The Pit Stop in Tifton, GA is easy to get to off I-75, exit 63B. It's clean, sturdy, and smells like good smoked meat. Our server Denise was helpful and friendly. She checked back on us several times, and recommended we stop back in on our way back to Florida. Spouse ordered the smoked pork chop lunch with mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread: it was all delicious, especially the chop! I ordered the pulled pork lunch with fries, squash casserole, and cornbread. My favorite sauce was the Sweet & Tangy: I used it on the pork as well as my fries. The squash was flavorful (yum) but I did pick out some of the breadcrumbs in order to get straight squash flavor--so good! Finally, I'm in love with their cornbread! When we do come back in our travels, I may just order cornbread and butter as my dessert! Highly recommend this place, and be sure to say hello to Server Denise (she said to call her that, as the owner is also named Denise! Fun! read more

Convenience and access from 75 wins this place some of its stars, the people and family story the others. While yes the food is better than fast food and it's nice to stop for a family lunch during a long drive at a place with lots of options, not sure we'll make this stop again. The chicken finger platter is a plate of concession stand chicken fingers, nothing special (or good). The ribs are dry while simultaneously wet but not in a rib winning competition way. Mac and cheese is on the menu so that pleased the younger crowd. Kids cheeses burger was a sad thing Pattie with unmelted cheese on top. Unfortunately, I kept getting bombarded by tiny flies during my meal that really distracted from the (indoor) dining experience. I'm not sure if it was the sodium or brain overthinking but left nauseous and ready for a cleanse - body and mind. read more

You know you're in a legit Southern restaurant when the Ranch dressing is served in a pitcher! And it tasted like it'd been made from scratch. This was for my salad that I had upgraded to as one of my sides and it came with a basket of captain wafers. My other side was the fries and these were coated and fairly crispy. My entree was the combo platter that came with a pickle spear, toast, and two meats. I chose the pork chop and ribs. The chop was flavorful and both meats were a good portion. The ribs were fork tender and came right off the bone. They had a rub on them, and I added sauce which was also good. They appear to have two varieties: sweet and sweet-and-tangy (the latter being my favorite). Service was good on this busy Sunday lunch and we never lacked for drink refills. It was the Sunday following Thanksgiving (i.e., lots of holiday travelers), but I could tell there were a lot of locals as well. We managed to snag a parking spot without issue, but there were many vehicles parked all along the road near the restaurant as testament to its popularity. Despite the crowd, we were seated with hardly any wait. Most of the wait was at the end of the meal since you pay at the front, not the waitress. They offer a mix of tables and booths for seating and a room has been added to the back which looks like it can be opened up as a covered patio in nice weather. And may also be what is used for bigger groups of patrons. read more

Everything was awful!! Even cake, box cake.. I would give this 0 stars but that wasn't an option!! I have eaten from East Coast to West and this is the worse meal bar none I have ever eaten!! read more

This old school restaurant served a healthy dose of community. I'll look for full parking lots and local recommendations - and this had both. The food was good, and the service was good. It's a great place to stop on a long road trip. read more

Ribs were fatty (not baby back ribs). Baked white fish was excellent. Music was eclectic and not too loud. Nothing fancy here. We like our bbq in Port Charlotte, FL, better. read more

Lunch specials better than fast food, but not amazing. Could make it better at home. Waitress monotone, abrupt. Food high in sodium I'm guessing from mouth burn. read more

I wanted to like this popular local BBQ place. Warm and friendly service. My first mistake was ordering a burger platter (I know, I know. It's a BBQ place) in a BBQ restaurant. I was told beef patty is cooked from frozen, so should not have been surprised that my burger came out well-done...barely edible. Yellow onion rather than thinly sliced Red Onion. Seasoned fries and BBQ beans were VG. Is fresh beef cooked to order too difficult? Disappointed no choice of draught beer...simply inexcusable in a BBQ restaurant. Booth seating was tired, past its sell date, and uncomfortable. I think I'm being too harsh but this was my first impression. I regularly travel thru Tifton GA. If I were to return, I'd stick with pork BBQ sandwich or platter. read more

Skip this one. It's a convenient stop on the interstate, but that's about it. BBQ ribs were dry and lacking flavor. Sides were uninspired. Service was ok. I'd keep looking. read more

