I wouldn't call it divey or under the radar necessarily, but if your really looking for a hipster/nerd spot and you hate your arteries, go to Back to the Foodture.

Love Noxs, but they crammed too many tables in there recently

Not divey but best burger by far can be found at Applewood Smoke, which is tucked into the back of the Park Place bar on Bryant St in Highland Park. Best burgers and onion rings in this city.

Yes! Just went there last week wings are awesome as well

Stinky's. Although smack dab in the middle of "hipster" Lawrenceville, Stinky's has some really good burgers and is off the beaten path. Might be a little too nice to be considered "divey, but is definitely casual. Sit in the back / restaurant side.

Tammy's in Mt Troy. It's a smoking bar but the burgers are still so good.

Dad's Pub & Grub. Great burger but frankly all of their food is phenominal.

Big Jim’s in the Run! We went there the other weekend for the first time and had so much fun. The food was surprisingly delicious.

And this is your recomendation?!
Jonny_Thundergun t1_j1wbf5f wrote
Imma be honest. I only read the title. Not the additional text.
It's a damn good burger though. If that's what you're looking for, then Sidelines around the corner from there.
CARLEtheCamry t1_j1wbsgd wrote
Fair enough, it just got a rise out of me.
I was going to recommend Five Guys, but others seem to have better non-chain suggestions.

I wonder if this is the the same place where I went for burgers when I was in high school with my friend who lived on Troy Hill. I can’t remember what it was called.

Everything I've gotten there has been great. You can tell a lot of it (like the hot sauce on their wings) is scratch-made.

For burgers, how about The Blue Goose Saloon on Mt. Royal Blvd. Half pound steakburgers, good drink specials just about every night, and we always get tots as a side.
But just down the hill in Etna is E Town, which has amazing fried food. Scratch made chicken tenders and provolone sticks.
Or just over the hill from there is Sidelines, which also has great burgers and a really good beer selection (and tots!)

Delucas in the strip or robinson twp. Both are solid, but theyre only open for breakfast and lunch. I usually get a cheeseburger with bacon and a fried egg.

Because Tesaro's really isn't a dive. Also, while the burgers are still good, they're popularity trades on a bit of hype/nostalgia.

Kelly's in East Liberty is divey, though not necessarily under the radar. It also has a good burger (and Mac and cheese).

I forget their burger special, but i love going there for Wednesday Wings baby! It gets PACKED. I love the Carriage's Spicy Bison Burger. It's about the only restaurant in Elizabeth though, nothing else seems to last or be too good
I'll occasionally go to the Rose or Droopy's but the Carriage is def Elizabeth's safest, best bet

If you are in the north, new york hotdog shop is killer. Very reasonably priced (compared to similar places like eat n park) https://goo.gl/maps/XAjbv795xXjepor3A
Brighton Hotdog Shop in greentree is similar, but it feels more like fast food with how the restaurant is set up. Similar prices, smaller menu https://goo.gl/maps/E4MoaUU87EioefQU8

It's not under the radar, but Tessaro's in Bloomfield is a great place for burgers. It's also not a hipster joint or at all pretentious (and not even unpretentious in a pretentious way).

came here to say this. will add that it went nonsmoking. best burger and fries for ten bucks.
Tenthcarrot t1_j1zi4qp wrote
they steam their burgers. best burger I've had in years. pro move: let your burger drip all over the chips before you eat the chips.
