The Blue Goose Saloon

Burgers are top notch - maybe slightly juicier than I expected. Staff very friendly and helpful. Owner - Benze - seen hugging multiple patrons. Made me feel like your with family. Will definitely add this restaurant to our regular rotation.

Very nice restaurant with very kind staff! My food was delicious! Hot and fresh! Prices are a little high for burger type food but I understand why! BGS is still a good spot! Definitely my new #1 place to grab a bite from a local mom & pop business!

Spectacular service by Jlinn who quickly took our drink orders, shared her favorite menu items, kept our drinks filled and checked on us; Delicious food served hot and fresh: zucchini planks (think and hand breaded), bacon wrapped sausage stuffed jalapeño peppers (mouth-watering), cheese tortellini with chicken in a Cajun sauce (fresh tomatoes and jalapeños in a light sauce; just enough heat for flavor; generous portion; cooked perfectly); and wraps grilled with meat and vegetables-- 100% Deliciousness: Compliments to the Chef; Atmosphere relaxing with dim lights, live music (not too loud), clean and neat; modern and cozy decor; Outstanding owner who brought food out and checked on us several times; 100% amazing 29th Dating Anniversary: Thanks for making it an enjoyable dinner!; 100% Recommend for a meal out in the dining room or a drink at the bar 😃 Looking forward to stopping bye again 😀

Great little place! Just moved into the area and I think I've found my new regular spot! Food and service are fantastic!

My wife and I stopped in for dinner for the first time at the Blue Goose. Definitely will go back. Very nice inside, the staff was friendly and attentive. Food was very good.

Absolutely wonderful place to eat and drink. Very welcoming!! Burgers are very delicious and will fill you up. Jlinn has a great personality and was attentive to our needs and checked on us often! Will definitely return!!

Great atmosphere if you’re looking for a low key place to meet friends for an adult beverage. Didn’t try the food so I can’t comment to that but the bartender was nice and our group had a great time. Would definitely try again if I’m ever in the area.

Old dive bar. I gave it 2/5 stars for the bacon wrapped poppers and the bartender who was very attentive. . Both me and my buddy went in. The burger was far from good and the steak I got was miserable to say the least. I don't send food back but was contemplating it once cutting into it. Asked for medium rare and it was cold in the center. Very underwhelming.

Very friendly bartender I had when I ordered takeout and picked it up. The Shepherds Pie I had was good and hearty. The crab quesadilla we tried was a very good appetizer. The only thing I did not enjoy were the tater tots. They tasted like they were fried in old grease. Nice menu and service overall.

I went there and ordered one drink. Ordered food . The owner let a non certified chef and a 16 year old kid cook my burger let alone a frozen burger. Then the bartender decides to chat with a guest and ignore my food at the end of the bar in a bag. I went to eat my burger and grease came spitting out and burning my face. The owner should have cooked the burger instead of chatting endlessly. All frozen food nothing like the old place. This is like a McDonald s restaurant

This place is a true gem!! We were in town for the football game and stumbled into here! One of the best decisions of the trip! From the moment we entered we felt like regulars even though we were four states away from home! The staff was so friendly and the other customers were as well! The owner cooked our food that was out of this world!! The best Brussel sprouts in the world, I'm still craving them!! The steak was cooked too perfection and was so thick yet tender and melted in your mouth. The thing that really stuck out was after we paid our bill the owner chased us outside to thank us for coming in and told us good bye. The guy knew we would probably never be back but treated us like family despite that. Next time we come to the "Burgh we will stop in here for sure!! Stop in and try this little honey hole

Good food, great burger, and good service.. Look for the drink specials.. Tuesday is awesome..

Remarkably great pub food and friendly, welcoming service. I went for the live music, but was impressed how delicious the food was. The steak salad was one of the best I've tasted. The beer list could use some improvement, but I enjoyed a Bell's Two Hearted in a bottle.

I live close but never got to go here until today. What a great spot! Friendly, welcoming and attentive employees. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and tater tots and would recommend. Many options on the menu, and something for everyone. Seating was great also, nice booths for dining. They have bar seating also. So glad to have been introduced to this place and will go back!

What a great experience. The staff was so welcoming. Sue, Mary and Jalyn were AMAZING . The food was so good. Loved our "local" Valentines dinner. We will definitely be back. Thank you All.

If you're driving too fast on Mount Royal Blvd. you might miss this cool little place. Benze's Blue Goose Saloon is a little bit of everything and has something for everyone. It is an unassuming neighborhood bar with lots of locals and Keno. It's a restaurant with dry aged steaks that are out of this world. It's a sports bar with TVs tuned to national and local sports. Last night the small live music area featured the 2023 Western PA Blues Challenge winner, "Big" Bay Allen (Outstanding - check him out!) The bar has standard staple beers and cocktails. The welcoming bartenders are attentive and friendly. The creative and very tasty food specials change daily. The chicken tenders are marinated and hand-breaded. Highly recommend! Slow down and stop by the Blue Goose Saloon. The owner, Benze, is there pretty much every day after 3 - maybe in the kitchen, maybe behind the bar - but always willing to chat. Tell him Todd and Alisa say "hello!"

