| - I tried their location in Fox Chapel a couple of years ago and wasn't impressed, but I've been to the Homestead location twice and really enjoy it! I had the crabcake burger the first time--the crabcake was BIG, and messy, with coleslaw and Sriracha remolaude totally falling out everywhere. It was good, but I prefer the beef burgers. My recommendation is garlic mayo, arugula, farmhouse cheddar, and crispy onions, with the burger cooked medium. With their rosemary fries instead of the chips (which are good, but sort of superfluous compared to the fries). You can't go wrong!
Let's talk shakes. I like the idea of their creative shakes--with flavors like Prantl's burnt almond torte, smores, and coffe-and-doughnuts. But do there have to be giant chunks of pretzels/cake/chocolate in every single one? Last time I was there I had the mocha shake with coffee liqueur, which had huge pieces of chocolate-covered espresso beans in it. That's all well and good, but I don't really want to chew my milkshake, particularly when I'm tackling a giant burger alongside it. So while I give Burgatory the edge when it comes to the burgers themselves, I'm gonna have to cede the boozy-milkshake award to BRGR. They DO have a good beer selection here, though, so just have some hops and malts for dessert. :)
I've also tried the portobello steak fries, and I'm a sucker for portobellos so I enjoyed them. All the appetizers really need to be shared amongst a HUGE group, though, as that plus burger plus booze/ice cream/booze and ice cream is really too much to be handled by one mortal.
