My favorite BBQ spot in Baton Rouge that I make an excuse to eat at every time I’m in town. Friendly staff, good ambiance, but the food is amazing. Brisket is fire and sides are delicious but the chicken quarter is something extra special. I typically don’t mix meats when I eat bbq but I make another excuse to do it when I eat here!

The BBQ is the best in Baton Rouge and I would venture to say in Louisiana. Had a taste of most meats, the Beef Ribs cannot be beat.....try them. JB has customer service down as I was treated like VIP.

Great food!!! Awesome customer service! I found this place on a google search. It has a GREAT VIBE!! I have told colleagues, family, and friends about this place. I am definitely going back for karaoke and the jazz band on Friday nights.I met who, I think was the owner, he gave me the grand tour of the facility: outdoor and indoor spaces, fire pit, pool tables, lounge area, kids are welcome. 5 star Customer service that’s rarely seen in these days. ….PUT THIS PLACE ON YOUR SHORT LIST!!!

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing environment. Everything from pool to books to vintage music boxes. This is a great place to hang out and play pool, vibe out with a drink to live jazz, or catch a book in one of their many comfy chairs. The food is impeccable and seemingly made to order. The staff welcomed us in and gave a tour of the place. I suppose they can pot new faces. All in all this place is much needed on this side of town and they don't slack in any way. Can't wait to come celebrate my birthday here in two weeks.

This place is amazing. I had the smoked whole catfish, and mannnn that flavor was impeccable. I’m going back for the smoked salmon immediately. The vibe is real chill, the owner’s cool, and the portions are huge.If you’re reading this and contemplating on if you should go there, stop thinking. Do it! You won’t regret it. The food is delicious. 10/10!

It was my first time trying Smokey Pit food and it was to die for. Love the jerky chicken pork ribs and the baked beans. Glad I found me a good BBQ PLACE.

Flavorful food, friendly service, awesome atmosphere (I went on a Jazz Friday). The food was a little slow but I definitely had a good time. Very unique place.

You HAVE to experience it for yourself. No regrets thus far and I've been a faithful customer for over a year now. My top three go to meats are smoked catfish, smoked wings, smoked pork ribs. In case you haven't figured it out, the meats are smoked!
Literally Speechless!! Food Fabulous!! I Mean Fan Freakin Tastic!! IF You Aren't Careful, My Lord, You Will Hurt Yourself!!
Oh So Classy! Fiercely Upscale!! Top Knotch!! This Kind of Vibe ISN'T for Everyone, Ya Dig!!
My Husband and I may have Very Well Fallen In Love!!!

I absolutely love this place. The food is always delicious. Very family oriented. There are many games you can play such as chess, billiards, and so much more. The pit has karaoke and live bands (rotating weekends). The Pit has recliners and several amenities that all can enjoy. I often sit there and do my homework , read a book, or and reflect. By far one of my favorite hangout spots. Truly a blessing to the community and a hidden gem. JB is a phenomenal owner and Whitney is an extraordinary host.
