text: The food was absolutely astounding There are not a lot of BBQ joints I can think of in the Pittsburgh area so there is not much to compare it to but the food is top notch as is the service we receivednnI originally ordered the Fried Chicken however after she went to put our order in our waitress came back and told us that unfortunately they were out of that right now and she apologized profuselynnNot a problem I ordered the meat special instead it comes with ribs pork shoulder and brisket I also ordered a side of cornbread apparently I was feeling as though I could eat the entire planetnnIll start with the ribs sweet Jesus So good I have seen other reviews say that they are dry but that was part of the charm to them in my opinion Often ribs are completely drowned in sauce and you end up covered in the stuff At UPC they instead chose to go with a dry rub on the ribs and allow the customer to put the sauce on themselves Wonderful choice I honestly ate mine without any sauce and have no complaints the dry rub is fantastic and I wish I had the recipe for it myselfnnThe brisket was also delicious A bit fatty here and there but cooked wonderfully Among the other food I had I would say the brisket was my least favoritennThe pork shoulder wasastounding Served in a dish cut into cubes it is not how I am accustomed to eating that particular dish but every bite was a bit of heaven The meat fell apart in your mouth allowing all of the flavors to just rush out and be savorednnNow as we were partway through our meal the waitress brought out a tray to our table full of fried chicken While we had been eating the kitchen had cooked more up and since we had not been able to try it earlier she brought us some out free of charge She was absolutely wonderfulnnThe chicken was the greatest food we ate that night and that is saying somethingnnIt is as though was eating the flesh of angels and it had been fried not in oil or anything but instead in the tears of unicorns I cannot recommend the fried chicken enough It haunted my dreams the night after we ate it nnMy only real complaint would be about the seating While everything looks great and has a nice visual appeal to it the way they have the tables set up long tables with benches to sit on did not work well exactly for a slightly larger party For four people it would be fine but we had six and it was somewhat difficult to have an ongoing conversation with everyone The benches are a neat idea but difficult to sit in for an extended period of timennLastly the drink choices are fantastic They work with other local companies and serve their products which I thoroughly enjoyed It gave me a sense of city unity somewhat The Wigle Whiskey cocktails we tried were all delicious a much different flavor than perhaps some are accustomed tonnThis is definitely somewhere you should check out and try the chicken You will not regret it
