First timer trying the bison burger, and OMG I have never had a better burger in my life! I still have dreams about it. I must go back and order it again!

Best hot dog EVER! Bright, friendly staff and excellent food so far. More on the menu to try so will keep coming back. Delectable fries!

My family and I decided on trying out Burgerz And Dogz in South Park after finding it on Yelp one day. Well, I want to go back for sure. My daughter was not crazy about the hot dogs, but she is sometimes picky. My wife and I loved our burgers and I am looking forward to going back to try a bison burger.

Amazing food! Just tried it tonight on our way home from skiing. I had a Chicago Dog which was 100pct authentic! Neon green relish and sport peppers! The fries are amazing and they have malt vinegar on the tables which pairs beautifully! The cole slaw was very good and I saw but didn't try the chicken quesadilla which was literally grilled! Will definitely frequent seeing as it's on the way back from many places we visit outside the s hills!

I eat here often. I love it. Many say it is expensive but what isn't anymore? Perhaps a bit more than average but I believe it makes up for it. They have a nice variety of things to add. They make it any way you want. The bison burgers are great! Great staff too. Pretzel buns and gluten free buns are available for both burgers and dogs. The only suggestion I have is a turkey burger would be a VERY welcome addition. But their chicken burger is pretty good.

Burgers and Dogs is a very good restaurant. You can fill out your order on a piece of paper (there are tons of different options). There isn't too long of a wait for your food to come to you. Their burgers are very, very good, and they're fries are pretty good. Go here if you wanna enjoy a good burger.

Best burger joint around. The bison is great and sweet potato fries are to die for. The service is always great. You know it's a good joint when the owner personally goes to every table and asks how the food is and if anyone needs anything. Can't wait for more locations!

WHOA. This place really is as good as it gets! We've been looking for a place that has a good veggie burger and we found a place that has a GREAT veggie burger. Service was extremely friendly and fast. The food though, oh the food. Sweet potato fries were just right, macaroni and cheese was on point and they even have sweet tea. A few veggie options for the vegetarians out there so we'll totally be back.

"It's not THAT far away, " I told my harried Kay and we drove DEEP into the South Hills for the promise of good, gourmet burgers and macaroni and cheese french fries. "DARREN! WE'RE A FEW MILES FROM CANONSBURG!" she screamed as we passed such stalwarts of this suburb's dining scene as Dorido's, Gil's Cafe, and the South Hills Clubhouse. Dr. Auslander, our chiropractor, is to blame. The man (his folks own Weiner World!) has become a fan of my reviews after he found my write-up on his practice recently and mentioned to me that a new burger joint had opened in our sector of the metropolitan area. With burgers always on my brain, I convinced Kay to drive and drive and drive... BnDz sits in a typical suburban shopping complex near a trolley stop. Its exterior recalls Chipotle while its interiors and overall business model falls somewhere between Burgatory, D's Six Pax and Dogs, and Five Guys. Table service only occurs after patrons place their orders up at the register. Standard builds like the Chicago Dog or the BBQ Bacon 'n Buffalo Burger are there for the indecisive, but for the mad scientists there are the "Create Your Own Masterpiece" menu sheets on which patrons can check off the boxes and turn them in to an employee. Once that's done, one can pour a soft drink from the self-serve soda fountain, find an open table, and wait to be served. The cooking action happens in front of the counter in full view, which is where I wish I could have sat. A metal grill steams and flames while fresh, red, red, kroovy ground meat slaps the hot steel. Oil bubbles and growls once freshly cut fries are dropped into it. Drama unfolds once large takeout requests are phoned in. I decided to make my own monster using paper and pen: 8 ounces of Bison (!) cooked medium-rare (there is no other degree to cook a burger) dusted with garlic and sweet onion powder (yes, they do rubs), American cheese, chipotle aioli, leaf lettuce, tomato, red onion, bacon, and avocado on a white bun. This brings me to one minor complaint. My avocado was forgotten. The cashier/hostess will punch in your order as she looks at your specification sheet, which leaves a bit of room for human error. Might I suggest an automated scanner of some kind of like the machines that electronically grade standardized tests? That or the sheets could be have a carbon copy on the bottom so a hungry bugger like me can verify his order. Another thing to kvetch about: The (vinaigrette) cole slaw was a dud. I sampled Kay's and all I tasted was black pepper and dry cabbage. All of that was dismissed, however, once our burgers, dogs, and fries came to us in red plastic baskets via the jolly, beaming owner who seemed to know that we had ordered well. That bison patty was literally bleeding, and when I sank my canines into the burger, all I saw was crimson, sweet crimson -- a literally sweet crimson. I thought to myself, "God, how could such a massive, fierce beast taste so delicate and candy-like?" the squishy roll and saccharine fixings making it akin to cake, the blanket of exquisitely melted canary-colored cheese nearly dripping like a yellow ganache. A frank was also customized with honey mustard, onions, and a pickle spear after requesting it be deep-fried, filled with cheddar (a semi-dangerous dog) and placed within a poppyseed bun, my culinary cunning proving brilliant upon first bite. The Mound 'O Friez were shared by Kay and I, and Jesus, would Guy Fieri go berserk over this creation. Imagine if you will oh jaded eater some immaculately twice-cooked and properly seasoned "O"-worthy french fries topped with bacon bits, cheddar, AND good, simple, venerable, scratch-made Mac 'n Cheese. Imagine further. Imagine a real, al dente macaroni topped with a sharply flavorful bechamel sauce. If this was Cheez Whiz, I'll be stunned 'cause they did somethin' to it! The frites had that crisp-vs-fluffy quality we all want in our gold tater shards, the bacon adding fatty/briny goodness and chewy texture while the liquid cheddar rained orange, creamy luxury over the entire debauched party. BnDz also offers desserts, but Kay wanted to have some ice cream, and the nearest place was Bruster's, putting us onto Library Road for the journey home. Epilogue: As Kay drove up Washington Road with some out-of-towner friends of ours to the Mount Lebanon Primanti Brothers this evening, she noticed a familiar sight. "Darren! Look!" she called out. There is now a BnDz only minutes from us in Mount Lebanon. It did mention franchise opportunities on their website. The lady was not pleased with me for causing Friday night's unnecessary mileage. I still say it was worth the excursion, though. Ha. P.S. My mother makes an amazing cole slaw when she feels like doing so. Doug Baros should get in touch with her. He and his crew won't be able to make enough of it.

