We had such a wonderful experience at Texas Pit Barbecue in Saginaw! The food is great, but what really stood out to us was the kindness of the staff. My mom had a diabetic episode when she was there a few months ago, and when my husband and I stopped in recently, they actually remembered her and asked how she was doing. They were so sweet and genuinely concerned about her. Then, completely unexpectedly, they sent us home with a full meal for my mom and told us to bring her back to see them. That kind of kindness is rare, and it meant so much to our family. It says a lot about the people who work here and the kind of place they've created. Great barbecue, but even better people. We will definitely be back--and next time, we're bringing Mom! read more

I got the pulled pork sandwich and two sides for lunch. It came out to 1799 with a 15% tip. I think you stick to the pulled pork sandwich you'd be happy. The sides were pretty mid. I got coleslaw and beans. read more

I have drove by this place at least 100 times and this time I finally decided to stop.I parked and went in and as I looked around the place reminds me of an old school bbq place.They have a bar to the right as you walk in some tables and a couple of booths.They also have more seating outside in the,it looked like a covered patio or just a extension of the restaurant.Either way there is plenty of seating.So as I got to the counter to order it took them a minute to get to me.But they did acknowledge me twice just to let me know I was there.Well as I was waiting I looked at the menu and decided on the two meat plate.Which I ended up getting ribs,brisket along with potato salad and beans.It also came with a piece of toasted bread.And I washed it down with some sweet tea.I have to say overall it was pretty solid.I really have no complaints except for one.They don't take the membrane off their ribs.Other then that the food was good.And the tea and sides were on point.Not sure why this place only gets three and a half stars?I think it should get a solid 4 imo.I would definitely go back.If you're in the neighborhood and hungry for BBQ give this place a shot. read more

Texas Pit B-B-Q - Two meat plate with beans,potato salad and toasted bread. - Barbeque Near Me - Saginaw, Texas

This is a tough call between a 4 and a 5. There were things I love, the ambience is pure Texas, so love that. Seems like a cool place to kick back with some cold adult beverages and watch a Cowboys game. But I came here to eat so: The Jalapeño sausage was awesome. The chopped brisket though was good not great. As for the sides, I tend to pass so can't comment on those. Didn't get to have any suds or whiskey so can't comment on those either. So I will be back next time thirsty and hungry. read more

Let's just say I make a 45 minute drive whenever I'm craving "THE PIT" as I like to call it. The one and only thing is get is the 1/2 chicken and fries. They have perfected both and they NEVER disappoint. read more

We enjoyed the atmosphere, it felt like a traditional Texas bbq restaurant should. The lunch specials are about $12 and include 2 sides and a drink. The food is ok. Once I got there I realized I have been there years before. I remembered the restaurant but not the food. It's largely forgettable. What I really didn't like was that the bathroom is not air conditioned. We were so hot and my four-year-old granddaughter needed to go potty and I felt like I was going to pass out in that bathroom. This is Texas y'all at least put a fan or something! It's a little haul from my house, it's unlikely I'll return. My friend ordered brisket and sausage and she seemed to like it. She and her grandson got fried okra they said it was good. Her husband had a big baked potato and he ate it and said it was fine. The macaroni and cheese was just okay, runny and just a little salty but not cheesy. The potato salad was meh. read more

Went in years ago. Everyone ignored my wife and I. We waited for at least 30 minutes without ever being acknowledged by the wait staff. We just got up and left. read more

Relived this memory today with my Family and it is just as I remembered..... DELICIOUS! The overall eating does not give this place justice. The ambiance is the same with the addition of a bar and covered patio area. The staff is younger but overall the service was good. They could have been a little more lively and not so straight faced. Smiling goes a long way. Great BBQ and has been for years! Give them a try! read more

Killed three cockroaches at table couldn't finish food so discussed won't be coming back

Went there last Sunday and got ribs and slice beef . It was absolutely so dry and hard I feed it to my dogs . The ribs were old and dry . Horrible experience read more

