Ashley WhitesidesMarch 18, 2011Ribs! Soooo good. awesome atmosphere and the BBQ cheeses fries for an appetizer... Yum!
Travel ChannelNovember 7, 2011Don’t miss a whole-hog barbeque. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
Kory WilmotMarch 23, 2012Do not park on commerce street after 9 pm or you will get a ticket from the city.
Suzy MarySeptember 22, 2010The chopped bbq is phenomenal! Along with banana pudding for dessert! I'm more than impressed!
AMAZING food but come early or make a Rez on Saturdays. 2 Hr wait but worth it. Try the smoke and coke.
Michael WilliamsDecember 9, 2011If you are looking for Ed and his food neither one are here. Bring Ed back!!
The Smoke & Coke is a must! Just might be the best drink in town.

Anne WilkinsMarch 6, 2010Best fried chicken on the planet!! And, if you're a fan of collards...you're gonna love 'em!
Marty LinkMarch 6, 2014Not sure what was going on the night of March 5...must have been a conference...very crowded...but food was not good compared to previous visits
Frank MSeptember 17, 2017Terrible service waited over 30 minutes after placing order. Never saw the waitress after getting drinks and apps. No one seemed to care our food never showed up. 1st and last time at this restaurant
The team service is a joke, most of the time nobody knows who is paying attention to you so nobody is. Service at the bar during lunch is extremely slow.
Sandra/Snad PhillipsJanuary 27, 2010I'm a vegetarian, but I'll eat at The Pit with my meat-eating friends because they are cool enough to have BBQ tofu!!!
John Mark IveyOctober 25, 2009So I got the chicken wings and substituted Bleu Cheese for Honey Mustard - A+. And the hush puppies were mighty good as well. Read more

"Went here again a couple months after opening and they have doubled the number of machines and replaced a lot of the emulated ones. Good experience and good prices! $3 drafts on Tuesday."

"Cool place with a fun cycling vibe. Get a wheel with their main five beers. Good stuff, but not knockout amazing."
