Dare I say this is the best burger place in Pittsburgh? Might be. Whenever I want a burger I'm always ordering from here. I also enjoy the shoestring fries with cheese. Yum, read more

It was a crisp fall evening in the city of Pittsburgh. As I stared out my window, stomach growling and hunger rising, a bright light gleamed across the front lawn. Yes, it was a full moon and I knew it was time to venture boldly into the new Moonlit burgers in tahn. Rumors throughout the village had been steadily increasing about the delicious smash burger I was about to experience. Moonlit did not disappoint! The classic double was smashed to perfection, balanced neatly on a fresh bun with a generous portion of pickles to complement the savory patties. Don't wait for the next full moon like me, be an alpha wolf and get yourself a Moonlit burger! I can't wait to try the moonlit chicken burger and I'll report back soon. Side note, check your order before you leave. They forgot my fries and accidentally gave me the wrong order. It's a new place so I'm sure they'll work out the kinks but it's smart to check you have the right food! read more

Our first time to moonlit burgers was awesome!! We enjoyed our food - got the moonlit double cheeseburger and the fried chicken sandwich. I thought - oh should I not get the fried chicken sandwich at the burger joint...but I did not regret it at all! Juicy fried chicken, crispy breading, tasty slaw. My husband preferred the chicken sandwich to his burger. Fries are shoestring and well seasoned. Service was SLOW but friendly. We sat at the bar to be helped quicker, but it still was slow. Good positive vibes from the staff though. Soooo many people just ordering shakes and ice cream. I feel like they need to figure out a better system. read more

We had a great visit at moonlit burgers! The milkshakes are always amazing. The portions were very large! Coming after happy hour it was definitely crowded and there were a bit of a wait but was worth it. We thought they were speedy after ordering and we liked the hustle and bustle of the place. read more

I stopped by this Moonlit Burger location to take advantage of the Steeler Sunday $7 Double special. The service was super quick ordering at the counter. The burger and fries are absolutely delicious. I loved the shoestring fries! The staff were busy taking care of their customers. Moonlit has a reward program and that is a bonus. Next time, I look forward to treating myself to a milkshake! read more

Smash burgers are my thing, and Moonlit does them well. It took me quite a while to get here for the first time, but their online ordering for pickup was seemless and their staff was incredibly friendly. But for a meal costing over $20 for a burger, fries and drink - I was hoping to at least be full, and it's just not a lot of "bang for your buck." The shoestring fries are part of the problem. They aren't my favorite style to begin with but a $4 side is basically equivalent to a McDonalds small fries. This is a very cool spot though and I'm glad to see them doing well on Dormont! read more

Revisited the other day. The burgers here are great, just a delicious smash burger. The fries this time were a bit of a let down. You get a ton, but I'll skip them next go around. Hope to get a shake next time too. Fast service and ample street parking available. read more

Moonlit Burgers Dormont GOOD: Burger tasted pretty good, cooked perfect. Service was friendly and fast BAD: Value for the money "where's the beef?" Shake was far too small for the price and syrupy sweet. Moonlit burgers in Dormont had good reviews and good pictures of burgers, so I was eager to try it. My double bacon cheeseburger did taste good. It came out fast and they did cook it perfectly. My problem with Moonlit burgers is when the burger patties are smashed so thin you basically get four ounces between two patties at most for well over thirteen dollars - just a burger, no fries. Additionally, my shake seemed between 6-8 ounces, very small, and it was so sweet. It tasted like syrup; I had to stop consuming. I don't mind paying 21 dollars for a generous delicious burger and a large shake, but twenty one dollars for a tiny shake, and maybe four ounces of beef just doesn't cut it. I know this place is popular, but you still need to supply value for the dollar. read more

First time here after seeing all the reviews on Tic Toc! I grew up in this area and love the transformation of Dormont!! Moonlit Burgers is a fun, casual place with eclectic vibe and super friendly staff! The menu is simple and to the point and they offer everything a classic burger joint should have! There's a great bar (that even serves milkshakes) to go along with the small but fun dining room!! We had a double Bacon Double Cheese Burger($13) double patty, iceberg lettuce, tomato, sweet onion, garlic dijonnaise, martin's potato roll and Moon Bird Chicken Sandwich ($14) pickle brined chicken breast, smashville hot sauce, cabbage & jalapeno slaw, kosher dill pickles, signature moon sauce, martin's potato roll. Dormont is a great little area to walk around after a great dining experience at Moonlit Burgers!! Reminds me of Portland Oregon... read more

Moonlit is a favorite spot of ours for smash burgers in the South Hills. My favorite menu item is their Smash Fries - they are exactly like the burger (meat and all), but piled on their shoe string fries. So good! Prices are fair, but we love going during the Steeler games when they run a $6 smash burger special for dine-in. The atmosphere is casual, and you order at the counter and your food is ready shortly after. read more

I actually dream of Moonlit Burgers haha! Gosh, I love this place. The smash burgers are SO good - super thin with crispy edges. I love the Martin's potato roll bun. I love the moon sauce. I love the shoestring fries. One of my favorite places! To top it off, they have a full bar and serve Millie's ice cream (yes, you can get a boozy milkshake). They have gluten free options as well as vegetarian options! You order at a counter and then are given a table number where they deliver your food to you. Will always recommend this spot for a delish smash burger! read more

Moonlit truly never misses! By far the best smash burgers I have had in Pittsburgh. It is always executed perfectly with that amazing grill flavor. And don't even get me started on the soft, pillowy bun. You definitely have to eat the fries when they're hot and fresh since they're thin, but they're addicting so it's not a hard task! Moonlit always hits the spot, any time I'm craving a burger this is the only place to be. Truly can't recommend enough! read more

