One of the first things I do when I travel anywhere – big city or small town – is look for a diner. While it might not be fine dining or five-star cuisine, there’s just something so comforting about a diner, and most, even those hidden in a big city like Washington D.C. or Toronto, have that small-town friendliness that’s served with some pretty tasty food. We’ve got a few old-fashioned diners in Pittsburgh that dish up delicious food at affordable prices and promise that old-school feel. Ritter’s Diner in Pittsburgh is one of our favorites.
Have you been to Ritter’s Diner in Pittsburgh? What did you think? Does it rank on your list of favorites? If not, which Pennsylvania diners should we visit instead? Let us know in the comments! If you’re up for an adventure before or after a stop at Ritter’s, head over to Fall Run Falls, the only named waterfall in Allegheny County.
