Burg’s in the Burgh

Not the place we were expecting it to be. Was in the mood for a burger, and that’s not anything that they have. Basically just a deli. Out of most of the foods from their lunch today. Very weird place.

Excellent bar with deli sandwiches. Cheap beer and food for in the city. Very diverse crowd.

Out of most of the ingredients for a sandwich. Got over charged for a basic sandwich and a beer. Avoid if you can.

Good for a quick lunch. Corned beef was good but a tad dry. Solid sandwich though! Good deli pickles. We came in for lunch and there wasn’t much of a crowd. This definitely seems like more of an after work kind of place.

I’ve been here a few times, but I order the reuben every time. It’s really good, and I get cravings for it. They offer two sizes and the «smaller» size is the size of a regular sandwich and I think it’s around $ 5 so it’s a pretty good deal. (The guy at the counter always asks if I want a free pickle which I find kindof funny, but I don’t really like the pickles. They are HUGE but not very crunchy.) When you walk in, it’s kind of dark, and if it weren’t for the people sitting on the porch-​type thing outside you might wonder if they are even open. It’s mostly a bar, but they have a deli counter in the middle. The guys making sandwiches look kind of tough/​rough, but they are very nice and sweet: you can tell they really appreciate the lunch business. There’s pretty much never a line in there (but there’s usually 1 – 5 people having a beer). It’s not super clean or new (it used to be «Sammy’s» if you remember that place) but overall if you want a good cheap Pittsburgh owned place to eat it’s pretty good.

Anytime I’m down by Consol there’s only one place I go, Burg’s! Yummy, quickly prepared food. Not fast food, think deli food. Although, my favorite is the all beef ¼ pound hot dog! Killer prices too! ½ sandwichs 3.50−3.75 or get the whole thing for just 5.50−6 bucks. Wanna drink downtown, but not pay downtown prices? GO HERE! If you’re going to Consol for anything, park next door, on the left, at the garage. It’s usually 10 bucks for any event! That’s ½ price from basically everything else and you’re only 2 – 3 blocks from the venue. The bar is attached via hallway from the garage. It’s a perfect one two punch to make whatever you’ve got going on a knockout! Enjoy!

If you love corned beef and pastrami sandwiches this is the place for you. They have two downtown locations and the service is excellent. The food is delicious and the place is clean. Great for lunch or happy hour. The sell Dr. Brown soda which I absolutely love. The bread is fresh and the meat is lean! Good times!
