It's a head-to-head battle as Patch voters tell us what restaurant is best at starting things off.
So maybe it's not ladylike for little finger foods to cage-fight each other to see who's the best, but sometimes a crab puff just wants to feel strong and powerful. That's why we're staging this food fight between our nominees for best appetizers in Cranberry. In the running are Houlihans, BRGR and Siba. We sincerely hope nobody stoops to using cocktail skewers as weapons. Sharpen your voting pointers now, and vote.

New restaurant is in Cranberry Mall.
Overview: BRGR is a new burger restaurant in the lower level of the Cranberry Mall at Route 19 and Freedom Road. BRGR is known for its gourmet burgers and fun milkshake flavors – with and without alcohol. Decor: BRGR is a contemporary bar/restaurant. The bar is smack dab in the middle of the restaurant, with big TVs overhead on four sides. There are tables with couches, booths and regular tables, and on warm nights, the garage-door-style windows open so folks can sit on the outdoor patio. We were there on a Friday night and had a 10-minute wait, but it looked like we timed it right because others were waiting before us and looked a bit impatient. We got there about 8. It is noisy there – if you want a quiet, romantic night out, you are …

These aren't your father's burgers ... or your mother's.
There are people who have fun in the kitchen. Then there are people who have fun in Brian Pekarcik’s kitchen. Having a good time in that kitchen might mean adding a new dish to one of Pekarcik’s highly inventive burger menus. “A lot of burgers we currently have on the menu are burgers the cooks in the kitchen just kind of had fun messing around with and putting together,” Pekarcik said. Look for a few of those whimsical burger concepts -- including The Button Buster, a patty topped with braised short ribs, onion rings, white cheddar and béarnaise aioli -- among the mouthwatering, scale-tipping, don’t-wear-your-skinny-jeans items on the menu when BRGR opens in this month in Cranberry. The gourmet burger joint's tentatively is set to open …

I like BRGR, even though I've never had a burger there because I don't eat them. But they have other things on the menu that are good; great salads with chicken added. But my favorite is the pickle fries! so good! more ›
