Burghers Brewing Company Lawrenceville Tap House

Stopped by to pass some time. Tried the Aufstoin. Awesome doughy malt lager. Tried the grilled cheese. Was great four kinds of cheese on toast with a tomato and pickles. Added pickled onions. Yummy. Also have had blended mushroom beef patty burgers and the fries never disappoint.

This was probably the best smash burger I have had in the city! The flavors were off the charts and the fries had the perfect crisp on them. Our waitress was very kind and attentive to our needs. We were there earlier in the afternoon so it wasn’t too busy which was nice. Would highly recommend checking this spot out!

Burgh'ers in Lawrenceville is a great place for burgers and beer. It's a casual, industrial spot with friendly staff. I had the Oakland burger and it was perfectly cooked and included locally sourced toppings. I didn't try any of the beers, but they had an impressive selection with house brewed options. You can also get a Mini Smash if you have less of an appetite.

Good food. Watch your receipt. Prices don't match the menu. I ordered the morningside $15 with chilli mac $4 charged $20. Originally server didn't give me fries. The menu clearly states "upgrade your fries." I took the dollar discrepancy out of the tip.

The least busiest of the breweries we visited, but it was the most interaction we got with staff, a big plus in my book... From the outside it was non-desript, but the inside revealed a sizeable taproom/restaurant setup with a decent sized bar to go along with it all. Though we did not eat here, we could see they had a nice sized menu and it was made to order. For beers we had each a lager and a dunkel, very good offerings that came in nice cone-shaped glassware - definitely out of the ordinary. Service was spot on and super friendly as we shared our experiences on the day and they genuinely were receptive to the whole discussion. Though it was a little hard to find, it was worth the effort and definitely worth a return trip..

My wife, Amanda, and I stopped in for a bite to eat this past Wednesday. Let me tell you, it is just sooooooo delicious at Burgh’ers! Jonathan M served us and he was nothing very nice and cordial! The good…woooo! I had the Fox Chapel burger and it had so much flavor with the balsamic glaze along with the shoestring fries and Coke! We will definitely come back as we had in the past and would recommend it to anyone who’s in from out of town and need a quick bite to eat! It is so great, wonderful and delicious!!!

Food was great. We loved the pretzel appetizer! Best pretzels we've had (and we always get the pretzels at places). I had the squirrel burger and it was amazing. My wife ordered chickenclub and loved it as well. Erin was our server and she was super nice and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Will be back😄

My wife and I got two smash-burgers, the Pittsburgher and the Maggie's Farm, with fries, pierogies, and a selection of Burghers' own beers. Everything was so excellent, including service and atmosphere, we are counting down to our next Pittsburgh visit. Outstanding!

Saturday lunch while in Lawrenceville. I'm not usually a burger sit down guy, but in searching for lunch spots in the area, I kept seeing recommends for this place. It started in trying to go to the south side location but it was just a window, and I really wanted to experience the full outing so we doubled back to the strip and Larryville. Anyway - we sat down and were helped immediately by a very animated waitress with red hair? Place is very industrial - large signage and some tv's - kind of like a Buffalo Wild Wings. I ordered the double stack make your own with beef, regular bun, cheddar, bacon and burgher sauce. As my side I swapped for mac and cheese. The food came out fairly quick. The burger was VERY GOOD. Seasoned nicely, stacked high, and really just a solid burger. I added an extra side of the burgher sauce as well to dunk the burger in which was really good too. The macaroni was good - just wasn't hot. The cheese sauce was nice and flavorful, not bland at all Overall - I would come back here. And I would recommend.