Always underwhelmed by the latest gourmet burger chains, and tired of spending a cow-load of cash at them, I was delighted to find this gem, and it's only a few minutes from my house (although I'd gladly drive an hour to get there). Owned by someone who clearly cares about the place (table touches every time we're there), this place offers the best burgers I've tasted anywhere in years. They've got an awesome menu of suggested burgers, but I prefer building my own. Their signature mayo is key. My husband goes for the bison burger, but I'm a cowgirl all the way. Topping off the meal are french fries with cheese that rival a certain Pittsburgh-area amusement park's. They're opening more locations soon, and apparently one with specialty milkshakes! I hope to see a lot more of BnD'z soon.

Easily my favorite burger place in Pittsburgh. It's reasonably priced and I always leave more than full. It's a nice casual atmosphere and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend stopping if you get the chance.

I went here for the first time recently and when I saw the menu, I was slightly overwhelmed with all the unique choices. And then I saw papers on the tables labeled "build your own burger" and the game was changed. Chipotle aioli, deep fried bacon stuffed hot dog, BISON BURGER?! The possibilities are delicious (and also endless). I couldn't decide between the macaroni and cheese topped hot dog and the bison burger, so I got both! I ended up not creating my own and just went with the menu options, and they did not disappoint. The bison was cooked perfectly to my request (which was medium rare) and topped with a flavorful tomato salsa and savory steakhouse cheddar cheese. Everything is organically fed and grown and antibiotic free. Think of it as the Chipotle of burger joints. I highly recommend!

My kids love the Mac and cheese.burger! Can't wait until they open in mt Lebanon, 1.5 weeks. The Mac and cheese is creamy and yummy, burgers cooked to order. Very friendly and easy going. Right by third blue line t stop. Desert Nachos? Why not :)

I ordered the Big Daddy Bison burger and it did NOT disappoint. Oh man, was it good. And the mound o' fries were shared amongst four of us and, although super fattening, a little bit of heaven won't kill you. I don't think I can put into words how delicious this place is. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Yum, yum yum! BnD'z is a cute little place in a small plaza in South Park. Not the easiest place to find. I met a friend at BnD'z for lunch on a recent Saturday late afternoon and her GPS took her to Brentwood. FYI this is not the most kid friendly place either. I wasn't able to find a high chair and the tables are close together. The idea is that you order at the counter (off the menu or build your own burger), get your drink at the fountain, find a table and wait for your meal to be brought out to you. The kitchen is mostly open. You can watch your meal being prepared behind the counter where you ordered and paid. There are a couple t.v.'s but you can't really hear much over the loud music. We both decided to order the chicken, bacon burger with cheese and a side of fries. We were given the choice of a plain, wheat or gluten free bun. Within about 5 minutes, our meal was delivered to our table. The chicken burger was exactly that. A burger or shredded, chopped chicken. Not a full chicken breast which is typical of other restaurants. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the chicken burger but it was actually very tasty. The fries were also cooked perfectly. Fresh cut, crispy, salty and soft in the middle. Overall, BnD'z is a great place to stop if you are in the area and in the mood for a great burger (beef, chicken or bison) and fries.

Let's just start by saying this aint' no Burgatory! Yet the prices are as if you we're getting the same quality, service and atmosphere. There is no waitstaff (except to deliver the food to your table) and when she did, she brought the fries out ten minutes before the burgers, that were just so/so. Finally, after spending more money than this food is worth, you have to clear your own table. We definatly will NOT be back.

Eric D.
The food is amazing. Best make your own burgers I have ever had. Fries are good, hot dogs are awesome. Service is typically good, awesome when Doug is there. The one time he wasn't there it was awkward and kind of uncomfortable. The girl at the register just stood there staring at everyone the whole time we ate. I'm sure you could find something to do while you have no customers. And the 2 cooks were talking about someone or something. Kept staring at a family then turning around laughing. They also screwed someone's order up. Just wasn't the same vibe without Doug. Still my go to burger place 40 minutes away. You will love the food.

