Burgatory makes one of the best burgers you can find in Pittsburgh. I began going to the original Aspinwall location about 3 years ago and have been in love with the food and
the brand ever since.
First of all the restaurant itself is a great atmosphere. The whole heaven/hell thing is very creative. I'm always entertained by the wall art.
The food is really incredible. They have about 8 or 10 signature burgers that are always on the menu as well as a Burger special that changes daily (if you want to find out what it is today just follow them on twitter). They also have an option to build your own burger. What I love about this is that Burgatory has a lot of unique toppings you won't find a lot of other places. But when I get a burger here a usually end up getting the Farmer Brown. I know they have so many unique and delicious options but there's just something about this classic burger with a gourmet twist I love so much! The only negative burger feedback I have is that I got a bison burger once and it was pretty dry. I imagine it's just a dryer meat, but I didn't like it so I wouldn't recommend that.
Even though you're probably going to Burgatory for burgers, they also have a lot of other great food as well. The pork belly sliders are incredible. I also really enjoy the fried mushroom appetizer.
Unfortunately I can't really comment too much on the milkshakes. I had one a few years ago and from what I remember it was great, but every time I come here I come for the food. I can't fill up on a milkshake!
If you live in Pittsburgh and haven't gone to Burgatory yet, you need to go. Don't let the long wait reviews scare you. Yes you could be "waiting" for up to an hour or 90 minutes. But because Burgatory uses NoWait, they'll take your phone number and text you when your table is ready. That way you can walk around all the great shops at the waterfront. Charming Charlie is right next door! I could spend an hour in there alone! Just make sure you put your name in before you're really hungry!
