| - I described this place to my partner as a classy mall or school cafeteria. The environment and ambiance here is very minimalist and simple. It's the restaurants that are truly the stars here, at least at the place where I've eaten. I think that's exactly what the creators of this restaurant incubator wanted to do.
Getting to the best part: the food. I've eaten too many burgers to count in my life, but I have to say that "The Burger" I ate at Provision PGH was among the best.
That's right. It was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten in my life. And it wasn't until after I got it that I knew it had a cult following.
I asked for it to be cooked medium. It was probably a little under cooked for medium, but it was the best mistake the could've made. The burger itself was filled with flavor, the toppings, with included cheddar, umami aioli, and smoked mushrooms, complemented this masterpiece. The fries I came with were delicious, seasoned with herbs I couldn't quite point out and amazing fry sauce, which I'm guessing has a thousand island dressing base but I'm not 100 percent sure. I may have also dipped my burger in that sauce a few times. It was tasty!
Lastly, the happy hour here is great. The deal is half off drinks from 4 to 6:30 p.m., so on my first visit I was able to get a cocktail for $5, and during the following visit, I got a Victory beer for $3.50. Normally I opt out of getting drinks out, but here I couldn't resist.
My biggest complaint is the location. I found it kind of odd I had to walk around weird concrete buildings. Street parking is the closest option, but it's still at least a five-minute walk to get there, unless there's another parking option I don't know about.
