So let's start with the good news first. It's clearly a hit with the locals. Saw a lot of people who looked like regulars. Our service was really attentive, regular, and friendly. But...the food... I ordered the BBQ Chicken special of the day. At $2.99 for a thigh and leg and two sides, I figured you couldn't go wrong...except the chicken was so dry it would have been shopping for moisturizing lotion if it was still alive. I reminded myself that the price was right and used hot sauce to cover the sad state of the meat. I love wings and it looks like this place has a good selection. I may give it one more shot on that account. read more

Food is very medioca and service is just the same.Prices are very high and food is not consistent.

Wednesday evening dinner. The food was tasty. Service was good. We sat inside and it was ok. There is an outdoor area with a bar. My son and grandson enjoyed their meals and I did too. No complaints. read more

Bar-B-Q Pit or Lucky's Bistro had a sports bar feel. We had BBQ chicken breast with bbq sauce, cole slaw, large serving of good french fries and Caesar salad with tomato. They gave us slice toast since we didn't want croutons. Service was good read more

Pork was undercooked. I sent it back to have the pink and bloodiness cooked out and the chef argued saying "this is just how we make it." It literally had raw spots. The pita bread tasted like the grill top and the gyro meat was unrecognizable. Very bad. Fish was mediocre at best. This is unfortunate because other meals have been okay. Not going back. read more

This was from a visit from April 24,2019. I arrived before 5 pm and walked through the outside-bar into the hostess station area, in the dining room. I must have waited 3 to 5 minutes and no one even walked by. I proceeded to the counter to place and pay for my all you can eat chicken with sides and a soda. The employee told me to have a seat in the dining room and I bussed my own drink before I took a seat. After a few minutes, a server appeared out of nowhere and waited on a waiting table and a party of 3 waiting to be seated. The counter help dropped off my food. My chicken was most likely reheated that day but could have been originally cooked a day or two ago. It was acceptable after I applied a nice amount of some bar b que sauce. The sides were frozen, from a can, and spent time under a heat lamp or on a steam table. When I went back to re order, I was asked where is my server? I dint know what to say as I had this same issue about 5 years ago. I was finally served my re order and again the chicken needed bar b que sauce and the sides were tired..... But, then the server who was nowhere to be found, came over to make some small talk and ask if she could get me anything. I kept my composure and told her I was ok. I give myself the missing 3 stars for not saying something stupid or even sarcastic!! read more

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. read more

Bar-B-Q Pit - Out door patio view at sunset. - Bars Near Me - Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

Been coming here for decades and they always have great food at very affordable prices! Prices are better then other surrounding places, especially since all the inflation happened. Staff is usually very attentive, courteous, entertaining and helpful! If you haven't been here, you should try it. The Greek items are excellent! My fav is the spinach pie! Once you come for a while your like family! read more

Not sure if this place is a BBQ joint or a Greek Diner. They do neither well. There was a long hair in the fries - shit happens. I was surprised when they took it back and fresh fries were brought back so that was good. The patio is nice, except that it provides a beautiful view of 422. Overall the food was average, and service was lacking. I don't hate the place, just wouldn't choose to ever go there again. I can't get over the fact that it's essentially a Greek diner called the BBQ pit. read more

