Thankfully we just missed the line! Didn't have to queue up at all. We just went with ribs and they were good. Doubled up on cornbread as we thought it was going to be great, however didn't even finished 1 slice! It was room temp and dense. Greens were good, not bitter, came with chicken compared to the usual pork. Beans were great, fave side. Potato Salad was good aswell. Soda machine has Cheerwine on it too.
This meal was phenomenal. The food was delicious. The portions were more than fair. And the flavors were rich. I can't speak to the ambiance or service because we did take out. But the order was ready on time and 100% accurate. Which is all that you can ask for with take out when you're super hungry.
On the hunt for bbq and came across this place. Seemed like a local chain so off we went! Decor was good and the place has that old school bbq joint feel. Service was great and they kept coming around to make sure everything was good! Amazing! The food...we pretty much ordered everything as my buddy hasn't had good bbq in awhile. Moist brisket - cooked great, fall apart tender but missing the smoke and no visible smoke ring. 4/5 Sausage - great flavor and a nice snap. Overall very good. 4/5 Ribs - these were some of the skinniest ribs I've seen and were very dry. Like thy sat in a warmer too long or were from the day before. 2/5 Turkey - not dry, very light flavor. 3/5 Pulled pork - light vinegar taste, cooked well. Very light smoke taste/smell. 3/5 Sides Mac and cheese legit reminded me of Costco. From the noodles to the flavor. 3/5 The cornbread was sweet but dry. I did like the whole corn pieces mixed in, but overall, meh. 2/5 Potato salad - I like a mustard based salad but didn't like this one. It was just ok. 2/5 Sweet potato casserole - this was perfect! The right amount of sweet and crunch. Amazing! 10/10 Overall a good place to go and you'll get a ton of food. We ordered a little of everything on the menu and still had a couple take away containers full after we ate way too much. Skip the banana pudding. The flavor is good, but the entire bowl was cookies and bananas with the lightest touch or banana pudding I've ever seen.
My most recent visit to The Smoke Pit was on a Thursday evening this past July. On a previous visit to the Concord/Charlotte area, we found this place when searching online for a good barbeque spot near our location. Luckily, we landed on The Smoke Pit, and now have a favorite restaurant to visit each time we are in the area. The restaurant is located on Concord Parkway, just a few minutes off of 85. It is in its own building that is half restaurant and half meat market, but all the same entity. There is plenty of parking in front and on the side of the building. However, it seems to fill up with all of the patrons coming and going! For the restaurant portion, there is indoor seating, as well as some outdoor tables. You will have no issue locating the place, as it is clearly marked with signage. We stopped here just after 5:00 PM, and it was fairly busy. The line to order was not too long, and there were several tables open for dine-in. However, the line continued to grow after we ordered with it being right at prime dinner time. There is a lot of signage to direct and instruct patrons, but in-person orders take place at the counter. After you enter on the left side of the building, you keep left to get into the ordering line. There is a menu with the items available all the time, and also advertised are any specials, sides of the day, or desserts. Once you reach the register, the staff takes your order and is able to answer any questions that you have. I have always found the staff to be both friendly and helpful on each of my visits to the restaurant. The selection is as expected - primarily barbeque. They have lots of different meats, including pork, chicken, sausage, ham, turkey, brisket, ribs, and more. Meats can be ordered by themselves, as part of a plate, combo, by the pound, or even in whole portions. They also have wings, sandwiches, sides, salads, desserts, and a kid's menu. Sides can be included in a plate, but also ordered in single, pint, or quart sizes as well. On this trip, we ordered our food to-go. We decided on a BBQ Combo with 2 Meats to split. For this, we ordered the Chicken Quarters and Pulled Pork. The combos come with two sides, for which we chose Baked Mac and Cheese and Deviled Egg Potato Salad. Texas Toast was our bread of choice. Additionally, we ordered a side of the Hashbrown Casserole, which was the side of the day. We also wanted to try the wings, so we ordered a 3-count of the Hickory Smoked Jumbo Chicken Wings in Southern Sweet, which also comes with celery, carrots, and ranch. Lastly, we ordered the Chicken Tenders and Fries Kid's Meal for our dog! I am not certain if they are made in-house, but there are several sauces to choose from. On the tables, there are bottles of Southern Sweet, Lexington Dip, South Carolina Mustard, and Sizzling Barbeque. The restaurant will also provide to-go cups for you to take sauce with your takeout orders. Even taken to-go, this barbeque is still some of the best. The Chicken Quarters and Pork were both flavorful and moist. We enjoyed all of the sides, but were not particularly blown away by the Hashbrown Casserole. The wings were great as well - no complaints there. Especially for the price, we got a ton of food. Even with sharing between two people, we had plenty to go around and some to take home with us. I thought the Kid's Meal was a very generous portion, especially for the price! The chicken and fries were both good, and it also came with a fountain drink/tea and a cookie. It would definitely be more than enough for any child to feel satisfied with their meal. Our dog loved it as well! Personally, I think the prices at this restaurant are very fair. Especially considering the quality and quantity of food provided at that price, it is hard to beat. As with any restaurant, there are some menu items that may not be the best deal at the price (I.e. some of the sides being $12 a quart), but particularly for the meats and combo meals this is not the case. I so wish The Smoke Pit was not a destination out of town for us! There is a reason this place is so popular and heavily-trafficked. The meat is great, the prices are very fair, and the staff are very friendly. It is a great experience whether you eat out or dine-in. I would highly recommend giving this place a try the next time you are in the area! P.S. If The Smoke Pit staff is reading this, you should put the Jalapeño Cheddar Grits as a permanent menu item...they are the best grits I have ever had!!!