BnD'z is another new addition to the upscale burgers in the area. Very casual atmosphere. If you are looking for a mouthwatering burger or dog made with fresh all natural grass fed, hormone free, antibiotic free beef and bison this is the place. BnD'z servers gluten-free buns, too. How it works: You can order from the specialty burgers or dogs (also a couple of salads) or : Create your own masterpiece! with the quick and easy tear-off menu. Check off your selection from: 1. Burgerz 'n Dogz The burger is 4 oz or get the 8 oz., or Bison or shredded chicken or Veggie. 2. Cooked to your taste. 3. Buns White, multigrain, pretzel, gluten free, tortilla wrap or no 4. Cheeses 9 types 5. Tis the Season 7 seasonings 6. Sauces 9 sauces 7. Free Toppings 12 or so toppings 8. Additional Toppings About 8 including slaw, fried egg, man 'n cheese, portabello, bacon... We had to take our order to the counter and then the kitchen brought our finished meal to our table. Was it good? Delicious and juicy! The manager or owner was walking around asking how we like our meal and stopping to explained that the beef is ground daily by a local butcher, has 4 differnt meats...sorry I forgot the 4 types but one is sirloin. The french fries were crisp, hot and salted. Very good, better than most. Some of the other tables had the dogs. The dogs looked dog gone good. The sign says BYOB and no fee. Dine in or take out. The burgers come in a basket. Mine was messy, with some of the peppers falling off. There were not any forks or spoons at the counter, not sure if they do have them but they may be needed. Had the 8 oz burger which is really 2, 4 oz burgers with one stacked on top of the other. The 2 stacked burgers were hard to eat because they keep sliding around and it was a big bite. But I managed.

great food! gluten free available, their burgers are ground fresh, use premium cuts from grass fed and antibiotic free beef. EVERYTHING is fresh and high quality, the owner is there everyday and very passionate about his business. the chili on the chili dogs is good enough to order separately order their fresh cut french fries. I highly recommend this place.

I was enticed to try the place with a $5 coupon on a $25 purchase, which was received in a discount mailer. The burgers and "mound o'fries" were delicious, though there should be a cardiologist on duty with the rich macaroni and cheese-topped fries. One knows that they are not going to receive healthy food here, however. For those that are willing to spend $10 for a hamburger in a spartan, small, crowded restaurant where the only service is provided by the individual that brings the food to the table, and where the "napkins" are paper towels that are in dispensers on the tables, this is for you. I asked the individual that took my order at the register for a glass of tap water, and she tossed me a cup. I was able to determine that there is a water tap in the iced tea machine. For me, there is more to an enjoyable restaurant experience than good food. This is not the place for me. For $10, I could have gone to marvelous All India of Oakland, had all of the delicious, well-prepared, and healthful food that I wanted, and been treated like a king by the owners: next time.

I purchased a Groupon to this establishment a little while back, so on a random Sunday the BF and I decided to give it a try. Overall, I have to say that i'm a fan of this place. The burgers were delicous and cooked perfectly. There were a few things that were a bit irritating, but it was new restaurant pains, that they're clearly trying to work through. Our Groupon was for two burgers and two fries. They have several burger combos on the menu, or you can build your own. We both opted to build our own and we were not dissappointed. The fries were massive. Next time we will definitely be splitting one. The staff was friendly and attentive. The man behind the register, I'm guessing he's the owner, was great. Super helpful and made sure that every customer enjoyed themself. The wait to actually get the food was a bit much, we waited 35 min to get the food. In their defense it was really busy, but still that's a long wait for a burger and fries. My only other complaint would be that I wish the space was bigger. You do feel packed in on top of ppl. I will definitely be back here. Despite the wait for food I would recommend this little joint. Can't wait to try to dogz next time! :)

Hats off to BnD'z owner Doug for a terrific concept and execution to match. Three months after opening, the place was jumping on a frigid Friday evening, 3/4 full with steady takeout traffic. Furnishings are spartan, but nobody's there for atmosphere: it's the food and the value that pack `em in. Still, $10 for a burger, almost in Finleyville? You bet, and well worth it, when it's a half-pound bison burger served fast & cooked exactly as ordered, on a sturdy multigrain bun with a choice of literally dozens of toppings, served with a bottomless fountain drink. I went with grilled onions, Dusseldorf mustard and chipotle aioli -- less is more on the extra-lean bison burger, Doug advised (and he was right). A basket of hand-cut fries were $2 extra, and on par with Kennywood's Potato Patch (if not *quite* Dirty-O-level sublime). Chased with an Arnold Palmer, it was the best $12 meal I've had in a long, long time -- and that's at the higher end of BnD'z price range. But burgers are only half the story, as the name implies. There's a big Vienna Beef banner out front, and genuine Chicago-style dogs await within, right down to the poppyseed rolls, sport peppers and celery salt. It's been years since I've had one of these beauties (at a hole-in-the-wall under the El), and I can't wait to go back to see if the BnD'z version is as good as the original. Nobody and nothing is perfect, though, and here are two minor critiques. First, the service model is a sort of fast-food/table-service hybrid, and it takes a few minutes to figure it out. No big deal though, since you'll need at least that long to decide what looks best on the menu. Also, I mentioned at the outset that we visited on a frigid night, and we were reminded of this every few minutes by a blast of cold air as customers came and went through the single door (no airlock/vestibule). But that's just nitpicking. Burgerz and Dogz offers a level of quality, value and adventurousness (ostrich and rattlesnake may be on the menu this summer) that might be common in Shadyside and Regent Square, but is practically unheard of in the far-flung south hills. Best part for East End foodies: it's a short (brisk) walk from the end-of-the-line Library T stop, so you can buy a transfer and make a cheap excursion out of it, rolling through the backyards of Castle Shannon and Bethel Park. Bonus: it's BYOB, too! Just try to avoid those sub-zero wind-chill factors.

