| - Um hello delicious, fresh burgers! I've always been curious about this spot and decided to stop in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The place was totally deserted which I find crazy now knowing how good their food is. Pro-tip: go on a Tuesday afternoon! You'll get your food super quick and it's a super relaxed atmosphere.
Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and explained that their most popular burgers are all named after neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. They have two sizes of burgers: a craft ($13, regular sized burger) and a mini craft ($10, a little larger than a slider). All burgers come with a side of fries or mixed greens and you can upgrade for $1 for rosemary fries (THE BEST) or $3 for pierogies, mac and cheese, or slaw.
I opted for the Fox Chapel craft burger, which did not disappoint. The patty is their #theblend, which is half local grass fed beef and half sautéed mushrooms. If you like mushrooms, go for #theblend, flavorful but not overpowering. The burger was topped with goat cheese, mixed greens, pickled onion, avocado, and a balsamic reduction. It seems like all their burgers are served on a potato bun, which I didn't love, but it was still tasty.
Now, let's talk about the rosemary fries. These are totally, without a doubt, worth the $1 upgrade. My mom hates French fries but could not get enough of these. Their fries are hand cut, too, which is a score in my book.
Overall, I think this may be my new favorite craft burger spot in the burgh. Love that all their ingredients are fresh, and most even locally sourced. Aka you'll won't feel gross after eating their food. I didn't have a brew, but they have a huge craft beer selection, too.
If you're not in the mood for a heavy, in your face Burgatory burger, definitely hop over to Lawrenceville to Burgh'ers.