Traveling 1-85? This is worth the 3 mile ride off the interstate. Come here! But ONLY: A: if you are really hungry & want to experience phenomenal, authentic BBQ. Portions are huge! B. You understand good things are worth the wait. See a line out the door? STAY! It's fast. When we are roadtripping (multiple times a year from NY to southern states), eating authentic BBQ is a MISSION. Well, mission accomplished at the Smoke Pit. Quick google map search of area, almost every exit in area boasts an authentic local BBQ place. This one impressed by photos and reviews..so glad we chose here! Line was out the door. Outdoor & indoor Dining area. Can't sit until you order. No problem, as you eat & leave. No reason to hang. Get in, get fed (very well) and get out. We had pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket with variety of sides. Order at counter, fill up your fountain soda and pick a table. Food brought to you. Very generous portions! And the food is so good you are moaning while you eat, and want to take the Lord's name in vain. That's how good it is! The best slices of brisket we have ever had! Thick, juicy and flavorful. Pulled pork and pulled chicken also so juicy! The variety of sauces made it even more enjoyable. Try them all and find your favorite. The sides shine as much as the meat! Rich, creamy mac & cheese. Corn bread and texas toast to die for. Pork baked beans thick, sweet and yummy! And the deviled egg potato salad waa delicious too. None of us could finish our lunches, and we opted for small platters. This place is legit! Service is fast and friendly! And the BBQ is the bomb!
Wings And collard greens Outstanding ! Very busy for a reason Highly recommend Busy but very well organized and ran. Clean restaurant
We are big fans of the Smoke Pit and it never disappoints. They are generally busy and it often appears there'll be no seats but only once have we had to take it to go, which was not a big deal. Service has always been friendly and fast. Decor is clean and typical of a bbq restaurant. The food is AMAZING! The best bbq around. We ordered 5 meals consisting of pulled pork, brisket, pulled chicken, sausage, Mac and cheese, fries, collards, bbq beans, collards, deviled egg potato salad, Texas toast and cornbread. It was all delicious. I'm not a huge fan of Mac and cheese but theirs is excellent! The cornbread is one of my favorite items. Everyone was pleased with their food. The portions are so large we all had lunch for the next day.
Wow!!! if you ever need a catering company, this is the place to go to. The Smoke Pit did not disappoint at her daughter's wedding reception. Never have I been to a reception or banquet where food is talked about as much as it was this past weekend, everything was warm tasty the service was superb, friendly, and even gave us advice if we didn't want to retain the leftovers to be able to donate to the local fire or police department, which I think is fantastic. They really know how to do every aspect of food service and quality the best!
I just moved here and lost weight the first week I settled in, but clearly now that I've discovered this place that's all going to change. I don't even have a job yet and should not be ordering food (although the price was reasonable honestly) but here we are. The ribs were literally falling off the bone (I sent a video to friends back home to make them jealous), the mac and cheese was the best I have EVER had in my 40 years on this early (the crispy parts throughout? stop it), the beans were so flavorful, and the potato salad was delicious and had just enough of everything without being overpowering. I don't love chunks of corn in my cornbread, however the flavor was great! This is where I'll be taking all of my out of town guests.
In town for the weekend and had to try some Carolina BBQ. Did not dissapoint, sampled half the menu and everything was outstanding!
I have ate here and ordered out many times and we always enjoy it. The pulled pork is my favorite, but the brisket is a close second. Love the collard greens! They are spicy but the best! The macaroni is also top notch. If you order a combo or plate there will always be food to take home. The dessert options are intresting too. So far I have only had the banana pudding and will order it again. Drinks are self serve with fresh tea, fresh lemonade, watermelon lemomade, or soda from the soda machine. All of the staff are kind and helpful. The restaurant can get busy sometimes. There are limited booths, but lots of tables. I appreciate that the dinnng area is always clean and managed throughout the day.
OMG the best bbq I've had in Charlotte hands down. I've know about this place for a while but I never visited. I thought it was closer to the mall but it's not. Once I put it in the gps and I started driving I said I won't be coming to this place too often because it's kinda out there but after visiting and eating the food, I will be back. The service was great, the food was good and I feel like I'm the last one in the party to find out about this place. I went on Saturday kind of early before 1pm and when I was leaving it was so many people pulling up to this place you would've thought they were giving away free food. It was crazy but anyway I had the wings and brisket along with greens and sweet potato casserole and cornbread and let me tell you everything was delicious. Do you hear me? DELICIOUS (One last thing they have a nice variety of sauces on the table)
Will forever give this place a 10/10 - Food is always great, the service is great, but be prepared to wait. Line moves as quickly as it can and if you dine in, you'll have to wait until a table is ready before you can order (at least that's what happened with us). Worth the wait and worth the money.
Second time within a week for a visit! I had to bring my parents who are visiting out of town. Omg my mom and I had the salad and it was huge! And pulled pork is so delicious My dad loved the half slab of ribs. And he had to take some home! Everyone loved their meals! Home run! And the staff is amazing and friendly. Great spot for a very wholesome meal! read more

