Burger wars!! Let's dive in to the battle eh.
Brgr has a nice ambiance to it; casual, sophisticated but not too pretentious. TV's spaced out so you can catch a game; they even had Fox Soccer Channel on! There's upstairs outdoor seating but it seems to fill up pretty quickly. I came here on a random weeknight and we were able to get seating for two without a wait.
Service is a little slow and the server forgot to bring out my drink until we were halfway through the burgers. There's a pretty broad selection of burgers and I wish I had gotten something more exotic. Both of us got the kobe beef burger, which was cooked nicely (I prefer a medium for burgers). It had a nice crunch and the bun held up. The fries were good and the cheez whiz sauce was delicious! I don't know what they did to the ol' standby cheez whiz but it was excellent.
Overall, I don't know that Brgr does anything to truly distinguish itself. I'll be more than happy to come back and try it again but in one sitting, the fare didn't impress me the way Wingharts and Tessaro's instantly did. (Note to self to try the milkshakes next time as that might up the star rating by one if as good as reviewed on Yelp).
In the Pittsburgh burger wars betwixt Brgr, Tessaro's, Wingharts, I think Brgr comes in third. No shame in losing out to those two joints as Brgr does produce a decent quality burger anyway.
