There’s nothing quite like the perfect burger. Juicy, flavorful, and made just right. In the 2024 TribLIVE Best of the Best Community Choice Awards, burger lovers across the north region cast their votes, and three sizzling favorites came out on top. These spots aren’t just flipping patties; they’re setting the standard for burgers done right.
Gold went to Tessaro’s Restaurant in Pittsburgh, a legendary name known for its hardwood-grilled burgers, fresh ingredients, and old-school charm. With a reputation built on quality and consistency, Tessaro’s remains a must-visit for any serious burger enthusiast.
Taking Silver, Burgatory is a local powerhouse when it comes to burger creativity. Located in Pittsburgh’s North Hills, this spot is famous for its build-your-own burger experience, devilishly good shakes, and bold flavor combos that keep guests coming back for more.
Rounding out the winners with Bronze, The Blue Goose Saloon in Shaler is a neighborhood gem serving up hearty, no-nonsense burgers with big flavor. Its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions make it the perfect place to unwind with friends and indulge in a classic comfort favorite.
These winning burger joints are fueling community pride and appetites. Winning a TribLIVE Best of the Best Award is a tribute to the passion, craft, and loyal support behind every bite.
Congrats to Tessaro’s Restaurant, Burgatory, and The Blue Goose Saloon for topping the charts in 2024!
