One of our favorite sports bars. It doesn't look like much from the outside and could be easy to miss since it is in a strip mall but it is well worth the visit. The beer selection is amazing! Not only do they have 30 beers on tap but they also have coolers of bottles and cans. The best part is their daily specials. You can't beat Thursday nights when most of the bottles or cans are $3 each. When the specials are limited to a specific brewery, you can count on still having great options! We also love their food. The gourmet hot dogs are excellent. I'm addicted to the hound dog and California dog. They are filling even without a side of fries. My husband and I are also big fans of the chicken Parmesan sandwich; The bread really makes the sandwich. I recommend starting with an order of pepperjack cheese balls. Can't go wrong! A great spot for watching a game. The place is filled with tvs and the booths have individually controlled tvs. The staff are extremely friendly and more than willing to change a TV if need be. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Sigh... it's hard to give Carnivore's only a 3-star rating because their food is tremendous, and it's a place I love going back to for this reason, but honestly I have become so jaded with the lackluster service here that I'm on the hunt for a new place close to my good friend's apartment in Oakmont. This is usually our hangout spot. What keeps us coming back is the great food and unparalleled beer/cider/spirits collection. What makes me want to bang my head off a wall is the service. Here is a typical rundown of my Carnivores experience the past FOUR times. 1. Walk in, ready for a night of experimenting with different beers and awesome food. Meander to whatever open table you can snag. Hope and PRAY an employee is watching you so they know to attend to your needs in a timely manner. 2. Have difficulty finding an employee to give you menus, because Carnivores employees wear normal clothing and nothing to distinguish themselves as staff. Wait anywhere from 2-15 minutes for menus. No matter what day I've been in on, waitstaff is also stretched thin, working behind the bar, too. 3. Get menus and wait another 10-15 minutes to order. Hope that between your waiter/waitress running other food, going behind the bar, and fetching drinks from the coolers that they'll remember to bring your silverware. My last visit forced me to employ especially ridiculous tactics just to flag an employee down. He didn't tell us his name the whole night. He assumed from overhearing my friend and I that we wanted a certain appetizer, so he placed the order for it, and brought us the wrong food. It took 15 minutes for that to be remade and corrected. Plates and silverware only showed up after we had already eaten our appetizer with our hands. The waiter forgot to put our entree orders in, too, and didn't realize this after 30 minutes. He'd whiz past us every time we'd try to get his attention. All in all it probably took us over an hour and a half to eat our food. It was really a nightmare, and while I understand, having worked in restaurants myself, the ability to give staff the benefit of the doubt time after time is withering more and more. I truly think for Carnivores to keep their restaurant up to speed on the service end, it would require a full overhaul of the general flow through the place, and staff retraining. At the very LEAST make them wear matching shirts so customers know who to flag down... Carnivores, I want to love you so much. Your atmosphere is a blast. Your selection of drinks is unrivaled. Your food is awesome - big portions, always fresh - but every time I leave I walk out full, but frustrated.

Nice little local sports bar. TVs everywhere, great beer selection, very clean, food for the most part is pretty good and decently priced. The staff is good, and I feel gets a bad wrap. Go during lunch or non-game nights and they are attentive and courteous. During really high traffic nights like playoff games or Saturday nights the service is a little slow just because of the amount of business that comes through the door. They sponsor all kinds of teams to include adult and kid leagues. Very rooted in the community. Lastly, go during weekday lunches and talk to Marty, the owner's mother who works there. She may be the sweetest woman in the world.

Went here for Steelers game. Very large beer selection. Food was very good had the wings they were the small wing dings I like the larger wings but we're pretty good. Fries with cheese was good very large portion. Would go here again

Great selection of beers, seriously I haven't found anything like it in the Pittsburgh area. The food is so-so. Table service isn't terrible, typically nice but slow. The bar service is laughably bad. I wish I could say it's only occasional, but I live up the block and come here regularly to take out a six pack, for which you must pay at the bar. If you are a woman you will be ignored and made to feel like a second class customer. No matter how well I tip (usually at least %20) the bartenders literally walk past me and pretend they don't notice until I raise my voice to ask for assistance. I have been ignored to the point where I just leave $ on the bar and walk out with my beer. The times I've begrudgingly stuck around for drinks there is usually something trashy going on like girls selling test tube shots. My female friends and I have made a game to see how any times the bartenders will attend to and flirt with the male patrons before paying any attention to us. Go for the takeout beer, not for the atmosphere.

Great service, above average pub grub, nice comfy booths, extremely clean and updated environment, great beer and cider selection. Prices are a bit steep but you are getting a very nice facility and friendly staff. This is not an intimate setting. It's not a date night, nor a place I'd suggest any couple dating less than a year go to. This is a "Hey, we haven't' been out of the house in 4 days except for work, we should probably make sure we don't turn into Jeffrey Dahmer and go to Carnivores." Only downside is it gets INSANELY packed on weekends. If you can snag a booth, great. If not, I hope you enjoy being cheek to jowl. If not, you'll be miserable.

