Blue Pit BBQ and Whiskey Bar

Taste for BBQ!!!!! The BBQ here had no need for sauce. Tender, well seasoned, and hearty. However, the sauces were tasty: Mustard Sauce, Hot & Sweet, Coffee, and Sweet. My favorite one was the Coffee BBQ sauce. Baked beans, collard greens vinegary, Mac&Cheese, Cole Slaw Red Chilli and corn bread. Everything was pretty good !!! The mixed drinks from the bar were very good as well. We had the "Old Fashions". Bar seating up front. Chair seating upstairs and on the balcony. Upstairs looks like nice place to reserve for lunch or dinner party. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. We'll be returning to try the brisket, and to have some more drinks . Parking: Was able to park on street beside establishment, but barely. This was at a time that business was slow.

Place is straight fire. Easily one of the best restaurants in Hampden. Prices are affordable and portions are great. Best of all, food quality is top-tier. We picked up on a Saturday night and ordered pulled pork, brisket, mac & cheese, beans, coleslaw, and potato salad. Literally everything was fantastic. Friendly wait staff and cozy vibes inside. 10/10 would go again.

I visited the outside patio with my dog and the team was super friendly and welcoming. He got lots of treats and fresh water. I had the Zekes Coffee Rubbed Brisket Mac & Cheese and the vinegar based cole slaw. For my beverage, I chose an old fashioned. Everything was delicious. We will be back! <3

My husband and I hosted our wedding here and I have received nothing but compliments from our guests about how our wedding was the most fun wedding they’d ever been too. Cara was nothing short of an angel. We planned from afar as we are from out of town and she was always open and available to email, FaceTime, etc. to make sure our day went flawlessly. Her and her team decorated for us as well as cleaned up, which took a crazy amount of stress off us. We were seated for 60 in the private second floor area and they were even able to accommodate a DJ. The prices were out of this world for a wedding especially with the value/quality that we received. The food was incredible, the drinks top notch, and the staff were so accommodating and fun I wish they could have attended as guests! The venue even came with an amazing Photo Booth that our guests loved. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back for dinner when we are back in town.

Most delicious and moist brisket you'll ever have. I also love Mac n Cheese... so thick and creamy. The collard greens are also really good! My Manhattan was also yummy and well balanced. I highly recommend. Street parking. I went on a Sunday so it wasn't too bad.

So my husband looked this place up because he really wanted some bbq food… I should have grilled myself but I digress… first let’s start by saying the quantity and quality of the food is not worth the price we’ve had way better. In fact still have not found a place better but there in DC. But next I had ordered the 2 meat platter with the brisket and brats wurst my sides were the red chili coleslaw and greens. My husband had the 2 meat platter as well he ordered the pulled pork and chicken his sides were Mac and cheese and the beans. The beans was the best thing out of both of our dishes. My greens had to much vinegar taste to it. My slaw was not slawing both my brisket and brat was very bland unseasoned. My brisket was a little tender but very dry. My husband said the pulled pork and chicken was ok but had really no flavor. The Mac was ok but not too tasty either… basically we wasted our $50. We didn’t either bother eating the cornbread so don’t know what that taste like. But it came with no butter. What you see of my food is still what’s left I couldn’t. Don’t know if we will try again maybe it was just a bad night or the wrong cook. Not sure

Love the brisket here. The people are great and so are the vibes. The vinegar coleslaw and macaroni are so good. I Just wish they'd add one more slice of brisket to the large 3 briskets meal and I REALLY wish they'd warm up and butter down their cornbread.Food: 4/5

We were introduced to this bar by a friend who used to leave in the neighborhood but moved out of the city and is currently our neighbor. She said they have some of the best whiskey cocktails and bar foods that's very reasonable. She could not have been more right! We arrived and were greeted by the bartenders and were told to sit wherever we would like. We have six of us and just stood around one end of the bar. Not a huge bar but cozy. The bartenders are super kind and welcoming. They have food going until 10 which we took full advantage of. One friend ordered the Jackfruit Sandwich, which I didn't realize was a vegan bbq option... woah! I'm not vegan but I absolutely had to try a bite. Definitely tricked me. I got the chopped brisket and could not have been happier. The Mac n' Cheese is AMAZING! I would got back to sit in a corner just to have a cocktail and a bowl of their Mac n' Cheese! For real! Everything was reasonably priced and great portions. Loads of laughter, smiles, full bellies, and great drinks. Thank you. We will be back!

Very average Barbeque food. It's not terrible, but no where close to being good or great. It's just alright. It's like a more expensive but worse tasting version of Mission BBQ. I got the 3 meat plate and the ribs were the best thing. Bratwurst lacked flavor and seemed slightly undercooked. Brisket had waaaaay too much fat on it to the point where I had to pull it off the meat pics at bottom. Not bad but I probably won't be eating here again. Beans lacked seasoning and the Mac was about a 4 out of 10 lol... I hate to say it but it tasted like BBQ made with little to no "soul"

The bratwurst were a whitish brown color, not what I'm used to seeing. The chopped brisket was bland with little flavor. The Macaroni and cheese tasted like it came from a box. The green and potato salad were delicious. Next time, I'll just take the drive to Mission BBQ.Food: 3/5
