| - I have been on a Yelp hiatus as of late due to external factors, but Bama's southern kitchen made me return to sing their praises. I feel an obligation to make sure places like Bama's endure and become widely known to the Pgh area and get the credit they deserve for making tummies happy in the 412.
I am a sucker for good Southern food for my belly. You name it, greens, biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, ribs, basically everything that would make a cardiac specialist cringe
We ventured in to see very gratified patrons, most on a first name basis with the staff. The menu is very succinct, consisting of burger options, wings, sides, and RIBS.
My girlfriend ordered their special, a brisket sandwich, and I ordered 6 ribs. I confidently exclaimed to the staff that a growing man such as myself should have no trouble putting that away. We had sides of Macaroni, red beans and rice, and greens. I have tried ribs many places, the Carolinas, Oklahoma, etc. These were without a doubt my favorite. The smokiness and dry rub alone could make the need for sauce an afterthought. They were extremely meaty and filling. In fact, I failed on my claim and was only able to eat four. They did however come with two sauces to dip in, a mustard, and spicy sauce. They were ungodly delicious. The sides were as wholesome as you would expect from a family picnic and every bit as tasty as well.
If you are craving delicious ribs or comfort food, this gem of Brookline should be your jam.
