First time trying the pit and it was very good. I had been wanting to try it for awhile since I had worked in that building for 10 years when it was Boomers. They really changed it up. Staff was friendly and the food was good. The pulled pork had a lot of flavor. We will be back to try the peanut butter & jelly brisket sandwich we hear it's really awesome. read more

Ordered a combo plate for dinner last night. Brisket was ok, but chicken was one of the worst I ever ate. Maybe it's because Wednesday evening with very few customers. The chicken seems it was cooked few days ago. Skin was basically licked a piece of rubber. Jalapeño cream corn was the only thing standing out. read more

Restaurant was clean, well stocked. Service was generic and plain. Food was mid. Nothing special, nothing to write home about. Better than the "chain" places but not near as good as the major places I've been to from like texas monthly top places. I'd tell someone if they want bbq and they haven't tried the other places it's not bad. read more

Well, we're regulars at The Pitt BBQ and had been excited to get some really good catfish on Friday night. They'd had it as a regular menu item a while back and it was delicious, cooked to order and perfectly seasoned and breaded, but it had not been available for several months now. We noticed the Fish on Friday for Lent sign and thought we'd get some. Well, we ordered and to our surprise it was pulled out of a pan in their steam table and it was not the same at all. Apparently frozen breaded fish that was cooked in an oven or an air fryer thing and kept barely warm in the steam table. We will go back for the BBQ, but dang, don't try to fake us out on the catfish. Also, first time seeing the new patio and it's really nice, shady and looks good. read more

Really good food and great prices. Have not been to Texas in a while and was in San Angelo. Loved this spot. Came here first and glad I did. $24.00 for all this. 1/2 pound of brisket, 3 sides, and a Mexican coke. Yummmm read more

First off, the food is good. We ordered st the counter, and they made it right in front of us. The restaurant is cozy. They had a few tvs with some sports on, not loud when we went. I want to come back and try all the sides. read more

The brisket sandwich had plenty of brisket and was tender and so good. I had the pinto beans and they were delicious, too. I will be eating there again. read more

They now have a real restaurant with eat in dining. Counter service vs the food truck pictured earlier. Hours changed as well to be open longer and every day. I stopped in to get a sandwich to go. I got the pulled pork sandwich. It was good, but it was small for $8.50. It was basically pulled pork on a hamburger bun. The people working the counter were very nice. Overall, I don't feel it's worth the price, especially for the sandwich. I haven't tried all the BBQ offerings, only the pulled pork. read more

We came to ThePit BBQ after a local reffered us to it. So glad we took him up on it. This is a great place. The place can accommodate for large groups. The food is phenomenal. Brisket is on point, the jalapeño cream corn is delicious as was the baked potato with extra butter and cheese. The wrap was also a hit within our group of eaters. I can't stressed enough about the service. Extremely nice guy weighing the meats and the efficiency of the cashier made for a good lunch. The transaction was quick which helped us get back on the road. This is for sure a stop over when traveling thru again. Enjoy! :) read more

They have great food at the Pit. Good options are the Gonzo, a frito pie with pulled pork or chopped beef along with creamed corn, beans and sausage, and the Jail Break, Peanut butter and jelly with brisket. You wouldn't think brisket would work with peanut butter and jelly, but it's quite good. And unique! As for the atmosphere, it's kind of a hole in the wall, but it seems ok. The reason I did not rate this higher is because last time we went the service could have been better. They were out of pulled pork, which is the reason we went, but did not tell us until after they started making the other orders. ​ read more

Fine if you like lukewarm food and bitter waitstaff. Management needs to speak with them about what they need to do their job with a modicum of grace. read more

The brisket, the cheesy squash, and the green beans were all amazing. The mac' n cheese was kind of bland, but the rest of the food made up for it. The young ladies behind the counter were also very kind and accommodating! The restaurant itself was clean and modern - good ambiance for someone grabbing a quick bite to eat with friends or family. read more

Driving through San Angelo we needed lunch so tried Pit BBQ. We just had sliced brisket sandwiches, Brisket was tender, moist, seasoned well with smoky flavor. Restaurant has complimentary condiments of pickles, jalapeños and onions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stop here again while in SA. read more

Nice place now that the inside is open. Second time here, tried the Friday special- The Jail Break. Don't knock it until you try it! Bottom bun smothered with peanut butter then sliced brisket then grape jelly squeezed on top. Sounds weird but tastes pretty good. I did miss putting bbq sauce on it, but it's really a good twist on a traditional pb&j. Came with a side and a drink for $9.99! read more