Given the name of the place, one expects pit-smoked BBQ. The menu also boasted a fair amount of Greek specialty dishes. As a lover of BBQ and harboring a decade of nostalgia for Greek/Cypriot cooking, I was ready for both of these things. The problem is... neither of those were true to their essence. The BBQ was BBQ in the same way pulled pork or ribs in the crock pot (see: Pinterest) are BBQ. Sweet, soft (mushy even), drenched in sauce but without any hint of bark or dry rub. The BBQ beans tasted like they were from a can, maybe with extra brown sugar. To the establishment's credit, however the three meats sampled (chicken quarter, baby back, pulled) tasted fresh - neither had the warmed-over flavor I've experienced in other Berks county BBQ places where the meat might've been pit-smoked some time beforehand. So at least on a Friday night, one can expect the meat to be on the fresh side. As representatives of the Mediterranean inspiration of the menu, we tried the gyro platter. Whereas I was expecting slices off a spit, we received what looked like homogeneous, fried or pan-fried, pre-shaped (and probably factory-made and frozen) slivers of meatloaf. Pleasant tasting, but again not what one expects from gyro. Perhaps we should have ordered souvlaki - maybe those would have been cooked on a souvla and not a griddle. Then again, the village bread was a slice of white bread with garlic butter (poor psomi), so I wouldn't hope too much. Of note, the baklava was clearly homemade and richly spiced (was there almond extract in there?), and the galaktoboureko was also quite pleasant. Those were the only two things I ate that gave me the impression that someone cared to serve more than food to soak up beer. The place was clearly buzzing with a lively Baby Boomer/Early X crowd who were having a good time getting together on the patio. The music was somewhat loud for a 6PM dinner crowd. Service was courteous but a bit confused: four different people waited on us but did not seem to coordinate their efforts or communicate, and this seemed to occur at other tables. This is likely atypical - a result of adapting to rapidly changing circumstances due to covid-19 and a recent patio reopening. Would I come here again? Definitely not for BBQ. Perhaps foolishly, I cling to the idea that a restaurant that has pastitsio and galaktobourekia on its menu can deliver an OK piece of lamb. Or fresh pita. read more

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.) read more

Bar-B-Q Pit - I think the BBQ Super Special is the best deal on the menu. - Bars Near Me - Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

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. read more

Our group visited for the first time this week and had an average experience. Our server was very nice, and all the girls seemed to work together to make sure we got our food and drinks quickly. All of our cocktails were good, but the Summer Shandy on draft seemed a bit flat. A few of us got the crab soup and didn't really like the taste, but the Mediterranean sampler and fried pickles were good. No complaints about the Gyros, or the Burger, but we did not like the Pulled pork sandwich because it was entirely too saucy and seemed like store bought pre-made Bbq. Fries were delicious! It was really nice that the kids meals came with free desserts because they really enjoyed them and the adults enjoyed the chocolate cake, but thought the cheesecake was just okay. A side salad never came with one of our meals so we were offered it to-go when the checks came. Overall, an okay dinner. read more

It took about 15 minutes to get a soda and over an hour to get food. Got the food and was ice cold. Only thing that was okay was the frozen fried food and doesn't that tell you something. Not mention there was barely anybody there! Unbelievable!!! read more

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. read more

Bar-B-Q Pit - Bar - Bars Near Me - Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

Great burger, great fries, good beer on tap. The service could have been better. We went in the door and stood for quite a while without being seated or instructed by staff. When someone finally came, he said to sit wherever we want. We sat outside. Someone came and said where we were sitting was self serve. A welcome and instructions would have been better. The service was slow but it was Mother's Day. read more

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 !!! read more

Bar-B-Q Pit - Bars Near Me - Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

This was one of the worst experiences I've had a a restaurant in a long time. Once we finally ordered we waited for our drinks to arrive, beer and lemonade, can't mess that up. Then the salads came but before the person left not our waitress I had to ask for forks to eat the salad. Some time goes by and our (best in town prime rib show up). The waitress also did not bring this item either, we had to ask for a knife to cut the steaks; even though the person who gave us forks for our salad must not of thought we need anything else. During the unbelievable service nightmare the waitress that took our order never came back to the table. We finally stopped someone and asked to see the manager about our service. This was after waiting for anyone to stop by the table to see if we needed anything else like a drink refill. There was a large group from a local school there which was no problem. But it must have been for them tonight. The manager did take a percentage off the bill, which is not what I wanted at all. I would never patronise this place ever again. Not worth the chance with the prices things are now. read more

Just had dinner here tonight! The food was terrific. My husband had the prime rib sandwich and was awesome. My chicken cordon blue was delicious. The service is just terrific-the servers are attentive and fun a special thanks to Eleni, Sofia, and Shawn - they were just wonderful. If you want a terrific meal at a great price with a wonderful atmosphere-this is the place to go! read more

