Man, this barbecue joint is a banger. Just on the outer edge of Homewood sits this testament to meat smoking, and I feel like an idiot for not trying it sooner. I had the ribs and wings combo, along with greens and mac/cheese as a side and left completely stuffed, having spent much less than most places around Pittsburgh. My only regret was getting the sauce (which was very good) on the side, as it was put on very heavy....more my issue than anything, as I was asked. Customer service was good, the ladies were very friendly, didn't feel too rushed at all. I've already recommended this place to a half-dozen other folks around the city. Stellar, best ribs in Pittsburgh, ya heard? read more

Everything was great. We got the rib and wing dinner with mac & cheese and cabbage. Mac & cheese taste like it just came out of someone's oven. It was amazing. Cabbage could have used a little bit more seasoning, but it was still really good. We also got the turkey ribs and green beans. Turkey ribs were amazing very tender, cooked amazingly. In their cornbread. Something about it. It was delish. Service was very fast. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30. There's no place to eat inside however they do have a few tables outside. Especially if you love the smell of bbq cooking on a charcoal grill, iykyk. read more

they still got it! sides are the best in the business. i liked their sweeter BBQ sauce with slightly less mustard but whatever, it's still the dopest BBQ for hundreds of miles read more

Have known about this spot for years and finally made my way down. What a fucking disappointment Been told to go a FUCK TON since I started introducing y'all to Tastefully Blessed. I now know none of you who recommended this have been there. Also told how it's gone downhill, a shame Before any of you complain in the comments suck my dick. I leave honest food reviews. Don't say I do it for views because all of my negatives ones get worse views than the others The Ribs legit just reminded me of what my father would make. They're fine yeah. But to say they're the best ?? Fuck off. A good rib doesn't need gallons of BBQ sauce to make it enjoyable The Brisket was supposed to be a sandwich but they didn't have bread. No excuses though, brisket itself wasn't crazy flavored or melt in your mouth The sides though were all insane minus the Mac n cheese. That just tastes like something I'd have in a cafeteria Cornbread absolutely loved. I'm a fan of when cornbread has that corn taste still and not overbearingly sweet. Also not crumbling in hands. Perfect Potato salad. Had that mustard in it. That's how it should be. Yams.. shut the fuck yo Plus since was all of my food was $32 I won't be returning read more

My family typically gets a large of pan of ribs from Showcase for family gatherings. Today, my partner and I went to the restaurant and ordered single meals. Eating it super fresh was even better! The barbecue sauce is a bit tangy for me, but the meat is gold. While there was a long line that stretched around the block, it moved relatively quickly. The service was quick and efficient. I'd recommend the pork ribs and Mac n cheese. If you want beef ribs, you have to call 2 hours in advance. There are outdoor tables and chairs for you to eat at, but currently no indoor dining. The ribs were smoked to perfection, charred in all the right places. The Mac n cheese was very cheesy, perhaps not all the way done with blocks of cheese but still good. And the yams weren't my favorite but still good. Without a doubt, I'll be back for the ribs. read more

We need to invent a 6th star for this place, y'all. WOW. I grew up in the South, and this BBQ is the *real deal*. We grabbed takeout (other than a handful of outside tables, that's your only option) last night for me, my husband, and a neighbor/friend. You know this place is successful when you pull up and the 1st thing you see is - not 1, not 2, but *3* smoker grills going to town - heavenly smoke & aromas billowing out. We all positively DEVOURED the food. We got a full rack of pork ribs -- all perfectly smoky, perfectly cooked. Juicy, flavorful. Sauce on the side was a tangy mustardy BBQ. My relatives (from NC) always used a vinegar base, so this was new to me and excellent. The 12 chicken wing option comes w/ 2 large sides. First --- THE WINGS --- omg, the best I've ever had. Hands down. Same for my hubs. Just WOW. Perfectly spiced. They needed ZERO sauce. Our sides were great, too: collard greens (perfect cooked - not mushy or bitter), oh-so-flavorful baked beans, and excellent potato salad that almost had the appearance of mashed potatoes. Next time we go, we plan to try the fabulous looking mac and cheese. Just an excellent meal from this no-frills establishment. A super simple menu that needs no additions. They even do catering. The service was super friendly, especially given how super busy it was! There were about 10 people in front of us when we walked in at around 2pm. We could barely get in the door. But the line moved fast. Cannot WAIT to return. (PS --- there are no food pics, cuz we *housed* the food before I remembered to snap pics! Whooops! Never mind -- JUST DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO!!). read more

