Baumbach's Pit Barbeque & Grill

This place is now called the lamp post under New Management. It has been open since November 2018

This is the greatest BBQ in the area! The owner is friendly and really cares for his customers. Meals are great and the decor well suited to the theme. I am most certainly a return customer!

Best barbecue, pork beef or chicken. Smell the hickory smoke as you walk by the smoker. Home style service with home town friendliness. Great prices & enough food to take some home with you.

Normally this would be a 4-star rating. Service is through the roof, definite 5 stars. Food is a solid 4 stars. What pushed it over is the fact that there's nothing else to eat here that's any good. (If you're willing to eat at chains, you're probably not even reading this review.) Bottom line: If you're in the Richmond area and hungry, stop reading this review, go to Baumbach's, and eat. Close those other reviews, you don't need them. Now, that being said, two suggestions. One: get a couple more beers on tap. Shiner Bock is a nice Texas touch but I only saw 3 or 4 taps in the whole bar. Two: Get pecan pie. I know your desserts have pecans in them, and the rum cake is at least 4 stars, but when I eat good BBQ I want to finish with either a good pecan pie or a cheap, sloppy, shack-in-the-woods, ear-to-ear-grinning pecan pie. Doesn't matter which, but gotta have one.
