Great stop on our way from California! There is parking behind on the street for RV's. We are pulling a 43' 5th wheel and we're able to get in and out! We ordered ahead and it was ready when we got there! read more

Amazing food coming from New York and it was one of the best bbq I've had in Texas. Amazing place

One word: DELICIOUS! This is definitely worth stopping by. We ordered pulled pork and coleslaw. Large portions! We will definitely be returning on our way back through Texas. read more

When you're starving and in the middle of literal nowhere and find some of the best pulled pork tacos you've ever had. P.S. the red head kid who works there is destined for bigger things; killer salesman. read more

great service and food! You have to try the cream corn it's delicious!

Excellent barbecue, the creamed corn was amazing, and we liked the coleslaw with the pineapple in it. I will admit that I was glad know of the pineapple in advance because if I had been wanting "regular" coleslaw, I would have been disappointed. The inside is small, but extremely clean and there is tons of seating outside. The service was fast and we were checked on twice to see if we needed anything else. A word to the wise: there is only one bathroom and it has one toilet. read more

Absolutely delicious! Service is great! Staff is welcoming, patient, friendly and attentive! A must stop when visiting Sonora!

Oh my goodness - delicious!! We got a pound of the sliced brisket and a pint of slaw. The brisket was soooo tender - no knife needed. We took each delicious bite with a generous squirt of bbq sauce. The slaw had a surprise item -- pineapple. YUM!! Loved the outside seating where we enjoyed our lunch with our Doggies. read more

We were passing through on our way to Arizona and we're told we must stop here. The place is a perfect little place to eat right in town. Firstly, we had the opportunity to try all 4 of their sides and they were all fantastic. They put pineapples in the cole slaw, and the creamed corn and pinto beans were amazing. Secondly, the main course did not disappoint. We opted for the ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket. Wow. Just wow. It was an incredible dinner for our one night stop and definitely lived up to the Texas bbq. And the staff were friendly and awesome. We will come again. read more

Stopped in Sonora to see the Caverns and decided to get a bite to eat. Looked at the reviews and came to the Pit Stop. The place was clean and the food was amazing! The brisket was tender, one of my kids ordered a sausage sandwich. He enjoyed it. My other ordered a pulled pork sandwich. He ate it up. My wife ordered a brisket sandwich and was not disappointed. I ordered the "Jackalope" sandwich which had brisket and jalapeño poppers on it. It was amazing. Service was friendly as you could expect being in Texas. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will be back! read more

My family and I have traveled around Texas in search of mouth watering BBQ and I MUST say we finally found it. Once you give it a taste, you will swear on coming back. 5 stars Thank you for making us feel at home ! read more

This BBQ joint goes CRAAAAZY. We were returning from a three day backpacking trip in Big Bend and only ate chicken from a bag for the last 8 meals. We were grumpy, famished, and down horrendous. Alas, Pit Stop BBQ was here to save the day! If dying taste buds was the damsel in distress then the creamed corn was the knight in shinning armor. All around, an incredible meal to end an incredible trip. If I could go above 5 stars in my rating, I would. This place is like the girl you wished you always asked to prom so don't make the same mistake and miss out twice. read more

This place is very good!! The cream corn is amazing! We had brisket, turkey, sausage and ribs. All good! Small but very nice inside.

Pit Stop Bbq - Single meat plate, HUGE! - Barbeque Near Me - Sonora, Texas

All I can say is wow! We are heading back home from Austin. We hit up a bbq dive while in Austin and thought it was pretty good. Pit Stop bbq threw that one over the water!! To start, the outside looks nothing like the inside. As you walk in, you see a nice 50's decor. As you step up to order, you are greeted by the friendliest people! "Yes Ma'am" is something you don't hear too often, but here, they treat you with respect. I ordered the chopped brisket and pulled pork and oh my gawd! Now this is bbq folks! The potato salad was good as were the pinto beans. The place is super clean and cool, including the restroom!! Pit Stop BBQ will not disappoint!!! Oh, my husband shared a pork rib and was amazing!!! 'Til next time! read more

The Bucking Bronco plate is just outstanding! It has got to be the best chopped bbq and sausage in Texas sandwich in Texas. The cream corn and Pago salad are top notch as well. You won't be disappointed for sure ! read more

Y'all! This is some excellent Texas barbecue. I know it's easy to be picky about your barbecue and don't get me wrong that there are some awesome places in Texas ( I know because I've been to several of the top establishments). I had the 2 meat plate with sliced brisket and pork ribs. Both were excellent. The brisket is sliced thick but that's so they can cut it because the meat is so tender. The ribs were well seasoned and tender as well. I haven't had brisket beans before but putting chunks of brisket in your beans is a nice touch. My wife had the pit stop nachos which she said were amazing. Great potion size and reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. This place does not disappoint. read more

Very good. I will definitely be back when passing through. The customer service was great and the portions are very generous. A definite must if you're passing through Sonora, Texas. read more

