BnD’z Burgerz & Dogz

This location has CLOSED. Redeem your groupons at the south park location which definitely will earn your 5 star review. The original, and the best.

This place is closed!!! Tried calling and no answer so I drove up and they are closed.

Food and service was good but very expensive. I had a $ 2O groupon (for which I paid $ 12) and had to pay $ 14 more. Plus $ 2 to park in the garage next door. So while the novelty of custom burgers is cool, and they tasted great, it simply exceeds the price I am willing to pay for lunch.
I got the 8oz burger. Well, an 8oz is actually two 4oz patties stacked. It was a bit awkward to eat. Tasted good though.
The dining room was a dissapointment. Here we are in a corner location on the main drag in Mt Lebo and we are sitting in a spartan room in the way back of the building with windows too high to see anything but sky.
I rate this place a 4 because I got what I wanted but probably won’t return due to the high prices.
I should note: the amount paid was for 3 people.

Got a $ 20 groupon because I wanted to give this place a try. The location is close and wanted to love it — staff was very friendly and the place was not busy because it was a late lunch. We ordered 2 burgers and made them a meal (added a drink and fries) and the total was over $ 30 so the groupon for the meal for 2 didn’t even cover 2 burgers with drinks and fries! In my opinion it felt like a fast food place at gourmet prices. If I’m going to pay that much I’d rather go up the street to BRGR in the galleria. The burgers were juicy but BRGR is better so won’t go here again.

Gross. Overpriced greasy burger and fries I threw away. And I was starving! Skip this place.

This was the second time I have tried the Mt. Lebo location. The first time was shortly after they opened and clearly had some kinks to work out. After going for a second try, I am still extremely disappointed in them.
Granted I did go for lunch at noon, on a work day, when the local schools had a half day of school.
They were clearly understaffed and unorganized. It took over 20 minutes to make a standard salad with no meat on it. The girl working the register/​taking orders also had to take food to the people who were dinning in. The cooks seemed very scattered and kept repeating orders.

We love this place!!! It’s (almost) guilt-​free «fast food» because of the quality of the ingredients they use. We have sampled the beef and bison patties, as well as the bacon wrapped cheese dogs, and all are fantastic and as healthy as meat gets! :-) The grass-​fed beef burgers are my personal favorite, and I am equally fond of the regular fries and the sweet potato fries (don’t forget that cinnamon sugar!) We are also delighted with the new additions of milkshakes, root beer floats, and Boylan’s sodas — fantastic to enjoy pop without the high fructose corn syrup when dining out! :-) Some of the menu items are admittedly a little pricier than other places — but I feel I am paying for quality and unique options, so I am ok with that. We have sometimes experienced the service to be a little slow, but other times it was quite fast — given that everything is cooked fresh and to order. Again — I don’t mind waiting a bit for that. (Being able to walk into a place and leave with a burger and fries within a minute or two — well, the food «quality» is going to reflect that…)
[Hope it’s ok to say this — and I’m not sure if it’s ok to use their names — but some the «popular» restaurant discount companies offer deals for this restaurant — I highly recommend purchasing one of those in advance to keep your costs down…]

Seriously? In this day and time of health consciousness… ok…it was a free choice to walk in but, seriously?
Ok… two people for lunch… one bison burger and one hot dog plus two drinks, one water and one fountain soda, cost $ 23.79 Seriously?
The mini-​mound of fries was about 2 potatoes of fries… covered in cheese, and very tired looking bacon bits and smothered atop with Mac n Cheeese… Ok, so I didn’t read the menu… i just thought it was going to be fries. Fries with mac n cheese and more cheese… OMG …I know I’m going to need a laxative. omg. They were cold fries on top of the heart attack I was about to down. Seriously?
The dining room was a huge red room. I felt like i was eating in the waiting room of mechanics garage. Given the amount of oil expended to make my lunch it could have been. Red walls, loud untuned radio station, heart attack food and 30 $ for all that pleasure. Seriously???
Go next door to Greek or Thai. Skip this accident.

