It's probably because it's close to where I live, but mostly because it's so darn tasty. The brisket, I have to admit, may disappoint. But that's only because everything else is so much better in comparison. The ribs and pulled chicken are great but the pulled pork is A-MAY-ZING. I've had several of their side dishes and cornbread and my tummy always ends up with a smile. They have some good daily/weekly deals, too, so if you're planning to stop by, check the menu online first. But for reals, the pulled pork - it's the best I've had so far in this city. So moist and tender...the stuff dreams are made of. They are closed on Mondays and only open on Sundays for catering orders. I try to forget this as I have several times tried to call ahead a take out order on a Monday. I've also experienced the catering a few times and never been let down.

I had food from The Flame at Millvale Brew Fest (2016) and had the pulled pork sandwich which was…read moreok. However, the man I took as being the owner or manager wasn't the nicest person around. I was in line for the buffet and couldn't decide if I wanted the pulled pork or Italian sausage sandwich (took me about 20 seconds). It was between sessions so it was down time and I was the only person in line. When I couldn't pick a sandwich immediately this guy got testy with me and said, "come on, come on, make up your mind". He made me feel like an idiot. If I wasn't starving I would have walked away without eating at all. I can tell you I'll never give them my patronage. Seriously who does that?

The brunette mentioned she had only been there for five days, but you never would have known it. She did an excellent job checking on guests and making sure everyone was taken care of. I ordered the 3-bone rib dinner with mac and cheese. I'll admit, I'm a bit of a rib snob, but these were outstanding. They had the perfect glaze with a nice crisp on the outside, weren't overcooked, and were so tender but not falling off the bone without being overly fatty. Easily some of the best ribs I've ever had. The mac and cheese was good, but it was spicier than I could handle. It would be nice if there were a non-spicy option available. We enjoyed a few beers, great food, and sat out on the patio listening to blues music on a beautiful summer evening. It was the perfect atmosphere, and I can't wait to come back. The only downside is that parking can get a little tight when they're busy, but it's well worth the visit.

Parking can be a problem but there is some to be found on the other side of the street but lacks a crosswalk so be very careful.

The owner Charlie kindly chatted with me. His menu listed meats of brisket, pork, chicken, turkey disney, and burnt ends as well as sides of collard greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, and vinegar slaw. I was not super-hungry and could not eat everything, so I asked Charlie to recommend something to order, and he said the Platter and extra sides, so I paid $40 for that. The brisket and the pulled pork were juicy, tender, and flavorful. My husband said that they needed some sauces, and some sauces were available. My favorite side was the nicely seasoned collard greens. My second favorite side was the vinegar slaw. The macaroni and cheese and the cornbread were spicy. I will have to try the few other meats at another time. If you see Grateful Smoke BBQ at an event near you, be sure to give them a try!

The food and service is where they excel. I got the Brisket Sandwich combo which comes with a choice of side , drink and cornbread.

Now I'm don't really care for cornbread but this was easily the best cornbread I've had so far in my life. They used a honey butter drizzle and it's delicious. The cornbread absorbed the honey and it was very NICEEE!. My friend got the beans and Brussels sprouts with bacon. We met the owner who was nice and took the time to talk to us. Now we gotta come back tomorrow before we leave for the road and try some other stuff

Since it is a food truck, there isn't too much to say about it other than it looked like your normal truck. Inside there were two workers, one taking your order and expediting with the other one cooking. Since this is a BBQ place, I am always interested in the meats they have available as well as the sauces. On this evening they had pulled pork and chicken for the meats and a single red sauce. The sauce ended up being self serve from a single bottle which pre-Covid probably wouldn't have been a big deal but was something that I definitely noticed. What did make this food truck different than many of the others that have visited our neighborhood is that they seemed to push out the food a lot quicker. For dinner on this evening I ultimately decided to have the chicken sandwich while my wife went with the pulled pork nachos. Our wait for our food was approximately 5 minutes and then our name was called, I grabbed some BBQ sauce and we headed home, food in hand. Whenever I tried my sandwich, I have to admit that I was somewhat disappointed. The chicken was fairly dry and I didn't get a smoky flavor from it and the bun wasn't toasted. Since the chicken was dry I dipped it into the bbq sauce and while it wasn't bad, it wouldn't have been my first choice if there were other options. My wife did seem to like her nachos a bit better and the pulled pork that I tried was definitely better than the chicken, so maybe I just picked poorly? The bottom line for me is that I probably wouldn't head back here again in the future. Nothing was bad per se, but the food didn't excite me and I can certainly get much better BBQ for the price in Pittsburgh.

Even though the food came out fast we were in line for about 30 minutes. Before we got to order they erased the chicken off of the white board menu. Had the pulled pork with cheddar and slaw with a side of Mac & Cheese. The pulled pork was very good...nice flavor with a little of the bbq smoke flavor and tender. The Mac was very good and it seemed to have just a tad of red pepper to give it a little heat to go with a creamy cheese. There are two bottles with sauce, a Alabama white that is very good with some spice and a red. If you are in the area, stop and try it out.
