I tried the brisket here and it was legit amazing — super tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. The vibe is chill, great spot to grab some BBQ and watch the game. Definitely coming back for the ribs next time!

Top notch service. High quality BBQ. Beer on draft or cans; a big selection so you can choose one that pairs perfectly with your food.
Indoor has spacious seating, tvs and a traditional bar style setup. Outdoor seating covered and uncovered is spacious and dog friendly for well behaved K9s.
With all these perfectly executed nails in the coffin, they just earned a new regular. Do yourself a solid and try them out if you haven’t.

I recently dined at The BBQ Pit with a large group, and we all had a fantastic experience! I ordered the BBQ spud with pulled pork, and it was absolutely delicious. The food came out fast, hot, and perfectly cooked, which was especially impressive given the size of our party.
The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. Another highlight is their drink selection—I’m a big fan of Stubborn Soda, and they also have a great beer lineup to choose from.
Overall, the experience was top-notch, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!

While this new restaurant replaced the iconic Burger Pit, it truly provides an updated ambience and menu. The food is delicious to say the least. We chose the Brisket and it was the most tender brisket I have ever tasted. The beer menu is spectacular as is the service. This is a locally family run business and you can tell each employee strives to put their best foot forward!

I have nothing negative to say about this place. Our first time eating there. I think the sauce is best. The spicy sauce is sweet and slightly spicy. The family enjoyed the pulled pork, burnt ends and chicken. The baked potato is huge. The beans and coleslaw are tasty. The cornbread and garlic bread are just right. Maybe a little honey would make the cornbread perfect. We will never visit famous Dave’s again as long as this place is around

This used to be some old run down smelly place called the Burger Pit. The place used to smell like cigarettes, urine on the carpets and road kill. But now under new management or owners. It made a complete 360 turn around and the place looks great. Inside and out. The outside tables in front and on the side of the place are great. Me and my buddy decided to Yelp them out. I ordered the Boneless Rib sandwich with potato salad and soda. My friend ordered the burnt ends with some chili beans and some garlic toast. Over all food was good. The rib sandwich had a couple of bone fragments or cartlidge still left so I had to be careful munching on it with my teeth. The potato salad tasted a little old not fresh. They have different salad options. The burnt ends had too much BQ sauce and the chili beans tasted ok. Nothing spectacular but well cooked. 4 star for this review. Could they do better? Yes. Does it need a little QC? Yes.
They have some sweet desert yummies. Breakfast also included and they open at 7am. I will be back and do recommend it for those looking for different BQ places.

We were really happy to discover this place. We’ve really enjoyed the tri-tip, ribs, and chicken. Their beans and potato salad were excellent! Their sauce is perfect! Not a fan of their cornbread. It’s too heavy for our tastes. But the garlic bread is great! Only down side was no French fries! Gah! They’re also across the valley from us, so we won’t be able to visit as much as we’d like. ☹

I grew up in Alabama so I know good barbecue.
Food ratings from best to worst of what I tried.
Beef Brisket – 10/10 Tender, great flavor, perfect.
Potato Salad – 9/10 Yummy!
Mac & Cheese – 6/10 Not bad, noodles good, but cheese sauce was bland.
Cornbread – 6/10 – I have had a lot of bad cornbread, this one was oddly flat, and a little lacking in flavor, but overall not terrible. Definitely needs to come with a side of honey butter or something.
Garlic Bread – 6/10 It’s fine, but nothing special
Pork Ribs – 5/10 – Very chewy (It did have a strong smoky flavor if that’s your thing)
Baked Beans 1/10 – Brown soup with beans in it. Flavor profile was giving chili, not baked beans, did not like at all. Also beans dry. I would go back to the drawing board on this dish if I were this restaurant.
This was my first time ordering so not sure how consistent the food is from here, but overall it was very good and would try again. Just not the beans… D: and I LOVE baked beans 🙁

Well, that’s their Cornbread.
1/4 inch thick piece of burnt doughy bread.
The bbq sauce on the Brisket Sandwich is a no for me. Brisket, good. Small Square Ciabatta-type Bread & Sauce, no.
Overpriced- $17.50 for half of what I thought would be a normal sized sandwich & 1 Side of burnt doughy cornbread. Did not finish the cornbread after 1 bite & spit out the 2nd bite, tossed it.
The last time I went to The Burger Pit before The BBQ Pit, they served me a Tainted Hot Dog – years ago, never been back.

After 4 different visits I have come to the conclusion that this place is not worth it. The inconsistent food quality is a big issue. The main issue for me during my visits is that they can’t seem to nail the temperature of the meat upon serving it. They need to install heat lamps or something to keep the meats at a decent temperature when plating them. By the time the kitchen plates the food and a server places the food on your table the meat has gone cold. I don’t know why this keeps occurring. I have mentioned this to the staff, but they don’t seem to care about doing something about it. The other issues relate to their side dishes. On one visit I ordered the Macaroni and Cheese and in that instance the pasta was sooooo overdone that it was falling apart into a puree. Their corn bread recipe is horrible, no flavor to it, they need to choose another recipe for it. Their beans side dish tastes straight out of a can. The ambiance is great, merchandise is interesting, as well as their beverage selection. But when it comes to the meats and side dishes they have a lot to work out. I am giving this place one more try (because I bought one of their deal cards) and if they don’t meet my minimum expectations, I will never go back. I have a few neighbors that have mentioned the same issues, so I am not alone here with my review. One last thing, as you can see from my two photos posted, I paid a lot of money for the lunch combo to only receive the equivalent of 2 slices of meat. I say 2 because even though 3 slices are shown in the first photo all the fat they contained made up for one slice (as shown in the second photo). This is outrageous. I think the kitchen staff should be given the discretion to add more meat if there is too much fat in the slices. As soon as the money is used up in my gift card, this place will be off my list and will join the magnificent void of No Return.
