I absolutely love that they have a dog burger. 5/5 just for that! Joking-but I do love it. I also love that they often have deals where you can BOGO. I love a smash burger and they do it very well here. I also really enjoy their shoestring fries with cheese. Can't go wrong. read more

Fantastic burgers! We came here before a Pens game and we tried (1) The Big Mick - Double, and (2) Moonlit Burger - Double. Both burgers were fantastic. The Big Mick is a bit of a mess: coleslaw, fries, and hot sauce on it, but it was just delicious. Service was fast, even though the line goes out the door. Finding seating was a slight challenge but we got a spot and the food arrived quickly. The place is LOUD, but it is a fun environment. read more

Great smashburger!!! I love the sauce . I am not a fan of shoestring fries, but these were good and cooked just right. read more

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. read more

Really good smash burger and fries and pretty reasonably priced (especially for 2026 standards). Also they don't skimp you on the fries mine came overflowing with a lot at the bottom of the bag. The service was also quick and they had plenty of places to sit inside. read more

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)! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Moonlit Burgers - Smash Moonlit Burger - Double Smash Fries - Burgers Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

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. read more

The burger was delish and the service was good. Remind me of back in the day home cooked

Firstly I can't believe I don't have a picture for this! Buttttttttt I can promise you that you will not be disappointed by this spot! I've been going here every Friday night for a few months and you can't get a smash burger for this price anywhere else! Love me some smash burger! I always get the classic moonlit double and sometimes go for triple as well when I'm hangry lol! I've tried the #4 best seller as well! And both of them are delicious!!! My wife gets the single classic with gluten feee bun and even the gluten free bun is great! We love this place and it's our regular go to places! Love this place! I do like the fact that when the uptown spot is closed the Dormont spot is open so def look at the diff locations if one is closed. I've always gotten it to go as at times it's BUSY in here! Maybe one day when it's slow we might go for dine in! read more

Stopped by before a Penguins game! We arrived around 5 ish and the line was to the front door. It is impressive how quickly they take orders all while providing great customer service. There are tables and seating at the bar. There is a patio with seating...we missed that. Looked like another great seating option! Orders came out quickly and the food was good! Adults can order the kids meal, great option! Beer selection was good! My youngest son liked his milkshake. You can refill sodas at fountain on side of cashier. If you want another beer you just walk up to bar and order. If you looking for service at the table this isn't the place, but it was so fast and super easy especially on a game day! I would definitely stop back in read more

I've only ever gotten takeout, so I don't know what the brick-and-mortar restaurant feels like, but I have gotten takeout from Moonlit burgers at least 20 times! There is just something about their double burger with cheese that hits the spot! I think it's the savory, crispy edges and the pickles and that amazing bun. The zesty coleslaw is a pleasant surprise, and delicious put in the sandwich. read more

Great food, great price, good service all right close to downtown Pittsburgh and Duquesne

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. read more

I love the burgers here. Just greasy and juicy enough. Fries are pretty salty but go well with the burger. At the Dormont location they have Millie's soft serve ice cream which quells that grease and salt as well. Great burgers! read more

Ate there twice in the past week. Loved the spicy chicken sandwich, it is very tasty and filling. The French fries and queso dip is awesome, had it twice. I would definitely go again. The bartender/waiters were friendly and helpful with all my questions about Pittsburgh. I enjoyed the atmosphere watching a baseball game and a basketball game on nice tvs. It's a fun environment without being crazy. read more

Went here with my family for my graduation party. We had most of the patio that is enclosed with heaters which was nice for the little kids to run and do their thing. You order before you sit and then they bring out the food to you. Food is super good as it's my first time going here and I love their fries. I'm so glad they offer gluten free buns since a lot of places do not. The service was lovely too and they were kind and not rude. I had to get a to-go box which they were nice about and a burger to go, still really nice service. Parking is not the best, I parked in the alley way and there is a lot of "no parking" signs along with construction so I do wish this place had better parking and it probably can get really busy with an event happening so plan ahead. read more

Great burgers with tan authors dinner feel! Very kind staff and a great vibe. Not for calorie counters!!