When you first walk in, you're greeted by a sign that says "Seat Yourself." It took a little while before someone came over to take our order, so service felt a bit slow at the start. I ordered the full Smashburger of Shadyside, which comes with Swiss cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, roasted mushrooms, and mayo. The patty was definitely smashed as advertised, but I found it a bit too thin and dry for my taste--I usually prefer a burger with a bit more juiciness and some pink in the middle. Decent burger overall, could be better with a gently toasted brioche bun. All burgers come with a side of fries, but I upgraded mine to the Dirty Fries for an extra $4. They were topped with chili, cheese sauce, pickled onions, cilantro, and roasted chiles. Good ratio of toppings to fries, definitely was full by the end of the meal. Plenty of street parking is available. I didn't try any of their beers or ciders, but it seems like a cool place to hang out for a drink--definitely has that laid-back vibe.

Stopped in while visiting Pittsburgh, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the spot. I'm not sure if the air conditioning was out, but it was very warm inside, we were literally sweating while eating! The burgers were decent, but the buns could really use an upgrade. A brioche bun would've made a the burger 10X better. Overall, nothing really stood out. That said, the service was great, and the layout of the restaurant was cool. It just wasn't our top pick.

A group of six of us went here after a quick stroll through Lawrenceville, and it was a mistake. The sign at the entryway said "seat yourself," so we began moving two small tables together. A server immediately reprimanded us for doing so, then told there was a bigger table in the back. One of the girls went to pull up a chair to the end of the table, and the same server got an attitude with her. The same server interrupted us and said "123, eyes on me," to take our orders, and it was obvious that it wasn't a joke. One member of our party specifically asked if the kids grilled cheese had the same cheese combination as the adult one, and our server said yes. This is an important detail. The food came out relatively quickly, and it was good, but nothing remarkable. However, the member of our party who ordered the grilled cheese immediately noticed that it was just a Kraft single and not the same cheese blend as the adult sandwich. The server acted severely inconvenienced when she asked to send the sandwich back. I am so, so disappointed in the service we received. None of us had been here before so we were excited to try something new, but we were all let down. I think it's safe to say that none of us will be back.

Came here after walking on the trail over the weekend! The indoor was closed for a private event, and we weren't sure we would be comfortable outside since it was a hot day. The shaded pergolas were great and they had music playing on the patio! The service was great with a little outdoor window to order at! We got the polish hill burger and a specialty burger. The shoe string fries were very good! The burger patties were smashed and crispy, I think the patty could have been more flavorful but the overall burger was good. and I'd definitely recommend the mojo sauce. They had about 8 beers on tap, and it seemed like there was something for everyone.

I got the Oakland burger this time. But honestly I wanted to order multiple because I was having a hard time deciding. It was so good. I can't wait to go back and try another or make my own. Our waiter was super nice. And it wasn't super busy we went on a weekend night. Sat down right away. Also easily found parking on the street.

Our server, Lauren was on her first shift at Burgh'ers and she was cracking us up the whole time with funny jokes and quips! She made our experience so much better. The burger was awesome - I was starving so I got a triple and it was exactly what I needed. Best part about the extra patties is that they give you an additional piece of cheese on each patty - pro move. If getting a triple, I would recommend asking for extra sauce on the burger. Fries were also really good. The restaurant is an industrial vibe, nothing crazy, but overall a good time.

The atmosphere was OK, the burger was good, the beer was best. Those metal chairs and bar stools may be easy to maintain but they are not comfortable and on a cold evening...they are cold. I built my own burger and I enjoyed it-chili, cheddar, bacon, and jalapeño. The pretzel app was very good. I had 4 different beers and they were all excellent. Our server, Steven, was attentive and did a good job. The fries were great!

Casual smash burger joint in Lower Lawrenceville. The food was delicious -- the themed burgers were fun, and the Polish Hill burger was very tasty. They had a variety of seasonal beers on tap, and everyone in my group who tried one was happy with theirs. The portions are very filling! We all ended up getting the mini smash (single patty) vs the full smash (double), and between all of the toppings that come on the burger and the pile of delicious rosemary fries on the side, even the guys were full after that. This Burgher can't wait to go back and try their other burgers :0)

So many burgers, beer, and good vibes. I ordered the mini smash Oakland with fries. My husband ordered the Korean fries chicken with fries and a side order of mac n cheese. We had an array of beers. Everything was amazing. If you go, be sure to ask for Jen. She was our bartender and she's the best.

