E Town Bar and Grille

The fish sandwich is OK… Thats it… Another mediocre bar with below average food. Even for a bar. The burgers are bigger then average, ¹⁄₃ pound i believe, but they have no flavor really. Slow service, even when not busy.

Awesome place with a good menu. Everything I have had has been great. Definitely try the fish sandwich and the burgers. The prices are very reasonable as well. Give it a try.

This place is an awesome local bar. It’s my favorite in the area. The service is great and the staff is friendly. Try their fish sandwich if it’s your first time. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the best in Pittsburgh.

Alright… so either I was here on an off day (twice) or I am ordering the wrong thing!!! Both options are very good possibilities.
The first time we went was around this time last year. Etown is literally a 3 minute drive from my house and Bobby was interested because he thought they probably used their meats from the butcher (whom he so loved before they just closed up shop recently) and really enjoyed his burger. I think I ordered a side salad and a burger without the bun. I assume they were both decent, but nothing so amazing that it left an imprint in my memory.
So last night on my way home from work, I called and ordered a takeout order of 10 wings and their taco bites. I specifically asked for their wings (which are just skin-​fried and non-​breaded, yay!) to be cooked well so they were extra crispy. I got there and it wasn’t very busy and the girl had my order ready to go. I contemplated a six-​pack with their seasonal beers and they had a decent selection, but I opted against it.
The taco bites were different than I expected but they hit the spot! good flavor and I didn’t even need the salsa or sour cream! The wings (hot ranch) had good flavor and were extremely meaty, but they almost seemed under-​cooked which was a disappointment considering my special request. They were to the point where the skin was unappealingly gummy. I should have thrown them in the oven on high for a few minutes to crisp them up, but I was kind of turned off by the consistency so I ended up tossing them.
I will say that I have been here to drink a couple times and it is a great little local bar. It has a good selection of liquors and beers and the bartenders are nice and attentive. I would totally be willing to give them another shot food-​wise and definitely try the fish sandwich everyone raves about on here! I’ll update my rating if it is warranted when I do so.

This place makes great burgers and wings. I’m always bragging about the food and always try to stop when in the area. The people are friendly and services are good, but the thing I love most is their coleslaw, it’s the best I’ve ever tasted, I mean it taste so good I ask for seconds. Coleslaw’s a side dish but I’d love to get the recipe!

Yes, E Town does indeed make a mean fish sanwhich. After my recent disappointment with Coleman’s in Wheeling, was prepared to be let down here. Not to be! Really flaky, fresh tasting fried fliets (you get two, and they are huge). Batter is light and flavorful. Tartar sauce is great… old corner bar atmosphere in a stuck in time little hood called Etna. Definitely will return next time in town.

The fish sandwich that I had was the best ever! The only problem I had was the staff which was disappointing since I had spent a lot of money. I’m still going to go back but I’m hoping that they were all just having a bad day. Especially when walking in a bar, I should feel welcome and invited. Instead I felt that since we weren’t regulars we weren’t welcome. I saw about 8 different employees and only one said anything kind and that was when we were walking out. This will only be a Friday take out experience for us. We will not go to sit and have a meal not even a drink.

This place is an under rated gem. Everything on the menu is good and the Fish Sandwiches and Burgers are excellent. Wait staff and bar tenders are always on top of their game and everything is very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Seriously the best fish sandwich in town… period! Not to mention the burgers are delicious! The heart attack burger is to die for… no pun intended (fresh ground meat, ham, egg, bacon, and cheese). The wings are also tasty and always cooked to perfection. The staff is great and friendly! The restaurant isn’t super huge, so you may want to get there early on Lenten Fridays or on game days. They also make take out orders!

Ok, I hate to admit because this review might make the wait longer on Fridays, but this is the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. We got takeout and they even wrapped the bun in foil so it would not get soggy on the drive home. The sides are good too. My new lent spot for sure!

We were looking for a good fish sandwich so I googled best fish sandwiches in pittsburgh and Etown came up so we gave it a try! This was the best fish sandwich I’ve eaten. The restaurant is quaint with a nice bar. Prices are wonderful! We will definately return.

Good food and really nice people! Thanks for going out of your way and making the fish sandwiches special for my aunt and grandma! They said they were really great and my brother really liked the Italian roast beef and sausage.

Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate you opening up the kitchen on Christmas Eve to make us your famous Fish sandwich!
I didn’t know what to get my 94 year old great aunt and 87 year old grandma for Christmas — but I know they love fish sandwiches — so I wanted to give them the best! I drove them all the way out from Derry so they could try your fish sandwich — and they loved it!
Merry Christmas!

Huge fish sandwich, not too greasy with bun on the side which is critical for takeout! Surprisingly clean on the inside of this place too which is nice for a bar.

We went on a Friday to try the fish sandwich. I got mine with lettuce and tartar along with onion rings and coleslaw and a side of 5 garlic parm wings, she had fries with hers.
The fish was not only massive, it was good. A lighter batter than most places, cooked right, not oily. The bun held up to the end and didn’t crumble in mid-​meal while trying to squeeze that massive sandwich in my mouth. The coleslaw was crisp and tangy with the right amount of moisture. The onion rings were typical, no problems and a good-​sized serving.
The wings were good — crispy outside and moist on the inside. The garlic was on the light side, not overpowering. Not the biggest wings I’ve ever had, but not the smallest either. Pretty typical.
We went a little before 5 PM so it wasn’t very crowded initially but by the time we left it was filling up. I was satisfied with the service, didn’t have to ask for anything that was forgotten. Didn’t try any of the beers so can’t speak to that.
It’s a neighborhood place, expect to be called «hon». Makes you feel welcome. Parking is on the street and not abundant.
Overall a good experience and will return.

Won the award for Pittsburgh’s best fish sandwich. It’s enormous. Two fish sandwiches, really, which kind of makes it not fair, since all the other fish sandwich places must have only really been competing with half the fish of this place.
Great beer selection and the prices.. . let’s just say you know you’re not in the Pittsburgh city limits when you buy five craft beers and your bar tab ends up not cracking the $ 30 barrier.
Good wings, and huge burgers.
