50 Best Burger Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“Best burger I’ve ever had“

“Service was great and the burger I got was delicious I would highly recommend you try it out when your in Pittsburgh“

“Best burger I’ve ever had“

“Fantastic burger joint! Probably the best burger I’ve had in pittsburgh (I got “the Applewood”). The girls behind the grill and at the bar were incredibly friendly, attentive, and just good people. I can’t wait to share this gem of a find with friends and family who visit! 10/10– will be back!“

“If you're looking for the Chinese style of fried chicken, 98K is the best we've found in Pittsburgh.

It's a nostalgic taste, including how fries in China are soggy. But the fried chicken flavoring and juiciness are exactly what I'd get in Shanghai“

“What a find! Flavorful, decorative and clean atmosphere, and very economical. Was looking for a walkable place from PPG that's good for a group and it's literally right across the street. The menu is build-your-own so everyone can get what they want (think Chipotle for Mediterranean food - but much better quality and flavor!). It's very economical too, which is rare for this area. They even brought our group free lentil soup samples that were SO good! They have a kids menu as well. Will be coming again!“

“It’s a 9.5 out of 10… their chairs aren’t that comfortable but good and service is a 10!“

“Food was delicious! Waitress was super friendly! Definitely would recommend!“

“The bar tender Stephany is a awesome young lady great personality and fun to talk too Beer selection always great too“

“Burgers are alright, although the onion rings are really hit or miss; sometimes they're made fresh and when they are they slap, other times they're the pre-made frozen style and they're below average.

It's a shame, I'm sure people would buy them more if they were made fresh all the time“

“I ate inside and they had a friendly waiter id say pretty kid friendly you can build youre own burger and the fries and burgers are absolutely amazing 10/10 I’ll definitely be coming back also gave free drinks to the mothers for Mother’s Day perfect dining“

“Tried this place for the first time through Grubhub . Everything was so delicious . I eat food from different restaurants constantly and this was one of the best“

“Great food and atmosphere. Jenn is a fantastic waitress! Super service!“

“Not the same as it was, but the new owner is passionate and the staff is top notch. I miss some of the charm of the old vibe, but the Pub is in the hands of someone who appears to care about the place, while following her own vision. Still one of the best spots to grab a Guinness, eat a little (good) pub food and share a good conversation.“

“This place is amazing definitely will be back“

“Waitor was very attentive,fast service as well, fries a bit salty but definitely cooked with perfection. The BURGER IS SO JUICY, it was dripping. Very good. The atmosphere was very chill with eclectic music and beautiful ambiance. Definitely recommend.“

“Definitely, an experience took my grandmother out because the yard was closed, and we drove passes and saw a crowd of people. First, we thought it was a party because kids were playing in the middle of their yard and were able to find a parking space at the front very, very rare. She didn't want to sit outside, so we walked in. Both our faces were confused. One the beautiful employees from the first restaurant when you first walk in from the parking lot stopped what they were doing and explained the experience we was bout to have three separate restaurants in one building side-by-side each other three different menus and if you wanted to order from all three you could. It was very overwhelming, so we stuck with what we know chicken and salmon sandwich and fries with a salad from Elevate. There a twist to everything you buy, so if you bring your kids sn there funny about food, keep them home or head somewhere else you'll be wasting your money.“

“fantastic company. incredible food!!! and we love soccer:)“

“Supereme Nachos were loaded with all the right toppings—perfect for sharing.“

“So delicious! My new favorite breakfast spot when I’m in Pittsburgh! And the freshly squeezed orange juice was AMAZING!“

“Good salad and great burgers“

“The salmon dinner was great and they let me sub green beans for potatoes. My guests had the chicken tortilla soup and the Oriental chicken salad and were very pleased. 3 meals plus drinks were only $50! Destinies, our server was extra special, kind and helpful!!❤

“Great atmosphere, great service, great food, and when I tell you the drink/beer list is AMAAAAZINGGG. They pay attention to the details, and no detail is too small! Tons of seating, ESP outdoor for summertime! HIGHHLY recommend.“

“I am so sad that they have closed. This was at least a weekly dinner for my family as my fiancé and I both work and live very close. The workers were given no notice, so the customers didn't get any notice either. We just happened to have a friend who got lunch that day and we found out from them. Yes, it was an old building and yes it wasn't "eat in" anymore, but it's sad for those of us who were frequent, loyal customers. The employees had been there for years, knew the customers and their orders and it was a close-knit crew. We heard that the building will likely be torn down and made into (another) strip mall. Disappointing. Shame on you, Peppi's.“

“This is a such a wonderful spot. Lots of food options--vegan, vegetarian, gluten free--and they're all so good! I just had the best wings I've ever had, hands down. We come for trivia every month!

Vegetarian options: All of their food can come vegetarian, and you can sub in vegan meat if you'd like.

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free“

“The food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The owner is really nice & friendly. Everything about this place is GREAT 10 out of 10.“

“We wanted to try something new and wow this place was amazing. What a great choice! Once I saw cevappi (delicious Balkan Sausage) in the menu, I stopped looking. You can’t get it anywhere around here. That plus the amazing home fries that were super crispy and delicious. My husband loved his chicken schwarma which was super flavorful. I loved all the sauces in it too. You must come check it out. Everyone was really friendly and wanted to make sure you were happy which is rare anymore.“

“Charred restaurant is inside the City Kitchen dining hall. Charred makes many flavors of burgers as well as some appetizers and salads.

