| - BRGR is a convenient spot to grab a burger (...as the name suggests) on the Shadyside/East Liberty border, especially when the weather is nice enough for the upstairs deck to be open. There is plenty of seating between both spaces, and I don't remember having much of a wait during the handful of times I have eaten there over the past few years.
The menu is fairly simple and straightforward. There are a number of meat (as well as non-meat) options and flavor combinations, as well as sides and shakes. I had the Fire in the Hole burger on my last visit. I'm a fan of all things spicy, so this seemed like the obvious choice. The burger comes with pepper jack, chipotle mayo, sriracha, and a layer of jalapenos under the burger. It's all cooled down by the addition of guac. There was a ton of flavor between all of the sauces and toppings, and the heat was present but not overpowering.
My friend and I split an order of fries with the "truffle cheese whiz." The fries were tasty in the cheesy, truffle-y (is that a word?) dipping sauce. The sides are pretty big and meant to share... we had more than enough food with a burger each and the fries to split.
I think it would be nice to see some fresh menu options; I don't go here too often, but it seems like the burger options have remained largely unchanged since the location opened. It seems like there is always a new burger place opening in Pittsburgh, but this is a reliable option in a good location.
