About the Pit

Texas BBQ the way it's always been done

Words from people who waited in line — and came back

"They have my favorite brisket because of its incredible tenderness, juiciness, flavor and super thin bark. The jalapeño sausage is fantastic and the turkey is incredibly tender. I also recommend the coleslaw — it's less sweet than other places and tastes fresh. The line can be long, but it moves quickly."
— Kevin Wang
"It's incredible to have a Michelin-recognized BBQ, and when you visit you can see it's well deserved. Everything is impeccable. I was impressed by the quality. If you want to understand what Texas BBQ means, go and be amazed."
— Rafael Ferreira
"The brisket was delicious and the jalapeño cheddar sausage was good. Staff were friendly, patient and professional throughout. Plenty of tables, both indoors and outside under cover. The meat was great — I'd recommend it and would go back."
— David Joseph
