The Smoke Pit - Monroe

TBH, the meats are very good but everything else for me was not as good as expected. For $20 I got burnt ends, 1 side, and choice of Texas toast or hush puppies. Most BBQ restaurants give 2 sides with the meat. Honestly I would have rather had 2 sides that were half portions than this 1 large side. Mistakenly I chose BBQ beans to go with my burnt ends and it was just too much BBQ flavor all together. And the portion of beans is fairly hearty. Also I felt that none of the sauces were particularly good. They were all fine but I certainly wasn’t crazy about any of them. Again, my opinion. My wife got chopped pulled pork BBQ, side of sweet potato casserole, and Texas toast. The pulled pork was excellent as well, and I would say the sweet potato casserole was the best side that any of us had. But still, it was a lot of 1 thing. My son got a pulled pork sandwich and baked macaroni & cheese. This was the best deal we all got. His was only $10 and it had practically as much meat as the plates did for as much lower price. The macaroni & cheese was pretty good, not excellent, however he really enjoyed it. Other than the food, the service was good and we were checked on regularly, though no other employees spoke to us as we entered or left the building.