I went on a Sunday and had a blast. The following changed my views: Atmosphere: - They have a ton of TVs - They have 2 large garage doors which gives the place a college feel. I was thinknig of asking the waitstaff if I could park my car inside ;-) - You are surrounded by beer. What more can a person want. I recommend comfortable clothing (stretchy pants) Food: Sunday Beer Specials! $3 Sierra Nevada. They had more varieties then Old Country Buffet has deserts! - Pizza was very yummy! Wings (BBQ / Hot) were good as well. Service: The waitstaff was attentive and provided good recommendation. I am now a fan!

We decided to stop here for a late lunch. I hadn't been here in years and it changed so much. It's much bigger with a huge bar, lots of tvs and tables. A huge beer selection, I went with some winter beer selections. All were very good. We had a basket of tater tots and the cheese balls. Both were very good. The tots were nice and crunchy and the cheese balls had a little kick to them. We ordered pizzas. The buffalo chicken one was ok, it could have been spicer. The BBQ chicken one was good. The service was excellent and they had a nice child seat for our daughter. The one downside is the parking lot is small. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.
(3)Chris S.
Could be a 5 star. Haven't eaten yet but food looks good and seems to be enjoyed. I do agree though with what people have said about the bartenders. It's difficult to get a beer. Have been here 3 times for a few beers and every time my glass is quite empty before anyone even glances. They are nice and courteous just kinda going through the motions though. Good selection of beers but really need to step up the sense of urgency and serving.
(3)Autumn L.
I love the atmosphere of this bar. And as a female I love the male bartenders because they don't ignore me. Female bartenders pass me up to wait on a male who just came in. I quite often give money to a strange man to order my drink because it works and the wait isn't as long. Keep hiring male bartenders and tell the females to quit acting so snobby.
(3)Emmin M.
Fantastic beer selection and just an overall great place. A buddy and I went there on a saturday at noon to watch college football, drink beer, and have some good food. All of the above was accomplished. The wait staff made sure we were watching the games that we wanted on our desired TV's. Nobody does that usually but this place did. I was impressed. Ill be going back for sure
(5)Tina D.
Normally I get my food delivered from here but last week I met a friend there for dinner. Waitress was really nice & always checking in to make sure we needed anything. Atmosphere is good As far as the food goes I would love to review it all but I tend to stick with what I love there which is either the Oak barrel steak salad, which is loaded up with real steak cooked to your liking & the burgers which when I want to crush my diet I go for the Mugga burger which is a beef patty with a potato pancake, pierogie & sautéed onions on it with your choice of cheese, I recommend Gouda. All in all this is a local spot that is welcoming to all.
(4)Bob B.
Very solid beer selection and the food is ok. However, why I bump them up a star is because they donated pizza after my sons' basketball league was over. Reaching out to the community is a great gesture and will keep me loyal. Well done.
(4)Jenn T.
Customer service sucks! Finding a table is easy... Getting someone to wait on you is nearly impossible. Will never go back
(1)Ryan K.
Changed their pizza. It's frozen pizza now. So disappointing. Still a decent place to grab a beer and some wings. Sandwiches are pretty good. Wings are above par. The pizza thing really upsets me. It was some of the best. I can't believe the switched to frozen pizza.
(2)Victoria D.
Come here usually once a week and I love it. Have been here for lunch and dinner and just to drink. It gets packed, but never so bad that you have to wait too long for a drink. Has good bar food and an amazing selection of beer on tap and bottles. Servers and bartenders are great. Always friendly and always attentive. Their prices are good and it's a fun place to go for a casual dinner and drinks. I would say their sandwiches are probably the best thing on their menu. It gets loud so I wouldn't recommend it for a first date, but definitely somewhere laid back and local. Try it! and try the Chocolate blockhouse ale. YUM

