I've been fortunate to have been enjoying the sliced beef, pork & shredded pork (and yes, "spike it" for the spice) for almost 25 years. The menu is simple, the food great, the sauce flavorful and the heat as hot as you'd like it. Over the years I've ended up ordering the shredded pork, hot & messy more often than not. I used to order the beans & chips too, but I can no longer eat as much as I used to. The serving size is generous, the service always with a greeting and a smile, and the price is very fair. The drawbacks-parking is limited and good weather draws a larger crowd, and I would prefer a fork rather than a spork.

Let me start by saying that I don't consider myself anything close to a BBQ expert. I'm skeptical of it because it's usually too sweet for my taste. I don't like BBQ sauce that tastes too much of sugar and/or molasses. That said, pecos brings it with the spicy flavor that is not too sugary. The pork sandwich (I haven't had the brisket) is juicy and moist, falling apart in the bun. It is MESSY. As someone else said in their review of Pecos, use the spork, you'll never make it through without it. You absolutely must "spike it". Spiking it refers to adding a sliced hot link to your sandwich. If you don't do it, you're not getting the whole picture. In review, three things to remember: Spike. Spork. Pork. Good day!

I and my friends have been eating here for years. The sandwiches are a generous portions of their fine meats...something hard to find at other BBQ joints. Their meats are also an excellent example of slow-smoked pork or brisket. 9 times out of 10 the moist-sliced-beef melts in your mouth. No kidding. Hard to believe when you see how thick they slice it. And don't try to eat with your hands... use the spork. The sandwiches are generously smothered in their not-too-sweet but kick'in BBQ sauce. We use Pecos as the measuring stick when we dine at other BBQ joints. Get the beans, too. I have eaten BBQ from KC to Nashville and Texas and if you like BBQ you must visit PECOS.

Come to Pecos Pit on a sunny day, and don't wear something nice: The seating is a couple of picnic tables outside the order window, and the barbecue sandwiches of brisket or pork, with mild-medium-or-hot sauce (and holy moly, the hot is HOT and peppery) are massive, sloppy and a whole-body experience. If the hot isn't hot enough, try it with a "spike" -- a hot sausage link on top. I don't recommend this for the first visit. This little take-out only place by the docks is laid-back, friendly and committed to preparing barbecue the way God intended: slow-cooking beef and pork for many hours till it's smoky, tender and meaty. Sides such as coleslaw are available and may lighten up your lunch some, but really, it's all about the barbecue here.