Staff behind register seemed like they didn't care at all. A $14 dollar baked potato with a table spoon of chopped brisket and a teaspoon of bacon is wild. This place is a joke. They can take Texas out the name for sure. Zero star if I could. Scenery is cool tho. read more

This place is always consistent with great food, cold beer, and friendly staff. The half chicken on Tuesdays is the special, but honestly, it's my go-to any day of the week. We often bring colleagues here when they're in town visiting--it's the real deal when it comes to authentic Texas BBQ. read more

Hate to give a bad review, but cost seems to have gone up while service/quality go down. We went through the drive thru today and was less than impressed. Long waits, broken PA systems and what must be short staffing. $6.99 for a piece of corn cut in two (2 sides of half corn month Cobb) is wild and $10 for a side of macaroni. They even forgot to put our fries in bag and we didn't notice until we got all the way home. Too late at that point to do anything about it. Poor little Mexican girl at the window didn't seem to have a clue. Shame read more

The food is okay, but definitely doesn't justify the price. 1 adult meal and 3 kids meals at a BBQ joint should not be over $60, that's wild. At the food counter, the men who are working have always been pleasant but every single time I have gone the girls are just down right rude for no obvious reason. And it's not just one girl in particular, it's every girl I have been serviced by in my three times of going. read more

the cashiers were unpleasant and just seemed annoyed, they dropped cups on the floor and picked them up to continue to be used by customers, good brisket, mac and cheese had no flavor read more

As a new customer to this establishment, I must say I had no idea which way to get in. After getting in, the bartender although looking confused, finally directed us to the dining room. Apparently, we came in through the added dining area. Anyway, on to the meal. The special of the day was 1/2 chicken with two sides. The photo would appear the food was great...not so much! The spice on the chicken was spicy (no warning) and the potato salad was dry and the green beans were salty. Did I mention I was a new customer? No one greeted me nor did they offer the Texas hospitality I am so accustomed to receiving. I must say eat if you dare! I will not do it again! Thanks for nothing! read more

Cold beer and good food service is always good and the price is right. Friendly people and full service if you seat in the bar area.

Amazing Jalapeno cheese sausage! Best I have had, it melts in your mouth. Great food and service.

Just bought from there. They can't give you what you order. Asked for sliced brisket and got home with chopped!! The chopped bbq is saturated with sauce that is too spicy for me. I'm sure others might like it but not for me. The beans are pretty good. The potato salad is mashed potatoes with stuff added, not great. The prices are I believe high. Too much for us to ever go back. If you go here have plenty of money read more

The family went there first the first time. We WILL be going back! They give you a small cup of bbq sauce, but frankly, you do NOT need it. Do yourself a favor and try it as is. The sides were also good. The coleslaw was not too sweet - it was a good balance. I tried the BBQ Stew, and it is probably the only thing that wasn't 5 stars. Everything else the four of us got was primo. Service was quick and the staff were friendly enough. And by 'quick,' I mean the food was ready before we finished paying. All of us in the family smoke and bbq our own meats, and while we'll never win any awards, it's hard to find a place that cooks better bbq than we do. I've never had anyone make a better turkey, chicken, or duck than I do, and I can't remember anyone making ribs better than my son's. I don't say any of that to brag, but just to put this into context: we decided that if we wanted to go out for bbq, this is probably the place we will go. read more

Classic Texas BBQ. Exactly what it says on the tin. Great brisket and potato salad. Quick service.

1st off, the place is very cool Texas barbecue homey local awesome as it gets for a standalone place like this! Service was great fast and friendly, had an awesome bar and vibe inside to wait or hang if you choose. The ribs were spectacular, brisket good plus- a little on the roast beef feel but flavorful and tender. The homemade Mac and cheese was awesome, and the house peach cobbler was a MUST! 3 meats 2 sides twenty bucks which for this level and serving was incredible. Definitely going back!! read more

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly as well. Rey the two meet plate which the brisket and jalapeño sausage!

