I'm having a hard time deciding whether to give it a 2 or a 3. I gave Stack'd a 4, and Stack'd is tied for my favorite place around Walnut Street (I only give 5's to fancy places with food that I'll never forget). So I really don't feel like giving this place only one point below Stack'd.\n\nI went to Stack'd yesterday for the Tuesday burger special and they had these fliers that said The Ave has Wednesday burger specials, so I thought I'd try it out. It's 3.5 dollars for a burger and a bunch of fries. That's awesome, right?\n\nTurns out, I'm having a very hard time believing that this place has the same owner as Stack'd. Stack'd makes great burgers, and considering that they're only 3 dollars on Tuesdays, it's really awesome. Burgers here are totally different, they taste completely different and overly salty. Also, I just realized today that yes, people can mess up fries.\n\nSo in terms of food quality, it's really meh. But maybe it's just this one burger and fries that they don't do well.\n\nMost of the reviews here are talking about cheesesteaks, but they deleted that from the menu completely. They switched from making custom cheesesteaks to burgers and sandwiches some time ago because as they said, their cheesesteaks weren't selling that good. I've never got a chance to get their cheesesteaks, but I really feel that it was a bad choice. Pittsburgh doesn't have a lot of cheesesteak places, and there definitely ain't any good places around. They would have easily created a monopoly if they just waited some time for the reputation to start spreading.\n\nAlso, I had a very long wait for my burger today. This place is half empty, even on its half price burger night. I really didn't have a lot of competition in waiting for my food, but it took around 40 minutes. Usually Stack'd takes less than 10 minutes when there are this many people in the bar. This is almost the waiting time for Stack'd at its Tuesday peak.\n\nI'm only debating giving this place a 3 because I like the atmosphere (which is pretty much a duplicate of Stack'd). They have TVs everywhere possible and that's awesome. I love watching 5 sports shows at once, but I don't think I'll be back, even on Wednesdays.
