There is plenty of parking and a decent amount of seating. I love how it looks like it was previously a garage. Inside was clean and seemed like a casual sort of place.

All of it tasted great and I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try more of their menu!

The mac and cheese had a nice flavor, but the cheese sauce wasn't melted well. It sort of clumped off the pasta. The baked beans (not pictured) were my favorite part of the meal. It was on the sweeter side, which I enjoyed with the savory meats. Sadly, their bbq sauces were too vinegary. Service was pretty quick for take out (we arrived when it opened on a Saturday). The Pit Stop is a decent American bbq joint, but I would not come back and don't recommend it.

We appreciated the high-quality, thick-cut meats, particularly the pork belly, picanha steaks (a Brazilian cut), and Jumuluc (marinated beef). The staff provided friendly, exceptional service, and the restaurant boasts a clean, spacious, and modern atmosphere. The AYCE menu also includes steamed egg, soybean soup, and other side dishes.

Inside, there's plenty of seating and the ambiance can be described as rustic, family-friendly, and comfortable. It's great for big groups and a casual reasonably priced lunch outing. The service was quick and ordering was easy. It was perfect for me to pick up lunch while I was on break. I ordered the chicken platter with baked beans and mac n cheese. The chicken was cooked to perfection and paired well with the sides. Everything was flavorful and authentic & the portion was reasonable for the price. This place is definitely worthy of diners, drive-ins, and dives. It's in my top 5 BBQ places.

There's no fussing about or pretentious gussied-up-ness with this roadside stand that sits in the Shell gas station lot. Talked to the owner a little bit, and he told me about his bbq technique and how he loves to do it. This is how they do it in the South, and I'm glad it's here right around the corner. PS - I never go to Red,Hot & Blue and Famous Dave's. Having lived in South Carolina for a summer, I'd like to think I have a good handle on what real good barbecue is, and those chains aren't it.

It's been several months since I last had a chance to grab some food here. So I hop in my car,…read moredrove a good 20+ miles to satiate my hankering for bbq and boy have things changed. Last I was here, they had a little tent that was at the mercy wind. Now, there's a nice truck to keep them out of the weather. Also, instead of dripping sauce in my car like before, I can now eat at a couple of new high tables and seats next to the truck. Fantastic improvements from before. The best part is of course is the menu. I noticed some new items have been added to it. That menu really does change from week to week and that's keeps me coming back. I had the dry rub ribs which were phenomenal when you dip it in their sauce which was sweet and vinegary at the same time. Not dry but crisp outside and moist inside. I also tried the beef rib which was new and I really enjoyed it. They serve a single beef rib that's so big it won't even fit in the damn container. Tender, juicy, and has that fantastic wood grill smell to it. Crispy exterior but inside is very moist. Very tender and cuts easily. If you get this, don't bother getting anything else. It's a whole lotta lotta meat. Then top everything off with their delicious baked beans that comes with the order. It may seem pricey but for the quality and quantity, this is a great deal compared to other locations found within the walls of a restaurant. This is how I've imagined roadside bbq should be and I'm not disappointed. This place is just worth every mile of that 20 I travel to get here. And I'll gladly travel it any weekend just to see what DD BBQ has has up on its marker board next.

The brisket was on the thinly sliced side but was quite moist and seasoned well. Some of the slices I got were straight fat however. How there was still a surprisingly good portion of decent brisket for what you paid for. The sausage was good and about average for a bbq spot. Collard green and chili mac were fairly decent. The corn bread was a very big portion but very dry and hard. Staff were very kind and efficient in making our plates. Overall a fairly priced BBQ spot with a slightly above average portion to cost ratio. Food(50%): 6.6 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 6.9/10

The bbq has all of the standard sides and meats that were so so yummy, especially the pork belly. The bbq items came out what felt like minutes after we came back with filled plates from the appetizer bar. Only thing we wish was different was that we got the sushi after the kbbq and we were pretty full by the time it came out.

We were instantly greeted at the door and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get a table. From there, we decided to go for the triple combo of AYCE sushi, hot pot, and KBBQ. The best choice! We began by ordering sushi and items for our hot pot - all were incredibly fresh and tasty. I particularly loved the Szechuan broth - which I made sure to ask them to make vegetarian (be sure to ask beforehand as some broths are made with pork). From there, we fired up the grill with brisket, bulgogi, and, my favorite, the garlic shrimp! Everything was so juicy and paired perfectly with the sauce bar items we chose. I particularly loved the crab rangoons and kimchi as some fun sides! The restaurant is very spacious and is great for groups or eating with a friend. I appreciated how attentive and accommodating each server was. In my opinion, this is one of the best KBBQ spots in town! Definitely worth the visit.

Staff members were super friendly, checking in with us multiple times throughout our stay and interacting with our toddler. On top of this, the staff used their downtime between customers (we were having lunch at an atypical time) to keep the bathroom amazingly clean.

But the food itself was honestly disappointing. The BBQ tasted bland, dry, and nowhere near worth the prices they charge. For a place that talks so much about authentic American BBQ, military pride, veterans, patriotism, and all the "support our heroes" branding, I expected way better food. Instead it felt like the atmosphere and marketing mattered more than what was actually on the plate. The military and first responder theme is everywhere, but after a while it starts feeling more like a marketing gimmick than a restaurant focused on quality BBQ. Even online, a lot of people seem to say the same thing -- overpriced food, average BBQ, and too much forced patriotic branding. If the food matched the hype, maybe it would make sense. Right now it just feels expensive for very average BBQ.
