French Fries
David T.

Walked down from my office to take my new staff member to lunch. Always love the classic burger because it's such a good Smashburger. The fries are more than enough for three people. Not the cheapest but nothing's cheap anymore.

Shoestring Fries
Karen H.

We stopped by on a a Thursday during winter break and it was pretty quiet. We placed our orders and picked a table and our order came out what feels like immediately. The burgers and fries are delicious as always! One thing to note is that the city got rid of the street parking directly in front of Moonlit so we had to drive around for quite some time to find street parking.

Classic Moonlit Double with shoestring fries

Moonlit Burgers is always a hit! You order at the counter, get a table number, find a table & they bring it out to you. They also clear your tables! Service is usually pretty quick, especially on my most recent visit on a busy Friday night. Their smash burgers are perfect - thin, juicy with crispy edges. I love that it comes on a Martin's potato roll. The shoestring fries are delicious. They have a full service bar and serve Millie's ice cream for cones and shakes (you can get your shake spiked too)!

Moon Bird Chicken Sandwich
Christina S.

Tried this place last night for the first time before home Pens game and the line was out door but it moved fast! You order at the counter, get a number and then they deliver the food to where you are sitting. My husband snagged an empty stool seat and I waited in line and ordered. I give it a 5/5 for the quickness on a packed game night. Our drinks came out within a minute or two of sitting down and then surprisingly our food came out almost immediately afterwards. They have a nice little bar in the back, lots of seats throughout the store which mostly are large communal tables and some private booths. I tried the Moon bird (chicken sandwich) based on a recommendation and enjoyed it. The shoestring fries were just okay. My husband had the double cheeseburger and the patties were so thin!!! He was extremely disappointed. I am curious if the food would be a little better on a non-game night. A lot of people have mentioned that it's super greasy and we didn't notice that at all with our meals. I was glad I went for chicken instead. They have a a nice little drink selection. He had a beer and I had the spicy margarita. The milkshakes looked amazing and you can add a boozy option for a few dollars more. All in all it was a good quick, filling meal before the game and cheaper than eating in the rink!

Smash Moonlit Burger - Double Smash Fries
Amy A.

Took my brother here, who is a burger connoisseur. Wait was quick, 10-15 min or so at 6 pm on a Friday. Our double smash burgers and smash fries came out in minutes. He was absolutely blown away by our meal. Now I have to take him here every time he visits. I've had moonlit burgers via Uber Eats before, but it was an honor and privilege to have been able to enjoy fresh off the grill.

Food was pretty good, my bf said he felt "gluttonous" Anyways, I would recommend! The staff was very friendly. Good vibes in Moonlight burgers all around.

I was actually very surprised when I walked into the spot. I've drove past this location so many times not even aware it was there. It is located at the old Primanti's that sat at the corner of Penn Avenue in Garfield. We decided to come here one evening when the power was out. When I say that was a good call. When you walk in go to the register place your food order, they give you a number and you take a seat wherever you would like, and they will bring the food to you. I'm not a huge Smashburger person however my 22-year-old and 17-year-old boys are big fans of Smashburgers. They said it was one of the best ones that they've had in the city. To be honest for me to not be a Smashburger person I will say I truly enjoyed the flavor of this Smashburger. They have a few options to choose from when it comes to the burgers and a few other options of other items. We also ordered fries and they give you the shoestring fries and they were perfect. The staff was also very friendly. They also had a bar. Overall, we will be back again. Great job Moon lit burgers.

Andrew T.

A very solid smash burger spot. If we are just talking about satisfying a craving for burger and fries, straight up, this place does the job. I went for the classic double, and fries. My partner had the single with regular onions. We both enjoyed our burgers and the fries are thin and crispy.

I get to Pittsburgh about every ten years. The first stop in town and the last stop out of town is…read morePrimanti Bros on the Strip. I live in Chicago which is basically the mecca for sandwiches, (sangwich if you're a local) but Primanti is the gem of the east. I habitually get the capocollo (gabagool). That means bread - meat - fries - slaw - bread. I also have an Iron City because - well - Iron City. This trip I started the Pitts-burger. Soft bread with a perfectly spiced burger patty and the some delicious fries and tangy cole slaw. This was a truly remarkable sandwich. I didn't eat it as much as I experienced it. Nikki - the young woman who ran the packed joint like a well-oiled machine - really took good care of us - and always with a smile. When we were getting ready to leave after a couple days in the Steel City - we went back to see Nikki and try a new sandwich. We both went with the pastrami. It was amazing. My buddy and I have traveled a lot and have eaten many pastrami sandwiches, but the Primanti spin on the classis is peerless. We said good-bye to our new friend, Nikki, and headed back to the Windy City - planning our next trip to Pittsburgh. and Primanti Bros on the Strip.

