Service was great. Appetizer platter with a bit of everything armadillo eggs, onion rings and fried pickle spears was spot on. Wife had the special 3/4 pound ribeye and shrimp $32 was cooked the way she ordered it. I had the 3 meat bbq plate with sausage sliced brisket and ribs. Good taste to all the meats. Sausage was juicy not overdone. Good size plates. We will definitely be going back. read more

A great place to eat! The food was delicious and the steak was great!! We got right in with no wait.

One of the best country steak houses in the area. Food has generous portions and great appetizers. Probably the biggest and best steaks around. We love it here. read more

Mesquite Pit hosted my wedding rehearsal dinner. They were amazing! The food was amazing and came out quickly, despite our large party. They offer such a variety of foods, from bbq and seafood and hamburgers. Our server was the best: attentive and helpful. Thank you for all you did to make our night go by without any hiccups. Couldn't have picked a better place. read more

I've always had good service and the food has been tasty/the correct temperature/. I've enjoyed everything on the menu that I have tried.

Food was amazing! Service was really good too, especially considering we almost came in too late.

The CFS was a huge disappointment today. Overcooked. Definitely needed a steak knife to cut it. This is the second time to be served an overcooked, tough CFS in about six weeks. I ordered the second time because any place can have an off day. Oh well. No more CFS from here. There are definitely better options to enjoy a CFS.. I will stick with other menu choices at Mesquite Pit. Service was very good. read more

Love this place!! Locally owned and amazing food and people. I come here on special occasions, never disappointed.

consistently good food. great variable menu! Good service, nice atmosphere! Easy online ordering.

Decided to stop in for lunch while driving by. The outside decor suggests that it is a fancy restaurant. Inside it is Western style decor The tables are covered with red checkered vinyl tablecloths. It's a very popular restaurant, when we were leaving every table was taken and it is a fairly large restaurant. And most importantly the food was delicious. We both had steaks and they were done just to our liking. The service is also friendly and courteous. read more

Love this place. Great food and awesome steaks. Steaks are my favorite and they do them right!!! I will go back!!!

The food and service were great. Been here with clients several times and they never disappoint.

STAY AWAY! AVOID THIS PLACE! If only I could rate them less that zero. Mesquite Pit used to be one of my favorite places to go eat. I have been going there since about 1995. Last night, Sauturday 18 March 2023 I took my wife, our daughter,her husband and grandson there. As usual they were packed. But when we were finally seated our server had OBVIOUSLY never attended a food handling course. He did NOT write down the orders correctly. And when I asked to see the Manager, she did not care about any of the above. She simply told Me, its "how things are now" Well, after I paid the $91.00 bill for cold mediocre food I vowed to never return and write this solid review of how poor and far they have slipped! STAY AWAY!!! read more

Love thus place. I drive here at least once a month from ftw just to enjoy the best steakhouse. The service is always the best and so is the atmosphere. read more

Was excited to try this restaurant as there were lots of good reviews and we were looking for some good barbecue. Sadly, this was not good barbecue. The only pros were that they smoked with mesquite and served with a shiner bock. The meat was hopelessly overcooked to the point there was no flavor or tooth to it. Very little smoke flavor. The sauce was unremarkable. I would not waste my money on this barbecue again. read more

Hubby and I landed here on a Wednesday evening, but did not order from the Wednesday Specials menu. Hostess chatted with someone for quite some time before greeting us. I ordered loaded baked potato and it was good. Unfortunately, the place was full of small children and toddlers who screamed nonstop. Terrible experience for us. Will not be back. read more

We were in town for my Niece's wedding. Our hotel clerk recommended this restaurant. Loved it so much, I went twice! Great food! Great service! Great location. I actually bought some bbq sauce (which they don't normally sell) and brought it home. Yummy!! I highly recommend!! read more

Steaks are fantastic and excellent service. Grilled chicken is the best. Banana pudding is their best dessert

We come here alot! Always great food, service, price, and atmosphere. Always love to bring our out of town gets here.

My dinner looked so good when it came out that I honestly forgot to take a picture. I had the filet medium rare, a baked potato and asparagus. It was AWESOME. Not only was our food super good, but the service was fantastic. They were extremely busy, and we only had to wait 10-15 mins for a table. Our waiter, his name was Chris, was the best! Even after being slammed and running like crazy, he had a great personality and was laughing and smiling. He even told us about his first time eating here with his grandma years back. I ordered the turtle cheesecake for dessert and all i can say is YASSSSSS. We will 100% be back. read more

Best steak for the price! It's rare to find a place that still offers meal deals. If you are looking for quality food and great taste, gotta try Mesquite Pit. Service is on point every time we have visited. Staff is quick , attentive and patient with large parties. It's a bit of a drive but worth your time and money. read more

Amazing brisket and smoked sausage. The experience is excellent and a family favorite.