Wonderful service ... southern hospitality! Food was good and quick service! We all got chopped pork and enjoyed it. read more

Oh my goodness! Don't miss this place if you are passing through Tifton, Ga. A family owned barbecue and steakhouse that hit the mark. My husband had the smoked pork chops and said they were the best he ever had. His sides or coleslaw and baked beans and said both were delicious. I had a 12 ounce ribeye, medium-rare, cooked perfectly. It came with a side salad and baked potato. Both entrées came with a nice piece of Texas toast and a slice of orange on the side. The side salad was amazing. See photo. First of all, it is huge. It's not your typical lettuce cheese, cucumber salad that most restaurants serve nowadays. It has egg slices, green pepper, black, olives, banana peppers, carrots, cheese, onion, croutons. They make their own ranch and 1,000 Island dressing. You don't even have to ask for additional dressing, they bring a big jug to your table. Our server was friendly and efficient. The desserts look delicious, but I was too full to indulge. You must stop here if you're traveling through. read more

Marshall provided awesome customer service. Very busy place with country charm. The food is about the same quality as corporate commercial barbecue. I was hoping for a personal country touch. Don't miss the dessert that was good. Just so you know the bowl of fruit is fruit cocktail from a can. read more

I ate a lot of cole slaw this weekend and this was by far the best. The staff were friendly and the space was appropriately decorated.

Great service by Tammy. Both of us had the pork which was excellent. We will stop again on the way to FL.

Really enjoyed the delicious chopped pork, potato salad, cucumber salad and sweet tea while soaking up the local ambience. Service was warm and friendly. Hope I pass this way again, soon. read more

I can't say enough good things. I stopped in on my way back from Florida and just as the other reviews, I was beyond pleased. I had my two dogs with me, so outdoor seating was the only option. The hostess was kind and understanding, and went over and above to assist me with getting my food to my table. She offered to bring a bowl of water for the dogs and she even helped me clean up, knowing I couldn't go back inside with the dogs. They were busy and it was the end of the night and not many places would've been as welcoming as they were to me. Customer service is everything and this experience was great. But it wasn't just the service that stood out, Food was excellent . Pork was flavorful and not fatty. Brunswick stew with some of the best I've ever had. Along with some perfectly cooked corn on the cob and some fresh sweet tea. The location is right off the highway so it's easy to get out without taking too much time away from the road trip. I've been missing all these years. I will be back! read more

Stopped here for a BBQ lunch because we moved to Florida and don't find much BBQ down there. We had a very good lunch and I enjoyed my chopped pork sandwich and my husband liked his 1/2 roasted chicken. My sandwich had a great heated bun that they filled with yummy chopped pork and they added fresh pickles on the side, also the sweet sauce was just right. The fries were hot and delicious as well. Oh, and we didn't forget the red velvet cake! All good - we enjoyed our lunch there. read more

Got a warm welcome from Abigail at the front desk of La Quinta Hotel. She accommodated us with some choices that worked best for us and our two dogs to be close to the side doors and doggie area. The room was very clean and amenities were awesome! When asked for a good recommendation for the best BBQ around she referred us to Pit Stop BBQ a local owned place where everything is homemade. Food was amazing! I highly recommend not LaQuinta Inn and Pit Stop if you travel to the Tifton, GA area. read more

Good bbq friendly servers. We eat there again. The deserts looked good but didn't try maybe next time.

We were greeted by the sweetest, friendliest hostess ever! I should've gotten her name...she's a definite asset to this establishment. The beef platter, however, didn't come close to the anticipation we had upon arrival. It has an off color (grey-green)and no flavor at all. After one bite, we gave up on it as inedible. The Brunswick stew and sides were good which made up for the beef. Our grand daughter had the chopped pork sandwich, which was good. A different hostess was up front when we left and she didn't offer any compensation for the beef when we mentioned the very poor quality. The restaurant has a homey, country feel that was welcome on the cool rainy day and we're saddened that the food was so below par considering the personnel and atmosphere, for which I gave the 2 stars.

