“Nestled in a modest plaza at 226 Center Road in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, Big Rig’s BBQ is the kind of place that turns barbecue lovers into regulars. Owned and operated by the warm and welcoming husband-and-wife team of Josh and Susan Toney, along with their talented chef, this local spot has quickly become a standout in the Pittsburgh-area BBQ scene since opening a few years ago. What sets it apart? It's chef-driven smoked meats using a blend of hickory, cherry, and apple woods, creative sides, craft sandwiches, and an unwavering commitment to quality. But let's get to the heart of it—the food, the people, and the vibe that make every visit feel like coming home. If there's one item that defines Big Rig’s BBQ, it's the brisket. This Texas-style brisket is nothing short of exceptional. Smoked low and slow daily, it arrives at your table with a beautiful bark, a perfect smoke ring, and tenderness that rivals the best pits in the country. You can order it lean or fatty (I always go for a mix), and it literally melts in your mouth. Fork-tender, juicy, and packed with deep, smoky flavor, it's the kind of brisket that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. Reviewers from North Carolina to Texas have raved about it, with many calling it the best they've had outside their home states. Pair it with one of their house-made sauces— the sweet house sauce, tangy Carolina mustard, or spicy variant—and you've got barbecue perfection. Whether sliced on a platter, stuffed into a baked potato, or melted into their famous Brisket Grilled Cheese sandwich (a gooey, indulgent masterpiece), the brisket is consistently outstanding and the reason many drive from across the region. But Big Rig’s isn't just about classics; their creativity shines in the Burger of the Week, a rotating special that drops every Wednesday and keeps things exciting. Each new burger is a stroke of genius, blending premium ingredients with BBQ flair in ways that surprise and delight. One week, it might be a double smash burger topped with chopped brisket, crispy onions, and a tangy sauce that elevates it to legendary status. Another features bold flavors like jalapeño cheddar, bacon, and raspberry honey mustard slaw on a pretzel bun—sweet, spicy, smoky, and utterly addictive. I've tried several, and every single one has been phenomenal: juicy patties cooked to perfection, fresh toppings that balance textures and tastes, and portions that leave you satisfied but plotting your return. Diners frequently call these burgers the best in the Pittsburgh area, with one declaring a brisket-topped version "the BEST burger I've had." The anticipation for each new creation builds community buzz on social media, and it's easy to see why— these aren't ordinary burgers; they're innovative, flavorful triumphs that showcase the kitchen's talent. Beyond the stars of the menu, the supporting cast is equally impressive. Sides like the creamy mac and cheese, smoky pit beans with burnt ends, sweet vinegar coleslaw, and melt-in-your-mouth cornbread are generous and house-made with care. Other meats—fall-off-the-bone ribs, rich pork belly burnt ends, pulled pork, and even smoked kielbasa—round out platters that feed families effortlessly. There's a kids' menu with favorites like grilled cheese and chicken tenders, making it easy to bring the whole crew. What truly elevates Big Rig’s is the owners and staff, who are incredibly friendly and genuinely passionate. Josh and Susan are often on-site, chatting with guests, recommending pairings, and ensuring everyone feels welcome. The service is attentive yet relaxed, with staff going above and beyond—whether explaining the sauces at the table or accommodating special requests. It's clear this is a family-run operation built on love for great food and community. The environment is perfectly family-friendly: clean, casual, and cozy with ample seating, including space for larger groups. It's not a fancy spot, but it's inviting—think warm ligh”

“We do not have an Indian restaurant where I live. It is my favorite cuisine. I have driven to Monroeville more times than I can count to satisfy my family’s Indian cravings (yes even my 7 year old loves Indian food). I can say without a doubt this is the best I have tried in the Pittsburgh area. The freshness and quality is so amazing. The owner is very personable and service is great. I will go no where else but this place going forward. So happy a decided to stop on a whim!”

“my family and i used to get pizza from here all the time, it was a tradition to get it on christmas eve as well. pizza is so good we would even eat a piece uncooked in the car on the way home 😅. unfortunately i havent had pizza from here in many years, since i moved to florida in 2014. still hasn't stopped me from thinking about this place often and craving it like crazy. i wish i could have it shipped to me here in florida tho. maybe one day that could be an option.”

“My family's favorite sub shop. 45 minute drive but always worth it. Tried at least a dozen different items now and all were the best. If you have never been there - you really do not know what you are missing - it has no equal. The bread and meats and prep are all unique - a really great place !!”

“The ice cream variety is plentiful, the wait time is short, and the service is as sweet as the name and the treat! Our last trip i felt so spoiled. The employee brought our ice cream out to us. It was me with my 2 boys, my youngest being a busy toddler. She was so helpful and kind. She included all the things we could possibly need. Check them out, u will have no regrets. (other than u havent found them sooner) ❤️”

“Definitely not for the faint or older generations. Food was amazing. Vibe definitely geared towards younger millennial/gen-z crowd. I’m a Xennial and I loved every second of it. Definitely coming back. Food accurately priced for the quality. And my drink came in a zebra glass! Dancing shark was a fun bonus too. Haha.”

“Novo has quickly become my go-to neighborhood spot, and honestly… I’m a little obsessed 🤍 From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm, inviting, and effortlessly cozy—the kind of place you want to linger a little longer. But what really makes Novo special is the staff. Every single visit, they’re genuinely kind, welcoming, and make you feel like a regular (even if you’re not… yet). Now let’s talk about the drinks—because WOW. The whipped honey latte has me in a chokehold, and if you haven’t tried the seasonal lavender version, you are seriously missing out. It’s next-level good. Food-wise, Novo does not disappoint. The made-to-order breakfast sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a slow morning or a quick grab-and-go. The only thing I’ll say (and this is me begging nicely 🙃): they’re closed on Sundays, and I would LOVE to see extended hours in the future. Pretty please! If you’re local and haven’t been yet—this is your sign. Novo is a must-try ☕✨”
