    As a child of divorce, passing up this restaurant is an unforgivable paternal transgression. Dad's Dog & Burger is an intimate hole-in-the-wall with three four-top booths and 6 barstools, leaving the max occupancy pretty cozy, here. But the formula works out. 1. Place your order at the register 2. Wait very briefly 3. See God 4. Leave These made-to-order mustard-smashed burgers are perfectly seasoned, covered in melty American cheese, deeply caramelized onions, special sauce, and whatever else you like, and nestled between perfectly toasted, soft buns. Tucked lovingly into a paper wrap and buddied up with the perfectly cooked side of your choice, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better burger made this way. Long story short, the price is right, the staff is friendly, the place is cozy, and the food is good enough to eat two days in a row (true story). I'm so glad dad finally came home from going out for cigs so he could open up the best burger joint in Pittsburgh.

    Staff was SUPER friendly. Service was reasonably timed. I went in peak lunch time and only waited 8 mins for everything. Inside is a little small so if you want to dine in you might want to go at an off time to get a seat. Burgers have perfect amount of sauce and toppings. They give you a ton of fries. The milkshake tasted so fresh and like I was eating real strawberries. 100% recommend!

    I went and got a burger and the onion rings!! Both were good and classics you can't go wrong with. I need to go back and try the hot dog and fries.

    Order at the counter style diner. The staff running it were cheerful and helpfully answered the couple questions I had. Onion rings were a star. I also think they make their own ranch because it was especially good. Burgers tasted the way I was craving-awesome.

    Anyone who has ever dogged this place (pun intended) is just a hater and hates whimsy and joy. Really great food. Wonderful employees. Everything was great!! Burgers were the perfect smash burgers, fries are a McDonald's dupe (complimentary) onions rings were absolutely bussin. Small but super cute inside and gives major throwback vibes. I love dads dog & burger!!

    Sometimes in life the best things are the most simple. Dad's does an incredible job of creating a no frills burger that knocks it out of the park. The menu is reasonably priced and service is really fast. I truly love that you can get counter service and watch everything happen behind the scenes. This burger is the closest I've had to In-and-Out on the east coast and that is a high compliment coming from me.

    My wife and I went to Dad's Dog & Burger for diner. The place is very small with very limited seating. I ordered a hamburger and my wife and I shared fries and onion rings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food came out pretty quick. The hamburger was really good and so was the fries. I did not care for the onion rings. I would definitely recommend this place. I would also go again in the future.

    We loved visiting dad's dog and burger! The fries, burger and hot dog were great on a cold day. The place had enough seating and rotated tables quickly with quick cooking times. The portions were large and the atmosphere was fun within the place. Staff was super nice and we will definitely be back!

    Dad's has menu items that are just simple ingredients done really well. Their burgers / sauce reminds me of In-N-Out but Dad's has much better quality meat. Food takes about ten minutes and just fyi there's a 50¢ charge for using credit card instead of cash.

    I recently met a friend here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived around 1:30 pm to try to avoid the lunch rush since the space is small. When we arrived, a booth opened up so it was good timing. You place your order at the counter and then your food/drinks are brought to you. I ordered a hot dog with cheese, ketchup, and pickles. I also ordered a side of fries and a vanilla milkshake. The food came out quickly. The kitchen/grill is out in the open so you can see your food being prepared. Overall, my food was good. It tasted like a nostalgic old school diner, which I liked! The staff were all so so sweet. They also have complimentary match books and stickers which is a fun touch. Overall, I'm glad to have Dad's in the city and I'll def be back to try some other offerings.

    What a great addition to Bloomfield! Being inside Dads, a tiny, old school burger and dog spot, makes you feel like you're not in the city, but at a small town dive. Prices reflect that feeling too. All of the employees were super nice, trying to make connections with anyone who walked in. It's small and gets busy, but they seem to be managing well. Food was tasty, definitely scratched an itch for a simple cheeseburger and fries. I highly recommend the onion rings, maybe my favorite thing out of what we ordered. We'll be back soon.

    I wish I would've tried this spot sooner! They just recently adjusted their hours and are now open til 6 pm! I arrived around 4:30 pm on Thursday and it wasn't too busy! It is a small space so seating is limited, but we were able to snag a table! We got two double cheeseburgers, shared a hot dog and onion rings, and I got a strawberry milkshake. Everything was amazing! We were too full and couldn't finish the onion rings, so when we asked for a bag to-go, they also topped off our ranch, which was a pleasant surprise! This will definitely be my new go-to for a fast diner meal. It has a classic diner feel and the staff are so friendly! We met Dad himself and he praised his daughter for all she's done for the diner!

    A very solid, quick, smash burger. Despite the place looking busy, our food was ready in less than 10 minutes, and you can see them cook it right there. The sauce is great and they do not skimp on it so you have the flavor with each bite. The caramelized onions on top were a highlight for me. Sweet and a tad tangy, this is what was unique to this burger in my opinion. Way better than raw onion on top This is what I want when I say I want a smash burger

    The food was delicious and the price was great. They had a $5 deal that can be added for fries and a drink. Staff is very friendly.

    My husband and I have been coming here for years. The restaurant has a diner style vibe. Love the…read morebooths and you can choose to sit at the counter to eat. We typically always order the New York style hot dogs - mustard, onions, chili, and pickles. The potato salad which reminds me of my mother's. They do have other options for lunch and breakfast. I can always count on a smiling face and the ladies are always giving great service. The price point is good here.

    I really don't understand the reviews here. We had a poor experience. Our waitress was rude and…read moreunfriendly. I had the NY dog. My best comparison is that it tasted like a hotdog you'd get at the concession stand at a high school football game. The hotdog looked and tasted like a standard Oscar Meyer, the bun like Wonderbread, there was almost no chili on it. They truly made no effort to make it taste good. My wife got a Chicago dog. I'm not sure any part of it resembled a true Chicago dog. The fries were McDonald's style, They were OK but not quite as good as McDonalds. My wife asked for cheese on hers. They slapped a piece of American cheese over top the fries. That's a first for me. The only good part of the experience came at the end. We were waiting for our check (no one told us you have to go up front) when a younger waitress came over and was very friendly, as was the owner who was there at the counter. The bill came in at an affordable price too. I don't enjoy giving such poor reviews, but I don't think it matters here. These guys obviously have a loyal, regular clientele. They cater to them and not intruders like us.
