South Side BBQ Company — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

I thought the food was quite tasty and the prices were pretty awesome. It's a simple type of place, nothing too unique or extravagant. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a side of sweet cornbread.

Both items were very tasty. The pulled pork sandwich came in a nice portion. The price was awesome at just $9. They had a great ratio of meat to bread. The bottom layer of bread was completely soaked from the moistness of the pork, though.

The meat itself was tender and decently flavorful. Not too fatty thankfully. Their BBQ sauce is very standard and not my favorite, but it did add some solid flavor to the sandwich. The sandwich also has some coleslaw, which is nice. It's already included with the meat.

The cornbread was quite good as well. Not too crumbly, but I do still wish it were more moist. I loved the cinnamon butter they served with it! Still warm when I got home from the drive. And so, so delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. Tasted almost like cake.

All in all, I definitely enjoyed this place. Very good meat and cornbread. It's a solid spot that anyone seeking BBQ should try out at least once. Reasonable prices and good...

I wouldn't recommend this place my sister was throwing up in going to the bathroom she's not from here the BBQ isn't real in the owner is racist they try to make my step aunt pay for a meal that some guy didn't want or even eat they called the owner we waited for him to come and sort things out he came in short in chunky getting smart without knowing the issue then called the cops the guy that didn't want the food came in an the owner try to calm down and to add insult to injury before that he told mysister she couldn't use the restroom so I then told her to use it in we recorded him he try to act as if he didn't say she couldn't pee he then started recording tryn to act as if he didn't say certain things if we were from Pittsburgh we would have pursuit a lawsuit the cops came an did nothin it's said that he acted the way he did it's bad enough some cops are killing ppl for no reason his business isn't gonna last long anyway PS my sisters thinking about puttin the video on the advise Show on utube so y'all can go watch it...

Highly disappointed in the quality. Not sure if smoked means that some smoke blew around the meat or what but the flavor is lacking. The ribs have minimal flavor and minimal meat(expected with st louis to some degree). The pulled pork has a texture of coming from a frozen bag, reheated and then some greasy sauce poured on it. The brisket is an atrocity that is chopped to hide the fact that its not actually smoked properly and again smothered in sauce. The sauce lacks any zing. It taste like a bottle of ketchup with some cracked pepper added in The catfish was undercooked with a doughy ring inside. The sauce was decent The greens were bland The mac and cheese was less enjoyable than my easy mac that I had for lunch

I have traveled all over the world and eaten BBQ. I was born and raised in the south. I know what real BBQ taste like. And this, at SSBBQ, is not it. I will have to say thats it the second worst BBQ I have ever had, just in front of DJs...
