Chris & Pitts BBQ Restaurant

We stopped here on our way to Disneyland and it was great! The barbecue was on point! I had the bbq beef sandwich - the bread was soft and the beef was so tender. We also had ribs and chicken. All excellent. The sides were ok, but it's not Chris & Pitts Sides - you're here for the bbq. I would definitely come back again!

Like many other reviewers I have been coming here for years. If you want nostalgia, this is then place to go, but quality service and food is an afterthought.

Service was slow and not that great. Waiter never checked on my party of 6, and didn’t even bother to refill our drinks.

Food was 2/10. It used to be great, but not so much anymore.

Prices here are a joke. Inflation? No,it’s just overpriced.

I don’t think you’ll see this place around much longer as the patrons they rely on to stay in business are slowly fading away (dying due to old age). The younger crowd (Me) won’t make this institution like my parents did unless service gets better, prices go down and the place gets dusted and cleaned.

Also, I felt like an elementary school kid when I asked for ketchup and they brought out 4 individual single serving containers for my party of 6. What the heck is that? Can you not afford actual bottles? No BBQ sauce on the table even. It’s a BBQ restaurant!!

Omg, my father would turn over in his grave if he saw his restraunts now. He was the Original owner of Chris & Pitts back in the mid 40s along with Mr. Pelonis. My father Morris Pittman had acquired some of the most delicious recipes that had made the restraunts such a huge hit for several decades.
If you’re going to photograph food, hire a professional photographer! The photos shown don’t look very appetizing nor do the outdated look of the remaining restaurants. So sad to see this go down hill when it was such a well known establishment. Daughter of Mr. Morris Pittman

This place is a glorious memory of my childhood and I love it. Always superb food.

Super old school. Been coming here 40 years I'll bet. I wouldn't call it the best BBQ but I'm always happy with my food and the portions are good for your dollar.

You can't beat good ol' Chris & Pitts for comfort food! My top sirloin and ribs were great and cooked exactly right. I absolutely love their steak fries with the mushroom gravy. Best of all, the prices are fair, which is a huge plus with how expensive everything is now.
