Went for a lunch. Had the skillet honey cornbread and ribs, as well as the fried chicken. All very good. Would definitely go back. The cornbread had a blueberry compote and it was almost a dessert.

We used The Pit to cater a work event for delivery (can't speak to atmosphere). The staff who delivered was extremely nice, on time, and executed the set up quickly. Our guests and staff raved about the food, the flavors, and the portions. Some said it was the BEST they've ever had! We were thoroughly satisfied with the entire experience. Will use them again!

I ordered the brisket and was disappointed with the childlike portion of the dish and how dry it was.

The atmosphere here is fantastic, but it comes at the expense of slow service and subpar “fancy” BBQ food. Despite the glowing reviews and enticing menu, the actual taste of the food was a letdown. The hush puppies were incredible, but the biscuits were a bit dry. They were perfectly complemented by the sweet butter.

I decided to try the two-meat, two-side combo. The pulled pork was dry and lacked any sauce on the side. The brisket was definitely the better of the two, but it still fell short of the high expectations set by a Michelin-starred restaurant. The temperature inside was freezing, but the hush puppies managed to warm me up.

Overall, I think this restaurant is overhyped. If you’re looking for BBQ with better flavor, I recommend trying another place. They definitely missed the mark on burnt ends, which are a must-try for BBQ lovers.

This was a special whiskey and prime rib dinner, $100 all in. See pictures for details but the first drink was a wonderful old-fashioned made with Weldon Mills bourbon, excellent balance and nothing weak about it! This was paired with smoke pimento cheese crostini and fig, fantastic! Next course was a lovely salad combination with straight up bourbon another great serving. The main entree was prime rib, scalloped potatoes and root vegetables, all delicious. Once again a nice pairing with straight up bourbon. Finer course was creme brulee with a final round of bourbon it was also good what a lovely evening. Great service, great atmosphere and great fun. I would definitely sign up for more of these and highly recommend them for others who haven't been there.

I get the same thing every time. Pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and side of pimento cheese balls. Perfect lunch! I have one strong suggestion. I frequent another bbq place that serves the pimento balls and they serve them with a thicker pepper jelly sauce. The Pits is more watery. Please thicken it up. Thank you!
