Butterjoint

This charming spot offers a cozy atmosphere with great vibes and food. We tried the Butterjoint Burger—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a rich, velvety sauce—and the pulled goat. The service was friendly, though it’s on the pricier side. Perfect for a relaxed, memorable meal.

Basic decor, but the atmosphere, wonderful welcome and service of staff, and great food (rachlette, steak tartare, salad, pulled goat bun) makes this an absolute must to visit. Shout out to Keith, our server, who went over and above to make our visit extraordinary 🙌

The burgers come with milk bun! It was really soft and buttery. We tried fried chicken and butterjoint burger that comes with really good fried. Would recommend if you want to get a good sandwiches

On November 2, 2024, a guest and I ate at Butterjoint in Pittsburgh, PA, Oakland neighborhood, enjoyed a cozy dining experience with a variety of items. Known for its homemade offerings, Butterjoint lived up to its reputation, delivering meals that were expertly prepared. Our attention was on the veggies & Pierogies and a Fancy Chicken Sandwich, totaling $50.29. The veggies & Pierogi, which came with caramelized onions, squash, and beets, added a satisfying depth of flavor. Served with sour cream. The Fancy Chicken Sandwich was generously topped and accompanied by a side of fries with ketchup and aioli. The restaurant’s menu features a unique selection of cocktails and draft beers, as well as diverse food options, from small plates to larger entrées and sandwiches. We opted for water with lemons. The exterior is modern and inviting, with outdoor seating for patrons. Our server, Riley M, suggested the Fancy Chicken Sandwich to fulfill my craving for a spicy dish, and it didn’t disappoint. Riley was attentive, addressing our questions with ease. Butterjoint’s commitment to quality shone through in every aspect, making our visit memorable. We recommend Butterjoint for your dining experience.

I wasn’t really a planned visit. I was craving some Indian food and went to Tamarind just to find out that they were closed on Monday. We were famished, and this happened to be the nearest restaurant. It was just around noon on a weekday and the restaurant was relatively empty, and we were seated immediately as at one of the corner tables. The decor isn’t much to look at to be honest, but it isn’t drab either. The service was quick and our server made sure that we had everything to our liking. The water bottle was filled practically and promptly multiple times during the lunch. we weren’t looking for a heavy lunch, so we both ordered a burger each. My friend is vegetarian so she went with the vegetarian burger, and I went with the special chicken sandwich. Our server made sure to ask us whether we wanted our fries to be cooked in tallow or canola oil, and this was a nice touch for my vegetarian friend who preferred her to be cooked in oil. I haven’t really seen a lot of other places do that. I loved my chicken sandwich. It’s had a huge piece of fried chicken thigh along with kimchi and gochujjang. The combination worked really well, and it was probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I have had. There were also a mountain of fries accompanying the meal as is the norm in America. The fries were crispy and properly seasoned. The portion size in general was huge, and my friend couldn’t really finish her burger or fries. I think I’ll be back again and this time maybe try new items.

We had reservations for 6:30 and were pleasantly surprised that, despite the restaurant being busy, we were seated right on time. Both the host and server were fantastic, providing attentive and friendly service throughout our meal. We started with two appetizers: the lumps, which were a bit disappointing, and the summer crostini, which had a unique and delightful flavor. For our main dishes, we shared the moules frites, which were fantastic, and the Butterjoint burger, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a good dining experience. However, there was a strange smell that kept wafting through the restaurant, which was quite disturbing and detracted from the overall experience. We tried to change tables, but the restaurant was very busy. Hopefully, this is something that can be addressed for future visits.

We came in the middle of the day, so I can't vouch for how things are during a typical lunch or dinner rush, but we had great service, and I really enjoyed what we got. Small plates are still big enough to consider for a meal, I ended up taking some home. Great vegetarian options and incredible desserts!

Loved the menu options. You can order something reasonably priced or splurge on something considered fine cuisine. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and modern at the same time. Service was top tier. A must try.

Butterjoint is not in downtown Pittsburgh but it is worth coming to the outskirts just try it. We were greeted by a very friendly host, who sat us outside with our dog. He also offered our dog a bowl of water, which I haven't seen at many other restaurants! The waiters were very friendly too and answered our questions. For food, we had the potato pierogis for appetizers. They were excellent and I recommend it. I liked how I asked the waiter to take off the onion off the pierogi and they were accommodating. The burgers were very good too. I had the fancy burger and it was filling. The bar menu is decent and I am sure you will be able to find a beverage on it. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant!!

