Our Story:

  • Many years ago the Pittsburgh Press had a restaurant critic known only as the Phantom Diner. They would visit a restaurant anonymously and conduct a review unbeknownst to the owners or staff until the review was published in the paper. We seek to bring back the most genuine way to experience a food review without payment or influence from the establishment. You will get a non-biased review of local restaurants, diners, breweries and wineries in the greater Pittsburgh area and maybe a few others along the way.
