Ok Michael's Tavern, I see you! My friends and I stopped in here for lunch during our bike ride…read morebecause the place we were originally going to go was closed. What a great surprise! We didn't expect much from a dive bar with a "No MC colors" sign on the door, but boy were we wrong! When we first walked in, a couple people at the bar said hi and made a quick comment that made us laugh. The bartender, who was also our server, was super friendly and attentive. She offered to let us try some of the wing sauces (all made in house) with house made chips, and that's where it started. How are they all so good?? When our food came out, we still weren't expecting much. I didn't even take a picture because I figured it was just dive bar food. I was wrong! Everything was just as good as the wing sauces! I ordered the buffalo chicken salad tossed in Michael's wing sauce. The lettuce was crispy, the chicken had great breading on it, the ranch is made in house and delicious, and the salad was HUGE! My friends ordered a buffalo chicken wrap, a cheesesteak and a fish sandwich. Everyone was shocked. We were all almost too full to ride back to our cars. The beer and seltzer selection is great too. The bathrooms were clean. They have a pool table in the back. This place is great. We will be back again, no doubt.

This is by far the most underrated spot in Pittsburgh and I really hope they get all of the love they deserve!!

We got a couple of canned drinks to try and I really enjoyed their tea and their coconut milk.

We chose the customizable Hot Pot Combo B and couldn't resist adding in some prepared dishes like dry sauteed string beans and chongqing spicy fried chicken. The sichuan spicy butter broth was just fantastic to cook everything in! I thought that all that we ordered was a good amount of food and we were stuffed when we left. They're open until 2am every day which is much needed for Pittsburgh's late night food scene!

It doesn't sound like it would all go together, but it is kind of like the best of all worlds and I ate each component separately. It came with two really great sauces -- one which was super garlicky and delicious (although not something I would put on the sweet plantains!). This is a really small place, so you have to be lucky to get one of the handful of stools which are the window seats. I think that was the one thing that kept me from coming to eat in here in the past. I'll definitely be back, as there a a lot of options to try here. Buen provecho!

My youngest son and I ventured off to Burgatory. We arrived around 5:00 on a Thursday. It wasn't very busy and we were seated quickly. He had a Cookie Monster milkshake and I had an IC Light draft. He opted for the basic burger and I had a bacon burger. We split an order of fries and our burgers came with chips. I had asked for bbq sauce on my burger (which I think they forgot). Burger was very tasty and cooked as requested. Chips were good. I didn't care for the fries. Not the flavor I was expecting. My son enjoyed his milkshake and burger. Our server was attentive and friendly. Restaurant appeared clean. Two burgers, fries, and a milkshake was $42.00. I don't typically go out for burgers but I would return to Burgatory. It was a quality experience.

I've heard so many mixed things that I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed every aspect of my experience. It kind of has dive bar vibes but the food and drink options are definitely on the elevated side. They open at 4 on Sundays and I got there around 4:15. It was already pretty busy (and by the time I was leaving, every single table and bar stool were occupied). They have standard booth seats along the windows, hightop tables in the middle and bar seating along the bar that curves along the back of the restaurant. I chose to sit at the bar since I was by myself. I was promptly greeted by the bartender. They don't hand you copies of the menu, you have to scan the QR code to access. It is easy to read and follow with sections for drinks, specials (this time they were Wicked themed as a nod to the show at the Benedum) and a sushi section. I ordered the street corn dip. The chips were a bit overcooked and the dip was just OK. I thought it was pricey for what you got. The star of my meal, though, was the patty melt. It had the burger, a bacon jam, caramelized onions and was absolutely delicious! It was served with fries. I considered ordering sushi but wasn't sure what to expect. The patrons sitting on either side of my ordered rolls and they were a nice size and looked delicious, so that is something I would consider ordering in the future. It was a place I'll likely be back to because of the proximity to the theater (although their prices definitely reflect that). Just note how crowded it always is and give yourself plenty of time if you plan on heading here for dinner before the show.
