Jerk chicken was on point! I should’ve asked for all dark meat but that’s on me. Next time!
I know precisely where to go for some good gumbo, and great prices! Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area.
Everything was on point! Got the jerk chicken plate and the rib tips.

Disclaimer: did not order any jerk dishes, only barbecue. This place has potential. The staff was polite and provided good service. We ordered mostly BBQ: brisket, ribs, rib tips, fried okra. We also got the lemonade and it was so good we got more to go.
The meat had good flavor, the brisket was juicy and tender, thought it does seem the fat had not fully rendered. The BBQ sauce was very good.
However, the ribs had a texture like they had been blasted in a 400 degree oven for 20 mins. Dry and tough. I had to rip the meat off the bone or nibble on it. The rib tips were bone dry to the point of being crunchy, and the okra was just ok.
I truly believe if this place keeps its seasoning strategy but starts smoking their BBQ cuts properly at low temp for a long time, it has the potential to be a great barbecue spot. They've got the seasoning down, now they need to up the patience and prep.

I don’t know what the heck people are talking about when they say the vibes are immaculate. The vibes were absolutely horrible. The waitress was the absolute worst. Entire experience was awkward and vibes low. The food sucks, non alcoholic drinks practically non existent stuck drinking water station water that god knows where it came from. Only people in entire restaurant and the food took forever.

Been to many BBQ place mostly in WNY area. We were In Denver this week decided to try The Jerk Pit Smokehouse. It doesn't look like much at first but the food was excellent! Tried the brisket with their fried okra, both were excellent actually the best I've ever had. Would highly recommend trying this place out. Scott the owner personally took care of us and was very personable and provided awesome service.

We stopped in for a late lunch, and let me just say, what a treat! The atmosphere was upbeat and welcoming, and we even got to meet the owner/chef, who was incredibly friendly.
Now, the food. WOW. We ordered the Jerk Wings and the Smoked Jerk Chicken dinner plate with southern collard greens and Louisiana rice and beans. From the very first bite, you could taste that deep smokiness woven right into the chicken. The seasoning was perfectly balanced, bold enough to stand out, but not overwhelming. The heat didn’t smack you in the face, it crept in slowly, in the best way possible. And the skin on the chicken? Perfection. The southern collard greens. Hands down, 100/10. I honestly could’ve ordered an extra side of them and been perfectly happy. (Was also my first time having collard greens)
All in all, the food & vibes made it an awesome experience. We’ll definitely be back when we're in town!