BnD'z is great! It is nice to have a little place to go grab a burger that isn't like Fridays or Max & Ermas. Ordering is done on slips of paper, so you can customize your burger or dog however you'd like. It is a challenge though because there seem to be infinite combinations of meats and toppings. I tried the bison burger and it was amazing. The fries were also great. Overall, the service is fast, there are infinite options, the quality is incredible and the atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. Also, the owner is regularly on site and attentive, checking with customers to make sure they are pleased with the food and service.

Such a fun little place. Doug the owner was working and was really friendly. The 4oz burger was just the right size for me. I opted to build my own. Their fries were outstanding. Homemade, like my mother used to make. I had done yard work all day and we brought our own beer. It was a good ending to a good day. I'll be back
(5)
chris m.
let me start with the positives: the burgers are awesome and cooked fresh the fries are like fair fries and really good. they have gluten free bun as an option never had the dogz. the toppings are a great choice but dont waste your time with the seasonings bc you cant taste them (they have cajun seasoning etc to put on burger but never enough to make a difference in taste from what ive found in two times weve been there) the cons: even with only two tables filled on a sunday, two burgers with two fries took 30 minutes to get. when we went in there with a full house it took 50 min to get our food. the prices are kind of steep for a burger joint. 28 bucks for 2 burgers and two fries. we only go there if we have a groupon coupon people are nice but with these cons we will generally pick five guys burgers over these burgerz and dogz.

I was met as I entered the restaurant by a very friendly employee. He proceeded to ask if I'd been here before, and then explained how it all worked. This was very welcome and avoided the whole awkward moment of wandering around, wondering if you seat yourself, wait to be seated, or whatever. My husband and I then sat down and ordered our burgers and fries. All of the staff were great. The food was wonderful. The toppings were very fresh and plentiful. We will definitely visit here again and tell our friends about it.

Only ever went to Mt. Lebanon location, didn't know about South Park location. Unique food and sad to see closed. Mostly all staff was friendly, except one morning cashier. Overall friendly environment and cool to be able to sit and watch the cooks make your food. Will be trying South Park location.

My friend just moved into a new house and I went to see it. Soon it was dinner time and lo and behold this place was a hop, skip, and a jump away. I had been there before but my friend had not. I showed her the ordering tablets and she pulled off a page to fill out what she wanted. With your burger or dog you can get a side and drink for $3.50 extra. We both ordered hamburgers and fries but our hamburger toppings were completely different. I ordered Bleu Cheese dressing, Bleu Cheese crumbles, pickles, and lettuce. All on a pretzel bun. My friend picked honey mustard, mayo, American cheese, and mushrooms. All on a white bun. You have a choice of hamburger, bison, or chicken. We both chose regular hamburger. You can choose from 4 or 8 oz burger. We both ordered 4. Our burgers came to our table pretty quickly. The burgers and fries were hot. I felt like the pretzel bun overwhelmed my burger. I don't think I would order it again. The 4oz burger was small. I wish they offered a 6 oz burger. The burger was drowning in blue cheese dressing but had hardly any lettuce. I had asked for it to be cooked medium and it was. I ended up taking the top of the bun off an folding the bottom bun over the burger. That helped. The manager came by twice to see if we needed anything. I thought that was nice-especially since they were packed. I started to get very cold and couldn't figure out why . . . Until I went to the bathroom and saw that the back door was open. They were bringing in supplies. While the food was good I don't see myself rushing to go back.

The food is good, but I have two major complaints: 1. Why do the French fries taste so awful? They are hands down the worst French fries that I have ever eaten. How often is the fryer oil changed? Is the oil strained every morning before the fryer is turned on? 2. Some of the food safety and hygiene practices of the staff are alarming to put it mildly. I've witnessed a staff member drop tongs on the floor and then place them back on the counter to be used again. The manager looked at us and then quietly walked over to take the tongs into the kitchen. I've also seen employees wearing gloves touch their face and cell phone without replacing the gloves. I've worked in restaurants myself and these practices are disgusting and may put the health of customers at risk. If you drop utensils on the floor you CANNOT pick them up unless you wash you heads before cooking again!

We got a Groupon hoping to go to the one in Mt. Lebanon however when we got there last Friday night it was closed for good. Luckily I remembered they had another location and off we went to South Park. The location was not great and the restaurant wasn't the cleanliest. The staff was very friendly and our order came out quickly. We had a hard time spending the $20 Groupon which is a good thing as the prices were reasonable. I went with the Chicago dog and my date ordered the bacon wrapped and cheese stuffed dog. They were both good but no D's hotdogs & 6 packs. We also got a side of fries and a large dinner salad. The salad was tasty and had a nice amount of tomatoes, cucumber, onion and croutons. The fries were very greasy and not all the way cooked. Unfortunately, I probably will not go back.

Amazing food! Just tried it tonight on our way home from skiing. I had a Chicago Dog which was 100pct authentic! Neon green relish and sport peppers! The fries are amazing and they have malt vinegar on the tables which pairs beautifully! The cole slaw was very good and I saw but didn't try the chicken quesadilla which was literally grilled! Will definitely frequent seeing as it's on the way back from many places we visit outside the s hills!

