Wilson's Bar-B-Q

A family-owned business with a great tradition of serving the southern style foods that I crave.George Wilson Jr owned the Wilson's BBQ on N. Taylor in the War Streets. This new business is owned by his cousin, Ira Wilson.It's the same great food, and it's slow cooked traditional BBQ. George Wilson Sr brought his family recipes from Arkansas. The sides are all wonderful, this is authentic BBQ that you will love. Your choice of sauce is spicy or mild, and I find that a mix is the heat level l like best.

Chicken was black/burnt and dryRibs were burnt and toughMac and cheese noodles were mushy Greens were too saltyGreen beans were okPotato salad was ok

Food was so so BBQ Sauce over powering and taste like nothing. To thick all they needed to do was give it proper love. The Macaroni and Cheese was basic with serious pinch of cheese and butter disgusting no love was placed in it. It reminds me. Could of been a generic box Mac and cheese prepared by someone who can't cook worth a damn. I would say a 9 year old child nothing but laziness sorry but true. Actually the greens had style and taste Mustard and Collard mixture do whatever you need to make your coins. First Visit on 10/11/2024. I would say a 2 in preparation of meat was BBQ probably that's it. I will not be returning wii look elsewhere.

Wilson's is back...up here at 2615 Perrysville Ave 12pm to 8pm Tuesday thru Saturday. Some of the best BBQ in the Burgh, Baby! Stop sleeping! They got Ribs, Brisket/Brisket sandwiches, Half/Whole chicken, and all of the side slapp. Come make Wilson's Great Again and support Black Owned Business!

Holy Sh#+.... Best ribs in town. Restaurant is super clean compared to any other BBQ in town. Almost had my 10 yr old crying they so good.

I was very excited when I heard that Wilson's was reopening. Unfortunately, this is not Wilson's, and not just because George Jr is nowhere to be found.The magic at Wilson's was slow, indirect cooking using their huge brick oven. This restaurant is direct-cooking the ribs on a grill in the street in front of the restaurant, which results in inadequate and uneven dissolving of the collagen in the ribs. They have entirely too much bite, with the typical gumminess of ribs that are cooked too quickly.The chicken was ok. You can get ok chicken anywhere.They said that they're using the family sauce recipe, but I'm skeptical. Either the Georges had the recipe wrong for all these years, or these new people are getting it wrong, but the sauce is not the same.The service was slow and unfriendly. That wouldn't have been a problem if the food had been good.Overall, it was a really disappointing meal. The old Wilson's was something special. This one is just another lackluster Pittsburgh rib joint.

Today was my first time going. I really liked it. My favorite item so far is the green beans they usually grill outside but it was raining so I walked in the place and it just seems like a normal black family cooking out to me. Im glad that I can at least trust them and I'm happy they are within walking distance. Everything was great

Wilson Bar-B-Q back in 90's was my go to but now I was kinda disappointed first thing no greens or potato salad so ordered green beans they where from can so you very salty not good now the bbq the chicken was tender it's was okay but no grill flavored or smoked and the ribs no bbq flavor or smoked flavor

LOVED IT!! Food was good. service was impeccable. Everyone was warm and welcoming ( no attitudes like some places). The chicken was well done, ( I like my eggs and wings fried hard). The chicken was perfect. Wasn't overpriced like some places. Beautiful day, sat at an outside table and enjoyed my food.

I was super excited to have a bbq place on the Northside. I was disappointed I got the chicken which was still raw. I had to cook it on the toaster oven when I got home. The mild sauce has a vInegar taste not good.unless they make adjustments I will not be going back.