Primanti Bros. has been around since the early '30s, and they have a pretty extensive menu offering…read moreapps, sides, wings/tenders, sandwiches, etc. We ordered in-person of the Pastrami & Cheese, which came with cheese, fries, slaw, and tomatoes nestled between Italian bread; I also added red onions and requested a cheese up on the side. The sandwich itself was okay - just wished that the pastrami was actually hot - it was a little weird, since the items seemed to have been heated on the grill. Bread was forgettable. The fries were tasty, as they were hand-cut; honestly, they were better pulled out of the sammie and eaten separately with the cheese sauce. Staff were friendly, and there were a handful of people dining in; we were thinking of stopping by earlier, but there was a line during the lunch rush. You can also order online for a convenient pickup. Metered parking available in the area. +cheese sauce +tasty fries +friendly staff

I've really enjoyed dinner at DiAnoia's, so this was my first time stopping in for lunch and I'm so…read moreglad I did! Lunch has a different setup than dinner. You order at the register and then find your own seat. On a random Friday around noon, the tables were almost completely packed, which is always a good sign. After seeing what everyone else was eating, it seemed like the meatball sandwich was the clear favorite...so of course, I had to order one. It did not disappoint! The meatballs were delicious, served on crusty Italian bread with a mix of cheeses, including blue cheese, which gave the sandwich a unique flavor that really worked. Absolutely delicious! DiAnoia's is already a must-go for dinner, but I'd definitely add lunch to the regular rotation when I'm in the Strip District. Great food, casual lunch vibe, and clearly a popular spot for good reason.

Came for lunch and sat on the roof. Very pretty with lots of plants and bright colors…read more We started with the chorizo app. Super yummy, and the bring all their chimmichuries to try. My favorite was the roasted onion. We each had a sandwich. The bread looks hugged but the crust is soft enough to bite into, and the bread itself very light. I had the tilapia, which was well seasoned and browned nicely. The braised beef was delicious as well. Definitely give this a try if you are in the area.

This is a challenging review. I haven't been to Gaucho in a while. The last time we visited was in…read morethe downtown location and it was really very good--reminiscent of the Strip location, but a little fancier and with more room to sit. If I hadn't been here before, I would probably rate my Gaucho experience four stars, but this spot (I hate when people say this, and I hate when I sound like those people!) just isn't what it used to be. Dammit. I went there. I had my favorite sandwich--the braised beef. It used to have a really nice, pronounced rosemary flavor. Not so much anymore. And it used to come on a really beautiful slab (not an overstatement) of Gaucho's delicious focaccia. Now it's on an ordinary roll that doesn't stand up to that slow cooked, beef. The beef was still good and tender and flavorful, and the portion is still generous, but the sandwich overall isn't the knockout it once was. It wasn't a bad sandwich. It was a good sandwich. But it wasn't the sandwich I went for. My husband's carne sandwich was on the same ho-hum roll. (Bring back the focaccia as sandwich vehicle, guys!) The beef was flavorful with that nice Gaucho char, but it was a little chewy and hard to eat. Like my sandwich, the bread was the crime here. It was a decent sandwich, but a shadow of its former self. The potatoes...the travesty of the table were the greasy, small, overly charred flimsy potatoes. Maybe you'll remember the roasted papas from the old Gaucho days: chunky, crispy on the outside, toasty and roasty, served up in a wooden bowl. These were definitely not that. (Also, does anyone remember that old-time Strip District Gaucho bowl of corn? The best best best.) The service was very fast and very friendly. The gentleman who brought our food brought us a complimentary dish of all four chimmis--which was so nice, and they are exactly the same as they've always been and absolutely delicious. (Pimenton will always win first place for me. Slather it on a piece of cardboard and I might eat it.) Overall, our meal was fine, but I'm sad to know that Gaucho at its best is in our rear view.
