KOBE WAS AWESOME! A GREAT ADDITION TO EAST LIBERTY - SOLID BAR FOOD ELEGANTLY ELEVATED!
Looks like me and a bunch of my yelp foodie friends hit up BRGR all within a couple days of one another!
Impressed by local food critic/bitter Betty AKA CHINA MILLMANs review for The Pittsburgh Post Gazette we decided to stop by and stuff our faces!
Hubby and I went Saturday night at 6pm. We were seated right away and had already reviewed the menu via the critics column. I knew right away if I would be noshing on red meat (a rarity for me) I was going to the top of the line - the Kobe burger! Hubby had the short rib burger and we split a order of fries and onion rings.
Sides: Onion rings were textbook perfect. Batter was even and crunchy. Ratio of all parts was harmonious. Fries were solid but not amazing or life changing. Instead, a solid counterpart.
Kobe: Juicy, rich, luxurious, velvety...I fell in love with it! Bun was so perfect and sturdy and flavorful. It was a food slut moment. I ate like a person possessed!
Shake of the Day: "What Girls Are Made Of" ANSWER = Pumpkin Pie Spice and Egg Nog? Totally off base - flavors were not unique rather a disappointing reminder of holiday punch. I regret not trying the salty caramel.
Summary: Great casual bar with wonderful food. Brgr is not full of itself. This place is serving great food in a relaxed, fun, family friendly bar and I will come back!
