A great place to snag a bite outside Acrisure before a game! There was no line and no wait for food, which is hard to find inside and out the stadium! The brisket sandwich was great and I added more BBQ sauce, and the Mac hit the spot and came out steaming hot from the smoker! read more

I stopped here with my parents at their location on Brownsville road on Friday. I drive past it everyday on my way home I thought it was time to check it out. I got a brisket sandwich and coleslaw. I thought both were really good! The only downside they have here is there's no beer lol the menu is limited but I found the food to be good and I'd try it again. The service was also very friendly. read more

Bad Azz BBQ - Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ribs were fall off the bone, BBQ sauce is good but need more sauce. Got a whole chicken also. A bit dry without the sauce. Corn bread is good. The bad part is I had a $70 Order, they offer a coupon on their flyer (which I didn't have with me) but didn't offer the discount to me even after I mentioned I get the flyers all the time in the mail. It was my first time patronizing the restaurant. read more

Decided to try Bad Azz while I was at USC Rotary Farmer's Market. I decided to grab the pulled pork sandwich with the baked beans. The sandwich came pre sauced and was a good portion. The baked beans were also a good portion and an additional charge. As a BBQ affecianado I've been looking for a spot in town. Bad Azz fell a little flat. The pork was tender but I didn't get any of the smokey wood flavor. The sandwich was presauced. The sauce was sweet and not bad but I prefer a tangy vinegar based sauce with some heat. The baked beans were flawless. A good amount of sauce and nice mix of beans. Overall it wasn't horrible just not what I expected after seeing their set up and smelling the wood as soon as I arrived. read more

They may buy all of their food from Cosco, but they select the best chicken and corn bread I have had in a while, haha. I did not know about that until after I ate here, but it all tasted good to me. I guess with a name that is mis-spelled and is a swear word I wouldn't expect them to be polite, have good manners, or customer service. They were o.k. I just wish that they made their food instead of buying it from Cosco, that is pretty messed up. read more

Was were at a Farmers Market and BAzz had a stand, so we decided to not cook and take some home. We had a whole chicken, 1/2 rack of ribs and some Mac & Cheese. The chicken is large. Larger then most places and very tasty with some smoke flavor. They put a little of the sauce on top, but I wish there was a tad more sauce. The ribs were tender and good. The Mac & Cheese has a little sharper cheese, which I prefer. All in all, a good dinner and lots of leftovers. read more

My fiancé and I stopped by during rib fest to try their food for the first time with high hopes. It was nice to see so many women behind the counter and knowing it's a Pittsburgh company, we were intrigued! Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed. Not only were the ribs barely warm and mushy, but they were also covered in COLD sauce which made them even more unappealing. Really wanted to love them, but we forced ourselves to eat a few bites then threw it out. It was by far the worst ribs we tried out of 3 different places at rib fest. We hate to waste money like that when we don't have money to waste. read more

Texture and flavor are both off. Service is mediocre. There are better options and better prices easily found

This shouldn't be called barbecue. I've had hungry man tv dinners that taste better than this food. This is the applebees equivalent to bbq. They take precooked chicken from costco and pretend like they cook it themselves. This chicken is no smoked. They douse it with mediocre sauce and pretend like they did anything. This place is a sham and you should stay far away. read more

Bad Azz BBQ - They buy all of their chicken from Costco and pretend like they cook it themselves - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I would stay away from this place. I've had it before and it was a terrible excuse for bbq. The food was dry and was not flavorful like true bbq. They also buy pre cooked food at Costco and re sell it, which is both hilarious and infuriating. read more

Horrible, horrible food!! How can you call it the best!?!?!The ribs were so TINY!! Literally we got 3 bones with very little meat on them.. Their chicken was way overdone, the dog wouldn't even eat it. The beans were from a can and the Mac and cheese tasted frozen. We spent A LOT of money there today and we are totally disgusted!! Save your money!! read more

I visited Bad Azz BBQ's stand during the annual Rib Fest at Heinz Field last Mon. Having seen at Bloomfield Little Italy Days that they were the defending Rib Fest champion, I was eager to try them out. Unfortunately for me, so was everyone and their brother, given that they had the longest line of all the rib stands that I walked by. However, I'm willing to wait for great BBQ, so I decided to bite the bullet and get in line. It took about half an hour to make it to the front of the line and receive food, but it was worth the wait when it comes to ribs. A friend and I split a half rack of ribs ($15), plus baked beans and mac and cheese ($3 each). The ribs were perfectly cooked, falling off the bone easily when we dug in. They came pre-sauced, and the sauce was delicious--it was a vinegar-based tomato BBQ sauce. While the sides were okay, I must confess that I found them a bit underwhelming, given the price. The mac and cheese noodles were on the mushy side, and had less sauce than I'd like. The baked beans were spicy, due to red pepper flakes present in the sauce. While I'm not opposed to spicy food, spiciness in baked beans seemed out of place from a BBQ stand. Overall, I enjoyed my meal from Bad Azz BBQ. I'd order their ribs again for sure, but would steer clear of the sides in the future. If you see their stand, I'd encourage you to give it a try, since they have some of the best BBQ ribs in PGH, for sure. read more

My parents went to your restaurant this afternoon and they LOVED their meal. I called them from Los Angeles and they told me the food they ordered was delicious! Well done! Can't wait to try your food when I visit them. Pittsburgh needed a BBQ place. read more

