Murrysville's Culinary Landscape Heats Up with Dee Jay's BBQ Ribs & Grille's Arrival!

Murrysville is buzzing with anticipation as a new culinary delight, Dee Jay's BBQ Ribs & Grille, is set to anchor at the Blue Spruce Shoppes in the coming months. This transition comes as Mike McMullen takes over the North Park Lounge Murrysville from Mark Baranowski, with a vision to bring the over 40-year-old Weirton BBQ favorite closer to the Pittsburgh community.

The changeover, expected to kick off in earnest in the fourth quarter, promises a tantalizing ribs menu by November. This is part of a six-month transition plan that will see the spacious 13,000 square feet restaurant at Blue Spruce Shoppes undergo some kitchen upgrades including the introduction of smokers for that authentic BBQ flavor.

This exciting venture is not just a win for BBQ aficionados but also a significant addition to the local dining scene, enriching the culinary diversity at the Blue Spruce Shoppes alongside existing eateries. The arrival of Dee Jay's BBQ Ribs & Grille is eagerly awaited as it opens a new chapter of delightful dining experiences in Murrysville.