Great GF experience here! Dedicated GF fryer for fries which were awesome. Also had a chili cheese dog (no bun) as an appetizer. Cheese sauce (also awesome) was GF. All around 10/10 experience. Server was super knowledgeable and helpful!

My personal opinion is that a brewery that also serves food is either good at the beer or the food, never both. With that said, the beer was average, but the food was delicious! Great burgers and fries and the app was flavorful as well! Service was quick and the restaurant was a modern bar vibe. We throughly enjoyed our experience, and will be back for the smash burgers!

Service was fabulous! I can't remember out waitresses name but she was very attentive and had a great personality. Food came out speedy fast. I felt that the food was a little expensive for it just being burgers and fries. Our meal came out to be $80 when we only got a draft beer and water to drink... Ambiance is very casual. Don't have to dress up. Overall it was a good burger and so were the sides, but the meal felt overpriced. Burger reminded me a lot of five guys.

I haven't tried a smash burger and this place was recommended and worth it! The group I was with all enjoyed their burgers and would recommend any of the burgers they have. The dirty fries weee great but messy. The service was great and accommodated our group of 15 well.

Good burger but smaller than expected. Good flavor, courteous service, clean restaurant.

It was good! Last time we were here, we were a little drunk so the food definitely hit different! Everything still tasted good. I got a burger this time and subbed the cheese which was no extra cost! The smash burger was really good! My fiancé enjoyed his Korean fried chicken sandwich too. Their shoestring fries are better than I remembered! Our server was kind and attentive, and I spilled a cup of water and she kindly cleaned it up. Great, chill spot to eat and chat and I appreciate it's not too loud!

These burgers lived up to the hype! I got the Oakland burger and the Deuschtown Pilsner and both were very very good. The Deuschtown Pilsner may have been the best brewery beer I've tried in Pittsburgh. Inside is decorated nicely, and the staff were friendly.

Went there for lunch and had a great meal. Server was good and the food was excellent. I had Pittsburgher and it was great. Will be back.

I got a smash burger and fries. Everything was super hot and fresh. I like my food a little more plain and this was just right. The service was ok and the dining area is cute but a little crowded.

nice vibes, interesting menu w lots of choices, great service. The food is really good!!!! The fries are perfect (just a little salty) pro tip: get that house made cheese sauce on the side w those fries

I hadn't been here in years but met friends for lunch. I had the Polish Hill burger, comes with a fried pierogi on it and caramelized onions. Definitely one of the better smash burgers I've ever had. My husband had the Forest Hills burger with impossible meat and loved it. The names of the burgers are all Pittsburgh neighborhoods! Some of our friends had the chicken sandwich which came with two huge pieces of chicken stacked high. They also have a good draft list of their beers and some other craft beers. They've leaned in hard on the black and gold theme, right down to a yellow toilet and sink in the bathroom!

Great food, which goes well beyond the burgers, which are all creative and fantastic. The most recent visit had great service at the bar from the bartender who was very attentive to our food and drink needs. The happy hour offerings are pretty good as well with two dollars off the draft beers, and the various small plates.

My boyfriend introduced me to my new favorite burger joint in town! Sometimes you need a greasy burger to satisfy a craving. The food is high quality, fast and delicious. I ordered the Shadyside burger to-go and I cannot stop thinking about it! I also ordered it on a butter toasted, gluten free bun, which was so soft and fresh. Love a gluten friendly place. The burger comes with a half order of thin fries, which were salty and crispy. Perfect to dip with ketchup! Overall the food was slightly salty, but I'm not complaining. I can't wait to come back and dine in!

I came here with a group on a weekday afternoon and they were able to accommodate us. Our server Steven was super helpful and friendly. I ordered the Polish Hill smash burger because it was recommended to me by a friend. I have never had a burger with a pierogi on it before! Unfortunately, both the burger and the fries were wildly over salted, almost to the point of being inedible. While I enjoyed the casual ambiance I probably won't return because frankly I just didn't enjoy the food.

