It has been a few years since I've been to chaps and recently heard that there are a few outposts so where I was near Glen Burnie I decided to try one of them as I was in the mood to drive to Baltimore I got a beef sandwich, medium rare, a small gravy fry, and a small soda. The sandwich seemed a bit skinnier than what I recall, and was probably more medium to medium well the medium rare, but it was still very flavorful. I added some of their house barbecue and tiger sauce. The fries seemed fresh in the gravy was a different touch. As for the atmosphere, the place was relatively clean, however, seemed a little neglected. One of the soda fountains was out of order and the sign on it seemed like it had been there a while. At least one of the soda selections on the other soda machine was out. They did have a nice selection of condiments such as pickles, onions, tiger sauce, horseradish, etc. in Little plastic cups.. One thing that was missing was any heat. I don't mean heat from the food but rather heating in the shop. Perhaps in the kitchen, they stay warm with the grills, but the dining room was absolutely frigid. If I returned to this location, it will probably be for takeout. read more

I read the reviews for this location and noticed that they are much lower than the Baltimore (original?) location. I wouldn't give ZERO because the sides (Beans and Mac n Cheese) we delicious but the Pit Beef sandwich was awful. Tough and fatty.I don't know if it is bad quality meat or poorly prepared but it wasn't good at all. It took me 5 min to get the fat from between my teeth. I'm sure the original location is much better. Very disappointing and it takes a lot for me to EVER give a bad review. Trust the other reviews and mine. If you go, go to the Baltimore location. read more

Ordered 3 sandwiches had to wait 50 mins. I was told no fries for 30mins so I didn't order any. Had 1 person slicing and preparing all the sandwiches. Food was good,but not worth the wait. read more

I found myself in Glen Burnie, getting an oil change and figured I'll make the trip to Chaps Pit Beef. I'm conflicted on how to review this. The beef was pure flavor, town smoky tender, and spiced just right. But the portion size felt like someone whispered portion control and really took it heart. I'm used to overflowing sandwiches that are big enough for two servings. This felt more like a slider. And the beans which are normally my favorite side at a pit beef place were really tangy. Also, they were served in a container that might've been borrowed from my niece's doll house-tiny. I appreciated the fresh brewed iced tea, which was available and two flavor, sweet and unsweetened. The free pickle slices were a fun touch like a bonus snack. All in all not bad, but I'm still looking for my ultimate pit beef stop. read more

We spent $80+ ... We got a burned Double D Burger, Burned Chicken Wings and a very poorly put together Ham and Cole slaw sandwich which tasted awful. The fries were so greasy, then they poured the gravy right over the grease. Ugh! The only good part of the $80 order were the Baked Beans. I have wanted to try this place for a long time now and regret it. When we called to let them know (not complain) they were not interested in what we had to say. NEVER AGAIN! I will drive the 20 min to Odenton the next time I want a good Pit Sandwich. read more

First time at a Chaps. Got a beef sandwich and a side of baked beans to go. It was early afternoon on a Saturday and I was the only customer. My order was taken quickly and i was served in a couple minutes at the pickup window. When ordering, I asked about some of the sides and the order-taker really had no idea on how to explain anything, which made it difficult to choose what to get. She did offer a sample of the beans, which I accepted. They were vinegar'y? But it was for my husband and knew he'd like them. The beef sandwich was good, though comes with no sauces or anything, just meat and bread. The "small" side order is a bit of a joke for $3, guessing a quarter cup that can be finished in 3 bites. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of staff to fulfill orders. read more

For my Pit Beef I have always been a strict Bull on the Beach girl. My nephew and his pregnant girlfriend suggested I try this on my last trip home. OMG! The pit beef sandwich was AMAZING! Soooo good and flavorful! (And much cheaper than the other place). If you get to craving a good pit beef sandwich, I encourage you to try this place out. Service was good, spacious seating area, a variety of foods at a great price! I have searched all over Tucson for the perfect pit beef sandwich and nothing has come close! I would love to put in a request to please please please open one of these in Tucson, AZ!!! read more

