Jamison's — Restaurant in Dormont

I've been here a few times to meet up with friends for drinks. 16 taps of decent craft beers at moderate prices, good service and pleasant crowd. St Pat's Party this year brought me in originally and the great experience each time brings me back. I went this past Tuesday for Free Wing night and saw a different side of Jamison's. It wasn't overly busy, which for free wings surprised me, and seemed very laid back. I met up with a friend there and after a few tweets more showed up. This is the the kind of place I can go to kick back and watch a game and chill and then come back on the weekend and turn it up a notch.

Now for the food. Most bars on free wing night tend to downgrade the quality of wings or don't put much effort into it. Not here. Hearty wings and cooked perfect. The deal is you get 5 free wings for your first drink, 5 free for your second drink, and then $.35 each after that. You can easily come out spending less than $20 and I wasn't buying macro beers either. Come with friends and you can have all of the flavors. I had Chipotle BBQ which was sweet and backed more heat than their hottest wing, Garlic Parm which was well balanced on the garlic and parm, Buffalo Ranch could have used a little more sauce but I like my ranch wings sloppy.

Overall this is a gem in Dormont you seriously need to consider and I can't thank my friend enough for turning me on to them. they get 5 stars not for one thing but bringing enjoyment at everything. I've also seen the intense bacon menu they bring and one table ordered burgers that looked immense. I'm ready to...

This place is incredible. I first stopped by for their Tuesday wing night, and was blown away by the wings. I spent 4 years in Buffalo, NY and I've been to plenty of wing nights and wing places, and I have to say Jamison's takes the cake. Between the size and sauces (either wet or a dry rub..can't go wrong) they're the best.

Then the burger. I only got a very basic burger on their burger night (seriously...the specials here are insane) but you can tell the burger is handmade. Came out super juicy and the buffalo cheese was good and spicy.

I'm willing to bet anything else you get on the menu will be great. I've snacked on a few other of their offerings including the pizza and the crab cakes....again, nothing has been a miss.

If you go on a 'bad' night for them, I imagine you'll still walk out with quality food that you won't be mad about. Not sure if they're capable of a bad...

I stopped in on a Saturday around 4 PM to get one of their famous burgers. After my waiter brought me a beer, only then did he inform me that they were out of beef. Apparently someone on the staff went to get it but he didn't give me a timeframe for when it would be arriving. Since I already had my beer, I couldn't leave to get a burger elsewhere. The burgers were the sole reason I was there and this was my first visit to Jamison's. Disappointed, I ordered the PGH'er Craft Basi Burger. The bottom of it was overcooked and burned. I like kielbasa, but not burned. The pierogies helped the taste a bit, but being overcooked and half burnt basically ruined it. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, but I wouldn't return. Not having your main signature dish, hamburgers, on a Saturday, then burning the alternative doesn't make me want...