Went back here with a friend recently. I once again thought the burgers were just okay. I got the Maggie's Farm, which came with some spicier toppings (diced chiles and horseradish). The burger had a nice kick but it was just dripping with sauce (they called it 'rum aoli', but whatever it was, there was too much of it). I did try the pierogies this time as an alternative side to fries and quite enjoyed them. I got two pierogies, nicely crisped and slathered with a big pile of sweet caramelized onions. Very nice.

Good service with Tehya N. Enjoyed our burgers they were big and messy may need to try another burger next time.

Ambiance was great! We sat in the beer park, which was very spacious. The establishment has an order window accessible from the outside. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. My burger originally came with the mojo sauce (slightly spicy) and she gave a perfect alternative. Unfortunately the fries and pierogies were too salty. Both our burgers were good, as anticipated. Craft beer selection was impressive. I had a hard seltzer, Pgh produced. The hubby had an IPA.

We stumbled upon Burgh'ers Brewing on our trip to Pittsburgh and thought we would try it out bc of the cute name, burgers and beer. We were not disappointed, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the food and beer were on point. I had the Forest Hills burger which had all my favorite things plus a honey sauce. Who knew I'd love honey on my burger, but it was delicious! They also had great beers which they said change regularly. Would definitely recommend to others in the area

Ok so this review is for there new location . First off the atmosphere is off the charts! This place was bumping! Had a build your own double and it was perfectly cooked . My wife had the Pittsburgher andnit looked fantastic! And for the beer, it was ice cold! Give this place a try.

It's a really nice, clean place! They play great music and the atmosphere is fun. The staff is very nice. I ordered the Blotted Line West Coast - Nelson Sauvin. It's a west coast IPA. Very good and crisp. I didn't try any food, but it all sounded delicious. Next time I'm in Pittsburgh I'll definitely come back here... and try the food!

I've been meaning to try this place for a long time because I had heard good things! I was not disappointed. It's a fun space with a good beer selection and awesome burgers. I decided to go with the award winning blend of burger and shrooms and it was quite good. I ordered the Maggie's Farm which came with smoked Gouda, horseradish, caramelized onions, roasted chilis and rum aioli. I also got the rosemary fries. The fries were loaded with fresh rosemary and very good albeit a little too salty for my taste. I also had a Fern Room IPA and a Nickelodeon IPA, both house brews, both hazy and both done very well. I definitely recommend Burgh'ers in Lawrenceville!

EVERYTHING BAGEL DOGS bacon, cream cheese, everything bagel seeds, fresh jalapeños Even better than they look.

Food was good. Service was great and nothing was a problem. I'd come back and try the Koran chicken

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for lunch. We had been to the Zelionople location of Burgher's a long time ago, even before they started brewing beer, and liked it so I was exited to come here. Burghers' Brewing is location on Butler St and the setup here consists of two levels. The lower level just has seating while the upper level has a bar as well. It feels industrial with the concrete floors, exposed I beam and ductwork and in truly Pittsburgh fashion, they have their chairs colored black and gold, alternating of course. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here which consists of four 5 ounce pours. For my four choices I went with the Farkleberry Tart, Fern Room, Flying off the bridge and then the smoke control. I started off with the Farkleberry Tart which itself was tart to start off with, true to its name, with the fruit coming in at the finish with more of the cherry present than the blackberry. Second was the Fern Room which was smooth to start out with before a little hops come through and then a finish of the pine resin. Flying off the bridge was third and was hoppy from start to finish. Last but not least was Smoke control and you could get smoke on the nose as you bring it up for a drink. The first part of the sip is smooth and then comes the smoke with a bit of bitterness before the smoke takes over and continues through the finish. Out of the bunch, I liked the Farkleberry tart and the fern room with the fern room coming in tops for me. Then for my lunch I went with Maggie's Farm while my wife went with the Polish Hill. The menu described my burger as smoked gouda, horseradish, caramelized onion, roasted chilies, rum aioli and my wife's as cheddar, caramelized onion, pierogi, mayo. Our burgers here ended up being the smash burger type and they were cooked nicely to keep the burger juicy. The buns were toasted so it didn't fall apart and the toppings were good. I could taste the smoked Gouda throughout as well as the caramelized onions. In the middle of the burger I got a small bit of heat off the chiles and then only in a single bite could I taste the horseradish. Even though I think I could see the rum aioli, I never did get any rum flavor from it, which was fine by me. My wife also thought her burger was good as well and enjoyed the pierogi in it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought that both my burger and beer were good and would be interested in trying their James beard competition winning burger.

