The Mesquite Pit is a nice place to go for some Texas Food! The menu is pretty standard and to be expected for your typical Texas BBQ joint...meat, meat, and more meat. The servers are always friendly. The atmosphere is great for families. There is always a wait...which is a good thing! They smoke so many of their meats right there...it's so fun to see the smoke billowing out of the smoker nearly every day! read more

Mesquite Pit - Front of MP. - Barbeque Near Me - Weatherford, Texas

We went here today for lunch to celebrate my wife's birthday. We have eaten here before but it was about six years ago. There were just the two of us. She ordered filet mignon and I ordered fried catfish. Her filet was OK. It was cooked just right. Her plate also came with baked potato and roasted veggies on a skewer. The potato was good but the veggies were bland and not roasted very well. One of the pieces was the top with the skewer sticking through the stem. My catfish plate came with fries, coleslaw and a skewer of grilled shrimp. Everything was great except the coleslaw. It was kinda bland tasting and dry. I can recommend this place because our service was courteous, fast and the food was fresh and hot. read more

All I can say is go here and get the Texas Akaushi Ribeye. It seriously might be the best steak I've ever had. I got it medium rare, seasoning was perfect, and the meat had a buttery feel to it without the butter finish like other steak places. Overall, I highly recommend. read more

Great food and great service. No wait time. 3/4" Ribeye and chicken was wonderful. Highly recommend coming here. read more

The food was great! The service was spectacular and we felt right at home. The room felt warm and homy. We will definitely be back.

I had the sliced brisket and the food for me was basic barbecue nothing stood out that would make me want to go only here to get a certain dish. The ambience is old timey Western and the service was really great. Had a great waitress, the other staff were very nice also. I would go back to try other dishes. Sorry forgot to take pictures. read more

Came here while traveling base on Yelp review. We were there on Friday night so there was an expected wait. The waitress was great and the food was timely. My so. Had the 1 inch ribeye that was mouthwatering. Top 3 steaks in my experiences. I had the brisket. This is what TX is famous for. It was a big disappointment. Dry and chewy. Needed extra tea to get it down. The grilled asparagus and fried okra sides were good. The cole slaw was average. Finally the sweet tea needed more sugar. If I came here again I would go with the steak. $34 is a great price do a piece of meat that big. read more

Rustic local favorite in Weatherford. Eaten here many times and is always good. Good for just you and your honey or for larger groups. Steaks always prepared just right. The bacon wrapped filet is very tender and great taste. I like the Poblano Cheese Grits with my meals. Have had the ribs and brisket, can't go wrong there if feel like bbq. Never had dessert but bet bet what they have is good. read more

I'm new to the area and went for a steak dinner. they had such a crowded area standing outside waiting. so we stayed there thinking must be good! ordered our dinner and the first time I've ever had a steak so tender you could cut with a fork! The meal was excellent, the staff went above and beyond with service, the best I dare say that I've been to! read more

The food was ok, not the best but not the worst BBQ either. We waited a while once we were seated for our server to come get our drink order and it wasn't exceptionally busy. I was a little disappointed. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual western style decor; ideal for couples, friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was served quickly and was very flavorful. Really enjoyed the spud with brisket and the homemade blackberry cobbler. We were seated quickly, our particular server was not on her game but that didn't take away from the overall experience. Would rerun to try some other entrees. read more

This was such a great dinner! Down in Mesquite visiting my brother and they took us out here. The decor is awesome and homey. I loved the cabin-esque look of it all. The service was great! We didn't wait long for a party of 6 at about 4:30pm. My sweet tea was never empty. Now down to the food: The armadillo eggs were amazing! The ribs and sausage were outstanding especially the sausage. It was rich and peppery and it had a good snap. The only eh thing on the plate was the brisket. It was tender and well cooked, but the flavor was just not there. It tasted more like a dry pot roast than brisket. The barbecue sauce on the side was AMAZING. I absolutely love that they serve the sauce on the side everywhere I have been in Texas. We can't wait to come back! read more

Great happening spot for a drink and just relaxing. The service is excellent and very welcoming.

Love this place fair price for good food. Service is always great. Love the one in Weatherford

Food is decent but I don't crave going to eat there. It could be much better especially the bbq. The sweat tea is always delicious.

Stopped by while we were in Weatherford for a Easter event. Heard it was a great local place. Was there when they opened and it seemed like they were mostly busy with preorders. Waited maybe 30 minutes for a new order. Loved the fried okra. Solid chicken fried steak with generous sauce portions. Decent ribs and fries. Good place to stop and eat if you are traveling through the area. read more

Only bad thing I can mention is the lines and waiting. First time here. Food was excellent and plentiful. In house aged steak was perfectly cooked. Pit cooked ham was flavorful and moist. No complaints about the sides selection or quality. We'll definitely be returning. read more

I had the St. Louis style ribs with garlic mash & slaw. The ribs were OUTSTANDING! Great smoky flavor and fall-off-the-bone tender. The potatoes were good, the cole slaw got a little soupy at the bottom of the bowl. read more

Mesquite Pit - Ribs! - Barbeque Near Me - Weatherford, Texas

It's okay, nothing special and the wait staff is not friendly but that seems par for the course in these parts.

i'm sorry to say because we try so very hard to support local, but we've been here three times & it's just overpriced for the quality of food served. We can say on a positive note their chopped beef sandwich was ok. The waitstaff act like it's a chore you walked through the door. read more

We just finished our dining experience this evening... It was our anniversary dinner. We've always had a very pleasant time and fabulous meal anytime visiting there. However, tonight we almost turned and left. When we arrive the parking lot was heavily packed so we called to see what the wait time would be before we got out... Or should we go elsewhere? One of the front cashiers answered the phone and was so rude to us telling us she was way too busy to find out what the wait time was. We knew their host stand was maybe 6 feet away from her and she could've easily asked a crossed to her to give us an estimate. We wouldn't have held her to it, of course, but it would've been nice to give us a suggestion as to what to expect. She was completely rude and said there's no way she could help us. We almost drove off and went to another restaurant. But the sign on the front said "immediate seating" available. So we risked it and went inside. The hostess was more than friendly, and told us may be a 10 minute wait... You could see there were very few ahead of us...that was very reasonable and acceptable so we sat to wait. She actually got us in there at a table in maybe five minutes. Absolutely no complaints there and she was very friendly. Our waitress was lovely and handled everything in detail. It was our anniversary dinner of celebration. Upon check out there were two cashiers. Since we had no idea which one we've spoken with... We just waited our time in line. One of the cashiers was very friendly and asking everyone if they enjoyed their meals and have a nice time. Then we stepped up to the next one available and immediately heard her voice and knew it was the one who answered the phone. She had zero eye contact, and never said anything to us but the amount of the check. It was very uncomfortable. We paid and left quickly. So I highly praise their meals and the other staff has been fantastic as well. In case you ever happen to get that person, unwilling to even give you a guesstimation of what time your wait time may be... Disregard her and go on inside. Because they almost lost our business tonight. We hated to punish a good establishment or other quality staff due to one sour apple. read more

For the CFS there are other places here in Weatherford and Hudson Oaks that have better tasting and easy to cut/chew and flavored well. (Plus bigger )......just saying read more
