“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”

“I check the weekly offerings and try to plan a trip when something sounds appealing. I will say that I have enjoyed 95% of the ones I tried. You can't go wrong with the semi-sweet chocolate chip. The pineapple upside down cake was delicious. The orange creamsicle flavor was spot on. They recently had a peanut butter crisp cookie featuring Butterfinger. It tasted like the candy bar in cookie form.”

“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 !!”

“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!”

“The food was really good! The service was awesome and fast! And they have the good ice”

“Absolutely a 10 outta 10. I had a large order that wasn't pre ordered and the lady was so patient and kind. Not to mention it's DELICIOUS!”

“Food and service is always excellent! My fav place to eat in town”

“Phenomena service . I had tandoori chicken wings and falafel salad bowl booth were delicious, very fresh i was told ever thing is made to order glad to have some fresh food in the neighbourhood.”

“Food is amazing and they are always friendly, and their delivery is always fast and efficient.”

“We ordered pizza from here for my son's birthday. We decided to go with the Pittsburgh Pizza and the other was Meat Lover's. Both were amazing. My family loved the Pittsburgh Pizza the best between the two. We will definitely be back to try the other items.”

“Excellent food, great service!”

“Awesome counter service pizza place! Fluffy crust, perfect balance of cheese and toppings. I can’t wait to try more of their menu. This is our new spot to fuel up before sword practice at the Pittsburgh Fighters Guild.”

“We received one of their chocolate trays as a holiday gift. Everything we tried has been so good. The chocolate has such a wonderful taste. I will definitely be purchasing in the future. Please give them a try.”

“Yummy! While on our June summer road trip with our kids, we were in the mood for something sweet and decided to try out The Meadows for their famous custard. We were not disappointed! The building is very welcoming from the outside. All painted with ice cream cones and Adirondack chairs sitting around. In the front, you have tables where you can sit outside and enjoy the air. Inside you have tables and chairs in a brightly painted, cheerful room. There is also a life-size connect 4 game where the kids can play. My son and I enjoyed a game while eating our custard. It was a busy day, but the workers did great. They were very friendly. We all went for the original vanilla and we’re very impressed. I loved my waffle cone! It was a very hot day and these definitely hit the spot! Highly recommend! Good for kids! Boosters and high chairs available. *Wheelchair accessible entrance, seating, parking lot and restroom. Offers eat in, take out that you can get through the drive-through window or the walk up window and delivery. Credit and debit cards accepted.”

“My family stopped by on Saturday afternoon ordered a Pgh pizza and loaded fries. The Pizza was out of this world. The fries were fresh cut and delicious. Our server was Jodie and she was so friendly and efficient we never had to ask a refill on drinks. Most pleasant trip there ever.”

“We were a family of 10 and we came while it was not busy, they sat us immediately our server was great! I think his name was Shaine or something . But he was very attentive and understanding . Our food was great! First time here and definitely will return . Reasonably priced as well”

“Popped in before going to o2, had the jerk chicken burger, I have to say it's without doubt the best chicken burger I've ever eaten.”

“Great spot to grab lunch! 😋”

“I definitely recommend Taipei Tokyo ! Sushi is excellent as well as most of the other options. Friendly staff .”

“Love the food. Had the chicken Parmesan half hoagie last night with fries. I get a side of their hot sauce to dip my fries in. It is very spicy and most people probably can’t handle it but it is one of my favorite sauces and I always get it for tenders or fries.

Bri is the best bartender, Gwyn is a close 2nd and the owners are so friendly. Love it!”

“I hadn't placed an order in a while, but on Thursday I was so glad I did. The Western Reuben was delicious. The corned beef was so tender. *Sorry, I should have added that the staff is always so friendly*”

“Awesome south Indian food that tastes like homemade food. I've visited multiple times in 3 weeks, and will be regularly back here. Also is in the perfect location, very close to the Venkateshwara temple, and is worth visiting on the way back.”