Pit Stop Bbq - Chopped brisket, yummy! - Barbeque Near Me - Sonora, Texas

best damn bbq I've ever had!! great staff!! great corn, and the coleslaw was awesome all the way down to the sweet tea

Potato salad ok nothing special, coleslaw pretty good creamy cabbage still crunchy get a Lil surprise every now and then (pineapple) could have been a little tangier but good. MEATS RIBS tender fall off the bone slightly smokey could have been bigger. BRISKET tender, juicy great beef flavor slightly smokey but could have had a little more salt or rub. TURKEY SUPERmoist tender good smoke damn near perfect. SAUCE they don't put much sauce but they have some on the table. Not to sweet little tangier but went well with all three meats. Wish they had more sauces to try wish it was a little Spicer and a sweeter option would be great read more

Traveling down the interstate hunting something to eat and found this little gem. Don't let its size fool you-they are serving up some Delicious bbq. The sauce is very good! I got the Bucking bronco which also has jalapeño cheddar sausage in the sandwich-yum! But honestly my favorite thing was the creamed corn-almost like pimento cheese and creamed corn had a love child. So dang good! read more

Delish! Awesome BBQ stop on our road trip. Called ahead about 20 mins out and it was ready when we got there. We got chopped brisket sandwiches with a couple sides and it was awesome. Not just because there is minimal options anywhere around this place but because it's genuinely good! read more

The BBQ meats are just a bit above average. The layer of thinly sliced sausage on the sandwiches adds texture difference but no flavor improvement. The cole slaw is far too sweet. Needs apple cider vinegar or something else to a better flavor balance. The potato salad is store bought and plain. The creamed corn is "different" but not special. Adding chopped peppers and red onions would greatly improve this side dish. If there IS a next time, I would just get the meat alone to take home. Seems the locals all do read more

I would have never come in if someone in town hadn't recommended the place. Walking in it's not much to look at, however the place is clean and well kept. The girls in the kitchen were friendly and very helpful with our selection. We had the pulled pork tacos with pinto beans and corn. Corn was good although very rich. The pinto beans were by far the best I have had on either coast. The tacos with the slaw were amazing. The pineapple they add to the slaw compliments the Smokey flavor of the pork. All in all a home run! Oh and did I mention the pecan cobbler? Seriously a great find!!!! For more restaurant reviews visit my blog at the byte me chronicle. read more

Hadn't heard of this place prior to my wife finding it last second but it ended up being our favorite meal in our drive across the country. We both LOVE bbq and this place delivered on every item we tried! Our only regret is we didn't turn around and go back to but more for the next day!:( 4 days later we are still talking about it and wishing we could eat there again. Great job y'all!! read more

We ended up splitting a three meat combination plate that was enough for two people. The cream corn and coleslaw was delicious! Don't forget to nab a dessert when you check in. read more

The potato salad was less than impressive and the BBQ sauce too sweet. Both tastes store-bought instead of the recipe prepared one would expect from a Texas BBQ place. read more

Absolutely loved this place and was exactly what I was looking to find while visiting Texas. Ordered sliced brisket, pulled pork, and sausage with slaw and beans. Service was extremely quick and ordering was easy. I think I picked their three best meats and two best sides. It blew me away. Slaw had a unique flavor like I've never experienced. Beans tasted phenomenal. The meats were to die for. Brisket was as tender as it could possibly be. Pulled pork was flavorful and extremely moist. The spicy sausage had just the right amount of kick, although I'm pretty sure they were store bought and cooked. Either way, they taste great and that's the goal. I consider myself a BBQ snob, as I've been fortunate to try BBQ from all over the country from the south to the mid west and had some of the best the country has to offer. This place ranks up there. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Sonora Texas is now a permanent pit stop for all my future Texas deer hunts. read more

It may look small, but this place is packed with flavor! We had the two meat platter with ribs and brisket and the Bucking Bronco sandwich -both were awesome! My friend loved the cream corn and potato salad. I though they were just "ok". The bbq sauce complimented the food well, and I found myself debating adding more or keeping it minimal to better taste the meat. We stopped in as we were driving past between Big Bend and San Antonio ap sadly we won't be able to visit again- make sure you stop in for me! Two thumbs up! read more

We wanted to eat at this establishment. Ordered our food and then was informed sorry we're closed , you'll have to take your food to go. If you close at a certain time then you should close your doors early and not let customers in. One can't eat in your establishment because you close down making people order and then tell people that you must leave. Besides that the women at this establishment or rude and nasty. read more

I had not realized Sonora had this little gem. While visiting my father in law in Sonora, my wife and I went to the Dollar General. I stepped out of our car and smelt the beautiful aroma of BBQ. That aroma kept gnawing on me for a couple of hours, I had to get my BBQ fix. I was so pleasantly surprised by just how good it was. We hit it just right too, we walked right up to the window and soon about 8 customers filtered in behind us. We had an order to go and it was ready so quick, we didn't have time to study the decor. Fast, friendly, and most of all clean. Definitely we will be returning customer's. read more
