Mouth watering BBQ in South Roanoke

I am a fanatic for pork butt and beef brisket smoked and covered with spicy BBQ sauce. I stumbled upon Pitt Boss BBQ some time in the spring of 2007 and it has been an ongoing love affair ever since. As I became more of a regular patron I was befriended by the owner and his wife, James and Nickki Tedesco.

James graduated from Johnson & Wales University back in 1996 and married Nickki in October of 2007. After spending a few years as a professional skateboarder traveling the country with legends like Tony Hawk, Jason Lee and Mike Vallely, he decided to put his culinary training to work. Luckily for smoked meat junkies across the Roanoke region he decided to settle down and pursue life as a purveyor of bbq chicken, pork, ribs, beef and turkey, all of which is smoked onsite. Offering a selection of 5 different sauces, Pitt Boss can offer an taste to please almost any palate.

The current 28 seat Pitt Boss location at 3904 Brambleton Ave. Roanoke Va is soon the be replaced by a grander location a short distance away at 4301 Brambleton Ave. The new location will boast a 136 seat capacity, 14 televisions, an expanded menu, and onsite party catering capabilities. In recent years the intoxicating smell of their efforts has wafted through many downtown Roanoke festivals providing the citizens of the Roanoke Valley with the opportunity to indulge in some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten

Now entering his second decade of smoking meat James is well on his way to creating a must eat dining experience for BBQ lovers passing anywhere near the Roanoke area. The relaxed and inviting atmosphere harkens back to a time when restaurntuers greeted every customer as a friend and called many if not all by name. I have become a great fan of the folks as well as the food and invite you to visit with James and Nickki to experience it for yourself.
