Closed for dine in and take out until the second week of March, 2018. Still open for catering, year-round. The owner answers his phone, even though his dining room is closed - and saved us a disappointing trip, by doing so. 5 stars for customer service, for thinking ahead like that!
Great service and great food! I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious! I don't even like coleslaw which the sandwich had but it was just the right amount to give it a little crunch. I got the mac n cheese as a side which was the BEST mac n cheese I've ever had at a bbq restaurant. Don't miss that!
Great tasting bbq! Good service and ready to go! Off the beaten path cool storefront.
I was in town for a few days and this place was very convenient because it is directly behind the hotel. Well the food was great but the only thing I would complain about is the food lacked flavor. I know these days most cooks don't put a lot of salt in their food. But, a little will go a long way. The corn bread was on point though. It was so moist and tasty. The best I have ever had.
2 star reduction due to service. Food is fantastic but we ordered 11lbs of pulled pork for a surprise party and when we showed up at the time we agreed for pick up, they had no recollection of our order and it wasnt ready. We had email confirmation of the order with all the details and they were not prepared. This was for a surprise party so timing of everything was crucial and this threw off our entire day. They also werent concerned they messed up and didnt sense our frustration that we spent $185 for meat that wasnt ready. My advice is to make sure you call ahead the day of pickup and confirm the order to avoid the unccessary frustrstion we experienced.
The staff was extremely friendly, the pulled pork was excellent and the mac and cheese was really good.
The bbq half chickens are amazing! Not to mention the brisket,pulled pork. Sides are okay. The beans are best option with the cornbread
I drop in here every time I have an excuse to. Their combos are good enough for two meals (or one if you really want to love/hate yourself afterwards.) Everything is absolutely delicious, and everyone who works there been real friendly every time I've been there.
This is a fantastic spot for traditional Carolina barbecue; they have nailed the brisket, pulled pork, and tangy Carolina-style sauce. The corn bread is also quite delicious.
Here's the thing you need to understand about barbecue before going to this place, or any for that matter: BBQ is a very regional craft, with a distinct approach to preparation, flavoring, moisture level, cut, rubs, smoking, and sauces for each region. A quick search of "regional barbecues" will tell you all about this, likely covering the most acclaimed (Texas, Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Carolina barbecues). Some of the reviews you'll read below are judging the PGH BBQ menu based on the type of BBQ the reviewer prefers or knows. If you're​ looking for good Carolina BBQ, or you want to try it after reading about Carolina BBQ to appreciate it, then this is a great place to try.
Would be great if there was any indication that this was only a seasonal business. It's apparently closed for several months out of the year. Would love to say how the food was, but obviously I wouldn't know.
This is just AVERAGE BBQ. Way too inconsistent. Dont use enough rub on their Pork and the Brisket is hit or miss on doneness and always lacks flavor. Chicken is decent. The sides are average. Slaw is bad. Cornbread is tasty.
