The Magnolia Pit

Tried something different for lunch today and truly enjoyed it. Large portions of food. Very friendly service from all the workers we encountered. They gave recommendations with it being our first time. They checked on us throughout our dining experience. Small, cozy restaurant setting. Food came out hot and seasoned well. Will definitely be back for the brisket sandwich & beignets.

The people who gave the 2 star reviews.. they seem to be a tad too picky like my kids. The atmosphere is great, the food is 9.5 out of 10, and I was served quickly with a smile. The quantity of the portions was awesome for the price, especially in this economy. So if your reading this if you are looking for a place to eat when searching barbeque like inside, try this place. Their collard greens are fire and their meat fantastic.

Found this today when I read about the Shreveport 318 Food Fest going on this week. We were in Shreveport for a doctors appointment and interested in having BBQ for lunch. I found this one among the recommended restaurants. It had the highest rating at 4.7 /5 so we decided to try it. WOW, from the moment we walked in the environment was so cool and unique! We were greeted by Christy who went over the menu and answered our every question. It is the first time in my husband and my experience that every single thing we ordered was fabulous from the brisket, ribs and sausage to the potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans and fried okra. Even the bread (cheese jalapeño bread I think) and BBQ sauces were delicious. The portion sizes were generous enough to bring home for supper. Will definit

I'm a tough critic when it comes to BBQ, but The Magnolia Pit has left me speechless. This isn't just "good" BBQ, this is next-level. The brisket is, hands down, the best in the city. No contest. The smoke ring was beautiful, and the flavor from the bark was incredible. It's clear they put serious time and passion into their craft. Mine was a little fatty for my personal preference (I asked for extra lean but I'm not sure if that's an option), but the flavor was so out-of-this-world good that it didn't even matter. And the SIDES! They are honestly the best. The potato salad is awesome and has a great spicy kick, and the coleslaw has a nice kick to it, too. The whole place has a super original atmosphere and vibe. I also really appreciated that they have bottled water as an option, which

New spot, not even a year old, and I can't count how many times I've been here. It's absolutely delicious. My only complaint is the beef ribs. I ordered beef ribs last Friday (only available on Fridays) I was there when the doors opened at 11am for lunch and 1 of my ribs were extremely dry, to the point we're it was too hard to eat. That was the 2nd time that had happened. But other than that, it's a great spot if you want good bbq. Their dining room is a bit small, but I always order to go, so that isn't an issue for me. ***UPDATE*** BASIC BARBECUE SPOT NOW. THEY GOT RID OF ALL THE STUFF THAT MADE THEM STANDOUT. THEY GOT RID OF THE SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS. They started adding any meat they had available to the beans where before it was just brisket. If you don't eat pork, you can't have th