I made a special trip to Chap's because I don't live in the area and was in the Baltimore area on business. We visited on 3/8/25 @ 3:23pm. Our order number was 213656. I asked for fries with gravy. The cashier said they didn't serve that. I had gotten this side for many years. Someone who came in later, when we were our way out, had a side of fries with gravy. I am so disappointed. This cashier was inattentive and offered no greeting when we walked in. She never looked up and never asked if we were going to dine-in. Unacceptable! The worst customer service that I have ever received at Chap's. Please do something about the staff that man's the register. You can do better. read more

Talk about being disappointed. I had this on my list to visit because of the reviews on Triple D and some review I had seen. I ordered the Chaps Pit Beef sandwich (best in Baltimore) if so, I feel bad for Baltimore and an order of the wings. The sandwich was a huge disappointment, small, dry and absolutely no taste. The wings were a very good size but one of them tasted as if was bad, it had a funky taste to it and we didn't,t finish them. We just got water to drink and when we went to the dispenser the water was grey, yes grey. As I said I was totally disappointed and walked away like a meal was wasted. If this was on your list grab an eraser. read more

Very friendly staff. Food came out pretty quick as well. Would have like to have seen a little more meat on the put beef sandwich but it was pretty good. read more

I thought I ordered Cheese fries, not cheese soup. This place is awful. And not just because of the lousy service from the employees that hate their job. But the fact that they can't do their job. And the fact that this food, somehow isn't up to par with the main location in the city. The place itself kinda sucks to eat in. The table for condiments was an absolute mess. The pit beef sandwich I got wasn't really prepared correctly. Very sloppy, and the toppings were not cut properly and sloppily thrown onto the sandwich. And then there was the cheese fries. I like cheese as much as the next obese American, but this was entirely too much and I don't know why any adult would think that having so much covering the fries was a good idea. Maybe they were trolling, maybe one of the cooks didn't like me. This was so bad, it almost seemed personal. With all of this said, if you want to go to Chaps, go to the one in the city. This one is NOT it. read more

If you haven't been to the original location this location will do, but if you've been to the Pulaski Highway location (where Bourdain visited) you've had the best. This will NOT measure up. It's a perfectly satisfying sandwich. Plenty of meat, cooked nicely. You've got a million choices when it comes to sauces. There are pickles and horseradish. It's all fine. But I spent my entire lunch listening to my boyfriend lament about the lack of smoke flavor - because this location is in a strip MALL, not in the parking lot of a strip CLUB, which means there's no smoker. I am glad that the weather was nice, so we could use the picnic table out front because the music was so loud I couldn't converse with my boyfriend, and my life is incomplete if I can't have sarcastic conversations with him at all times. It wasn't even bad music. It was Prince, and the Eurythmics, and stuff that I normally love - but it was being played at Forever 21 decibels. I realize that I am now officially old, because the music was too loud. Sorry/NotSorry... I mean, I can't imagine that Chaps Pit Beef is high on the places to eat list of the younger crowd. Turn the music down, just a tiny bit? I'm glad that we tried this location. It taught me not to bother with any of the other locales. I'll stick with going down the street to the Gold Club Original location. read more

We decided to try this spot since we had heard about their Baltimore location. Now there is nothings fancy about this place. It does pit beef and other meats. Your expectations should not be high. I had The Raven and baked beans. The Raven was good except they just put a slice of cold cheese on it when they could have melted or heated a little bit. The beams were sub par. Based on that they get 3stars. read more

Chaps Pit Beef - The Raven Sandwich and Homemade Baked Beans (Small) - Barbeque Near Me - Glen Burnie, Maryland

