I don't know what they make there hamburgers with but it's sure not 100% beef. It tasted disgusting and fell apart when I tried to eat it. I paid $7.98 and it didn't come with fries. I will never come here again. Maybe I should have tried the barbecue. But the hamburger was disgusting. read more

Friendly staff, great food, You won't leave hungry. Frankie the owner is a great guy helping the community.

Our new stop when we travel. Great banana split. Ribs are large and tasty. It is worth the trip.

Amazing food and service. Very friendly staff and the owner Frankie comes by to check on you.

One of the most friendliest staff/people in a restaurants I've been to, good food and good people. I definite going back. Next I'll leave room for ice cream. read more

Today was the first time that my wife and I stopped by after visiting Lake Livingston. We were originally going to stop at Whataburger but after some searching for a local restaurant we decided to stop here. From the outside the place looks a bit small but inside its pretty spacious and decorated very nicely. It reminds me of a 50s style restaurant like on the movie Grease. I had a baked potato with chopped Beef and I can definitely say that it was one of the best that I have had for a while. The meat tasted very fresh like if it had been cooked earlier that day. The service staff was very nice and attentive if we needed anything like drinks or napkins. The price was not expensive at all and we definitely left full and satisfied. After we finished the owner came around and greeted us and asked if we had enjoyed our meal. That was a very nice gesture that doesn't happen too often in restaurants and it is definitely welcomed. Overall I will be stopping by again and definatley recommend to anyone thinking of stopping by. read more

Felt comfortable from the second I walked in and was greeted with a smile & warm welcome. Food was LEGIT. Staff was very friendly. Great food, great atmosphere & great customer service.. what more can you ask for? read more

Great food and friendly service in a town where that is rare. If you're coming through Livingston stop here!

Great place and the owner is a great man to. He got a big heart and the food and decorated 50 look is great.

The food has been great the last 3 times I have eaten there. The dining area needs a good clean. I notice some wipe at the table with a hit & miss attitude & some really clean it. I also think someone should at least acknowledge when you walk in instead of ignoring you. The only reason I don't give them a 5 is because of cleanliness & service. read more

I love this place. Good food, And the owner is very personable. And the staff are superior.

Food was great. Burgers, frito pie, and chicken strips, & onion rings were all tasty. Service was a bit slow but I think they were busier than usual and the waitress was super nice. read more

Great place to eat. Food is very good, staff are Great! You will feel welcome as soon as you enter. Don't miss this restaurant when in Livingston. read more

First of all, we were very impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant; the ambiance was neat and the decor was adorable. Secondly, the positive attitudes of the entire staff made this experience so refreshing. They were so friendly and service was very quick! We didn't realize when we showed up that they were closing in 10 minutes, but not one employee made us feel like they were inconvenienced with having to serve us so close to closing time! And lastly, the food was awesome! The ribs and homemade BBQ sauce were full of flavor and the ribs were very tender. The potato salad and beans were also on point!!! The chicken fried chicken is also very good!! The owner even stopped by our table and was very friendly and told us his story. He is very down to earth! We were thoroughly impressed! read more

I visited the Pit Row Pit Stop for the first time, about two weeks ago. It was definitely an enjoyable experience. The staff was very nice and accommodating, making sure we received a table large enough for our party. The owner made it a point to come out and ask how the food was and how his customers were doing-which BTW is amazing and I wished more restaurants would do the same. I ordered the regular burger, and it was delicious. It was very large and there was a considerable amount of veggies on it too. The bread-which I believe was sour dough-complimented the burger very well. The price is a little high for just a burger and no fries, however, I think it's okay to pay a little more for the excellent service, and for the experience. For Livingston, the Pit Row Pit Stope is definitely a better alternative to McDonalds, Burger King, and Sonic. Definitely a great place to dine out! read more

In town for a wedding and wanted some place fun and local for breakfast. Fun exterior and interior. All the waitstaff were great. HIGHLY recommend the blueberry pancakes. Tons of blueberries inside, not just sprinkled on the top like some places. The french toast was recommended by our waitress and it was also fabulous; lots of cinnamon and cooked to perfection. One person in our party ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Omelet; she wouldn't re-order because of too many peppers. The homemade biscuits were also a hit. Would definitely go back next time I'm in Livingston. read more

What a great place for lunch. I was very impressed with the food; the cheeseburger was made fresh and the curly fries are delicious. The ambiance is quite adorable, and the service was superb. I will be back soon! read more

Good food but they were completely out of BBQ when we went (Monday) so didn't get to experience that. Great service would go again but it's over an hour away. read more

Came through town for work and stopped here for lunch. Food was excellent, restaurant was very clean, and staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

My 10 year old and I stopped in here on the way home from Camp Cho Yeh. My son told me to give them 5 stars because he loved the jukebox, the huge jars of colored sprinkles and the clean bathrooms. I have to agree with him because of the fresh cooked food, the generous portions and the friendly service. We came at rush hour and the wait staff kept their cool. They were sweet, smiley and polite the whole time. Plus, there was plenty of nostalgia up on the walls to keep us talking. My cheesesteak was 8 ounces of top sirloin on a toasted bun with grilled onions and sweet pepper. My son got the spare ribs, which were perfectly moist and tangy. Dessert was a "rainbow" milkshake with every color of sprinkles and a mountain of whipped cream. Super cute place. read more

