    Best pit beef in the Severn, Odenton, Millersville, Gambrills, and WaughChapel area. Excellent beef, soft-fresh rolls, great condiments...

    Pit Beef Sandwich
    Khiem H.

    The service was quick and I got my food pretty quick. The portion is also really good for the price. The food however is nothing to write home about. The pit beef was cooked to the right temperature but lacks seasoning. The sausage was good but it's more like a hotdog texture. The place is very casual and has outside seating. I'd come back again and hopefully it'll be better next time.

    Mac and cheese

    I liked the price point but the quality of the food I don't feel was really worth it. The BBQ Beef sandwich seemed like it was not fresh and the pit beef was well done but they told me it would be more on the rare side. The Mac and cheese looked good but when tasting it tasted more like Kraft Mac and cheese. The service i thought was good service and as far as the ambience it was kind of dirty tables along the bbq sauce just sitting out in the open and not refrigerated at all.

    8 Pieces BBQ Chicken, ribs, potato salad, greens, Mac n cheese, baked beans

    Great BBQ!! The ribs were tender and were falling off the bone. The chicken was cooked just right. The BBQ sauce was savory! The baked beans are just!!! So good that I did the happy dance after first spoonful. We tried the greens, Mac n cheese, green and potato salad all were good as well. I love onSevern and I'm so glad that I found this spot. Great price point.

    5 hard fried hot wings, half of the 1/2 rack of ribs, & collard greens made w.ham and onions

    Driving by Expressway nearly ever day, we hadn't thought much about stopping since I'll be honest it doesn't look like much- but curiosity got the better of us and we decided to stop in to see what they were offering. Surprised to discover they had a plethora of sandwich offerings, side dishes, and various meat platters- I was instantly drooling, wanting to try it all. We opted for splitting: The Bulldog-hot spicy sausage wrapped in beef, cheese, and sauteed peppers- a very LARGE packed sandwich- thick pieces of meat, with warm, fresh, well sauteed peppers-a very bold flavor burst in each bite. A hearty eat! Definitely recommend using the horseradish topping. A quality sandwich, at an unbelievably low price for the amount of meat you get packed on top. Hot wings (fried hard)-I did specifically ask for wings fried hard- but either they didn't remember or their hard isn't as hard as other wing joints- so the wings weren't as crispy as I expected, but they were still delicious- ample smothered hot sauce, juicy insides-they were large pieces of chicken- I would order again, and see if maybe they do fry harder 1/2 rack of ribs-I asked for dry ribs, since I'm not the biggest BBQ lover-a half rack equated to 6 large ribs- they were very thick cut ribs, that was all meat-not fatty, not greasy, just well grilled meat- high quality taste or juicy meat Side of Mac & Cheese & Collard Greens-reasonable prices- nothing special, just your average sides. The collards are made with ham and onion chunks-nothing special-they actually tasted a bit watery compared to a hearty sauteed sauce flavor I'm familiar with from other places- I'd probably opt for a different side next time They also accidentally added a pit beef sandwich (because we asked for a Pulled Pork & they got it wrong)- I felt bad for the mistake, but was not sad-holy moly the sandwich was packed with meat! We ended using the bun for leftover pulled pork meat-and taking the meat off to put in salads for leftover lunches. Well, we ended up with 4 lunch meals from the quantity of meat on this one sandwich! I would definitely order this as a lunch option in the future, split it up, and have multiple meals. I don't typically crave bbq, but if I am ever in the mood this is definitely getting added as a go-to spot! Local hole in the walls continue to surprise and impress! Lesson learned, always try it yourself despite appearances!

    Items are hit or miss, when it hits it hits and when it misses it misses. Sometimes the meat can be dry, and sometimes the sides can be under salted. The mac n cheese is usually pretty good consistently solid, as is the turkey sandwich!

    As pit beef goes, this place is pretty good. Not the best joint and far from being the worst. I like the flavor of their sandwiches but they could be warmer. A lot of times they are cold. But the flavor and location always wins me over and I come back.

    Always had good food there. I like the pit turkey and the fries are just like the boardwalk in OC. Ribs are great also.

