Amazing! Loved the open air seating, eclectic flavors brought together were a delightful surprise. Can not wait to go back. By far the very best burger ever.

Best burger I have ever had. The candied jalapeno burger is the way to go. Did not care for the home fries, but I am a french fry person. Would highly recommend.

Good burger. Delicious home fries with poblano peppers, which was a nice addition. Good, friendly service. Nice selection of beer. Will come back to try more things!

Went during lunch on a Friday, bartender was also the waiter but no problems with service, as other reviewers mentioned. Had a burger with blue cheese, bacon, cooked medium. Probably the best blue cheese I've had on a burger in years, everything was cooked correctly and tasted great.

Side note: It was a work lunch so no drinking, but they have a massive selection on whiskey and bourbons, so it wouldn't be a bad place to stop off for a drink.

Best burgers. This was in fact the best burger I have ever had. Nice atmosphere too.
(I got the goat cheese and green apple.)

Love this place!. The best burgers, available with some cool twists. Great draft/liquor selection. Outdoor seating available, pool table in the back. Cool atmosphere, TV above the bar for catching the Pirate game. I've been to the restaurant 5 or 6 times and enjoyed every visit, never a problem and always tasty!

Best Burger in the 'Burgh. I have sat at the bar and at tables and I have had attentive service every visit so I don't agree with those saying they have received poor service multiple times. And for me, the sides do not make the burger or the meal so no fries is fine by me. I have tried the curry cabbage cole slaw (not a fan)and the potato salad (which I thought was yummy). The burgers are big enough that I usually don't take more than a taste of the side anyways.The Rosemary Balsamic Goat cheese and green apple burger is my favorite!The flavors compliment each other well and it was cooked medium as I had ordered.The red wine braised onions&truffle mustard burger was also very good.I was not impressed with the buffalo burger though-it was just ok. My boyfriend has also had the fried egg burger which he said was spicy but not overpowering.The burgers are a little pricey but the goat cheese and apple burger is highly worth it-I don't think I could say the same about any of their other burgers however.

Really good burgers. Benjamin's has jumped to the top of my Pittsburgh burger spot hierarchy. It's now my go to place before concerts or games on the north side. The cream cheese jalapeno and bacon burger was cooked perfectly. The blue cheese and bacon potato salad was a perfect side. Nice selection of drafts too. I sat at the bar and the servers were attentive and nice. Prices were a little on the high side, but the quality of the food is worth it. I'll be back.

If all you care about is a tasty, quality burger then I would recommend Benjamins. I had the portabella mushroom & swiss burger then added red wine braised onions. Adding the onions was a good move; they were extremely tasty & cooked well yet i could still taste the actual burger. (Only being able to taste burger toppings has been an issue lately.) The bun was good too but nothing to get overly excited for. As for my full experience I would best describe it as a bit off. The restaurant had the feel & decor of a wine bar; lots of wooden features & a chalk board w/ wine list. I liked it but to me didnt seem like the place to be eating a big messy burger. Not that burgers & wine shouldn't ever go together but maybe sliders would be more appropriate. I dont know but for whatever reason my meal vs. environment didnt seem to mesh. Also if you must eat fries w/ your burger they are not offered. You do get a side included though (i had soy sesame broccoli - good but nothing great.) However, going back to my initial statement I DID have a great burger & would get it again!

Though they just reopened a mere two days ago....this place puts out quality! Needed a place for food and drinks after the Pride Parade on Saturday and remembered they just opened.( I feel bad for all the restaurants that day because I'm pretty sure they were unaware the parade ended at Allegheny Commons West Park!) This place has fabulous space in and out and is putting out great food from a microscopic kitchen, bravo! The bartender delivered quality mixed drinks ( I wish I had gotten her name) and, over though overwhelmed by the influx of guests, what super sweet! She deserved a bonus that day!! Everyone loved the food and was deemed best burgers in the city! My hot dog was phenomenal but please do not pass up the charcuterie/ cheese board...that was the highlight!!!!

Great surprise for a place in which I really had no expectations from looking at it from the outside. The inside is awesome! Great environment and a number of beers they do under the name of War Streets Brewery. The Carrington St. Kölsch was my pick and it was awesome. Great & super cool place!

Came here for a lunch meeting and found the place to be charming and well-appointed. Service was excellent, and the BLT I ordered was delicious. I'm typically a slow eater; however, I found myself devouring my sandwich in about a quarter the time it took my companion to consume his grilled cheese. We didn't have any alcohol, but their selection looked expansive, which was encouraging for a future visit. Bier's has some great art on the walls, as well as in the bathroom. The sole downside to the experience was the noise level. As the pub is essentially one large room, sound tends to gather and amplify; additionally, their "kitchen" is right at the end of the bar rail, which means you're also contending with the sizzle of food prep. tl;dr: solid place with great food. Would/will return.

Went for brunch. Asked the waiter if the lamb sausage was any good and he said it’s the best option on their brunch menu and he wasn’t lying. Great food, great service, and a great spot on the north side to eat at.

Awesome burgers, baked brie appetizer is amazing! Just a really cool, casual place attached to a local brewery, but has other local breweries on tap as well, and some regional and national beers in cans or bottles...try ginger here to eat whenever I happen to be on the North Side for whatever reason.

Visited Bier's for lunch - there was plenty of seating for us as a party of five but not too much seating overall so during a busy time I could see that being a slight issue. The place was nice and kid-friendly with a lot of nice food options in addition to something around 20 selections on tap. The cheese/charcuterie plate was pretty hefty, the burgers were cooked well, and the coleslaw was fantastic (which is a big plus for me). Service was quick and friendly. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Great burger, cooked as ordered. Fabulous flavor in the Candied Jalapeno Cream Cheese. You gotta try the Bacon Fat Fries and the baked beans are heaven, on a stick. Lotsa craft beer choices, some from the microbrew in the basement Don't forget dessert!
