    Absolutely fabulous lunch here the other day after our trip to the quirky, fun Bayernhof museum…read more Like any really good BBQ place, you smell the goodness before you even get there. In this case, a *giant* smoker is just outside the front door, and man oh man, is it loaded with yumminess --- ribs, chicken, brisket. (Faint!) The place, originally opening in the 1890's (!!), is a real throwback, despite their having to rebuild sometime ago after a bad flood. The current owners - with their families - are some serious hard workers, and the output is just terrific. One of the owners waited on us, a charming Pittsburgher (not sure if it was Chad or Nick) who has an infectious passion for both good beer and his fine food. I got the recommended oatmeal stout which I really enjoyed - smooth, nutty, flavorful. My husband enjoyed his wheat beer. Both of these from the fairly extensive draft list. The food is the real star, tho. Our foursome started with fried green tomatoes - a nice crunch with a good, lightly spicy wing-style sauce. AND ---- the favorite of all of us: smoked chicken wings. MOMMA. These are a signature item for good reason. Order a 1/2 dozen or dozen. They are on the medium side, plump and juicy, with a tasty dust. Perfectly cooked. Apparently they start smoking them in the morning! Dreamy! The owner brought us some fabulous sauces, along with homemade blue cheese dressing, for dipping. The highly-popular "Moonshine" bbq sauce was our fave, hands down. The House sauce was a bit plain but good. The 1/2 n 1/2 - with House sauce and (I think) Carolina BBQ sauce was good. Next time, I'll try their habanero bbq sauce - I think they call it "Hot Hooves." My friend & I split the pulled smoked chicken sammie with a side of really good, home made collard greens. The greens were quite good - not bitter at all - high praise from this Southern gal! The sandwich was great - with chunky bits of smoked chicken, but honestly - you could just eat those fab smoked wings! My husband enjoyed his brisket sandwich. I'm not a big red meat girl, so I can't speak to the flavor. My sister in law got a straaaaange experience -- the gigantic pretzel with 2 smoked meats (pork & chicken) accompanied by a side of Mac & cheese. She wanted to have leftovers, and boy did she get her wish! Yikes. Too weird for me. They have a small outdoor space at the back. We enjoyed the front section with the giant bar. There's also more seating in the back. They have special nights for their delicious food---- those fab wings are super cheap on Tuesday; cheaper meat platters on Wednesdays; & Saturdays are cheap tacos ---- the place was once a taco/Mexican restaurant, apparently. We will most definitely be back!!!

    A Pittsburgh 5 star old school dive, but not too divey, really. Lots of great beer on tap,…read moreoutstanding food menu with great prices & BBQ made on sight with a giant smoker right out front on the street. Try their smoked wings yum! The Cuban sandwich was tasty too & the onion rings were giant. Bartenders & all staff very friendly. Small outside deck up a few steps in the back. Punk bands play here some evenings so it gets loud at night. Parking can be tricky. Well worth a visit!

The waitress was really nice and said one table was leaving soon and she put some tables together for my large group. She was pretty attentive for serving almost the whole bar alone. My mom and I split the burger and mesquite butter wings I think they could've been a little more saucy, I didn't mention anything, but I'm sure she would've brought me more. If I asked. I heard a lot of good things about the ranch and it was good once I really really tasted it. I didn't find it that flavorful off the top but once I really tasted it, it did have good flavor. Maybe this was a fresh batch that needed to sit. My dad got the buffalo chicken eggrolls. They were good, but we didn't realize it would just be chicken dip in the eggroll wrapper We were expecting shredded chicken with hot sauce and cheese or something similar. I came to celebrate my granddad's birthday just to try something new and he generally likes bar food. He enjoyed it as we sang happy birthday to him. The other patrons and the waitstaff also joined in and someone even offered to buy him a drink. this is a really nice bar if you're looking for good food , good vibes and nice people.

    Great little casual and cozy dive bar located on Cavitt Ave in Trafford…read more Allyssa was great. Very friendly with a great attitude. Warm and welcoming towards a new face. I was in the area and decided to check it out. I appreciate a smoking bar that isn't a big cloud of smoke. Well ventilated so that is always a plus. There's a rustic feel to the bar which works well with the dive bar atmosphere. For a small bar they have a nice craft beer selection. I got a nice vibe from the customers at and around the bar. A nice local, small town feel. I didn't feel out of place at all and could see myself visiting again soon!

    Great little neighborhood bar. It's definitely a dive bar (smoking included), but it's clean,…read morewell-lit, and has a safe, welcoming vibe that makes it stand out from some of the other dives in the area. The regulars are friendly, the bartenders are attentive, and the prices are very reasonable. You can tell it's the kind of spot where locals have been coming for years, but newcomers are made to feel comfortable too. It has that old-school charm without feeling run-down, which is rare. The lighting makes it easy to relax and actually see what's going on, and the place is kept tidy compared to a lot of smoky bars. It's not a fancy place, but it doesn't try to be--it's just a solid, straightforward bar where you can grab a cheap drink, chat with people, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. If you're looking for a polished cocktail lounge, this isn't it. But if you want a classic neighborhood tavern that feels safe, friendly, and easygoing, Krick's is a great choice.
