Walnut Grill in Collier Township closes its doors,
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — After 10 years, the Walnut Grill in Collier Township closed its doors this week.
On Tuesday, the restaurant on Route 50 officially closed. One of the Walnut Grill’s owners told KDKA-TV on Wednesday that the restaurant never rebounded after the COVID-19 pandemic.
So instead, they are going to try something new.
“We want to provide a new, exciting restaurant concept to our guests,” Kirk Vogel said.
“This will also have a family aspect,” Vogel added. “It will have some fun to it. It will be broken up a little bit into some different entertainment areas. But again, we’re still dialing into the details.”
The new concept is scheduled to open in the spring, and the owners said they plan to hire about 60 to 70 more people.
On the Walnut Grill’s website under the Collier Township location, it says, “Coming soon. A new concept brought to you by the Walnut Grill Restaurant Group.”
Current employees at the Bridgeville location were offered jobs at Walnut Grill’s other locations in Fox Chapel, Robinson, Washington and Wexford.

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher
The Pittsburgh Steelers got some injury updates on Tuesday courtesy of head coach Mike Tomlin, with the most promising one being that pass rusher Nick Herbig should return this week against the Cleveland Browns.
Herbig suffered a hamstring injury against the Miami Dolphins and practiced late last week but could not make the final push to suit up against the Lions.
Meanwhile, four other players are working through soft tissue injuries as well. Cornerback James Pierre has a calf issue that has kept him out of the last two games, but he went through a workout on Tuesday and that could get him back on the practice field.
Tomlin seemed optimistic that Pierre would return to practice this week. He did not give the same level of optimism to guard Isaac Seumalo, who is still battling through a triceps injury.
Seumalo missed last week after not practicing, and could be out for another game if he can not practice. Spencer Anderson, his backup, will be limited after getting banged-up against the Lions.
Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a hamstring strain that Tomlin said will leave as questionable this week, and will likely limit him early in the practice week. The same can be said for slot cornerback Brandin Echols, who is battling a groin injury.
