Texas Pit Stop BBQ

Absolutely fantastic!

Was visiting Galveston and decided to stop here for lunch on a cool Friday afternoon. It's right on the coast and you can view the ocean from one side full of windows of the restaurant. There's plenty of free parking available. The whole ambience is truly amazing.

Getting to the food - we ordered the following:
The loaded nachos - the best I've had in Texas - not kidding. It was oozing with cheese, and loaded with tomatoes, meat and jalapenos.
The chicken burger with fries - quite average, the fries unusually large and not very flavorful
Special margherita - It's premade, but pretty good with the right amount of tequila and flavor

The portions for all items were quite hefty, aptly fitting the saying - 'Everything is big in Texas'

The staff was very friendly, and the place was nearly empty, probably because we went for a really late lunch. There's probably a lot more vibe during peak hours on the weekend, when the place might be truly buzzing. You wouldn't expect it, but as great as Galveston is in top-notch weather, the nachos here was one of the highlights of my trip to Galveston from Dallas.

I would definitely visit here again if I were to travel to Galveston. Highly recommended!

Really good food and great friendly service. Hard to find during the busy season in Galveston. We stopped by Taco Cabana for my daughter before we came here and I’m pretty sure the people at Taco Cabana smoke crack before work. Taco cabana sucks! And Pit Stop are the Champions!!! Great BBQ too!!!

Good smoked chicken and turkey. Decent sides. Service leaves something to be desired. 10 minutes to box up a whole smoked chicken in an empty restaurant with 4 employees behind the counter and 2 in the kitchen is just plain lazy.

Great BBQ at a reasonable price. Staff was very helpful and courteous. Fried pork skins are awesome and cheaper than what you would pay at a grocery store. We even got some extra to bring home and they stayed good for a few days.

We took 18 high school students to eat there. We had excellent food and service for a good price! Everyone enjoyed the meal! The brisket is really tender! They have on tap root beer; cream soda; and several others; along with the usual sodas and choices of iced tea; desserts.
It’s on the Seawall with a nice ocean view and close to Moody resort.
We’ll be stopping there again soon!
