The Sharp Edge Brasserie

We were looking for a place for dinner, halfway between my daughters and my own home. The Sharp Edge was recommended, so six of us had dinner there. We were not disappointed. Happy Hour prices were fabulous! The waitress was super efficient and made sure we were aware of Happy hour ending, so we could get in our last drink orders. The burgers, for the most part, were awesome. (the only one we had complaints about was the Piggy Bac, which tasted like ground hot dogs) I would imagine they would have taken it back, had we mentioned that at the time. Fortunately the burgers were large enough that we had plenty to share, and bring some home too. Although they were pricey burgers (15.00), we enjoyed our meal, the wait staff and our evening. Oh, the pudding is HUGE and with 6 spoons, we even left some of that! Delicious!

We had some time before we needed to work an event, so we wanted to grab a quick drink and bite to eat. My friend had been to other Sharp Edge locations and said it was great and it was close to our work location. So we sat at the bar for faster service. That was our first mistake. The service was incredibly slow.
We only ordered provolone wedges and onion soup and it took forever to come out. I would have been fine with that if my provolone wedges were handmade to order. However, they were disgusting and came right out of a box in the freezer AND WERE $ 7.50. Give me a break! Unfortunately I did eat these and did not ask to speak to a manager or get anything else because we were already pushing it with the time we had to be at work.
I may recommend this place to anyone that likes beer, but would advise not to order food.

Stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon for a bite for lunch since we were in the area. First time visitors so we didn’t know what to expect. Glad we did — around 50 beers on tap, Pens game was just coming on, we had a BOGO coupon,…life couldn’t get any better. We each had a burger — she had the Belgian, a super flavorful lamb burger (done medium well), while I had the Piggy Bac — a mix of ground infused bacon. Both were delish! We had asked our server who happened to be the bartender as well — [I think her name was Megan (covered in tats)] — if they could cut each burger in half so we could share. They did so, and served them with a half on each plate — how accommodating! The burgers came «naked» with just what was mentioned on the menu on them. We thought this was a little odd,…then they brought out the fresh condiments on a separate cold plate so they wouldn’t get soggy. Mine came with some fresh cut fries — eat these quick or they’ll start to wilt. My «date» swapped out her fires for a cup of the red pepper bisque — that was a really good decision.
For the beer, we decided to go with the $ 15 taster rack; four 5.5 oz glasses of any draft you want. Not a bad one in the bunch. Once delivered, Megan (who was also super knowledgeable about the beer) recommended going from the light to dark so as to not screw up our palates; the ice water helped cleanse them as well. They also have a «mystery brew» — $ 4.50 for a mason jar of a mystery beer. Maybe next time.
All in all, a good day. After the BOGO and the tip, about $ 40 considering that $ 15 was for beer. Big question — would I go back? ABSOLUTLEY! More to try on both menus.

Been here a few times. The past couple times, the service had a lot to be desired. This time they have totally redeemed themselves! I’m a long time diner here because I love their food and beer selection. The wing bites are amazing as well as the sweet potato fries. Service this time was excellent!

Nope, I will never dine here again. Maybe sit at the bar for the Tripel Karmeliet and other great beer on tap, but the rest of this place is weird.

How have I missed this place for happy hour? Great service, good food in an upbeat, friendly atmosphere. Happy hour was fun and the bar was hoppin’! I had a Fishhead punkin beer, (what even is that?), and Belgium onion soup. It came out hot and savory! I’ll definitely be back, maybe even next Friday. Chicken avocado burger looks pretty tasty. Wonder what beer would go with that?

Ordered the Philly cheese fries…
Very bad. My wife and took three bites and almost got sick.

Good looking bar and big restaurant. It’s of the food was ok but my turkey burger came out undercooked my sons cheeseburger was undercooked too when we asked it for it to be well done. Guess you should ask them to cook your poultry meal past 170 degrees and order your burger extra well done for well done? Probably just one inexperienced cook this day. Again, great bar and beer selection.

We live in walking distance, tip well, love Belgian beer, and have been trying for 3 years to be a fan of this location. I have never written a bad revue, and never (having waited my share of tables) once complained in 15 years of regularly going out to eat. I didn’t complain about this place when I found a soggy napkin in my salad! I complained today. When you walk in the door knowing what simple order you want, and eat 45 minutes later, (again), and get nickel and dimed on the check (seriously charged us for 1. a side of BBQ that had always come free with the kids meal before 2. A kid drink refill 3. Celery (fine I can live with the celery charge), and I would have cared about none of that, except we were forgotten (again) when seated, forgot about our food order, and finally when I, a regular, non complaining, $ 80 tab + $ 20 tip customer finally said — you know this wasn’t very good tonight… my check was reduced 50 cents. I give up. You stink Sharp Edge McMurray.