Stopped in here on the way home to Florida and wanted to end our trip with really good BBQ. This is where we ended up and let me tell you, their pulled pork and their beef is scrumptious and mouthwatering. Their platters are huge and will feed more than one person. We both got drinks, he got the beef platter, I got the 2 meat with beef and pork, 2 sides (corn and potato logs for me, coleslaw and potato salad for him) There was.enough food to feed an army! Ok well enough food for me to give my extra to my guy. And he said he was stuffed I wish we'd tried the desserts,.as they looked amazing. read more

Just passing through the area and stopped by with our group. We had 24 people and this place didn't miss a beat! The staff was so friendly, fast and did a great job! They were very accommodating and the food was delicous! The prices were good, atmosphere was comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. Thanks for such a great lunch and experience. We loved the selection of cakes and funny T-shirts! read more

Stopped here on my way to Jacksonville and was thrilled to see a BBQ spot. We weee welcomed by the friendly staff and sat almost immediately. The restaurant was fairly full yet relatively quiet and relaxing. The food.... Well I was really disappointed which is really hard for me to be because I'm usually open to different tastes from different regions and cultures. Yet I was not satisfied at all. The wings were the only thing that were ok, the quarter chicken, corn and mash weren't really my thing, on the other hand my wife who NEVER likes anything actually loved all of it lol Our waitress Dana was super cool and helpful read more

We ordered takeout. The hostess was informative, and polite about their BBQ. Their BBQ was another story. I ordered the pulled pork and it was pretty much flavorless. The wings looked like they were pre boiled and dipped in sauce. I've never had a wing that was mushy, and fell off the bone when it was picked up! The baked beans and the Mac n cheese was good. Pretty much ate that and threw away the meat. read more

Overall the appearance and cleanliness was very nice, but our server was both slow and rude. I ordered the combo with smoked chicken (both tender and dry?) and smoked beef (toughest bbq beef of my life). Upgraded to the regional soup( forgot the name) and it was nothing more than a bad veggie beef soup. The one saving grace was that the chicken strips my daughter ordered were actually quite good. Wouldn't go back, especially after being charged $.99 each for 3 glasses of tap water. WHAT!?!? Complain to the hostess and she responded that they get the complaint all the time and the boss with won't listen or doesn't care. read more

Stopped here on the way back to Florida from Chicago. I ordered the bbq beef sandwich and it was good- beef was tasty, pickle chips were not sweet (I can't stand sweet pickles) and the roll was fine. Shared my husbands sides so I ate the cucumber salad which was crisp and not too sweet or vinegary. Husband got the half rack of ribs and they were good. He liked them more than I did- they were not fatty at all but I thought they didn't taste smoky so not my favorite. 3 sauces were on the table- hot, mild and sweet. They were all very good. Hot was just a little spicy not overpowering, and the sweet was not cloyingly sweet. He said the cole slaw was ok- he put bbq sauce on it which he said improved it! I was disappointed in the red velvet cake- frosting had no cream cheese flavor and it was a really small slice. Also they charge 99 cents for water! That's just wrong in my opinion. Service was good read more

We loved it! The food was delicious, with fall-off-the-bone ribs, flavorful pork sandwich, perfectly cooked corn-on-the-cob, and a cucumber salad that reminded me of my childhood. But even better than the great food was the incredible people working there. The service was outstanding and you can tell they really care about their customers. We'll be back for sure! read more

Food is awesome. Best barbecue and sides anywhere in the south. The strawberry cake is delicious. Don't pass it up.

Mushy over cooked ribs and a sickly sweet bbq sauce. The chicken was dry and the Mac and cheese cold. Only good things were price cold beer and some pretty good okra. read more

Stopped here for dinner while traveling. Staff was very nice and service was great. The ribs were barely warm which is a turnoff for me. I like my food served hot. The sides were just okay. The taste was pretty good but I have definitely had better. read more

Overall food was really good. Smoked meats but the smoky flavor was not too strong. Stew was great, slightly sweet. Ribs couldn't be cooked any better, perfectly seasoned, falling of the bones and super tender. Chicken was a bit dry but tasty. Beef was very good, not dry at all. Pulled pork was,... well, pulled pork. The sides: green beans was my favorite, which was surprising to myself. Baked beans was ok. Fried okra was moist yet crunchy on the outside. Coleslaw was ok; a bit too sauce heavy. Desert: The pecan cake was very good. I really liked it. The German chocolate cake was good. Fresh decaf coffee went perfectly with the cakes. Service was super. Fast and friendly. Highly recommended. read more
