| - In my mind, this place is 3.5 stars, but they get the bump up for the truly excellent prices (especially for Shadyside). DJ went through the burger process pretty well so I'll just add a few comments--
--Burgers are only available medium well. We asked for less, and were told this was the only option. Still, the burger (stack) that arrived was indeed medium well and not well, so that was something. It was also surprisingly juicy for something cooked that much.
--$6 for a half pound of meat (double burger) with lots of free toppings. Many creative ones as well (peanut butter, fried mac & cheese ($), mozz sticks ($))
--$1 extra for a variety of fries--we tried the curly, the cajun, and the Old Bay. The Old Bay fries were way oversalted (like they had been seasoned with Old Bay, which contains salt, and then salted as if regular fries), the curly fries were good, and the cajun fries were really tasty. This was a nice portion for $1.
--$1 off all drinks during Happy Hour weekdays until 7 (not sure when it starts), and $6 Yuengling pitchers until midnight. This part is a continuation from Fieldhouse (the previous tenant).
Fieldhouse was probably my favorite Shadyside bar, and Stack'd hasn't changed much except for the burger twist (and they're missing the zucchini fries). This is still a great place to catch a game, or three--there are enough TVs to follow many games at once, and there are TVs in every booth. Definitely a solid option if you're in the neighborhood!
Update: their dry-rubbed wings are really really good. The sauced ones are okay, but for $9/dozen I want excellent. Give them a try (and they'll let you do 6 and 6 instead of the whole dozen as one flavor)!