I eat here often. I love it. Many say it is expensive but what isn't anymore? Perhaps a bit more than average but I believe it makes up for it. They have a nice variety of things to add. They make it any way you want. The bison burgers are great! Great staff too. Pretzel buns and gluten free buns are available for both burgers and dogs. The only suggestion I have is a turkey burger would be a VERY welcome addition. But their chicken burger is pretty good.

Burgers and Dogs is a very good restaurant. You can fill out your order on a piece of paper (there are tons of different options). There isn't too long of a wait for your food to come to you.

WHOA. This place really is as good as it gets! We've been looking for a place that has a good veggie burger and we found a place that has a GREAT veggie burger. Service was extremely friendly and fast. The food though, oh the food. Sweet potato fries were just right, macaroni and cheese was on point and they even have sweet tea. A few veggie options for the vegetarians out there so we'll totally be back.

"It's not THAT far away, " I told my harried Kay and we drove DEEP into the South Hills for the promise of good, gourmet burgers and macaroni and cheese french fries. "DARREN! WE'RE A FEW MILES FROM CANONSBURG!" she screamed as we passed such stalwarts of this suburb's dining scene as Dorido's, Gil's Cafe, and the South Hills Clubhouse. Dr. Auslander, our chiropractor, is to blame. The man (his folks own Weiner World!) has become a fan of my reviews after he found my write-up on his practice recently and mentioned to me that a new burger joint had opened in our sector of the metropolitan area. With burgers always on my brain, I convinced Kay to drive and drive and drive... BnDz sits in a typical suburban shopping complex near a trolley stop. Its exterior recalls Chipotle while its interiors and overall business model falls somewhere between Burgatory, D's Six Pax and Dogs, and Five Guys. Table service only occurs after patrons place their orders up at the register. Standard builds like the Chicago Dog or the BBQ Bacon 'n Buffalo Burger are there for the indecisive, but for the mad scientists there are the "Create Your Own Masterpiece" menu sheets on which patrons can check off the boxes and turn them in to an employee. Once that's done, one can pour a soft drink from the self-serve soda fountain, find an open table, and wait to be served. The cooking action happens in front of the counter in full view, which is where I wish I could have sat. A metal grill steams and flames while fresh, red, red, kroovy ground meat slaps the hot steel. Oil bubbles and growls once freshly cut fries are dropped into it. Drama unfolds once large takeout requests are phoned in. I decided to make my own monster using paper and pen: 8 ounces of Bison (!) cooked medium-rare (there is no other degree to cook a burger) dusted with garlic and sweet onion powder (yes, they do rubs), American cheese, chipotle aioli, leaf lettuce, tomato, red onion, bacon, and avocado on a white bun. This brings me to one minor complaint. My avocado was forgotten. The cashier/hostess will punch in your order as she looks at your specification sheet, which leaves a bit of room for human error. Might I suggest an automated scanner of some kind of like the machines that electronically grade standardized tests? That or the sheets could be have a carbon copy on the bottom so a hungry bugger like me can verify his order. Another thing to kvetch about: The (vinaigrette) cole slaw was a dud. I sampled Kay's and all I tasted was black pepper and dry cabbage. All of that was dismissed, however, once our burgers, dogs, and fries came to us in red plastic baskets via the jolly, beaming owner who seemed to know that we had ordered well. That bison patty was literally bleeding, and when I sank my canines into the burger, all I saw was crimson, sweet crimson -- a literally sweet crimson. I thought to myself, "God, how could such a massive, fierce beast taste so delicate and candy-like?" the squishy roll and saccharine fixings making it akin to cake, the blanket of exquisitely melted canary-colored cheese nearly dripping like a yellow ganache. A frank was also customized with honey mustard, onions, and a pickle spear after requesting it be deep-fried, filled with cheddar (a semi-dangerous dog) and placed within a poppyseed bun, my culinary cunning proving brilliant upon first bite. The Mound 'O Friez were shared by Kay and I, and Jesus, would Guy Fieri go berserk over this creation. Imagine if you will oh jaded eater some immaculately twice-cooked and properly seasoned "O"-worthy french fries topped with bacon bits, cheddar, AND good, simple, venerable, scratch-made Mac 'n Cheese. Imagine further. Imagine a real, al dente macaroni topped with a sharply flavorful bechamel sauce. If this was Cheez Whiz, I'll be stunned 'cause they did somethin' to it! The frites had that crisp-vs-fluffy quality we all want in our gold tater shards, the bacon adding fatty/briny goodness and chewy texture while the liquid cheddar rained orange, creamy luxury over the entire debauched party. BnDz also offers desserts, but Kay wanted to have some ice cream, and the nearest place was Bruster's, putting us onto Library Road for the journey home. Epilogue: As Kay drove up Washington Road with some out-of-towner friends of ours to the Mount Lebanon Primanti Brothers this evening, she noticed a familiar sight. "Darren! Look!" she called out. There is now a BnDz only minutes from us in Mount Lebanon. It did mention franchise opportunities on their website. The lady was not pleased with me for causing Friday night's unnecessary mileage. I still say it was worth the excursion, though. Ha. P.S. My mother makes an amazing cole slaw when she feels like doing so. Doug Baros should get in touch with her. He and his crew won't be able to make enough of it.