It's a very nice place with nice and great people working I just don't know what kind of barbecue y'all eat in San Angelo but it wasn't whatever the hell they gave me. Came in for a chopped beef sandwich and when I get home I've just been given a complete sandwich of just pork fat (I don't know if others like that or what) but it was completely disgusting and barley edible to the point I gave it to my dog. Just don't get pork. read more

The serving sizes were stupid small. I asked my husband if it was off some kids menu. Over peppered that it took away from the flavor of the actual food. The person who took our order literally scooped some off my husband's food and put it back. Hella disappointed that this was my first bbq experience in Texas. read more

Checked YELP for a good local place to stop for lunch on the road from Ruidoso to San Antonio. The PIT was highly recommended so we cut though town to find the food truck parked on a concrete slab inside a big chain link enclosure. Wooden picnic tables with shade umbrellas provided a dining on site option. The menu - aaahhh. Brisket, chopped beef, pulled pork, sausage - by the pound, on a sammy or wrap, in a baked potato - so many options! We placed our order with a big guy with a bandana on his head (one of the owners). Our choices were the jalapeno cheese sausage (tender and flavorful!) wrapped in a flour tortilla, the signature Jailbreak sandwich, and a side of cheesy squash. The Jailbreak is a soft bun smeared with peanut butter and a big blob of grape jelly topped with a nice slice of brisket. I know it sounds weird and possibly gross, but it was FABULOUS. Super tender brisket matched with those other distinctive flavors somehow really works! Take a chance and try it! The squash was cooked to perfection and SO DELICIOUS. We sat in the shade on a hot afternoon eating fab food and smiling at our decision to get off the route and find The PIT. Don't miss it! read more

If you would have told me that peanut butter and jelly with brisket is a good idea I would have skeptical. The brisket was moist and had a lovely bark. Together with the PBJ was delicious. Also had sliced turkey breast which was both smokey and very flavorful while not being dry. read more

The jailbreak is the best brisket sandwich I've had in my ENTIRE life. I think about it frequently. The meat was delicately cut by staff. I ran home to eat my sandwich because the truck wasn't anything special... read more

Finally excellent BBQ in San Angelo. BBQ has always been a weak spot in San Angelo, which is strange given its location. Well the city finally has a place that competes with the Hill country area The only drawback is that it is only available via a food truck with outside picnic table seating. They have been working on opening an indoor restaurant for a long time but we have seen minimal progress. Both the lean and more fatty briskets were fantastic with a very nice smoke ring and great flavor. The pork ribs were very good with great flavor and the jalapeño and cheese sausage was great as well. They do not have multiple sauce options but we quite liked the one BBQ sauce offered. We had the potato salad and jalapeño creamed corn sides and both were very good. If you are in the mood for BBQ, I highly recommend stopping by The Pit for takeout or a nice meal at the picnic tables if the weather is nice. I do recommend arriving earlier as they tend to sell out of popular items, sometimes we'll before 2PM. read more

We wanted to try the 'create your own plate' on the sign on the wall, so my husband asked for catfish and the girl snapped at him and said that wasn't an option for the 'create your own plate!' Which is deceiving because that is all on the same sign. So we tried the other options since this was our first time here. $30+ later and the brisket and the sausage were dry, potato salad had waaay too much mustard, coleslaw was lacking something was too sweet but chicken and jalapeño corn were very good. Service was rude and food mediocre so do not think we will be coming back. read more

The brisket was excellent, flavorful and juicy. Might reduce the black pepper just a little. Prices were ok. Biggest complaint is they did not have courtesy water. Also had the jalapeño corn, it was good but was no jalapeño flavor. I fixed that by chopping up some available jalapeños and mixing them in. read more

This place is amazing! My friends had the brisket, seasoned perfectly, very tender and tasty. I had the 6 piece chicken wings in the hot sauce. Very good with a fair amount of heat and those are big chicken wings! Service is great and inside is very comfortable. 10 out of 10, I'd do it again!!! read more

Delicious! Brisket, Mac n cheese, jalapeño creamed corn are great. Service was fast and friendly

It was ok. Ordered the porkster sandwich and the brisket was very dry :/ I'm sure it would have been a great sandwich but it wasn't. Will not be returning sadly read more

From the outside it's very unassuming but I really enjoy this place the ambiance is great the exterior is misleading. Really fun meals really good BBQ. hate that there's no water read more

