    Small bbq restaurant next to Bluebonnet Palace and you can smell the wonderful bbq from the parking lot. Pretty small inside but there are outdoor seatings. They didn't have enough servers in my opinion as the person running the cash register also delivered the food. The food tasted great and the portion size is bigger than you think it would be. I would say it was a little more salty than most bbq foods I have had but it didn't ruin the meal. If you ever out in Selma, or waiting for a concert at Bluebonnet Palace, the Blue Pit Smokehouse is a must try

    Seated immediately. Waitress was taking my order within a few minutes. Ordered a two meat plate with brisket, sausage, cola slaw and green beans. The regular sausage was not ready, all they had was jalapeño sausage so I changed to pulled pork. Nice and rustic, lots of wood inside. The brisket and the pulled pork were both outstanding! Portion size was very good as well. I normally get green beans due to their being low carb and don't really notice them but these got my attention! Not sure what they seasoned them with but I really liked their flavor. The coleslaw was also good, not overly sweet but crisp and fresh and seemed to taste a bit of apple. I have to say I will definitely be back next time I am in town. Excellent bar b que!!

    Popped in for a quick lunch with the family. We ordered two of the BBQ plates, with brisket, chicken and sausage. Sides were potato salad, mac and cheese, and tator tots. Brisket was juciy and delicious, the chicken was spot on. Sausage was pretty good too. As for the sides, the tots and potato salad were great. The mac and cheese however was bland. Service was very friendly and the cost was very reasonable. Portions are pretty large and we shared the two plates between us and our kids, and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. Good place to eat and worth the stop!

    I Absolutely love this place! Josh really took care of me and my family to make sure that we felt at home! The food was not only cooked to perfection but very well presented! The staff are sanitary, friendly, energetic and prepared to give you the best smokehouse experience! Come out to the Blue pit Smokehouse and enjoy some amazing entrees (brisket, nachos, tacos, and much more!) Let me tell you about the peach cobbler, well No spoiler alert here, you just have to come out and indulge your senses!!!

    Wandered in here with a hungry belly, left full! Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Thanks to Mar, who took my order. Stop by and say hi to Josh, pit master. Food so good it should be illegal. The Mac and cheese ...damn! Thanks for stopping by my table today Josh. Great meeting someone who loves what he does! Check out their Facebook page to see who's gonna be playing. The have a dance and music venue in the back. They do catering and private parties.

    Wow. Just wow. It's no secret that this area of town has very few lunch options that aren't chains or fast food. Today, I found my new GO TO lunch spot. For well under $10, I got a loaded brisket sandwich quickly and with excellent service. This place is a little honey hole in an industrial plaza. Great barbecue in a cozy cafe style restaurant and a huge outdoor sitting area for music and fun. Do yourself a favor and get over here.

    Came to this restaurant because of the reviews. However, I was unpleasantly surprised with the salty brisket and cold sides that didn't have any flavor. Service was average, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant nor will I be returning.

    This place is amazing!!!!! Josh and Pamela were super nice and made sure I had everything I needed before driving almost an hour home. Customer service is on point. And I had to taste the best looking meats before I even got in the car. Omg!!!!! It's soooooo good! Perfect brisket and delicious sausage which is house made. We have been looking for a go to bbq place and this is definitely it! If you are looking for amazing bbq...get your meat sweats on at Blue Pit!!

    The theme, "Purple Pig" is genius. The people working here are really nice…read more The ambience is okay. Old school music was good but the volume was too much to bear. How can you relax and have a conversation with your friends or a date if you can't hear yourselves think? The service is nonexistent and that's fine because it's your basic fast food concept. Not a problem. However, the food is more industrial based than true Texas BBQ. My brisket was very dry. They slather a lot of BBQ sauce on top of your meat. Why? Because the meat is either old or dry or both. Mine was very dry. The beans were drenched in sugar. The Mac and Cheese lacked (cheese) taste. We love good BBQ. This is not good BBQ. Compare to the Burnt Bean in Sequin and you will understand. The burnt bean runs out of product leaving long lines for their food; it's real BBQ, fresh homemade food. You can taste it.

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! We showed up about 45 minutes before the kitchen…read moreclosed and they were still so welcoming and never made us feel rushed. I ordered the BBQ parfait with a grape lemonade and gooooodness... it was delicious and super filling!! We also had the chance to meet one of the owners, who was really nice. The staff overall was kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. The inside is pretty small with just a few tables both inside and outside, but it had a cozy vibe. I'd definitely love to come back and try more items on the menu!

    I like to support local food trucks, but especially BBQ food trucks. I saw 3B BBQ on my Facebook…read morefeed and saw they were coming to my area of San Antonio. Tonight's special was burnt ends, leg quarter, mac & cheese and potato salad for $12. And he is doing brisket for $20 for a limited time. The burnt ends are my favorite. That bark is great and it's tossed in his sweet hot BBQ sauce. Not burn your momma hot, but just right. The chicken was smokey and tender. The brisket slices were tender and moist with a nice smoke ring. So good dipped in a little sauce. The macaroni is Texas-sized shells with a creamy cheese sauce. And the potato salad was made with cubed potatoes that had just the right firmness with a tasty mayo mustard dressing. The portion sizes on the $12 plate were better than any restaurant I have visited for more cost. Had a good time talking to the pitmaster about what he smokes, his smoker, and the wood he uses. A really nice guy we need to support.

    Where to start??? Drooling thinking about their menu. The ribs the potato salad and the pulled pork…read morein bbq sauce with homemade Mac n cheese on top is as good as it sounds.

Delicious !!!
