WELCOME
At Jillian’s, every ingredient has a local story—and you can taste it.
We know our farmers by name. We walk their fields. We meet their animals. We cook with what they grow—because Pennsylvania grows fantastic food.
Chef Philip Call and Jillian Ludwiczak, the husband-and-wife team behind Jillian’s, have built something rare: a fine dining experience rooted in community, shaped by the seasons, and wrapped in the kind of hospitality that feels like dinner at a dear friend’s home.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Hyper-local. Zero waste. Full of heart.
We believe food tastes better when it shares our air, drinks our water, and grows in the same soil beneath our feet. That’s why our ingredients come almost exclusively from Pennsylvania farms—places we visit regularly, so we can ensure humane treatment, regenerative practices, and the kind of quality you can taste.
We purchase whole animals and use every part with reverence and intention—from rich bone broths and rendered fat for confit, to handcrafted sausages and dry-aged steaks. Waste is minimal, and flavor is maximal.
This isn’t just smart sourcing. It’s a philosophy. One that respects our farmers, honors the land, and celebrates every ingredient.
Our Farmers & Friends
We proudly partner with the following Pennsylvania farms and foragers to bring the best of our region to your plate.
OUR MENU
Ever-evolving. Always exceptional.
Because we cook with what’s in season—and what’s inspiring us—our menu changes often. One week you might find dry-aged Wagyu with truffle risotto. The next, wood-fired pork, rainbow trout with citrus glaze, or our famed duck fat fries beside a perfectly crafted burger.
Every dish is cooked by Chef Phil himself, with an eye for detail and a whole lot of love. It’s not fast food. It’s thoughtful food—worth slowing down for.
Wednesday to Saturday

WEDNESDAY FEATURE
Burger Night at Jillian’s
Wednesdays are fun at Jillian’s because that’s when we roll out our famous burger—juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right—served with crispy fries and our housemade pickle-tini for $38.
THE BAR
Wine, cocktails, & small-batch spirits to match the plate.
Just like the kitchen, our bar program is driven by quality and intention. Our wine list is built to enhance the food, featuring small-production, organic, and biodynamic vineyards from around the world.
You’ll find house-curated cocktails that celebrate the season alongside classics done right—and beers exclusively from our friends at Allusion Brewing Co. in Vandergrift. Whether you're sipping a dirty martini or a seasonal spritz, you’ll taste the same care that goes into every bite.
THE SPACE
Jillian’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience.
MEET JILLIAN & PHIL
"WE WANT TO CREATE A Place That Feels Like Home"
We’re Jillian and Phil—partners in life and in this little restaurant of ours.
Jillian’s is named after, well, Jillian. She grew up just a few blocks from here, and you’ll usually find her in the dining room making sure your evening feels special—whether that’s by sharing a favorite wine pairing, talking through the menu, or just making sure you’re comfortable and cared for.
Phil’s in the kitchen, doing what he’s always dreamed of—cooking food that’s thoughtful, seasonal, and full of heart. He’s spent years in some of Pittsburgh’s best kitchens, but this place is different. It’s ours. And it’s personal.
We opened Jillian’s because we wanted to create the kind of restaurant we’d want to go to: elevated but unfussy, warm, welcoming, and rooted in our community. A place where regulars feel like family, and new guests feel like old friends by dessert.
Thanks for being here—we can’t wait to cook for you.
With love,
Jillian & Phil