Best BBQ ever!!!! The brisket was insanely good. Pulled pork was juicy, well seasoned. It's rare to have pulled pork that is juicy, yet not greasy. 100% recommend!!! We drove over an hour just to have the food! read more

I love the Smoke Pit. Their brisket is amazing. We got take out so we didn't have to wait a long period of time. Their restaurant is very popular. There is typically a line when you arrive. They are efficient where they separate the line to be seated with those picking up takeout. There are so many sauces you can try. They are all very good. The restaurant is very casual. No need to get dressed up. I have eaten inside but we typically get take out. It's a bit pricey but if you like BBQ, chicken, or brisket (to name a few) it will be worth it. read more

This place serves big portions of protein. Small portions on the sides but equally as delicious! You must order your food BEFORE getting a table. Food is brought out fast so you won't have to wait long. You may have a longer wait if there is a line to order but it's worth it. Go for the burnt ends, they are a must! The turkey was juicy as was the pork and brisket. Oh! I mixed the southern sweet BBQ sauce with the sizzling one to get a sweet but spicy mix. You're welcome! read more

Very impressed! If you want authentic southern barbecue, look no further! The Smoke Pit is the real thing. This place was busy on an early Friday evening for dinner. When you walk in there are two lines, one for dine in and one for take out. It was bustling for both, but a very short wait. This place is a well oiled machine that truly moves people through the order process and, since tables fill up, they won't put your order through until you have an available table to sit. I like this so much. That is truly taking care of your customers!! So now the food. The trays are enormous. You really get large portions for your money. We tried the Chopped Brisket Sandwich with sweet potato casserole, Texas Brisket Plate with Hash Brown Casserole and Corn Bread, 4 bones Ribs Plate with Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens, BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich with Mac and Cheese and 2 drinks for $75. That's a lot of food for the price. Everything was delicious and we took half of our meals home. Give this great place a try for real Bbq. It is a small place but has great service and a good relaxed atmosphere. You won't be disappointed! read more

