In Short
Though there are a couple of tables available, Wilson's Bar-B-Q is a genuine Southern-pit barbecue, selling takeout almost exclusively. Slow-cooked meats include tender chicken and pork ribs. Meals come with spongy,… Read Full Editorial
Great food! by elebyn via Citysearch on 3/21/2012
Today was the first time I had been to Wilson's BBQ. A co-worker told me about the place and I must say it is down right good. I do wish their was more or a varity of side dishes. I would have loved to dip some homemade fries into the…
Great Neighborhood Joint by ohidontthinkso via Citysearch on 10/25/2011
I live in the same neighborhood as Wilsons and am so happy it is here.
There are not a lot of menu options, but that is ok because the food that they have available is outstanding. Instead of trying to do a million different things,…
One Dam Good Barbecue by Michaelthetaz via Citysearch on 8/13/2010
I got to know mr. Wilson, and his family by living in the northside on chateu street, back in the 90's, . The place sits off near Allegheny General Hospital, on the corner of Taylor, and Buenavista street. Is just a little place, a bit…
Pretty Bad by northsider via Citysearch on 5/25/2010
Well..I decided to try the place after hearing our neighbors comments..Gotta say ..interesting that the person defends her father and blasts folks for being on their Cell phone when she is doing it herself. Tried to be so gracious to her…
Not very good by pgh_foodie via Citysearch on 5/14/2010
I visited Wilson's with high hopes, but was very disappointed by the dry and tough ribs. Also I was very turned off by how dirty the place is. I did not want to touch the door, it was quite grimy and indeed pretty much every surface in…
I love this place by Mugshotz via Citysearch on 11/16/2009
I used to have an office in the North Side, and was looking for an authentic BBQ Place, (no watered down chain joints for me, thank you) I found Wilsons was only a few blocks away and went there one day for lunch. I can't say enough…
This is a real rib joint by Bbqstu via Citysearch on 3/9/2009
This is what barbecue should be those that think its rude need lessons on how to order food whether busy or not, the old style of ordering is "Have your money in your hand and your order on your mind". No its not fancy, but a good barbecue…
Pretty good.......best in the Burgh by drewbranham via Citysearch on 12/15/2008
I have been trying to find good 'real' BBQ since I moved to Pittsburgh and I think I found it at Wilson's. The flavor of the meat and sauce (both hot and mild) are outstanding. My only issue is that both times I was there the ribs were a…
WILSON'S BAR-B-Q by darfinney via Citysearch on 12/12/2008
TO THE HATERS OF OLDER PEOPLE. MY DAD HAS WORKED VERY HARD FOR HIS REPUTATION AND WE ARE THE BEST. HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YRS.. THERE IS NOT ANOTHER BAR-B-Q PLACE THAT CAN SAY THAT. ESP. HERE IN PGH..THERE IS A SIGN IN…
best ribs by patbrunick via Citysearch on 12/12/2008
His ribs are the best, the hot sauce is no joke! He has to be "rude" thats how he survived so long in that neighborhood. Your safe in his place, the hoods wont go anywhere near him!
DOWN RIGHT RUDE by RIBLOVE via Citysearch on 8/24/2008
THE RIBS ARE GOOD...SOMETIMES. YOU HAVE TO ORDER EVERYTHING AT ONCE OR THE OLD MAN GETS RUDE. ITS NOT LIKE THERE'S A LINE TO GET IN. THE SERVICE IS POOR.
Mr. Wilson on Steve Harvey's Radio Show by moonchildiva via Citysearch on 6/11/2007
I just heard Mr. Wilson on Steve Havey's radio show and he made me WANT TO COME TO PITTSBURGH today! A really fun interview and made my mouth water for his ribs! See ya soon, Mr. Wilson! I just might have to plan a vacation around…
Louisiana Recipe by pghinstpete via Citysearch on 4/30/2007
The ownner of Wilsons once told me that the recipe came from Louisiana during the slave days. I've taken several friends there over the days and they all raved. Everytime I make it to Pittsburgh I try to stop by Wilsons for the best ribs…
Best BBQ by tsg1 via Citysearch on 4/20/2006
I own a commercial smoker and I have eaten Ribs in Austin,Memphis, and KC. Best Ribs I have had are Wilson's.
Mouth-watering by Shadow14US via Citysearch on 7/2/2004
If your looking for REAL BBQ, then this is the place to enjoy your ribs or chicken. If you want commercial, then go elsewhere. The ribs fall off the bone and the smoked flavor will remind you of days gone by. Everytime I return to Pgh,…
