My cornbread was stale, the pieces of corn were hard and dehydrated. Pieces of tendon in every bite of the pulled chicken. Collards must’ve had 3 tablespoons of salt in each serving. Definitely a miss this time. Mac was good tho and vinegar sauce was amazing per usual.

Today, either due to my incompetence or sheer luck on the part of ‘The Smoke Pit’, I went looking for Longhorn but ran into this wonderful restaurant. Bekah was an exceptionally kind, gracious, and friendly bar tender. I was unsure whether to get the banana pudding or sweet potato pie, so I purchased both. The Texas brisket had a unique texture to it and the taste was so savory, it almost didn’t require barbecue sauce. The green beans had a tasty seasoning mix entrenched in it, and the macaroni and cheese was better than you would find in most establishments. As for the banana pudding, it was devine. The sweet potato casserole still had a string or two in it but the taste more than made up for this oversight. I highly recommend others journeying to this establishment. To me, the food was just as good, if not slightly better, than Longhorn Steakhouse.

The food was absolutely amazing and would you look at the portion sizes!!!! The ribs and BBQ were absolutely amazing. The homemade greens and baked beans had the pork in it as well. The cornbread and drizzle of honey on top and just melted in your mouth. So much leftover we made 2 more plates out of everything. Will most definitely go back!!!

Arrived around 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated underneath a very cold draft of AC, the waitress seemed happy to move us. When I placed my order for brisket and ribs, the waitress advised they were already out of brisket and ribs, seems kind of early in the day for that to happen. Although this was posted on a small white board at the entrance (posted at childs’ eye level) the host/hostess should have mentioned it when we were seated. My wife ordered the pulled chicken, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. I ordered the two meats of pulled pork and sausage, bbq beans, cheesy hash browns, and hush puppies. Everything was delicious, and the portions were huge! We could barely finish half of our meals. The only issue was the bottles of the various sauces were sticky and required opening with a paper towel. Every one of those should be cleaned by staff with a clean wet cloth each time a table is cleared. Still, would definitely recommend, and bring a huge appetite.

I just fell in love with this place, so far the best place if you want to grab something to eat..Better come real hungry ♥️ Because I promise you when you do and you eat, you’ll be so full when you leave and plus you’ll take a good portion home with you for about 3 days! That’s a promise! And on Wednesday’s you get 3 sides with your 2 choices of meat..I chose pulled pork & BBQ leg quarter and their sweet potato casserole is dee-licious, and their Kicking Greens, sure enough will knock your shoes off and their Texas toast is very tasty as well..For 16$ b4 3pm is the best deal I’ve seen yet, plus even after 3pm it’s 23$ but like I said earlier, you get your monies worth, also their smoked turkey will have you gobbling for real, melts in your mouth, so tender and juicy..I could go on & on..Please give them a try if you want a good lunch or supper! The Price is Right!

The Smoke Pit offers an impressive variety of choices, including pork, chicken, brisket, and many sides. The portions are generous and absolutely worth the price. One tray was enough for both me and my wife, with plenty left to take home. Everything tasted great, even though some items were a touch salty for us, cornbread included. The atmosphere was inviting and the place was lively.

The smoke pit absolutely blew me away! Their Dino ribs were cooked to perfection. The bone pulled out with only a pinch! You need to try the collard greens and the smoked dry rub wings as an appetizer. Mad respect to my Texas friends for a taste of home!

I had two great experiences first time was on the weekend. Now am back during the work week. The atmosphere and ambiance is nice. Avery and Brianna give this place a vibrant vibe. I travel all over the states for good food. This place definitely exceeds my expectations. The food is flavorful and delicious. I always get the leg quarters sweet potatoe casserole and corn bread. The Alabama white sauce is really good. Drinks are also great the bartenders make some great drinks. I give this place a 5/5 10/10 20/20. Great customer service reasonable price and great atmosphere.

I was in the area visiting a family member at the hospital and saw that this place had burnt ends on the menu so I decided to give it a try and grab some to go on my way back home to South carolina. The burnt ends were yummy, the portion size is fair and in line with the price. The service was great when I went to pick up my food, I like that the food was packaged in a tin pan Which gave all the food room. The toast was good and the mac and cheese was surprisingly good for a barbecue place as they typically are hit or miss and it’s Miss most times. I would definitely recommend.

What a great find! We live down in Greenville SC, but happened to be in the area doing some shopping. I found this place based on reviews online and it did NOT disappoint!!! This is easily the best BBQ we have ever had. The smell hits you first thing when you walk in. The service was great. The food was phenomenal. We will absolutely be returning! Highly recommend.
