It's so good to have a BBQ close by. The brisket was delicious, not overdone...just perfect with all of the different sauces. Couldn't eat it all, first time I've ever taken a doggie bag. Gonna try the pulled pork next.
I'd been here back what it was Spadafora's and was not impressed. I really wondered if this place could be any good as well given the space is so small and, well, blah. It was much better than expected.
The food was all very good. I saw many complaints about the brisket being dry but two in my party got brisket and it was very tender. The portions are very generous and the quality was excellent. I had baked beans and collard greens for my sides and liked both. I could have easily made two meals out of what I got.
And the atmosphere, while still a bit cramped and loud, suits the restaurant much better. I think they could easily move to a larger location and fill the place out.
Only complaint is that they have a small draft selection, but with all drafts $3 - including craft beers - during happy hour I wasn't complaining.
This was our first time at Route 8 BBQ but it won't be our last. The food was excellent and the service was good, however, parking is limited. We pulled into the last spot in the lot but there were plenty of tables available inside.
Anyway, back to the food. My wife and I both had the 3 choice combo and chose pulled pork, brisket and ribs. I tried all 6 sauces on the table and had trouble picking a favorite. The meat was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant. And make sure you order the corn on the cob. It's excellent!
We really liked Rt. 8 barbecue! Had burnt ends, brisket & some of the best ribs ever! Loved the sauces - for our take out box, our waitress gave us small containers of each sauce which was a really nice touch! Great service! Looking forward to going back - especially for Happy Hour!
Stick to the BBQ items (brisket, pork, and ribs) as they are delicious. The hamburger was below average. The sweet potatoes fries were awesome! Service was okay. They weren't super busy and our food came out really quickly.
We ate outside and despite some minor road noise the environment was pleasant and relaxing.
This is a nice spot to go after a bike, run or hike at North Park.
Lovely place on route 8. It has a great mixture of grilled and smoked meats. Everything is cooked to perfection. It’s tender and falls off the bone. I would say try it, it’s not for everyone but if you like gourmet southern kitchen you will like this place as well.
Great new small place w/ nice bar & plenty of seating @11 tables. We tried all the meats & sauces. ALL delicious!! Slaw & pickle were both strong vinegar but if u like that go for it! Baked beans & mac 'n cheese were both A+
Incredibly cozy parking lot 🤣 but encouraged they look like they offer delivery so HUGE plus if that is the case! Quick service and enjoyable dining experience. No complaints! The food was great and my kids loved the mac and cheese.
Shared a pick 3 platter with my husband, and still didn't finish it all because the portions are gigantic! Food was beyond excellent, meat that just falls apart but is still crispy. There ranchero redneck sauce is delicious. :) Can't say enough about the place.
This is by far the best bbq we've had anywhere in town! I would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be coming back for more. Also, we can take our dog and sit outside on their cute patio! Jenna makes great margherita! Try it out!!
Route 8 BBQ is fantastic if you are looking for a fun night out with friends or family. The service was excellent, food was phenomenal (especially those sauces), and the atmosphere is very welcoming and warm. Definitely check it out!
Great food, large portions, and great staff, but on the pricey end for bbq. You do get your money's worth though! Will be back to try other items. Great sauces, great flavors. Try the potatoe apperizer....and be ready for take home containers for eveything
This place has incredible food and service. I’ve never seen a more inclusive representation of delicious BBQ sauces in all of Pittsburgh. Great job guys, will definitely return!
Waitress Jenna very friendly! We had smoked brisket burnt ends and smoked chicken wings, both were tender and moist, and bbq sauces were very tasty!!! We will definitely return!!!
We have been here several times and have not had a bad experience. Everything we have tried was delicious and the staff are very friendly. This place is definitely a must Also has a great happy hour.
Had the platter of 3 meat selection, ribs, chicken, and brisket. All were so delicious and smokey! Service was great, hostess was really on top of everything. Will be back!
