I never got to try Area 51 BBQ but I was glad to see it's replacement was another BBQ place. Apparently Spilly's made updates to the space and it is a lot nicer now.
My husband and I ordered takeout from here on a Friday evening and it didn't seem too busy. We ordered ribs and a pulled pork sandwich. We were quite impressed with the meats and the cornbread. FYI, the cornbread had some jalapeƱo which gave it a nice little kick. The ribs were fall off the bone and they had a really nice char on them. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was their sauce, which seems to be a ketchup base. We got both the regular and the spicy and I couldn't really tell them apart. They tasted mostly of ketchup and vinegar and was rather tangy, which I prefer a sweeter sauce. However, I think the meats were relatively flavorful without the need for sauce.
Great addition to the south hills, as there's always room for bbq!