The Ambiance was simple and clean. Not crowded with tables, good spacing between tables. The service is very good and friendly. Host was funny and entertaining. The food choices are good, but the quality of the food is lacking. The drinks are good. The French onion soup is awesome . Broth wasn't salty and strong, perfect amount of cheese and would totally recommend. The pickled shrimp wasn't good, because the shrimp was tough and wasn't fresh. I believe it would have tasted better, if the shrimps were fresh. The mussels and fries were good, but again, the mussels tasted old and not fresh. It was kinda overcooked. The ribeye was disappointing, it was tasty, but tough. The pierogi and Kabasa was delicious. The only dish, that had no complaints. The fries were good, but not crispy.

This place has such potential, but they just aren't living up to it for me. I've been back a few times since my last review, generally with middling results. This last visit though - yikes. They seemed a little unprepared from the start. She started toward a table, changed her mind, and then pushed two tables together into a dark corner. Dark except for the sliver of sun shining right in my eyeball. She lowered a shade, which worked great for about 3 minutes before someone else came and raised it again. I tried to flag him down, but he wasn't paying any attention. I lived with it and once the sun ducked behind the building, it ended up really dark and dreary in our little corner. The service otherwise started out ok. He knew the beginning steps - greet, drinks, apps. He brought a glass of wine promptly and answered some questions about the menu. One of our party is a vegetarian, and she clearly identified that as she asked a few questions about the dishes. The appetizers were good and came reasonably quickly, but then the service really started to falter. We weren't ready to order when he came back, and then I think he forgot he hadn't done it. He did finally come back for the entrée orders, but didn't address the drinks, several of which were empty. Then he disappeared for a bit. When the food came, I snatched a French fry off my friend's plate and realized they'd served the vegetarian a heaping pile of tallow fries with her veggie burger. Maybe partly her fault for not knowing what tallow was, but since she had earlier made clear that she was a vegetarian and was ordering a veggie burger, I feel like he should have pre-empted that problem when she ordered. Anyway, we flagged him down. He seemed to not understand the problem at first, but then he got it together and took the dish to be corrected. He apologized and offered free dessert for the inconvenience, which was nice even though we didn't really want dessert. The second burger came with the vegetarian fries, but also came drenched in aioli (was originally ordered without), so we had to send that one back too. Third time was the charm, though it did still come with aioli on the side. LOL. He ended up comping that burger and the dessert at that point, which I felt like was only right given that we were all finished by the time she got something she could eat. Throughout the whole meal though, there were a lot of service missteps. I don't know if he was new or just not well-trained, but we had to flag him down each time we needed something. At one point, we sort of felt like he'd just forgotten we were even there. When he did come, nothing was noticed. Nothing was offered. He came to the table, but he didn't look at it. My wine sat empty for at least a half hour even though he'd been back several times about the burger. Same with the cocktails, sodas, and water. At some point, he took the empty water carafes, but didn't bring replacements. When it was clear we were done, he didn't offer boxes - we had to ask. We also had to ask to order the desserts, which were eventually set down next to half eaten tuna apps that had never been cleared. We had to ask him to clear them, as he didn't seem to notice that either. Only when he brought the desserts did he finally see that we didn't have a sip of any beverage left and asked if we wanted water with our desserts. Umm...yes? Overall, it was just a really awkward experience and not at all fitting of what I feel like they could be.

All I wanted was a burger it did not disappoint! Service was great. The bartender made me a good espresso martini as well. It's a cute spot would recommend.

My partner and I went here for brunch and we both really loved it! The ambience is really nice and we were lucky in that it wasn't too busy that day so we were really able to enjoy our time there. Our server was super friendly and on top of everything. My partner had the Crispy Chicken and Crumpets and I had the Brunch Sammie. We both really loved our meals and their crumpets are amazing! Although we were both very stuffed we had a pop tart for dessert and it was so freaking delicious! I did not think we would be able to finish it with how full we were but it was just soooo good that we ate every bite :-) Definitely recommend brunch here and very much looking forward to trying their dinner as well.

good salad, falafel, squash soup..we stuck with some basics, nothing fancy..nice decor and service..no pepper on the table? I like grinders on every table these days with four color peppercorns too! - how about some bread, with soup? with salad? pita with falafel? I guess it's just cost cutting, but it's nice to have a piece of crusty bread with soup or salad. And pita with falafel..And tahini sauce in one of those accordion style paper cups used for ketchup in cafeterias? make it a little more generour and something nice - ceramic bowl, or something. My only complaint about the food we did have was the vanilla ice cream desert - the chance for a kitchen to shine on something very basic done perfectly, was icy, watery and not much vanilla flavor. It was only edible with a piece of the wonderful chocolate truffle cake! maybe we'll try it again, maybe not.

