Quality has gone significantly down while prices have gone drastically up on the bbq. I no longer recommend this place for the food. The bar scene is still fabulous tho. Seems like they don't really care to provide quality food. It's always cold like it was heated up from the day before, they're skimpy with the meat & it just doesn't hit the same. Even the portions have gotten WAAAY smaller. Service is still great but definitely won't be spending money on their bbq anymore. Every time we go get food for probably the last 7-10 trips, it gets worse & worse. Really disappointing because this place used to be TOP NOTCH. read more

Caveat: we came in during an air show weekend and the restaurant had several orders from the air show but I have to rate them on our experience not on circumstances. We arrived just as they opened. There was no one to greet us for the first few minutes. Finally, someone came out from the back to let us know that they were busy, which sounded strange since they had just opened, but when they explained about the air show it made sense. The music is loud but that's expected. It is a bar after all...that serves barbecue. We ordered at the bar and sat down. BWE and I shared the Chuckwagon Classic Plate, and we added 1/3 lb of brisket. My son had the same Classic Plate. We got the beans and fries as our sides. When our food was brought to us, the server didn't give us utensils. We had to ask her for them. The portions seemed small. The brisket was not hot. It was room temperature. The fries and beans were just okay. We were underwhelmed. This is Texas. Our expectations were high but we were disappointed. It could be that the order from the air show overwhelmed them and left them little strength to give attention to our order so I'll give them a little grace and give them two stars instead of one. We won't be back. read more

Blue Pit Smokehouse - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Selma, Texas

Outstanding BBQ! Drove through a small industrial area in Selma to get to this place, and it's connected to a Mexican food restaurant as well. Noticed upon entrance, a humongous outdoor space connected to both restaurants which included plenty of outdoor seating tables and a stage. It must get busy on the weekends and I assume there's entertainment. Friendly greeting upon entering and seat yourself. Lots of TVs with Chive and enjoyed the country music in the background. Excellent service! Our server was friendly and checked on us frequently. Complimentary tortilla chips with a special seasoning and queso were brought to the table . I liked the seasoning. There's also a small complimentary condiment and BBQ sauce bar- which included onions, pickles, jalapeños, regular and spicy BBQ sauce. Pickles were nice and appeared home made. I dipped my meats in combos of both sauces, I enjoyed them both. We all ordered the two meat combos $18 with your choice of two sides and served with Texas toast. I ordered the brisket and pulled pork. Both were excellent! The brisket had a nice tiny fatty edge and was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork was deelish. Good portion size too. I enjoyed the beans, but the coleslaw not so much. The slaw was bland and had no flavor. Others at my table ordered the tater tots, which were highly seasoned and had a nice crunch. We were so full, had some leftovers for the next day. Great BBQ, great service! read more

Small little place but not popular so we were able to sit right away. Not like your traditional BBQ where you order from the counter and go sit, here you have wait staff which is nice so you are able to look over and talk about the food more. Had brisket, pulled pork which was good the sausage was a little dry but the sauce was good as well as all the sides. Overall a great place to go and enjoy when you want to get some BBQ and cobbler. read more

Small bbq restaurant next to Bluebonnet Palace and you can smell the wonderful bbq from the parking lot. Pretty small inside but there are outdoor seatings. They didn't have enough servers in my opinion as the person running the cash register also delivered the food. The food tasted great and the portion size is bigger than you think it would be. I would say it was a little more salty than most bbq foods I have had but it didn't ruin the meal. If you ever out in Selma, or waiting for a concert at Bluebonnet Palace, the Blue Pit Smokehouse is a must try read more

Seated immediately. Waitress was taking my order within a few minutes. Ordered a two meat plate with brisket, sausage, cola slaw and green beans. The regular sausage was not ready, all they had was jalapeño sausage so I changed to pulled pork. Nice and rustic, lots of wood inside. The brisket and the pulled pork were both outstanding! Portion size was very good as well. I normally get green beans due to their being low carb and don't really notice them but these got my attention! Not sure what they seasoned them with but I really liked their flavor. The coleslaw was also good, not overly sweet but crisp and fresh and seemed to taste a bit of apple. I have to say I will definitely be back next time I am in town. Excellent bar b que!! read more

We were visiting the area and found this sweet little spot by chance. It was clean, quick and so so delicious! They also give a slight discount for military, teachers and first responders. Would definitely recommend! read more

Popped in for a quick lunch with the family. We ordered two of the BBQ plates, with brisket, chicken and sausage. Sides were potato salad, mac and cheese, and tator tots. Brisket was juciy and delicious, the chicken was spot on. Sausage was pretty good too. As for the sides, the tots and potato salad were great. The mac and cheese however was bland. Service was very friendly and the cost was very reasonable. Portions are pretty large and we shared the two plates between us and our kids, and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. Good place to eat and worth the stop! read more

This is some good eatin! The menu was small, but that's ok. The brisket was tender, juicy and very flavorful. My family and i all ordered brisket meals - tacos, sandwiches and dinner entrees. Even though the sides weren't my favorite taste, the serving was big. The warm tortilla chips were the best I've had in a long time. I definitely recommend this place. They have a very beautiful bar top and a fun atmosphere. We met Josh, Jewel and other staff members were friendly and helpful. We will be back on a weekend night to enjoy the entertainment. Thank you. read more

Delicious BBQ and friendly staff. The meats were cooked to perfection and the side dishes were just as good. We will definitely be back!

