| - A friend recommended this for my Pittsburgh visit, and it sounded like the perfect Pittsburghy thing to have: luxurious burgers, luxurious shakes, crafty beers, gentrified and post-industrial. We were a group of 5, and we had to wait 90 minutes on a Saturday night - fair enough. They texted us when the table was ready, and in the meantime we could enjoy the fun and sights of Waterworks (well, Barnes & Noble and Bed, Bath and Beyond).
We shared 3 shakes (pretzel-caramel, PBJ, and s'mores) - all three magnificent towers of milkshaky perfection. My personal favorite was the pretzel-caramel, which was salty-sweet (also, caramel-salt is very hip right now with my local crowd, so I had that added bonus of feeling trendy... EVEN WHEN I EAT). I got the Farmer Brown burger. Despite the whole place feeling abundant, the portion wasn't overwhelming. Okay, after a fried tempura portobello mushroom (with delish peanut sauce), 3/5 of a shake and my salad, I couldn't finish Mr. Farmer Brown. But so be it! I'll just have to plan better next time. It was glorious.
Limited craft-ish beer selection - I wouldn't come here for that, but it was a good layover while we waited for our table. Overall: definitely returning here on my next trip to da burgh.