Very Disappointed! I have eaten at Bz N Dz in the South Park area (right beside the trolley tracks) and it has always been good. This visit to the one in Mt Lebanon was disappointing. I ordered a Loaded Salad with Chicken and my husband ordered a Chicago Dog with Chili Cheese fries.
My husband really liked his Chicago Dog but the chili on the fries tasted like It came straight from the can. Yuck!
When my salad came it looked good-​Spring Mix greens, tomatoes and cucumbers. I was ready to dig in. I ate some of my salad and realized there was no chicken. I took the salad back up to the counter and told them they had forgotten the chicken. The server took my salad and said she would take care of it. Well, I waited and waited and waited. I watched while all of the customers get served their food and milkshakes. Finally my husband stopped the waitress and asked about my salad. I think it’s safe to say that they had forgotten all about it. They finally brought me out a new salad and when I went to eat a piece of the chicken it was gross. It looked like they had taken bits of the dark meat of a chicken and pressed them together. It was gray, had a weird texture, and had no taste. I ended up asking for a To Go box. I thought one of my boys would eat it. Nope. We ended up feeding the «chicken» to our dogs.
I don’t think we’ll go back.

Went here the other day after doing some shopping in the area. The hubby was really in the mood for a good burger and this place came up in our Unilocal search.
When we went in we were quickly greeted and told that we should order up front and our food would be brought to us. We went to the back to check out the dining room seating, but since no one else was in there we decided to sit at the counter overlooking the grill space.
We quickly decided on our food and placed our orders. We each got a custom burger and we shared a mini-​mound of fries. Now the burgers were good. Well prepared and at the right temperature, but in my opinion where completely outshined by the mini-​mound. This was an impressive heap of french fries, that miraculously stayed crispy and fresh the whole time we were grazing on them (close to 45 minutes), topped with mac and cheese, cheese sauce, and bacon, and we were given ranch to dip them in. These were so good and ridiculously decadent and we did eat for quite a while and still had a bunch to take home with us.
Also I have to comment on the great staff at this place. We had the best time just hanging around with them. Everyone was very friendly, and made this an even better experience! Even though this isn’t local to us I am pretty sure we will be back soon!

At prices that fit a date budget…
THIS IS YOUR SOUTrH HILLS STOP!

Loved it! Best garden burger I ever had! Met the owner and franchise owner. Very friendly! All free range meats and hormone free! I highly recommend this place.

Food still great, however service has declined. What I loved about this location was the seating and service in the back room. Well that is gone. According to the staff they had to cut back due to lack of patrons, so three back room is self serve.
Maybe it’s the weather?
They did forget the Mac& cheese on my son’s burger. He opted not to tell them, he was hungry. When you order an appetizer, they usually come out before the meal, here it’s part of the meal. So watch out.
So overall food great, but service not as great. :(

Very friendly employees. I had a cheeseburger w/​fried onions and pepper jack cheese. I liked it, but nothing to write home about. Restaurant is clean and lots of tables in the back. Temp outside was around 30 and it is cold back there, as an FYI. The only seating in front (where its warmer since the kitchen is open concept) is counter seats. Next time I will explore the menu a bit more as I noticed a Mac n cheese burger on there, which sounds pretty fab! Overall a decent experience, good food, nice location.

I was there last weekend with my family. I was very uninpressed with the service and the fact that they could not get our orders right. Also while I put our order in I watched the cook working the fry station over salt a small bowl of fries repeatedly. I thought to myself, I hope we do not get those fries. the burgers were cooked to temp and we’re pretty good. The fries were as expected, unedible. I’m not sure that there was a manager on duty and you could diffiantly tell. If your going to sell burgers for 10 dollars and up you better have your stuff together. I will say we did have a much better experience at the library location. But the owner was there.

Summary: Awesome Hot Dog’s and Burgers. We have visited this new restaurant a few times now and find the food and service to be consistently good. We plan to go back. I highly recommend it !
Location:
Nicely decorated and modern looking. Short and easy to navigate Menu. Their core focus is Burgers, Hot Dogs, Fries and Shakes. There are a few (well placed) large, wall-​mounted Flat Screens usually on ESPN. There is (limited) seating in the front for a quick in/​out or waiting for your takeout. However there is seating in the back. I suggest you secure your table before ordering if you have a larger group because space is limited.
Positives:
Details of last visit: We brought some friends by for our second time and they loved it too. There are good food choices for Kids; our Daughter really liked the kid’s grill cheese. Her friend gave a 2 thumbs up for the Kid’s Burger and they both LOVED the fries — actually we all did :-) The adults tried the Sweet Potato and Regular Fries, Barbecue Burger, Hot Dogs and the Garden Veggie Burger. We all found the food to be Hot, Juicy and VERU Flavorful.
Opportunities:
Hamburgers are Delicious but a bit pricey; $ 1 or $ 2 higher than I would expect. Overall Meal Price-​Point for the 3 of us was $ 33 for Hot Dog, Sweet Potato Fries and a Drink /​Barbecue Burger With Fries no Drink /​Kids Meal Hot Dog and Juice. Feels like it should have been closer to $ 25. We would visit more often if the prices were a bit lower.
Need some level of Hostess service to help (at least) larger groups of 3 or more. For example: in our last visit, we had to arrange and clean our own tables to accommodate our group of 6.

