Both were moist and fresh. Was expecting a little more flavor from the pit beef, but it was still good. My husband got their $12 Thanksgiving turkey special. For the price, this place is an awesome value. Lots of homemade sauces to choose from and their homemade fries were also delicious. I reallyyyy appreciate the platter of thin sliced onions and horseradish they have too. Service was super quick and everyone was friendly. Definitely recommend this place for a casual lunch and even party catering!

Ten years ago, I met Kathy. She used to work at AAI just up the road from Charcoal Deli. She said…read moreMark ran a great shop and the pit beef was great. Also, their Lemonade/Half&Half/Flavorade drink was exceptional, primarily because Mark brewed his own sugar syrup. She's right. I can't speak to the other items on the menu because I'm smitten by the Pit Beef. I live just inside the beltway. We usually call in the order, get in the car and by the time we get there, the food is ready. You can eat at the picnic table out front, or in your car. Sometimes we wait until we get back home. You've probably blown by Church Road a thousand times. Go west, one block. Charcoal Deli is on the right. And there's a hispanic grocery store right there in case you need to pick up a few things. Here's a picture all dressed up for Summer with the awnings and umbrellas.

I got a pit turkey for lunch the next day! Same concept, very great tasting turkey, but a little too much roll. The Pit chicken my wife had gotten had a delicious taste to it. The fries come a plenty! A little salty, but fresh cut! The location was convenient right off the main drag near Cockeysville. Service was great! They messed up the order, but we're quick to fix everything and gave a little extra fries for the mishap! The location itself was unique. Baseball cards were plexy glassed into the counter. We went at night time, unsure if there was seating or not. We got ours to go. Quick little to go counter worked well.

I ordered quickly without fully checking out the menu, but I was pleasantly surprised by how extensive it was -- there's something for almost every palate. My wings were fried to perfection. Even though they were mostly flash-fried, there was something about them that made them stand out from the usual. The dry rub wasn't overly salty, and they weren't fried so hard that reheating them later was an issue. The fried rice, while typical, was loaded with veggies and fried egg. I didn't even need soy sauce or yum yum sauce -- it was delicious just as it was! I even took some to work the next day, pairing it with leftover salmon my husband made for dinner. The staff was very friendly, and the manager (possibly the owner) was great, making sure I had everything I needed to include grabbing condiments before I left. The space was open, bright, colorful, and felt exceptionally clean. I really hope they keep up the good work and don't slack off over time. We need places like this to stick around -- especially since I've got my eye on the onion rings and fried okra for next time!

To start, I was disappointed to find no pit, no open flames -- not even a grill in sight. The kitchen area looked clean, but that's not what I came for. I ordered a medium pit beef and a ham sandwich, both on Kaiser rolls. To my surprise, the food was heated up on a griddle. If I hadn't already paid, I would have left right then and there. The woman who took my order was polite, but frankly, service and friendliness aren't why I visited. I came expecting authentic pit meats, and this place falls short. It's not a smokehouse, nor does it resemble a proper pit beef stand. If you're looking for genuine pit beef, save your money and go elsewhere. I will add this.... The secret sauce is probably really good on some wings!

Anyways, I got an original cheesesteak with the works and hot peppers. It was flavorful with the right amount of spice. I also got garlic parm wings which were heavenly. They were meaty and full of flavor from the sauce. The service was fast and friendly too! But the area itself is a little sketchy. Go with friends. Overall, I highly recommend if you're looking for good comfort food and reasonable pricing!

It doesn't look like much just like a shack on the side of the road but the food here was delicious. Plenty of parking and right next to a go kart spot. Walk up window with a small outdoor space to sit and eat. Menu is the basics of pit beef and other bbq meats you'd expect. The prices here are very reasonable and the portions are solid. The service here was friendly and welcoming. Ordering was simple enough. I got a turkey and pit beef sandwich and it was soo amazing. The pit beef was juicy and not dry at all, the turkey also well seasoned and juicy. Sandwich was a good size and filled me up. Will definitely be back when I have a pit beef craving and highly recommend especially over that other place down the road .
