Stopped by on our way to the beach and this didn't disappoint! It was the best pit pork I've had. I had the Smokin' Spuds. Definitely worth the extra 10 drive for local goodness. read more

Service was awesome, but the menu was limited. I ordered fried fish. That was delicious. Absolutely perfect. For my sides, I ordered collards, Mac and baked beans. I knew looking at the Mac that I wasn't going to like it, and I was right. Hubs wouldn't even try it. The collards had no taste. The baked beans weren't bad at all, but I'm not sure what the meat was in them... Maybe ground beef? That kind of threw me off. I'd prefer brisket or sausage. I'd give them a second chance tho, hence the 4 stars! read more

Nice bbq find in Dover, DE. This was a random pick on the run. The gentleman taking our order was friendly and explained the menu and allowed us to sample some menu items. That's great because it helped me make a decision. The ribs sampled were a little bit too salty for me. However, the chopped chicken I ordered was pretty good and I enjoyed the baked beans and collard greens. There's tables for outdoor seating and ample parking. read more

I would love to leave a review, but sadly we stopped twice, and left without some BBQ. First time, they were closed catering a private event, and the second time they ran out of brisket for the day (at 4pm). read more

Food was awesome. The lunch size was kind of small, but it was delicious. They really need support.

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!! read more

Pit Daddy's is that spot. The kind of place you dream about after one bite.. and then keep coming back because it's just that good. We've tried a lot of BBQ, and nothing else around even comes close. The pulled pork sandwich is always loaded, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. Their mac and cheese is ridiculously creamy. And don't sleep on the baked beans.. they've got this sweet, smoky thing going on that's totally addicting. You can tell everything is made with real love and attention. It's casual, it's fast, and the portions are generous. Every time we go, the food is consistent and the service is kind. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or taking a tray home for dinner, it always hits the spot. A hidden gem in Smyrna, and a must if you're anywhere nearby. read more

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!! read more

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!! read more

We're from NJ and were just passing by, saw the place and smelt the place, had to stop!! They were sold out of some items which to us is a good sign. We ended up getting 3 meat sampler: pulled pork, chopped chicken, and brisket. With a side of Mac and cheese, baked beans, and cole slaw. Fresh and Delicious!!!! The pulled pork and chopped chicken were my favorite, and baked beans!!!! Everything else was still very delicious. Glad we noticed the place! The staff was super friendly and brought the food out to our car. Thank you!!!!!!!! read more

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. read more

Pit Daddy's BBQ - Beef brisket platter with collards and Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Smyrna, Delaware

Great spot for BBQ in Smyrna, Dover area. I love the loaded baked potato, and the loaded nachos.

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! read more

I tried the pulled pork on Wednesday with coleslaw on the side. It was fantastic, just like the woman who took my order said it was. The service was fast and area was clean and just like I expected a pit boss who knows barbecue. I am from Philly and we had some great ones there before I left like Rib Crib and Big Jim's barbecue. I will definitely be back and spread the word!! read more

DELICIOUS!!!!!!I had the chicken and lemon jasmine rice bowl and the pulled pork and mac and cheese. Both meals were absolutely delicious 10/10. You get a lot for the price. The service was 10/10. I will be going back to try other meals. read more

Me and my family were looking for a quick bite to eat, and this place was wonderful! Kind and personal staff, short wait times, and good food! There are some clean wooden benches with umbrellas that are nice to eat on! read more

I'm lucky to have found this little gem. Amazing food and staff!! I've had the pulled chicken and pulled pork from here and it was delicious, and the greens were phenomenal! Service here is spot on and you can tell that the lady at the window enjoys her days at work. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, even bringing your food to the car for you when it is finished. Definitely will be returning again, and again and again read more

Let me just tell you! This place has a five star for a reason! Those cowboy baked beans AMAZING, pulled pork AMAZING, Mac and cheese AMAZING! I genuinely think pit daddy's bbq is close to if not the best bbq in Kent County! The gentleman always taking my order is super nice! I want to say he's the owner but I could be wrong! But he's a very nice man always smiling! The one thing I wish they had would be indoor seating! I think if they expanded and made a place where you could eat inside and at the place itself would make it 10x better! If you're passing through the Big Oak area south of smyrna I 100% recommend stopping by if they're open! read more

