    Had an amazing meal - salmon with fall hash and butternut squash was unbelievable. Would go back every week for the same meal. It was a little pricy but worth it.

    Oh. My. God. I love this place. Nothing can beat the price of the Happy Hour and the food is simply outstanding!!!! The oysters are fresh, and not at all sandy, the corn bread and the hush puppies are the best cures for a carb craving, and the cocktails are worth checking out too! It is already my go-to place when I want some lovely oysters and some down-to-earth Cajun cuisine!

    Muddy's is great! I cannot recommend it enough. Since moving to PIttsburgh from New York, we have been in search of some good places to go to eat and enjoy a regular date night. This is the place we know we will be returning to again and again- the food is outstanding, the menu changes so you never get tired of it, the cocktails are amazing and service is friendly. Even if oysters is not your thing, head out for an amazing fried chicken dish, or a gumbo, or just have fried green tomatoes and corn bread. You will not be disappointed.