“Stopped in today for lunch. We ordered the trinity. Baby back ribs, pulled pork and burnt ends, Collared greens and cornbread casserole. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing!!!! For every meal purchased a donation is made that feeds three children. I love that❤️ We will definitely be back.”

“The beers were unique and the wait staff were really friendly. While they didn't not serve food the food truck on site had really good food. I never knew this place existed but now that I do, I will definitely add it to the rotation of places I go.”

“A poem about the delightful experience I had of enjoying an Indian thali at India Garden of Monroeville, PA, USA. In the heart of Monroeville's bustling scene, Lies a garden where Indian flavors convene. A thali awaits,& Singh could whip up a feast so grand, With lamb and chicken, spiced by Singh’s masterful hand. Naan, soft and warm, fresh from the tandoor's glow, Dips into curries where spices freely flow. Cumin, coriander, turmeric bright, Each bite is a journey, a culinary flight. The sizzle of tikkas, the aroma of basmati rice, India Garden's thali, a paradise of spice. A symphony of flavors, in harmony they blend, A meal to remember, a joy that never ends. I feel this poem captures the essence of the rich and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine. Enjoy your meal at India Garden! I did. Geo Wong”

“It a small public area which is not a bad or good thing since just opinion. But facts are good coffees in front of you really nice staff and always feels welcoming. Obviously tastes good. Not subtracting stars do to location. I glad it in the food court area. Easy access.”

“I love the smoothies! The Bowls are great as well. My only concern is how much sugar natural or not is contained in the products. I really wish there were more smoothies that contained less sugar. Kale, spinach, wheatgrass, beets, carrots. Everything tastes like candy. I want a smoothie/ smoothies bowl that a can be proud of consuming after a workout. Sugar is sugar regardless if it’s natural or not. But I do love the products”

“Best Pizza in Monroeville and also the best Eggplant Parmagiana”

“Placed mobile order for dine in. Not a long wait. Big menu board with great lighting. Temperature here can sometimes be really cold or warm. Food was hot and fresh. Some tables were not clean though”

“The great employees of this Starbucks are AMAZING! Their coffees are consistently perfect…so much better than any of the free standing stores in the area. They are all SO pleasant too! Keep up the good work…you are truly appreciated!”

“We enjoyed everything about our meal tonight. Quay was our server and she was the absolute sweetest. Our service was fast and the food was delicious. I would absolutely eat here again!”

“Today was very crowded, as expected, since it was Mother's Day. There was a "special" menu today for a slightly higher fee ($22), but it was to include Crab Legs that they rarely have. I go there 1-2 times/month. I was a bit skeptical about the quality and replenishment of the Crab Legs. Oh, my!!! They were fantastic and constantly replenished. This was fantastic! Thank You.. was much appreciated!”

“Just had this place for the first time it was really good.I will be going back and the staff was helpful and friendly very clean if you like sushi this is the place to go! Has the Sakura roll and Tempura shrimp roll.”

“I have known Aiman for more than 20 years. His shop provides great value, good food, and friendly conversation. Always customer focused, he offers a great selection of lunch options, made to order tasty sandwiches, daily specials, homemade soups and a variety of breakfast treats for those who start the day early. He has faithfully served his customers for more than 20 years, daily Monday through Friday. He is a great example of a hardworking successful independent businessesman and entrepreneur. It is well worth a stop to enjoy the food fare and hospitality of Monroeville's premier sandwich shop located in the lobby of the medical building across from Max & Emma's.”

“This place will catch you by surprise. I stopped in just to look at the menu and the guy said "ignore the menu, tell me whatever you want and I promise you will love it" he did just that and I was blown away. He gave my kids free cookies and we were happy because of the unexpected experience.”

“Great flavored oven baked pizzas, with wide variety of options. Limited options for Veg pizzas. Add ons and side dishes are adequate and offer a great tasting experience. Kids would love the pizzas as they have thin crust and good cooked flavors.”

“Kathy was great as a waitress. food was wonderful. fish was very fresh. we will return. 5 stars.”