We had a delicious dinner and was pleasantly surprised. For food we had the Fancy Fried Chicken Sandwich and Crab Cakes. We started off with the Pierogis, & Lumps (rolls)! It was all so good! Service was good and really like our server, Lola. Neat atmosphere offer a separate bar area, indoor dining room, and patio dining. We found street meter parking g so didn't have to use the garage and had secured reservations via open table. Was a bit concerned after reading some of the reviews but 5 stars for us and was absolutely recommend.

This was another first time spot for me. And I am now sad about that. I loved my fancy burger, the fries were everything I dream of with that aioli (had to get extra lol) but the pirogies were the star in my eyes. I'm so happy I got not one but two orders to go! Very great meal with an awesome ambiance. Will be back!

I really like this place for a lot of reasons but also have my critiques... (+) : burgers and sandwiches are so delicious, raclette is yummy, pierogis are worthwhile, drinks are solid. (-) : vibes are just okay, kinda run down decoration and lighting is a bit dark. Desserts (chess pie) are just okay. Other dishes are fine but not super memorable. I think if you go for a burger or sandwich, you'll be satisfied! Otherwise it's more of a 3.5/5 for me :)

Title: Fantastic Brunch Experience at Butterjoint! Butterjoint has returned with brunch, I must say, it exceeded all expectations. To start, I indulged in their French onion soup, and it was a symphony of flavors. The depth of taste in every spoonful was remarkable. Moving on to the main course, I opted for the brunch burger, and I was blown away. Cooked to perfection, the bacon was crispy, the egg yolk was just right - oozing out in the most satisfying way with every bite. The side of house taters was delightful, though I confess a preference for French fries, which unfortunately aren't available during brunch hours. As if that wasn't enough, I couldn't resist trying their pop tart of the week. While the pastry was a tad flaky, the flavor was divine, and the whipped topping added a lovely touch. Overall, my experience at Butterjoint was nothing short of exceptional. With such delicious offerings, I'm already planning my next visit to explore more of their enticing menu. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable brunch experien

The shakshuka is worth the visit- so delicious with loads of peppers and onions in a piping hot cast iron dish. The eggs will set fast so cut into the yolks speedy quick and dip that fresh toasted crumpet into the runny yolk. Pure joy! Brunch burger was excellent as well. I got to finish the husbands final few bites. Now let's talk about the vinegar pie because this is the pie you didn't see coming. Bright and sweet and the crust was on point. Get yourself at least 1 slice to take home if you're too full. You're morning coffee the next day will be super stoked you made this decision

Just okay. FOOD - Nothing impressive except for the Jamaican Pulled Goat & Falafel. Pirogies & desert were fine. Duck Confit was disappointing. SERVICE - Their had no record of our reservation somehow. Waitress kept forgetting my friend's request Other waitress didn't seem very collaborative. Managers seem to care a little more. AMBIANCE - A little dark & chaotic in certain areas. PRICE - Too expensive for the quality of food. MENU - A little limited in my opinion. I would give it another try if they improve the menu but wouldn't go again especially for how everything is priced.

I've been to Butterjoint twice in the last two months, once for a graduation dinner, and the menu was so exciting I had to come back with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. We enjoyed the smoked fish, pierogies withkielbasa, famous big burgers with excellent fries, and a small plate of beans and greens. Can highly recommend the rhubarb Collins cocktail and the shrubs.

We had a lovely dinner at Butterjoint. Service was great. I am going to be craving the Pinky Swear cocktail, it is SO good. Everything was delicious except the mushroom soup which tasted like boiling cubes and water, no depth of flavor. The rest of our order which was great: -pierogies -raclette -smoked bluefish pate -hearty salad with salmon -fancy burger -Jamaican pulled goat

I had the Jamaican pulled goat sandwich with the side salad. It was pretty good (4/5) and is a unique item I haven't seen elsewhere. The interior of the restaurant is nice, and it isn't too loud, so it is easy to have a conversation. The service was pretty good, especially since I went with a larger group.