The menu noted that the price was 16.49. When the young man brought me my food, I asked him to let me speak to the manager as she was the person who took my order. She came over and asked what was the problem. I pointed out that the menu noted the dinner was $16.49 and she had charged me $19.99- which was $3.50 more. She asked where did the menu say this price. I showed her the overhead marquee and she responded that they have two and the wrong one was up. I didn't argue- although I could have. Instead I told her she might want to make sure she update the marquee if she wasn't going to honor the price. While there are a lot of young people who work here- the manager wasn't- thus her reply was not anchored in inexperience. I was disappointed that she didn't offer to make it right or acknowledge that it was their error. That's poor customer service. Usually service is good and the food tastes close enough to grandma's that it addresses the craving. Just check your receipt.

    We tried this place for lunch on a Wednesday since our daughter and son-in -law highly recommended…read moreit. We were simply amazed. We had the beef brisket and meatloaf sandwiches. FANTASTIC. Very fresh and they tasted great. The onion rings were greatly good along with excellent cole slaw and collard greens. All very fresh, tasty and in perfect sized portions. The service was also pretty fast but we were here doing a slow period. I assume on weekends when this place is busy you might wait a while. The minor drawbacks are: 1. The inside dining area is very small so this place must get crowded during busy periods. The outdoor seating area is covered but sort of lame and not very inviting. We dined inside which only seats about 20 or more. It wouldn't be comfortable in 90° plus weather outside 2. They have a gravel parking lot which is kind of awkward. It's also very difficult and dangerous making a left turn out of this place onto Central Avenue. Regardless, we will definitely be going back here because the food is just fantastic. Looking forward to next time.

    Cashier wasn't listening, forgot an entire part of the order. Constantly giving my teenage daughter…read moreweird looks and really just wouldn't listen. We had to order a plain burger and it was indeed not plain, sent it back and got an actual plain one. If you have an alternative child i really don't recommend coming here, they will be treated worse then a pedophile actively hitting on children, maybe even worse then someone waving around a conservative flag. Employees are genuine dickheads. Adding on to this - when i ate the burger from takeout, the bread was stale, the meat was hard to chew. The meat tasted like slim jims. If i was to stick a slim jim and start chewing on leather i would. But not everyone wants to go spend their money to go chew on leather and slim jims. that was the worse fucking burger i've ever had in my life and ive had some pretty shitty burgers. and ontop of that your service is fucking horrible and the ambiance is horrible. If you wanna have a good week PLEASE don't go here.

    I think I might have set my expectations a bit too high…read more Pulling up to the restaurant and seeing the massive amount of chopped fire wood, I was like this place is going to be off the hook. Upon entering, I thought it was an interesting setup because I assumed that this spot was a restaurant/(dive)bar. Turns out it is a restaurant in a liquor store...or maybe it's a liquor store in a restaurant. I'll admit that this misunderstanding was on me. Someone suggested the restaurant, and I did not do any follow-up research. Although the restaurant is connected to a liquor store, you cannot consume alcohol inside. But, I guess that was not a deal breaker because I was more interested in some good ol' BBQ. At the counter, I started to look over the menu because there were quite a lot of interesting items. They have a long list of various BBQ/meat items and a bunch of sides. For my dining pleasure, I went with the two meat (general BBQ and sausage), two sides combo (greens and mac n cheese), which was about 18 bucks. The price for the amount of food wasn't too bad. To be frank the food was not what I expected. Ok, the food was not horrible, but I think that I might have set my expectations too high. Normally, when I think of Texas BBQ, I think of meat that is slowly cooked so that it's very tender. The meat here seemed like it was cooked on a grill and mixed with BBQ sauce immediately prior to serving. To me, the meat was a bit tougher than what I have normally experienced in most BBQ restaurants. Perhaps, the restaurant was having a bit of an off day during our visit.

This was pulled off their sandwich menu for combos with fries and a sweet tea. Pit beef was on my list of things to eat in Maryland. I originally wanted to check out another spot, but it wasn't convenient location wise. My friend suggested this one instead. He was the driver so I said it was fine without thinking much of it. Realized later this isn't actually the pit beef I read about and wanted, but it's a decent spot for a meat sando. All our meals came with a soup which was yummy. Kinda like chicken noodle / dumpling soup. That was actually my fav thing here. The pit beef was more like a roast beef sandwich which was fine. I actually enjoyed the brisket more. The bonfire bbq they describe like a sloppy joe. Tho I thought it wasn't as saucy and messy. Not exactly what I was expecting sandwich wise, but I was nicely surprised by their complimentary soup.
