Mother and daughter day trip to the area. We took a chance and decided to try The Pitt for a late lunch. Wonderful and surprising exoerience. Small place with a big heart!
The gentleman there was obviously a neighborhood treasure. Customer after customer came in and engaged in short but thoughtful banter. He was friendly and made us feel welcomed.
The food was very good! The service was kind, thoughtful and genuine. The atmosphere was warm and homey. Definitely more of a take out or dine and go quick spot with limited seating.
We had the pulled pork sandwich and brisket on a biscuit. You pay for the sides. Coleslaw was included. We got chocolate chip cookies to share. Pricey but delish!
Parking was free and right in front. I have a feeling that parking may vary at different times of day.

My first time in today for lunch. Got a pulled chicken sandwich with fries to go…one of the best bbq sandwiches I’ve ever had!

I am great fan of this place. My family and I order food from here when we feel like having some pull pork, briskets or ribs. I normally order the ribs and chicken combo which comes with two sides. The ribs are flavorful. I also like their pull pork sandwich .I occasionally order their beef chili. The owner Bruno and staff Santos and Carlos are very friendly and nice! I will definitely recommend this place if you crave for some barbeque and you are in the Edgewater area.

The brisket was a little bit dry, but the chilli dog was really good. We also like their onion rings. Lemonade is a little bit water down, but it’s a giant drink.

After much anticipation of wanting try this spot for years, my wife and I finally had the chance. Here is an honest review.
Pros – Cole slaw and bbq sauce were on point. Very delicious. Unfortunately the pros end there.
Cons – Brisket and pork ribs were both overcooked and dry. The meat itself is good quality but the way it was overcooked really left us disappointed. As for the sides, we got fries as one of them and I could almost count how many fries there were because there were so few. I understand it’s a side but providing such a small amount of fries is laughable. Beans and corn were as it should be, nothing special and nothing wrong with it.
Perhaps it was a slow or off day and we can give them the benefit of the doubt but in terms of this experience, we won’t be going back anytime soon.

What a great spot. I passed it for years. I only ordered there once and it was for my daughter. Last night…I went with my wife and ordered some stufffffff.
Onion Rings – Pretty good. 4 out of 5
Smoke house burger – Burger with brisket and onions – 4.5 out of 5.
Small appetizer ribs – Off the chain – 6 out of 5. Fall of the bone. Perfect BBQ style taste with a delicious rub…
Service = 5 of 5. I think it was the owner that was there. If it was, he takes a lot of pride in his place and what he does. If it was not, the gent certainly acts like he is (in a good way).
Next time I will get the ribs as a meal. You CAN eat inside or outdoors but space is limited. Mostly for takeout.
P.S. For anyone who gave this place 3 stars or less, I recommend giving it another shot.

From the moment you walk in, The Pit feels like a hidden gem that knows exactly how to treat its guests. The BBQ trio platter is a standout — juicy ribs, tender brisket, and perfectly grilled chicken that tastes like it came straight from a backyard smoker. The sides? Not an afterthought. The mac and cheese is creamy and rich, the cornbread is golden and just sweet enough, and the potato salad hits that nostalgic comfort note.
What really sets The Pit apart is the vibe. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of place where the owner might bring water for your dog or offer an extra slice of cornbread just because. You can tell the chef puts pride into every plate, and it shows in the flavors.
Whether you’re grabbing takeout or sitting down with friends, The Pit delivers that rare combo of great food, great service, and great energy. If you’re anywhere near Edgewater and craving real BBQ, this is the spot.

My husband and I initially came here for the cornbread we heard so much about but stayed for lunch. I had the crispy flounder and my husband got the brisket on a roll and of course we got some cornbread. Everything was delicious. Nice crispy, not oily at all, flounder on a spongy roll with a side of slaw and fries which complimented each other well. The brisket was nice and juicy, perfectly seasoned. The cornbread was amazing just as we heard. Not only was the food great the owner was very welcoming. Definitely coming back to try different items on the menu.

This place is phenomenal and Bruno is such a good dude! He hooked it up. The brisket is some of the best i’ve had. Wings could not have been any crispier. The mac & cheese was also great and cheesy. Cole slaw & corn bread were enjoyable. He treated my younger brother and I very well and our only issue was that we didn’t order more. Top tier place! Try it out!

My cousin suggested we stop here and it was surprisingly good. The brisket on a roll is delicious, the best I’ve ever had. So tender and juicy. My brother had the pulled pork on a roll and said it was really good. The cousin had the pulled chicken on a bun and he said it’s his go-to when he comes here. The coleslaw was fresh, so was the potato salad, as well as the baked beans and the chili. Everything fresh. Only complaint would be on the attentiveness of the staff. Had to go in and out the place myself to get drinks, utensils, cups etc. The prices good too. Will try again because the food was really good
