The Barbecue Pit

Always a great experience. I have been coming here since my grandparents took me here in the early 90s. Love this BBQ place! Great food especially when you're craving a home cooked meal. You dont want to miss out on trying this at least once! Young man at the counter such great service, serves with a smile.

Ribs had a bad flavor and smell. Simply the worst experience I had in San Diego for ribs.
Will never comeback.

If you're feeling homesick for the South, this is the restaurant to come to. Good food without the frills. Loved it!

I ordered the bbq ribs, ham & sliced beef combo with side orders of baked beans, potato salad & corn bread muffins. The ribs were well seasoned & tender. The ham & beef were both flavorful. The baked beans & potato salad were well executed with the perfect blend of sweetness. The corn meal muffins were moist & very good. I think however by heating them first in the microwave as well as serving them with a side of butter would really elevate the cornbread to another level. The bbq sauce has a unique flavor & is excellent all around. Portions are generous & customer service is on point. I was too full to sample any dessert. A solid choice for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended for a hearty & enjoyable meal!

The food was good but I wish there was more food for the price we paid. Definitely not BBQ like the South.

Great barbecue place with very good quality food. The Barbecue Beef and Ham was delicious. Several sides to choose from,--barbecue beans, coleslaw, mashed potatoes to name a few--all good. We'll be back. Excellent !

Consistently good food. The ham sandwich is my favorite. Fries are thick and crispy. Lots of space for seating with the family.

My parents use to work here way, way ,WAY back in the day when it was owned by the Jensen's. This is one of the few things I do miss about California. Whenever I'm back in Southern California, I always make sure to stop in. Great food, great atmosphere. All around, a definite must.
