Editorial Review for Tessaro's – by Sam Edelmann
The Scene
A classic neighborhood bar setup has a handful of spots to pass the time during the inevitable wait for a table. The kitchen, visible from the dining room, features a large hardwood grill and is an entertaining distraction. Students grab a quick bite, upscale professionals meet for lunch, families dine together and out-of-towners experience Pittsburgh's best burger.
The Food
Char-grilled flavor adds a special flair to ordinary burgers, steaks and chops, making this the place to eat for grilled-food lovers. The burgers are half-pounders, cooked perfectly to individual preference. Toppings run the gamut: various cheeses, coleslaw and Russian dressing among them. An estimated 400 are hand-patted daily. The secret? The burger meat has steak and filet added to the mix.

I enjoyed the burgers the wait was a little long but not excessive (as the food was great). The staff could smile a little more and this website should not have a minimum of 100 characters.

No joke, the single best cheeseburger I've ever had in my life. I mean, it's not even close. Great atmosphere, too.
Pros: food, staff, vibe
Cons: parking is sparse, can get cramped in there
