As authentic as it gets for Baltimore pit beef. 5 stars for atmosphere because anything nicer would not fit, 5 stars for service because it's no frills -- fun small talk, real people, but they aren't catering to any snobs either.

Best pit beef around. You can't beat their prices for such huge portions. Fries are amazing too. If you're not a beef fan, pit turkey is also great!

This place does not know how to make pit beef sandwiches. I walked up they asked me. Do I want medium well or rare if that exact moment? I know that you don't know the definition of pit beef and serving Roast Beef. Labeling it as pit beef pit beef is defined by eating the whole spectrum from burnt to rare. Get it right or get out of our city.

Best time to go is after lunch hr bc the line maybe longer during that times

Great example of Baltimore pit beef. Small menu, pit ham and turkey available as well. Only open lunch hours, 1100-1700. I've driven by here a few times, easily seen from the intersection and today it was on my route between jobs.

Decent line when I showed up and an even longer line while I waited. I stood in line 20-25 minutes but once I ordered I revived my food in quickly. People ahead of me were ordering multiple sandwiches.

Loved the pit beef, would try any pit meat here. Cash only. Good rolls, decent condiment section. The regular size sandwhich is a filling portion of protein, the super looks like a good one to pick loose pieces off of.

Small no frills shack. There's a reason the line is long.

I haven’t tried other pit beef spots, but this one was solid—very good food, quick service, and no frills. I stopped by while driving to Washington, D.C., and chose it because it was the second-highest rated on Yelp and conveniently along my route. For the original sandwich, my recommendation would be extra tomatoes, extra onions and adding Au Jus.

Ps- the beef goes from the grill to the slicer to ur bun in seconds, so it is as fresh as u can get it, and there are the options for Raw-Medium-Well-done.

The pit beef us VERY tasty! The fries with gravy are good too.

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.
