| - As someone who lives just north of Pittsburgh, I am definitely one of those people who grumbles whenever I have to cross a bridge and/or go through a tunnel to get somewhere. There may be traffic and it may or may not add 30 seconds on to my drive, but the thought of it usually puts me in a grumpy mood and I'll act as if this extra 30 seconds means I have to pack an overnight bag.
Yet when I set out to get take-out from Rowdy BBQ, I was not even thinking about the location. Until I was sitting in stand still traffic on 51. With nowhere to go but forward, onward to the Brentwood Express shack for some barbecue I went. I arrived in one piece, greeted by the Rowdy Rooster, thankful that delicious barbecue would be my reward.
I'm pretty sure I've been here before, but it's been so long ago I don't even remember what I ate. And I'm pretty sure someone else drove which is why I didn't remember the traffic. Nevertheless, I went with my usual pulled pork sandwich and mixed it up with the buffalo chicken sandwich. One for now, one for later. The pulled pork was good, though I was surprised by the cheddar cheese sauce as opposed to sliced or shredded cheese on top. The buffalo chicken sandwich, which I got with provolone instead of the cheddar cheese, was better in my opinion than the pulled pork. And after reading other reviews, I think I may have made a mistake by not getting any sides.
Should I brave 51 again, I will definitely repeat that buffalo chicken sandwich. Along with some sides and maybe some brisket or one of those amazing looking cheesesteaks. And next time I'll call ahead so I can spend my time sitting in traffic as opposed to waiting for my order. Then maybe I can update my review and add another star.
