We ordered: Flat burger - literally a flat burger.... um. Tasted basic, the smashed burger did not add anything. Just tasted like a leftover burger in my backpack I accidentally sat on while riding the bus home from middle school. Bombastic fries - fine, but a pretty small portion for the price. I liked the raw jalapenos Oreo shake - thick, tasty, fine. Overall, would probably not return.

The recent reviews…read moremade me decide to give it a try since it also said they had passed their inspection this year and meet the qualifications to operate. First definitely a lot of choices for burgers and side choices too, my eyes were all over the place and took a while to finally make up My mind. Customer service wasn't bad. I like the out door tables and the cozy indoor for dine in. Looks clean for how to place looks. It's definitely located in a getto area can't even enjoy the meal outside when you got a group of people in the parking lot blasting music and being obnoxious. Either than that for being in the getto area the food is pretty good and has a good taste quality as well. My food tastes fresh and didn't taste like it's been sitting there for a while. So definitely recommend to give it a try. Bathroom is hidden too and looks decently cleaned.

Second Visit -- Unfortunately My Last…read more This was my second time eating at The BarBQ Pit, and unfortunately it will probably be my last. Whenever I'm working in cities outside my hometown, I try to support local restaurants. Since I'm in Merced several days a week, I wanted to give this place a second try and see if my first experience might have just been an off day. First Visit (about three months ago): The service was excellent. The waitress was attentive, anticipated what I needed, and checked in regularly. I was seated quickly and everything ran smoothly. I ordered the BBQ sampler so I could try a little bit of everything. The waitress mentioned that the meats are smoked daily, which sounded promising. That said, the food itself was fairly average. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. The hot wings were completely middle-of-the-road. For the price point, the food felt mediocre. Second Visit: This visit unfortunately went worse. I was seated quickly again, but it took about 10 minutes before either of the two waitresses came to take my order. One waitress took my drink order, and later another came over to check on me. When I told her I was ready to order, she said the other waitress would come back to take it. That interaction felt a little strange since she was already there but wouldn't take the order herself. I ordered the hot wings again (same as before, just average) and a French Burger because I was curious what it was. It turned out to be a regular burger patty on a French roll with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Nothing particularly unique about it besides the bread. Unfortunately, that's where the experience went downhill. On two separate sections of the French roll, there was visible mold. At that point I completely lost my appetite and couldn't finish the meal. I don't know if the French rolls don't get used very often or if the bread turnover is slow, but either way this should have been caught before it reached a customer. Moldy bread should never make it out of the kitchen. To be fair, the waitresses themselves were very polite. Service was slower than I expected, but they were friendly. When I was leaving they even offered me a refill and a cup of iced tea to go, which was a thoughtful gesture. Unfortunately, being served moldy food is something I can't overlook. Because of that, I don't think I'll be returning.

Forget what you might know about your average Chili's. This location has fantastic food, great service (thanks, Crystal!), personable wait staff, and clean restrooms. Our visit was truly a perfect experience for a restaurant in this price point! Perhaps most surprising was the high quality of food and service, even though the restaurant was absolutely full and surprisingly busy because of multiple large parties celebrating high school graduations. My family and I were only passing through on a road trip. If we lived closer to this area, we would certainly return for regular visits.

However, after waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes, we checked back in and asked whether we could split into smaller tables since there were multiple open tables for groups of 4. We explained that we were completely fine being treated as separate groups, having separate checks, and ordering independently. Even with that flexibility, we were told no because their policy does not allow large parties who arrive together to be seated separately. What made it especially disappointing was seeing open tables available while our group was still left waiting. We were trying to be accommodating and come up with a solution, but it did not seem like there was any willingness to work with us. We were a group of adults just hoping to enjoy dinner and drinks together after work, and instead we ended up leaving frustrated. I would recommend choosing another place if you are planning to meet with coworkers or come with a larger group.
