About
Widely called Pittsburgh's oldest bar and restaurant, on Market Square since 1870, where a big slab of fried cod hangs off both ends of a long bun made just for it. The breading is Mary Americus's recipe; her husband, "Silver Dollar Louie," ran the place from 1916 to 1970 and is the one who made the giant fish sandwiches famous.
There are two big fish sandwiches to pick from, the Famous Jumbo Fish and the Monster Fish Sandwich. Look around while you wait: mahogany bar, tin ceiling, the old floor tiles and a dumbwaiter, and walls covered with photos of famous customers and memorabilia from the 25-odd movies that have used the place. Louis Grippo bought it in 1970; since he died in 2017, his wife Renee and daughter Jennifer have run it.
