Great food and the girl at the register knew her stuff. She recommended allot of different plates - she was great. I wish I caught her name... kinda young girl but she knew her stuff. I'm sad to say though - one of the girls with long nails shouldn't be playing with her hair while handling food... she kept touching and running her fingers through her hair while behind the counter. Other than that the food is great!!!!! Place was clean and tables were fully stocked - very nice restaurant. :) read more

Great food, I loved the pork and brisket Great fast and friendly service. Nice down home ambiance and clean bathrooms. Best place for bbq in this area to my knowledge. There's a big old bbq smoker or cooker or whatever you call it behind the building being manned at all times so you know it's legit. BBQ is yummy, you want some, so go get ittttttt! read more

I'll always miss the prior establishment here, but since they left, The Barbeque Pit is a good replacement. The restaurant has been nicely remodeled, and the menu is good. The Mac and Cheese is particularly tasty. It would be nice if they had burgers on the menu also, but I can always find something good to eat here. read more

Stopped for a late lunch. The place was clean and nice inside with plenty of seating. Ordered the brisket, potato salad and beans. The beans are good and are a bit spicy. A nice surprise. Potato salad was good but nothing special. The brisket is good, a few bites were a little salty from the crust. Over all the brisket was good. The bar-b-q sauce, original and spicy, was good. The spicy wasn't as spicy as the side of beans. Service At the time of day we went was quick and friendly. Good barbecue for the area. read more

The Barbeque Pit - Brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - San Jose, California

Omg! I have been waiting for some quality bbq from the silicon valley area! We were treated by my mom to this place and they did not disappoint. As much as I enjoy Jackie's pulled pork and smoking pig bbq this place has it all. The ribs, pulled pork, and the brisket is smoked to perfection. The bbq sauce is tangy and also you may get a spicy version that is not too hot. The garlic bread and Mac and cheese were good. However, the cornbread was just ok. The meats were outstanding and pretty much making this the best bbq for what silicon valley has to offer. If you want smoked tender and juicy meat this place blew me away. I felt as if I was at Reno's bbq cookoff! read more

I've driven by this place a bunch of times and never noticed this spot. It looks pretty minimal. I went ahead and ordered a pulled pork sandwich and was surprised. Bread is 5/5 stars. Most bbq places have a harder or dry bun with bbq meat. The bun is great alone. You'll still need to add sauce to the pile of pulled pork meat. There's a self serve sauce station by the front. read more

BBQ Pit is a local BBQ join in Southern San Jose. It has been around since 2024. We were nearby and gave it a try. 4.2 on Yelp. Typical wide ranging menu. The Food was solid, not exceptional. Brisket was excellent. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: 2 Meat Combo ($26) Brisket was really well done, moist and tender. Ribs were good but not fall off bones great. Garlic bread is average. Beans have a slight kick. 8/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - Maybe read more

The Tri tip was tough and too salty. Beans were bland and not cooked enough. Cornbread was flat, greasy and weird tasting. It's tasted like Texas toast mixed with cornbread. Potato salad had no flavor. The only thing that was ok was the coleslaw. read more

Food was really good, big portions. The three stars because customer service. We ate at the restaurant and for the most part, service was great. At the end my husband asked for big one bag and one small bag and the lady at the counter was giving him a hard time for asking for two bags and only wanted to give him one. We were with my in laws and they also needed a bag, and it was the first time a restaurant gave us a hard time for an extra bag.... Esp after spending over $150 for 4 adults and 2 young kids. read more

This spot took over the old Burger Pit, and the noticeable changes were made up of new furniture, updated floors, and even a merch section. They've got a solid selection of kids' meals and an artisan soda fountain, which is a nice touch. I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich, and what really made it stand out were the pickled onions, cucumber slices, and jalapeños--a great balance of flavors. While I'm not a beer drinker, they have a unique selection of beers on tap for those who are into craft brews. read more

Absolutely love their barbecue! We were so happy to find that they took over the former restaurant and made it their own. We were familiar with South Winchester barbecue so when we walked in and saw the menu, we knew we were in for great things. We have literally had every meat option they offer and they are some of the best ribs that we've had at the Bay Area. The brisket is good, the tri-tip is excellent, the chicken... We enjoy most of their sides. Sometimes we just get a pound of pulled pork and a loaf of garlic bread and make our own sandwiches. We love that they support our local high school, Pioneer! They are our go to for barbecue whether you've eaten or takeout. We call in our order and it's always ready quickly. The service is great! We love when we walk in to see all the booths full people having a great time. Wonderful ambience for a barbecue place. read more