Very very surprised and impressed with my first Carolina BBQ experience. This bbq pit is located about 25 minutes outside of Charlotte, and 35 minutes from CLT airport. IT IS WORTH THE DRIVE! Food: They definitely know how to keep the BBQ meats traditional and delicious. I opted to order the 3 meat combo just to sample all of my smoked favorites (brisket, ribs, and pulled pork). I opted for the fatty (point) brisket and it did not disappoint. It was melt-in-your-mouth smooth and tender. Eat it without any sauce to really appreciate the beefy flavor. The pork ribs I selected were sauced (wet). It shined and looked juicy, and it tasted twice as good as it looked. The meat was tender and bite-through, but not falling off the bone (that's when it's overcooked). The ribs were one of the best I've had in a restaurant and could have passed for competition ribs, they were that good! The pulled pork was plentiful and had natural pork flavors, but was a little dry and could have used some more au jus sprinkled on. It pairs well with the Lexington BBQ sauce. The sides were average and the Texas Toast was buttery and crispy. I liked how there were multiple ice tea options (sweet, unsweet, and watermelon). The price was a little high for a typical bbq lunch, but you get so much food, it is worth the money. Service: The staff at the counter was friendly and gave me good advice for ribs. They employees come around each table regularly to check on customers and clean table. Ambiance: The restaurant is in a building share with a market. There is plenty of parking in front of the building. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. What I loved was that I smelled smoked BBQ meats as soon as I parked my car and opened the car door. In summary, there is something magical about this place and the food is very good. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone that appreciates good BBQ. read more
If you're in the area you must come here! My boyfriend and I were in Charlotte, heading back home to Winston and we decided to stop here for lunch. You can tell it was a popular spot because the parking lot was nearly full and the line was long. The wait wasn't bad. Seating is first come first serve and there is outdoor seating as well. You order at the register then you pick your seat and they bring the food out to you. I got a pulled chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. He ordered the brisket with a side of greens and Mac and cheese and a peach cobbler to go. The food came out quickly and it was good! We both ate everything. He is a brisket fanatic and he approved. We can't wait to come back! read more
Y'all, yesterday 7/2/25, I went to The Smoke Pit in Concord and I was pleasantly surprised. I've been there before, but this time the line was out of the door. On Wednesdays they have 3 sides Wednesday so if your order typically comes with 2 sides, you can add a 3rd side for the same price. I ordered the 4 bone ribs with Mac and cheese, collard greens, and for my 3rd free side, I ordered the sweet potato casserole (my first time trying it). I also ordered 3 smoked jumbo wings with the dragon sauce. Y'all, those wings were amazing! I didn't even get to my ribs because they were so delicious. The sauce is sweet, tangy, and has a nice kick of heat!10 out of 10! The sweet potato casserole was delicious. My friend and I both were surprised because at first glance, it just looked like mash up sweet potatoes, but they were yummy. They have nuts in them so beware if you have a nut allergy! The restaurant was buzzing and seats were limited but my friend and I managed to get a seat by the time we ordered. The vibe was very chill. It's a placeyo go for date night, or bring the entire family. They have high chairs as well. The servers were friendly as well. If you're into BBQ, definitely try out Smoke Pit in Concord! I forgot to take a pic before eating, but this is what I had leftover. Pictured is the mac and Cheese, Corn Bread (10/10), Collard greens (delicious after I added some Texas Pete), Sweet Potato Casserole, and 4 Bone Ribs. read more

OMG! Now this is a 5-star BBQ place! The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that I can't give it 4 and a half! I discovered this place while I wasn shopping at the Stock yard next door! We walked in and we were like we've got to come back! So today we stop by for a to go order! I order the 2 piece BBQ combo with Texas brisket and the pulled chicken! For my sides I went with the cornbread, white coleslaw, and fries! The cornbread was the bomb! It was sweet like I like it and it had little kernels of corn in it. It was a nice size for sharing. Did I say the cornbread was the bomb! The pulled chicken was very tasty and enough for a sandwich. For me, the brisket was too salty, but it did have a good flavor and the right amount of fat. I didn't notice much of a smoke flavor, but I couldn't get past the salty taste either. The coleslaw reminded me of the old-school KFC slaw from back in the day! It would have been a dead ringer if it wasn't so sweet and would have had just a bit of horseradish in it! It's like someone got heavy-handed with the sugar while making this batch. After a few forkfuls, I had to put it down. It was just too sweet for me! The fries were good too--a nice thick cut and very long the way I like them. The thing that makes this place the best is the different BBQ sauces! There are about 6 different sauces altogether! Right before I walked out the door, I asked for all of the BBQ sauce to go. And I'm glad I did! By the time we got back to the farm, the food was cold, but it was still very tasty, and I ate until I was stuffed! You know the food is good when you can enjoy it after it gets cold! Now I'm from Georgia, but I'm adding The Smoke Pit to my list of places I'm going to visit the next time I'm in town! Sorry there aren't any pictures! The food was so good that I ate them too! And the customer service is awesome! #thesmokepit #bestbbqinconcordnc read more

