Discovered this locally owened business and highly recommend! Ordered beef brisket and pulled pork; there were two sauce choice, BBQ and mustard, recommend the mustard. Both entrees were smoky, tender, and flavorful. The pork had a nice bark on it. The collard greens were delightfully spicy and the brussel sprouts were crisp with a surprising vinegar dressing. Acoustic guitar from 7pm to 9pm was awesome, as was the beer list...a dozen beers on draft.Highly recommend and will return!

Food was great with good sized portions. Both my wife and I had some to take home. The Mac and cheese has a little more bite to it than I usually go for, but was extremely tasty. The chopped brisket was tender and smokey.

There is so much to say about Off the Rail, Ken and the entire team in Verona. It took my husband and I a long time to finally stop and now it we are LOYAL addicts to this BBQ. It is the best in Pittsburgh so far. There are lot of things we like at other places but to love everything on the menu speaks volumes about the quality that is smoked here. I travel for work and Texas has been a frequent stop once again. I like things on the menu but there is no other place that the entire menu is amazing.I am finally writing a review on OTRB is because I have not tried everything until now.RIBs: Fall of the bone but does not fall apart. No 1 thing a BBQ judge looks for in good smoke. Requires sauce: NO. none needed unless you want it. Another key to good smoke.Pork: it is flavorful, it is NOT dry, no sauce required and it great on everything, sandwich, potato, nacho, grilled cheese.. there is no limit.Brisket: smoke to perfections. The chili is out of this world, flavor heat on a potato does not matter the vechicle to which is reaches your mouth. Will not disappoint.Wings are good. I am a person that I like my wings smoked. I just wish they had the choice of not flash frying them. That is a personal choice. I still eat them because they are wonderful. I dont always want the greese.Chicken. I have fallen in love ALL over again with the pulled chicken. I dont eat that much bread bc i am not a bread person. but on the potato or nachos or straight out of the to go bowl...This will be my 2nd choice to the ribs or even better I will just get both when the ribs are not sold out.Everything is truly on point. I gave 4 stars to atmosphere only because sometimes I freeze while inside. HOWEVER the food and beer selection keeps me warm!!There are weekly specials and their cheese steaks are sharable.OH the Beer selection GO KEN!!!! He gets some great hard to find crafter beers. I love this place but my cardiologist does not like it.KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING...IT IS RIGHT!!!Toni and JohnOTRBBQ secrets:Join and get points which turns into free food.

We ordered a Mac & cheese side, a fried chicken sandwich and the Mac & cheese with brisket.I didn’t even take a bite of the Mac & cheese because someone else in our party did and said it had too much black pepper in it. I could visually see it all, and then I could smell it. It was overwhelming.The chicken sandwich was ok when I first took a bite but then I took a second bite and it was slimy inside. That’s a preference thing for sure. It was cooked, but not how I like it cooked. The breading was crispy and flavorful.My husband enjoyed the brisket Mac & cheese, but even he said that it had a bit too much pepper in it. He said if would go back, he would order something else.On the plus side, the staff were very nice and they refunded us for the sandwich and and Mac & cheese side.I’ll order for my husband from there again, but I’ll get something from somewhere else. It’s just not my style.

First time here and my server gladly walked me through the process and menu.You order and pay at the cash register. The menu is two-sided and includes options in which you then choose your meat, or meat options by themselves, and sides to order ala carte are on the back.I opted for a pulled pork sandwich, which came with chips with an upgrade option of fries. I decided on neither and instead ordered sides of Mac n cheese and slaw.The Mac n cheese was good. It had cheese that was gooey and stuck to the macaroni vs. being wet and drowning in sauce. This is exactly the way I prefer it.The slaw was vinegar-based, again, my preference. I will say they are large portions for sides. If I were with someone, they would have been enough to share. An option for a smaller portion priced accordingly would have been welcomed.The sandwich was quite tasty. My server let me know where bbq sauces were, and I did add.I also got a diet coke. All totaled with 20 percent tip was 30 dollars or so. I am finding this to be the going rate for such a meal no matter where I go, quite pricey for lunch. But, as a treat, it was very tasty.I ate indoors, which has the option of table or bar seating. They also have outdoor seating for those good-weather days, and it looked to have a fireplace.