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. read more

Today was my first time trying Pit Daddys BBQ and I will definitely be back. I was hoping to try their Brisket, but it wasn't on the menu today. Instead I got the BBQ chicken which was wonderful and came with a drumstick and thigh for $6.00. They were perfectly seasoned and had a nice wood smoke flavor. Lovely. I also tried the Pulled Pork Platter which came with your meat and 2 sides. I chose the mac and cheese and collards and passed on the bun since I got pasta. The mac and cheese was perfect and the noodles weren't overcooked like most places do. Also their collards had a nice black pepper kick and a generous helping of bacon...yum The pork was nice and I appreciated that they served the sauce on the side, but the chicken was the winner today. The patter was $14.00 so in total I spent $20.00 but there was enough food for my husband and I to share. I can't wait to go back and try the brisket. Thank you for sharing your wonderful product. read more

This new business is cooking up some serious BBQ in Smyrna. The menu changes daily so call first to see what's available. Also get there early because they tend to sell out. Not a bad thing I say. My wife and I had a half chicken platter with mac and cheese and potato salad which didn't last long once we got home. Every thing was very good, but the chicken was the star, hands down. Best BBQ chicken I've had in quite some time. read more

The food here is wonderful! The pulled pork is moist with a good balance of smoky and sweet. The coleslaw honors the flavor of cabbage by using only a light sauce and the baked beans are an excellent combination of ground meat and beans. Wish I lived closer! read more

AYOOOOO his FOOD SMACKS 10/10 the baked beans better than ya Mamas chicken is well seasoned and potatos is dum fire

Happen to stop by while driving back home from Dover. We've seen cars there before but weren't sure what the building was. We drove up and got a menu figured we'd give it a try. All I can say is we were so impressed... everything was delicious!! The pasta salad is the best I've ever had. The mac and cheese is true homemade mac and cheese with thick cheese like mama used to make. And the pulled pork sandwhich with that sauce?? Out of this world! I highly recommend Pit Daddy... 5 stars all day!! We will be repeat customers for sure!! read more

Stopped here on a drive from Ocean City Maryland to Boston. Amazing place. The BBQ was generous portion and on par with what I've had in North Carolina (my favorite place for BBQ). What especially stood out were the sides and the attention to detail that they got. Hands down the best baked beans I've ever had. Hands down the best collard greens I've ever had. Last but not least, the owner served us and is a super nice, authentic guy. read more

Pulled pork was juicy and flavorful. It didn't even need bbq sauce. The collared greens were delicious! The mac n cheese was creamy and not dried out. They even walked out order out to our car for us since it was so cold and windy out. Will definitely hit this place up anytime we are in the area. If I could give it 6 stars I would! read more

Absolutely one of the best kept secrets. Excellent service and extremely professional attitude and welcoming demeanor. The owner brought my food out personally. Packaged perfectly for my small trip back to Dover. I recommend this place. read more

Impromptu day trip to the beach brought us to the area and we stumbled onto Pit Daddy's for the first time. It WILL NOT be the last. CJ (Owner and Pit master) is a magician of the meats! We got his pulled pork and brisket sandwich platters with the baked beans and the Mac and cheese. (Shhhh don't tell my husband but CJs is now my favorite for the cheesy noodle goodness). We will see you next time we are in the area sir!! read more

Driving down to VA from NJ and wanted to stop somewhere other than fast food so just looked around in the area on google maps. This popped up and the pictures looked good. Safe to say the best pulled pork sandwich my husband and I have ever had in our life. Collards were great too! Staff and owner were so nice. We will be stopping on our way back home to try more!! read more

Pit daddy was really nice and the food was excellent! We recommend the Mac and cheese and brisket.

We stopped in as we were traveling from Connecticut to Ocean City, Md. We ordered Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Baked Beans and Collard Greens. They were all very flavorful and delicious. It is definitely a hidden gem in this area and well worth a visit. Enjoy! read more

This little bbq shack is right off of route 13, sitting back a little from the road. It doesn't look like much so I wasn't expecting to be impressed by the food but man was I wrong. I've never had such amazing bbq. The sides were just as good, if not better than the meat! When we went there was only one guy working (I assume the owner) and he personally ran food out to cars and served our lunch right to us at the picnic table out back. With such great service and amazing food, I'll definitely be taking the trip down to Smyrna the next time I'm in the mood for some great bbq! read more
