Something for Everyone: Honoring 2024’s Best All-Around Restaurants in the North

Whether it’s a date night, a family dinner, or just a craving for something amazing, these top-tier restaurants deliver across the board. In the 2024 TribLIVE Best of the Best Community Choice Awards, voters recognized three northern favorites that consistently serve up excellence in food, service, and atmosphere.

Gold was awarded to Cala Lily Restaurant and Bar in Gibsonia, a stylish yet cozy spot that blends creative cuisine with an upscale vibe. Known for its seasonal menu and elevated dining experience, Cala Lily offers the kind of versatility that keeps guests coming back for every occasion.

Taking Silver, Springfield Grille in Mars is a polished American eatery where traditional dishes meet refined presentation. With an inviting ambiance and a menu full of well-executed favorites, Springfield Grille proves that classic doesn’t have to mean ordinary.

Earning Bronze, The Blue Goose Saloon in Pittsburgh makes its second appearance on the winner’s list, this time for more than just burgers. With hearty portions, friendly service, and a welcoming neighborhood feel, The Blue Goose wins hearts with its consistent all-around appeal.

These restaurants create memorable dining experiences that reflect the heart of their communities. Winning a TribLIVE Best of the Best Award is a nod to their dedication, quality, and the loyal patrons who continue to support them.

Congratulations to Cala Lily Restaurant and Bar, Springfield Grille, and The Blue Goose Saloon on their 2024 honors!
