Smoky Pitts Barbecue

HOLY SMOKES YAL (pun intended)!!! This is by far the best BBQ I have had yet in hot springs 👏👏 This place is where it’s at for flavor, texture, and taste- omggggg. When I go to bbq places I typically stick with sausage (how can they mess that up right?), the smoked chicken (again, another hard one to mess up) or something random like catfish or loaded fries simply because all I taste in brisket or pulled pork around here is a little smoke and no other flavor profiles, no juiciness, just nothing to write home about to say the least. When I first tried this food truck (they have a covered table area!!) my expectations were low but the smell had me literally turn the car around so I had to try it. It was 20 past closing time but the lights were on and I didn’t know they were closed. These guys were so awesome they let me order anyways but they only had the brisket, potato salad, and baked beans left. I was really bummed because again, I just haven’t been impressed EVER by any of the brisket around here. OH. MY. WORDS- I am so happy they were sold out of everything else because I never would have known what heaven I was missing! The brisket was thick, juicy slabs with such tender, smoked and heavily seasoned fatty edges that I couldn’t get enough of- and I usually don’t get excited about fatty edges unless it’s bacon. HANDS DOWN, Best bbq yet. Last week I was able to get two coworkers to try them and we got the sampler plates with the gourmet Mac n cheese, baked beans and some tater salad. They did it again!!! The sausage was juicy and had soooo much flavor, the ribs were literally shredding off the bone with our plastic forks, and the pulled pork looked like it was going to be that typical tasteless pile of shredded smoke and OMGGGG it had so many flavor profiles that I actually forgot to use their homemade bbq sauce on it- and that NEVER happens (I HIGHLY recommend the spicy bbq- I pray they bottle and sell it one day it’s that fricken good). And of course the brisket that came with the sampler was the heaven I raved about to my coworkers, as were the sides. If I were to pick the sides in order of best to great I would get the beans (lots of smoky meaty goodness), the gourmet Mac n cheese (BIG tender noodles that kinda reminded me of a Mac n cheese lasagna almost but with that real cheese flavor, and then the potato salad even though it was so flavorful as well. My boss is a hard sell because he comes from the west coast and recently moved here but in his exact words he said “best bbq in Arkansas I’ve had yet”. If I could give more stars I would. My only complaint- they aren’t open more days of the week!!!
