Big Rig’s Bbq - Monroeville

BBQ is expensive and I enjoy smoking my own meat, so I don't frequent many BBQ places. When I read the description for their Spicy Cowboy Burger, I HAD to try it! It was a good way to get a spicy burger with a slew of toppings as well their pulled pork and jalapeno cheese sausage.All I can say is that it was INCREDIBLE! Probably one of the Top 2 or 3 burgers that I have ever had!!! I upgraded from the fries to their mac cheese and it was incredible as well, also in the Top 2 or 3 that I have ever had! $20 is still a lot of money for a burger and fries, but when it comes with all the interesting vegetable and meat toppings and tastes as great as it did, it was well worth it! It is hard to out a price on great food, especially when you can't get the item anywhere else!!! You can tell that they have a passion for BBQ and their food shows it!

My go-to BBQ in the Pittsburgh Area. Not much in the BBQ space in the north hills, so when I visit family in the east side of the city I HAVE to stop here. Food is always good and well prepared. I get takeout and I have never had an issue with food missing or packaged improperly.Sides are just as good as the meats. Serving sizes are as expected and never spending too much money for not enough food. If you like BBQ you must stop here sometime.

We stopped here on a whim a couple weeks ago traveling to Ohio. The food and service was fantastic. I ordered to loaded cowboy potato with a side of cornbread, husband had the pulled pork with a side of baked beans and our teenage son had the brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac n cheese. We can definitely say it is some of the best bbq we’ve ever had. Our son loved it so much he asked that we stop on the way back home, and we did. Wish we could find BBQ like this in Northern Virginia!!

My husband and I got the pork belly burnt ends and brisket with a side of Mac and cheese and corn bread. Among all of this, the Mac and cheese was the weakest but that doesn't mean much given that it was still amazing. The corn bread was incredibly moist and flavorful. The burnt ends were new to me but I loved them. Crispy on the outside with some juiciness on the inside and the brisket was mouth watering. I was sad when we are everything but my goodness... It was so filling so I didn't need more.I haven't had this good of barbecue since I went to a small barbecue place in North Carolina years ago. This made me so happy and I will absolutely be returning with my husband whenever we can. I would give this higher stars if I could because I'm so glad we have such an amazing authentic barbecue restaurant so close.Thank you to the chef(s? and everyone as well for dedicating so much time every day to watching meats for hours to ensure they turn out this stellar. You're efforts do not go unnoticed. Everyone at your restaurant rocks!!!

Don't let the name fool you this place is high end BBQ conveniently tucked into a mini plaza down the street from the Rite Aid. Try the cornbread next time you go.Their cornbread is sumptuous and slightly sweet. It's substantial and fills you up quicker than you think!They do daily burger specials, posted on Facebook.Let me know if you want to see their Grilled Cheese Brisket and I'll make a return stop.Parking: Parking is tight. This little plaza is right across from Garden City Drive and to the right of the Rite Aid that's across from Jonnett Plaza.Be careful pulling in. Cross traffic turns onto Garden City drive, and the intersection up the hill is one of the busiest in all of Monroeville.There's a 3 spot parking area next to the telephone pole that I use because that's the safest place to pull out from.The parking in front of the Laundromat is extremely tight.
