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 wouldn't really call this a supper club to be honest but the place definitely carries a house music bar vibe and the back bar area and seating is very dimly lit, perfect for cozying up and enjoying a drink late night. The ladies' room was so dark, I mistook it for a storage area because I could only make out a white ladder in the corner that was being used as cute shelving. The place is seat yourself. Our waiter was not super friendly and didn't offer to give us napkins or anything when our wobbly table caused our drinks to splash all over the place. The cook served our chicken with a big smile and happy interaction and we really loved his personality. The bartender also stopped by to bus our table and he was very pleasant as well. We enjoyed the perfectly fried small plate cauliflower with the plum sauce and the fried cheese/garlic wonton bites with the sriracha mayo spicy dipping sauce. The fried chicken breast on the large plate was slightly overcooked with a maple gochuchang sauce that was very bland. We were so thankful that the large plate fried chicken came with a side salad to offer some respite from the heaviness of the fried dishes. It would have been great to have some side acidic or fresh vegetable options like Kimchi or something. Maybe we tried the wrong dishes and there are other not fried things that are delicious? The dirty martini cocktail was just so-so, not really much flavor at all, but the mojito was very good and refreshing. It's probably a good late-night place for a bite and drink.

BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

I went with the recommendation of the wings and got the Cajun seasoning. They were so good that I regretted asking for blue cheese for dipping. Then I added a side of Brussels sprouts and no hyperbole; these were the best I've ever had! I practically licked the bowl after.

Apteka is one of my favorite restaurants, period. One of my biggest gripes about eating out is…read morethat everything is always so unhealthy and expensive. This isn't the case at Apteka, where everything is homemade and plant based. Despite the love and care that is put into each dish, the prices remain low (your entire meal will be less than the cost of a single steak at a traditional restaurant). The ambiance is a bit chaotic, so I recommend outdoor seating if possible. They don't take reservations, so you will have to wait unless you show up well in advance of opening. All of this is worth it! Everything is good here, but the ice cream we had on our last visit was exceptional. I was so full, but I would have eaten a second scoop. If ice cream is on the menu, get it. They use a dense cashew cream, which is imo the best base for vegan ice cream. I wish they would open up in DC, but this is the type of place that can only exist somewhere like Pittsburgh. If you are in the area, run there!

Excellent Polish food on the limited menuand an excellent matching wine list, thoroughly modern. It feels sleek and casual, with a professional and knowledgeable crew. Seating is chaotic since there aren't any reservations and you sit wherever there is space. I had fried pierogis and a cold beet soup. Packed with flavor and excellent on a warm summer night. The wine went so well with the food; I think it was all Eastern European wines, since what grows together goes together.

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.

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.

LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

Nowhere to sit, every single table was full. When a party finally left we snagged the dirty table that was never cleaned while we were there. We tried to get food from Mijo but were told before we ordered it would be a ln hour wait for food. We had the time but wasn't sure we wanted to wait that long. We grabbed a couple beers from the bar and the wait wasn't long. The bartender was not terribly pleasant, but he was buried and there were some other patrons that were not being patient or kind. It is REALLY loud - as expected, concrete floors, wood tables and metal chairs, high ceilings and nothing to dampen the sound. All of that said - it's a great space. All the food we saw looked great and we Will definitely be back at some point.