This place recently came to Mt. Leb and it immediately hopped on my «Eat Here» list. I went with my guy after a heavy night of adult beverages and we needed greasy food ASAP.
Foremost, the set-​up of the restaurant is awful. We walked in to the store to the grill line and some bar stool seating (no alcohol involved). We tried to order there, but were sent back to the «dining area.»
Our waitress was young and very slow. She didn’t make much of an effort to connect with us or help us order, even though we told her it was our first time there. We ordered chili cheese fries from the menu as an appetizer — of course, they came with our main course.
Tim and I both ordered custom burgers from the Burgatory-​esque menu pads. The toppings that were available were extensive specialty items — avocado, smokehouse onion cheddar cheese, season your own burger? Why don’t you have seasoned meat, BnDz? Our MTO burgers were tasty, but nothing special… even with the added specialty toppings. They were both over-​cooked.
The dining clientele itself was very interesting. One woman knocked over her glass of Pepsi and her waitress took a total of 20 minutes to clean it up (with paper towels, no rag or mop).
Nothing made sense about this place.

I’ve been going here almost once a week since they opened and always get the same thing. The Chicago Dog with the natural casing is just about amazing. This hot dog could compete with any in the Windy City and that’s probably the case because they use the same Vienna Hot Dogs.
Another cool thing I discovered this past week is that they are doing ½ off mounds of fries every Wednesday, which is a heart attack of fries, nacho cheese, bacon, Mac n cheese and ranch. Throw in an Iron City and it’s yinzer heaven.

Stopped by to Creat Your Own Masterpiece. The place was crowded with the small dinning area in the back being full and only a couple seats at the counter. B&Dz use hormone free beef in the burger. Burger was perfectly cooked and very good. Had the sweet potato friez. The friez were overly coated with cinnamon!!!

Yes, we hit the other BnDz location! The one closest to us!
Oh, you didn’t think we’d let it slip by us, did you? No, no after this weekend we wouldn’t.
BnDz’s red-​and-​black motif is still in effect here, although this is more the be-​seated-​and-​be-​waited-​on experience. Unlike the South Park location, you can make your way through an undulating hallway to take a seat in the spacious dining room or grab a stool at the counter to watch all the sizzling, grill-​side excitement for yourself as you indulge.
For those not yet hip to what’s goin’ on, BnDz’s borrows from Burgatory their novel check-​off sheet ordering system, allowing for premium customization.
Once again, something was accidentally omitted. My burger — this time the all-​natural, hormone-​free ground beef — didn’t have the bacon I ordered, but once I called it to our server’s attention, she nixed it from the tab. Everything else I ticked off the boxes, however, was included.
I went with the squishy Cellone’s white bun, their «signature mayonnaise» (I’m not sure what they put in it, but it’s a step above Hellmann’s for sure), avocado (forgotten at the South Park BnDz, ironically enough), grilled onions, honey mustard, sweet onion power, garlic powder, dill pickle chips, lettuce, tomato, and a marvelously melted American cheese.
Still, I propose that some sort of scanner like those used to grade standardized tests could be applied here to «read» the menu sheets so as to offset human error. It’s either that or have tableside touch screens.
Another minor gripe I have is that my medium-​rare burger was almost medium. It was sort of hard to tell, but I kept feeling like there should have been more pink and moisture in that patty. Regardless, I savored my soft, meaty, crunchy, creamy, tangy, salty creation, no holds barred.
Kay and I each ordered a combo that got us individual servings of their french fries, which honestly could have benefited from another plunge in hot fat and a bit of sea salt. Passable, greasy steak fries they were even if the other location’s Original Hot Dog Shop-​quality was not achieved here.
We also shared a customized hot dog with bacon, bbq sauce, pickle spear, and diced onion on a pretzel bun and were left feeling pretty satisfied with what we’d concocted, the chewy, doughy bun pretty much making the frank.
This satellite has some bugs to shake out of its turbines, but with a nifty business model and above average food, I think BnDz will become a fixture throughout Pittsburgh much like My Big Fat Greek Gyro has.