At a friend's urging, we went here to eat last weekend. Unfortunately it was the worst experience we have had ever! After we ordered, my dish was brought to me. No utensils. After like 10 minutes of watching me eat, my friend asked about his own meal. Everything was so kooky. It didn't seem to be an isolated incident because no one seemed concerned or apologized. There were all these different people bringing one thing at a time. I ordered fish tacos. I couldn't even eat them. They were so tough. Mrs Paul's frozen fillets are 100 times better than this fish. My friend ordered the pork and sauerkraut special. It came out in a child's size dish. He asked the waitress if this was right. In which she replied that it was indeed. $30 later we left hungry and annoyed. ​​​​​​​ read more

I was so disappointed in tonight's takeout!! we ordered 2 chicken gyro platters with a side of pasta salad, fries, hummus and GALAKTOBOURIKO. The gyro were ok. Not seasoned or marinated like they used to be. The pasta salad was spoiled, we spit it right out as soon as it went into our mouths. The hummus was dry and crusty. And the dessert was stale, hard and crusty!!! We used to order from here all the time and always loved the food. I gave 2 stars because the fries were good and i hope they work out the kinks of reopening and doing so much take out. Oh we also called to complain and to let them know that their pasta salad was bad but the manager was busy, we left a phone number but if course they never called back. Not sure I would order again. read more

I've eaten here a few times now, and I didn't want to leave a mediocre review based on a single experience. I also wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, and try some other things. They have a great special -- a chicken leg (thigh and drumstick and two sides for $4). I've tried a number of sides, and been very disappointed. The corn was watery and the garlic mashed potatoes (a favorite of mine) were disgusting. They tasted to me like they used garlic from a jar and about 3x too much of it. The baked beans were OK, and the fries were not bad. The chicken was basically grilled over a fire in advance, so it was on the dry side, then slathered in a terrible BBQ sauce. I had one of their gyros on another visit, and honestly it was the best thing I had there. It was pretty good, though the meat was very dry again. Considering the prices on the rest of their food ($7-10 for a burger), I expect the food to be better. read more

We waited over 20 min in the drive through when we were the only car. I ordered a cheesesteak with fries and my wife ordered pulled pork sandwich with fries. Even making everything fresh (which it wasn't) shouldn't have taken that long. Then when we finally got the food, the fries tasted like they've been sitting in the heater for hours and as soon as I picked up my cheesesteak, it fell apart. It was absolutely disgusting and we will NEVER eat there again! read more

Let me start this off by saying this place has the best curb appeal I've ever encountered. Seriously. It looks so legit from the outside. Do not be fooled. Pros : - I left full for $12.99 - Service was speedy and friendly - Plenty of TVs to watch the game on - Patio seating is cool Cons: - Not authentic bbq at all - Meat was not smoked, I'm pretty sure this place doesn't even have a charcoal/wood grill - This place uses one flavor of runny, tasteless, sugary bottled bbq sauce, they don't make their own! - Side dishes tasted premade. Think Bush's baked beans, KFC coleslaw - The ribs and chicken were overly bland, the meat was dry and tasted days old.Nothing really seemed fresh. - Temperature of the food was not hot at all. - The decor inside is tacky and very un BBQ-like. - It was 100 degrees outside and only 90 in the restaurant, we went outside for the breeze. - To the reviewer who said this place is like a bbq joint in the south, I live in the south, and have eaten in every state in the south and can safely say that it's not. Obviously I wasn't expecting Memphis BBQ in rural PA, but I expected better than cafeteria food. read more

Considering all the bad press they gave my wife attitude because she didn't know the drive through takeout protocol as she never picked up the order before... Instead of nicely saying "welcome to the bbq pit, it would be great if you stopped at the order speaker to give us a heads up" Instead they made her wait at the take out window for a few minutes while they chatted and said "what are you doing here?" Inside this place is unsafe... It was so before the "accidental" death that recently occurred.... I only go through the drive through because of the horrible environment, but I will never go back... Which is a shame read more

