The Barbecue Pit

I'm not a barbecue expert and I usually don't care for barbecue sauce as it too sweet. So I got a beef sandwich to eat without any sauce. Unfortunately the meat was flavorless: no seasoning, no salt, no smoked taste. I was surprised since they have such a good reputation. In my limited barbecue experience I would judge a good barbecue place by how the meat tastes before you add any sauce. I doused it in Louisiana sauce but got tired of eating and didn't finish the sandwich. The coleslaw was excellent, crisp and flavorful. My husband loved his pulled pork sandwich, and my dad enjoyed his ham sandwich and pea soup.

Great BBQ! One of my favorites. I love how it hasn’t changed since I was a kid.

BBQ Pit!! Just the mention of going to "The Pit" for lunch or dinner, brings a smile to my face! They haven't changed this place since I can remember, but that doesn't matter! The food is what I'm after and the food is what keeps me going back! My cousin lives in Oceanside and she will make a special trip just for the sauce! It's always hard for me to decide what I want, But the ham will always be my favorite!

The best food. The ham and beef are the best. I get half pound meat and the sandwich dinner. The mac and cheese, cole slaw, and beans are the best. I go there all the time.

I'm a little biased, but my first visit to that place was 39 years ago, on my way home from the hospital. The food hasn't changed significantly in almost 40 years. I love it! Everything's made from scratch except the potato salad and even that is great! Opened by my grandfather in 1947, it is still going strong. I would recommend it to anybody that has a soft spot for barbecue!!
