Mario's Oakland Saloon — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

• A very important thing to know is that they charge 3.5% for any / all non-cash transactions. This is not a tip to the staff. *

Went there to grab a bite, ordered a burger with fries. The burger was almost average, the patty had no flavor other than dry meat, if it wasn't for the toppings it wouldn't have had any. The "Bacon" on the burger wasn't crispy, and very very chewy. It was about the only thing on the burger with flavor. Fries were crispy but not warm.

Only one low top available which we didn’t mind, but more options would be nice. There’s not much space in the building anyway.
