The Brisket Grilled Cheese is phenomenal! I had it with a side of baked beans and fries. Topped it off with a cheesecake and coffee. Top marks. The soups a great too. Baked potato soup had bits of bacon and cheese. I will be telling my friends and coming back.

Excellent Barbecue! There are a few BBQ places in the area, and the Pit Rib House is definitely the best. If you Like BBQ Ribs, this is the place. Their Ribs are a few bucks more, but you can tell they use a higher quality Rib. They are definitely meatier than the competition. You also get a choice of sides as well as Texas Toast which is a nice addition. I have also had their pulled pork sandwiches if you are looking for something more economical, or aren't as hungry, but portion sizes are good regardless. The staff is friendly and attentive and the decor and atmosphere add to the experience. If you like Barbecue, highly recommend giving The Pit Rib House a chance.

Such a great spot with lots of vintage decor! The beef brisket was to die for crispy edges in my plate, but also nice and juicy and soft. Their meats are definitely the staple at their facility. Their onion rings were large sized onions, crispy and cooked all the way through. The wings were also crispy and tasty, but not the top of my choice would definitely go back hopefully to try the jalapeno poppers and will 100% get the beef brisket again the chicken was good too on the combo platter, but I felt like I needed to be a little bit more smoky and crispy.

First time trying The Pit Rib House and I was very satisfied. Ordered 2 dishes and both are delicious. Please try it for yourselves. The service was great. Waitress was very polite and helped with every question I had about the menu. The atmosphere is really nice! A lot of cool antiques around the establishment. I really enjoyed my dine in experience here. Hope everyone enjoys as much as I did.