On our weekly weekend trip to "The Strip" we decided to visit Burgh'ers Brewing. Mainly because the burgers have been getting some traction on the socials with pictures. Decided to sit at the bar to drink/eat only because the seating area here is ultra generic. Not a bad thing with the huge windowed views but it's something that just felt "Right". Getting to that "Right" feeling we were happily tended by Jack at the bar. 5 Stars to you BTW dude. Extremely professional and had excellent recommendations paired with prompt service with a constant smile. The NYC Pizza conversation was one i'll never forget and i thoroughly appreciate the 412 recommendations! Now to the food. Specifically the burgers. "Smash" burgers seem to be all the rage now. TBTH i haven't been really "WOW'D" by any of the recent locations here in Pittsburgh. Until now. Decided on the "Fox Chapel" Burger (pictured) that consists of "#theblend, goat cheese, mixed greens, pickled onion, & balsamic reduction" (they do NOT skimp on the goat cheese here). Now don't get me wrong, this burger was FANTASTIC... but made me question why on earth didn't I get the standard Cheeseburger with all the toppings (LTO)?! These "smashed" burgers are THAT good. And I fully intend to revisit again to order the "Standard". Pretty stoked about even thinking about that. Other than the burger I will say that the French Fries here are 5 Star. Thinly cut and perfectly fried. Mayonnaise was a little too white for my liking so guessing they use a Miracle Whip variant. Not bad though. I did have a bite of their Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and although that wasn't bad... it didn't blow my taste buds away like their "Smash" burger did. Final verdict. I'm coming back FOR SURE to try their "Basic" Smash Burger. They are taking this recent craze seriously and doing an absolutely GREAT job at it. Jake at the bar is a rad guy that offers great conversation and service (don't forget to tip your local bartenders!)! Keep up the fantastic work. SOLID 4.5 Stars.

4.5 stars. Walk in as a party of 5 this past Sunday at 6pm. Decent crowd despite the lack of any specials, which they offer on Saturdays. Our server was a machine. Ready to serve and quick! Nice without being overly friendly. Beer list is fantastic. We loved the Nickelodeon Hazy IPA and their Dopplebock. Reasonable prices for pints and beer to go. Tried to get 32oz to go but they were out of glassware. Menu is decent with the burgers being the main attraction here. I got the Oakland (two thin patties, american, steamed onion, pickle, mojo sauce) with the option to have the protein 70% beef and 30% mushroom, and it was fantastic. I ordered the rosemary fries for the $2 up charge and it was dry rosemary flakes (some whole needles) scattered on the fries. Most just fell off and it was not worth it at all. Skip the upgrade. I let the cooks know how great my burger was and the only real response I received with one of the guys was how my daughter was looking in his direction and made a point to be sorta creepy. Pretty lame, young man. Great spot, though and will gladly return.

