17 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Ambridge

“Looking for something specific at a particular point in time, Sokah BBQ & Catering came up in a Google search, and had what I was looking for. I ordered a pretty wide variety of their food, and it was excellent… I’ll be a repeat customer. Give them a try if you’re in the Pittsburgh area and looking to get out into our communities and support the local community restaurants.“

“It was nice to have a taste of home in falls. not many places serve authentic southern cooking. everything was absolutely amazing and delicious. can't wait for them to come back“

“I had the Smokehouse for my June 4th wedding and everyone who attended the wedding said the food was awesome. Highly recommended for a party!“

“Love the atmosphere and memorabilia. The staff is so friendly, accommodating, and eager to help. The food is delicious, and well presented. The restaurant was clean and inviting. So refreshing to be surrounded by true patriots! A wonderful experience!“

“I recommend the food, but not the service. They're so rude, and for some reason Mitch tells you they don't have things when they do. there are no specials when there are, and we definitely would have ordered the special bc it's my son's favorite thing. They were not busy. Now, my husband says that he won't ever eat there again... :/ And this is why we can only go there like twice a year.“

“1st time there today for lunch!! We have been to events that were catered by mission bbq but this was our 1st time eating in! Thanks to Anthony! He came out from the behind the counter to explain to us the menu. We placed our order he came to the table to check on us. Some people are meant to work in public and in the food industry he is definitely one of them! Thank you!! The food was amazing! The sauces were incredible! Can not wait to go back!“

“Their brisket grilled cheese with the bacon bourbon BBQ is absolutely amazing!“

“Had dinner at Dee Jays for the first time. Excellent! 5 stars. Ribs are the best I've had for a long, long time. The jalapeño mac & cheese has a hint of the pepper without the heat. Appears that everything is scratch made including the Margherita! Dee Jay's is our new destination restaurant. The service was excellent, too. You will not be constantly interrupted. And it needs to be pointed out that the restaurant & restrooms are very clean (no odors in the latter!). Check it out. You should not be disappointed.“

“The restaurant was too cold. It was uncomfortable. There was no where to sit in the entire restaurant that was warm other than the ladies room.“

“Had an amazing lunch with great service from Deb.“

“They just did my wedding Saturday and they did such an amazing job. Not only with the decorations but the food was AMAZING. Everything that they made was absolutely delicious. Highly Recommend 10/10. Also they help us with a DJ name TJ and his wife that is a bartender they were also amazing I recommend all 3 if your throwing any sort of wedding or celebration. WORTH IT“

“We hired Ben to do a pig roast for my grandmother's 100th Birthday party on 8/10. I just typed pig roasts near Economy and Pipers was the 1st one to come up with rave reviews (I read all of them). Let me tell you, the whole process was smooth, Ben is very professional, answered ALL my dumb questions and assured me that he had it handled.....We had roughly 120ish people, didn't run out of a single thing, it's a great value for what your getting and the food WAS AMAZING!!!!!! That Honey Apple-Butter BBQ sauce is TOP NOTCH!!! I took a container of it home and will be putting thay sh*t on everything!!! Ben was so nice! Mingled with some of my family and let us take pics of the pig when it was finished and gave me the best part of the pig, the cheek! 100% reccomend cause you have no idea what your missing with that BBQ sauce! lol Thank so much! I handed out your business cards and will definitely book you in the future!“

“Treated my son and myself to the lamb chop special. We both ordered medium rare. The chops were done perfectly! Our server Abby provided exemplary service -- friendly, speedy and attentive. Definitely the best meal I've had at this location. I wholeheartedly recommend the lamb while it's available.“

“Had Papa Woods BBQ cater my son’s graduation party today. The food was excellent and the service was great. It was the talk of the party!!! Thank you so much! I was able to relax and enjoy the party while they did all the cooking.“

“Great food and terrific service. Hamburgers, wings, fries, and house chips are all the best in town. All of their food is well prepared and portions large. Also Great to just sit at the bar for a drink with friends. Hometown feel to it.“

“Alright hard to do a star rating so read the whole thing but I did online order for the family and had a 40 minute wait which I understand so honestly that doesn't effect me if I have to wait cuz they get busy. While waiting my bag got handed off to the wrong customer so they left and came back 5 minater n said that wasn't what they ordered. The bag they took was my order cuz when I asked if mine was ready they handed me that bag. Everyone is different but me if some complete strangers had my food and left the building with it I'm gonna be weird about eating it. The girl said she was getting the manager before I could even say anything so I appreciate that and the manager (Ethan) came was super nice and asked what I wanted to do and gave me vouchers for basically my entire order. Go home with the food told the family the situation and see that the sauce for the onion bloom wasn't there no ranch we asked for and the 2 all American burgers only had cheese so being annoyed already I just called and I think the other manager name was Jeff got on the phone and asked how he can make it right. I honestly didn't know I told him I was just making it known that our experience was a disaster. The manager said what if I have your Burgers and onion bloom made and have the other manager Ethan drive it to your house? I was not expecting that to be a thing but I said are you serious? He took my address and Ethan was at my house within 30 minutes and gave us more rolls extra fries ranch and sauce for the onion bloom. So I know things can happen and get busy but my 0 star turned to a 5 star because they went out of their way to make things right and I've never had any experience like that going above and beyond. So accidents happen things get busy but if you try to communicate civil in a annoying or stressful situation you'd be surprised what can happen. Long story (literally) short excellent service and I will order again in the near future. Huge props to management on Jan.19th 2026. It was very much appreciated“