I have been to Carnivores on business and both pleasure, so I can give you guys a little scoop here. First off, who doesn't love a great brew for any sporting event? Carnivores definitely is a cool spot to watch some pigskin or the big game once in awhile. The beer selection contains a variety of solid beers, I can definitely encourage you to take down some beers during some Steelers games or college football or whatever the heck you want to watch! Food = a deep variety of American, (wings, nachos, ect) and you can find things to share/ split that's your best bet probably, but that's just me. A sweetheart family owmed business that is better than most, which is a must in this industry.
(3)Molly H.
First visit to Carnivores. A friend is moving this way so a group of us met for drinks/food. Top points: Beer. Great draft selection and bottle selection. Fair prices. Bar. Large bar area...plenty of seats. Service. Our waitress was excellent. Mediocre points: Atmosphere. Very large open area which makes it pretty loud and not the cozy feel I expect with a bar/restaurant drawing craft beer enthusiasts. It's seems a bit like a chain sports bar. Food. Eh. Not bad, but not great. I had the shrimp/lobster roll which was basically steamed shrimp and lobster on a bun. Tried the onion rings...greasy. Maybe I should have tried something like a burger or different sandwich. What I saw for the others was not terribly impressive. Looking for a way to try a lot of different beer? Go here. Looking for great bar food? Maybe have a few drinks and move somewhere else for a good burger.
(3)Dima P.
Good food, big portions, a lot of beer and cute servers. The place is always busy and noisy, but seems to be a local hang out spot. Overall it's one of our favorite sports bars when we feel like watching a game with some wings.
(4)Kate M.
Lives up to its name. Carnivores. They have big meaty sandwiches, the Italian Stalian is my ultimate favorite! And the loaded tater tots are a go to with friends, tons to share. Huge beer selection including my favorite Summer Shandy's and Red's Ale.
(5)Michelle F.
Went in today with a girlfriend for lunch. Between the great food (they practically brought back the tater tot! The forgotten potato!), the endless drink selection (don't go in if you don't have your ID cuz it's in John's jurisdiction, and he WILL make a citizens arrest), and the very sweet waitress (bee-bopping around with her Farrah Fawcett hair), we were extremely happy with our visit! We didn't quite realize what a family affair the place was until today, and they all had us laughing and smiling the whole time. Momma even brought us over some free popcorn when we sat down. Had a great time guys! Keep it up!
(5)Liz C.
Great beer selection! Wait staff is awesome! And the food is good too! Great for a sporting event or just hanging out one night.
(4)Adam S.
Have been here a few times and food is usually good. Beer selection is great. Service is usually good as well. Parking is terrible. Small lot and few spots on the street. All in all I recommend.
(4)Rich J.
Always great sandwich's and pizza, fantastic homemade potato chips. Want beer ton's of beer on tap, and hundreds of types in bottles to choose from.
(5)Faith A.
From what I understand, this place looks much better now than it once did but I never had the opportunity to see what it was like before to compare. But I have to say, I was not disappointed at all with how the place appeared. Clean for a bar, and nice and roomy, good bar food. The one complaint I have is the not so attentive wait staff and bartenders... they could use a lesson or two in customer service and work ethic (doing your job). They seemed more concerned with chatting with one another than taking care of the patrons.
(3)Roswell Einstein M.
Good pub fare! Things I like...good bottle/draft beer selection, pizza Things to improve...I am fish sandwich freak - no real good one here.
(4)Mary G.
Tons of tvs. If you're at a booth you can watch whatever you want. Their beer selection is awesome, you can mix and match six packs. The staff is great and they know their beer. They do their best to accommodate special orders in the kitchen. The marinated steak salad is great. I haven't ever been disappointed at Carnivores.
(5)Emily H.
Carnivores has great food, a nice selection of beer and a pretty cool atmosphere. All the waitresses seem pretty friendly although the bartenders seem not that friendly...there is no smoking here, lots of TVs, but PARKING SUCKS!!!
(4)Toby Y.
With the recent expansion, Newer bar, out door seating, and NON-SMOKING inside, this place gets 5 stars. The owners are very nice, and the barkeeps, well, are easy on the eyes. The food is good, and they have a plethora of televisions to watch games on. I highly recommend this place.
(5)D T.
Food here is very consistent and tasty. Service is attentive and prices are very reasonable. Good selection of beer with the atmosphere of a sports bar. Be warned. This IS a smoking establishment. Our favorites are steak wrap - grade A, with freshcut fries that are nicely prepared and not soggy. We also like the Roni-roll which is a pepperoni roll of ground pepperoni, cheese, and a liitle bit of sauce rolled in a nicely baked pizza type crust. This is a favorite lunch place but you will gain weight if you eat here much.
(4)Gordon G.
Slow service and just not quality. I am not a fan of TV's in every square inch of a place, but that might be good for some. No smoking is a good thing and certainly crushes the Oakmont Tavern.