Should have read the reviews first, but live and learn. I normally patronize their other locations so this is my first time here. Beef was good, but unfortunately when I picked my order up at the window and I went to sit down and I pulled out the fries, there was nasty black grease and dripping all over the place. Got all over my clothes and you can see from the picture how it completely covered the bag as well as the container they were in. Nasty nasty nasty. Please invest in a grease filter and filter your oil every day. This oil looks like it's six months old without being filtered or changed. The grease was so nasty it looked like it came out of a car with 100,000 miles on it!! Completely ridiculous! read more

Service was outstanding! Ordered at closing time, but they accommodated us and even put Thursday night football on their tv at our request. I asked the hard working woman cleaning if we had to leave, and she said they were closed but not to hurry as she was okay if we finished the quarter of the game. Food was good considering we were served at the very end of the night. But the kind staff, clean environment, and over accommodating staff, has me wanting to go back during peak service hours to try the fresh out the smoker food. read more

Originally inspired to eat at Chaps Baltimore after drooling over Instagram photos, we drove 40mins for a sandwich & the experience was well worth it...so we were over the moon to discover they were opening a location 15 minutes away from us! Navigating to this location was a lot easier, not just because of the time of the drive, but because the parking lot was a lot less crowded & it was much easier to walk-in for to-go orders. Though, I will say-customer service was a lot better at the Baltimore location-friendlier staff, who were more willing to assist with the sides & sauces. This visit we placed an online order for pick up including 6 entrees: 1 gravy beef platter, 1 chicken meal, 4 sandwiches- & 3 sides including: fries, chili, and green beans. Upon arrival, there was a definite mix-up with the bagging of our order- we ended up with only 3 of our ordered entrees & 5 sides of fries. (We were missing 3 sandwiches, the chili, & the green beans.) It took awhile to get the front staff to help obtain our missing order- they kept asking me to wait-passing me from staff to staff- while they filled new orders- which was disappointing as our current food was getting colder. In the meantime of waiting, I tried to work with the pick-up window staff to obtain the toppings sides (normally out for self-service-now behind the counter for COVID- I asked for pickles, onions, and sauces for 6 entrees)- the first staff member told me 'oh no, that's too many'- but I showed him my receipt explaining we bought 6 entrees & everyone wants their own bbq & toppings. This process was even more frustrating than trying to get our whole order- again I was passed around to various staff members being told, that's a lot of sauce...which was a bit shocking since when they finally packaged everything, it was all in pre-made to-go containers, so it wasn't like they had to make all the sauce containers, they just had to be willing to bag it for me and they weren't. When we finally obtained all of our food, made it home- the containers were a hot mess- true the fries were all extra food that wasn't originally in our order, so yay-but they were leaking out of poorly constructed containers everywhere, creating a greasy mess. The guy who was frustrated packing our sauces just threw them in-so they leaked, and the green beans side was the SMALLEST scoop of beans in a bbq sauce to-go container, as if they just didn't try to locate an actual sides container :( So -not the best take-out experience when trying to place a larger order...but I can't knock the quality of the food The fries- while a greasy pile of mess- were well-seasoned, crispy cut, I couldn't stop eating them-very unfortunate for my tummy that we ended up with so many haha The Big John-BIG indeed-packed with so much meat- I had to cut the sandwich apart to add sauce within the layers & figure out how to take a bite. I even ended up taking off some meat for leftovers & still had a massively hearty sandwich with the same great juicy, well smoked quality- We haven't eaten the chili yet-leftover adventure tomorrow! Overall, probably best to skip online order & go in to specifically ensure the order is correct- but still worth the hassle! read more

Chaps Pit Beef - Fresh Cut Gravy Fry (Large) - Barbeque Near Me - Glen Burnie, Maryland

I was really craving chaps and was in the area. The location is convenient off of Ritchie highway. I ordered a Rachel and split a large fry with my bf. Sadly, this just isn't the chaps I remembered. First of all, the staff all had attitudes and clearly didn't want to be there. The fries had absolutely zero seasoning. The Rachel was just ok. And I had a bite of my bf's pit beef sandwich, and it had no flavor either. Also the meat was mostly fat. read more

I feel like the Glen Burnie location doesn't get the Yelp. Love that some of the other places get, but the food is always great, casual, easy place to get to. I wonder if folks are expecting fast food speed, but this is so much better than any fast food could ever dream of. Today I had the turkey, Rachel, and a side of green beans. Both are really good and I'd be happy to get them again. read more

Very clean and great service, great people working there, they were not very crowded like the original is but hopefully they will be.

