    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!!

    Beef brisket platter with collards and Mac and cheese

    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.

We then overheard her tell another table that she was waiting for the cook to come so he could make her espresso martini bc the waitress could not do it due to her disability. After waiting another 20 minutes with no inquiry about if we wanted food, i asked the other patrons if we heard the waitress right that she was waiting for the cook. They explained the espresso machine issue and then said that they also ordered bagels an hour prior and were still waiting so the cook must not be there at all. The waitress never said anything to us about food, the cook, etc. We decided to leave cash for our drinks and leave and went to a different restaurant. The host/waitress was sweet and seemed to be by herself, doing the best she could. I'm sad bc this restaurant used to be amazing, we probably will never be back.

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.

I had requested the sugar-free syrup which was brought with my meal, but never have I received pancakes without a side of butter. Unfortunately, the waitress dropped and ran so fast, that I didn't get a chance to ask. I waited a few minutes for a waitress to pass, but along with others, we waited, and nobody came by. When I finally tried my pancakes, they were rubbery and hard to cut. I hate a lot of syrup, but it did help to get the food down. think I finished one of the two pancakes, but it was very lackluster and left me wanting something better.