We went for my nephews birthday in a weekend. Luckily we went early because it was a popular place. We found a spot outside that would accommodate 8 of us as the tables inside were already taken. You order first and then they deliver the food to your table. The inside was decorated barn style and was large and charming. Food was pretty good. I have to say that it is the best in San Jose for now. I do give it a plus for the brisket and Mac and cheese. We also got a second order of cornbread. Overall: if you are looking for a good bbq place, this is a good one read more

I found this BBQ restaurant in Gilroy and wow -- what a place! The meats were incredibly juicy and full of flavor. Every bite tasted like it had been slow-smoked to perfection, with just the right balance of seasoning and tenderness. You can tell they take pride in what they serve here. The variety of flavors really stood out -- from savory and smoky to just the right amount of sweet and spicy. On top of the food, the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. If you're in Gilroy and craving real, flavorful BBQ with great service, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. read more

Always a pleasure to come down to BBQ Pit: we enjoy the food, environment, and the staff are so great at being helpful, service within good time, and with great recommendations for new pies. YUM!! My husband and I started at South Winchester BBQ and always had such a great experience, and always the best BBQ. It was as sometimes a trek to get there from the Bernal area. When we found out that the same partners opened up another location near Almaden - we were super jazzed. Sammy and Fatima are excellent at what they do, and all the cooks in the back - thank you as well!!! Cheers to you all. I swear; BEST BBQ SAN JOSE. read more

I typically go there for the Breakfast Tacos. My Dad and I are kinda addicted to them. You can get Pork, Tri-tip, or Brisket. AMAZING!!!

TBP definitely has its pluses as a bbq spot. The service is nice the esthetics are lovely for a bbq spot. Like typical bbq spots you walk in order pick your seat make sure you grab a number. We ordered two meat hot sausage and burnt ends with mac and potato salad. Also a chicken half and a lbs of burnt ends. The chicken was moist cooked to temp and had a good flavors. The hot link sausage was delicious not certain if it's made in house. The potatoes salad was def a star creamy seasoned smooth. It would pair great with any bbq. The Mac and cheese wasn't bad and if definitely didn't taste like Kraft boxed mac and cheese. I wished it had more cheese and was baked though. It basically cava noodles with a good béchamel sauce. Now to the main reason they good 3 and not four stars. Their burnt ends the tenderness of the meat was spot on. A good ratio of meat and fat. What bothered me was the sauce it lived in. That bbq was on every bite you couldn't escape it even if u tried. The issue is when you site bbq sauce in an oven or warmer for long period of time that sauce evaporates more on more and what's evaporating it's moisture. So what's left if your sauce is salty it salt but if it's sweet then That sweetness becomes bolder. It damn near tasted like candied burnt ends. Yes I tried the bbq sauce on the table also and in my opinion it's the same sauce just more condensed. My suggestion would be to decreasing the sugar in the sauce used in their burnt ends. Overall have mostly positive aspect of TBP. I'm not sure about the cornbread there was something about it that had me thinking. read more

I just wanted to add that I went to their Grand Opening party on February 2, and it was amazing. I finally got to try the burnt ends (since they are usually gone by dinnertime), and they were amongst the best I have ever had. Very tender and flavorful! I also thought it was really nice how they were doing free breakfast tacos in the morning and free lunches for anyone who came at 11. I've been back here a few times and have really enjoyed my meals each time. read more

Sooo happy to have a local barbecue spot that has amazing food, and beyond friendly service! I was super excited knowing that BBQ Pit is related to Trail Dust BBQ in Morgan Hill. Many times when we were in the mood for good BBQ we would drive down there for it. Now, we can save the gas... lol ;) We hit the jackpot and happened to visit on the Grand Opening day this past Sunday and were lucky enough to be treated to free lunch! The restaurant had such a fun vibe. Nothing more fun than watching people sampling free beer tastes and enjoying free food. ;) There was a hype man handing out raffle tickets and getting everyone excited for the special occasion. Our orders were taken quickly at the front register and my in-laws orders arrived 5 minutes later! Good to remember that a lot of the food is cooked ahead if you ever need a fast lunch. The food was amazing! My father in law raved about his ribs and it made me wish I had ordered that too. My mother in law loved her pulled pork sando as well. But the true showstopper was the Santa Maria salad. The pieces of steak were cooked to perfection and had such great flavor I really can't describe through words. Not pictured is the surprisingly delicious cornbread side. It was sliced like bread and had just the right amount of crisp. I would go back just for the cornbread tbh. We will for sure be stopping into BBQ Pit regularly after football games at Pioneer High School. Thank you so much for the meals on the house. I know your restaurant will be a hit spot before too long once the word gets out! read more