What a hidden gem! This place is a dive bar on the outside but Gastropub on the inside (at least as farbas their food is concerned). I am normally a very particular about my Burgers but this place is a bang-up job! I had the Swiss alp Burger and it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I can't wait to come back soon for another. Tuesday is Grey Goose tiki special day. My friend and I tried every cocktail on the list and they were all spectacular! Definitely try the chocolate tini after your amazing dinner.

The food and staff here are great. Just moved to the area and can't wait for this to be our regular. I love the no bun burger, yes I cut into it before I took the photo. The burgers are cooked perfectly but so juice.

Very happy with our meal and service at the Blue Goose Saloon. This is a friendly atmosphere with great service. We really enjoyed the food. It was fresh, tasty and hot. Will definitely go back!

Ok, so maybe I didn't have the greatest first experience here. Since this review, I've been back a couple of times. I must say, they have not disappointed me since. The Mushroom Swiss burger has been my go to here at the Blue Goose Saloon. It's HUGE, pacts a punch and is no nonsense. The drinks are great and Dave does a great job at bartending and making sure customers are having a great time and are taken care of ! They have Karaoke every other Saturday that's a hit ! Come check out the Saloon!

Another great night at The Blue Goose. Music, service, and pours, all always perfect. It's the spot.

Wow, what a hidden gem! We weren't sure what to expect when ordering since we haven't heard much but I'm shocked that this place isn't talked about more. The food we ordered was amazing, affordable, and we can't wait to go back.

The staff at the Goose survived COVID and are still providing great meals and friendly service. I love how the owners come out to talk to customers when they have a chance. The Goose remains my Go To place for a great meal in a welcoming environemnt.

This place is a nice option for anyone in the Etna area for sure. A short ride up the hill totally worth it.

Good place to hang out and drink ... food is decent ... karaoke is fun ... bartenders are nice ...

We have stopped here several times in the last few months and have sat in bar and the dining room. The space is welcoming and the staff very enthusiastic about the menu and specials. I keep ordering the buffalo chicken wrap because it is the best I have ever had. Reluctantly say no to the fries but they are quite good. We haven't been disappointed with anything we have tried. It is great to have a place like this in such an iconic Pittsburgh neighborhood. Just an enjoyable and tasty spot.

First time to the Blue Goose. Waitress was very friendly and polite. We had the zucchini for an appitizer and was delicious. My wife got chicken fingers and I got a burger. My wife's tenders were very good how ever 6 was a bit to much. I would have rather her gotten 4 with fries included as the fries are not included. My hamburger came and was undercooked (which happens). I sent it back then the cook returned it and apologized. Overall very good and we will definitely return.

I was able to sit outside which was great for Covid. My waitress was super friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. I got their zucchini planks and a classic burger. Amazing. They even gave me a free cupcake at the end. They had a good drink special too. Will definitely be going back!

Nice neighborhood place. Good food good pricing. Great service. Not loud. Can't wait for the menu to expand. Would love to see some sauce options for their delicious burgers. I'll certainly keep this on my radar for return trips.

We were out shopping and wanted to stop for a bite to eat. My partner and I always make a game of it and stop at next restaurant/bar that we come too. We stumbled across this place and were hesitant on going in. On the outside it looks like it would be a typical bar food joint. It was one of the moments of "Don't judge a book by its cover" situations. The food was great. We got zucchini planks, a burger, and chicken. All was delicious. We didn't try the soup but the Waiter told us they are known for their soups... maybe give those a shot. The only thing we regretted was not knowing about it before!

Lets talk fresh, generous, handmade crab cakes at the Blue Goose!!! They are outstanding!!!!! AND the steak is spot on!! What are you waiting for?

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is what it says. The burgers are fresh and good. The offer specials which change so that's a plus!!!

We were so pleased to find the Blue Goose Saloon open after the first viewing of my deceased father. Our entire extended family were warmly accommodated in the cozy dining room. The owner himself saw to our every need. We had a wonderful late night supper and the drinks were excellent. We were able to toast my father in grand style. Our entire group, including children, found something to love on the menu. The chicken tenders, pirogies and Italian wedding soup were homemade and perfect. I personally enjoyed my Pittsburgh Salad with NY strip steak. The meat was tender and cooked perfectly, the salad and fries were fresh and tasty. I live in New Jersey now, and that salad was the perfect taste of home. My family members all raved about the steak burgers. Each one was perfect. Bob and his team are doing a wonderful job with this hometown, comfortable bar and restaurant. Please do not miss the dessert. It was among the best I've ever had. Not bad for a local, late night joint. You folks in Pittsburgh are lucky to have the Blue Goose.

Great place! Great food! Great owners! Amazing burgers & soups! Love the bacon wrapped jalapeños served along side a Bloody Mary.

