YUM!!! I had Pit and Pastry for lunch today and it was fantastic. Amazing deal, huge portions and even bigger flavor. By FAR the best BBQ around - significantly better than anything I've had in the cville area. As far as I know, they are at the cville city market every Saturday, so you'll have to be ok grabbing and going or eating outside at one of the standing tables.
The portion sizes are MASSIVE! We got a platter which comes with a choice of either shredded chicken or pork (or you can split 50/50 like we did) with two sides (Mac and cheese, pesto potatos, cucumber salad) and a cookie (hence, the "pastry").
They had samplers of the meat and I tried the pork and knew I was going to love it. I was shocked at how much food it was - the platter itself was $15 with tax and tip it came out to about $18. The platter fed two HUNGRY adults and there was leftovers!! We were shocked at how much food it was. The meat was perfectly done, tender juicy and smoky. Super flavorful. The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, it's baked - don't get me wrong, for a baked Mac and cheese this one is actually really good, but it has the same issue most baked macs do - once it sits for awhile, it becomes pasta in grease with cheese on top. It was fine, more flavorful than others I've had around here, but could use a little more sauce. The pesto potatos were AMAZING. Literally so good.
The people that work here are super nice and know what they're doing. They grill the meat in front of you too so it smells amazing. Already looking forward to being back.
Do yourself a favor and stop by their stall at the cville city market on Saturdays. You won't be disappointed!! read more
