Mother and daughter day trip to the area. We took a chance and decided to try The Pitt for a late lunch. Wonderful and surprising exoerience. Small place with a big heart! The gentleman there was obviously a neighborhood treasure. Customer after customer came in and engaged in short but thoughtful banter. He was friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food was very good! The service was kind, thoughtful and genuine. The atmosphere was warm and homey. Definitely more of a take out or dine and go quick spot with limited seating. We had the pulled pork sandwich and brisket on a biscuit. You pay for the sides. Coleslaw was included. We got chocolate chip cookies to share. Pricey but delish! Parking was free and right in front. I have a feeling that parking may vary at different

My first time in today for lunch. Got a pulled chicken sandwich with fries to go…one of the best bbq sandwiches I’ve ever had!

★★★★★ 5.0 Reginald George · Dec 2025

I am great fan of this place. My family and I order food from here when we feel like having some pull pork, briskets or ribs. I normally order the ribs and chicken combo which comes with two sides. The ribs are flavorful. I also like their pull pork sandwich .I occasionally order their beef chili. The owner Bruno and staff Santos and Carlos are very friendly and nice! I will definitely recommend this place if you crave for some barbeque and you are in the Edgewater area.

The brisket was a little bit dry, but the chilli dog was really good. We also like their onion rings. Lemonade is a little bit water down, but it’s a giant drink.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sang P · Sep 2025

After much anticipation of wanting try this spot for years, my wife and I finally had the chance. Here is an honest review. Pros - Cole slaw and bbq sauce were on point. Very delicious. Unfortunately the pros end there. Cons - Brisket and pork ribs were both overcooked and dry. The meat itself is good quality but the way it was overcooked really left us disappointed. As for the sides, we got fries as one of them and I could almost count how many fries there were because there were so few. I understand it's a side but providing such a small amount of fries is laughable. Beans and corn were as it should be, nothing special and nothing wrong with it. Perhaps it was a slow or off day and we can give them the benefit of the doubt but in terms of this experience, we won't be going back anytim
