    Hands down best bbq I have ever had. It's perfect. Brisket Tri tip pulled pork ribs sauce I am gluten free so I couldn't try the bread or cookies but my kids loved them. Put the pulled pork inside the rolls for the kids Me the owner and he was very kind and genuine and threw in an extra piece for us to try. Service the smoker was crazy and the eating area was clean and nice super happy we stopped in on a whim to try it!

    Josh (the owner of "The Pit Barbecue") caterered my retirement celebration. He came highly recommended and I can see why. The food was simply amazing...from the delicious appetizers to the scrumptious dinner...I went back for seconds (especially the brisket). Service was impeccable and the food never ran out. If you are looking for someone to cater your event, highly recommend Josh and The Pit Barbecue. You won't be disappointed!!!

    Baked beans

    Super hidden spot but man was it phenomenal. I got the tri tip sandwich with added hatch chilis and brisket baked beans. One of the best tri tip sandwiches I've ever had In addition to the baked beans. I will have to try the bacon Mac next. Service was great a little unconventional picking up and ordering. Regardless my food was truly sensational. The dining area was a little different than typical restaurants but nonetheless I will 100% be back.

Came On A Sunday Afternoon And The Line Was Short And Moved Quickly. Our Family Ordered Some Burgers, Brisket, Ribs, Loaded Fries, Mac And Cheese And Baked Beans. The Brisket and Mac and Cheese Really Stole The Show For Us!! Tender And Flavorful! I Was Hesitant About The Mac Because Its Not Your Standard Stuff- It Has Its Own Look And Flavor But Trust Me- Its The Good Stuff! The Staff Was All Very Friendly And Accommodating. It Is Pricey And The Items Are Priced Ala Cart But Honestly, Its Worth It! Happy We Didn't Let The Hype Discourage Us From Stopping By.

I wasn't aware during my visit that I was caught in the crossfire. Everything at this location tastes nasty. Let's just say Mr. Tendernism vouched for this place before his termination; well, that says a lot about his overall judgment on food. 100% forget anything about Mr. Tendernism and his sad story, because he clearly doesn't know anything about anything if he was guiding people this way. I remember an episode of the LATRYGUY also going to this destination, and even he vouched for this nonsense. Can't trust that fool either. The mac and cheese was some weird variation. The baked beans didn't really taste like baked beans. The meat was overly peppered. They for odd reasons, don't serve potato salad. Change that mac and cheese. Change your seasoning, or at least try. Include Potato Salad. And maybe your business will survive whatever it is going through. Sorry but facts.

We were greeted promptly upon entering and were seated right away in the bar area in a booth. Our server was nice, but lacked som initiative to refill our drinks. We ordered the 3 meat platter which included our choice of 3 meats, 2 sides, and 2 biscuits. For our meat we selected: - pork belly burnt ends - beef brisket - pulled pork The bbq was good, only complaint is it was served luke warm and therefore it got cold rather quickly. For our sides we had the Mac n Cheese and mashed potatoes. The Mac n Cheese tasted like boxed and not fresh so not our favorite. The biscuits were also luke warm and a bit hard. Not sure if their food sits for a while before it's served or not properly warmed as everything was served luke warm.