We stopped here for a bite before an event nearby and it was really nice! We were shown to our table by a very nice gentleman who sat us in the jungle room (and pointed out the portrait of his dog among the numerous animals on the wall. What a lovely personal touch to have in the dining area! We started with the fried cheese balls, which were just meh. BUT My husband and I got burgers and fries (one a fancy and one non-fancy) and they were both delicious! THE BLUEBERRY PIE WAS THE WINNER OF THE NIGHT. We would go back just for cocktails and thay

Went there for the first time .Food was delicious. Everything made from scratch. Service was good. Nice vibe to the place. Would go back there again

My boyfriend and I went to Butterjoint for the first time this past Saturday. I have been wanting to go for a while, so I was very excited! First I want to mention their happy hour: Monday-Saturday from 4-6. It's hard to come by places that do happy hour on a Saturday. They have some okay deals too. I got a pretty strong cocktail for $8, which is not a bad price for this kind of place. The ambiance was really nice, and I would describe it as modern/cozy. I loved the decor and the lighting. It also wasn't too loud when we went. My boyfriend did say that the men's restroom was very messy though, for some reason. Not sure if this is a one off thing. The women's restroom was fine. Service was good! Our waiter was attentive and kind. The host who walked us to our table seemed very passionate as well. :) As for the food, we first split the Goat Cheese Crostini. While they were tasty, and I loved the zing of the pepper jelly in particular, it was a pretty tiny portion even for the happy hour price. I probably wouldn't get it again. Then came the mains. My boyfriend got the pulled goat sandwich and I got the fancy chicken sandwich. While my boyfriend liked his sandwich, again the portion was kind of small and he didn't get a lot of meat. My sandwich, on the other hand, was huge! I really, really loved it. It had kimchi and gochujang, and the flavors worked so well together with the fried chicken thigh. I'm someone who loves fermented foods so I had a feeling it would be a win. I was worried it would be too spicy, but It wasn't very spicy at all. The fries that came with the sandwiches were also spectacular. For dessert, we both got bread pudding that came with a little vanilla ice cream. It was alright, a bit bland in my opinion, but the ice cream saved it. While I knocked off one star due to portion sizes, I would recommend Butterjoint overall and I am excited to go back. When I do, I will definitely be getting the fancy chicken sandwich again.

I went here on a Tuesday evening with four friends for dinner. I made reservations on OpenTable which probably weren't necessary. We were seated in their spacious dining area and our service was very prompt and friendly. There is also a bar area adjacent to the dining area that has happy hour specials. The inside was decorated with adorable lanterns which helped liven up the place. I really enjoyed my Tiki Tuesday cocktail as well as my Pink's Not Dead cocktail. A couple of friends got other cocktails that they thought were just okay - one was the Gabagool and the other was a very mezcal forward one. The food came out pretty quickly. The fries are fried in tallow and are some of the best in Pittsburgh. The bread is milk bread and it's delightfully fluffy and lightly sweet. The pierogies were crispy and perfect. I also really enjoyed my burger and the desserts. Overall, Butterjoint is always a solid dinner spot. I've been here multiple times before and I'm sure I'll be back!

I had the fancy crispy chicken sandwich, which had a korean inspired gochujang glaze. The food was great, albeit a little on the pricier end. The fries and aioli were standard, and my friends who got the burgers enjoyed them as well. We were seated immediately at lunch of a weekday, and at the time the restaurant wasn't too packed. No complaints.

This restaurant is so cool and should be SO MUCH BETTER. Their menu is interesting, but the execution is unremarkable...and the service is remarkable in the wrong way. Each time I've been there the servers seem unprepared for their shifts. Most recently, one a not very busy Saturday, the service was just poor. The server would forget things more than once then disappear for a long time. Then, the manager would come by to see how we were doing and was super busy trying to fix stuff for the bad server. When the experience is like that, the food tastes less good and doesn't make us want to return. If they had a few ass-kicker servers who loved what they do and the kitchen were on, this could be a five star, unique place.

