    Smoker Stock Pile
    Stuart H.

    Beautiful outdoor covered patio and extensive menu of BBQ options!! We stopped for a weekend Brunch around 10:30 and the place was still completely empty! The hostess stand is a bit of a farce - the employees seemed to hope that people would just seat themselves. Even when we were greeted - they said to just pick your own seat anyway! The decor is pretty cool. I'm partial to the stacked wood for the smoker as you enter, but the rustic feel of everything made the vibe come alive. With the smoker right next to the patio, the wonderful smell of the barbecue permeated the entire restaurant. The brunch menu was just as extensive as their lunch/dinner menu. We grabbed two coffees - which seems like a rarity - as they brought sugar and milk in little dipping sauce cups. The candied bacon was a MUST. 6 slices of thick cut bacon drizzled in brown sugar for only $6. Walter's Benedict with Pork Belly will stalk my dreams... the flavorful crust charred to the fork tender pork belly casually laying on the buttery, crispy chive biscuit smothered in the perfect hollandaise is the brunch you dream of but never really comprehend. Brisket Hash was unfortunately a nightmare though. The menu doesn't inform you that the brisket will be chip chopped into fine dust and coated in hot sauce. It was so spicy that it was almost inedible and the 1/4" of oil under the potatoes and eggs proved that even the hot sauce felt like crying. In all, the amazing waitresses and cool setting outweigh the one menu issue! We will be back!

    The outside is perfect for a nice day! Good drinks. Food was decent, good for a quick meal. Servers were all super nice and attentive.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Steven K.

    First time dining at Walter's. Decided to go with the fried chicken sandwich and a side of potato salad. Sandwich was good. Would have greatly benefited from more sauce. Probably wouldn't order again as I'd definitely prefer one of their bbq sandwiches over this. Potato salad was pretty standard. Also tried some brisket and pork belly. Both were tasty. Really enjoyed their bbq sauce as well. Overall, nice lil spot. Beers were cold. Food was decent. Our waitresses were great as well. Wouldn't mind coming back for some more bbq soon.

    Candied Bacon
    Jessica A.

    What a great spot for lunch on a gorgeous November day! Our group of 13 was served well. The candied bacon was a treat and so good! I had the lunchbox special with pulled pork, Brussels sprouts, Mac & cheese, and cornbread. I give it all two thumbs up. Servers were attentive and did a great job with our group. Looking forward to going back!

    Amazing service. As a now Texan, the bbq is pretty decent for an east coast bbq, though I've had better in PA. The guys did forget to give us some sausage from our order, but the server was nice enough to help us out. Brisket queso fries were great. They use battered fries! The candied bacon was my favorite. The sides could've been better.

    Walter's is easily one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh. The brisket queso fries are my go-to every single time, and they never miss. The vibe is always chill and welcoming, and I love that I can bring my puppy without any issues. It's a great weeknight hangout and a fun late-night spot on the weekends. The drinks are a bit pricey, but the quality and atmosphere make it worth it. If you're looking for good food, good energy, and great service. Highly recommend.

    Walter's Benedict. With pork belly You can chose brisket, pulled pork or pork belly

    Mac & Cheese
    Maansi S.

    There aren't many vegetarian options here. I understand that Southern food isn't vegetarian friendly, but it would be nice to have the option to customize some of the meals with plant-based proteins. I had the bowl, that's displayed in the picture, and it wasn't very good. The rice to veggie ratio was not good and even the cilantro lime sauce didn't help with the flavor. I thankfully got a side of Mac and Cheese and that was the best part of the meal. The beer was pretty good though. The waiter was nice and super friendly though! The outside area is pretty nice even in the cold months as there are heaters to keep you warm. Not sure if I'd come back for the food, but maybe for a casual drink.

    Back again with another Walter's review. My friend and I recently met up at Walter's for one of their Tuesday movie nights. The service was much better than the last time I visited. We found a seat outside. Food and drink ordering is still available via QR code, which makes it easy. They had a few food and drink specials for the movie night, so I ordered a soft pretzel (which came with their delicious queso) and a tequila cocktail. Our items came out quick. The movie night was okay. The volume was not up so it made it very hard to hear the movie. There were also people playing games right in front of us so it made it hard to see the movie. Besides that, the vibes are always great at Walter's.

    Great salad with balsamic vinaigrette...
    Michael M.

    First time here. We had the big salad with brisket and chopped brisket sandwich with mustard potato salad. Our waitress Jada was excellent and had no issues asking the kitchen a couple of allergy related questions. I thought the portions were great and the prices were fair! So many table games available and tomorrow is movie nite, they're playing Top Gun Maverick.

    Happy hour tacos
    Tammy L.

    Walter's is the spot to go for their happy hour deals and patio vibes. I love how kid and dog friendly this place is. It can get a bit hectic during busy hours and the wait for food can be long. The happy hour tacos are only $2 each which is a steal! The pork belly and brisket tacos are fantastic. Come early if you want to claim a large outdoor table or else you may have to wait a while.

    We went to Walter's for a dinner and they had a variety of options to choose from. The service was quick and not bad. The restaurant itself was warm and fairly large with plenty of TVs to watch. They even had an outside seating area for when the weather is warmer. The food came out hot and it was pretty good!

    Iddis S.

    We loved it! Food, service, and the place is awesome!! We brought our dog and the lady brought him water right away. This is the right place to go with family or friends. We'll be back for more!

