    Pulled pork, chicken, brisket, mac and cheese ($18)
    Ellis R.

    4.5 is my rating. 1. Great bang for the buck! 2. Friendly customer service. 3. Delicious BBQ. The portions are hefty. I prefer the pulled pork and chopped chicken. I have to try some other sides. However, I can vouch for their mac and cheese lol. I think this place is a gem and worth trying.

    Chipped chicken sandwich platter and Mac and cheese for both sides.

    Decided to stop by during our drive home up Coastal Highway 1 -- and it was well worth the pit stop. From hot dogs and nachos to traditional BBQ sandwiches and platters, everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back our next time through!!

    BBQ Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Baked Beans.

    Amazing BBQ!! Got the Ribs, chopped chicken sandwich, baked beans and Mac 'N' Cheese. Ribs had a whole bunch of meat and were very moist. Didn't feel like I was eating on a damn toothpick rib which is always awesome. Portions were also great and was very full after. They were unfortunately out of all the brisket and pretty much all the pulled pork which tells you how popular this place is. He did have about a 1/4 portion of pulled pork left which I mentioned I did really want try since I was just passing through. He was kind enough to not only let me have the small portion but also not charge me for it. Additionally the hospitality was amazing, such a nice and friendly staff. Next time I am passing through I'll be sure to stop in. Thanks again!!

    An absolute gem! Some of the best Q I've ever had in my life! The brisket rivaled what I have had in Texas, and the pork was as good as any in Carolina. I really cannot express how delicious and flavorful and juicy and just perfect everything was. If you are driving to / from anywhere in the northeast to / from the Delaware beaches or Ocean City MD, you MUST go here!

    Brisket sandwich with creamy Mac n cheese and collard greens that were not too watery.

    Excellent BBQ! Walk up window. Staff (believe we were served by Janay) was very friendly and courteous plus knowledgeable about the menu. Had multiple items. Loved the beef brisket and how lean it was (and I'm picky!). Everything was packaged nicely. Nothing leaked. Utensils and napkins provided. Will definitely be back!!! Don't pass this place up. You can tell this place has some hardworking people that take pride in what they do. It is worth the stop even if you're driving through. It was easy to get to with plenty of parking (RV PEOPLE - plenty of room to park and pull out!). They also take credit cards and weren't hassling you for a tip at the end of the transaction, which is a turn off for me. I gladly gave them a cash tip. Try this place - you won't regret it!!

    Incredible! Hidden gem in Smyrna -- amazing food! Incredible service. Nice spot just off of Route 13. They have an outside area to sit with umbrellas. We got the brisket, pulled pork, collards, Mac & cheese and baked beans. NO NOTES! Everything is jumpin! We will definitely be going back.

    Authentic and delicious bbq. Best pasta salad I've ever had! When we saw pit bbq we knew we had to stop here for late lunch and were not disappointed! First of all, the guys here work hard and are the nicest and most welcoming. And then the food is quality, great portions and lip-smacking good. Sad but not surprised they were sold out of brisket so we got some awesome pulled pork. Juicy, not too smoky. I loved the coleslaw and sauce on the slider sandwich. The mac n cheese had a nice sharp cheese flavor and was not dry. The pasta salad!! Perfectly cooked tri color pasta that just soaks up the vinegary Italian dressing and pairs perfectly with the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Really hit the spot on a hot day. We will definitely be back to visit!

    The food arrived warm smoked ribs, chicken, and those delicious baked beans you name it!  All food was on point.

    The smoked meats are delicious and the owner, Charles is a warm and a great approachable person. Charles also caters our barbecues when we have our barbecue for the local veterans and also vets coming in from New Jersey.

I ordered food to go the last two times I was there, one night and the sign said they had a burger special, but I was told they were sold out of the burger special but I could buy a burger at regular price off the menu... I thought that was strange. The next time I checked the website and noticed they had wings on special that day. I ordered in person, but, I was told the wings were only available at that price during happy hour. The sign they had posted showed that it was all day. She then said the special was only available for dine in. Needless to say, we haven't been back for a couple months.

So, we just sat and waited for the food. But at the same time we looked at each other and said..."You can't even smell any food cooking!" Bruh, we gave everything away to some homeless folks. I hope they enjoyed it. I'm giving them two stars bc they were nice. But um, neither of them were Black/Jamaican. I wish them well.

    Capriotti's in Smyrna knows how to do a cheesesteak right. I ordered mine with onions, peppers, and…read moreprovolone, and from the first bite it was clear this wasn't just a quick sandwich -- it was carefully crafted. The steak was juicy, tender, and well-seasoned without being overly salty, and every bite had that satisfying balance of meat and cheese. The provolone melted beautifully, coating the steak in a rich, slightly sharp creaminess. The peppers and onions were sautéed just enough to bring out their sweetness while still keeping a little bite, which added great texture and contrast. And the roll deserves a shout-out too -- soft and fresh on the inside, with just enough chew to hold everything together without falling apart. On top of the food, the service was warm and efficient, making the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. Capriotti's has definitely mastered the art of the cheesesteak, and this location proves why they're such a beloved name.

The locations are dirty, the sandwiches have hardly any product, but the people are always very nice.

The Smyrna location looked worse than the Middletown location but both need help.

Hubby's birthday and he wanted to stay local due to many home projects we had going on. This place has been a permanent fixture in the area for years. Our first time. Located on the corner of a small strip mall offset by the Wawa, bank & Walgreens. It features live music, karaoke and sports on 7 TV's. My husband got the cowboy sirloin which was a good quality cut and cooked as requested. It came with onion rings and choice of two sides. He had a bourbon & club ($10) for a beverage. I had the French onion soup which was decent but a hunk of French bread was overwhelming in it. Got the loaded potato skins. They were decent perhaps a bit overdone but not a deal breaker. I'm sure they are from a food service. For dessert we got the overloaded brownie & ice cream. That too was decent. Food overall was good. There's 16 tables, some high tops and bar seating as well. The place started to fill after 6pm. Sadie was our server. She ran the bar and along with one other waited tables. She was a no nonsense professional, albeit pleasant. My husband left her a $20 tip on a $59 bill. My husband would definitely eat here again. I like a nicer ambiance with my meal. But like I have said not a deal breaker!