I'd rate Butterjoint four and a half stars. I've been meaning to come here for over a decade the stars finally aligned for me and my wife last night. After a late flight and a bit of a wait for the 28x, we managed to check in at the Butterjoint before their kitchen closed at 10. Very good selection of beers with a focus on local and craft beers. I had the Forest and Main House Lager and then the Troegs Nugget Nectar. For food, we started with the kale ceasar salad. This isn't your typical healthy kale salad. Generous dressing with large anchovies and plenty of olives. A salty food lovers delight. For the main course, I had the Butterjoint burger and my wife had the Jamaican goat sandwich. The burger was cooked to medium. It's a thinner patty, but still juicy and delicious. Topped with house sauce, cheese, lettuce, and pickles in between a perfect brioche bun. Both sandwiches were good but I found the ingredients falling out consistently. The sandwiches came with a heaping of fries. Possibly the biggest serving of fries in Oakland since the O closed. For dessert, we shared the vinegar pie and I had a small pour of Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel. Nice variety of whiskey, yet the menu was approachable. I liked the pie and appreciated them putting it on the menu as I hadn't heard of it before. Service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Our waiter helped make the experience wonderful. There were a few different restrooms around the restaurant. I noticed a large one that was handicap accessible and family friendly. There were also gender restrooms near the bar.

Convenient location close to campus for both Pitt and CMU. Casual dining but slightly on the expensive side. Service is always super friendly. I've been here a few times, but some of the dishes that I had photos of are not on the menu anymore. Personally, I've felt that their sandwiches were better than their large plates. My favorite is probably the chicken sandwich, nothing super special but tastes good. Drinks are more reasonably priced. Nothing too fancy but all around $10.

I'm a big believer in asking the staff at a restaurant what they love. Unless you run into the occasional vegan who doesn't eat anything they serve, you can usually get a few great recommendations. Our server here, Lydia, was no exception. She recommended several excellent items, including: 1. The "Mercy of the Bartender" cocktail option, which is a recommendation for taking the recommendation of the bartender, in essence. Meta. Also a good time, as I got a weird and wonderful cumin-tasting drink that I loved. 2. The Fancy Burger. Because we are clearly fancy people. And we enjoyed the hell out of this juicy burger stacked with gruyere, bacon, glass onion jam, lettuce, and house pickles. I can't say if it's the best burger in Pittsburgh (I haven't eaten enough here), but it's definitely the best burger I've had in Pittsburgh. 3. The Pickle Plate. I don't know how Lydia knew I loved fermented and pickled things, but she was right. I'll eat all the ginger-pickled carrots, beets, daikon, kimchi, and taqueria pickles you've got, and the miso egg is just a bonus. 4. The Raclette. While this was pretty good, I think raclette loses a little something when it sits; you want to eat it immediately after it's scraped off a wheel onto some other food. We also went off script and got the Sauerkraut Balls too, which are as awesome as you think they are. I'm a little mad at Lydia for not telling us about them, actually. Not really. Lydia, you're perfect, and the service was all-around excellent. I only wish we had room to add on the vinegar pie, as Lydia suggested. I like vinegar. I like pie. Next time.

Had my first experience with pierogies on a recent visit to Butterjoint! I met 2 family members who live in Pittsburgh for dinner here and had a great experience. We started with kielbasa pierogies which were delicious. Lots of drink options, and we had the range from beer to wine to cocktails. Everything was delicious! For entrees, I chose the Fancy Burger with fries. It was huge, and I was really only able to eat about half. Another person had their soup of the day, along with a kale salad topped with grilled chicken. The third member of our party had the chicken sandwich. Everyone was happy with their meal. Service was solid, even though the restaurant was pretty crowded.

I have to say I was excited to try butter joint but for me it didn't live up to the hype. Our server was fantastic but our food was just ok. I ordered their fancy burger which had great flavors but was way over cooked and my fries were soggy. It might have been an off night and i would give it another shot because the flavor were good.

This place was a great find on my work trip. I walked a mile to get here and it was worth it. The atmosphere is very nice and I chose to sit at the bar. The service was quick and friendly. I ordered more than I could eat just to try a few things. The pierogies are fantastic. I tried the fancy burger and it was great. They serve it with a huge pile of fries which were equally good. Everything tasted fresh. They have a full bar and specialized cocktails. I like that they also serve nonalcoholic wines, beers and cocktails. The only thing I would ask is either leaving a bottle of ketchup/mayo or using bigger (non paper) cups. Just a minor thing. I would love to return.

