I rolled up to Chaps Pit Beef near Essex ready to finally try Baltimore’s infamous pit beef. Big mistake.

I loaded up my sandwich with tiger sauce, but right away—no white onions available. The sauce station was a disaster, empty pumps and sticky mess everywhere. When I told the staff we were out of sauce, they literally just said “pump faster.” Cool, thanks.

Here’s the real problem though: the beef was completely flavorless. Like, shockingly bland. No seasoning, no smoke, nothing. For a place that supposedly specializes in pit beef, how do you mess up the main ingredient that badly? The horseradish sauce had some bite to it, but it can’t save meat that tastes like nothing.

I don’t get the hype. Maybe I caught them on a terrible day, but when your signature item is this underwhelming, something’s wrong. If you actually care about flavor, save your money and go literally anywhere else. Baltimore has better pit beef than this.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Loved everything about this place. Location, customer service, and especially the food!!! Got a pork bbq sandwich, baked beans, and some banana pudding!! It’s all 12/10!! Flavorful and delicious. The bread on the pork sandwich was perfection! I hate hard bread on sandwiches and this was soft and just heavenly.

The pit beef sandwich is an absolute show stopper. Staff was extremely friendly and I can’t explain how great this experience was 10/10 would do again.

This place was great. We were passing through from Philly to Virginia and grabbed dinner. We don’t have any charcoal type places where we’re from.

The charcoal flavor comes through and it was delicious. The girlfriend got the roast beef platter (beef over fries smothered in gravy), I got the habit sandwich (beef, Turkey, ham and cheese).

Everything was delicious, fast service on a Friday night at 6pm

Love the new spot-perfectly rare pit beef sammy with cole slaw FTW

Tasty, satisfying, and fresh.

I was looking forward to trying the pit beef Baltimore is known for. It was very tender and a very good sandwich. It's has a little smoke flavor and they offer a ton of options and sauces. I would try it again with some other options. Not amazing but very solid.

Walmart quality bun. Pit beef was ok, nothing special for $20. Best in Maryland, I think not. Good pricey food with crap bun.

First time here, very friendly staff, and delicious food I will be back.