It was my first time going here and I absolutely loved it! I went around lunch time and service was really quick. The tri-tip was really moist and tender; I loved it paired with the refreshing coleslaw and creamy mac and cheese. The pulled pork had a nice smokiness and minimal fat. It must be dipped in one of the sauces for optimal flavors! The brisket was super fatty and juicy-- very tender and enjoyable! The burnt ends were probably the hit of the afternoon. The sauce is this sweet glaze over really soft meat... would definitely order again. One note.. my family has been here during dinner time and the cut of the meat isn't as good... (they ran out of burnt ends by evening which was a bummer!) Would recommend this place for LUNCH, not so much dinner. Delicious food-- if you're craving barbeque this is the place!!! read more

This was the best brisket I ever tasted in my dam life it's worth every penny and the service was off the charts And the place was spotless I highly recommend this restaurant the ribs are amazing the potato with brisket was off charts I highly recommended it Quería agradecer a todos los cocineros detrás muy amable y también quiero agradecerles a todos trabajadores por su buen servicio read more

We tried this place twice. We loved everything we tried. In all I tried the pulled pork, cole slaw, beans, potato salad, and baked potato. All so good. My husband had the ribs and brisket and sister had the BBQ chicken and both were pleased with the food. We will go back again for sure. We are so happy to have this great food option in our area. read more

Incredible BBQ cooked to perfection with the right flavoring BEFORE you even put on any of the amazing sauces; just perfect and massive ribs! Staff was really friendly and had a vibe that they loved working there and satisfying their customers, some who seemed to become friends. Good selection of beers on tap as well. Nice indoor seating and some outdoor shaded parts too which is great with the nice weather we have read more

Read the article in the newspaper a few months ago and been wanting to try this place out. Called in a take out order in for 10 people for later in the day. The service is friendly, efficient and professional. They offered to include plates and utensils, which is a nice touch. She also provided input on if it was too much or too little food. We basically ordered 5 lbs of meat (1/2 lb per person) and 4 pints of sides and garlic bread. The food was the right amount with some leftovers. The meats are the best part - ribs (SO GOOD, falls of the bones) as well as the tri tip and brisket - all of it tender, moist and smoky. Everyone commented how delicious the meat. The beans and mac and cheese sides surprisingly had a little bite/spice to them. I'm not sure why. It was ok, not anyone's favorites. The garlic bread are basically french rolls, so for a full loaf, we received 3 of these french rolls. Its tasty, though could benefit from more toasting. Overall it was very tasty with friendly service. Will come back! read more

Sammy and the crew at BBQ Pit always deliver amazing food with great customer service.

Called ahead and had my order ready upon arrival. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating. Ordered 2 lb tri tip and 1 lb brisket came out to a little over $100 after tax. Perfectly cooked and season. I usually love brisket over tri tip but I really enjoyed their tri trip here. Can't wait to come back a try their things on their menu. Will bring the family next time! Great place to order for gatherings! Yes always a hit. read more

The Barbeque Pit - Very good brisket BBQ and excellent sides of mac n cheese, coleslaw, and garlic bread. - Barbeque Near Me - San Jose, California

We ordered take-out and did not dine in. This was our first meal here and we're excited to try it out. My rating would be 2.5 stars if I could rate that way. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with spicy bbq sauce, Tri-tip, and ribs. Sides were coleslaw, beans, Mac n cheese, garlic bread, and corn bread. We wanted to love this, but it landed being just OK. Would we go back? Maybe- would order the tri-tip again and maybe try some other items. Tri-tip: good. I would recommended ordering this. Kiddo liked it, too. Moist, tender, overall good. Ribs: OK. They were tough. Taste was OK but meat was dry and chewy. Would not order again if this is their ribs. The pulled pork with spicy bbq sauce: pulled pork OK, sauce was a pass. Something just tasted off about it. It was very smokey at first then the bbq sauce tasted like it was trying to be sweet & spicy but the balance was off. I'm not sure if the bread was maybe too toasted. I tried the meat alone with a fork and it was a little better than with the bread. I'd maybe consider trying the pork again with a difference sauce. Coleslaw: OK. Cabbage is crunchy. It's not goopy, you can taste the cabbage. It did taste fresh but seemed like something was missing from it. Cornbread: Pass. Dense, sliced like toast and then toasted. Parts were over toasted. Mac n Cheese: Pass. Tasted more like Alfredo sauce. Beans: Pass. I'm not sure how to describe them really. Beans seemed a little undercooked. Had a slightly bitter taste. Even husband can't describe them but we both agree pass. Garlic bread: no review because it was missing from our bag. Given the other good reviews I'm guessing it was maybe one of those "off days". read more