Always underwhelmed by the latest gourmet burger chains, and tired of spending a cow-load of cash at them, I was delighted to find this gem, and it's only a few minutes from my house (although I'd gladly drive an hour to get there). Owned by someone who clearly cares about the place (table touches every time we're there), this place offers the best burgers I've tasted anywhere in years. They've got an awesome menu of suggested burgers, but I prefer building my own. Their signature mayo is key. My husband goes for the bison burger, but I'm a cowgirl all the way. Topping off the meal are french fries with cheese that rival a certain Pittsburgh-area amusement park's. They're opening more locations soon, and apparently one with specialty milkshakes! I hope to see a lot more of BnD'z soon.

Easily my favorite burger place in Pittsburgh. It's reasonably priced and I always leave more than full. It's a nice casual atmosphere and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend stopping if you get the chance.

I went here for the first time recently and when I saw the menu, I was slightly overwhelmed with all the unique choices. And then I saw papers on the tables labeled "build your own burger" and the game was changed. Chipotle aioli, deep fried bacon stuffed hot dog, BISON BURGER?! The possibilities are delicious (and also endless). I couldn't decide between the macaroni and cheese topped hot dog and the bison burger, so I got both! I ended up not creating my own and just went with the menu options, and they did not disappoint. The bison was cooked perfectly to my request (which was medium rare) and topped with a flavorful tomato salsa and savory steakhouse cheddar cheese. Everything is organically fed and grown and antibiotic free. Think of it as the Chipotle of burger joints. I highly recommend!

My kids love the Mac and cheese.burger! Can't wait until they open in mt Lebanon, 1.5 weeks. The Mac and cheese is creamy and yummy, burgers cooked to order. Very friendly and easy going. Right by third blue line t stop. Desert Nachos? Why not :)
(5)A Ly M.
I ordered the Big Daddy Bison burger and it did NOT disappoint. Oh man, was it good. And the mound o' fries were shared amongst four of us and, although super fattening, a little bit of heaven won't kill you. I don't think I can put into words how delicious this place is. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Yum, yum yum! BnD'z is a cute little place in a small plaza in South Park. Not the easiest place to find. I met a friend at BnD'z for lunch on a recent Saturday late afternoon and her GPS took her to Brentwood. FYI this is not the most kid friendly place either. I wasn't able to find a high chair and the tables are close together. The idea is that you order at the counter (off the menu or build your own burger), get your drink at the fountain, find a table and wait for your meal to be brought out to you. The kitchen is mostly open. You can watch your meal being prepared behind the counter where you ordered and paid. There are a couple t.v.'s but you can't really hear much over the loud music. We both decided to order the chicken, bacon burger with cheese and a side of fries. We were given the choice of a plain, wheat or gluten free bun. Within about 5 minutes, our meal was delivered to our table. The chicken burger was exactly that. A burger or shredded, chopped chicken. Not a full chicken breast which is typical of other restaurants. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the chicken burger but it was actually very tasty. The fries were also cooked perfectly. Fresh cut, crispy, salty and soft in the middle. Overall, BnD'z is a great place to stop if you are in the area and in the mood for a great burger (beef, chicken or bison) and fries.

Awesome sweet potato fries!!!! Try the bison w/chipotle aioli!!! Great staff!!!!
(5)Devon A.
Seemed pretty good. I got the bacon wrapped cheese dog since I had to eat in the car. It's no as awesome as Ted's Hot Dogs home in AZ, but it was pretty damn tasty. I wish the drink cups were larger.
(4)Shanna S.
Let's just start by saying this aint' no Burgatory! Yet the prices are as if you we're getting the same quality, service and atmosphere. There is no waitstaff (except to deliver the food to your table) and when she did, she brought the fries out ten minutes before the burgers, that were just so/so. Finally, after spending more money than this food is worth, you have to clear your own table. We definatly will NOT be back.
(2)Eric D.
The food is amazing. Best make your own burgers I have ever had. Fries are good, hot dogs are awesome. Service is typically good, awesome when Doug is there. The one time he wasn't there it was awkward and kind of uncomfortable. The girl at the register just stood there staring at everyone the whole time we ate. I'm sure you could find something to do while you have no customers. And the 2 cooks were talking about someone or something. Kept staring at a family then turning around laughing. They also screwed someone's order up. Just wasn't the same vibe without Doug. Still my go to burger place 40 minutes away. You will love the food.

BnD'z is another new addition to the upscale burgers in the area. Very casual atmosphere. If you are looking for a mouthwatering burger or dog made with fresh all natural grass fed, hormone free, antibiotic free beef and bison this is the place. BnD'z servers gluten-free buns, too. How it works: You can order from the specialty burgers or dogs (also a couple of salads) or : Create your own masterpiece! with the quick and easy tear-off menu. Check off your selection from: 1. Burgerz 'n Dogz The burger is 4 oz or get the 8 oz., or Bison or shredded chicken or Veggie. 2. Cooked to your taste. 3. Buns White, multigrain, pretzel, gluten free, tortilla wrap or no 4. Cheeses 9 types 5. Tis the Season 7 seasonings 6. Sauces 9 sauces 7. Free Toppings 12 or so toppings 8. Additional Toppings About 8 including slaw, fried egg, man 'n cheese, portabello, bacon... We had to take our order to the counter and then the kitchen brought our finished meal to our table. Was it good? Delicious and juicy! The manager or owner was walking around asking how we like our meal and stopping to explained that the beef is ground daily by a local butcher, has 4 differnt meats...sorry I forgot the 4 types but one is sirloin. The french fries were crisp, hot and salted. Very good, better than most. Some of the other tables had the dogs. The dogs looked dog gone good. The sign says BYOB and no fee. Dine in or take out. The burgers come in a basket. Mine was messy, with some of the peppers falling off. There were not any forks or spoons at the counter, not sure if they do have them but they may be needed. Had the 8 oz burger which is really 2, 4 oz burgers with one stacked on top of the other. The 2 stacked burgers were hard to eat because they keep sliding around and it was a big bite. But I managed.
(4)Todd M.
great food! gluten free available, their burgers are ground fresh, use premium cuts from grass fed and antibiotic free beef. EVERYTHING is fresh and high quality, the owner is there everyday and very passionate about his business. the chili on the chili dogs is good enough to order separately order their fresh cut french fries. I highly recommend this place.

