If you want to have a dry and bland meal this place is for you. They don’t have fried chicken! They forgot to put the chili in our bag. The pulled pork and chicken were so dry. The bb sauce is nasty! Paying 50 bucks for dinner and it be gross. Not a good thing.Parking: The parking is terrible. Don’t take a pickup truck there.

Been here several times and the brisket and ALL of the sides are always on point. Especially the baked beans and the potato salad ?

They have good food but if you guys could stop forgetting stuff in my takeout order, That'd be great! I shouldn't have to remind them what I got. They have a computer to tell them. Now 2nd time they forgot

I've been coming to Pittsburgh barbecue for the past 10+ years and have been big fan of their brisket buying it as a sandwich combo with 1 side and a drink and consistently getting a gut-busting portion of juicy flavorful smoked brisket meat on a hard roll. This last time however noticeably not as good as it used to be. Have times changed? The meat portion was noticeably smaller (can't really blame Covid related Shrinkflation for that as I have been there several times in the past 3 years) the amount of meat was not only smaller but it was more fatty and chewy. The beans were at least good. Will have to see if it was just a one off meh experience or a true downward trend. Time will tell.

I've never had their catering services, so I can only speak for the restaurant. I was a little disappointed because of the small amount of food for the price. And I wasn't impressed with the quality. It wasn't bad, but I won't crave it

Worst ribs I’ve ever had. They were really tough and hard to get off the bone. Everything was horrible, and the BBQ sauce wasn’t good either. I’d rather drive the extra distance and go to Clems.

My wife and I loved the brisket and the coleslaw.The chicken was a little over cooked, and the chili tasted strongly of tomato soup.It was good- but it would only be a choice for me if very convenient.

Ribs were cut like someone never used a knife before or cut ribs. Quality of my ribs were 3 out of 10 for the price, they didn’t even cut off the skin on the bottom of the rack making the meat overly chewy. Got the $23.99 portion of brisket and got 2oz in their smallest plastic container. I asked if that was right and cashier said the price of brisket had gone up. I have gotten the brisket here before and it’s never been served in the container I was given. I’ve always been on the fence with this place, but this experience assured I will not be returning and giving them any further business.

I cant believe I spent 13.77 for absolutely nothing. Its a portion for a kid honestly. I have never been more disappointed in trying a restraunt in my life