What a great place. We were shopping at the local garden/flower shop McTighes May 30 and needed food. The Blue Goose food is great and be prepared for a lot of food! We had wraps (shrimp and buffalo chicken), a couple PGH salads and fish sandwich. All was hot and tasty. Plenty to drink and extra super staff that made sure we were happy! We will definitely be back Steve Higgins - Indiana, PA

First time visiting and will definitely be back. Stuffed jalapeños were super delicious. Today's special was a pulled pork quesadilla which was amazing. Burgers was soo juicy and delicious...had trouble eating the whole thing. Definitely putting them on my regular stop list! Thanks for FB for popping up on my feed as a recommendation.

Stopped in last night on a recommendation, after driving past its various incarnations for years. Thought it was outstanding. The place itself is nothing too exciting, but its comfortable and the staff is welcoming. The chicken tenders were just incredible - almost tempura-like - and cooked perfectly. The stuffed peppers are as good as I'd heard. The bourbon sauce was an unexpectedly perfect accompaniment. I did not have a burger, but those who did raved about them. All that and $3 PBR tall-boys? Um, yes please. I hope this place makes it, as it deserves to.

Stopped by tonight. Great burgers and tots. Friendly and fast staff. Small menu but what is on it is good.

This is an amazing local family-owned restaurant and bar that every person should check out! The atmosphere is very friendly and down-to-earth. The owners are great and the employees are almost all family.

We're new to town, and stopped by the Blue Goose on a whim based on solid yelp reviews. We were not let down. Amazing burgers and friendly staff. We will be back for sure.

What a great well rounded establishment. Bacon wrapped jalapeños!! OMG. And the service is terrific. It's not often you get good food service and prices all together. Nice job goose, you are going to see us again soon.

Seriously? The culinary curse of Mount Royal Boulevard lives on.. These people have no idea how to run a restaurant, tend a bar, or even make a sandwich. I've been there twice thinking the second time couldn't be as bad as the first. Yea it was worse

We were so looking forward to a revival of the Calibre of restaurant that the boulevard was with their homestyle cooking featuring outstanding meatloaf and awesome stuffed pepper soup. My wife and I couldn't find an online menu, so we just showed up to check it out. Unfortunately, we were greatly disappointed. There service was poor- i.e. had to ask for napkins and drink refills. The food was just okay, but worst of all, the grill the rolls in margarine and not real butter. My wife is severely allergic to margarine and got very sick. Hopefully they will expand their entire menu. No hoagies, wings, etc. We won't be back, that's for sure.

Great food, great service, and excellent bar! Great for all locals in the North Hills and also a great place for anyone looking for just a excellent place to go that is different from their usual!

Really, a genuine throwback to the neighborhood beer garden /restaurants of the past. Excellent burgers and appetizers... can't go wrong anywhere on the menu. The owner (Benzie) is actively involved in the kitchen and the wait staff is friendly and prompt. A unique, relaxing eating experience for the entire family... don't miss it.

Love to have a new local place to go to. We waited longer for our food than you'd expect. It was almost 25 minutes for 2 Pittsburgh salads and 2 kids meals and only two other tables were full at the time. But the food was really good and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Stopped here for a burger and a beer. Burgers and fries were delicious as was my daughter's wrap. Prices were reasonable, service was top notch. We'd be happy to drop back into this cozy neighborhood spot again.

Went to the Blue Goose for the first time... and we were very disappointed. The service was friendly, but as the only table we were waited on by 2 servers... which would be fine if the orders came out correctly. For example we asked for no olives on the salads, but got salads with extra olives. And the disappointment kept coming. My husband got the quesadilla which was pretty much just tortilla and cheese with maybe 5 small pieces of chicken throughout the entire thing and hardly any onions... the wedding soup he also ordered was mostly broth and not good either. My uncle got a chicken BLT wrap. He asked for the lettuce and tomato to be on the side, but received a wrap pretty much full of lettuce and tomato. The chicken that was in it was one small chicken tender about the size of a finger and the "bacon" was a microwaved sliver! No wonder why they stuffed it with lettuce and tomatoes! When my uncle told the waiter that there was hardly any chicken in it, he said that he was the one who personally cooked it and that's how it always comes. The burger I ordered, however was fantastic.... that's the only reason why this review isn't one star. But a good burger can be ordered anywhere.... we won't be returning to eat here. If you're going to have a family owned local restaurant/ bar you need to have decent food at a decent price.... our bill was like 60.00!!! Absolutely insane for crappy food. The service was sub-par, the food was horrible and was mostly lettuce and tomato's .... all around disappointing. I can't imagine this place sticking around for very long unless they do some serious changing in the kitchen and with food portions.

The menu at The Blue Goose Saloon is very small. Burgers, salads and snacks. The prices are very high in my opinion. That said I have to say that I enjoyed my burger.

We've been to this place twice now and have been very pleased. Staff is super friendly and they have some great new specials!

I have been to this place twice now and am really disappointed. I got the chicken BLT burnt bacacon a very little chicken made it more like lettuce in a tortilla. My husband had the penne and it was ok. Very spicy and not served with bread. The device was really bad as well. Slow and unfriendly. Will not go back.