Came to this restaurant because of the reviews. However, I was unpleasantly surprised with the salty brisket and cold sides that didn't have any flavor. Service was average, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant nor will I be returning. read more

Wow. Just wow. It's no secret that this area of town has very few lunch options that aren't chains or fast food. Today, I found my new GO TO lunch spot. For well under $10, I got a loaded brisket sandwich quickly and with excellent service. This place is a little honey hole in an industrial plaza. Great barbecue in a cozy cafe style restaurant and a huge outdoor sitting area for music and fun. Do yourself a favor and get over here. read more

Beans have no flavor. Layout is confusing and menu has no prices. Harmon's bbq is 1000% better. The service was solid but that may have been the only bright spot. Spend your money somewhere else unless you want a patio vibe for drinking read more

Went to Garden Ridge Market Days which was wonderful and went to Blue Pit Smokehouse for a lunch and food was wonderful and waitress was adorable! We had a delicious chopped brisket sandwich and Sauce which was awesome! Both sides were great potato salad and pinto beans! Quiet at lunch since their main event is Friday read more

Good food and amazing ambiance. The outdoor seating is amazing. We will definitely return to try something else.

Do not come here expecting good bbq. Place online order, the server has no idea it was placed. When I got home I noticed $12 worth of food was missing from the order. After going back and correcting it the food was terrible. The brisket was dry and fatty, the sausage was seeping with grease and the chicken was plain. Also all of the meat was heavily over salted. Not worth the money at all stay away. read more

We love Blue Pit, and wish it was open more days! Our go-to bbq spot, very friendly service and even better food!

I had the Brisket, its amazingly juicy and full of flavor. From the green beans to the mac n cheese delicious. One friend had the fish and the other had the chicken tenders. I'm sure they loves it. Between their moans of joy and eye rolling. Their servings were very generous. Than there was deserts. Peach cobbler was ... wow. One is my friend went back for thirds. I don't know where she put it at. Must go back again. read more

The bbq joint is in a complex with other small restaurants and entertainment. It's well appointed and very clean. Service was good even though she was new, she tried very hard every restaurant you go to is short staffed so u must be patient. I really wanted to like this place it's very cool but unfortunately the BBQ is only marginal. The brisket was cold and dry so was the German sausage. One of the other people in my party got the pulled pork that was also dry All in all the food was just not very good I was disappointed it has really great potential. Cheers read more

This is the best brisket I've had in the San Antonio area. It's also priced better than every BBQ place, so no reason to go elsewhere. Service is quick and staff is friendly. Give it a try and you'll be so happy you did. read more

Blue Pit Smokehouse - Juicy brisket!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Selma, Texas

First of all our food for my wife n i was served at different times so by the time her food was served my brisket was cold. The brisket was tough and burned. Tortillas were cold. Chicken Fried steak was the only good thing served. Service was inadequate read more

What an awesome place! I actually work nearby, and and cannot tell you how many times I have driven by this place. Tonight we finally stopped by! The entry can be a bit confusing, but you can eventually navigate your way around. This place is massive! There's a smokehouse, cantina, a dance hall, and a huge stage for music. We arrived around 7p on a Saturday night. Business was slow, and don't expect a full menu. They were sold out of a few things like jalapeno cheese sausage and coleslaw. The brisket, mac n cheese and peach cobbler-have mercy! So good! Prices are great as well, as per pound, prices are about 1-2 bucks less. The large sides are LARGE! Much bigger than what you would get at most bbq joints. Went over to the cantina and the BEST part, you buy food credits for every drink you buy. That's right! After a few margaritas, I earned a peach cobbler! This was the best drink incentive I've ever had! Just an amazing place. Everyone serving was so accommodating and nice. We are going back just as soon as I get a day off! read more

Well done!! read more

The cuts were too fatty and there was a whole piece of fat added to the order. Top layer of fat on the brisket should be cut off before slicing it. read more

Great tater tots, potato salad, chicken sandwich & macaroni & cheese. They were out of pulled pork. No ribs. The chairs were -AWFUL-. I'm apparently just at the height/weight that my legs didn't comfortably sit on the stool-height wrung and barely touching the floor my foot swelled then fell asleep. Awkward read more

Very pleasant server! The brisket nachos are fabulous! We also had the grilled cheese brisket sandwich and Mac and cheese. Very tasty and satisfying. read more

I'm glad I found this place despite rather few but glowing reviews of this establishment (two five-stars at the time). The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. I had the "Double Smokehouse Plate" with the choice of brisket and pulled pork for the meats and macaroni & cheese and Oma's potato salad for the sides. I also ordered a cup of homemade sweet tea. The "Double Smokehouse Plate" came with the aforementioned items and also two flour tortillas and onion and pickle relish. The brisket here that day was one of the better briskets I have had so far at other smokehouses: not being overcooked that it falls apart beyond what's reasonable but yet juicy and tender. However, the pulled pork was the highlight of the dish. It had a pleasant but prominent smoke taste that must be this establishment's signature blend. Surprisingly, I didn't want to dip the pulled pork into the barbecue sauce as I would normally do because it was so unique and flavorful by itself. The tortilla was an interesting choice since normally I would expect Texas-style toast, but I didn't have any issues with it. The mac & cheese was slightly too runny for my taste but the potato salad was excellent. The onion and pickle relish helped cut through the fattiness of the brisket very well. For $11.95, this dish is well worth the price for the quality and quantity of food. I definitely would revisit this place soon to try the other meats they have available. The service was great and the food was great. My only nitpick for this place was that I had an embarrassingly hard time finding how to enter the main restaurant (I saw the concert stage and outdoor bar initially and was confused if I came to the right place). read more

Awesome venue. From the moment you walk in your slammed with friendliness and I love it. Awesome spot for concerts. Social events etc. Everything we tried was great . Sweet tea. Was as sweet as a stuck of sugar cane but other than that loved it. read more
