Smoke In The Pit

Quick and efficient. I called ahead and the time was perfect and spot on. Street parking is available and I had no problem finding a spot. Signage is easy to read and very visible. Food was great! Rib tips came with BBQ sauce on the side, I enjoy the fact I had the option to choose how much sauce I wanted to put on my tips. The BBQ sauce came in great portion. Catfish was classic, packaged well with my tips. I didn't have to worry about food being soggy because it was prepared/packaged well. Yams were phenomenal! I will return, I want to see what else the menu has to offer. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the entire experience!

‍ it's the catfish and smoked wings for me. The catfish was fried to perfection and very flavorful. The smoked wings were tender and had an awesome smokey flavor to them. The ribs also had a very smokey flavorful taste and were really tender. The side I had were the fried spaghetti, which was really really good. Also had the greens and they were amazing. This man knows what he's doing and definitely is doing a great job he's also very professional. I'll definitely be back with the wife and would advise others to give it a shot. You will Not be disappointed!!

Please don’t leave reviews unless you actually ordered and ate the food. I’m thinking 5 stars and good reviews the food was gonna be amazing the food was trash the greens tasted like they were canned and the yams were ok but so plain the wings hard hardly any meat on them and the sauce had no flavor I was so shocked for the prices they were charging for the food I thought everything was gonna be really good but its so over priced I’m so disappointed for how hyped up this place was with the reviews save yourself the money and don’t order here it looks nothing like the pictures you’ll be very very disappointed

Stopped in for the first time recently. The smoked wings had fantastic Smokey flavor. The real highlight of my order was the catfish platter. Perfectly cooked and seasoned catfish. Great service and such a friendly crew!

We picked up lunch today. I had seen the smoked wings mentioned a lot. GET THEM!! Seriously. The brisket was good, but those wings. Ugh, so good. We bought pulled pork for later. We got sauce that I think comes with the pork. We ended up dipping the fries in the sauce. Buy the sauce just to dip everything in! There was some confusion, some on our part as we missed the lunch option is only weekdays. We didn't get the side of beans with our brisket we asked for so we ended up with 2 sides of greens, which were delicious. And the very nice young lady forgot to add the large side of beans. The owner was very nice and when we told him it was our first time he said we'd be back. I think he will be proved right!! It didn't come with eating utensils. I don't known if you have to ask, but maybe plan ahead. We tore up a corner of the to go carton and made a spoon for the greens!

Highly disappointed the reviews did not match the expectations of the food at all don’t waste your money here a lot of people leaving 5 star reviews but never ordered or tasted the food. Food was very bland chicken wings barely had any meat and greens tasted like they were canned. Food was also very very over priced

Put in our order and went to experience the gallery across the street. Our food came out nice and hot and tasted freshly cooked which is not always the case with bbq joints in my experience. The owner was pleasant and uplifting, and we'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in Minneapolis. The brisket and fried spaghetti were mind blowing, as was the special sauce. Wish I had a bottle of it to take home!

I ordered smoked wings and catfish nuggets for my moms birthday and the food was great. I gave a time that I would pick up and it was ready. Professional and great staff. Definitely will continue to support.

Barbecue was awesome, glad I came through. Takeout only but that's totally fine, food was still hot and delicious when I got back to my place.Food: 5/5

Don't go here based on the nearly 5 star reviews like I did. I thought it would be a little hole in the wall with some good BBQ, but it was a waste of time and money. I had the lunch menu brisket sandwich and fries. Plenty of fries, but they weren't that good, and while I waited for my food for 10 minutes I was the only one there, I could hear the microwave going on and off. They were heating up my brisket in there, and even then it wasn't hot upon receiving it. Bottom line: Save your time and money, this is a dive and the food is garbage. I think the only people who like this must be used to the dollar menu at McDonald's and love anything CHEAP.
