I visited the Pit on 11/18 after several years and I found that finally the owners were cleaning up and to our surprice even though they were closed temporarily ,we were able to enjoy the ""BEST RIBS IN TOWN"" yes we could go to SHORTY'S but we want the taste of the old traditional AMERICAN BBQ, and there is nothing like HICKORY WOOD to achieve that taste even on a portable grill outside the PIT parking lot!\r
The restaurant is closed until the first week of December but the owners told us that due to the amount of customers coming from far away to get their ribs, they decided to use their portable catering GRILL to offer us, RIB'S, CHICKEN, BURGERS and CORN on the cob, just so their customers would not have to leave without eating. We were served 8 huge ribs and half a chicken that fed our family of four. The portions were huge and the taste was as always ""THE BEST"". To our surprise they even brought the food to our picnic table under the Tiki hut. Remember guys this is not a five start restaurant in Coral Gables this is a part of America that we are forgeting, this is the ""COUNTRY"" ,wood burning grill, no A/C but a beautiful country side, fresh air and seating under the TIKI HUTS, even PONY RIDES to keep our kids happy and occupied. In my opinion the trip to THE PIT is well worth every mile! and I don't know how others may feel, but I appreciate a clean atmosphere to dine in as well as a clean Restroom for my wife and child to use.\r
I missed the home made biscuits and cole slaw, but the owners assured me that come December, the full menu will be served. I have family coming from Tennessee to visit for the Holidays, and I know they will\r
appreciate and enjoy ""THE PIT"" just like we enjoy ""BARE BONES BBQ"" in Pigeon Forge.\r
Keep up the good work guys, and don't change the taste of those ribs! They are mmmmm the best!!
Pros: Authentic country style wood burning Bar B Q
Cons: No A/C but plenty of ceiling fans!
