Very friendly staff. Delicious food. I ordered the trash can and my daughter had the rib plate since it was a Saturday. They only server them on a Friday & Saturday.
Great service and even better food!Side portions could be bigger but all around I got full
Neat clean little BBQ restaurant. Great food and super fast service. I'm going to try the dumpster/trash can bowls someday:)
All I can say is it's 20x's better than the Paula Dean restaurant. They cook it fresh and it is so good. Breakfast and lunch either one. This cozy little restaurant is one where you will meet your neighbor or a traveling through visitor and by the time you leave you've already talked to each table beside you. I just love it. It feels like you went to your grandma's house to eat.
Passing through Portland and decided to bypass all the fast food chains. Glad I did - got tasty shredded turkey, baked beans and yummy Cole slaw for $7.99 - and corn bread! The service was friendly and the place was clean. They also have drive through
I was surprised by this place. It had pretty good yelp reviews but I'm extremely picky about my barbecue (I'm a Carolina girl, I got high standards!), so I didn't really think a place in Portland, TN, would do it for me. It's a tiny restaurant, bad for groups, but good for a quick sit down lunch with a couple others. The bathroom was extremely clean. The menu is overwhelming- lots of meat, plus more meat in various types and quantities. They don't have as many sides as I expected, just about 3 or 4 options. French fries and onion rings weren't on the list, so my hopes dropped even more. They do have a menu to the side with a daily combo special, and the deal of the day was a BBQ Baked Potato. Sounded good, so I got it with chicken barbecue, a side of slaw, and their lemonade. The barbecue was amazing. The chicken was cooked just right, not dry, and went really well with a baked potato. We got our food to go but they included their tomato based sauce. Wow! I loved it. I wish I had gotten just a full barbecue sandwich because the meat was so good! But I love potatoes and just needed one that day, you know how it is. The slaw was good and seemed to have a sweet vinegar sauce with cracked pepper. The container looks small but they really packed the slaw in and it was a perfect amount. I got a cornbread roll on the side too and it was delicious. My only complaints (very minor) are the cheese and the lemonade. They put cheese on my BBQ potato but it was shredded American cheese, or something processed with no flavor and a weird texture. Next time I'll get it with no cheese (FYI this cheese also comes on their salad). I expected a homemade lemonade which is why I ordered it but it tasted like Country Time, not my thing. Also, the medium sized drink is what I would consider a large anywhere else, so if you don't want a lot, get a small! Overall I was very impressed by the Barbecue Pit and if I'm ever passing through again, I'll get some more BBQ!
