    If you like Five Guys, you will like Wayback Burgers... to an extent. It's Five Guys' little…read morebrother. I like Wayback because customizations go beyond adding mainstays like lettuce, tomato, and onion. It still boggles my mind that all the fast food giants still nickel and dime you for those three basic toppings. So yeah, props to the casual burger chains that still offer these up for free. And like Five Guys, you can add "premium" toppings like jalapenos, grilled onions, and mushrooms at no additional charge as well. In addition to burgers and fries, Wayback serves up chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and fried cheese curds. I was also impressed by the interior. It's pretty sleek with this sort of retro, wood-panel aesthetic to it. Wayback Burgers fits snuggly between, let's say the Burger Kings of the world and the boutique joints like Five Guys and Shake Shack. The only thing holding it back is quality and consistency. I remember my burger patties being dry to the point of breaking down and crumbling. This probably has to do with the fact that the patties seemed noticeably... small? Like 3 oz., tops. Maybe I'm imagining it but that's sure what it felt like. Getting a double here is basically a must.

    Good customer service great food and it's really clean. This is a feel like a fast food spot it…read morefeels like a restaurant only bad thing about it. It makes you poop a bit.

    Let's take a trip down memory lane…read more I was 20 years old. My particular skill set (or lack thereof) had led me down the path of obtaining a Communications degree as an undergrad in the Steel City. Had I known at the time a degree in communications was the equivalent of a participation award in the real world, I would have totally exerted the extra 8% of energy it took to obtain a BA in business or one of the many other degrees that is applicable to - oh, how do you say - ah yes, succeeding in life. But I ask you this, business grads, could you have handled the onslaught of CLASS PRESENTATIONS that us Comm majors endured?! I DON'T THINK SO. Ok, maybe you could have. I'm just lamenting my choice of degrees. I have a fear of public speaking for god's sake. HMM.. WHAT'S A GOOD MAJOR FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE SPEAKING PUBLICLY?! Why, Communications, of course! Uh, where was I going with this? Oh right, the Five Guys tie-in. So I was young and new to city life. I didn't have a lot of direction. All I knew was I liked burgers. So when my super advanced marketing class that guaranteed I'd find an AWESOME JOB AND WOULDN'T DIE DESTITUTE IN A DITCH asked me to do a complete marketing campaign on any company of my choosing, I went with Five Guys. There was a location in Oakland, right on campus that I'd walk by everyday from my SWEET SWEET apartment in Bouquet Gardens on my way to the Cathedral of Learning. I don't know if it's even there anymore. But I chose Five Guys for my marketing project because I thought it was this intimate, local brand unique to Pittsburgh. I legit thought it was a standalone restaurant that had one location. BOY WAS I WRONG. I got called out immediately two minutes into my presentation. All I could do was throw my hands up and plead ignorance. Had to explain to them that I was from the eastern part of the state where Five Guys had never before existed. Boy, that was fun. On one hand I felt like a complete fool who had lived my entire life up to that point in a bubble of ignorance. But on the other hand, I did get a really good ACTUAL single-location local burger joint recommendation from my classmates MID-PRESENTATION, mind you (Tessaro's, for anyone wondering). Ok, back to the topic at hand. And we gotta address the elephant in the room when it comes to Five Guys - price. $11 for a burger is a lot, no doubt. And $9 for a hot dog? No.. just no. Let's face it, unless it's like a 12" dog with massive girth, paying $9 for a hotdog isn't worth it. Five Guys is always going to fall between fast food and sit-down casual dining in terms of price and quality. Does Red Robin have better burgers? Eh, maybe. But it also requires you to eat at Red Robin. And trust me, no one wants to go down that dark path. One positive is they've been super cool by offering free delivery for the past, oh, I dunno, 7 months or so? That's when I first noticed it, anyway. That's not something many restaurants have done. MOD Pizza offered free delivery for about a week in January. Got me hooked on it. Then never offered it again. Thanks, MOD! Stingy bastards. If you are EVER craving a burger, Five Guys has to be one of the first places that pops in your head. Fast food burgers at McDonald's and Wendy's are slowly creeping up to Five Guys prices. I mean, for real for real, a Wendy's Dave Double or whatever the hell it's called is about $8 now. McDonald's is even worse. Burgers going for $9 at Micky D's? OH, HELL NAW. That's when that $11 burger at Five Guys doesn't seem so bad. And it comes with two patties and unlimited FREE toppings. That's where you get your money's worth. Seriously, if you are craving no-frills burger and don't want to take a second mortgage out on your house, then by all means, any fast food dollar menu will do. But if you're a topping addict like me who goes absolutely hog-wild on adding an obscene amount of fresh ingredients such as sautéed mushrooms & onions, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, AND MORE, then Five Guys has got to be the way to go.

    Hey friends! This brewery was suggested by our hotel as a local hotspot. So we decided to go for it…read moreand were so glad we did! Schaylor Brewing is a locally owned brewery that features a craft kitchen. They also sell cocktails in addition to freshly brewed beer. From brisket flatbread pizzas, to CBD pints to trivia night, Schaylor Brewery is a great time. We started off with a beer flight and a half-pint. My boyfriend enjoyed all four flavors on his flight! I got the Pineapple Express CBD pint and fell in love. We ordered the house burger and brisket flatbread pizza for our entrees. Both were delicious. My only distaste is that I would challenge them to use a smokier BBQ sauce to compliment the brisket. Service: very friendly. The owner came by and chit-chatted with us for a bit. Atmosphere: lively. We came on trivia night and could tell it was local hot commodity. Prices: Average Free parking. I hope you enjoy!

Walking in the brewery the inside is very dark away from the bar. Sat outside. It's a pretty big area with lots of seating. The bartender, her name is Felicia. She was really good, but she was challenged because she was doing a lot of the work and there were other waitresses who were kind of going through the motions. Had a few beers and honestly, they were pretty average. However, the smash burgers are dynamite. But for me, my wife and my son with the tip was around $80 which seemed like a lot. I don't wanna be too harsh because the food is really good, but the beers need to improve along with the service. Big props to Felicia, though who held it down.

A variety of cupcakes, brownies, doughnuts and/or other treats to choose from. I notice she does custom cakes for events. I definitely recommend you check her out.

    This review is based solely off customer service and this BOMB pineapple upside down cake…read more I saw some posts on Facebook for weeks about this place. From first glance it looked like just another local shop but it kept peaking my interest. After weeks of seeing good reviews, I finally decided to try it. She was having a sale because of national pineapple upside down cake day. I initially got 3 cake slices because it was either $4/each or 3 for $10. She was very quick to respond to all of my messages and the curbside pick up was seamless. On the way home I decided to try a piece a cake because it looked so good and after one bite I called her right back and asked if I could have 3 more slices! The cake is so moist it has like a little gooey-ness to it so it kind of melts in your mouth. Not too sweet and just overall delicious. Be sure that you really look for the bakery because it is small and kind of hidden off the road. I drove past twice before I saw it. All the dessert options sound and look delicious. I believe they have new items every week based on what customers like or request. Also, preordering is required. Not sure if it's just because of COVID or if that's a regular deal. I plan to go back soon ... by soon I mean in 2 days lol. I also think her hours are Wednesday through Saturday. You will not be disappointed!!!!