I ate here this past Wednesday evening with my girlfriend while attending a charity event for Family House. Due to this we had a buffet of food and I am not sure that it is 100% representative of the normal food that is served here. In any case my initial impression as we drove by this place was that it was small. However that was proven to be unfounded whenever we got inside the restaurant as it occupies quite a large space and has ample seating. There are also many TV's throughout the restaurant including individual ones for the booths and I imagine that it could be quite a cool place to catch a game at. The beer selection here is definitely one of the better in the city of Pittsburgh. They boast of having over 30 beers on tap and more than 500 in their cases. Due to this I was able to order some beers on draft which I had not tasted before and also find some more in the cases. In the end I took home a 6 pack of craft beers for $15 and was more than satisfied with my purchase. We started off the evening by ordering some beers which were brought promptly by the waitstaff. Shortly thereafter the buffet was uncovered and it had on it a salad with blue cheese and strawberries, lasagna, some type of chicken and peppers and a cous cous. All of the food was decent with the only real standout for me being the salad. Having both the strawberries and blue cheese combined with their vinaigrette was very nice. After dinner was completed they put some dessert onto the buffet which was both peach and cherry pies. Since I was full by this point, I decided to only take a little bit of each. The filling of them was nice but was more than overshadowed by the amount of butter on the crust. It essentially covered my mouth and left me with a not so great taste. It ended up being so pervasive that I asked my girlfriend for a piece of gum to cancel it out. The bottom line for me is that I would probably head back here in the future. It would not necessarily be for the food but more for the beer selection and environment as I would like to experience watching a big game here.
(3)David B.
The food is very good. This place is usually crazy/busy/hopping, so if quiet and relaxed is the decor you are looking for, I don't think this is the place. I'd like to put to rest the statement that the waitresses are unfriendly, we observed a lot of attentive, friendly service, especially by our waitress, Heather. The wings are excellent, very tender and juicy. They just added a new hot dog menu (in last 6 months), so you might look for that.
(3)Doug R.
this is a fun place to go for great food and a terrific selection of beer. the service iscpretty darn good too for being so crowded.
(5)Dave L.
Good beer selection, friendly bartenders, and had one really good hot dog that I'm still thinking about days later. For $3.95 you can get a nice sized grilled all beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun with pretty much any topping you could want on a hot dog, and you get an unlimited number of toppings. Good place to watch a game too.
(4)Amanda B.
Great draft selection. Tons of TVs and very clean. Great sandwiches.
(4)Rachel B.
This place is a hidden gem. Beer choice is fantastic, and love going to the coolers to pick my own bottle. They will also run specials for certain bottles, so that is a nice treat. I have been here a few times and all the food I have had is good. My favorite is any of their wedgies. Big and stuffed full of delicious goodness, they hit the spot every time. Wings here are also good, so check them out. Service here can get slow at times, particularly on game nights, but it's never so out of control that I've had to complain. Carnivores is set up with so many TVs that it's perfect to watch a game with friends. It is also a great place for groups. I have also seen people bring kids in during dinner and lunch hours, however I would not recommend later in the evening as people are drinking. Can't wait for the Steelers to begin, so I have an excuse to go back! :)
(4)Jason B.
Great beer selection, if you order Bud, Miller, or Coors you need to be slapped ;-). Wings - very good, garlic parm mixed with hot - not on the menu but should be! Great staff!
(4)Brent S.
I haven't been to Carnivores since the late 90's. The place has grown a bit and so has the beer selection. Good crowd and great bartenders/servers. I will return...
(4)Kevin O.
One star for the incredible beer selection that Carnivores has to offer. Otherwise, the experience was a complete failure. The wait staff was exceptional at looking through you and pretending you weren't there. We were only separated by a foot and a half of bar, but it might as well have been two and a half miles. They managed to screw up both of our orders despite the fact that 90% of the menu is a variation on the same theme (i.e. meat on bread with 2-3 ingredients). We might have said something to a more attentive wait staff, but decided that it was best to make due and eat what we were given less we go hungry. After waiting half an hour to put in an order and another half an hour to get two hot dogs I was willing to make due. I'll never be able to convince my wife to go back. I may go back just for the beer, but you better believe that I'll be ordering two at a time. A guy can get pretty thirsty waiting at a place like this. I posted our experience to FB and the consensus was that you can maybe go there to drink; otherwise, eat elsewhere.

I just discovered the PIZZA at Carnivores...boy, what I've been missing!!! If rating just the pizza, it would be FIVE STARS. All of the ingredients were super fresh. The dough was soft and steamy, light but with good texture. The perfect amount of sauce and cheese was provided, and then topped with shredded pepperoni and mushrooms. The pepperoni was superior. I haven't had pizza this good since visiting the infamous Vincent's Pizza Park in its hayday. Hot dogs are also delicious there, and I'm not really a hot dog person. ANOTHER UPDATE on ATMOSPHERE. Carnivores has really turned into a college-age crowd. Terrible thumping music, too loud to hear yourself think let alone talk. Pizza take-out from now on. SERVICE continues to be mediocre to slow. But it was worth it for this great pizza.
(3)Cassandra M.
Food is good. Great beer selection. Service is somewhat lacking, but if you're not in a hurry its a good place to sit back and enjoy good food and good beer!
