    Finest tasting barbecue! Beans are fantabulous! Special Macaroni and Cheese! Tastes great! Service is top drawer. Staff and Management are engaged and welcoming. Chef Curtis is a a true artist! The ambience is true Americana. Hey! This place is the home of good taste! Taste the Smoke!

    The Brisket plate- the Fork as a reference vs the amount of fat from the brisket.

    Service was great, variety of BBQ sauces was good, I understand they just opened as a business so I will give them another chance to redeem themselves. As a BBQ enthusiast I can't let the amount of FAT on the brisket slide. There was more fat than meat. There was no smoke ring on the brisket and tasted like it was not cooked on a smoker hence the amount of fat that didn't rendering down. Did not live up to the name Taste the Smoke the food was smokeless. See picture below.

    I was excited to have a BBQ spot right up the street from me. Today I was in the mood for bbq and decided to place a takeout order, I had to call three times until I finally got a hold of someone. I placed an order, picked it up and then bought it over my mother in law's house to let her have a try. Once we opened the container we were both not satisfied. The smoked sausage looked like a hot dog and tasted like it, the brisket appeared to have a lot of fat and unlike the name of the business, I tasted no smoke whatsoever. The Mac n cheese was dry and was subpar, the green beans tasted like it was canned with onions added. The two meat specials were $4 extra because I added brisket and after eating it, the $4 is extremely excessive. The three bbq sauces I received were good though. Unfortunately I won't be coming back here again. I was really hoping to have a good bbq close to me.

    Chicken with no smoke flavor that was super dry and the burnt mac.and cheese.  The 2 slices of white bread was really weird.

    Never open! Always closed during business hours. And there's trash all over in the outside of the building.

    Gas Station BBQ and it's fabulous! I'll say it again because it's so strange it bares repeating…read more Gas Station BBQ and it's fabulous!!! Weirdness, I know! We went to Pit Master after craving some bbq eats and having no propane left for our own grill. Being slightly hungover on this particular day, we didn't feel like going through the whole process of the propane exchange. We started an online search and stumbled onto Pit Master BBQ. We called in the order and approximately 20 minutes later, the food was ready. I ordered the rib tip combo since I am not a fan of eating meats off bones. I'll do it but it kind of grosses me out. Plus, any meat still attached to the bone is guaranteed messy. Since I was hungover a bit, I didn't want to have to work for my food. So, rib tips all the way. The meat was delicious. Juicy, tender, with a subtle smoky flavor. One thing the meat was lacking; sauce. I like saucy ribs so I could've used a few more dabbles. Not a major complaint but a mentionable. I see someone else posted before me; too much sauce. Maybe they could supply your meal with a little extra sauce in a cup so the customer can manage the meat to sauce ratio??? My two cents anyway. As for the sides, I really enjoyed the baked beans I ordered. Yes, I know baked beans are simple by nature but these baked beans had a good bacon flavor with a thick texture. Me likely! The mac & cheese was pretty standard. Cheese & noodles. Nothing fancy done there but it was cheesy and creamy so I'll take it. Oh, and the cornbread was undercooked. However, the undercooked cornbread was extraordinary. I say, keep it under-cooked. Again, two more cents for you. The boyfriend really enjoyed his meal too and the food was prepared in a timely fashion. Prices are so-so considering the portions are kind of small for the sides. This is a hidden little joint that has some great eats. If you're in the area, stop in, fill up your gas tank, and grab some ribs!!! Note: For a Gas Station BBQ Joint, their website isn't too shabby. It was easy to navigate and the menu items had clear pricing and descriptions. Bonus points!!

The Mac n cheese shells tasted like they came out of an oven with a grease fire. Not a good kind of smoke. Two stars for speed and the friendly owners but the food was not good and borderline inedible. Just my opinion.

    We are sorry we didn't formally introduce ourselves as we would have liked to call each of you by…read morename. It was obviously a family-run business, our favorite kind. First, we were met with a smiling face, and we immediately felt welcomed. Such a warm and friendly greeting, and the chat after ordering was nice as well. We let them know I was the lucky winner (of the WCN July Reader Appreciation Day), and we ordered our custom build--1/2 mushroom, cheese, pepperoni, and guess what, more cheese! I'd eat the kitchen sink, but I wanted my better half to enjoy the pizza with me. We also ordered the cheese bread. It was surprisingly seasoned to perfection, as others we have tried aren't, cooked to perfection, and my fiancée described it as "to die for" or decadent, LOL, and then she dipped it in the sauce. The look on her face said it all. She will tell you that the sauce is the best she has ever had, and I have to agree. Sweet, great tomato flavor, and a perfect balance of spices. She wants to know if it is sold by the bowl or gallon, by the way. Cheese bread, we give a solid 15 out of 10 stars, no joke! This was on point! Now, the pizza. Eye-popping, also cooked to perfection, and quite possibly the best pizza we have had in a long time, possibly ever. The balance of the cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and more cheese was unbelievable. The pepperoni used was fantastic, not overpowering, and was much milder than the spicy kind you would find from other places, and we both loved it. The dough for the pizza is a perfect match for all the toppings, and did we mention the sauce!?! Pizza scores a 10 out of 10 stars, just phenomenal. So, thank you all again, we are in a food coma, and you have made true believers and fans out of us. We went not with expectations, but with anticipation, and we are absolutely blown away. We can't wait to see you all again. Now, go get yourself some G.Faz pizza. You will not regret it!

The confirmation text didn't come through until we were already inside, which might be bad reception, but it almost cost us the table. Then they sat us right across from the back kitchen entrance. Banging, yelling, and an open doorway into the kitchen. Off-putting, especially with better seating clearly open. The food keeps the rating up. I did not expect a wings place, but the smoked wings were my favorite, right amount of crispy with good smoke. The sauce list is long and I couldn't pick a favorite. The ranch tasted house-made and it was amazing. The chikin soho was the other standout. Honey ginger glaze, chili dijon slaw, and pickles that all work together. Misses: the brisket nachos needed fresh guac and actual brisket, since there was barely any. The 6 cheese mac was fine but not worth ordering again. Prices were right for what it is, a bistro concept. It's in Wayne, which surprised me since I didn't know spots like this existed out here. Wide enough menu that I'll be back. Next time I'm speaking up about the seating.
