She recommended the brisket tacos, which my hubby and i both loved. She also recommended the BBQ ranch dressing that we thought was pretty darn great. My kiddos catfish was a little under cooked. Being that I dont cook catfish, we weren't sure if it was ok to eat. A gentleman came out and looked at it and offered to cook another piece (she'd already eaten one piece). I feel like they handled that very well. All told, we enjoyed our food, loved our server, and we will be back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend!

A very nice BBQ "Joint!"…read more Lots of parking, lots of options on the menu, tables inside and out, a nice selection of sauces, and very friendly staff. The restaurant is very clean and has several televisions. Katie did a great job helping me navigate the menu and keeping my Diet Coke filled. I ordered the Brisket Plate with Baked Beans, Cole Slaw, Cheese Grits, and Cornbread. The Brisket was very moist and tender. It had a mild flavor, but the Hot BBQ Sauce helped. All 3 sides were tasty and I'm glad I ordered them. The Corn Bread had a nice texture and flavor, but the piece was a bit small and I would have liked some honey or butter with it. Prices here are fair and the food is good. I'm glad I stopped for lunch.

I researched two BBQ joints in Marion and this was the first of the two I've tried. Plus. It needed…read moresome Yelp representation with photos. Somethings you need to know about Marion Pit BBQ are: Southern Living magazine did a feature on them. They are primary drive-thru but have benches and tables outside to eat on. They do ribs on Wednesday and Saturday and chicken on Sunday and Thursday. But you are going to want the pulled pork because it was a-ma-zing! It was tender, juicy, and seasoned well. I'm so glad I doubled the meat! There are two sauces - a mild and hot. They remind me a lot of Sonny's Mild and Smokin BBQ sauce except with the made fresh aspect. I would rank the Hot as a 6 or 7 on a heat scale. My sides were potato salad and Mac and cheese. The potato salad is a mustard style and had celery in it. The mac ancl cheese was solid. The one thing I wish they would do would be offer fresh-brewed sweet tea. I remembered Marion currently has a water crisis so maybe brewing sweet tea is out of the question. They do have bottled drinks. The pulled pork and sauce alone make Marion Pit a 5 for me

So we came in on Friday the 17th of July. My wife and I with my Aunt and a cousin. I got the brisket plate not bad, but expected more than 4 paper thin slices of brisket and let me be clear money for the food I got not what I expected. The money is not the issue , but the family had sandwiches, and I left thinking wow what a disappointment. I have had lots of brisket and it was never like what I was served. So not sure if I would recommend this unless you just want a little snack. I grew up in Madisonville and try to shop and do stuff here, but next time will make the trip to Owensboro.

We were greeted immediately upon entrance and began ordering away . They have daily specials but I had to go for my favorite - brisket platter - and I was pleasantly surprised. Baked beans and accompanying potato salad were both solid. The brisket is served sauced which I found delicious but FYI for those customers looking for a more natural flavor, you'll have to request they hold the sauce. Brisket is sliced relatively thin but it was very tender, lightly smoked and full of flavor. Very casual atmosphere with great staff...a solid 5 stars!

There was no taste to them except for what they considered BBQ sauce. They looked like they had been boiled. The baked beans were definitely not homemade and more than likely were the cheapest brand out there with no additional seasoning, ie. Brown sugar which would have helped. The mashed potatoes had the appearance of powdered potatoes. Seriously probably the most disgusting meal I've ever eaten at a restaurant that claimed to be a BBQ establishment. Additionally, I had to wait 20 minutes to be served and I was one of three customers at the time I ordered.

The white beans were canned but seasoned up just right and the hoecake were a bit greasy but to me :) perfect!! Rick is the Pitmaster, Sherry will probably take your order and ring ya out. If. Not her it'll be Alma or Olean. And Gilbert is running around close by. There all family and when you walk into the small, 4 table, 16 seat dining room it sorta seems like your parta the family.
