| - Really kind of been holding of writing this review because my opinion of this place seems to go back and forth with every visit. In all honesty, I am not sure why I keep coming back (the most recent visit was because my sister had never been). To me it's a good burger, but nothing great.
I love the idea of building your own burger. At some burger joints I have a hard time finding a burger that will appease whatever my craving is that day. I am not picky at all, I am just a weird person that likes weird things.
Lets start with the shakes. To me they are pretty meh. I seriously hate that "whipped cream" they put on top of it. Before you say "oh just order it without the whipped cream, dummy", there has been multiple times that I have and they still put that stuff on top of my shake. The next issue is the price. I remember at some point they used to be cheaper or have I lost my mind? I just don't see their shakes being good enough for me to spend $7 on. I really don't. But that could be just because I tend to be somewhat of a tightwad. But honestly I am willing to spend the money if it is actually good.
The burgers last visit were pretty good. My sister tried the Farmer Brown which is a beef burger with an over easy egg, maple cured ham, and cheddar. I was only able to get a bite but it had a great flavor and she seemed to love it so that's all that matters to me.
My burger was the Piggy Butter and Jelly (again, I like to try weird things).
It had a ground beef & ground bacon Burger with white american, candied bacon, bread & butter pickles, peanut butter on the bottom and a sweet habanero jelly. To my surprise, it was actually pretty good. The peanut butter and bacon complimented the burger very well. I liked the jelly but honestly I could have done without it.
My issue with this last visit was our waitress. She couldn't seem to understand that we didn't want to order our drinks until we were ready to order our food (my sister is very indecisive and we had literally just sat down so she wanted to see what they had to drink). So after asking at least five times if we were sure, she pretty much pressured my sister into ordering a coke (she does't like coke). Then when we went to order our burgers, I had missed the part where my burger was mixed with a ground bacon, so I had asked for my burger to be made with some pink in it. So she literally snaps at me and says they can't do that because there is pork in it. That wouldn't have been such a big deal to me had the people on both sides of us not heard it. But of course they did. And they stared (fun fact about ash, she hates when people stare at her for stupid reasons). But the whole time it just felt like she was rushing us. I get that you are busy and what not, but just let us enjoy our meal.
But like I said before, my opinion changes every time I go to a Burgatory (any of the locations). But I keep giving them chances and probably will continue to do so.
But anyway, this is definitely not the best burger place in Pittsburgh by far (Check out BRGR or Tessaro's), nor is it cheap. So make sure you do your homework before coming here.