There are obviously a lot of mixed feelings about this place. Not been there on weekend or diner, and I limit my self to regular visit for lunch during week days. Best greek salad several miles around, is what I could say! Thank you it feels like Greece and mediterranean flavors! I ll go either with a souvlaki wrap or the greek salad with 1 or 2 souvlaki skewers! Perfectly cook, not to much and still juicy. Tzatsiki feets perfectly, even good feta cheese, anchovies, and stuff grape leaves... just a sit should be. A baklava pastry ends the meal very well too! ;) On top of that, the best week lunch deal price / quality in Robesonia area. read more

The food is pretty decent and well priced. In a good location with and nice feel right when you walk in, until you meet anyone who works there. Rudest and most foul attitude waitstaff I've ever met. Will not be returning. read more

Call me crazy, but when a place is called Bar-b-cue Pit, I expect pit barbecue. Nope. I got a bbq combo, ribs and chicken. The ribs were steamed, not smoked, then dunked in a commercial barbecue sauce which was the only thing that gave the meat any flavor. The chicken was baked, and dunked in the same sauce. Prices are low, but you get what you pay for. Very sorry I went there for dinner. read more

I came here the other day with a friend and I have to say this was by far some of the worst barbeque I have ever had. For one I have never been to place that considers itself a "barbeque pit" that didn't offer a selection of bbq sauces to add to your food. The food itself looked like the kind of barbeque you scoop from a can and serve for middle school lunches, served on Styrofoam plates. Wings were just awful. Honestly, go down the road and eat at Mission BBQ instead. At least there you can get a BBQ sauce selection, decent pulled pork, and Mac and cheese. You know actual BBQ food, not a place that confused itself with cheap a Greek diner and wannabe bbq. read more

I love BBQ pit because they have delicious cheese burgers and they are fat and juicy and I think that the cheese blends in with the burger witch makes it very good. And the French fries are so great they are so salty and I like salty food and also they taste like real potatoes and I also like them because they are crunchy so that's why I like them so much. and also there chocolate milk is so good because it tastes like real chocolate and there very,very good so that's why I love the chocolate milk so much. and the drive through is quick so you can eat at home witch is very cool. and so that's why I love BBQ pit so much. read more

I have been driving past this place every week for about 2 years going to work and always wanted to try it out. With a souvlaki platter special on the sign for the drive-thru I decided to give it a try. That's right a drive-thru at a dinner! How convenient. Ordered the platter and took it home for dinner. It was very tasty. The pork was tender and seasoned well. Next time I will ask for the tzatziki sauce on the side( they put a little too much on). I did not care for the coleslaw but all in all everything else was good. Would like to come back and sit down inside for a proper dinner. read more

Great food as always. Great service. Our waitress was Danielle. She was wonderful. She went over and above the average server and accommodated my hubby's gluten-free needs in a place that doesn't have a gluten-free menu. I read the negative posts after the woman was killed in the parking lot. It was a sad and unfortunate incident. But not within the owner's ability to foresee or to stop. Don't let one tragic accident keep you from eating at this spot. The owners are good people And they run a quality business. read more

LOVE it here! I've been a customer for years and eat here every week. I enjoy the California chicken salad, the veggie pita, wings; I've never had a bad meal. The staff is friendly too. Despite recent community differences, this restaurant remains one of my favorites. Remember reviewers, that there are two sides to every story. read more

I have been here many times, and will keep coming back. The Pit has an extensive menu. Burgers, sandwiches, Steaks, chops, Greek Specialties, all day breakfast, and salads are all outstanding. The wings are also excellent - try the original hot and sweet sauce. Portions are large, and very reasonably priced - you can feed the family here for less than any fast food dreck. Great happy hour specials - the daily beer special is frequently cheaper than a soda. Very informal atmosphere, with plenty of TVs to catch the game. The only reason I can't give five stars, is that their Barbecue is average at best. The Barbecue Chicken is actually grilled but its not bad. The pulled pork is meh - the meat does not taste smoked at all, and the sauce is nothing special (Open Pit?). The ribs are not smoked either. Not bad, but if you have had real barbecue before, you will know that this is not the real deal. If you go there thinking neighborhood grill or greek diner, you will not be disappointed. If you are thinking true pit bbq, you might be. read more