Ordered the Chicken and Rib combo with two small sides. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the ribs were okay. Not tender no smoke ring. Red beans and rice are a must but the Mac n cheese was basic. I ordered a brisket sandwich with no bread brisket taste like dry roast beef do not waist your money. read more

Showcase BBQ - Overcooked terrible brisket... !!! Then had the nerve to charge a high price for overcooked roast beef.. - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

First time visit after seeing a KDKA news story...what a great experience! The rib's with their sauce is wonderful and full of flavor. I definitely recommend this authentic experience. Unfortunately take out only, but they do have four tables outside when the weather is nice, or in the shade today during this heat wave. I will definitely be back to try more of the sides, as today I only experienced the 1/2 rib with greens and mac & cheese. The food here is a five star experience! read more

Ribs were phenomenal like always I didn't care for the taste of the Mac n cheese tho tho it is cheesy and creamy my chicken wings were also overcooked read more

Fantastic ribs, smoked wings, and turkey ribs. Had a variety of meats and sides... everything was a hit! You will not be disappointed.

Amazing bbq fast service only flaw is no where to eat inside really but you're sure to enjoy all the food

This place is slinging awesome BBQ items. I got ribs and wings. The ribs were super tender, still had a nice body to them, and were nicely smoky. The wings were likewise very tender and juicy. All around I found great execution at Showcase. And points to them for blaring NWA and Naughty by Nature in their shop. This place is awesome. read more

This place is amazing. You want legitimately addictive BBQ? You don't have to go to St. Louis or Austin for that!! Their ribs are insanely delicious. I'm talking about... Fall. Off. The. Bone. Ribs. Their dry rub is amongst the best I've ever had, even Rendezvous in Memphis. Folks are friendly, skilled, and ready to get your belly filled. Mac and cheese was probably the best I've ever gotten from any restaurant. Cornbread was ridiculous - made me want to eat it for days. You need this place, and in COVID times, they need you. You know what to do! read more

It's Saturday morning and I'm riding around the area on a bike thanks to Open Streets Pittsburgh. I spot a BBQ place and see the grills outside working. It's 10 AM...I will be back for you! After I did my loop around, I head back and find the place bustling with fellow bikers. I park the Schwinn and get in line (it's out the door now). As I'm waiting the BBQ aroma gets stronger. Hmm...what to get. I stand in line reading the menu, watching and overhearing what others are thinking. As I get closer for them to take my order, I see a fresh pan of mac and cheese come out. It has a generous cheese throughout and a light brown layer on top. Yes, please! I also hear, "This is it for the pulled pork." It's not yet 12 pm and they've been busy serving hungry bikers. I'm up. Because I want to try a bit of everything and couldn't order a kids meal as an adult (not in sound mind), I opted for 2 pork ribs, 3 wings, and two side dinner: mac and cheese and greens. "We're out of greens. How about green beans or broccoli and cheese?" Green beans, please. $10--of goodness. Seats outside were taken by other hungry folks, so I sat at a high top inside neat the open garage door. On this day I people watched as much as the people in line watched me eat. The plate is so big! Portions mare HUGE! The ribs were so big and tasty. Definitely slow cooked bbq, you could taste the smoke. I ate both, but it was an effort to do so. Sadly, I couldn't eat more protein and saved the wings for later. There is still the sides to eat. The mac and cheese was glorious as expected from seeing the new pan come out. The green beans were excellent! I generally am not a fan, but the flavors and hint of spice made it a wonderful side. I'd definitely be back! Here are some tips: - This is a to the point kind of place. Ingredients cost money, they'll let you know by the signs on the wall. Personally, I appreciate this. - Ribs are turkey or pork. State your preference when ordering. - Sides don't have pork in them. - Cornbread is available and is extra. - Don't be on the phone and ordering. It's just rude and they have signs to ask you not to do so. read more

