Easy walking distance to the parking around Duquense U and PPG Arena. Stopped in before the Adam Sandler show. Steady college crowd. Clean and fast. Sat at bar and both of us had the Classic double. Food was terrific!!! Huge bar selection and staff is on their game!
Only reason the atmosphere gets a 4 is because it's a college joint so expect a lot of younger people.

Memorably great food! Staff was super friendly. Being able to order beer and other drinks with lunch was nice too. Will definitely be eating here during our next trip to the Pittsburgh area.

The food was overpriced and just ok. Nothing special for the price. The staff acted like they had better things to do.

Where do I start? This place is awesome. I recently moved to Pittsburgh and have been here twice. Top notch/delicious smashburgers and shoestring fries- easily a top 5 cheeseburger I’ve ever eaten (my wife and I like to try cheeseburger places everywhere we go, so plenty to compare to). Please do some research on what a smashburger is before coming here and comparing it to places that make burgers with big thick 10oz or 12oz patties. The smashed thin patties are that way on purpose- that’s part of what makes them so good. I recommend the moonlit double, exactly how it comes and the fries. Or, if you’re a “mustard only” or “mayo only”
burger person, ask for the moonlit sauce on the side, so you can just add the mustard or mayo (but still try the moonlit sauce). Greg the manager is friendly and checks in with everyone to ensure their food is good and they’re happy. Our food and the service has been great both times, but I assume he would address any concerns. We just haven’t had any! Fair prices for the portion size and food quality. I highly recommend this place!!!! Check it out if you haven’t already the next time you’re craving a good cheeseburger and fries!

This was a great place for a quick smash burger. We went here before a concert at PPG Paint and the restaurant was packed. We were in and out with in 30 minutes and our food was hot and delicious. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. Especially the fries with cheese sauce.

Excellent burger, amazing fries. When I saw shoestring I was worried they would be frozen and bland. They weren't, they tasted like fresh cut.

Our family of three stopped before a show at PPG on a busy Friday. The turnaround time was incredibly fast despite a full restaurant and a line out the door. The food quality was on point. It was great, they even played music from the headliner and had colored balloons decorating the order area celebrating the band.

Hands down, one of the best smashburgers I’ve ever had—and that’s saying something! We make it a point to stop by Moonlit Burger anytime we’re in the Pittsburgh area, and it never disappoints. Honestly, we like to think of ourselves as a bit of burger connoisseurs (smashburger snobs, if you will), and this place consistently knocks it out of the park.
The food is incredible, the vibes are great, and the place is always spotless. Plus, the staff? Super friendly and welcoming—like the kind of people who genuinely seem happy you’re there. If you’re on the hunt for the best places to eat in Pittsburgh, do yourself a favor and put Moonlit Burger at the top of your list. Your taste buds will thank you! 🍔✨