I was enticed to try the place with a $5 coupon on a $25 purchase, which was received in a discount mailer. The burgers and "mound o'fries" were delicious, though there should be a cardiologist on duty with the rich macaroni and cheese-topped fries. One knows that they are not going to receive healthy food here, however. For those that are willing to spend $10 for a hamburger in a spartan, small, crowded restaurant where the only service is provided by the individual that brings the food to the table, and where the "napkins" are paper towels that are in dispensers on the tables, this is for you. I asked the individual that took my order at the register for a glass of tap water, and she tossed me a cup. I was able to determine that there is a water tap in the iced tea machine. For me, there is more to an enjoyable restaurant experience than good food. This is not the place for me. For $10, I could have gone to marvelous All India of Oakland, had all of the delicious, well-prepared, and healthful food that I wanted, and been treated like a king by the owners: next time.

One of my favorite places to grab a burger with the kids. My daughter loves the Mac and cheese. I love the buffalo burger and the sweet potato fries
(5)Rachel B.
I purchased a Groupon to this establishment a little while back, so on a random Sunday the BF and I decided to give it a try. Overall, I have to say that i'm a fan of this place. The burgers were delicous and cooked perfectly. There were a few things that were a bit irritating, but it was new restaurant pains, that they're clearly trying to work through. Our Groupon was for two burgers and two fries. They have several burger combos on the menu, or you can build your own. We both opted to build our own and we were not dissappointed. The fries were massive. Next time we will definitely be splitting one. The staff was friendly and attentive. The man behind the register, I'm guessing he's the owner, was great. Super helpful and made sure that every customer enjoyed themself. The wait to actually get the food was a bit much, we waited 35 min to get the food. In their defense it was really busy, but still that's a long wait for a burger and fries. My only other complaint would be that I wish the space was bigger. You do feel packed in on top of ppl. I will definitely be back here. Despite the wait for food I would recommend this little joint. Can't wait to try to dogz next time! :)
(4)Brandon W.
Decent burgers for sure about the same quality as Five Guys but since I prefer the Five Guys fries to the BnD fries I would have to say Five Guys is a little better
(3)Nichole K.
Pros: various choices to put on burger/dog large amount of fries free refills on drink BYOB Cons: burgers are just ok too expensive
(3)Edward M.
This place is great. Simple food prepared exceptionally well. Fresh ingredients, hormone-free, grass fed beef makes for awesome burgers. Fresh cut fries. Plus BYOB! Will definitely be back.
(5)Ken M.
Hats off to BnD'z owner Doug for a terrific concept and execution to match. Three months after opening, the place was jumping on a frigid Friday evening, 3/4 full with steady takeout traffic. Furnishings are spartan, but nobody's there for atmosphere: it's the food and the value that pack `em in. Still, $10 for a burger, almost in Finleyville? You bet, and well worth it, when it's a half-pound bison burger served fast & cooked exactly as ordered, on a sturdy multigrain bun with a choice of literally dozens of toppings, served with a bottomless fountain drink. I went with grilled onions, Dusseldorf mustard and chipotle aioli -- less is more on the extra-lean bison burger, Doug advised (and he was right). A basket of hand-cut fries were $2 extra, and on par with Kennywood's Potato Patch (if not *quite* Dirty-O-level sublime). Chased with an Arnold Palmer, it was the best $12 meal I've had in a long, long time -- and that's at the higher end of BnD'z price range. But burgers are only half the story, as the name implies. There's a big Vienna Beef banner out front, and genuine Chicago-style dogs await within, right down to the poppyseed rolls, sport peppers and celery salt. It's been years since I've had one of these beauties (at a hole-in-the-wall under the El), and I can't wait to go back to see if the BnD'z version is as good as the original. Nobody and nothing is perfect, though, and here are two minor critiques. First, the service model is a sort of fast-food/table-service hybrid, and it takes a few minutes to figure it out. No big deal though, since you'll need at least that long to decide what looks best on the menu. Also, I mentioned at the outset that we visited on a frigid night, and we were reminded of this every few minutes by a blast of cold air as customers came and went through the single door (no airlock/vestibule). But that's just nitpicking. Burgerz and Dogz offers a level of quality, value and adventurousness (ostrich and rattlesnake may be on the menu this summer) that might be common in Shadyside and Regent Square, but is practically unheard of in the far-flung south hills. Best part for East End foodies: it's a short (brisk) walk from the end-of-the-line Library T stop, so you can buy a transfer and make a cheap excursion out of it, rolling through the backyards of Castle Shannon and Bethel Park. Bonus: it's BYOB, too! Just try to avoid those sub-zero wind-chill factors.
(5)Jason H.
BnD'z is great! It is nice to have a little place to go grab a burger that isn't like Fridays or Max & Ermas. Ordering is done on slips of paper, so you can customize your burger or dog however you'd like. It is a challenge though because there seem to be infinite combinations of meats and toppings. I tried the bison burger and it was amazing. The fries were also great. Overall, the service is fast, there are infinite options, the quality is incredible and the atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. Also, the owner is regularly on site and attentive, checking with customers to make sure they are pleased with the food and service.
(5)Rose L.
Such a fun little place. Doug the owner was working and was really friendly. The 4oz burger was just the right size for me. I opted to build my own. Their fries were outstanding. Homemade, like my mother used to make. I had done yard work all day and we brought our own beer. It was a good ending to a good day. I'll be back
(5)chris m.
let me start with the positives: the burgers are awesome and cooked fresh the fries are like fair fries and really good. they have gluten free bun as an option never had the dogz. the toppings are a great choice but dont waste your time with the seasonings bc you cant taste them (they have cajun seasoning etc to put on burger but never enough to make a difference in taste from what ive found in two times weve been there) the cons: even with only two tables filled on a sunday, two burgers with two fries took 30 minutes to get. when we went in there with a full house it took 50 min to get our food. the prices are kind of steep for a burger joint. 28 bucks for 2 burgers and two fries. we only go there if we have a groupon coupon people are nice but with these cons we will generally pick five guys burgers over these burgerz and dogz.
(3)Jenn L.
Fantastic! Excellent customer service, fast, clean, and the food is definitely made of quality ingredients! Delicious! I will definitely be back again!
(5)Eve M.
I was met as I entered the restaurant by a very friendly employee. He proceeded to ask if I'd been here before, and then explained how it all worked. This was very welcome and avoided the whole awkward moment of wandering around, wondering if you seat yourself, wait to be seated, or whatever. My husband and I then sat down and ordered our burgers and fries. All of the staff were great. The food was wonderful. The toppings were very fresh and plentiful. We will definitely visit here again and tell our friends about it.
(5)Joan K.
Only ever went to Mt. Lebanon location, didn't know about South Park location. Unique food and sad to see closed. Mostly all staff was friendly, except one morning cashier. Overall friendly environment and cool to be able to sit and watch the cooks make your food. Will be trying South Park location.
(3)Henry E.
Great food and reasonably priced with great service. The restaurant is very clean. My wife even likes the burgers and she does not like animal products.

