 It's been some time since I've been there.  But Duke's Station in Bethel
 Park has some good ribs.

 Another place that people like, excluding myself, is Back Street BBQ off Rt
 51 Going south past the CIII Mall on the left.  I personally don't like the
 sauce...at all.

 The last place I had Ribs was at Max & Erma's and they were pretty good.
 Although it sounds like you are looking for the 'off the wall' places for
 ribs.

 And yes, you can't beat Clem's, but the drive is a pain.  Go buy some ribs
 and catch a movie at the Wynnsong theatre.  I'm sure they would be happy
 just to have cars in the parking lot.

 I like Wilson's on the north side--wood fired, awesome greens, cheap
 chicken for the wife, and delicious sauce!
