Amazing Hostess, Okay Service Visiting all the way from Washington State, our experience at The Pit Authentic Barbecue started on a high note. The hostess provided the warmest welcome we could have asked for. She took the time to tell us all about the restaurant's awards and seated us at a nice table.

The Pit Authentic Barbecue was a great experience for our group of 4 adults and 3 kids. They were very accommodating and had something for everyone on the menu.

I took about half my brisket home because the portion was so big. Also the restaurant is beautiful and has a great atmosphere! I’d love to return! Definitely make a reservation because it was very busy on a Saturday night but I had a reservation

Went to this place about a month ago. Unfortunately, on this night, the kitchen was absolutely so backed up and we waited around an hour for food. However, I can see why this place is so well rated. Please get what they are known for! The pulled pork was delicious. Unfortunately, for me, I decided to get the fried fish platter, which I can tell, sat in the window for around 30 minutes before the pulled pork came out.
