John Mark IveyOctober 25, 2009So I got the chicken wings and substituted Bleu Cheese for Honey Mustard - A+. And the hush puppies were mighty good as well. Read more
Try a bloody Mary! Seems like they do there own Mary mix from scratch and it's delicious!
Anne WilkinsMarch 6, 2010Best fried chicken on the planet!! And, if you're a fan of collards...you're gonna love 'em!
Marty LinkMarch 6, 2014Not sure what was going on the night of March 5...must have been a conference...very crowded...but food was not good compared to previous visits
Travel ChannelNovember 7, 2011Don’t miss a whole-hog barbeque. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
This foodie favorite has even better beer choices! Check out the list!

The grouper is the best in the city. I know this is a bbq joint but try the grouper!
Sandra/Snad PhillipsJanuary 27, 2010I'm a vegetarian, but I'll eat at The Pit with my meat-eating friends because they are cool enough to have BBQ tofu!!!
Michael WilliamsDecember 9, 2011If you are looking for Ed and his food neither one are here. Bring Ed back!!
jimmy twobagsFebruary 5, 2011just dont order food w drinks food might beat that awesome 8 dollar pint out
BenJune 1, 2012High on atmosphere, low on substance. The beer selection is good, but the barbecue is just OK.
Get the chopped BBQ or the brisket. Probably the 2 best things on the menu.
Rob BennettMarch 1, 2010Dude. The fried chicken is auh-mazing. Can also vouch for the chopped barbeque pork.
Rob RobersonJanuary 30, 2011The sauce is the star my chopped BBQ is a little tough. That tells me It wasn't cooked long enough, and there isn't much smoke flavor on the meat.
Sonja FoustJanuary 17, 2010Carolina short ribs are legen--wait for it--dary! Get the short ribs and the BBQ baked beans.
AlisonDecember 28, 2010Baby back ribs. All day. Extra bonus: well-curated selection of local brewery options

"Love this place. Cool to learn the factory process and the chocolate is just so creamy and perfect. And their little coffee / chocolate bar and patio is always a fun place to hang out!"
Kaitlin - 9.0
"Great draft selection and solid - albeit sometimes emulated - vintage game selection. I'd imagine vintage cabinets cost lots o'cash. Either way, awesome 'brotime' spot."
Daniel Pisciottano - 8.7
"The Holy Mole Porter and the Rickshaw Rye IPA are a must!"
