    Small little place but not popular so we were able to sit right away. Not like your traditional BBQ where you order from the counter and go sit, here you have wait staff which is nice so you are able to look over and talk about the food more. Had brisket, pulled pork which was good the sausage was a little dry but the sauce was good as well as all the sides. Overall a great place to go and enjoy when you want to get some BBQ and cobbler.

    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.

    Brisket is amazing and the shiner beans. Service was amazing. Lexi was the best, giving us great service and was extremely helpful.

    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!!

    DoorDashed lunch order for legit BBQ and the whole family enjoyed it…read more Highlights: - Pulled pork sandwich: huge pile of meat and big bun natural without sauce. My picky 22 year old pork connoisseur 12 year gobbled it all up. 5 stars - Brisket: tasty with a bit char and smoke flavor. 4 stars - Mac and cheese: on the lighter side being not too cheesy or creamy but decent flavor in the large corkscrew noodles. 3.5 stars - Pork rib: very tasty not much meat 3.5 stars - Can do a combo of 2 meats - Doirdashable: sometimes only subpar places are available. Midlights: - Green beans: just ok and big mooshy but think that's standard in Texas - No fries in DoorDash Lowlights: - Didn't get the chance to enjoy the ambience or great service people talk about since we got delivery. Had a solid lunch delivered and would be happy to order from there again--or visit next time.

They are open Wednesday through Saturday. A nice couple in the food truck helped me out. They have a large menu of meats and said they had all the meats on the menu today. I opted for the two meat combo with brisket and turkey. Had green beans and mac & cheese as my sides. Some of the best sauce in the area. I could have used another serving. Not overly sweet and may have included mustard. Brisket was good, but not great. It really needed more smoking time to get a thicker smoke ring and cold have benefitted by more bark. The turkey was tasty and had a good smoke flavor. The green beans were cooked with bacon and seasoned with pepper. I liked the flavor, but the beans were too mushy for me. I wish they used fresh green beans. The mac and cheese was very good. Nice and creamy with a good cheese flavor.

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.

The staff were super friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, willing to answer questions and making us feel comfortable throughout our meal. The dining area is small like others have mentioned but we were able to grab a table. I certainly wouldnt lower my review because of it. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, everything is cooked fresh to order- which I love. We ordered the hapa mixed plate and it was plenty of food for both my husband and I to share. Everything was really good, the salad dressing was delicious. If you want some amazing hawaiian food, with friendly service then give Howzit a try, I doubt you will be disappointed.

The beach bbq chicken was also okay but it definitely could improve. The macaroni salad and green salad were okay but need better packaging for takeout. Dining area is small and needs improvement... since I was planning to dine in but changed my mind as I entered. Ventilation needs improvement. The kitchen hoods were not adequately venting out the smoke which flowed into the dining area. Price-to-portion for each item was way off compared to what I get at the other Hawaiian restaurants... maybe their operating costs might be high... hope things improve. 2 stars for my first experience. I'll try again in a few months.
