I had not heard much about this restaurant, so figured we should check it out since we are new to the area. We started with soup and chili. My wife got the cream of crab and it was very good…needed a touch more Old Bay for our tastes, but that’s a preference and our server provided us with a container so we could add some. I got their chili which is made with brisket and pork. I thought it was pretty good, but a bit sweet for my taste and lacking any kind of heat (spicy heat, not temperature). I could see how some people would like it, though, just wasn’t my thing.

Food is decent. Not spectacular, but fairly good. We have given it several chances over the years, but something always disappoints us. In the past, it was a $1 surcharge for a slice of cheese or needing to ask for sugar packets. While both have since been fixed, there are still issues that keep us from returning or recommending it.

The ambience was good, a cozy sports bar. Our pizza was fantastic. The brisket sandwich and green beans were OK, not great. Out of 7 or 8 beee taps, 5 were low end domestics, a nicer beer selection. Would have been a plus.

Best brisket hands down! Smoked overnight and done right with a great selection of sauces done in-house.

I have given this bar many chances. I have been let down everytime. The food is sub par at best. If you are not a friend of the family you will not get served. Tonight was the last time i will attempt to spend my money there. I sat at a hi top table in the bar for 20 minutes with no service. It was trivia night and there were 15 customers at best in the restaurant. I stand up to leave and walk to the door. Hostess asked how my dining was. I said very well and went on my way. My 3 sons was much better. Hopefully there will be a new venue in this location soon.

My husband ordered a pit beef sandwich and it was raw. I ask the waitress if he could have one well done and she said it was all like that. No offer for something else. He did not eat the sandwich so it was wasted. Won’t go back!!☹️

Let me start by saying the first 7-8 visits to the Pit were great. My wife and I would visit every 2-3 weeks. It all started going down hill from there. We were in the back room several weeks ago with other patrons on a Friday night when the Pit allowed a party of about 30 to take over the back room. It was so loud we couldn’t even talk. We had to scream for our waitress to hear us. We ate so fast just to get out of there. It was our first bad experience there. I called management the next day. Management could care less. With that said we took some time off from our visits to the Pit. On Friday 11/6/15 my wife and I decided to give the Pit another shot. After all, the first several visits were great and it has been years since anything good has been in Jarrettsville at this spot. My wife and I ordered brisket platters. Half way through the brisket I bit on some bone. I might have damaged a tooth, not sure at this point. I pointed this out to the waitress ( showed her the bone ) , she joked about how she worked for a dentist. The waitress stated that she mentioned to management. Know one followed up with us. Once again I guess management could care less. My wife and I really thought the Pit was going to be a winner. Poor customer service from management looks like will due the Pit in. I don’t believe we will be back. Sad.

I stopped in on a friends recommendation, she told me that the best food is served before 3 pm, if the red head isn’t cooking come back another day. I had a small garden salad that was plated beautifully, the vegetables were fresh and crisp but the salad dressing is obviously from a bottle not house made. I had the pit turkey, bacon and ranch wrap, the turkey was moist and the bacon was hot and crispy, it was delicious and plentiful, it was angle cut with each half standing up so I could see the inside of the wrap, they definitely didn’t skimp on the turkey and it was served with chips and a large pickle spear.

I try to get to the Pit at least once a month, food is great. My favorite is the pulled pork and there Cease Salad dressing is excellent! If you like potato salad, give it a shot I’m picky and it’s just the way I like it! If you have an appetite bring a friend and try their Tour of the South! You probably won’t finish it.
