    Out door patio view at sunset.
    Kristin N.

    I really enjoy this place and ate here again last night. I think it has a somewhat neutral/negative reputation from things that happened in the past but I definitely recommend you give it a try. -There's a great outdoor seating space that's perfect for lunch to late night. -There's a drive-thru for easy pre-order and pick up and a $4 drive-thru special (chicken and veggie gyro with fries). -The food is consistently fresh and savory. Serving sizes are large. -Top menu picks: greek salad, fries, cottage fries, spinach pie, tzaiki (if you love tzaiki sauce, this place has the freshest/most delicious in Berks County. Buy it by the pound - $3.99/lb). Be sure to ask for a loyalty/punch card - you'll want to come back.

    I think the BBQ Super Special is the best deal on the menu.

    My girlfriend and I went to the Bar-B-Q Pit two Saturdays ago. It was the first time that I've been in years (and she had never been there.) I've only ever had what I consider to be the best deal on the menus: the all-you-can eat "Super Special" BBQ 1/4 chicken for $9.99. It comes with a single 16 oz. domestic draft beer (including a bunch of "Lite" beers and Yuengling Lager), all the soda you want and 2 sides. And you can change your side choices with each reorder. My girfriend had the same thing but she went with the "BBQ Bonanza" (basically the same thing that I outlined above, with the addition of country-style ribs. Sides include coleslaw, applesauce, pasta salad, rice pilaf, baked beans, corn (not on the cob), garlic mashed potatoes (with brown gravy if you'd like), baked potato or fries. I'm sure that all of the sides are from a can or frozen (like the fries), but it's hard to argue with the price. It's not fancy, but their patio is nice for eating outside in the summertime. I got two 1/4 chickens (thigh & drumstick) with my initial order. Reorders were single 1/4 chicken with my sides. My girlfriend was served a single 1/4 chicken with two ribs and her sides initially. When you consider that a 1/2 chicken with two sides is $7.99 and it doesn't include the beer or soda (plus it's only two sides and that's it), it's easy to see the value of the all-you-can eat. My girlfriend said that she'd like to go back, but she would just get the $9.99 Super Special like I did... She thought the ribs were overcooked and dried out (though we were there at 8 pm.)

    A healthy children's meal. Bbq chicken and mashed potatoes.

    Bar-B-Q Pit is a staple in my family. We frequent here often for several reasons. First it's a very welcoming atmosphere. This place is perfect for a family dinner with children or a date night with your spouse. The food is very affordable. My 7 year old daughter loves the bbq chicken and mashed potatoes and it's only $3.29 I've never saw such a deal. They also have a freezer chest filled with ice cream the kids really love that. I don't want to forget that the beer prices are exceptionally low and the staff is always attentive and friendly. I recommend you give this place a try.

    Fantastic service & great food. Perfect for date night or just grabbing a drink. The outdoor seating and bar area makes it convenient for both smokers and non-smokers a like. Great selection of spirits, which is a must for people like me who have a tendency to drink top shelf alcohol that is found off the beaten path.

    Love all of the food here! My favorite is the Greek salad. I wanted to take a picture before I dug in but I was so hungry for my salad-I forgot, but I remembered when I was at the end because the best part of my salad is the stuffed grape leave! Yummy yummy salad !!!

    It was good for the price $10

I could have ordered and sandwich and an extra side and it would have been less money. Not only that but I subbed the mashed potatoes for fries and they charges me an additional 3 dollars for that, ridiculous. I did bring this up and they gave me more pulled ham. But at the end of the day people are getting ripped off. Otherwise there food is inconsistent everytime I have ordered the pit beef sandwich it was different. Either the beef was cooked to a different temp or they were using different rolls. Restaurants need to be consistent with how they make there meals they are not. We have ordered wings in the past they would come out cold. And the worst part is the owner that will sit at the bar while they are slammed busy instead of helping his staff. Get up and help your employees. I know this place has been thru alot but if you cant handle it sell it to someone who can.

Very open and inviting, although it was a mild temp day and the heat was on, making it a little uncomfortable. The service on the other hand was sadly not good. Our server, Ana seemed like she was a bit intoxicated while my party was there. She was glassy eyed, face flushed, slurring a little and was not focusing or remembering things well. She initially had put in and brought me Brussels sprouts instead of truffle fries. She was speaking to us very awkwardly, and lingering and giving some people in our party weird looks and responses. I'm not sure what all was going on. We enjoyed ourselves and had a great conversation, and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately though, the service was not good at all. We had very long waits for our water at the beginning of the outing, let alone for the drinks we ordered from the bar. One of the beers that was ordered was also very flat.

My husband and I assessed Austin's differently. He ordered prime rib which he said was nothing short of perfect. Cooked medium rare as requested, tender, juicy -- he savored every bite. I scanned the menu. Nothing jumped out at me. (I generally don't gravitate to steakhouse-type restaurants.) I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. My point of comparison is Longhorn's which offers more of a bang-for-a-buck, and in my opinion better tasting ribs. Not to say that Austin's aren't good. They are. Based on the popularity of Austin's, it's clear management knows what they're doing. But I think a small salad and baked potato should be available with the price of the entree -- not worth the extra $7 I was going to be charged. The salad is listed as 'field greens,' -- which it's not -- but reading the menu you'll see they mean iceberg and romaine. The salad was good, enhanced by their garlic ranch dressing. We washed down our meals with well-priced drinks: merlot ($8.90) and Blue Moon ($6.90), then splurged on dessert. Austin's flourless double chocolate brownie a la mode is very rich. One order for two adults is plenty. Austin's is aptly described as a family restaurant. A lot of kids. A lot of noise. Service is friendly and on-the-ball. While not my kind of restaurant, if prime rib is your thing -- this could be the place!

My favorite was the Lobster Bisque. It was creamy and deliciously balanced. The clam chowder tasted like "old soup" as per my daughter's review. It was OK, but did taste like it was canned and therefore we didn't eat more than a few spoonfuls of it. (The crab and lobster soups were gone.) We both thoroughly enjoyed the gator bites. They were well prepared and very tender. My daughter enjoyed stated that she was surprised it reminded her more of chicken than what she had expected. The dipping sauce added a nice touch and was not too peppery or spicy. It was well balanced. The seafood gnocchi was filling and flavorful. My daughter enjoyed it and had enough leftover for another meal the next day. I thoroughly enjoyed my lobster roll and ate the whole thing. There was an abundance of fries, which I did not eat. They were good, but did have a bit more of a greasiness than I prefer. The drinks were typical Coke products, which wait staff were attentive to keeping filled. The ambiance is a great place for a casual quality meal with family, friends, work colleagues, or a date. The salt water tank in the "lobby" is always nice to look at. The place is always clean and well maintained. The booths are spacious and you can talk comfortably without being crowded by other patrons. I love this place because the food is always good and the atmosphere is calming with the dim lighting.

Still, a great addition to the small food line-up in this zip code. Only negative is the pricing is a bit elevated. Large pizza with toppings cost $18.50 to $23 before tax, and personal sizes are costly to feed 1. (Almost feels like they're compensating a little for delivery app costs). Don't mind paying for quality, but if buying for a group, the cost will set you back some.