The southern salad was very fresh loved the cucumber, the ranch is very watery and runny. I added onions and croutons when it arrived it was missing something. Chicken was well smoked can taste the richness of the marinade. First time trying the white Alabama sauce, pretty tasty but I'll try something with some heat next time. Because there will be a next time! The BBQ beans are to die for read more

I called ahead and asked for beef ribs and I was told they had them . I go inside and order and confirm they have beef ribs and they give me pork. Now I am stuck with these ribs and they will not answer the phone Update Situation was handled by refund. They do not have beef ribs to order and staff who took my order was new but Manager stated he would make sure this does not happen again. read more

The food is amazing. Great proportions and a full menu with multiple options. Service is great. Having done both dine in as well as delivery both are very good. Today it was a delivery order. You can order via Door Dash or UBER Eats. Service was processed quickly and delivered in under 30 minutes during peak lunch time. Had the Pick 2 meats: pulled pork and Texas Brisket. Well seasoned and hot on delivery. Collard greens, and mac n cheese were the sides ordered. Sustainable container to hold leftovers . Check out and support a local business! read more
I came with a bunch of friends and decided to go family-style with a bunch of meats and sides. For the meat, we ordered a pound of pulled pork, a pound of brisket, a whole rack of ribs. I thought all the meats were good, but the brisket was my favorite - it was tender, moist, and flavorful. The pulled pork was more coarsely pulled, which sometimes can equate to drier meat, but surprisingly it wasn't too dry. The ribs were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor as well. As for the sides, we got the mac n cheese, cole slaw (vinegar based / red slaw), and collard greens. The mac n cheese was far and away my favorite - it had a generous amount of cheese and was nice and creamy. The collard greens were also tasty, had pieces of bacon in it (always good), and not too over-cooked / mushy. The cole slaw was ok - I do enjoy a good vinegar based red slaw, but this one was definitely heavy on the vinegar. I appreciated that they had a bunch of different sauces available to try with the different meats. There's definitely not a one-sauce-fits-all, but to be able to mix and match the different sauces was a good experience. The restaurant is more fast casual in that you order at the counter when you enter, you seat yourself, and the food then comes out to you. We didn't have to wait very long for our food, so the service was very quick. We came on a Saturday at around 11:50am and there was only one person before us, and right after we ordered (right around 12pm), the line extended out to the door. So if our visit was any indication of when it gets busy, try to get there before noon on the weekends if you don't want to wait in line. Parking was plentiful, and the space was clean. Great food, great experience! read more

Arrived about 6:30pm on Saturday. Front parking lot was full but we found parking in the back. Waited 10-15 minutes to place our order then found a table for our party of seven. I was concerned there wouldn't any tables available but people were moving in/out pretty well. The staff was also doing a good job of getting tables cleaned for customers. Food arrived pretty soon after we sat down. The portions were very generous... no skimping on the meat! I had the regular Texas brisket plate which came with a side and either Texas toast or cornbread. I opted for baked beans and cornbread. It was all delicious. Best cornbread ever! My son had the Stock Market sandwich ... just FYI, it's enormous. Wish we lived closer but the next time we are in the area, we'll be back! read more

Not a huge bbq fan but I heard about this place over the years but never prioritized getting over here. I recently attended a graduation party that served some really good Mac and cheese from the smoke pit and I decided at that point to try them out a few days later. I ordered the smoked turkey, pulled chicken, okra, Mac, potato salad, greens, cornbread.....all amazing. The portions are massive and served in an aluminum pan...insane! Bbq spots are not known to have good sides so this place is in a league of their own. I will definitely add this to my favorites list. read more
Well, visiting the Charlotte, North Carolina area I knew I could probably get some good barbecue and whole chicken wings. The smoke pit did not disappoint! Once we figure out the line which was easy there were seats inside and outside. Food- wow! I loved the smoked jumbo whole (not wingette) chicken wings. I certainly appreciate it and tried all six barbecue sauces that were on the table. Potato salad was good side green salad was fresh. I really enjoyed the pulled chicken sandwich. My girlfriend said the mac & cheese was good. Greens- I believe were cooked with turkey meat! Everything was excellent! The servers were nice ! Very casual dining, not dressy at all. They had a sweet tea dispenser as well as unsweetened, which I appreciate it. The sweet tea was really sweet for me. But I believe they had other flavors as well. I highly recommend this spot for some good down home cooking. I can't wait to return. read more