The atmosphere was ok Ordered a pit beef sandwich ( well done) String beans with tomatoes Medium sweet tea The sandwich was ok just dry with even adding barbecue sauce ,, them string beans I won't never order again ( too many stems and overly seasoned with old bay and whatever other seasoning that they use) The fountain tea was good tho Wasted $15! read more

The staff is extremely nice and kind! Reason for any stars. If you have nothing to compare the food to it is kind of okay. The flavor is much like school food and I am not sure I like the lemon soap taste in "home-made" mac & cheese. It was not even through out. The size of the sandwich was very generous texture so so but it is late I the day so that can be expected. As for what to put on your sandwich there are many unlabeled little containers and there are no signs above the boxes so you can guess what you are picking out. I recommend the pickles they were the best part of the meal. Just don't think about how ANYONE could have opened up the little I guess store filled containers may have been and opened licked or who knows what. BBQ sauce choices the are to commercial brands and two without any real labels. I tried the one I thought might have been house but tasted nothing like what I had gotten at original place. For a lot less money you can go to giant food get some roast beef and bread and "sweet baby rays". You have saved money and had a better meal. yes I did have to ask for a refund. I could not eat it. Again the staff was very nice and they were great. I have been to the original and it is amazing. It just does not translate away from the owners in my opinion. The ONLY napkin holder in the very back of the store was over filled on my visit so only able to bet bits of napkins when I ask about additional napkins I was referred to what I had already attempted. I had such hope for this, but like most small really good places they would rather have more money and don't care what the product tastes like. read more

Absolutely the best! We decided to drive out and try another location this spot is pretty nice actually more space,less crowded and very nice staff. We decided to order a few items and share. My friend was hesitant to get gravy on everything so we got it on the side. I was between minced bbq (beef) and the pork bbq sandwich. Went with the pork Delicious and after tasting the gravy we ended up putting gravy "On Everything". The gravy by far was the game changing super tasty and deserved 5 stars on it's on . The only suggestion is to fry the fries for a few minutes less, they were good but a minute or two crisper than preferred. read more

While the food was decent, the prices were way higher so we will continue to go all the way to Pasadena for beefalo bobs. Turkey sandwich at chaps was $11.85. Tiny gravy was $3.50 and small fries $5. All almost double the price of beefalo at smaller portions read more

Some of the worst food I've ever had. Ordered a pit beef sandwich, cheese fries and a side of cole slaw. The beef in the sandwich had so much fat on it I couldn't even chew half the sandwich, was like biting into a brick of rubber. The cheese fries were on another level of disgusting, the cheese tasted like it was old and spoiled. The Cole slaw looked like it had been made a week ago, it was brown and soggy and even had a funny smell. Took a few bites and this food went in the TRASH. Dont waste your money here. read more

For a $27 bill (including tip) from uber eats you think you'd be full. I got Guy's triple d, was maybe 6 inches, take was nothing special. Thought sandwich would have some sort of flavor... Nope and I didn't think I should have to pay $4 for 4 oz of bbq sauce. And the. Nickel and dime you to add condiments. And to top it I got the small potato salad. And boy was it small I finished it in 2 bites. $1 an ounce for potato salad. Uber eats just says small not that it is only 4 oz. Definitely wouldn't recommend for the price. Good thing my employer paid for and not my hard earned money. read more

I stopped In there on 3/2 for the first and last time the turkey tasted bad and my fries were cold 17.00 wasted I'll stick to Beefalo Bobs

