Route 8 Bbq - Allison Park

Great spot on Route 8! They offer a fantastic variety of grilled and smoked meats, all cooked to perfection. The meat is incredibly tender and literally falls off the bone. I highly recommend giving it a try; while it may not be to everyone's taste, if you enjoy gourmet Southern cuisine, you'll definitely appreciate this place.

This restaurant offers amazing food and excellent service. I've never encountered such a diverse selection of delicious BBQ sauces anywhere in Pittsburgh. Great job, everyone! I will definitely be back!

The parking is incredibly cozy, which is a nice bonus, and I appreciate that they seem to offer delivery—a huge plus if that's true! The service was fast, and the food was enjoyable. I have no complaints! Everything was delicious, and my children absolutely loved the mac and cheese.

We liked Rt. 8 Grill! Had burned ends, brisket some of the best ribs ever! Our waitress gave us small containers of every sauce that was a really nice touch! Great service! Look forward to a return especially for Happy Hour!

I'd been here back what it was Spadafora's and was not impressed. I really wondered if this place could be any good as well given the space is so small and, well, blah. It was much better than expected. The food was all very good. I saw many complaints about the brisket being dry but two in my party got brisket and it was very tender. The portions are very generous and the quality was excellent. I had baked beans and collard greens for my sides and liked both. I could have easily made two meals out of what I got. And the atmosphere, while still a bit cramped and loud, suits the restaurant much better. I think they could easily move to a larger location and fill the place out. Only complaint is that they have a small draft selection, but with all drafts $3 including craft beers during happy hour I wasn't complaining.