I tend to CRAVE their BBQ. I work in Gilroy, so last night I ordered it through door dash and dinner would be done when I got there. BBQ Chicken Sandwich - On door dash, it asks you if you want grilled bread or garlic grilled bread. YES PLEASE!! I got it with a bag of BBQ chips. I was sad to see that beans were not a choice for the sides. I knew from my last visit that this sandwich reheats VERY well. So I saved it for lunch today. OK, I could not wait and just finished half for breakfast. Kids Meal - BBQ Chicken and a slice of cornbread. I ate a portion of the chicken. Still have at least 2 more meals to go. I ordered this with potato salad, to much celery for me (but I really really hate celery). Once again I wished the beans could have been a side to pick from. Beans - I ordered the 5oz size. I wish I would have gotten a lot more! I ate that little portion before I took anything else out of the bag. I might have licked the container if my dog wasn't watching me scarf it all down. read more

The Barbeque Pit - Barbeque Near Me - San Jose, California

I think the challenge, those of us went to the Burger Pit have certain expectations/memories of this spot. This is obviously a totally different place/menu/options. I found the food okay but if you are craving BBQ saucy-ness, this is your place. I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was fine, tad dry. Fries were not my favorite style of fries. They have some good sauces you can add to your dish, so that's nice. The knock on stars is the comfort level and seating options. The booths are weird - there is not even space on either side of the benches and the benches are much lower than the table making it an awkward dining experience. I think we were still there early and more options were to be added to the menu. There weren't a lot of tables to sit at overall, so plan accordingly. read more

This used to the be the old Burger Pit, which they have turned into a BBQ place. The decor and atmosphere is very low key, and family oriented. I had the two meat plate with pork ribs brisket, potato salad and cole slaw. The ribs were tender with a good smoke flavor. The brisket could have been fatter, but was tender as well. The potato salad had good flavor, but the cole slaw was bland. The wife had a pulled pork sandwich and Mac-n-cheese. Her pork was tender and smoky and her Mac-N-Cheese was pretty good. All in all, the restaurant was good and I will be back to try the tri-tip and other menu items. Finally, the price was good for the amount and quality of food we got. read more

Since our other go to barbecue place went out of business, decided to try this place. They have a pretty good menu with lots of choices. Service was good. Everybody seemed friendly. The restaurant has indoor outdoor seating and has a homey feel. I tried the brisket, burnt ends, and a bunch of different sides. The beans and potato salad are good. I enjoyed the barbecue, but my kids were not fans because it's a little bit on the peppery side. I like the barbecue sauce. Will probably try it again and try different things on the menu. read more

This used to be some old run down smelly place called the Burger Pit. The place used to smell like cigarettes, urine on the carpets and road kill. But now under new management or owners. It made a complete 360 turn around and the place looks great. Inside and out. Me and my buddy decided to Yelp them out. I ordered the Boneless Rib sandwich with potato salad and soda. My friend ordered the burnt ends with some chili beans and some garlic toast. Over all food was good. The rib sandwich had a couple of bone fragments or cartlidge still left so I had to be careful munching on it with my teeth. The potato salad tasted a little old not fresh. The burnt ends had too much BQ sauce and the chili beans tasted ok. Nothing spectacular but well cooked. 4 star for this review. Could they do better? Yes. Does it need a little QC? Yes. I will be back and do recommend it for those looking for different places They are competition to Armadillo Willy's and Dave's BQ and BQ 152 in Gilroy. read more

Had lunch here today with a friend. This spot used to be the burger pit. They did some upgrades on the inside, which looks great. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich with mac n cheese. The tri-tip was cooked perfectly and was really tender and flavorful. The sandwich bread was fresh and delicious. The Mac n cheese was very comforting and full of flavor. I could tell it was homemade. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I'm looking forward to trying their ribs next time. read more
