Southside Bbq Company

Listen, we're not in Kansas anymore. I'm under no illusion that you're going to get real southern BBQ anywhere in Pennsylvania, let alone smack in the middle of the city. So maybe it was because my expectations weren't sky high, but regardless, I was blown away by this joint!! The ribs are fall-off-the-bone, the pulled pork is juicy and flavorful, and the sides are worth the extra cash (particularly the baked beans)! No wonder the door was swinging open all night. I'll be coming back for round two!

I thought the food was quite tasty and the prices were pretty awesome. It's a simple type of place, nothing too unique or extravagant. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a side of sweet cornbread. Both items were very tasty. The pulled pork sandwich came in a nice portion. The price was awesome at just $9. They had a great ratio of meat to bread. The bottom layer of bread was completely soaked from the moistness of the pork, though. The meat itself was tender and decently flavorful. Not too fatty thankfully. Their BBQ sauce is very standard and not my favorite, but it did add some solid flavor to the sandwich. The sandwich also has some coleslaw, which is nice. It's already included with the meat. The cornbread was quite good as well. Not too crumbly, but I do still wish it were more moist. I loved the cinnamon butter they served with it! Still warm when I got home from the drive. And so, so delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. Tasted almost like cake. All in all, I definitely enjoyed this place. Very good meat and cornbread. It's a solid spot that anyone seeking BBQ should try out at least once. Reasonable prices and good portions, too.

My wife and I booked the South Side BBQ Food Truck for our wedding reception this past weekend. It was excellent! On the day of the event, Pat and his team were a hit, delivering great food and service to our guests. They were on time and professional throughout the event. Even better than the food was Pat's patience and willingness to walk me through the process of booking his truck. He was extremely responsive and kind and made sure I received all the documents I needed in a timely manner. I couldn't recommend him and his truck more and I'm so grateful for his helping in making our reception such a special day!