Showcase BBQ - 2 ribs, 3 wing, and 2 sides for $10 - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Really good barbecue with a South Carolina style mustard based sauce. I'm not usually a fan of sauces with a mustard taste but this had just the right mixture of tang and spices. I had the 4 ribs with sides of mac 'n cheese and baked beans plus a piece of cornbread. The ribs were good but don't expect fall off the bone - you're going to have to work at these and get more than a little messy - but it's worth it. The mac 'n cheese was good but a little bland for my taste and it congealed pretty quickly. The baked beans had a nice vinegar tang. The cornbread was good but nothing popped in it. Outside there are three tables with chairs on the sidewalk. It ain't fancy but it's plenty good and you should give it a try. read more

Yummy food, mad fresh. What's not to love? I had the ribs and wings and they did not disappoint. There's also a decent amount of sides which is nice. The food portions are huge, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. 10 out of 10! read more

This place is a joke. The customer service is horrible. When you want to support your own people, but they can't multitask enough to take an order over the phone and handle customers? How unprofessional can you be..... oh wait, you showed me when you left me on hold and tired up the line with your speaker not muted. So I heard everything that went on for about a good 15 minutes. Long enough for someone to offer assistance. The only help I got was from a guy whom I'm assuming is a cook, but the females who work the front, they need to be replaced. Food ain't worth the attitude or shitty service. read more

Generous portions and delicious flavor! Ordered online and picked up in the store. Food was timely and ready upon arrival! Local delicacy. Outdoor seating! read more

Stopped by for the first time after dropping my son off to school. I had the ribs, potato salad, and red beans and rice dinner. The food was delicious!! The barbecue sauce was a perfect blend of tangy and sweet. The best barbecue I have had in a while. Will definitely visit again. The staff were friendly and accommodating. read more

This place SLAPS!!! Best BBQ I've had in Pgh. Nice outdoor seating, friendly staff, and quality food. Highly recommend!!! read more

The owner here is a BULLY. He bullies every rack of ribs into tenderness. My man is out in the weather all year round to make sure that you get juicy BBQ. Excellent. read more

Food is amazing and sells out fast. It's best to call ahead and order. Environment is nice and calm even though it's busy.

Devoured before I could get a picture. Super quick service and such good barbecue. Their baked beans are the GOAT

Delicious!!! The ribs and the chicken wings are messy to eat but once you have a bite, it's hard to stop especially when lathered with the special sauces. Both the ribs and the chicken wings have a strong smoky taste. They were well seasoned. The chicken was juicy and tender and the ribs were slightly tough. They gave us two kinds of sauces - one was quite spicy and the other was on the sweeter side, tasted like homemade bbq sauce. The combination of the sauces along the meat was excellent. I recommend one part spicy sauce mixed with two parts sweet, mild sauce. Right as we parked near the restaurant, we saw smoke billowing from the grills adjacent to the restaurant. Once we stepped inside, there was already a queue. We didn't have to wait too long to get our food. Most people took their food to go. There is some seating space but I think it would feel a little uncomfortable to sit and eat there given the small size of the restaurant. Next time when I'm craving bbq, this is the place I will visIt. read more

The pork ribs were tender and juicy and had the BBQ smoky flavor. Really enjoyed the sauce, different then most others I have had. I think just a hint of mustard but a variety of flavors. The Mac & Cheese is OK. Had the Baked Beans and they are terrific, Spicy, With Peppers. Paid $1.00 for a piece of cornbread that was moist & pretty good. Staff was friendly and helpful when asking about the sides. We sat outside at a table. Luckily it was one of the last warm days of the year. read more

Must have been an off day or something. The brisket was TOUGH and barely seasoned. The cabbage was extra soft and tasted like the broth instead of the actual cabbage. I came home, used the meat tenderizer, sprinkled some Montreal on it and did a quick oven broil. My friend raved about this place but it fell flat... read more