Everything on the menu is definitely delicious. The service is best it can be a-bit slow. They are Very busy and like all service companies UNDER STAFFED. No one wants to work these days. But it won't keep us away!!!!! Ambiance is just right for the type of food & Country like atmosphere. read more

I took my dad and husband to see the graves of Bose Ikard and Oliver Loving. They are huge Lonesome Dove fans and were really touched by the Texas historic markers and gravestones. We passed the Mesquite Pit on our way to the cemetery and decided to have dinner there when our visit was over. Boy am I glad we did. The food was great. I had the 3/4 in Rib Eye. Cooked medium rare as ordered. And my other diners had fried catfish and chicken fried chicken. The homemade rolls and cornbread really hit the spot. Our waitress was great. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was Texas through and though. We love support family owned restaurants. Please go. You will not be disappointed. read more

Moved to Willow Park in 96. Mesquite Pit was about the same as now. Good reliable food and service. Within 3 minutes of placing order salad and crackers are on table to quiet whiny kids of all ages. Nothing stands out as exemplary but everything I've tried from steak to BBQ, to grilled chicken has always been fresh, hot , and tasty. Give them a try. Think you'll like it. read more

Good food and very friendly people.I like the view inside of all the animals is very cool restaurant. Mesquite Grilled Shrimp Sliced Brisket read more

I wish I could say I've tried the menu but every time I come here I get a steak! Never has been cooked wrong and always flavorful, perfect sides like fried okra. Open atmosphere with lots of old antiques and animal stuffings, great place to bring the family and enjoy a meal. Service here can be a little slow at times but it's always worth the wait when it's cooked over an open flame! read more

Not the place for Texas steak. Did my research for nearby steak while traveling. Rated pretty good for steak and BBQ. Supper on a Wednesday night 730. Waitress was good/friendly, but over worked. Could have been more attentive but when larger tables came in after our 2 top she directed more attention to them than us. Typical. Don't ever underestimate the tip factor. ¾ inch Ribeye Medium was bottom end Medium rare. Asked for rib end and most aged cut in house if available. Got mid-section, no fat cap (over trimmed or lesser grade animal--probably later). Inner fat vein sparse between rib eye cap and petite ribeye. Parts of steak tender, other very tough and sinewy especially around untrimmed tail. Some of meat had very livery mineral taste. This means the animal may have been stressed or not bled properly at slaughter. Overall flavor not best, grain lot finished definitely not grass fed. Grilled vege skews looked nice but were basically raw. Probably on grill for less than 5 minutes low side no seasoning. House salad on its last legs of freshness and couple soft grape tomatoes were a bit gross. Blue cheese from jug, no house made here. Second entrée of salmon said to have been very tasty and grilled adequately. Got an overload of bread as waitress just kept shoveling baskets out with other orders and gave no thought to our table needs. Drinks not refilled timely as later larger tables taken care of first. She even had help and I had to ask manager/helper for service once they were finished with others service. They had to pass our table, saw tea glasses on edge as sign of need and by passed us nether-the-less. Very rushed traffic from after when we came in, but nothing seemed attended to at our table. When dropped off check, not told needed to pay up front, so waited a while until we flagged her down and she told us otherwise. By 830 they were turning people away that wanted to come in. Don't get it. Disappointed, was hoping to get good Texas beef like I had grown up on but this I'm sure came from the Midwest. Nothing special or really enjoyable. Had better at Texas Roadhouse and Logan's for about same price. Service and food here rates lower overall. read more

Mesquite Pit - 3/4 " Ribeye, Salmon, vege skewers - Barbeque Near Me - Weatherford, Texas

The service was great. The people were friendly, and the place was clean. However this food was oily, greasy, and not very good. The brisket was tough. We weren't able to add the chicken to the meat platter. The ribs were decent. read more

Terrific choice! We've been travelling across the west for 3 months and looking forward to having some BBQ in Texas when we got there. After looking around, we went on some errands and found Mesquite BBQ in Weatherford, ordered online to take home (because we had our dog with us and it was 95 outside). Ordered brisket, ribs, and sausage (my wife loves sausage). We had 6 sides to choice from for our orders so we got: mashed potatoes, coleslaw, green beans, cowboy beans, another coleslaw and potato salad. The brisket was moist and delicious. The ribs were good, but one was moist and one was chewy. Oh, the sauce they give was yummy! The sausage was fantastic. Potato salad was a bit too thin, but tasty. The slaw was good....not bad, not good...could've used a bit more "snap". All in all, a very good choice for food. read more

Bad Service!! For the price the food was definitely not all that!!! They try and rush you In and out like a bunch of cattle

I rarely give 5 stars but I think my visit here actually warrants it. Saturday night 7 p.m., people waiting outside, and yet we still had a table within 15 minutes. Our server Marcus was amazing. When I say amazing I don't just mean that he was friendly and attentive, he actually was a wealth of information regarding the menu and the city itself (we just moved here). Food came out hot and delicious and was better than we expected. I had the sliced brisket, my daughter had a baked potato stuffed with chopped beef, and Ron had some amazing burger. Prices are reasonable making this place a really great value. We all went home with leftovers. We talked it all off with French silk pie, bread pudding, and blackberry cobbler. I tried all three and my favorite was the bread pudding. If you stop by, you should definitely ask for Marcus as your server. He anticipated our needs and was on top of everything. Aveda great recommendations and answered all of our questions. read more

Favorite steak place in Weatherford! Both filets and Ribeyes on point. Have also had chicken fried steak here twice- Amazing! My go to place in Weatherford! Have not tried BBQ yet- But will update when I do. read more

The Pit has great BBQ and a loyal local following. We don't make a habit of eating there because we are old and on heart healthy diets. But, it is a great place for good old fashioned home cooking on cheat days! read more

Was expecting killer BBQ after reading the reviews but was let down. Not bad stuff...just not anything to rave about. Wife and I dropped by for lunch and she got the lean brisket with 2 sides and I got the lean brisket sandwich with fries. Opt for the un-lean brisket if you want un-dried out brisket. read more
