chicken Caesar salad, she said it was good! We will definitely be back to try some different food.

I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.