Three of us shared a half order of pork ribs and a half order of turkey ribs (which were super special). It was the perfect portion. The sauce is like a sweet , and spice honey mustard brown sauce, not the usual tomato based bbq sauce. The meat was tender, Smokey, and not fatty at all. The place has a nice community feel to it. It's mostly a take out spot but with pleasant umbrella covered tables on front. Definitely a local treat. read more

Wow! This place is awesome! I haven't had ribs this good since I was in Alabama! This place nails it! I got a half rack meal and could hardly eat it all. The ribs were lean and meaty and smoked to perfection!! I used to frequent a couple lace called Dreamland in Alabama, and this guy is right up there with them! The collard greens were excellent also. The serving size for money was really generous and the sauce is a unique mustard base that you might want in the side if you're a rookie like I was. I was enjoying pedal pgh and it took me right past the front door, so I took a second lap and stopped for lunch! I enjoyed the food, talking to the owner, and just taking it all in. I have hit Yinzburgh a few times and it was good, so was Walter's in Lawrenceville, but this is much better q, and a good value too. I'll be back soon! Check it out!! read more

BBQ doesn't photograph well and that's how it should be. This meal was messy, flavorful and a delight to eat. Usually I can't finish a home style meal. I also feel gross afterwards, regretting all the calories I just consumed. After eating my 2 bone, 3 wing dinner with yams, baked beans and corn bread... I feel compelled to write this review. It was amazing! This may be the best BBQ place I've tried in Pittsburgh. My favorite part was definitely the chicken. The meat was so tender, it fell off the bone practically after I bit into it. There was a delicious smoky taste that danced in harmony with the rub. The sauce that smothered the ribs and chicken was sweet yet not overwhelming. There was a good balance of tanginess which made the meat so easy to eat. The ribs also had a lot of meat to them. The baked beans were tasty and sweet. There were little bits of vegetables (maybe peppers?) and meat within the beans. I have to be honest- they were really good and I ate them so fast I don't remember much else. The yams were good, very sweet, almost syrupy sweet. They were my least favorite part of the meal but was still very good. The corn bread was enjoyable and shockingly moist! It was not very sweet at all and I enjoyed that I was able to still taste corn. Towards the end of my meal, I put my remaining corn bread into the yam syrup and it made a very tasty dessert. I'm already thinking about the next time I should visit! read more

My wife and I were on the hunt for a new BBQ joint following the closing of a local favorite Wilson's BBQ due to fire when I ran across an article about Showcase BBQ. So I hit up Yelp which confirmed this was a place we had to pay a visit and with the help of Google Maps we made the trip. First let me say despite the store being packed I had no problem finding a parking place. The customers were lined to the door and the aroma of everything barbecued was in the air. We ordered a full slab, yams, potato salad and greens all of items were on point when it came to overall taste and texture, the ribs were smoky and the sauce which was a mustard base sauce which was a first for me was excellent although I thought it could have been thinned out a bit. Showcase BBQ has the potential to become a popular mainstay, I haven't seen so many customers lined up for food since visiting Roscoe Chicken and Waffles in Long Beach. Five stars! read more

Showcase BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I freakin' love this place. I lived in Pittsburgh for two years and this was my favorite place to eat. I got it for my birthday meal, and I got it for my graduation dinner. It's the best. Get either their pork or beef ribs with mac & cheese and yams as the sides. You will not ever regret that. Pro-tip: mix their hot and sweet BBQ sauces together for maximum awesomeness Note: if you want beef ribs, order the day before so they can make them for you. I once got lucky that someone hadn't picked theirs up and came away with some day-of, but usually you've got to pre-order. read more

Best bbq and ribs in Pittsburgh hands down. Sauce is amazing, excellent choice of sides, all delicious.

Stopped in for a treat while in the neighborhood. Ribs and chicken were amazing. Really enjoyed the greens. Mac and cheese was really over salted, seemingly accidentally, because I eat food more salty than anyone I know... The place is so nice and bright, really cheerful, and really easy to keep distance during Covid times! I wanted cornbread, but there seemed to be a miscommunication, now I have an excuse to go back! Yum! It helps that Strong's Cleaners is close by!! read more
