Why Gresso's Is Our Best Overall Pick

Gresso's Famous Pierogies come from the owner's mother's recipe: potato and cheese pockets finished with sauteed mushrooms and onions, garlic butter and sour cream. The same dumpling also rides on top of the Huggie Bear Burger, a bacon, mushroom and Swiss stack the menu ties to the family's hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia. The bar describes 961 S High St as a historic building that pairs dive-bar energy with from-scratch cooking. Doors open at 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and at 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