“This location provided a very good experience; the food was pleasantly warm, not excessively hot, and prepared upon our arrival. The restroom facilities were clean and well-maintained. I continue to be disappointed that raspberry tea is not available at any of the locations I have visited recently. Additionally, it appears there might have been a change regarding the French fries, though my wife and children still find them to be very good. I do wish this location had a table for four instead of two but we squeezed in.”

“Incredible burger, best I’ve had in a while. The burgers were freshly cooked, and served quickly. My only complaint is that the fries could use some salt, other than that, it’s perfect”

“Last day I visit with my family and we buy some cookies that was really good and fresh. The store manager was very nice and cooperative person, the store was very clean.”

“It’s such a cute coffee shop! Friendly employees. ♥️”

“I wanted to say thank you to the Store Manager/Server! The young man was extremely professional and courteous! I was there today around 11:56am! I hope one day he gets his own Franchise!”

“Honestly I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Orange beef was really good (I'd cut the pieces smaller if I were them) general tso also was really good and crab wonton were crazy good”

“I came in at 6:00pm on 12/23/25 and ordered two sandwiches for takeout the hostess told me it would be about 10 minutes for my order. I waited 30 minutes and still my order wasn’t ready I asked a different person about my order and they said that it’s take some time because they are busy. My thing is why didn’t the hostess just be honest and say there’s an hour wait for takeout. I’m Very disappointed with the dishonesty and the lack of communication from the hostess. I waited an hour and 15 minutes for TWO SANDWICHES. THATS RIDICULOUS ON ANY LEVEL”

“I would like to thank Dee for her kindness to my son today. She is a kindhearted, wonderful lady.”

“A little biased here, but my father built LaBarbe’s back in the late 1920’s. It’s gone through changes over the years however, it still remains a wonderful place and still has the great food and great owners. I’m headed back to eat there today (8/6).”

“Susie is the BEST. Thank you for always making my day when I come visit.”

“We were a party of 10 and had a wonderful lunch there today. Great wait staff, very helpful. And the food was delicious. I will definitely be back.”

“Yesterday was the first time we tried this restaurant & we were so happy we did. They launched their new menu & everything was great. The Mozzarella appetizer was done perfectly. We tried the Hot Honey Pizza & the Bruschetta Bowl with a side salad. All of it was terrific. Our server was extremely attentive too. Couldn’t have had a better experience. We’ll go back for sure!”

“Fast pickup after ordering”

“John was very friendly and welcoming as I entered the establishment, it's nice to feel appreciated as a customer. His service was fast but not rushed. Its good to know there are still people out here that knows how to give good customer service.”

“Great burritos and great prices and they always come with a side of chips and salsa. I actually have a free burrito that I just can't seem to use because they have so many great deals like buy one get one free burrito for Halloween. Much better than Chipotle 👍”

“On the evening of Jan 7, 2025 we were hungry travelers coming through Pittsburg on our way home. We headed to chipotle when we saw this little sub station. So happy we stopped here instead! The food was DELICIOUS and the service just as great. The young men greeted us enthusiastically and took good care to make us super tasty subs! The place is clean and fun. We 💯 recommend! The bread is unique but amazing.. soft and chewy on this inside and crispy on the outside- holds all the goodies inside. We could taste every single ingredient - not just a bread sandwich. Good check em out! And thanks to the 3 gentlemen working last night!”

“Great food is great, Service was great, and it’s just a very laid-back environment”

“I look forward to stopping at Denny's for special occasions and when I'm in the area! The food and service are always top notch.”

“So-called “jumbo” wings may be large on a pigeon, but not on a chicken. $11 for seven little half-wings. OVERPRICED! Don’t bother!”

“The Gluten Friendly pizza is AMAZING!”

“This Eat 'n Park location has a good team of people who are friendly, helpful, and kind. The salads bar is always fresh and full of lots of refreshing and delicious options. During the holidays, you can find pistachio fluff, which is tasty with sunflower seeds.”