Having heard the hype of this new burger joint in town, I decided to stop by on the way home from work on a weeknight to see what it was all about. I ordered a burger, fries, and a milkshake. The restaurant was extremely crowded that evening and I had to wait a bit to pick up my order, which was to-go. It was certainly a lively environment inside, if not a bit chaotic. The shake was tasty, but not as special as the shakes I am accustomed to at Milkshake Factory. The burger was a "smashed" style which I normally appreciate. In this case, the burger was smashed so thin that it seemed a bit light on the meat. The fries paired well with the burger and shake, but did not stand out as particularly special. Overall, Moonlit is a welcome addition to the Pittsburgh burger scene, but not topping my list of favorite places for any of their signature items. I would consider stopping by again in the future only if it was convenient, but I won't be going out of my way for it. read more

I got a cheese burger and mini fries and they were so good and the staff was so nice. Gonna go again.

Had the double cheeseburger with onions, pickles, and their special sauce. A pretty solid smash burger that had a nice balance of all of the flavors. No ingredient overpowered another, which I liked. I'm personally not a shoe-string fry person, so they weren't my favorite, but I was happy to get them to share with the table. Probably the fastest service outside of a literal fast food joint! A cool spot especially on a nice day/night when you can sit outside. Parking can be tricky. read more

Delicious smash burgers, crispy shoe string fries, $5 happy hour, full bar, Millie's ice cream, what else do you need??? We went early on a Thursday evening and it wasn't busy at all.

Ambiance is V casual but the place was super clean and the staff was very friendly. Moonlit Burgers is a solid 5 stars and we will def be back. read more

I adore Moonlit Burgers!! There's just something about a thin smashburger with crispy edges & fried onions on top- a regular patty cannot compete. Their fries tasted a lot like McDonald's which was amazing as those are universally everyone's favorite fries Love that they have alcohol, so you can enjoy a cold one with your smashburger. They also have Millie's ice cream, a Pittsburgh favorite. If you were new to town you could stop here, grab a delicious smashburger, a cold IC Light, and Millie's ice cream all in a one stop shop. You would already be on your way to being a yinzer! read more

Found a small piece of plastic on the edge of my cup. Food is delicious though would reccomend

Very casual spot, you order at the counter and then are given a number to place on your table. It is seat yourself, so make sure you give yourself enough time in case of busy hours. It does get crowded! Our burgers were classic smashburgers, yummy and as expected. No more, no less. I would come back given the opportunity but wouldn't go out of my way unless craving a burger that you know what you're getting. They also had alcoholic drinks you could order! read more

I absolutely LOVE Moonlit Burgers. Pittsburgh, specifically the South Hills, really needed a place like this! I'm also happy that it's in a convenient spot for me. The place itself is small so if you go on a busy night, you will definitely wait but I feel like the wait isn't that bad because they get people in and out quickly enough. Each time I have been, the staff have all been really nice and made sure tables were cleared and that you got your food quickly. I've not had any milkshakes here, yet, but I can tell you the food is really delicious. The burgers are yummy, and in my opinion, the single is just the perfect burger. Everything they put on this burger from the pickles to the onions and sauce really compliment the meat itself. And the potato bun is so good! I can't also say enough about their fries. I'm not a shoestring fry type of girl but man I love theirs. They're salty and crispy just how fries should be. I also really enjoy the chicken tenders that are brined in pickle juice, makes the chicken even better. Will definitely keep coming here, it's such a stellar place to eat! read more

An absolute must do for a fun, relaxed meal. The boozy milkshake was out of this world! The french fries were phenomenal. A basket of shooting fries was enough for three of us. We all had cheeseburgers and they were really good too. We sat at the bar and the bartender was really great. I cannot remember his name, but he was awesome. Can't wait to go back next time in town, maybe for my birthday!!! read more

What an awesome place! The vibe is "moonlit" there is even a bar. Our burgers and fries were great, and affordable. My veggie burger tasted almost too good.. definitely cooked on the same griddle as meat burgers. That didn't bother me, but it may bother some! Order at the counter, no table service. read more

Finally was able to try Moonlit Burgers. Have been following them on Instagram for a year and finally made it. The restaurant is so cool inside. We loved our burgers. I loved my Moonlit Cheeseburger with special sauce. It was so good. My husband liked his plain burger too. They were juicy and flavorful. The fries were good but way too salty. A kid had a milkshake and it looked delicious. Next time, we want to try them. read more

This is a solid place for smash burgers. You are seated at a table, but order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table FAST! I got the classic single moon burger - simple but delicious. My husband said the size seemed smaller than the ones served at the downtown location. The moon sauce (which is absolutely amazing!) has a little kick so if you can't handle any level of spice - you've been warned. The shoestring fries, while not my favorite variety, were good for what they were - crispy with just enough salt. For $4 the amount is enough to be shared between 2-3 people. The milk shakes can't be missed - topped with whipped cream and a cherry. They also offer beer and cocktails. My husband thought the selection of beer was a nice surprise. Prices are fair and the atmosphere is very lively. Even if you have to wait, the tables free up pretty quickly. We plan to come back, because I want to try a chicken sandwich next! read more

Great burgers! Fries were a big portion, enough for 2 people to share. Definitely recommend!

Moonlit Burger is a cute retro-vibe restaurant in Dormont's Potomac shopping area. You order at the counter, grab a drink at the bar and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Quick service. Straightforward menu. The smash burgers were crispy and the cheese was gooey. Thursday dinner the place filled up. Recommend getting there early. read more
