Holy Moley, long time in the making. Living out in Robinson my bus route used to take me by the Sharp Edge in Crafton/Thornburg on a daily basis. A lot of my friends described it as a 4+ star establishment that leaned to the pricier side and served excellent food. So needless to say I have been intrigued for quite a while, just had no opportunity to give it a try.
Skip to the future and I found myself eating lunch at their Penn Avenue location. This newer establishment is well placed on the upper end of the Cultural District and from my initial impression seems like a hoppin' (pun!) place. You know you're in food a good beer based on the displays and the atmosphere and no sooner the smells surround you that you know you're also in for some good eating.
I went with a burger and I was SUPERBLY impressed. The ingredients were all fresh and crisp. No seriously, the lettuce was crunchy (in a good way) while the tomatoes were plump and just outstanding. They did over-do the burger patty every so slightly, but the flavors were not compromised. Our party selected both regular and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries could have been better, I wasn't a fan of the overcooked trend. But their regular ones were done perfectly.
Since it was a work related lunch, no one imbibed. So next time I look forward to trying out their selection of brews and maybe that blackedned chicken sandwich that looks uber appetizing on the menu.