I've gone to all the chaps around the DMV and this one has disappointed me at least 3 out of 5 times. While I understand the job market is suffering, you still have to hire qualified people. Chicken platter with chicken nearly bleeding! Turkey rachel is not supposed to have burnt ends, that's only for burnt ends of ribs! And if all else fails, at least hire someone who can toast my bread without putting it over the direct flame! I think will make the drive to Baltimore or maybe even Leesburg from now on! I can certainly tell that there's a new crew in Glen Burnie and my family won't be eating their OJT BBQ! read more

I was sop happy when they announced they were opening another location in Glen Burnie since I absolutely love the location in Baltimore by my work. But unfortunately the Glen Burnie location is nothing like that location. You can go into the Baltimore location when it is packed and get your food within a few minutes. The Glen Burnie location is a sad excuse for a franchise. I stopped there the other evening where 3 people were working and only 1 other customer in the store. After taking my order the young lady proceded to clean the tables and one of the kitchen workers was following her around like a lost puppy. After a while I kept looking at her and finally said can you check my order. She turned to the man and said you need to go get the order done. It took over 20 minutes to get a medium pit beef. I love Chaps but will not be going to the Glen Burnie location ever again. read more

I love Chaps and was so excited for this location to come closer to where I live. However after getting take out a few times and dining in recently, I'm not impressed with this location. For a somewhat new location it really needs a good cleaning. Lots of trash on the walls, dirty tables, broken, loud and dusty soda machine. Staff is friend, food is okay but has gotten worst with every visit. I don't mind get condiments from the window but it really is a hassle and very odd. I always get the pit turkey and today it was very grey in color. read more

I was so looking forward to have a roast beef sandwich since it was named best sandwich in Maryland. I entered the Glen Bernie store at 11 am last Saturday. I was only customer. Ordered a roast beef sandwich with raw onion. Got my drink and sat down to wait for my order. Took about 20 minutes to get my order. I unwrapped the sandwich and put my condiments on it. When I picked up the sandwich (in great anticipation) the bun (way past being fresh) fell apart in my hands. Then I took my first bite...to my consternation I got a mouth full of gristle...so tough I couldn't chew it. The whole sandwich was the same. Whoever sliced that meat had to know it was bad. Should have been named the WORST SANDWICH IN MD!!! read more

After a few years we made it back to Chaps. This was the first time at this location. Our first visit two days ago yielded a sandwich about two inches or more filled with meat sauce and kraut. I loved it. My husband had the Guys Special his favorite also. Today we came back and both ordered the Ruben. The sandwich wasn't as thick with meat. They probably weighed it and was exact where my sandwich before was generous. I felt cheated. His bread was burned black. The sandwich would have tasted good but all he tasted was burned bread. The $2.30 4 oz beans was a big disappointment. It was delicious. Today we ordered the large which was a generous cup of beans for $3.10. A much better deal. While I love Chaps. I might drive the extra to go to the main store. The ambiance and their sandwiches at least make you feel like you're getting more for your money. read more

I wouldn't go back. I ordered the beef platter. They asked how I wanted it cooked by showing me a pic of 5 levels of done-ness. I picked medium (some pink) . What I got was 4 (maybe 5 thin pieces of "well done" and all grey meat with a leathery chewy bite. Hard to chew, and swallow. No flavor. Never again. Fries and gravy were decent. Son got the cheeseburger. Good size. Very filling. Husband got the ribs. Very wet and messy. But falling off the bone which is a good thing. Drenched in their house sauce which had a very distinct flavor. Kinda like a watery ketchup-y, hot sauce-ish, bbq sauce. It was weird - but it grows on you. Dessert - now I love Banana Pudding and still have not to this day had any that were made properly in a restaurant that I've visited. Chaps banana pudding was the worst. First of all, I can count. Second of all, there was 2 (TWO) slices of banana in my portion. So disappointed. Overall, the good parts (including cleanliness and convenient location) still wouldn't be worth going back to visit. Chaps needs quality control by way of a secret shopper or something. read more