This place has great burgers and great beers. The food is always fresh, not the fast food garbage or stuff you get from chain restaurants. I’ve tried the Belgian, bison, shrimp and Turkey burgers here. All to perfection. It’s also kid friendly because they have homemade chicken bites. We’ve had the pizza as well and it’s average. Service is always on point. There’s also never a wait; not because the food isn’t good though but because of the location. If a friend hadn’t told me about the mcmurray sharp edge I wouldn’t have known it was there. Hopefully they don’t close because the food is good and they had a back room to accommodate large parties. When family was in town we came here for dinner. Everyone was happy in our party of 18. I’ve not tried the desserts yet… Too full from the meal

I have been an intermittent customer of this place for at least the past 5 years. The beer selection is good. The service is «iffy», and the food is less than what one would expect for the prices. If you are on a liquid diet, this is the place to be! Hopefully they can get their cooks to prepare the food to taste the way they describe it on the menu. I only visit there because I know at least the beer is good!

So I am a out of towner, referred by my coworkers. I had the Belgian Burger and sweet potato fries. all I can say is «Yummy»

A group of us stopped in after a basketball game. There were 9 of us in total. The place did not seem very busy though they implied it was. There were tables open every where. The hostess seated our group in an empty dining room which none of us liked. Server took 10 min to visit the table and 25 min to get drinks to the table. As we proceeded to order the server told us about what was not available from the menu, in this case seemed like ½ menu. This is third visit in a row over 3 months were we visited this place to be told mussels were not available even though it is their signature dish. We tried ordering a few other dishes. When told they were not available we paid for drinks and left for Pizzaz down the street. Third horrible experience at Sharpe Edge in a row will not bother again. Shame we eat out 2 – 3 times per week but the place not managed well.

I do have love for the Sharp Edge restaurants & my friend had never been, so I suggested we meet there. If you like/​love beer — definitely a place to check out!
Kudos to our waitress for bringing over a taster of the Deschutes Chainbreaker IPA when I told her I loved Sam Adams Cold Snap (ugh, why does that have to be seasonal?!). Chainbreaker was pretty damn good & I went with a pint.
Foodwise I was seriously horrified that they took their beer cheese off their appetizer menu «about a year ago» according to our server — seriously one of THE best things from their menu, hence the lowering of stars — don’t change things that work!
We both went with Buffalo Bites & the fresh cut fries, which paired well with the IPA. Yum. We shared the raspberry cheesecake for dessert, which was also very tasty. Overall, a great lunch, but the menu redo? Very disappointing.

Was at this location tonight. Horrible!!! Sat at the bar from 7:35 — 7:50 and not one person was working behind it. Got up and left after the bartender came out and chatted up the people next to me. Bar had maybe 7 people out of the 20 stools. Crazy!
Wish I could say this is unusual but it’s very frequent here. Generally good bartenders and beer but horrible management!!!

This is one of my boyfriend’s favorite places to go to catch a steeler’s or pens game. Typically we sit at the bar-​always decent service. I can now say I’ve tried every variety of mussels they have (mussels from Brussels, over the edge, basil and wine with garlic, and spicy sriracha). My favorite is the first one I tried there, the mussels from Brussels. The Sriracha is a little spicy for my taste but this last time the server offered bread for dipping and I’ll say that was the best sauce for dipping with bread. I’ve also had the buffalo bites in the jerk BBQ sauce and it was perfect-​not too spicy, just enough flavor… these were nice boneless wings. I’ve also had the same variety of sauce with bone-​in wings and I personally prefer the boneless-​less messy obviously. I still want to try some of the sandwiches and maybe the french onion soup so I’ll have to update again once I do that.

Great beer selection, not so great food! I wouldn’t bother eating here, but if you’re interested in trying new beers, this is your place.

Great service with an extensive beer selection and good pub fare. Pretty good combination, if you ask me. Plus, they have extra specials during Penguins and Pirates games, which offers some decent promotional discounts.
This place was crowded when we arrived, yet we were seated quickly and were well-​attended to throughout our meal.
Not sure why this place has such negative reviews, as I’d recommend it if you’re looking for pub food and beer and are in the area.
3.5 Stars… but giving it 3, since there’s no half rating and it’s not really worthy of 4. Cheers!

The servers are very knowledgeable about the beers available. The Flemish onion soup is a fan favorite. This place is much bigger than it appears outside. There is also a really cool beer room at the entrance of the brasserie that makes a great introduction to the wonderful world of beer tasting. Just be careful… if you’re a coors light drinker… this may not be the place for you.

Amazing beer selection, great happy hour specials, delicious burgers and other menu items. Great for happy hour or to watch whatever sporting event is on TV. Service could be better, but it’s not awful. This is my go-​to place if I’m craving a beer and a burger.
