Last weekend was spent in Pittsburgh and on recommendation of several friends, I checked out Fat Head’s for lunch on Saturday. My friends know me well, since they recommended a place with an awesome beer list and lots of food.
head hunter
The wait was almost an hour so to kill time I hung around and drank one of their house brews. I started with the Head Hunter. The Head Hunter is a 7% abv IPA which was quite tasty. Once we were seated, I ordered another one of their house beers, this time the Happy Holidays. I really enjoyed this one. It was a delicious spiced Christmas ale. At the time, they only had three house brews available, the Head Hunter, Happy Holidays, and Kulmbacher.
the southside slopes
I stared at the menu for a while trying to figure out what I wanted to eat. I sure was hungry but damn were there so much to choose from. Their menu has several burgers, melts, salads, and headwiches to choose from. Yup, they’re named headwiches since they’re pretty massive sandwiches. I decided on The Southside Slopes which was a sandwich consisting of kielbasa, fried pierogies, American cheese, grilled onions, and horseradish. The sandwich came out with a very generous helping of homemade chips. I found the Southside Slopes to be just alright. Maybe I overhyped it in my head? It wasn’t terrible though. I’m convinced that if I return to Fat Head’s and have several drinks everything on the menu would be a great decision. I do want to try some of their other headwiches too.
