What a special experience our family had at the Frick Park Market. We stopped out front after they closed for a photo op and the owners came down from the upper office and opened up the market to allow us to see it. Dave and his wife were incredibly hospitable, gave us a tour, shared the 100+ year history and shared some Mac Miller stories. What a gift this was as we traveled in from Arizona. Thank you so much for your kindness!
Our stop here was the highlight of the trip to Pittsburgh. The staff went out of their way to provide a genuine and welcoming experience. This place is hallowed ground. Even got to write a message for Mac Milers mom to read.
To say it was a magical experience visiting Frick Park Market wouldn’t even come close to describing how wonderful it was! David who now owns Frick Park Market, graciously showed us around while telling us the history of the charming store. David showed us all the Mac Miller pictures and gave us a story for each of those. He also happily offered to take pictures of us behind the counter and in front of the store! We ordered some breakfast sandwiches that we ate outside, David even turned on some Mac Miller for us to bump to! The food and vibes were a 10/10 experience. David was absolutely lovely and anyone who has an opportunity to stop by should! Don’t forget to leave a message for Macs mom, Karen in the notebook at Frick Park Market!
I am baffled by anyone who would consider giving Frick Park Market anything less than five stars. On top of the sandwiches tasting amazing, the owners are the most pleasant people you will meet. We were immediately greeted by the owners and given a background of the shop and area. The Mac Miller tribute is amazing as well.
It is adorable inside and out! I sooo recommend checking this place out when you are in the area whether its for a sandwich or even ice cream!
Visited w my son who is a huge Mac Miller fan. The owner, Dave, immediately welcomed us in and showed us all around, told us the history of the store, offered to take our pictures, even played Mac Miller on the speakers for my son while he ate his sandwich. We learned a lot of interesting facts we didn't know and it just felt like we were talking to old friends. There was even a notebook where you could write a message to Mac's mom. I can't say enough good things about our experience there.
Frick park market is an amazing place. You can feel the history in the building. The owner Dave is such an amazing cool person. He is full of knowledge/history on the building and the area. He makes you feel welcome and at home. Such an amazing experience. Definitely worth the trip no matter how far you travel. I can guarantee Dave will be the first person to greet you with a big smile!!!!
So I'm a fan of both Mac Miller and sandwiches so stopping in at the the Frick Park Market was a no brainer. We had the best time there. Dave, the owner is the nicest guy ! We got the history, tour, took some pics and had an amazing lunch there. Can't thank them enough for being so gracious and really make it a memorable experience. Thanks Dave !! We'll definitely be back !!
The staff - one of the best. Indescribable friendliness, all around, from everyone. Including those standing in line with me.
The food - HOLY COW. I stepped outside of my comfort zone on this one and had the BEST possible experience taking food out of any establishment. David, the current owner, had just brought in fresh tomatoes from the garden in the back as I was waiting in line, and had such a extraordinary looking outdoor dining area which I still need to check out in full.
Served popcorn while waiting in for my sandwich (by no means a wait necessarily, spend as much time as you can here)

When I visited, I had the opportunity to meet and chat with Ron Fuchs, the son of the original owners of the Market! He and I talked for about 1.5-2 hours about the market, the history of the neighborhood, and Mac Miller. If you have a chance, I would seek him out (maybe ask management if he's around) because he is so friendly and warm and encapsulates the welcoming feeling the market offers in a single person. Hope to visit again soon!
My husband and I came here in 2019 from Boston when the previous owners were still running the place. It was an unreal experience! It was an honor getting to know Maggi and John and hearing all their stories about Mac! They made you feel like you knew him personally by the time you were done. Honestly, coming back in June 2023 I was nervous that the new owners would've changed the place a ton, and it wouldn’t of been the same kind of experience. I’m thrilled to of stepped foot in that store and seen that they kept the place close to what it was. Some things did change, but they kept his story alive I. It’s still the staple it was. The people working the store were lovely and were so cool to talk too!
There’s probably what’s the sweetest man in PA that sells his paintings there, I’m bad with names but I’m pretty sure it was Ron (sorry if it’s not 🫶), that you can tell genuinely enjoys talking to everyone who comes through and getting to know them. Hearing the stories he had about the area, the people he meets, and his joy for painting holds a place in my heart. That dude had me leaving there looking like this 🥹 if you go there, take some time to talk to him!
There’s a lot of places you can go to celebrate Mac in the area, but this is the place to be. You find some true appreciation for him, not just as an artist, but as who he was as Malcolm