We really enjoyed our visit to Moonlit Burgers! My friend and I went before a concert at PPG Paints, so it was pretty busy... the line was initially out the door. However, it went by really fast! My friend and I both ordered the classic moonlit double and split an order of the smash fries. We noticed the basket of fries were pretty large so we had planned on splitting them anyways. The burger was really good! Greasier than I would prefer but I still would order again. The smash fries were also delicious and we liked the cheese! We didn't realize we could sub chicken instead of the beef patty, or we would have done that. My friend also ordered the spicy Paloma drink, which she really liked! We hardly had to wait for our food and the workers were all incredibly nice. read more

Popped by after seeing a fun play at Duquesne University's Genesius Theatre. We literally just beat the hungry hordes that descended on the place before a PPG Paints Arena show. Line was out the door and every seat was taken within 30 minutes. There's a reason they wait in line for this food. It was seriously one of the juiciest, most flavorful and different burgers I have ever eaten. The edges of the Classic burger are this crunchy mouth bomb and the sautéed onions and sauce with the ooey gooey melted cheese just blows the top off of the whole deal. Their fries were good and hot too! Decent beer selection and killer cocktail list including boozy shakes. This place is amazing. read more

Amazing burgers as always!! They were really quick preparing our order. Very hot and fresh. Love it here. It's called moonlit burgers- why does it close at like 8-9?? Shouldn't it be open late especially bc it's on a college campus? read more

I had an amazing celiac-safe meal here! I got the bacon cheeseburger with a gluten-free bun, fries (from their dedicated fryer), and a caramel milkshake. My favorite GF burger in PGH! They took celiac safety seriously--clearly marking my order and even cleaning the milkshake machine before making mine. Celiac note: I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2023 and have been on the hunt for safe and delicious gluten-free spots around Pittsburgh ever since. Everyone with celiac has different comfort levels when eating out, so I always recommend doing your own research and choosing what feels right for you. read more

Moonlit Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

It's really small inside so we sat outside on a chilly November night. The whole block is cute with little shops. Our burgers were great but I am bias toward smash burgers. The crispy edges and creamy cheese... just addictive!! Their boozy milkshakes were great too but I want a dairy-free option. I didn't see any on the menu but correct me if I'm wrong. We also ordered cheese fries that were shoe string small but really cheesy and perfectly salty. Highly recommend. It's worth most of the hype. I don't live in that area and don't go to the suburbs much but it's worth a quick trip if you're headed out of the city. They also have a small little bar. read more

Food was really good and the just right portion. I had the chicken (fried) house salad with their house made dressing. The salad was a good size. The only served you 2 tenders... would've like maybe an extra one. The tenders were fried to perfection. My husband has the burger and said it was delicious! He also mentioned he should've gotten a 2 patty burger. Lol he was famished. They also had boozie milkshakes. We didn't have those, but should've. Service was prompt. We didn't have to wait very long. The inside was filled with colors and eclectic lighting. There was also a really cute booth section with atomic pendant lighting. Worth the spot for a great burger! read more

Ordered delivery - my only problem was having an excessive amount of crispy ends on my smash burger, otherwise the flavor is excellent. Smash fries were also tasty and reheated well read more

I am a burger lover, but don't usually love smash burgers as I find them too thin and easily overcooked. With that said -- these burgers were fabulous! The burger, the bun, the toppings, the sauce -- everything was perfect. The side of fries is really large (you can probably share them for two if you wish -- although, yes I ate them all myself lol!). The ice cream here is also really delicious. It is really top of line soft serve from Millie's. Super creamy and flavorful. It was worth trying to find a place to park in this semi-busy area (due to the university and arena), and I'll definitely come back again! read more

Easily my favorite place in Pittsburgh to get a celiac safe, gluten free meal! SO GOOD and they're so great and knowledgeable about being gluten free. We've visited numerous times in-person and have gotten it delivered as well. read more

Loved everything about this place. It is a great spot for a quick lunch or for some drinks and a burger on a night out. Great setup inside, which adds to the fun of the place. If you are looking for a classic, juicy burger, this is one of the best. They are very thin style here, but still so flavorful. I ordered the classic double with fries. It is one of the best smash type burgers I have ever had. Everything tasted so fresh and all of the ingredients were perfect together. Highly recommend! read more

Moonlit Burgers is just your good old fashioned fast food that leaves you satisfied yet craving something more! Upon entering, you encounter the ordering line. Once you place your order, you grab your number and choose a seat. Then, they find you and deliver your order to you! I LOVE this process. You don't have to balance all of your food on a tray while trying to find a seat and hope that there's one available. It's seemless and quick! We both had a smashburger with bacon and shared some fries, and everything was delicious! Everything that you could want in a burger joint! read more