Wonderfully friendly waitstaff. Good burgers. Grilled chicken sandwich was definitely homemade - not a prefab patty. Husband had the pulled pork and it was tasty as well. A little off the beaten track, but would definitely recommend this place over the chain fast food joints. The ice cream deserts looked yummy but we were too full and it was getting late. Maybe next time.... read more

The inside aesthetics were absolutely pleasurable. Unfortunately, the decor was the only aspect noteworthy. Unless you love waiting an hour and a half for a plate of scrambled eggs, I recommend looking elsewhere for an easy breakfast dish. Our server forgot multiple items off our plates when the food finally did arrive and did not bring our drinks until 30 minutes of sitting there. We were not the only ones garnering turtle time service either, a group of people who were there before us walked out before their food arrived because of how long they'd waited. read more

Great diner! Owner built it himself and it is awesome. Staff are super friendly and the food was fantastic. Easy to give a great rating. Lots of locals here too. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. read more

Best ribs I've ever put in my mouth! I am a rib eater. When there are ribs on the menu, I have them. This place is a jewel. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich and it was great also but she said she would get the ribs also next time. We will be back! read more

Great BBQ. Lots of menu items for a diner. Clean. Owner and staff very friendly. We had the BBQ beef and pork. Next time ice cream.

Great, fresh food! We are usually hesitant to try local places while traveling, but we found this place while looking on Yelp as we were passing through. What a wonderful gem of a place! read more

Really pleased with the chicken fried steak. Made in house well seasoned with plenty of gravy. Nice little place with a diner feel with a soda shop vibe. read more

Great cheese steak sandwich. But you get admonished for putting catsup on it! Service was fast and pleasant

The place is unassuming and you might miss it but shouldn't! Burger was well seasoned and the bun was fresh and tasty. The BBQ ribs were the most tender I have had in a long time and dessert was Blue Bell shakes!!! Yum read more

They are to expensive and the food is not all that great and the shakes are too small for the price they charge

This a true BBQ pit and has mastered the art of cooking ribs, and brisket. If you pass thru Livingston TX and don't eat here you have made a great error . read more

Such a fun place to eat! Great burgers and fun atmosphere... very attentive staff too!

For 2 years, my mother, all her friends, my uncle and so many have RAVED about Pit Row Pit Stop! I FINALLY got the chance to experience this place for myself...twice (no shame)! First and foremost, I have always loved the look of this little gem from the road. The decor is bright and exactly what you would expect from its name...centered around old cars. There is a friendly feel as soon as you walk in & it is only enhanced by either one of the staff, or the owner himself, welcoming you. The menu is the perfect size; plenty of options, but not too overwhelming. And, as someone who lives in the big city (Houston), I could give a soliloquy on how amazing the prices are for the very generous portions of food you receive! Now, let's get to the good stuff...fair pricing is great, but if the food isn't, then it's not so exciting. But, I can honestly say that the food is....FANTASTIC! Everything is fresh and made-to-order and EVERYTHING is flavorful and, again, the portions are VERY generous! To top off the experience, the waitstaff is very friendly, attentive to your needs and (my big thing)...keeps your drinks filled! The owner, Frankie, also makes his way around the restaurant greeting every patron, but more than just saying "is everything okay", he actually engages, thanks you for coming and finds out a little bit about you! Whether you are traveling down 190 to Naskila, or just traveling along 59 through Livingston; you MUST take the turn that takes you to this place. You won't be sorry, but what you will be is glad that you stopped and full of good eats when you leave! Pit Row....a NECESSARY Pit Stop! read more

On our travels we enjoy eating at local places. This Pit Stop had a great atmosphere and decor. The waitresses were very outgoing and caring about our experience. The chopped ribeye sandwich and bake beans where superb. The Chile cheese fry were good... just too much cheese sauce. So if you order that ask for light sauce and it will be balanced with yummy goodness. Oh and it would be nice to serve that meal on a hard plate not a plastic tray with paper. If we lived there we would probably go there often. It's worth stopping in. read more

Just love this place!! We will be coming back!! My daughters had the hamburgers. My husband and I had the pulled pork sandwiches. The jalapeño corn fritters were not so good, but they were decent. We had the cherry limeade. Little to sweet, but it was good with added water and limes. The owner came out and spoke to us and he's really nice and caring about his customers. The waitresses were sweet and attentive. read more

This is one of the best places to make a point of trying. Top notch service, friendly and attentive staff. Owner has a friendly presence, greeting and checking on his customers. Clean and nostalgic decore. It's a busy little place. I make it a point to come in at least once a week. If you enjoy homemade burgers that more than fill a tummy...this is a great place to start. read more

Fantastic food made one order at a time kist the way you want it. Burgers were crispy and juicy just like a new "burger dive" should have. Great attentive service from servers and owner, alike. read more