    I greatly regret having to write this review. I contacted Two Brothers Barbeque some time ago to…read morecater my wedding. Initially, I had a wonderful experience. The individual I worked with, Terri, was initially responsive and accommodating and made me feel at ease about booking this business. I put down a deposit in early November. Later in November I reached out for some more information to aid in the planning of my wedding reception. However, I never heard back. I was not unduly concerned because this is a barbeque business and I thought this might be their "off-season". I assumed they would get back to me when they were able. I did not hear back from Two Bothers Barbeque, even when springtime rolled around, so I called them a couple of times. I did not hear back. At this point, I got concerned because our wedding was in only three months. I was eager to speak to them to have some questions answered. My fiancé suggested we drive to the business, so we could connect with them. When we drove to the business, we were rather dismayed to see many signs stating "Business for Sale." There was a phone number on one of the "For Sale" signs, so I called it and said that I had seen their "For Sale" signs and was interested in talking about this. At this time, I did not tell them my name or state that I was a client. I got a return call pretty immediately. When I received the call-back, I explained that I had emailed and called the business without hearing back, and that I was concerned that the business was for sale, as we were counting on them catering our wedding. The gentleman on the phone (the owner, I believe) said they were retiring and were winding down the business, but that they planned to honor all scheduled events. He said he would have Terri call me. I was extremely relieved - but only for a short while. Terri called after several minutes. I explained the situation to her. I told her that I was concerned because I hadn't received a response to my email or phone calls and then saw that the business was for sale. She said that the catering part of the business was for sale, as well as their food trucks, but they would still honor their contracts for the summer. However, she then said she would just refund my money if I was uncomfortable. I was taken aback - I had said nothing about cancelling the contract and was really just nervous about the prospect of the business being sold. I received no kind of apology for the lack of communication. Terri said that she hadn't responded to my email in November because I sent it too close to Thanksgiving and that she never received my phone calls. At some point during this conversation, Terri became quite hostile, raising her voice and becoming accusatory. She blamed me for the lack of contact and did not take responsibility for failing to respond. The situation became truly unsettling; in fact, may I say, deeply shocking. Terri did say that she had some medical concerns, which I do sympathize with. However, I have had a number of medical issues, some of them quite serious, and I have never treated a client this way. Ultimately, I stated that she could cancel the booking and send the refund, which was what she appeared to want to do in the first place. It really seemed like she did not care too much about the business or leaving us in a precarious position of having no caterer for our wedding. I left the phone call truly bewildered and told my fiancé I was sorry and that I had lost the caterer for our wedding. He said, "You shouldn't be sorry. You did absolutely nothing wrong." (He had been listening to this conversation.) We went home and brainstormed new possibilities, and, luckily, found another local business that was more than willing to cater for us. They have been a dream to work with. I know this review probably does not matter because Two Brothers is retiring from catering, but it is important that people be careful when dealing with this company. If you have a current date booked with them, please considering making a back-up plan. I'm not sure this business cares to uphold its promises, nor does it take responsibility for its own actions. Please be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

The guy who worked for 2 brothers started an argument with me, cause he thought I said it. He threatened me, which I would have had no issue, but, I was working with childish pricks whom didn't have the balls to stick up for themselves. This place is a low class bbq place, I cannot speak to ownership.But, the way the situation was handled is completely unacceptable. I do not care if they are now a catering business alone. The way they acted is ridiculous and you should hire another bbq catering company. Btw, why would anyone say . Best of luck to you, hope a girl doesn't beat your A**" How dumb.... I know this review is completely outdated. It also shows you that things haven't changed. Since 2017 to 2024.

Their menu includes entrees such as ribs, brisket, and pulled pork as well as appetizers such as nachos, fries, and macaroni that are topped with the meats. Sides include baked beans, coleslaw, cornbread, collard greens, and potato chips. My husband and I visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. An employee immediately greeted us and gave us menus to look at. She told us that we could sit at any table of our liking. Many tables were available inside and outside, and I appreciated that the walls were open for fresh ventilation. We ordered our appetizers, and the employee told us that ribs would not be available to order for another half hour, so we waited for them. Our loaded nachos and loaded fries were topped with similar ingredients of shredded meat, jalapeno peppers, gooey cheese, and a sauce. The ingredients were fresh, and we enjoyed the flavors. Our half rack of ribs were tender, and they had a tasty seasoning that my husband wanted a little more of.

Instead, this was hands down the fastest large-group dinner I've ever had. Orders moved quickly, food came out hot, and nothing felt chaotic. For a group this size, that level of execution is genuinely impressive. Let's be clear: this is not Texas-style, 18-hour, smoke-ring BBQ--and it's not trying to be. What they do well is consistency and customization. You get six different sauces, and they actually ask whether you want your meat lean and dry or juicy. I went juicy, and my portions were flavorful, tender, and satisfying. I ordered the beef brisket and pulled pork, and also tried the pulled pork sandwich. Solid across the board. They were out of the cream corn (bummer), the mac and cheese was fine and comforting, and the cornbread was excellent--classic, slightly sweet, and the clear standout. This is BBQ built for scale: fast, reliable, and crowd-friendly. If you're feeding a large group and want everyone served quickly, with options and no drama, Mission BBQ absolutely delivers--even if it's not chasing smoke-ring perfection.

Some mild and some spicy but all the ones I've tried are tasty. The sides were also very good! Mac and cheese and bacon green beans were my favorites but other sides include baked beans, French fries, collard greens, cold slaw and a couple seasonal items.

The Army Truck out front is very cool and it's their mobile smoker truck for large events The inside of the store has a warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely feel like you're ready to enjoy some homemade delicious BBQ. Definitely recommended if you're hungry for some delicious scratch BBQ.