Great place for delicious smash burgers and craft beer! Came here with some friends to watch the penguins game and have dinner. Unfortunately despite having tv screens all around the restaurant, only the ones at the bar are connected to watch sports. We were still comfortable and able to sit the 6 of us on the metal bar stools and the bartender came to us immediately. I ordered the Farkleberry Tart beer and it was a deliciously smooth sour. It had great flavors of bluepberry and cranberry that blended into a refreshing sip. This drink only came in 12oz though for $8, which is a bit pricey for a night of hanging out at the restaurant. For dinner I ordered the Mexican War Street burger. It was very flavorful and juicy. I loved the roasted chilies on top, the hint of cilantro, and the creamy burger sauce that blended it all together into a delicious bite! The burger beef patty itself was delicious, but only one thin smashburger, where I've experienced most smashburger restaurants give 2 stacked. The good thing is the burger comes with a large side of crisp and seasoned fries to fill you up. A bit on the expensive side, costing over $25 for a burger and beer, but it was delicious and good quality ingredients.

Stopped in for open mike night after an evening run club meetup. The comedy was overall good and I got the mini version of the korean bbq chicken sandwich. I was surprised when I got the bill, as it had felt like plenty of good food for much cheaper than any pub meal I've had lately ($10.50). Definitely would recommend, cool little Lawrenceville place.

Finally checked this place out and the burgers and fries were great. They have some interesting options to try out so I'll probably go back for more. The waitress was great and I loved her Goldfish earrings (sorry I can't remember your name). The vibe in the restaurant is also laid back and cool. I would definitely recommend this place!

We had a great lunch here the other day. The smash burgers are very tasty! They have plenty of pre made options cutely named after different Pittsburgh neighborhoods. You can also make your own which I did. The caramelized onions and roasted chiles were so good! I'm kind of particular about onions but these were perfectly soft and caramelized. They also have their burghers sauce which is like a big Mac sauce and very good, and the mojo is that sauce with Siracha (so a little spicy!). They also have their draft beers listed on TVs around the place. Our server was very nice and the food was very good. We got a good portion of fries with each sandwhich too which was nice. The pop (soda) is canned or bottled, so just keep that in mind (not free refills from a fountain). The inside is cute and comfortable with a nice black and gold theme. Parking is the regularly Lawrenceville parking situation but we found street parking no problem. Def worth the stop!

Great smash burgers, can't go wrong with any of them. The staff is super cool and friendly. Great experience!!

Great meal except they were out of perogies. I was so looking forward to the polish hill burger. I still would come back again. The beer selection was decent although I prefer ambers and dark.

I ordered the Fox Chapel. My only minor complaint was I ordered sauce instead of balsamic and didn't get it (still got balsamic). Lemme tell ya - the 30% mushrooms for the meat mix is 100% better than meat alone!!!!! OMG it was amazing!!! My wife got the Pittsburgher and was pretty unhappy. She thought her burger was dry and bland. Both of our burgers were cold - we had placed our orders to go and showed up at the pickup time given. The food was already sitting on the counter waiting for me to grab it. No warmer no nothing. It's only a short walk to where we ate so I'm guessing the food was ready long before we were told that it would be ready. I'd like to give it another try but eat in and see if it's hotter. Besides, the inside of the place looks cool and comfortable.

Took over an hour just to take our order. Not thrilled with what we got vs what we ordered

Amazing!! The food is absolutely delicious and service can't be beat. Every time we've visited it's been the best experience.

Went last night to try this place out since it just joined the Pittsburgh brewery guild. Super friendly staff, nice dive bar energy but a restaurant/brewery. Rosemary fries were to die for and all the beers were great. Definitely coming back!

absolutely phenomenal. we're staying at a hotel nearby and saw this place had veggie options for me, so we did it. Perfect burger. Meat eaters and vegetarians all agreed. Couldn't be any tastier. Crunchy, salty fries. Delish The pierogies are an absolute non-negotionable. Super friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Recommend 5/5.

This place actually surprised me with how good the burgers were. We randomly walked into this place not knowing what it was. Let me just say we loved this place! I had the forest hill burger and it was amazing sweet and savory. Plus they are smash burgers which is a fav. My partner had the chili cheese dogs not knowing they were smash burgers but the dogs were good too.
