| - Excellent barbeque, traditional and creative sides; owner prepares with love and skill. Accommodating of food aversions and allergies; many vegan and vegetarian offerings (not just the sides). Gluten free offerings. Great ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken. Salads are huge, with generous serving of the meat ordered (or barbeque tofu). My husband is a very picky barbeque fiend and he loved it. In fact, it was the first taste of real food he had after leaving the hospital and it reminded him he still loved food (just not hospital food).
Orders prepared swiftly, so be ready to head over quick if you phone your order in. We got medium portions of several meats, three side dishes, some cornbread for three people and still had leftovers we ate for two days after. Got all three sauces, liking the Carolina Vinegar on the pulled pork (which didn't need any, but it was a nice extra kick of flavor), their Signature sauce was not overly spicy, but quite tasty with the chicken or brisket. The ribs needed nothing added -- fall off the bone tasty.
A pulled chicken salad on another day was just huge and so satisfying. I loved the Honey Gold mustard sauce with that one.
Their coleslaw is possibly the best I've had anywhere, ever. A friend had their smoked tofu and loved it; she never thought she'd be craving anything at a barbeque joint!
It's one of my short list of go-to places when in Pittsburgh/Shadyside area.
