**First timer review**Nice local spot. The rumors were definitely true. Great flavors and portions sizes. Fast, hot, and simple. They’ll even clean the table for you. 9/10 absolutely recommend for soothing those bbq cravings.

A local favorite burritos and sandwiches, ribs on Saturday. The potato salad is the best ever! One of the great local places run by the same woman for a few decades.

Johnny's Pit Barbeque, on the outside is a fairly nondescript place on Doniphan Dr. That, is where average ends for Johnny's.I went there with my fiance, and we were promply greeted by a friendly, enthusiastic lady who promptly started that the ribs were still available. Music to my ears!Of course, I ordered a half rack of ribs.Perfectly cooked, just enough smoke to let you know, but still allowing the flavor of the meat to speak for itself. So darn good I didn't even take a picture!The Barbeque sauce, had just enough vinegar to open the taste buds but not enough to be pungent. Again, still allowing the meat to speak for itself.Additionally, we ordered the Big Johnny.The bun, toasted to perfection. However, it barely contained the brisket, and fixings. Brisket was smoked perfectly, just like the ribs. Not dry, not greasy. Topped with pickles, mustard, bbq sauce, onions and jalapeños.In still thinking about this sandwich a day later.Everyone thinks their BBQ is the best.I could recommend Johnny's ribs over my own.

Best meat was the hot links. Pork was dry and brisket was tough. Drinks came in a can. Potato salad was bland and beans taste like Ranch Style Beans out of a can. Lady's were nice. Service medium speed. Prices are a little high compared to quality. Restaurant setting area needs to have items removed that are not for service.

Fantastic takeout baby back ribs and brisket sandwich. Tender meat, tasty sauce, Packaged very nicely with extra bbq sauce. Good cole slaw and macaroni salad. Too bad ribs aren't available every day. Nothing else negative to say.
