Driving through blawnox on the 4th of July and I see this heavenly smoke cloud in the air… then the smell hits my nostrils… I had to spin around the block and see what was going on… grabbed a pulled pork sandwich combo and a brisket sandwich. The combo adds their coleslaw and either smoked macaroni and cheese or red potatoes… man this place knocked it out of the park. Portions were massive. Like when I say massive I mean massive. Smoked macaroni and cheese is where it’s at! The meat was so tender and flavorful. Drove 15 minutes home with the food and it still burnt my hand taking it out. Hot, fresh, delicious. The gentleman working the smoker was super friendly even in the 87 degree heat. They had like 6 different bbq sauces so i grabbed them all to try. There’s something for everyone. Whether you like it plain or Carolina gold, or with some heat to it, they got you covered. So glad I drove by. Five stars easily. My teenager said it was fire. Which means he approved.

I had this food at Trace Brewing, and so glad I did; I'm a mac-n-cheese lover, and this may have been the best I've ever had. It's smoked slowly in the same giant smoker that the meat is put in, so it has a richer flavor than anything you could imagine. It's dripping with both melted cheese and a good amount of cheese sauce, and you get enough for two servings if you don't scarf down the entire thing in one go. I'll be seeing where they pop up next, I have to try the brisket and ribs.I'd say the only downside was waiting 10-15 minutes despite a line of 4 people ahead of me, but the man was taking care to put the food together, and it was well worth the wait.

The brisket sandwich is to die for. The Mac and cheese is amazing. My husband and I will be looking for Blowfish BBQ every time we are in Pittsburgh!

I seldom write a review but this one is really hard to not talk about. We got a brisket sandwich and half a rack of ribs and everything was extremely delicious! The meat was seasoned really well and soft to instantly dissolve in your mouth. 10/10! Will come here again.

The brisket Mac and cheese was so good and had a lot of food!
It's everything I could have hoped for. The meat is smoked to perfection, the taste of the smoke really stands out, and the sauce options are really awesome. The spicy carolina sauce is absolutely killer and the sides really compliment the meat. Highly recommended!

Blowfish BBQ did not disappoint. The ribs were amazing and the brisket was delicious and the sides were phenomenal. Red skin mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese and spicy vinegar coleslaw. I highly recommend their food..check them out as they set up at local breweries.

Phenomenal BBQ, ribs fall right off the bone. Sauces are a sensation! Carolina BBQ is the best I've had. We will definitely be back.

This BBQ is excellent. They are frequently on the North Shore bike trail on the weekends. We tried it once and made a special trip back because it was so good. My family had the pulled pork which they loved. I'm a vegetarian, but was very happy with the mac and cheese, possibly the best I ever had, along with the smashed red potatoes. On top of how good the food was, the hot sauces are also great!

Excellent food, Hootie is generous with his portions. I absolutely love the brisket Mac n’ cheese, Brunswick stew, and the cornbread. It’s definitely worth hitting up anytime you have the opportunity. Your tummy will thank you!
Best brisket in the city!
