Friendly staff, clean and bright eating areas. Food was good and easy to find parking

916 and Bernie max salad- that's right a burger salad!!
Jackie A.

Do not snooze on the Brinery- these people are wonderful and their food is home made, from scratch and OUTSTANDING. they pour love and creativity into every dish that comes out of that kitchen. My FAVORITE on the menu is the 916 burger- I never had a better burger in my life, I prefer the smash style , and chef makes his own buns. It's just so delicious! If you want the same bang but want to be a little healthier, said amazing burger can be put on a salad, and that's the Bernie MAC salad!! Now I have to go get one, so do you a solid and get you some Brinery deliciousness!

916 double smash burger. Too much char for me
Alexis P.

The pics looked good, so my cousin and I went on a Thursday, we were the only ones there. I had the 916 (double smash burger) and my cousin, the unnamed chicken sandwich. The food took quite a long time to come out. Wish they would have taken my patties off the grill sooner, they were so charred, that's all I could taste. I ate what I could, I didn't bring it to the waiters attention, didn't feel like going through that. My cousin didn't realize the sandwich was a thigh and not a breast. She liked the breading but wouldn't have gotten it knowing it was a thigh. Friendly service, although, it was extremely slow.

Pickle tots

My friends and I were at a brewery nearby The Brinery. The staff let us know that the Brinery delivers to them and we didn't hesitate to order. I opted for one of the smashburger options along with the pickle tots. The food arrived within 20-30 minutes and was piping hot. The burger was fresh, juicy, and delicious. The burger patties were much larger than the bun. I was thankful they included plastic cutlery with the food because I needed the fork for everything that fell out. The pickle tots were crispy and a cross between a thick tater tot and a fried pickle. They came with homemade ranch and it was creamy and flavorful. I'm so glad I finally had the opportunity to try this business'

The brinery has been on my list for a LONG time now - and I finally got in. Never knew how much I could love a fried chicken thigh sandwich til now. Everything they make is great and even while fried - makes you feel good while eating it. I will absolutely be making this a normal spot for me to meet friends over some bomb food at. Thanks for being a 10/10 brinery! Service was great and very clean inside!

Nashville Hot Chicken
Spencer S.

Popped in to Sharpsburg and The Brinery after an afternoon of errands. We were hungry and had heard great things about the sandwiches and burgers here. When we stopped in around 3pm there was one other group eating and then left shortly thereafter and we had the place to ourselves. There's probably 5-6 tables in the eat-in side of the business with big windows looking out onto the street. Overall the place was a little dingy feeling and not terribly clean, but if they're going for that greasy divey feeling they're nailing it. Good classic 80s tunes cranking while we waited and our food was ready in about 10-15 minutes. My wife got the 916 which is their standard smash burger with a side of fries. I wish the fries had come with a little more than just ketchup packets, but the fries were pretty good. Her smash burger was pretty good too. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich which was piping hot and had a good balance of pickles and sauce. I was hoping for a little more kick of spicy heat than I got, but overall the chili oil flavor was right. Dropped a star for the dirty tables/chairs, but overall was happy with the meal and would come back to try other things. Not sure I'd do the Nashville Hot again though the fried chicken was good.

Chili crisp double burger

A bunch of us stopped by on Friday because they were donating a portion of their sales that evening to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Luckily we got there on the earlier side around 5:30pm because their line was basically nonstop after we ordered. Our food came out pretty quickly and it was so hearty and filling and comforting. There's probably around 20 seats or so in the main dining area with tables and a few seats in the area where you order. My favorites were the massive Nashville Hot sandwich (which had a kick to it which I loved!) and pickle tots and I don't even usually like pickles. I really want to come back and try their pork belly sandwich and their lobster roll!

BREAKFAST egg rolls. I was skeptical but they were so good!  Bonus peppermint mocha with a shot of Love Kate coffee liquor
Morgan B.

Stopped for Saturday morning brunch. As you walk in you order, and sit and wait for food. It's clean and minimalist decorated. Staff is nice and helpful. The seating is ok but they have the little metal chairs and they are a bit uncomfortable. I opted for the breakfast egg rolls and they did not didisappoint. Very good. For their brunch they have love Katie distillery serving mimosas and bloody Mary's. It's a beautiful partnership and we will be back.

Panzanella
Rosa R.

I enjoyed my visit to The Brinery one weeknight. I ordered the El Reno, which was topped with caramelized onions and their city sauce. The woman who took our orders explained to us the patties are very thin since they're smashed, so she suggested getting a double, which I did. I loved the pickle tots and could have eaten the entire basket myself! Their ranch is also pretty good! We also had the Panzanella which was really tasty, fresh, and refreshing. It was nice going on a weeknight because it wasn't too busy. There also seemed to be a few regulars who came in, which is always nice to see!

