In Pittsburgh, Fries Belong on Salads – and We’re Proud of It

Rooted in Pittsburgh tradition and made for today’s cravings, Hello Bistro salads embrace the best of both worlds. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and yes – you can add fries on top, because honoring local food culture never goes out of style. 

Whether you’re building your own fresh salad creation from scratch or selecting one of our Signature Salads, like the Ranch Club Salad, there is always room on top for a crispy local tradition.  

While the origins of this tradition are unconfirmed, some say the regional act of adding fries to salads dates back to the early 1960’s. Regardless of when it began, we all can agree that it’s a tradition worth celebrating!  

At Hello Bistro, guests can add a touch of Pittsburgh to their fresh and flavorful salads by topping them with our tasty fries for just $1! Take this tradition to the next level by adding our Ranch-alicious Ranch Fries to your next salad!