I came back to Butterjoint with another friend recently. I ordered the bartenders choice cocktail (which was delicious by the way) and the chicken sandwich. We also split a slice of their famous vinegar pie for dessert. Our service was great and the vibe/ambiance was amazing as well. Butterjoint is becoming one of my favorite spots in the city to enjoy dinner at. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Went for Sunday brunch and was pleasantly surprised! Multiple healthy and not so healthy vegetarian options, however I will say the portion sizes are a bit on the smaller side so lower your expectations of a typical bruc

Food was very good. Most inept service ever. The bartender could very well have been working at Sheetz the week before. 20 minutes to take a drink order then 15 to get served. In a not overly crowded bar. Food delivered and we sat for 10 minutes waiting for one the bartender's to even acknowledge there was no cutlery or plates. I hope they're getting a tax credit for employing such unskilled bar staff

I was really impressed with everything about Butterjoint. I liked the drink options and wine menu, the food and the atmosphere. I especially liked the waitstaff. They were very helpful with wine selection and food options. I fell in love with their burger! And it paired fabulously with their orange wine option. Although it was fall, we got to enjoy the outdoor dining space. That was just lovely! Hope to get back soon.

Butterjoint was a unique experience. I visited the restaurant with a close friend and we both agreed that the vibes were a little odd. Not in a bad way, just a little peculiar in an eccentric way. If you have watched the movie Amelie, the aesthetic and overall vibe was similar to that film. The service was fast and time felt to pass by so quickly. An enjoyable experience, however, definitely quirky. My burger was delectable and cooked exactly how I like it. The bun was yummy and the patty was so juicy. I did not expect their burgers to be THAT good, but I was left impressed. I have been thinking every day of going back and ordering a burger again. My friend also really enjoyed her pierogies and she said they were very filling. A star of the dinner was definitely a lemonade. To be honest, I have never had a lemonade as light and refreshing as theirs. It was not too sweet and tasted incredibly natural. The restaurant is definitely a little bit on the pricier side, but the food is totally worth it. I am curious to know if anyone else feels the same way regarding the vibe. Highly recommend checking it out! Get the burger :)

I'm really not sure what happened here but other than the staff, this experience was not great. My friend and I ordered the fried pickles which were delicious & set the night up for success. Sadly both of our burgers tasted very off. Not sure if it's the way the meat is cooked or the spices but neither of us were able to eat our burgers. The fries were great & the staff were very kind to take the burgers off the bill but I probably would never go back. The vibes of the restaurant felt a little misplaced for the menu & the menu itself was limited with a little bit of an odd selection.

Amazing! Each thing more delicious then the next. Cheese balls are light and juicy. Fancy chicken sandwich is a delicacy of huckleberry spicy bbq sauce, finger licking down to the taste drop. End your meal with any of their made in house desserts!

So yummy! Vinegar pie was fabulous. We did burgers and chicken sandwiches, both classic and special and everyone was very happy.

This is bar food that is dressed up to go to a party. It's ok. The service is pretty good. A little to loud for my ears. So, why four stars instead of three? Vinegar pie. Any place that will throw something like that on the menu deserves an extra star. A tasty piece of pie, for sure.

I've been dreaming about Vinegar Pie since I first tried it at Pie for Breakfast four years ago. I was so excited to try it again at the sister restaurant Butterjoint! My family and I had a wonderful time at this restaurant for lunch--we were one of only three tables for lunch service, and so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Our waitress Sandy was an absolute delight! She had great recommendations and was very accommodating as well. The music at the restaurant was quite eclectic, ranging from metal to soothing harp music. Definitely strange! The food was top notch. Don't pass up the raclette, which comes perfectly melted and a little crispy on the bottom too. The fancy burger and pulled goat sandwich were both quite tasty--I thought the fries were a tad bland (maybe I got my hopes up too high since I usually love fries cooked in tallow). We ended the meal with the Vinegar Pie, and if you haven't tried it yet... you're missing out! It has a perfect flaky crust, a delicious caramelized top, and a perfectly gooey filling. Seriously, get in your car right now and drive to Oakland.

went to butterjoint for a somewhat rushed lunch and the place totally exceeded my expectations! the staff were so friendly and accommodating when we told them we were rushed, and service was very fast. the food was great: i'm accustomed to being disappointed by dry pulled pork sandwiches, but that was not the case here!! super juicy meat. even the fries were perfect :) the goat cheese crostini was smaller than expected but it ended up being my favorite. it was my first time trying pepper jam (i am now a fan). i pass by this place a lot in the evening and they're pretty full then (for good reason), but during lunch there was plenty of seating available. also love their interior! very clean and i like the theming. they had these paper lanterns/flowers on one wall that was cute, though i didn't take a picture.

