    Stopped here for a Saturday lunch while in the area. With there being several locations, this particular one was nestled on the edge of a downtown district leaning towards residential neighborhoods. There is street parking which we had to find a block away, metered parking as well. Set up as a fast casual place - enter, place order, take seat and they bring our food and drink. No fountain beverages, everything bottled and a la carte. We ordered a double burger each, mine the regular one with the moon sauce and onion. We also added the moon fries to start which I thought were just play fries but actually came with two burgers on top with cheese and moon sauce. The fries were very good - definitely a fork use only - plenty of flavor and the fries were a nice vessel for the burger, cheese and moon sauces. The burgers were your standard smash burgers - and I appreciated the tangy flavor of the moon sauce which I got an extra side of in case they short changed us. To take I added a chocolate shake which was also very good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and they buss your table for you which is nice. Nice bright colors, bathroom was clean and decorative, and obviously a new build where they have recently opened and are making sure to handle every customer thoroughly.

    I got the moonlit double smash burger with fries. The meat quality of the burger was good. However, the outer edges of the meat were pretty burnt and the bun was very average. I suppose this is how a Smashburger is, but I've had better smash burgers elsewhere. I honestly could've gotten a third patty because two didn't quite satisfying, my hunger. The space is really cool with a nice outdoor seating. The restaurant was very clean inside and the restroom was spotless. The service was excellent. We were greeted when we came in the door. The cashier was very friendly. They had a lot of beer options and even other drink options. I would go here again in the future.

    12/5/2025 Ate list: Cheeseburger - 8.6 So Moonlit in Dormont is already great and well respected in our house. We were in Sewickley for their Light Up Night on Friday and Moonlit Burgers had an outdoor stand serving burgers outside at their storefront. For a burger being stored in a like "Hot Sleeve," it was significantly better than a lot of burgers I've had. Very impressed, cool location, definitely want to visit again!

    We have waited for this location very patiently for some time and it was worth the wait! What a joy it is to visit with the good eats and friendly staff. Always busy with our several visits yet so efficient service. The spot is clean, well cared for, and we will be back .. maybe like tomorrow! lol We enjoy sharing a triple moonlit burger and basket of fries and of course a Turner's tea! Their fries are semi leaning McDonald's shoestring in the most delightful way. Also have enjoyed a brew on tap, and cannot wait to try a boozy or non-boozy shake next time!

    Moonlit had been one of our favorite smash burgers in the city since they were doing pop ups in east liberty. We have been to every location and have been very anxiously awaiting this location to open as it is closest to our home. We went on the opening weekend and have been back again a second time. It is just as good as we remember! The burgers are great and the buns are delicious too. The fries are always crispy and the portion is generous. Service was a little slow the first time, but to be expected on opening weekend!! The second time was nice and fast! They had coloring pages for our boys to do while we waited for our food and the staff have been really kind and accommodating to our littles. The restaurant is decorated nicely, the bathroom was clean, and we are looking forward to our next burger! Thanks for bringing moonlit north!!

    Been following the Moonlit story for several years now and super excited to have this new location in Sewickley opening up! Food is excellent and on par with each of the other locations. Staff are friendly and efficient in getting the large crowds through the line and seated with ease. The smash burgers are the main draw for me, but they have plenty of sides, drinks and shakes. Can't wait to come back as this is our closest location by 30+ minutes.

    First time visiting the new location here! (been to Dormont) The staff here is so welcoming and very swift with checking on you. The food came within 2 minutes. We took the last table it was busy but again the staff pays attention to details of every table here and looking at the floors. They keep it very clean. The one blonde woman working was very personable and sweet to all tables here as I watched her interactions. I got The Big Mick and it has a lot of different flavors you get from all that's on it. I love a good smash burger. We will be back! Maybe on a weekday and not a Friday evening when finding street parking is a challenge.

    First chance to visit this new location. We were there in the snow and late lunch time so the place was pretty empty. The lines I've seen on a typical Saturday during lunch are a testament to this restaurant's popularity. We ordered (2) bacon cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, a chicken sandwich and fries and four bottles of soda. $73 seems so steep for burgers and fries but these guys do it better then most so it's worth it!! The location is bright and beautiful and all new!! The food is well made and fresh! The rolls are always fresh and the staff is super friendly and answered our questions happily!! Thank you for a great experience Moonlit Sewickley!!

    We got an online order and ate in the car. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is beautiful and modern. The burgers are fantastic. I really dislike the fries because they are shoestring. They were also overcooked and cold. The prices seem fair, but it would be better if the burger came with fries.

    All time favorite smash burgers. Still fast food vibes but quick, friendly, and tasty.

    I went back within a week....i had to try the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the chili cheese fries. The sandwich was delicious..a good crispy coating with wonderful flavor. BUT, the star of the show were the chili cheese fries. The chili is so tasty! I intend to go back and ask them to put the chili on my burger! We topped it off with a chocolate shake....excellent! Prices are very reasonable and food comes out quickly. Service is excellent....but I do feel they can get a bit carried away with not taking ur order until they are assured there will be an open table for your party....seems like they are adding more work for themselves.