I ate lunch here. I used my smart phone to access and order from the restaurant’s menu. About 10 minutes later, an employee brought my food to my table. I enjoyed my wagyu cheeseburger, truffle fries, and side salad.“

“Great food and large portions“

“Great food and great service!“

“Great food and great service! Good times and good memories“

“Randomly stumbled upon stinky’s on an impromptu trip to Lawrenceville. I have never heard of this place and then we pulled up yelp for restaurants close in the area and we were thrilled that we had ended up here. Their menu is so super extensive, dog friendly, amazing prices, huge portions (still eating leftovers here) And super friendly staff! The next time in the area, I’ll definitely be back!“

“Wonderful place, great food, drinks and amazing service“

“Forbes Tavern is the best in the city!! Great food and amazing people“

“service was phenomenal, food was fantastic, & the atmosphere is very chill. Definitely recommend & would absolutely go again.“

“Wanted a late night meal, so headed here to pick up something and got there right before they closed. The staff was extremely nice even though they were closing up in the back. We ordered a large cheese pizza and it came out pretty quick ~15 minutes. The pizza itself was a little on the greasy side, but the dough and cheese were great and they cooked it slightly crispy as requested making it a decent meal (7.6/10). Definitely want to try other things at this restaurant as they have an extensive menu, but would recommend for a quick pizza.“

“I moved to the area in June 2016 from Gibsonia I was referred to Danny's and it was the best "Move" I have ever made Over the years I have been treated like a VIP especially when I received my new leg in 2019 I use a walker and Danny's is so easily accessible and someone offers to get the door every time I have been around the world and I am proud to say that Danny's Bar and Grille sets the standard by which all other establishments are to be judged!

“Very solid burger spot with reasonable prices for a good quality and nice sized burger. They are known for a smash burger style. I tried a very simple single smash burger.The burger came with pickles, American cheese, pickles, Simply sauce, and a potato roll. The meat itself was pretty good. I would have preferred it be a bit more juicy, and thought it was a tad over cooked, but still good.The sauce has a slight acidity to it, and was pleasant. Almost like a horseradish flavor. A good amount of sauce as well. The pickles were nice and fresh. The bun was really good, as it soaked up the meat's juices and the sauce well. Decent cheese although a bit plasticy.All in all, a solid burger place. The meat is pretty decent, good sauce, good bun, and a decent price for the portion. I'd recommend trying them; they do the simple things correctly.

Kid-friendliness: Most kids would like the burgers“

“Went there for the first time on a Saturday for dinner. Nice place with lots of options. Our server who was doubling as cook was super nice and answered all our questions and special requests. I got the Cranberry Poppins salad. It was fresh, delicious and very large. The rest of my party had the fish sandwich, the chicken tenders and fries and the Alcove Burger. Everyone liked their food. We left just as the band was setting up. Would definitely go back again.“

“Everyone there is super friendly and the food is amazing. Special shout out to the kitchen guys ❤️“

“Armstrongs has AWESOME food. Love their Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers.☺️“

“Can’t come back home from Dallas without going to the hot dog shoppe!!!! Makes me extremely happy!!!!!“

“BSB's is the place to go for wings here! I used to live here about 8 years ago and moved away for that time period, but as soon as I moved back in 2023, I had to get some of their wings!The wings are just as incredible as before and their flavors are insane! The menu might look a bit intimidating with all of the crazy fun flavors, but trust me, you won't get a bad one from them! They are all so unique and different.Do yourself a favor and go to BSB's to try some of their wing flavors! Their subs are also fantastic!“

“Every time we come into Pittsburgh we eat at Big Shot Bobs and they never disappoint. Our food was delicious and the guys were so welcoming. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Wonderful staff, amazing food, and a family friendly dinner spot. We try make it to Jamisons at least once a month. It's worth our 30 minute drive.“

“Good food, good service, and good entertainment.“

“What a divine breakfast we enjoyed here this morning! After enjoying delicious made-in-house beef in the Allegheny Omelete served alongside potatoes (with the perfect amount of salt) and a side of horseradish sauce along with an order of fluffy scrambled eggs with made-in house-turkey, we deemed it one of the best breakfasts around! Our waitress was adorable, friendly, cheery, and after she described several of the upcoming week's specials, we decided to come back again in the next few days for lunch!! What a friendly place with simply delicious food! Thank you!!“

“We first stopped into OTB in 2011 and fell in love with their burgers and awesome beer offerings. Fast forward 13 yrs and they still offer and awesome burger, great beer and coctails.
Located in the southside of Pittsburgh on Carson Street. They have "bike parking" out front. Fun intetior with bikes and cycling related decor, its fun and inviting. Great service and awesome burgers. Our favorite is The Dirt Rag Delight- burger, peanut butter, pickles and american cheese! This is AMAZING!!!!! Check them out!!!
Our server tonight Abrey was great

“One of my favorites in the city!“

“Had dinner there Saturday first time. Treehugger burger and gearhead burger were very good as were the fries. Had risotto balls for appetizer, terrible. Risotto mushy and flavorless. Chef needs to add chicken stock, heavy cream and parm and not overcook. Coating was good and crisp. Will go back , but try meatballs instead!!“
