| - The delicious smell of smoky goodness hits you hard as soon as you open the door. Food was great, portions were humongous and service was friendly. However, a tad confusing set-up for a newbie, which I'll explain later.
My husband and I each got the two meats with two sides combo for $14 each. Between the two of us, we got to sample the sliced brisket, baby back ribs, St. Louis ribs, mac and cheese, cole slaw, yams and onion rings. The meats were delicious! While the sides were just average. The meats were incredibly moist with a dry rub on them that made them so flavorful alone, not to mention the strong, distinct smoke flavor. If that wasn't enough flavor, they had an array of sauces: regular bbq sauce, sweet sauce, tangy sauce, spicy bbq sauce and their hot sauce. I enjoyed all the sauces and can't really pick a favorite.
The space is pretty small with six tables and a counter in the back (and that's where you order). The night my husband and I came here, all the tables were taken, which they had a few chairs to the side for the folks waiting. A thing to note: don't expect someone to come wait on you; you have to walk up to the counter and put your order in. That's the mistake another couple who got there before us did and they unfortunately ended up getting seated and waited on after us. We ultimately gave up our table to them. What Smoq Pit needs is a sign that says "order here" or something at the counter. Or the workers just need to address everyone in the restaurant.
I would definitely come back for barbecue. However, next time, I will probably skip the sides and just order the meats.
