Their handmade soups and burgers are excellent! Located further up on Carson so you don't have to deal with all the chaos. Great outdoor seating.…

No place is perfect, so I don’t give fives, but this is close! Excellent beer menu including many local brew specials. Food menu may be limited, but all the items are very good to excellent and, non-meat eaters, take note, almost all items are available as a vegetarian option. I am an equal opportunity eater and I think their Seitan Wings (Veggie Wings) are top notch; I suggest the BBQ sauce. The burgers are all great and they really do a true Rare Cook. Favorite nibble or starter is the Big Rings: onion rings done with a Black & Tan beer batter. Or maybe the Tangled Spokes: breaded Zucchini slices. Whatever you pick, it’s good! Also a big plus is the place is family friendly (at least afternoons and early evening) and the bicycle themed decor must be seen to be appreciated. PS: Don’t miss the poster about Frank Lenz, a Pittsburgh cyclist who disappeared on a round the world cycling trip in 1894.
A fun place to eat with surprisingly tasty creative burgers. This is a fun place to eat with its creative cycling themed menu and decor. It is located in a charming storefront on East Carson Street on the Southside. This is not one of those countless goody greasy Southside bars with cheap beer and ho hum food. There are plenty of salad choices, the soups are good, and if you ask there is an entire alternate menu of healthy options. My favorite part, however, is not the healthy options; it is the hamburgers. It may not be Tessaros, but this is in the upper echelon for Pittsburgh burgers. I loved the Dirt Rag Delight Burger, which has a most unusual topping of Wholey’s rich homemade peanut butter. It sounds bizarre but it is excellent and adding bacon makes it even better. I like that is has different seating options to suit your mood. I like the sidewalk cafe seating, but there is also a lively bar atmosphere or a quieter seating area in the back. There is bike parking in front of the restaurant and the walls are covered with bike parts, cycling jerseys, and murals. I cannot believe how many times I walked or drove by it without trying it. I will have to make up for lost time.
Fun Place – Food OK. Fun atmosphere with all the bicycle theme, bikes and bike parts, artwork on the ceiling panels. Some autographed cyclist jerseys. OTB has some interesting options to eat and daily specials. I remember OTB for winning the Southside soup contest a while back but decided to forgo the soup on this warm day. Some burgers with peanut butter and veggie options. Most of the sandwiches have a name that relates to cycling. Had the Bicycle Times BLT that is a BLT with pepperjack cheese, fresh avocado (if you can find it, mine was MIA) and a fried egg with chipotle mayo served on a fresh bun. The sandwich was good because bacon & egg sandwiches are good but the avocado was MIA.Our server was really busy but did a real nice job of stopping by and refilling our drinks.
Some of the worst food I’ve has in a while. The population in this neighborhood is used to better food than this. You have got to put out a better product
North Park OTB is fantastic. Got my meal before I was done with my app so service was not slow! Great beer list and vegetarian options. Very cool inside!
Horrible service, bad vibe. Why would u only have 1 bartender on a Saturday night?! It took forever for us to get drinks and then to top it off it was so hot inside and the female bartender was so nasty to us, we left without ordering anything. I would not recommend this bar over some of the other, better bars in South side.
Good burgers. The food is excellent, great burgers and salads and sandwiches, but the service is seriously uneven. You have to have a little patience to go here to eat. Ok, a lot of patience. But it will be worth it.Order extra drinks because you may never get a refill.