My friend just moved into a new house and I went to see it. Soon it was dinner time and lo and behold this place was a hop, skip, and a jump away. I had been there before but my friend had not. I showed her the ordering tablets and she pulled off a page to fill out what she wanted. With your burger or dog you can get a side and drink for $3.50 extra. We both ordered hamburgers and fries but our hamburger toppings were completely different. I ordered Bleu Cheese dressing, Bleu Cheese crumbles, pickles, and lettuce. All on a pretzel bun. My friend picked honey mustard, mayo, American cheese, and mushrooms. All on a white bun. You have a choice of hamburger, bison, or chicken. We both chose regular hamburger. You can choose from 4 or 8 oz burger. We both ordered 4. Our burgers came to our table pretty quickly. The burgers and fries were hot. I felt like the pretzel bun overwhelmed my burger. I don't think I would order it again. The 4oz burger was small. I wish they offered a 6 oz burger. The burger was drowning in blue cheese dressing but had hardly any lettuce. I had asked for it to be cooked medium and it was. I ended up taking the top of the bun off an folding the bottom bun over the burger. That helped. The manager came by twice to see if we needed anything. I thought that was nice-especially since they were packed. I started to get very cold and couldn't figure out why . . . Until I went to the bathroom and saw that the back door was open. They were bringing in supplies. While the food was good I don't see myself rushing to go back.
(3)D. M.
The food is good, but I have two major complaints: 1. Why do the French fries taste so awful? They are hands down the worst French fries that I have ever eaten. How often is the fryer oil changed? Is the oil strained every morning before the fryer is turned on? 2. Some of the food safety and hygiene practices of the staff are alarming to put it mildly. I've witnessed a staff member drop tongs on the floor and then place them back on the counter to be used again. The manager looked at us and then quietly walked over to take the tongs into the kitchen. I've also seen employees wearing gloves touch their face and cell phone without replacing the gloves. I've worked in restaurants myself and these practices are disgusting and may put the health of customers at risk. If you drop utensils on the floor you CANNOT pick them up unless you wash you heads before cooking again!

We got a Groupon hoping to go to the one in Mt. Lebanon however when we got there last Friday night it was closed for good. Luckily I remembered they had another location and off we went to South Park. The location was not great and the restaurant wasn't the cleanliest. The staff was very friendly and our order came out quickly. We had a hard time spending the $20 Groupon which is a good thing as the prices were reasonable. I went with the Chicago dog and my date ordered the bacon wrapped and cheese stuffed dog. They were both good but no D's hotdogs & 6 packs. We also got a side of fries and a large dinner salad. The salad was tasty and had a nice amount of tomatoes, cucumber, onion and croutons. The fries were very greasy and not all the way cooked. Unfortunately, I probably will not go back.
