    It's not exactly the traditional pit setup. But it's DAYMN good. The actual pit would've got em 5 stars. I get a hankering for pit beef about once a year. And there's nothing exactly like Maryland pit beef. It's a unique specialty. Large portions. Awesome sauces and sides. This place is always BUSY. Lotta happy and return customers. Some seating outside. Tip. If you're getting a takeout, make sure your order is correct. That's a recurring issue. Like I said. They're BUSY.

    Half way through our DC to Philly drive, my wife and I needed lunch. Just off of 95 is Fast Eddie's Pit Beef, a top rated BBQ joint in a strip mall. They bring real southern charm to their restaurant. From the moment you walk in and see the open kitchen roasting beef, the staff are engaging and friendly. They'll direct you to order their famous pit beef sandwich and ask how you want your beef down (same scale as a steak). The sandwich itself is big and is thicker cuts of beef compared to a BBQ sandwich. It is a bit dry so use one of the many sauces they have on the counter (my favorite was honey BBQ). Their sides are good especially the mac and cheese and coleslaw. It's not healthy food, but it's perfect road trip food!

    This place kind of missed the mark for me. I think the flies landing all over the counter with the horseradish and condiments and the overflowing trash can had something to do with it. Kind of grossed me out. Ordered a pit beef sandwich and fries and an order of burnt ends just to try them. The burnt ends were REALLY burnt. Not the juicy crispy kind you would get at a bbq place. They were tough and hard to chew. Then i noticed at the bottom were bits of burnt ham ends which were softer and better but still not something I would order again. The pit beef was cooked through, not rare like i ordered. A bit tough. Bread got soggy and fell apart. May have tasted better with the horseradish but considering it was only half covered with a lid and exposed to the flies i didnt take any. The fries were pretty good. They do a good job on hand cut fries. Malt vinegar is a available...but the flies again made me not interested. Overall it seemed like the kind of place that would not get a great health inspection. Looked like a good spot so I tried it once. But I wouldnt enjoy a return visit sorry to say.

    Best pit sandwich in Cecil County, Md!!

    Best pit beef in the area, prove me wrong!! Combos are the way to go for this place, they offer your choice of meat(s), some bombin' ass fries, and choice fountain beverage. Sauces are not included on sandwich, so make sure to grab on the way out, it definitely adds to the flavor profiles from the Beef/Turkey they have available... Medium is personal preference, but overall an awesome place for afternoon lunch craving!! Please, if you can do one thing, TIP heavily, a lot of TLC goes into making some flavorful meats!

    Food mediocre and service on my last visit was not good. Not sure if cashier was having a bad day or what. I will not be returning.

    The food was outstanding you can make brisket fries by doing the barnyard fries but add brisket…read moreeverything was 5 stars.

    Great place for BBQ. Has all the things that you would think they would have. There is plenty of…read moreparking. They have a bar area, a dining area, and an addition with even more seating. We sat in addition where it was rather loud due to 5 kids at one table with their parents, and another party of 12 in there. The acoustics aren't terrific. Didn't ruin the experience, but just know in case you are sensitive to noise. Ask to sit in other areas. Very friendly employees! From the moment you step in. Hostess was nice and our server was terrific (shout out to Riley). She kept checking in on us and made sure that we had all that we needed. We ordered a margarita and I wouldn't recommend this at all. It tasted like lemonade and a some tequila. They also put sugar on the rim. It was subpar to say the least. It was nothing as described on the menu (fresh squeezed lime juice). We ordered the fried pickles for an app and I highly recommend them. The sauce that is served with them is great! For entrees, we ordered the Bone & Butt (ribs w/pulled pork) with a side of baked beans and a burnt ends meal with sweet potato fries. The ribs and pulled pork were absolutely great! Even the burnt ends were good too. However, I do like super wet sauces and they do come drenched in BBQ sauce. That was a me problem as I should have asked and I forgot. I should have ordered them plain. The corn bread was okay. We asked for butter for that. The fries were fabulous. The baked beans equally as good. There are two different sauces on the table for you to put all over the things. You can tell that they are making these things in house and take great care to make sure that they are good quality. The portions are terrific and the prices super reasonable. They have an extensive dessert menu. We didn't order as couldn't fit anything else. We even had to take to go boxes. This is located near Great Wolf Lodge! If you are staying there, this is super close and worth the drive. It's also not far off of 95 so if you are in the area swing by - worth the drive off of 95 (not far at all). Would for sure come again! Very tasty.
