The Pit BBQ Lounge

The young lady that helped myself and my wife on 3/30/25 she was very knowledgeable of the menu items we asked about. Even gave her favorite dish as an option. Overall friendly service. We ordered to go. But the ribs brisket and cornbread even was really good. Nice smoke flavor to the meat. Potatoe salad was ok. 8 out of 10 overall. We will be back again though. Great food!! Thanks again

First: Pricing beware. What is on the menu is NOT what they charge you. $9.99 onion rings turned into $10.29. The tip percentages are out of sequence, so 15% 25% 20% 30%. Whether this is on purpose or not is unclear.

Flavor-wise, the meat was great. Not overly smoky, but definitely smoky. Unfortunately, flavor is not the only consideration in a barbecue and the meat was quite dry. The brisket and chicken were both dry, although the chicken was still tender so perhaps this was just bad luck on our end. The pulled pork was decent enough.

The sides were unfortunate, the mac n cheese was rather plain which is alright, but the coleslaw was bland. It is a vinegar based coleslaw however it seemed more like a bag of coleslaw mix with a salad vinaigrette dressing poured over it, one that was heavy handed on the pepper too.

The appetizers we got were fantastic; The pork spring rolls were great. Amazing flavor and fantastic presentation. The onion rings seemed house-made; Regardless, they were delicious and not greasy or too salty.

The atmosphere is cool, I appreciated the Marshall guitar amp and the guitar with it. They have games for kiddos if that’s a consideration for you.

The Pit rolls (BBQ egg rolls) are solid! Give this place a try next time the food truck swings by!

I give this less stars overall because there were a few things I wanted to touch on. The food overall tasted and looked great. We came in with a party of 11 so we were thankful they could accommodate. When ordering the appetizer rolls that are their specialty are listed it shared 3 rolls. Do one gentleman ordered what he expected one spicy and one regular to what came out where 3 separate orders of each so we had alot of extras. That to us was just a little extra that a table with kids would have ordered 9 separate appetizers. The server should have clarified that. Food besides that was tasty and came out within a timely manner. Prices were not too bad, but considering 5 adults and 6 kids which most kids eating kids meals it really was excessive with all the added appetizers. So dividing out was over $20 a person. And if you ask me most kids can’t eat that amount of food. To which I should include adults just had waters. Lemonades were not included in kids meal prices either.

They had live music which was good and always help drown out the extra noise of children! They engaged with our kids and that was pleasant too.

I would go back but just pay more close attention to what was ordered.

The pork was so bland, had a slight fake smoke taste. Corn bread was dry. Only thing that tasted fresh was the pico on our loaded fries. Not sure if we would recommend or even try again as the first taste was a complete bummer.

great staff! Saturday my son treated me to a late lunch-early dinner"lunner" and I had ribs, coleslaw,cornbread= excellent! will be back! keep up the good work!

So apparently the manager and there hostess does not know how to serve to the military in the area, apparently you cannot buy a gift card from another state and have it mailed to a military family in Papillio because that is way to much work for the manager or the hostess to grasp! Even though our soldiers are in the area trying to keep us all safe it would be way too much work for a manager or a hostess to nail a gift certificate out to a local family, and the professionalism of the manager was way out of line , he definitely does not know how to address the public. Such a shame that your customer service has gone down the drain!!!!

One of the best bbq places here in Omaha. They need better signage because they're easy to miss, but absolutely worth the stop, especially on game days