Alright so I ordered the burnt ends, the apple cobbler and coleslaw. My friend hyped it up, and sadly we were both disappointed. The girl who took my order was rude. The burnt ends are not burnt ends by any means. The BBQ sauce taste like runny pure apple cider vinegar. Coleslaw is bland. And you can tell they put no effort into the apple "cobbler". It's literal canned apples on dry pie crust. Paid $30 just for that. I will say the man who rang us up though was nice and held a conversation. read more

I just ordered 1pound of chopped beef. It was $27. I about had a stroke. This place blows. I called Angelos, Heim and Woody creek. Angelos was the highest at $16. I was seriously screwed. The coipped beef was lame, dry and old tasting. They try to covered up the quality of the beef by saucing it. Let me sauce my food myself! NEVER WILL RETURN. What a joke. read more

Hubby and I stopped at Texas Pit last night with our friends. While the company was excellent, the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the Turkey Sandwich with a side of cheese fries, and hubby ordered a three meat plate with onion rings. I will say that the star of the evening were the cheese fries and onion rings. The turkey was tender - but didn't have a lot of seasoning and hubby said his food left a lot to be desired. They only give you a tiny cup of BBQ - which wasn't stand out either, so I guess I didn't need more than that. The atmosphere is very much old school bar feel. We were able to sit and talk for a few hours without feeling like we were overstaying our welcome. All in all, this isn't a bad place. Texas has a lot of great BBQ, and unfortunately Texas Pit wasn't my favorite. read more

Dropped in for my first visit last night. Ordered the 3 meat plate with Brisket, ribs and sausage. Mac N Cheese and B-B-Q beans. Came with a slice of Texas toast. Brisket melted in my mouth, ribs were fat and fall off the bone meaty, sausage was flavorful with about 10 slices. Left full and happy. Will def be back. read more

The worst cue... dry as bones brisket , ribs have been sitting under a warmer and dry as hell! You ain't gettin my hard earned money anymore! How awful read more

Very frustrated with how the service has decreased in the past two years. I have been coming over 15 years. The drive thru service has gone down poorly in the last two years. A simple order for 1 person such as a pound to half pound of meat and 1 side no BBQ sauce and Large ranch dressing is too much for the employees to get it correct even when the restaurant in not busy. However, this time I called and was given the ok to come back the next day to pick up something me chicken. it seems like it's kids running the place now. read more

Use to love this place... Went and grab lunch Today I ordered 2 Large Ribs plates Ribs are super dry, seems like they old ribs from many days ago Almos $40 to serve this horrible food Wtf read more

Great, wings 9.2, some of the best wings I ever had from a restaurant. Great smoke flavor and crispy skin. Only downside was kinda expensive, $11.99 for 6 wings and only had two sauce options. The wings were big and would gladly pay that for these wings and I ordered them plain with buffalo and ranch on the side. I didn't touch either sauce because these were so good. read more

Great service. Pulled pork was good turkey was not (basically lunch meat). Sides and apps were very good, too.

This is one of the best bbq joints I've had in awhile, my service was so fast thanks to my bartender Kym, who was always making sure my drink was filled, that my food was delicious and that I was just overall happy. I will definitely be back because of the food and because of her! read more

Food here was surprisingly good, especially the brisket and apple cobbler. This is an ideal spot to go if you want BBQ.

The brisket was dry and not as good as I remembered it, so I'm taking away a star. The sides and sauce are consistently delicious! Their green beans and coleslaw are my fave. Sometimes I'm in the mood for potato salad and baked beans tho, and am never disappointed with those choices either. Their french fries and fried okra are always fried to order, always fresh, always delicious. My one tip: When ordering a sandwich, ask for the pickles and onion on the side with no mustard. I love mustard, but it gets in the way of the flavor of the meat. Add pickles and onions at your discretion. And don't forget to douse the Q in a cup of their sauce that they include with every order! read more
