Best Place for Devonshire Sandwich Pittsburgh

[brieflunchcounter]

Am heading to Pittsburgh in a few days and would like to taste that Pittsburgh classic, the Devonshire sandwich. Any recommendations on the restaurants that turn out a great Devonshire?

Wanted to bring this back up. There used to be a great place in Cranberry - DeVoss (or something like that - it's where the Primanti Bros. is now) - that made an amazing turkey devonshire. Sadly, they're long closed.

Just wanted to see if Union Grill and Dunning's were still the place to go, or if any newcomers/old favorites are floating around.

Yes! De Vo's had a tremendous devonshire. I haven't tried it yet, but I've been told that the Union Grill (Craig St. in Oakland) is the best place in Pittsburgh to get one now.

yes, the Union Grill has the best Turkey Devonshire's in the city. They are enormous and all of the ingredients are spectacular. You won't be thirsty afterwards, because they serve huge soft drinks as well.

I'm off to Union Grill for lunch - very excited.

I just have to say ... yes! Absolutely brilliant in almost every way. Nice thick slices of moist turkey, ripe tomato, and decent bacon, all on a grilled piece of Italian (possibly even sourdough) bread, smothered in a creamy cheese sauce. My only complaints, and these are minor, are that the bacon could be thicker and the whole dish could spend a little more time under the broiler. Other than that, this is simply a wonderful dish, albeit a dish that one should partake in no more than once or twice yearly.

I'm going for sure now!

I work in a restaurant as the chef and I can make a killer DEVONSHIRE But I make mine in a dish with toast points fresh sliced turkey toped with bacon and broccolli then topped with a zesty cheeder cheese sauce.

When I was quite young, my grandmother often took me to The Plaza restaurant
in the Forrest Hills Plaza for amazing turkey Devonshire’s. A fellow chowhound reported the establishment closed last summer. : (

My 2nd recommendation would be the
Union Grill
413 S Craig St
Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3708
412-681-8620

My final recommendation would be to try
Dunning’s Grill
1100 S Braddock Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15218-1238
412-243-3900

what is a devonshire?

The Devenshire is true Pittsburgh original.
Several years ago, the local Pittsburgh Post Gazette published
this recipe. As you’ll read, it’s not meant for those watching calories,
cholesterol or salt intake. In other words, it’s delicious!