I've been wanting to go here for a while, and i'm so glad I finally did!! The workers were super nice, and the vibe of the restaurant was great. I loved all the neon lights. I got the regular double cheeseburger, but I wish I got the bacon cheeseburger instead because the garlic sauce on it was SO GOOD. Definitely getting it next time. I also love the variety they have on the menu and the fact they have cocktails, wine, AND beer. It was also a nice surprise that they had millie's soft serve. We sat at the bar and watched the Pens game - it was a great location. I will 100% be back here. It was all super tasty for SUCH a reasonable price! That was probably the best part tbh. Love an affordable good time and yummy dinner. read more

Ate here for the first time this past weekend before going to a hockey game. Place was very clean, staff was very nice, over all great atmosphere. I didn't realize I had to order fries in addition to my burger, so I had to steal some fries off my husband's burger but thats ok. The food was very very delicious. Reminded me of a upscale bigger version of white castle burgers. And I mean that as a big complement. Great flavor without being super heavy. Portion size for price was spot on. I would recommend for a nice sit down spot that won't break the bank and give u the right amount of food. read more

My wife went to Moonlit Burgers and did a take out order. I had a burger with fries. The burger was one of the better burgers I have had, And the fries where pretty good also. by the time I got the food it was not hot anymore. I will defiantly go again but eat there . I do recommend Moonlit Burgers. read more

I was really craving a burger so we decided to give Moonlit a try. We sat at the nearly empty bar and were quickly greeted, but there didn't seem to be much urgency to let us actually order anything. The manager ended up taking our food and drink orders because the bartender left the bar without even asking if we were ready for either. I had a couple of their cocktails and enjoyed both. The Equinox Daiquiri was the perfect end of summer drink and the strawberry mojito was good too. The food is presented without any frills but the classic double burger I got was really tasty, especially with the grilled onions and Moon sauce. I didn't enjoy the smash fries as much because I thought they were too saucy, but my boyfriend liked them a lot. The space itself is really cute and I think if I ever came back I would just order at the register and sit at a table instead of the bar. read more

Awesome burgers. Pleasant surprise. Not a knock on them, but I don't like shoestring fries. I knew what I was ordering, so... it didn't change my mind. Service was good too... and fast. Kind of lonely on Thursday night, I was alone with the employees.... Definitely should come here instead of hotel food. read more

I thought it was okay overall, not as good as I hoped. Got the double moonlit burger. It was decent. I like the patty and thought it was a good smash ratio. But could've used some salt/pepper. The cheese and potato bun was decent. Overall I think some veggies are needed to balance out the fats. Smash fries were mediocre imo. The fries are definitely on the crispy side, with minimal potato, very much like a shoestring fry (boring, my fault, whatever). I swapped the cheese sauce for a cheddar cheese, but unfortunately the cheese wasn't melted. (How can you serve it unmelted :(..??) The patty is nice to enjoy on the fries. The sauce, shoestrings, and jalapeños just don't jive well. It's kinda like dipping saltine crackers in thousand island mixed with jalapeños and jalapeño juice with cheddar cheese straight from the fridge dribbled on top. (The patty, onions, and melted cheese on patty was good though) Service was excellent read more

Pittsburgh, what has happened to your standards and tastebuds? 4.4-4.6 for this place? I feel like I ought to check myself into that nearby Mercy hospital for a stomach cleanse after eating here. The classic moonlit double came out and you couldn't even tell it was a smash burger, or even a "burger" at that--I initially thought it was remnant pieces from shaved beef (think Philly cheesesteak). The meat patties were no more than 1/8" each and it was a double. The only redeeming thing on the sandwich was the caramelized onions and their moon sauce. The fries were either too salty or not seasoned at all. They use Millie's ice cream to make their milkshake. All in all, the food was terrible and probably clogged my arteries so bad and was one of the worst meals I've ever had. Service was fast and attentive. Inside was clean and spacious. That's about that. Won't be returning. Save your health and your wealth for something else. You would've had a better meal and value from getting a double cheeseburger from McDonald's--at least their meat patties are thicker. Does that tell enough? read more

I've been here twice now before events at PPG and loved it both times!! I don't normally like smash burgers, but these are so perfectly cheesy and greasy that I keep coming back! The fries are thin and crispy too, just the way I like them. The place is a great size and I got a table no problem both times I went. The line moves quickly and you get your food quickly too. You order at the counter, get a number, then they bring it out to you at your table. I ordered cocktails both times as well. The first time they were made really well, while the second time, they were not, so it definitely depends on who is behind the bar. Overall, I will for sure be back again since it's delicious, quick, and a perfect location a block from PPG. read more
