Maybe I am aging out of some of the Shadyside establishments or maybe I just am not a burger person, but I am not sure about the Tipsy Cow. We have a bunch of places just like this in the city and also more burger joints are opening. Tipsy Cow has the choose your own menu with very limited chef combos. There are some interesting apps fried mac and cheese bites and, my forever app, the fried pickle. They are slices, not spears, but the spicy ranch is mouth burning. Keep in mind that Tipsy Cow means spicy when they say spicy. I like a little spicy, but nothing that takes away from my meal and I need to counter act it with something else.
Highlight of my visit: Happy Hour is great. 1/2 price drinks. Pretty good deal.
