I can't eat the deep fried / gluten items in the food court, so I was really happy to see this restaurant. Tried the cheesy steak baked potato and wow it was very good! You can customize your meal. Nice people and area was clean. I'll be back to try the other baked potato specials.
Their cheese fries were AMAZING! The fries were perfectly crispy, loaded with cheese, and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and the portion size was really good too. Definitely one of the best snacks I’ve had at the mall. If you’re craving comfort food or just want something quick and delicious, I highly recommend trying their cheese fries easily a 10/10 for me! 😅don't have a pic of the fries cause I couldn't focus on anything except those
I’m just going to start with how great the service was!! Second the SUPREME FRIES!!!! Try them!! So good!!! Even the tornado had a perfect crisp and season!!
I recently stopped at Potato Bar with my son for a casual meal while shopping at Ross Park Mall. We decided on this spot because it was quick, and visually appealing from the counter setup. Pot Roast Potato $13.99 Supreme Fries $12.50 Coca-Cola (16 oz) $2.25 Subtotal: $28.74 Total (with tax): $30.75 Both meals were delicious and filling. The Supreme Fries were loaded generously and full of flavor, while the Pot Roast Potato was hearty, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The food exceeded expectations for mall dining. While standing in line, I observed three employees working. Two female employees were wearing clear plastic gloves, while the male employee prepping food was initially not wearing gloves. After we paid for our food, I began recording at the counter. The employee noticed and quietly put on gloves, which was appreciated, though it should have been standard practice from the start. Aside from that moment, service was efficient, and our order was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere is what you’d expect from a mall food court busy, open, and functional. The kitchen is visible, which makes cleanliness and food-handling practices especially noticeable. Seating is shared mall seating, so it’s casual and convenient rather than intimate. Potato Bar delivers excellent food quality and generous portions, making it a solid choice for a quick, satisfying meal at Ross Park Mall. Attention to consistent food-safety practices would greatly improve the overall experience. I would return again for the food especially the Supreme Fries, but hope to see more consistency in staff hygiene moving forward.
The gentleman was patient with me as I took forever to look at the menu and he was able to recommend the Pot Roast. Oh boy, it was super good!!! He loaded me up! He was also so nice because he gave my girl a side of shredded cheese cause she wanted some with her lunch.
As Québécois visiting Pittsburgh, we were so excited (and a little skeptical!) to try the poutine at Potato Bar and wow, did it deliver! The fries were perfectly crispy, the gravy rich and flavorful, and the cheese curds had that ideal squeak. It tasted just like home, maybe even better! The staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. You can tell they put care into every dish. Highly recommend to anyone craving comfort food done right, especially fellow Canadians missing a good poutine! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town. 🍟🇨🇦❤️
Tucked unassumingly past the gates of fashion mediocrity between a China Mi and coming to you soon Shake Shack lies The Potato Bar. A temple of starch where culinary subtlety is gleefully cast aside in favor of molten cheese and glorious excess. I began with the Cheesy Steak Potato, a dish that bravely rejects balance in favor of indulgence. The potato itself? A soft, buttery vessel. Perhaps grown in soil blessed by ancient snack gods. Cradling tender steak and a lava flow of unapologetic cheese and mushrooms. It did not whisper to my palate. It shouted, joyously and with carbs. But the Tornado Fry… ah, the Tornado Fry. A spiraled helix of deep fried defiance, crisped to a golden hue rarely seen outside of Renaissance paintings. It is a fry that demands attention, admiration, and possibly a nap. In conclusion: The Potato Bar is not a dining experience. It is a reckoning. A beautiful, cheesy, slightly greasy reckoning. Five stars. Would eat again while pretending “I don’t normally eat like this.” Would have posted the before photo, but I couldn’t wait that long.
I tried Potato Bar today and honestly didn’t enjoy it at all. Had their burger fries — the fries weren’t crispy, and the burger patty was too dry and tough to chew. On top of that, it lacked even basic seasoning like salt and pepper. The only thing I actually liked was their house-made sauce. Overall, their food just isn’t for me.
