The Smoke Pit - Concord

The food was really delicious. Generously portioned. The brisket and smoked turkey were so flavorful and tender. I'm ALWAYS skeptical about restaurant mac n cheese, but it was very good. Service was fast and staff attentive even on a very busy night. Can't wait to return! We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

Tonight, I was pleasantly disappointed... I went to try this new restaurant called The Smoke Pit for the express purpose of getting Brisket. Well, I get there, just as they run out of said brisket which caused significant disappointment to creep in. But I pressed forward and chose to go with the half rack of ribs and Holy canoli! Best ribs I've ever had! Sides were amazing too. Deviled egg potato salad and smoked pork bbq beans! Also, staff were top notch, fast and friendly! Definitely a great start to a long weekend UPDATED: Made it back to try the brisket and it was AMAZING! Definitely understand why it sold out my previous visit.

Enjoyed a great lunch at the Smoke Pit. Fast service with a crowd at lunchtime. In and out within 35 minutes! The Burnt Ends sandwich is fantastic!

When we got there the line was almost out the door. It didn’t take too long until we put our order in. We were fortunate to get a table inside. We got the half ribs (meaty) with collards, mac and cheese and baked beans. They had sauces at the table. There was like a sweet bbq, vinegary, spicy and a honey mustard if I’m not mistaken. It was ALL delicious. Cornbread was standard. To drink I tried the watermelon black tea and it was good. My other family members had strawberry lemonade. We saw many door dash orders and others picking up to go. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. You have to try this place! Oh and the brisket and burnt ends were out when we were there after 6pm on a Saturday so if you’re looking forward to that come early. We were coming for the ribs. But maybe this would be helpful for some of you especially if you don’t live close.

I 100% loved this place! I wish I could be critical of one thing but I just can't. The amount of food they give you is way more than expected. The food itself was amazing! The staff is great and the restaurant is clean. I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a barbecue restaurant in the area or even outside of the area. If you have to make a drive for good food, this is definitely worth the trip.
