      Great meat! Great sides! What more can you ask for?? The brisket and St.Louis ribs were on point. The Mac salad and corn bread . I'll stop anytime I'm driving through!

      I've been wanting to check out PGH bbq for quite some time.

      As soon as we walked in, the guys working were extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone had their masks on properly and their workspace was super clean.

      There are fresh, pre made meats and sides to choose from. When we arrived at around 7PM on a Friday they had plenty to choose from.

      We ended up getting 1lb of brisket ($20) and a rack of ribs. We also ordered a few single sides, potato salad, and coleslaw. Everyone's favorite part of dinner was the cornbread. It was $2.50 for a small piece, but wow! It was worth it.

      The ribs and brisket were good, and the sauces they gave on the side were very good as well. The ribs could have been a little more tender. Looking forward, maybe we could call ahead and see when they put their ribs out so we can grab them when they are super fresh.

      Great barbecue! Have really enjoyed all the meats I've tried here. I especially like the brisket. They also have really good potatoe salad and mac & cheese. I like picking up food here on a rainy weekend and enjoying it at my house. The outside of this place is really cool also you can see the meat smoker! Love it, super cute

      Stopped in this little place next door to the hotel I stayed in. You just looks like a place that has good barbecue. And it does. I got the brisket great flavor, but this may be the tenderest brisket I have ever eaten. It is not to be missed. I also got the half a chicken. Didn't want that much but that's how it came so that's what I got. Seasonings on this chicken are very good and it is fall off the bone tender. I also got the mac and cheese it's okay and your kids will love it. I also got their baked beans. These are top shelf baked beans and any restaurant you want to go to maybe the best baked beans I've ever had in my life they are wonderful. The kids working tonight were very personable went out of their way to be helpful. And I got to tell you I've spent more money for Arby's then I spent on this gigantic feast. If you're in the area do not miss this place

      I'm giving the food a 5!! Delicious chicken, ribs, pulled pork and the sides. We were staying at the comfort inn immediately across from the restaurant. I asked around for a great place and the front desk highly recommended it.
      So checked out the reviews and it got great ones. However, the staff was not friendly at all. We felt as if we were bothering Them. No smiles no you're welcome! We totally felt rushed. We had never been there before so we had questions and there was no one around besides us ordering. Oh well. Iwon't come back. That's for sure

      I had to give one star in order to post a review otherwise it would have been none.

      This place had amazing Q last time I was in however, things change and this time it was bad. Sadly the brisket was cold and dry. The ribs, no exaggeration, the ribs were inedible.

      The slaw was good, Mac n cheese was good but it looked ancient.

      Listen I totally understand it's very difficult to keep Q looking good, and keeping it from drying out etc... BUT, when it gets to that point it should be tossed, thus place apparently keeps it in the tins until its sold, I don't know but that's why they are getting this horrible review.

      Large portions. Employees steered me in the right direction Espinosa could could spend the least money and still get the same amount of food. Had the 2 meat combo with two sides and drink. Have gone back on Thursdays for $7.99 whole smoked chicken to shred and use for meals that I make. Very friendly staff.

      Here's the email I wrote Oct 3, 2020 and received no reply. Prior to this experience I was a massive fan of Pittsburgh BBQ Company.

      My name is Will and I have been coming to enjoy Pittsburgh BBQ on Banksville for longer than I can remember. To celebrate our 5th anniversary my fiancee whom is a surgical OR Nurse was going to bring me home Pittsburgh BBQ Company as a surprise.

      This was yesterday, Friday. My fiancee left work early. This is unheard of for her since she works in the operating room as a nurse but since it was our anniversary her co-workers covered for her. On her way home she stopped to grab my gift at Target and then planned pick up Pittsburgh BBQ Company. The chicken is my favorite, the pulled pork sandwich is hers!

      As she was leaving Target she called to place an order over the phone for pickup. She called around 6:30 and expected to arrive less than 15 min before close. You will see from the attached screenshot she called at 6:29pm and was on the phone for less than a minute. The employee said phone orders are only for orders over $100. She was surprised considering COVID19 and the timing that they wouldn't take an order over the phone for pickup.

      The employee on the phone assured her it would be "hot and ready" when she arrived to be packaged up quickly and she would be good to go. As she worked her way through South Hills traffic and the closure of part of Fort Couch Road she became concerned about her timing. As she was down the road she wanted to make sure she didn't miss you by closing or making a mess for your employees minutes before closure she decided to call again.

      The same employee on the phone now said you were closed. The time being 6:56pm as you can see in the attached screenshot.

      I've worked in retail for over a decade including on the front lines at Giant Eagle for more than a decade. She also worked at Giant Eagle and now regularly works long shifts on her feet. We both feel sympathy to the workers during his extra difficult time and navigating covid safety.

      We are both extremely disappointed in the behavior of your employee and the representation of your business as a whole. As I said we are engaged. We've heard lots of good about All the Best Catering. In addition, I've been going to Pittsburgh BBQ Company on Banksville with my Dad and brother. I was extremely excited to introduce my fiancee to your food.

      I really hope you take my concerns seriously as this was a huge let down on a special day where she went out of her way to take care of me and your employee shut her down at every moment.

      Please see the attached screenshot for the call logs to Pittsburgh BBQ Company.

      Look forward to hearing from you,

      (I never heard)

      Pork is 3 stars, brisket is 5 stars, Mac n cheese is 3.5 stars, cornbread is 5 stars. Solid choice for Yinzer bbq in a town that struggles for the real deal. Side by side with big rig would be a great face off.

      Catered an event at work and everything was outstanding. Shredded chicken was good - not dry. .. flavorful. Cornbread was on point. We had mac n cheese and red potatoes .. went well with the chicken. We will no doubt be ordering again. I increased the number of person count just to be on the safe side.. and it was a great balance! Love that bbq !

      Thanks Pgh BBQ Company~!
