RecommendedI love this place, hands down best bbq in San Diego. The barbecue sauce was made in heaven.... So many options. The fries alone are to die for. The quality of the food is slow roasted, but served in a very timely manner. My last meal would be eaten here. 💯💯💯
I had the BBQ ham sandwich and it just took me back in time! Delightful! Love their BBQ sauce.
In my opinion better than Phil's
Order the fries extra crispy.
The food is delicious having lunch.
Lots of old people here. That's okay though because I dislike eating at places with those young hooligans that listen to their dubstep music
Get beans and fries for your sides and dip the fries in the beans. Soo good!
Good Ribs and a bag of bones for dogs
Tasty! The Barbecue Pit has been around for a long time. I have visited this place many times. The ribs are great and the portions are huge. I especially like the pork ribs the sauce is very tasty. I recommend this place to everyone.
