If you think cheese and a hamburger would taste gouda together, then you’ve come to the right place. Thankfully, us ‘yinzers’ know a thing or two about hamburgers – in fact some might say we practically put the ‘burgh’ in burger! ? To honor this classic dish, we put together a list of the the best burgers in Pittsburgh and we promise they won’t disappoint.
It’s always burger o’clock at Over the Bar Bicycle Cafe! This bicycle-inspired bar is known for their burgers, vegetarian dishes and full service bar with a fab happy hour. We tried THE BMX burger, an all-beef patty on a brioche bun topped with special sauce, iceberg lettuce, cheese, full-sized pickles, bacon, and onions. And if you’re wondering, yes it IS as delicious as it looks! In total, OTB has 7 speciality burgers on their menu, as well as, sandwiches, tacos, wraps, salads and more.

A balanced diet is a burger from The BeerHive in each hand! Inspired by Mr. Rogers, this family-owned restaurant is a laid-back place where you can grab a bit to eat, drink craft beer and hang out with your pals. You can’t go wrong with any burger on their menu BUT YOU MUST order a frypie as an appetizer! A frypie is a pile (literally) of house-cut fries in a pie pan smothered with toppings of your choice. After all, name a better combo than a burger with fries?!
We can’t talk about burgers in Pittsburgh without mentioning Tessaro’s…seriously just look at that picture. With a goal of bringing genuine, authentic and honest burgers to Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield neighborhood, the restaurant never disappoints. All of their burgers are made on a hardwood grill, using a perfect marble-to-meat ratio, crafted by the in-house butcher! We highly recommend taste-testing the Gourmet Kelly Burger garnished with bacon, grilled mushrooms and onions with your choice of cheese. Another popular choice is the Breakfast Burger topped with an egg over easy and cheese.
The saying goes…suns out, (hamburger) buns out at Stack’d! This neighborhood favorite serves up high quality burgers catered specifically to you. This build-your-own-burger bar allows patrons to customize the entire burger from the bun to the protein to the toppings and sauce. In addition to grass-fed beef, their menu also includes gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. If you’re searching for the best burgers in Pittsburgh, definitely check out Stack’d!
Pro tip: Burgers are half off from 9PM-midnight every Tuesday!
Eleven Contemporary Kitchen is another stop on this list that only features one burger…but we promise this one burger is worth it! The Eleven Burger is made using braised veal, black pepper bacon, crispy onions, and your choice of white cheddar, Point Reyes blue, goat cheese, or Emmenthaler Swiss. Guests may enjoy this juicy burger while dining inside of a rehabilitated warehouse! Plus, the interior pays homage to the city’s rich industrial background!
Delicious burgers and HEAVENLY shakes…yes, please! Burgatory Bar is serving up loaded burgers YOUR WAY. Order off the menu or make your own creation. Either way, these burgers will have you on cloud 9. Pro-tip: get the sangria pitcher for the table (trust us).
