Fantastic food, very friendly service, and perfect atmosphere for a small pit beef joint. Joint. Just a little shack in the back of a parking lot. Food is absolutely fantastic.

My favorite pit beef joint. The guys are great, the food is amazing, and the price is right.

Parking: You might have to wait when they're busy (ahem, Friday lunchtime), but otherwise it's easy to park.

Kid-friendliness: The kids have loved this place since they were little. The guys are so friendly and remember their order, even when it is months between visits.

Oh. What to say. Well we rolled in and as we were walking up, saw a sign that said cash only so we headed for the liquor store in the same parking lot. He knew immediately that I was looking for an ATM and I asked how? He pointed at the camera and smiled. He dialed us in on the run history of PPB, we grabbed some cash and product from him and headed back around to the shack.
You walk in and if you’re tall, you need to duck, there you are at a couple of windows with simple signs and they’re ready to slap together your sandwich. I had the standard pit beef sandwich with tiger sauce (as recommended by liquor store guy), and a pickle. Turns out tiger sauce is a horseradish sauce. They DK NOT skimp on the meat, wow and the sauce is fabulous. I had a pickle connoisseur with me and she agreed with me that it was one of the best pickles she’s ever had. So there you have it a fantastic off the chart sandwich with a fabulous pickle and a little something something from the liquor store. So glad I had this on my to go to list!

Straight up good food. Quick service, cash only. Worth the 2.5 drive. Very unassuming building, but the food was perfect. The pit beef is the best I’ve ever had. Brought a cooler so I could the turkey too! Love the prices and easy to choose from menu.

I asked for medium well pit beef. It was extremely dry, and I was overcharged .

They do one thing and they do it well. Pit beef how you want it and hand-cut fries.

I have been going there for many years great food

Scott Eisenhour

It's a shack with a few picnic tables, cash only. That said, it's probably the best pit beef in Baltimore. And prices are too!