WOW!! One of my top BBQ destinations in the state. The place looks unassuming (as it should) but the food did all the talking. I ordered the Porkster with their buffalo slaw and homemade bbq sauce. The sauce was incredible with loads of flavor and a hint of peppery heat. Everything on the sandwich was perfect, too; the brisket, sausage, slaw and bun. Highly recommended, I will be back read more

The Pit BBQ - Not fancy, but really good rarely is. - Food Trucks Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

I've eaten bbq all over Texas....hell, I've eaten bbq all over the country. The first time I tried The Pit I almost didn't stop there. The lady I was with wanted to sit and eat and it was a damn hot day and their seating is outside. So glad we stopped. As soon as you get to the window he hands you a sample piece of brisket. WOW!!! It's perfect. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich, a beef rib, and we got a jailbreak sandwich to share just because we wanted to taste the peanut butter and jelly and brisket together. I have only one complaint and that is the excessive pepper crusted on the beef rib, but that's just a personal taste - the meat was cooked to perfection. Since that first time The Pit has been my go-to bbq spot. If you're in San Angelo and have a few minutes (the line is never too long) it's an absolute must. You won't be sorry. I'll finish by mentioning that I live an hour and a half away and a few times a month I make an excuse to go to San Angelo just to eat lunch at The Pit read more

This place was seriously not good. No indoor seating and 3 ribs were over $23. Menu pricing was inaccurate and the combo did not include a drink (?) Much better local joints. read more

Wanted to try the catfish took forever to get my 4 pieces of overseasoned fish. While I'm watching my partner eat her small pulled pork sandwich it was 30$ u won't get back service was horrible. Feels bad read more

Food was Delicious, service awesome friendly, great atmosphere. Definitely a new spot for us love places that have great prices with great food! read more

OK, other plans fell through at the last minute, so we ended up at The Pit again. Husband had the Porkster sandwich. It was big, it was intimidating, it was delicious and he could not eat it all (pulled pork, brisket, sausage, slaw). Halfway through he gave up on the bun as it could not contain the monster sandwich. Jesse S's photo of the sandwich is accurate. I had a brisket (wet) pitwich and side of creamy jalapeño corn. Creamy corn was delicious and hot (temp, not spicy). I took 1/2 the meat off my sandwich and still had a substantial sandwich that the bun barely held up to. The brisket is good and tender with a solid smoke ring and a great bark... i still find it too salty (the outer edges at least). I'm sorry this Yelp site is unclaimed by the owner. I'd really like to see sandwiches available in different size options. Let me get a junior on a burger bun, a medium on a sturdier bun with more meat, and the monster burger, which needs a wrapper that can handle it. read more

If you have not tried the jailbreak it is a must. Best bbq sandwich I have ever had and worth every penny.

I went two days ago and was treated very rudely by the guy cutting the brisket. I ordered sausage links and asked for half regular and half jalapeno. Was told I'm getting five links and can't get that half and half. Some other rude comments as I was ordering, but since I was there getting food for work with a co worker, I didn't say anything. Next customer was also treated to rude comments. She asked where the sausage was from, I heard him tell her it was none of her business. She asked him to cut her brisket thin and was told that he cuts it his way and that's how he would cut hers. He then asked her if she was taking notes for a book. She replied that in fact she had written a book about BBQ and was now in the process of updating her book. And the food we got wasn't good. A pound of brisket cut in three or four thicknesses and way too peppery. Won't be back there. read more

Decided to stop by and refuel on our road trip and this bbq trailer definitely hit the spot. Got the moist brisket with some creamed jalapeño corn and pinto beans. Everything was delicious and would stop at this spot in a second when ever I'm back in this town. Better then a lot of places I've tried close to Austin. read more

I got their baked potato topped with brisket and it was pretty good. Their barbecue sauce tasted good and the price was fair. Students at ASU also get a student discount! read more

I am not going to lie, I was questing myself about going here since I've had some bad experiences with food trucks before. But since the description was "Texas style pit BBQ" I had to come. You can eat there at the location, there's tables and chairs already available. Or you can do the take out. When I came to the window to order I had a sample handed to me, so I was like "That's a very good way to impress someone right off the bet". I've ordered two meat plate as a take out. Beef brisket was so moist it fell apart in my hand when I picked it up. It was very delicious and I will be coming back to Pit BBQ to get more of that carnivore delight. But you have to come either for lunch or during weekend as I've noticed, because I went there on Wednesday around 6 PM and the truck was sold out. read more
