Quality, exceptional service, and an unparalleled atmosphere have made Eddie Merlot's one of America's great steak houses over the past 20 years. Eddie Merlot's is an homage to the man and his love of a great steak, a great glass of wine, and a good story.

We pride ourselves on our prime-aged beef and scratch kitchen.

In Pittsburg for college football and had a delicious experience; crab cakes, king crab and corn soup to start and dinners : Filet Del Mar, NY strip and Filet Mixed Grill - OUTSTANDING!!! Out of their control the building fire alarm went off for 5 mins, and general manager Mike addressed and apologized each and every table ensuring everyone it was a false alarm and comped desserts for each table. Bilal was our server, and he was fantastic! 100/100 recommend!!!

Our waiter was very erratic. She left us for extended periods of time. We ordered wine and I had to wave down another person. Finally, the floor manager brought the wine. Still no evidence of our waiter. We started the evening on a high note but she single handedly threw rain on the parade.

Food was terribly cooked. Didn’t come out on time. Certain items were missing. Lunch menu not vegetarian friendly, the only V option was not good. Staff volunteered to take items off the menu and offered free coffee because they realized how bad the meal was.
