Burgh Bites at The Eagle: Chewy fried chicken

Written By Cassandra Harris, Editor-in-Chief • December 4, 2024
It was Saturday night when I went onto Google and reserved a table for two at The Eagle. We missed our reservation for 6:30 p.m., though, because I spent over 30 minutes looking for parking. Defeated, I gave up trying to park in the restaurant’s general vicinity and instead parked my car in the lot next to Conestoga Hall, taking a chilly 11 minute walk with my partner to the bar and chicken restaurant.

At a former President Barack Obama rally in the Fitzgerald Fieldhouse, he opened his speech by immediately endorsing “Pamela’s Pancakes” in the Strip District as a must-visit, tasty place to get pancakes.
