    Some of the best briscut i have ever had. The smokey habanero bbq sauce has just the right right touch of heat if your a fan of spice. Great sides too, the southern greens were fantastic. Service was great, as was the conversation with the proprietor Chuck. Can't wait to get back this summer to try out the huge porch.

    My search for good BBQ in the Cleveland area brought me to this hard to find "house" in Amherst. The actual smoked BBQ had potential - if only they'd concentrate on that. I saw the smoker. I saw the piles of wood. So where was the smoke ring and flavor? I ordered the BBQ Platter - which included small samples of ribs, pork, wings, sausage, and brisket. Bread, sides, etc. is not included. The brisket was good (although no smoke ring whatsoever, and sliced paper thin), and the wings were excellent. Although not exactly "jumbo" as listed (more like the size of BW3), they had a good bark, and smoke flavor. Their sauces were very good. Not exactly traditional BBQ sauce, they were basically wing sauces ... ie. Garlic Parm, Honey Bourbon, Buffalo Hot. Unfortunately, that's where the good ended. The ribs tasted like they were oven baked, the [mashed potato scoop of] pork had no trace of bark, and the sausage was basically pre-cooked grocery store Kielbasa warmed on a flat top. Their biggest issue was the service. The servers were absolutely awesome, but it took about 40 min to get a single carry out order with small samples of 5 supposedly smoked meats only. Granted, the dining room was full (approx. 20 ppl), but that's inexcusable. If they're really serving true smoked BBQ, it should be cut/chopped/pulled fresh in a couple minutes. The only reason it would take that long, is if it all needed to be reheated or cooked to order (which you can't do with real BBQ). The actual smoked meat was good, but it seems like they're spreading themselves too thin by offering many non-BBQ choices. Concentrate on the BBQ, and this place could be a winner.

    What a hidden gem! Closest thing to Texas BBQ that we have found around here. We got the family fest and it was worth every penny. The meat was delicious, sauces were on point and the sides were icing on the cake!

    Great place tucked away in the city of Amherst, in the old stone village. They have a full Bbq menu, including kids. The price isn't bad and it's great when considering the food. The people are friendly and interesting. First time we ate here there was a bartender that treated the wait staff very badly, but he is gone (owner very pro active in making it a great atmosphere for customers and employees, meet the owner at another event and that's when we gave it a second chance, been back many times). Props have to go to the current bartender he does a great job helping with the to go orders (we get to go often). Just added a breakfast menu, haven't been here yet for that but we will try it. Hoping to make it here when the village is open, I think it will be a great outing.

    This place just opened in July, and I've been there 4 times already and planning to go back again and again. Fantastic brisket! We usually order the family platter and it is easily enough for 4. You get brisket, wings, ribs, pulled pork and sausage plus 4 sides for $40. You can't beat it. All the food is excellent, I the brisket is my favorite. Staff is friendly the atmosphere is quiet. I don't post many reviews or get excited about food places often, but the Pit is my new favorite place!

    This is the first review but I am not being generous. The brisket was very good. There are a variety of BBQ sauces to choose from. Mine was Honey Bourbon. Tasty. We had onion rings for an appetizer that were very good as well. The Shrimp Dinner had 10 butterflied shrimp deep fried to perfection. They have many sides to choose from as well. We all chose fresh cut fries which were actually wedges. The cornbread was a bit dry. Worth a try.

    Always fantastic! Loaded pulled pork fries will be on the menu in my version of Heaven. My picky 4 year old loves the chunky cinnamon applesauce. Nachos are excellent, brisket, chicken, variety of sauce, pie...OH MY...I could go on and on about the pie. I had a peanut butter, chocolate, salted caramel pie with a meringue top...YES people, all that is in one pie ...and it tastes as ridiculously good as it sounds! LOVE this place, I try to make it a point to go once a week. Can't wait to try the breakfast!! :)

    My Boyfriend and I stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. We ordered their smoked wings with the garlic sauce for an appetizer. Which were surprisingly pretty good. He had the brisket sandwich and I had the slider trio. So I got to sample the brisket, chicken and pork. All three were good but the pork was the best. Was a lot of food, so took quite a bit home. Service was excellent, decor cute and cozy. They have a small bar in front with dining room in back. It's in a house remolded into restaurant. There's also a big deck and patio seating available for warmer months. Overall, a very nice place. Would go again.

    No. If this is the best barbecue you've ever eaten, you need to go somewhere that has good barbecue. It is not the equivalent of a Texas barbecue. The first clue was that you couldn't smell the smoke in the parking lot. The meat was clearly reheated, the sides tasted like they were out of cans or frozen food boxes. However, the portions were big, the sauces were decent, and the cornbread was good. If you could figure out what day they actually cook the meat and go then, you might have a better experience. The location was fine, but the interior smelled like a combination of mildew and skunks. We sat on the porch, and a neighbor's dog came up to hang out. The employees didn't care, and when I tried to shoo it from our table it snapped at me. So... Yeah. Also, no alcohol sales on Sunday.
