Reviews for The Barbecue Pit in El Cajon, CA
Very mediocre bbq. I ordered the rib and chicken combo, beef sandwich, pulled pork sandwich. Pulled pork was just a pile of... mushy meaty on a plain bun. The beef sandwich was paper thin slices of beef on a plain bun decent but nothing special. The rib/chicken combo chicken was not bad decently seasoned but the ribs were awful so much fat hardly any meat on the bones not cookedvery well at all a huge letdown. Macaroni salad has too much vinegar, the potatoes salad tasted and looked store bought. The bbqsauce was very sweet not a fan. My favorite thing out of everything I tried would be the baked beans. Would not recommend thisplace. Read more
This spot was good I am glad I went. I ordered the beef ribs. They were tender and delicious. limited menu its strictly BBQ.... Definitely worth a visit. Read more
The barbecue ham and barbecue beef sandwiches were excellent! The problem here lies in the side dishes. The macaroni salad was... downright weird, not even edible in my opinion it almost was like it had very sweet cabbage or something weird that was crunchyin it. The fries are just okay not a lot of flavor, could use some seasoning salt. My boyfriend really likes the baked beans andhe likes this place better than I do. To me the side dishes are almost a deal breaker Read more
I tried it today. It was very mediocre. Pulled pork was ok, kind of mushy, but the cold hard bun they put it on ruined any... chance of it being good. A package of $.99 buns just isn?t doing it.They could elevate the sandwich so much using different bunsor at least just grilling it or warming it. Probably wouldn?t go back Read more
First it was fantastic my daughter likes barbecued beef sandwich and macaroni salad. I tried the pulled pork French fries With... coleslaw. Delicious!! I do wanna say that the staff there they?re always friendly and they?re always in a willing to give you asuggestion if you ask. I really like going there and have for years and will continue for years. Read more
Excellent!! The meat is like butter!! This place brings back such taste bud memories of my childhood. All of them were family... favorites. There isn't anything on the menu that is bad, it's ALL delicious. When I was there the other day they didn'tdisappoint. I got exactly what I remembered. Oh I wish they still everywhere, not just this one location. Read more
We got the full slab of pork ribs. The ribs were lean, crispy on the outside, and fall off the bone tender. The ribs are way... better that those at Phil's BBQ, but not quite as good as at Coop's West Texas BBQ. As our side we chose the coleslaw. It wasa bit dry and not as creamy as the gold standard of Milton's, but had a good flavor and crisp texture. This location's food andportions are better than at their North Park location. Read more
Love the pork ribs. BBQ beans are great too. Macaroni salad is the best I've had anywhere. The corn bread and Boysenberry pie... were fresh baked. The staff is great. Nothing but good when you go there. Plenty of free fixin's to add to any meal. Read more
