Off the Rails Barbeque & Drafthouse

The atmosphere is very low-key but don't be fooled. They have lots of beer choices and a varied menu. Every item we ordered was excellent. Brisket nachos, pork quesadilla, and brisket grilled cheese were very tasty. The collard greens might have stolen the show...just the right amount of heat to jazz them up. We even had live entertainment!

After concluding that there was no way we were heading out for dinner on a Friday Valentines Day evening, we planned a little ahead for DoorDash to bring us Off the Rails BBQ. Everything traveled surprisingly well. The star of the show was definitely the ribs. Smoked to perfection, with great char and seasoning. The smoked chicken was also quite good. The brisket had potential. It tasted great but if given a do over, I would have skipped it as a sandwich and just ordered it as a half/full pound cut. The sides are perhaps where things didn't live up to the rest of the meal. The slaw was a bit too sweet for us. And the collard greens had a weird spice profile that didn't suit us. A bit too sweet and not enough savory. That said, mac and cheese was great. Would definitely order from Off the Rails again. Next time though, we'll try to make it a dine-in experience.

BBQ in Pittsburgh. Any good BBQ here is a rare find. This is a rare findNow it's not the best BBQ I've had but it's good. And for it being so far up north it makes it even betterThey were out of shaved brisket so I was only able to get shredded. Not the biggest fan of shredded brisket to begin with and this one had great flavor but was a tad bit dryThe ribs didn't effortlessly fall off the bone, needed a tiny tug. The sauce on them was flavored well and didn't need a bunch to hide the poor smoke process like a lot of places do (Mitch's)Mac n cheese had a tiny kick to it which I love and cornbread was decent but nothing to write home aboutDefo recommend it and would say it is the best BBQ in Pittsburgh but with that being said it's still Pittsburgh BBQ at the end of the day The cashier was helpful and the set up is a great sit down outside spot for an early night dinner. They had live music which is always a plus and the band didn't suck !!

Awesome bbq spot in Verona! They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. We got the mahi mahi and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were extremely filling and flavorful. The fries were excellent. They have a nice selection of sauces for you to dip in. Ok selection of beers to choose from. Perfect spot if you're craving that classic bbq food! Not sure why we didn't get actual bbq at a bbq place (LOL) but that just means we will have to make a trip back!

Absolutely obsessed.  Homemade, house-smoked barbeque.   The owners and staff are extremely sweet and friendly.  They do have indoor and outdoor seating which is super nice in the warmer months.  They do close in the one area for additional seating and have heaters so it's not too cold! The flavor, spices and way the items were prepared with absolutely delicious.  The meat melts right in your mouth.  Tried the wings- three jumbo smoked whole wings. They are slow cooked & flash fried. The pulled pork sandwich was incredible- slow smoked pork, tossed in a house Carolina cider mop piled on top of a Breadworks bun and Pittsburgh pickles. The brisket is a slow smoked Texas style brisket and we tried that on top of the creamy Mac and cheese. WOW- the brisket was so tender. And of course had to try their corn bread. Which came hot and totally hit the spot.

We came in on Wing Night and it was a really good deal! I ordered too much and got 6 wings since I've never been to their wing night before. They have a sign that says you can't take leftovers home so I hated that I wasted food here and couldn't take it home. I also had a tip added onto my card that I didn't authorize so I didn't like that. It's a really nice spot though with lots of outdoor seating, great selection of beer, large bbq menu, good prices, and great food. So we will definitely come back again to enjoy the warm weather and great bbq

Best barbecue around! Cool spot, live music, nice outdoor space, even better food! You order at a counter and then pick up your food at the same spot. Ribs and brisket are incredible. My husband only orders the brisket sandwich now because it's his favorite. The wings are to die for - smoked and then flash fried. They're $1 on Wednesdays! The Mac n cheese has such a good, peppery flavor. I recently had the pulled pork Mac n cheese and it was incredible. The homemade sauces are really good too. One time they had pulled chicken tacos as a special and they were so delish! I've never had a bad experience and will always go back when I have a craving for bbq!

We were in the area and decided to give it a try. Boy, were we glad we did!If you drive by, it first reminded me of an older diner. But that is not the case. With seating inside and outside, it is a great place for bar-b-que. The flavor was great and the meat melted in your mouth. Everything we tried was very tasty. The day we went was hot and very sunny. The owner came over to our table and moved our table to a slightly shaded area. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I know that the next time I go for barbecue, I'll be going back to Rails Barbecue & Drafthouse.

We had no intention on stopping here until a waft of delicious smells entered through our windows. So we quickly turned around and searched out that beautiful aroma.I had the brisket sammich with chips but you can upgrade to fries. Omg my taste buds tingled like no other. The sandwich and various sauces were completely on spot. I highly recommend this establishment and just sniff for it instead of using Waxe.

This place is amazingg! The location is easy to get to, right on a main drag with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and all around good vibes with live music outside. There's not many places with good barbecue in Pittsburgh and this place has nailed it! The food was absolutely phenomenal. The brisket is smoked to perfection and melts in your mouth. The pulled pork sandwich was also amazing with the Carolina gold sauce. The Carolina gold sauce was the perfect mix of Smokey barbecue and honey mustard. Service also quick and easy! You order your drinks and food at the counter and find yourself a table, unless you choose to sit at the bar. If you're into having a drink, they have plenty of beers to choose from!TLDR;Food - 1000/10Service - 5/5Ambiance - 5/5