Cheese steak
Sarah G.

If you have a hankering for a burger, this is the spot. Absolutely insane sandwiches- the smash burgers were excellent and the cheesesteak was spot on. Shoestring fries aren't my favorite, but these were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We came on a Friday night, we were the only people there and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. We were shocked this place was empty with food this good. Will absolutely be back!

Seating area

I've had food from what I believe is their food truck in the past. I've been wanting to try the brick and mortar restaurant. On a Friday night I made my way down to Sharpsburg just to try this place. I walked in and was immediately, enthusiastically greeted. I started to glance at the menu and asked what should I order? The nice lady working the counter said everything! She then said I should really try the Levittown if I like cheesesteaks. I glanced down at the menu to see the description; shaved ribeye, onions and homemade cheez wiz...that's it. I said well that sounds great, I'll take that. She quickly asked if I would like fries too and of course I said sure. I grabbed a bottle of water, paid and was given a table number. You walk through a small doorway and there is a sitting area next door where you pick your own seat. I sat down and waited about 15 minutes for my food, not bad because the small dining room was fairly full and they kept running food out. The plastic basket arrived with the cheesesteak wrapped up and the fries surrounding it. The fries were thin shoestring fries similar to the ones from Moonlit. They were decent, but I probably didn't need to order them as the cheesesteak would have been enough. I decided to eat some of the cheesesteak without any condiments added (I love ketchup on them). I wanted to truly taste it as is. It was amazing. I lived in Philly for a while and have had some phenomenal and some sub par cheesesteaks in the past. This ranked really high for me. I would say it's one of the best cheesesteaks I've had back in Western PA. The meat was seasoned perfectly, the onions were great, the standout however was the homemade cheez wiz. It was absolutely delicious. Again, I think this was the best cheesesteaks that I've had in Pittsburgh. As I was leaving the lady at the counter asked how I enjoyed it and made sure to tell her it was great and I'm glad that she suggested it.

Chili Crisp Burger
Michael S.

I didn't know what to expect when I walked in here. So it's order at the register then they bring your order to you like Shake Shack would. If you go when it's slammed you may not get a table so keep that in mind. It's pretty small inside with about 10 tables. I ordered a double smash chili crisp and side of the city fries. Now it took about 45 min for this to come out. When my food was brought to me the bearded gentleman informed me that they ran out of potatoes so he gave me city chips. Now I love this and hate this. Love it because awesome on him for giving me another option. Very nice on his behalf. Hate this because I want fries with my burger. It's a MUST. I do not like chips and felt like an asshole telling him this. He reimbursed me for it so also good on his behalf The wait was pretty long for a double smash burger but it was a Saturday night at 7:00 and multiple parties of 4-6 in front of us so I totally get that. The burger itself was pretty fucking good and I typically am NOT a smash burgers fan. I love being able to get a Pittsburgh rare but you don't get that with smash burgers. This though didn't disappoint. A little salty but I love salt bombs so if you're not a salty person be cautious. Had a great grease to it (fingers dripping) and good spice. The spice to where it still has good flavor and doesn't take away with the heat.

Continues to be one of the best Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh. We generally stick to take-out, but…read morethe restaurant now claims to be open for dining in. There was some construction going on when we picked up or order, so maybe call ahead to get up to date status. Street parking nearby is fairly easy. The online ordering experience is very easy. The food is nicely packaged and extremely well labeled to identify exactly what's in each container. In terms of the food itself, the level of flavor in just about everything is phenomenal. We have ordered items at a spice level ranging from 5 to 8 on a scale of 10. That feels like a good range, depending on the item. Sometimes a tom yum soup needs to be a 5 and a curry feels right at around 7 or 8. The som tom salad and tom yum soup were both extremely flavorful. The fresh rolls with shrimp were somewhat lacking and have generally been better in the past. The stir fries and curries were fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the garlic stir fry and red curry for our latest order. All told, this is an excellent destination. They consistently serve up excellent Thai food, and the restaurant staff all seem very committed to the goal. This is exactly the kind of destination that I like to support.

Takeout from here is always pretty solid, they definitely run spicier than other Thai spots in the…read morecity so make sure you can handle it! Their Kao Soi is quite thick, more curry noodle than noodle soup which is my personal preference. But, I loved how much vegetable and flavor t had, only wish it had more onion and other toppings. Overall you can't go wrong with any of the dishes here, and I would definitely pick the stir fried noodles as must tries!
