| - DISAPPOINTED!
Saturday afternoon was my third visit to this restaurant. The first trip was the best, 2nd was OK, and this last visit was a disappointment. We were looking forward to having BBQ for an early Saturday dinner after going to a spring training game in Peoria. We get there and about 4 different people told us they would be with us in a minute. Once we were finally seated by a teenager who didn't seem to know how to interact with people, (for example she laid out silverware in front of our 14 month old), for anyone reading this who is wait staff, DON'T DO THAT!
Anyway, we looked at the menu and knew what we wanted since we had been before. I got the Pork n Slaw sandwich with mashed potatoes, my husband got the 3 meat combo, brisket, pork and ribs, with slaw and fries and we ordered mac n cheese for our little one. Once the food came out, I was annoyed to say the least. The mac and cheese, (which was $4.50), was KRAFT MAC N CHEESE out of a box that I have never served my child (I make my own!). So the waitress comes back and I ask, um, what is this? Don't you have homemade mac n cheese, and she responds with, Um normally but we ran out. Mind you it was 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon, how does a BBQ joint run out of mac n cheese before Saturday night even starts???
My sandwich was OK, not as good as it was the time before. The seem to skimp on the slaw. The mashed potatoes were not good. Gravy was way too salty for my taste. My husbands food was OK as well. The ribs were good, pork was good, brisket was tough. The fries seemed over seasoned (too salty) and the slaw was good. They have too many sides. If they would focus on what they are good at making, that would be better.
Any-who, for a restaurant that was featured on food network, I would expect more. Maybe they have gotten cocky and are letting things slip. Who knows. I just know the wait staff is mediocre at best. We have had the same waitress every-time, and she gets worse every-time! That will be our last visit to Thee Pitts Again. We will resume going to our favorite local BBQ joint, Joe's BBQ in Gilbert. The line is out the door and they never run out of anything!