    My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at moonlit in sewickley. Who is the particular busy night in the staff? Did a really good job making sure the seating was organized. Wife had the classic and I had the double bacon. Both were delicious! We also had fries and cheese... the cheese was the star! We also had two adult drinks, both were solid. We plan on coming back with our children who I think we're really enjoy this places

    Ate dinner here on a Saturday evening when it was busy enough the owner kept a waiting list. After 15 minutes we got a text that we could join the line to order, and a table was waiting for us outside. Food was brought to us quickly, but we had to get our own napkins, plasticware, and condiments. Also the milkshake that was ready later. The staff will clear the table when you're done. We paid about $20 per person for 2 burgers, 1 side of shoestring fries (feeds 2-4 people depending on your appetite), 1 strawberry milkshake (thick, and not too big), plus tip. Food was good. It's nice to have another option for dinner in the evening in the village, although I suspect they will be hurting for space when the weather isn't as pleasant as it was tonight.

    When you're in the 'Burgh, find something local and go enjoy. I'm not local, and I was thinking…read morepierogis & Iron City, maybe catch some Pittsburgh sportsball? Downey's House provided the local spot I needed. An ice cold Yuengling on draft went down very well, and while I didn't find pierogis on the menu, I settled for a phenomenal bowl of spaghetti & meatballs. Local marinara & meatballs made with the same recipe of the old Main Hotel that was in Carnegie for nearly 100 years. That bowl of pasta was SCRUMPTIOUS and just what I was after. I even talked my lovely wife into doing up her salad 'Pittsburgh style', which means adorning the salad with fries. And yes, it's as good as it sounds. Thrown in a protein like grilled chicken and that is a banger of a meal. Great dining area with a square-shaped bar and TVs with sight-lines in any direction. The service is friendly and helpful, and prices are probably lower than at some chain-y eatery that just makes your food via assembly line. It's local and sensational!

    I stopped in on a Sunday night. I appreciate that their kitchen is open much later than any other…read morerestaurant in the neighborhood. I was hungry, but I was also anxious to get home after a long day. I walked in and ordered a craft draft beer and placed an order for a burger to go. Sidelines has a great selection of craft drafts, so I give that part of their pub 5 stars! Their fresh cut fries are also delicious, and deserve a 5-star review! That said, the burger was big but just okay in flavor. What bothered me most is that when I looked at my bill, they tacked on an extra $1 for a "to go" order. $1 isn't going to make or break someone, and I understand an extra charge if someone just orders food to go. In my case, I was a sit-down customer with the beer while I was waiting for a burger and fries in a bag. I guess if I had ordered on a plate, I could have taken a few bites at my seat and then asked for a to go container for my leftovers? I just felt as though I was not appreciated as a customer. They can have the $1, but I most likely will avoid this place going forward. I just don't get the rationale behind charging a customer extra money even if they order a pricey adult beverage enjoyed at a table or bar.

    DO NOT COME HERE! HORRIFYING!!! I came in with my sister…read moreand our friend. We're all young women in our 20s who have each worked as servers for years, so we understand how hard it can be and are incredibly patient and respectful. But this was just out of hand. A real life nightmare! worst server ever! I've never left a Yelp review until this one! First of all, it took forever for our server to even acknowledge our table. The appetizers took at least 30 minutes. Our entrées took OVER an hour. Then one meal still came out 15 minutes after the rest of us had already been served. Mind you, it was NOT BUSY AT ALL! We ordered 6 wings and she put in 12, and charged us for all 12. We ordered a side of ranch and she charged me for THREE cups of ranch. Like no one asked for all that. We also asked for celery with the wings and never got it. The food was a disaster. My meal and my sister's came out ice cold and nasty...and my friend's meal came out 15 minutes after ours. Also, I ordered waffle fries, but they forgot them, gave me my friend's regular fries instead (which were also ice cold), and my actual waffle fries didn't arrive until my friend's meal came out 15 minutes after ours. The service somehow got even worse once the food arrived. She would not refill anything! Not even water! We were dying of thirst for 30 minutes. When we asked for water DURING the meal, we didn't receive it until about 45 minutes later, after we had already PAID THE BILL. WORST PART-- We sat there with food in front of us for about 10 minutes just staring at it, because SHE NEVER BROUGHT silverware. She was nowhere to be found! When we politely asked if we could have some so we could actually eat, she had the nerve to joke, "No, you can't." It wasn't funny. Dead silence. We waited 1.5 hours and were tired and hungry. It was just another example of how little she seemed to care about doing her job. What made the entire experience even more frustrating was the complete lack of accountability. Mistake after mistake after mistake, and it took about ten inconveniences before she finally managed to force out the word "sorry" at the VERY END when we were signing the bill, just trying to revive her tip. She came across as lazy, inconsiderate, and like someone who absolutely hates her job. I don't know her name, but she was heavy-set, wore a trucker hat, brown ponytail, and large hoop earrings. And to top it all off, there were ants everywhere. This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. Between the outrageous wait times, cold food, incorrect orders, unnecessary charges, terrible service, and ants crawling around, there's absolutely no reason to spend your money here.

You'll be required to find street parking, with the most convenient options being to pay for a parking space on the street nearby. (There is also free street parking but you may have to drive around a bit to find a open spot) We had a table of 6 dining here around 5pm on a Friday. We met part of our group there, and they were already seated, so I don't believe waiting for a table was an issue (even for a party of 6). Once seated, our waiter was prompt and attentive and we also had who I assume to be a manager check-in with us. So no complaints about service. Our waiter took our drink order, appetizer order, food order and provided refills on drinks promptly/reasonably. All of our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals but my wife had the shrimp fajita and I had the rodeo burger (without BBQ sauce, I just wasn't in the mood for BBQ sauce but all of the other toppings sounded yummy - Gouda cheese, bacon, crispy fried onion, and chipotle aioli). Both are pictured. Overall, I'd recommend going here if you aren't bothered by street parking. The service, atmosphere, and food were solid.
