Pulled pork and brisket are always great. Sauces are all delicious. Excellent service from the staff. Apple cobbler tucks you into bed at the end of the meal. The one thing that always impresses me is the level of the sides. The jalapeño cream corn is a highlight and the hash brown casserole is delicious but they are all amazing.

Uhm….
I honestly thought that I was purchasing a lunch plate of three meats, sides.
Holy cow look at this food!
I went with a three choice combo two sides and wanted to try the hush puppies. Added the chicken to try it out.
So first of all, it’s excellent. Big shocker I know but —- I’m not a huge barbecue fan.
However, I definitely highly recommend the smoke pit. I will also tell you in my opinion, hands-down, 100 times better than city barbecue (separate review).
The three meats are brisket, shredded pork, burnt ends. I asked for a combination of lean and fatty on the burnt ends. Glad I did they were excellent!
Ordered a side of two pieces of chicken, plain. Ordered slaw, collard greens, and hush puppies. 
Again, the following is my personal opinion only? The slaw and the collards were bit spicy. Collard greens were exactly what I expected and they’re good.
For me, slaw was too bitter. I understandthat is typical for southern slaw, so nothing against them at all.
The meats? Really really good! The texture, tenderness, were spot on. None of those meats were dry, nothing was overpowering, even the burnt ends, which I was afraid would be too sweet.
Don’t get me wrong. The burnt ends definitely were sweet but? The flavor was good and I enjoyed it! 
I kind of wish I had gotten the cornbread instead of the hush puppies. The hush puppies are very good. I think if I had eaten on site, they would’ve been crispier on the outside? But the flavor was very good with a dense texture.
Anyway, wanted to try it and figured I would welcome in the new year by treating myself and sharing here with all of you! 
Note to self? You don’t get a ‘lunch plate’ You get a lunch CASSEROLE usually I make a baked ziti in something this size lol!

Finally a new BBQ joint for this area. This place is the real deal. From the moment you walk in, the smell of slow-smoked meats tells you you’re in for something special. It’s new so there’s so kjnks to work but great thus far.
The Food:
The pulled pork is tender, juicy, and piled high — exactly what you want from a Southern-style BBQ plate. The brisket steals the show, though: smoky bark on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside, with just the right balance of fat and flavor. The wings? Perfectly crisped, kissed with smoke, and sauced just enough to keep your fingers sticky but not drenched.
Portions & Value:
The servings are huge — this is the kind of BBQ where you either share with friends or head home with enough leftovers for another full meal (or two). It’s great value for the quality and quantity.
The only somewhat negatives during out first visit was that there is no silverware! It’s plastic utensils and paper towels, which you’ll need. Some friends wanted wine, but there was only one kind and no wine glasses.

Alie is AMAZING!
We wanted something good, filling and reasonably priced and we both said “Smoke Pit”. Perfect choice.
We were seated quickly and Alie took the best care of us.
I decided on the brisket, sausage and rib combo with kickin greens, Mac and cheese and hush puppies.
Everything was AMAZING!!!! I had enough to take home for lunch the next day.
And you must get the pecan cobbler.

First, what a nice place. I ordered the combo with BQ and turkey. It was a bunch of food and everything was good. My wife had the baked potato with pork, it was huge. Could have had more sour cream. Our server was nice but I had to wait for a refill on an ice tea and the place wasn’t that busy. I read other reviews and they mentioned a complimentary desert? Wonder what it was, we were never told. Overall it was good food for the price.

So glad we found a barbecue spot close to home! We ordered the 7 Meat Feast and it was more than enough to probably feed 8-10 people. You would think that the ribs or brisket would have sold us, but it was the turkey! Very tender and juicy. The pickles are soooo good and our server was so friendly. We will absolutely be back!

We ate lunch there today for our first visit. It did not disappoint! Katy was our server and was so helpful in helping us figure out what to order. She had great customer service. The food was fabulous! It came quickly and exceeded our expectations. Plus the complimentary dessert was the perfect ending! We will be back!

Was ecstatic to see The Smoke Pit open a location closer to me. Went there for dinner and it did not disappoint! Had a Dino Rib that came with two sides and choice of bread. I went with the baked beans and potato salad, both of which were solid. The Dino Rib was delicious. Portions were enough for me to make two meals out of it. They give free dessert at this location, so I gave the strawberry cobbler a shot and it was great. Will definitely be back!

The chicken was my favorite dish. The chicken was flavored nicely. The sauce on top of the chicken was lovely and creamy. The chicken was cooked well, yet maintained it’s moist. The young man at the takeout counter was very polite and helpful. I asked many questions, and he expertly explained things to me. I decided on the brisket plate and chicken. The brisket I felt tasted better the next day. The vinegar slaw was good. The corn bread and was light and fluffy with pieces of corn with every bite. I would like to see the vegetarian options clearly labeled.