This place was part of the Corks and Kegs festival at The Meadows Race Track and Casino. I'm always up for a good BBQ pace so opted to give this a try. Almost always I go with pulled pork or chicken. They were already sold out of chicken when I got there (good sign) and thought I'd go with ribs. I rarely choose ribs because I don't like to fight for my food. More often than not ribs have the meat so attached to the bone it's hardly worth the effort. Boy was I happy that I chose them this time! I ordered a half rack for $11. A real value since the bones slid right out and I was left with a ton of meat that was extremely tender and smoked really nicely. Just enough smoke to still taste the meat. BBQ sauce was sweet with a hint of spice. I like both sweet and hot so this was a good balance. Happy I got in line early because this guy was BUSY! Only thing this place needed was four more hands to handle the crowd. I definitely would like to try more from Bad Azz. Have to imagine if the ribs were this great at a festival that in house is probably the bomb. I kinda want to see if I can pull out all the bones at once. BBQ party trick? If you see Bad Azz out and about at a festival, it's worth the taste. read more

Intitially, the food tasted really good. Not the best meat, not the worst, but high in flavor. We got ribs, chicken, mac and cheese, cole slaw, and cornbread. Everything was cold when we picked it up but we were hungry so we went with it. About halfway through the meal, there was a burning sensation in our mouths. The sauce must have had way too high of acidity because my group felt like their tongues had been scraped raw by the sauce. We ended up tossing the leftovers because of the sauce, which was sad because it was tasty. Unfortunately, not a repeat for us. read more

Bad Azz BBQ is not bbq they do not grill or smoked there meat most of there food is store bought from Costco rotisserie chicken and Mac & cheese etc I would have gave Bad Azz BBQ no stars for false advertisement this place isBAD for BBQ For all customers save your money and stay away read more

I received a coupon in the mail that said $25 off order $40 or more. So we thought thats a great incentive to try the bbq. When I tried to redeem the coupon I was advised that coupon should have said for catering. It was not honored but she did give me $10 which was the regular coupon. I could have just walked away but I decided to purchase the food anyway. I am not happy the coupon wasn't honored since I believe these advertisements are proof read and was sent out with the error on it. My husband believes this was a stunt. read more

Seen them coming out of Costco in homestead multiple times. Such a joke! They should be ashamed. Will never get their food again

Great food. Big portions. I tried the half chicken. It was delicious. If I ate leftovers, I could have had at least one more meal if not two. My husband got the pulled pork with mac & cheese. He loved it. Friends got the ribs. Huge portion and said they were delicious read more

We've been driving past Bad Azz BBQ for a couple years now on Becks Run Rd by Paige's Ice Cream. I thought they just catered but learned you can eat there too. We stopped there today after Sandcastle and had ribs, pulled pork, Mac N Cheese and Cole Slaw. Best ribs I've had in Pittsburgh! Cole Slaw was fresh and cold. The pulled pork was good as well, but my girlfriend and I both preferred the ribs. The sauce is awesome, dry rub is awesome, meat falls off the bone and no grizzley chewey fat stuff, nothing but bones left when we were done. I highly recommend this place! I think they close at 7pm and may run out of something earlier in the day, so get there early. Would make a good night to stop there for dinner and get ice cream at Paige's on your way out. read more

The ribs taste like Costco prepared ribs covered in generic spicy bbq sauce. There is no grilled look nor taste. The rack of ribs is $26 instead of advertised $23. Way too expensive for what you get (no sides). Nothing to write home about. Will not be back. read more

Best ribs I have ever had! I have visited them during the Rib Fest on multiple occasions and the rib flavor and sauce is the best around.

Was riding by and they happen to be open on Becksrun Tues & Fri 10-7 or til gone. They have a nice little seating area and it was a beautiful day to enjoy some Barbecued Ribs. Meat fell off the bone. Very tasty sauce. Will be stopping back to try more. read more

This place is now down on Becks Run Road by Paige's. This would be my first time stopping here but probably not my last. We got a whole rack of ribs half a chicken and two soda of Mac n cheese. The ribs were pretty good, the BBQ sauce wasn't bad either. The Mac n cheese was cheesy and the half chicken was good. My overall opinion on this place is not great but not bad either. If you're looking for a quick BBQ fix and don't want to travel far. This is a decent local spot to grab something from. read more

Costco chicken covered in Azz's sauce. When you Google them you can click on "reviews" & see a picture of the proof that they buy precooked & then transport unrefrigerated to be reheated on their equipment. I found that review because I got sick from their food myself & wanted to see if anyone else had reported a similar experience. Obviously the food was not properly refrigerated the whole time. Maybe unclean hands or utensils added to the contamination too - I don't know, but I know I won't buy from them again. read more

All I can say is, I recently saw 2 people wearing BAD AZZ BBQ t-shirts in COSTCO buying about 30 rotisserie chickens - the already cooked ones - not raw chickens. If they sell premade Costco Chickens as their 'quality BBQ' I think I will go somewhere else... read more

Highly disappointed with my ribs at the Pittsburgh Rib Fest. They were bland and dry. I've had good smoked ribs prior to this experience. My fathers friend makes them, so I know good smoked ribs when I taste them and sadly for Bad Azz theirs definitely didn't make the cut. Also, the beans were too spicy and mushy and the Mac and cheese tasted like the kind you could purchase from giant eagle or Walmart. Not impressed. Not sure how they won any awards with these. read more

my ribs were cold today. I was already in my office, although 2 miles away. Could not turn around. :( Sauce was good. Beans were a little spicy. I'm sure if someone ate spicy unlike me, they would like them. read more

Truly an embarrassment to BBQ. Pulled pork was super dry no taste and no thought behind it. I gave them an extra star for attempting BBQ .

This was my stop at the Ribfest. Ribs fell off the bone and chicken was fantastic. Ribs are my choice whenever I go out. This is the top of my list. read more
