  • I don't want to rain on this parade of generally positive reviews but I feel the need to weigh in with a dissenting view. It's not all bad: it's a mixed bad. The staff is crazy friendly and the decor looks like it was pieced together from scraps left behind by a local and not particularly successful amateur theater troupe. It's low-key to the point that you question whether you've actually entered a building certified to sell food. Behind the counter however, you can see the kitchen at work in a glorious bustle of brining and dry-rubbing that lets you know, yes, what you are eating is, in fact, genuine home-cooked barbecue that presumably meets all health and safety standards. The owner is a really friendly guy; when you walk in, he asks if you've eaten there before and, if not, delivers his spiel on what he does: dry-rubbed barbecue, sauce on the side, have you tried the sauces by the way? The three varieties are sweet red, sweet yellowish, and sweet with vinegar. I get it, you can't have barbecue without sweetness but he may have driven the point home a little too thoroughly. I got the pulled pork sandwich (priced at 8.50 including a side) and it was merely alright. I picked the coleslaw and carolina vinegar sauce because, really, that is the only way to eat a pulled pork sandwich. The bun is store-bought, slightly sweet, and thoroughly mediocre. Without the slaw on top, the bun and the tender pork would have been too uniformly textured to enjoy especially when doused in sauce. The pork itself tasted like smoked pork that had been dry-rubbed (surprise). I wouldn't call it bland, but it would've benefited from more salt. If you need smoked meat (don't we all), this is one of the few places in Pittsburgh to get it. The price is alright and the food is passable, if not great, barbecue. I'm not writing this place off; I still need to try their ribs before judging them completely. I like barbecue but found my sandwich boring. Maybe the portions are better for the non-sandwich options but I could eat more for less elsewhere. I'd also like to explore their sides more. The black-eyed peas were fantastic.
