I thought I had carefully planned my lunch visit to the Smoke Pit so I would arrive right after they opened and avoid a line. Other folks had the same idea. After eating lunch I understood the popularity of this unique restaurant.
First off, the dining area is clean. It looks clean and smells clean and nicely decorated in an appropriate theme for the type of restaurant it is. They have a health grade of 97 posted.
The cashier was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans to go. There was a short wait to receive my food. The sandwich with one side was $10.95. My sandwich was heaping with an abundance perfectly seasoned beef brisket. It was flavorful but the smoke and seasoning didn't overpower the taste. The baked beans were seasoned with the light taste of barbecue sauce and little pulled was added for flavor.
I look forward to trying this place again! I didn't get to sample their desserts that looked really good. Next visit I know to come early and come hungry.
