The Burger Place is a collaboration between Short Story Brewing and Lefty's Place, bringing together craft beer and gourmet burgers along the bank of the Monongahela River.



Their burgers use a 1/3-pound patty made from a blend of brisket, short rib, and chuck, provided by the Village Butcher.



One of their signature burgers is the Sonny Burger, a tribute to the co-owner’s grandfather. It’s topped with: American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion, bread-and-butter pickles and “Sonny Sauce” (their special sauce).



A well-seasoned patty anchors the build, its richness cut by the clean crunch of lettuce, tomato, and onion. The American cheese melts into the meat just enough to add cohesion, while the bread-and-butter pickles introduce a subtle sweetness that pairs neatly with the house Sonny Sauce. Taken with a side of crisp, lightly salted tater tots, the meal feels classic.
