Popie Redds

I hadn't been back to Popie Redd's in a while and I'm glad to report that the bbq and sides are just as delicious as ever. I ordered a pork rib platter and a wing platter, each with two sides. Both the wings and ribs are fall off the bone with tasty sauces. The greens are tangy and mustardy, the beans are rich & sweet and the mac & cheese is creamy. Its legit. I even enjoyed hanging out and watching Leave it to Beaver while waiting for my food. Thanks for a yummy dinner, Popie! I'll be burping smoke later and thanking you again.

Terrible service and food. Found a hair in my potato salad. Very interesting manner that the owner displayed. Not welcoming at the least, maybe just a bad day? Either way I'd rather go to showcase even if it is farther away.

I placed an order but almost immediately after posting I get a message that the order can't be filled? Guess I'll eat chicken some other day

Their BBQ chicken is absolutely amazing!!! Go there and support this local black business! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

Excellent flavors! Eaten from here couple times but the food is so good that it doesn't last until a picture can be taken. Finally able to this time. Ordered Half pork ribs-- fall off the bone tender, with a beautiful rub. Sauces were House spicy & Bourbon ((lightly sweet))-- both went great with the ribs. Sides were: corn bread, collards & potatoe salad-- I do not believe these need any explanation, if you've tried these you'd know! Still.... Oh so wonderful!! Last time we had the Candied Yams which were so good! A bit extra sweet if you like it that way. I'm so surprised this place not once popped up in our BBQ searches until we moved to forest hills. But maaannnnn you have got to go here! Family owned, cooked from scratch. Worth every buck. I have to go back & tell them a thank you.

Great food! Super friendly owner. Our group ordered a half slab of ribs, a hamburger sub, an Italian sub, and a cheesesteak. They have 10 different types of BBQ sauce. We really enjoyed our lunch and would definitely stop back in when back in Pittsburgh,

Hello, as of 3/22/2023 I have went here today on a whim. The food was very good, I had ordered the special with the 2x bones/ribs, 2x sides, etc. The owner(s) welcomed me with open arms and were extremely kind. So you may be asking me why exactly am I giving this wonderful restaurant a "1 star" review? Well, I suddenly met a guy there named UNCLE NEW YORK who proceeded to insist that he shows us a MAGIC TRICK. After watching his trick for about 10 minutes or so, and then finishing my meal, he tried to bum me for tips because I witnessed his trick. Afterwards, he begged me to give him a ride back home "up the hill" as he calls it. Once I tried to drop him off at his apartments, he then told me that he needed money. So being the empathetic person that I am, I drove to a nearby bar which he claimed to have an ATM. Once I was at this extremely shady bar and walked in with him, I withdrew a $20. He then tried to get all of my $20, so I gave him half and booked it in my car and got the hell of Forest Hills as quickly as I could.Please do not offer this man:1. A ride2. MoneyHe made me very uncomfortable today.PS & TL;DR: Food is good, owners are cool. Beggar needs to go away.

Drove here twice. Place was closesd during normal business hours both days. When is it really opened? Please update website with the correct days and times it's open. Thanks

Everything to love about this place. Food is excellent. Really authentic BBQ. Staff was outstanding. Very helpful and d friendly. Casual atmosphere but that was perfect for the the food. Prices very fair. I can not wait to go back!! I had the smoked chicken that fell off the bone. Don't even need utensils. Sweet n spicy Beans were crazy good, like nothing I've had before. Cornbread - perfect. Great job!

I happen to be in the area working today around lunchtime and decided to stop in. I actually could smell the ribs cooking before they even opened and boy did it smell great First, very nice owner and I enjoyed having a conversation with him. I ordered a sample of the ribs, 1/2 chicken, macaroni and cheese and he included a piece of their cornbread. His signature sauce was phenomenal in the ribs were everything I hope they would be. The chicken tasted delicious and was very moist inside. The mac & cheese was like mama used to make. I am not usually a big fan of cornbread but I can tell you, I've never tasted anything like this before, it was almost like eating candy! You must try the cornbread. Again, you must try the corn bread You absolutely must give this place a try, they know what they're doing when it comes to delicious food!
