Pork & Beans

The best barbecue I’ve had so far in Pittsburgh. They offered tons of beer options for a great price. The brisket was very tender and flavorful. The pimento mac and cheese was awesome! Would definitely recommend to get as a side. For dessert I ordered the bourbon brown sugar pie and it was so sweet and tasty. Only thing that would have made the pie better was if it was heated. Overall, was a great time and I will be back.

Sarah was an amazing, fun, attentive, knowledgeable server. Helped us figure out the menu and what to order in what quantities as we'd never been there. Food: phenomenal & without the need to cover in sauces. Drinks: creative delicious combinations.

Fantastic restaurant downtown by Olive or Twist. Great bartenders and food. The interior is a cool layout with a lively vibe. Try the pimento cheese with a whole sleeve of Ritz crackers. The catfish sliders, phenomenal. Lastly, the Mac & cheese is like eating a thick malted shake. Delicious!

Pork shoulder was very good- moist and tender. Sauces also very good. Fries decent, almost extra crispy for those that may like them that way, but not really to my liking, but made tolerable by soaking them in the tasty sauces. Prices on the side dishes seemed high but most other items seemed reasonably priced. My server was very nice and checked often if all was OK or if I needed anything else, so that's a plus too. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

Very cool and casual place with awesome pork, beef and chicken. Love the crab fritters and dirty fries which was topped with BBQ sausage, cheese, jalapeños, onions and scallions. We ordered 5 types of meats: pulled pork, pork belly pastrami, beer can chicken, and beef tri-tip (the last was my personal fave). Very good beer selection - just pick 4 to create your own flight. Service was pretty good. Men's and Ladies restrooms have a funky set up.

A sister restaurant to one which was already my favorite in PGH (Meat and Potatoes), Pork and Beans has an interior with much more subdued lighting (save the neon for the restrooms!), a much more rustic flavor (your bill comes in a literal steel can of pork and beans for instance), and food every bit as flavorful and wonderful as I had hoped. When we came, there was a bit of a wait for the food - but it was worth it. We had drinks that were akin to a summer time freeze pop made into an alcoholic slushy, and sinfully delicious and hot pork rinds (seriously, give them a try!) before the main course. You probably don't need to add on sides to whatever you get, unless you're sharing it family style - which is an encouraged method! Not a thing was bad about what I shared with friends here. We'll be going back again when we're in town, for sure.

We stopped here to eat before we went to see Shen Yun on March 7, 2019. It was surprisingly quiet for a Thursday night before a pens game, but we were there early. We did not have a reservation, but due to the early hour and there were only 3 of us it did not apper to be an issue. The food was all amazing as well as the ice cream sandwiches! The staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu. We will be coming back again soon!

While everything was okay, nothing was over the top amazing. Service was decent. My pulled pork was crazy salty. The dirty fries didn't have much flavor going for them. The sides with dinner definitely weren't anything special. The best thing was probably the jalapeno cheddar kielbasa my husband had. Overall spent way more money for something I probably would have preferred from a local basic BBQ joint.