Great pierogies and juicy signature burger with thick and medium-cooked patty and crunchy toasted bun, just a little overpriced for the pierogies as far as I am concerned.

One of the BEST burgers in the city. I know - it doesn't seem like "a burger place" but that's what makes it even better. Cooked perfectly, juicy, great bun. Just an overall awesome burger. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of it because I couldn't wait to enjoy. We also enjoyed the mussels, raclette & vinegar pie for dessert (yes, vinegar pie. It was heavenly). I couldn't recommend Butterjoint enough. Such a great vibe with good service, too.

I hadn't visited since the restaurant portion was Legume and was excited to see what changes Butterjoint had in store! Burgers and pierogies came recommended, with everyone in our group ordering burgers but me. As a native Pittsburgher, I'm particular about my pierogies, and theirs were deliciously authentic! I got the app as my main. The waitress was extremely thorough and sold us on the chickpea panisse, which was absolutely delectable and creamy. The overall atmosphere is funky, with summery decorative paper lanterns hung about. I recently recommended Butterjoint to a few women who were visiting Oakland from Las Vegas for a robotics convention.

Just came for drinks and dessert and this place did not disappoint! We ordered the Pb and J old fashioned and the cream soda old fashioned and both were fantastic! The basque cheesecake is a must try! Solid place!

An okay spot in Oakland. Was told they have the best burger in Pittsburgh and finally made it here today. I had no problem finding some street parking nearby. Reservation was made with Open Table. Restaurant space is nice, it was pretty busy tonight. Staff was friendly, service was just okay. Their menu is somewhat limited. I knew I was going to get the burger but beyond that nothing really looked good to me. I didn't like that they use chicken thighs for all the chicken dishes. We started with their "Lumps" aka bread rolls which were fantastic, I really liked the apple butter. The fried pickles were not great, some of the pickle spears were so measly. I thought the burger was fine, definitely not the best in Pittsburgh though. Someone I was with got the burger as well and hated it, said too well done and bun was stale. At $21 (after adding bacon), it's definitely overpriced. Everything seems a bit pricy here, didn't help that we were also charged $3.50 for a coffee that we didn't order or get (didn't catch that until we left). Make sure to check your receipts. Glad I checked it out but will probably not go back.

Incredible neighborhood bar restaurant with elite food but down home food too. Pierogis amazing. Burger terrific Abd some great local beers and cocktails. Love the decor

Lovely restaurant! The pierogis were a hit and everyone in our group loved them. We also liked the drinks we got. The service was super kind and attentive. We LOVED the fries we couldn't stop eating them. We liked the comfy seating throughout. We also liked how big the space was

What a great place with fantastic food. They only source ingredients from local places and everything is delicious. I had the hearty salad with pickled shrimp-it was perfect. For an appetizer, I had the goat cheese crostini-delicious. The cocktail was seasonal and had mezcal, and was perfectly balanced. Highly recommend this local gem!

Really nice food and beer selection. Great fries, burgers and pierogis. The service was friendly and attentive and the place was cozy.

This is such a cozy environment! Great place to go with a close group of friend to catch up over some drinks and good food! They have a great bar that can make anything, I always get a dirty martini here! The spicy ranch that comes with the crispy fried pickles is scrumptious! The raclette is the best app if you're a cheese person! It's just melted cheese with focaccia and is to die for! The burger is a staple and never disappoints! The wait staff is so knowledgeable and makes the best recommendations if you don't know what to order. They also make you feel really relaxed and able to enjoy your meal, never rushing you along.

This is a very good restaurant for many reasons! 1. Accommodated large groups 2. Great menu- check out the local beer 3. Elements of fine dining Recommendations: Chickpea Panisse Kale salad Butter joint burger.