First time visiting with our kids who live in the area. The portions were very large. My husband and I both got the large bbq plate of old hickory smoked pulled pork. The pulled pork was tasty. Some nice burnt portions. We brought enough home for two more meals. My DIL loves the corn bread. You have a choice of corn bread or Texas toast. Texas toast was delicious. Several bbq sauces are available on the table. They send you home with sauce for your leftovers too. Order at the counter and meals are delivered very quickly to the table. Casual dining. Staff quickly cleans the tables for the next group. read more
I still love this place but I suggest not going towards the end of the day. The food didn't seem as fresh. The beans were really thick. The collard greens seemed really bland and the Mac and Cheese was a little dry and hard. I did get an extra rib, I guess they know what they gave me. read more
We visited NC for a wedding. My fiancé's cousins suggested we try the Smoke Pit because I was in the mood for BBQ. The Smoke Pit was jamming when we arrived. Busy enough that you know the food is good! We stood in line and checked the menu and listened in on what the person ahead of us was ordering, "and the Peach Cobbler." Thanks fellow dinner I would have forgot to order dessert. My Fiancé was already decided so she grabbed us a table. The protocol here is to order at the counter, grab a number and then your table. We went with the Large Burnt Endz plate with collards and Mac. We also ordered the large Pulled Chicken Plate with BBQ slaw and potato salad. I ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert and an Arnold Palmer. The service here is immaculate from start to finish. The counterperson explained everything in great detail. The Food runner brought over our food quickly and with a smile, we were checked on twice during our visit and didn't even have to get up to ask for take away containers. They were on it. LOVE LOVE LOVE great service. The food was HELLA good. Meats were juicy, bbq sauce selection at the table was amazing. They all had a delicious kick to them. We loved the Mac. I was all about the BBQ slaw and potato salad. Absolutely no complaints. Cannot wait to return to dine again and check out the Butcher/ Grocery store connected to the restaurant. read more
Was driving from Charlotte NC to Danville VA and decided to stop and give them a try and I am so glad I did. I went with the burnt ends platter. The cashier asked if I wanted regular or large and Me being a big guy said yes. Wow was I in for a surprise. The portion was huge. The burnt ends were really good, the Mac n cheese and the spicy creamed corn was also really good. I was there about 1:30 in the afternoon and they were still pretty busy with about 3/4 of the tables occupied. The staff were all polite and attentive and the food came out quickly. I will certainly be stopping in again when I am in the area. read more
Lucked up on this jewel after work in the Concord/Kannapolis area just driving around. I am not a heavy BBQ person but I love some good brisket so I stopped to see if they had some. First let me say how when the line is out of the door and the parking lot is full....that is ALWAYS a good sign. This place had both going on at the same time. To my surprise they had brisket and I was not disappointed. They offered almost everything you could think of on the menu....even spuds! WHAT!! So I did the brisket dinner with fried okra as my side and a sweet tea to drink. Will definitely be back! read more
Meat me at the Smoke Pit! Make sure you empty your tank and bring your wallet and a friend, as it was a bit pricey, but you did get a lot of food. I was in town for a meeting and the excellent host said "We have to go to the smoke pit". If there's one thing I learned, is that dudes with big beards know BBQ, so I didn't argue. We ventured out (in a truck, of course), stood in line and ordered our BBQ to go as we had to finish our meetings in the afternoon. The two meat combo was totally way too much food for one person with all of the sides (I think we went on a day where you got an additional side for free). Everything was delicious and filling. The only hiccup was that one of the people in our party had their ordered delayed a lot for some reason. It took about 20 minutes longer than our orders so we were late getting back. The brisket and sausage were delicious, as were all of the sides (Mac n cheese, baked beans, slaw, toast, pickles, onions). This foil tray had a crap ton of food. I would definitely look at sharing this or plan on leftovers. Since I was in a hotel, I really couldn't save it which was a bummer. If you're hungry and you know it, clap your hands and go to The Smoke Pit! You'll most likely be satisfied! I just felt guilty for wasting so much food read more

I'd like to order delivery today for 10 people please. Is there any service you use for delivery? Thanks!
When I was there was a person from uber eats was picking up an order. I'm pretty sure they are on doordash as well.
