We got the sampler platter with EVERYTHING! So good! The turkey melted in your mouth, the ribs were falling off the bone, everything was absolute perfection, even the sides! The owner/operator was amazing! Friendly and happy to answer any of our questions.
The food was so spectacular. You can taste the care and effort put into making bbq right! The brisket was nicely done and the ribs just fell off the bone. They had a good amount of sauce too. You won’t need napkins as you will want to lick every last bit off your fingers! The Beans are also REALLY great and I couldn’t get enough! Nothing like I’ve ever had before! The owner is friendly, quick and polite with service. The music was great too! All around, GREAT PLACE!
On par with a good homemade bar-b-que spot. Smoker was going full blast pumping out smoke that created a fresh ready atmosphere. Brisket sandwich (12) looks great and included some Doritos. Food was ready in like 60 seconds. Very fast for bar-b-que.
The food was absolutely delicious. I’m visiting from Baltimore and I’m so picky when it comes to BBQ. I highly recommend the ribs & turkey leg. I’m so glad to have had this great taste experience.
Man oh man now I'm craving a turkey leg. His hospitality is great his truck is great the music was great. Ribs mmmmm hmm chicken oh yah thanks man I'm definitely going back and our friend at the gym enjoyed also. Everyone go check him out.
Mario served up the most delicious 'Memphis' Style Pit BBQ has got to be, the best Memphis Style BBQ in Thornton! We enjoyed great hospitality, great conversation, great BBQ! With southern hospitality and amazing cooking going perfectly together! The Brisket was perfectly smoked with the perfect amount of sauce, meat just falling off the bone, with homemade coleslaw! The generous portions allowed me to eat half there and half later! Delicious 'Memphis' Style BBQ! I definitely recommend Southern Pit Memphis Style BBQ! Will definitely be returning on Sundays! I'd definitely recommend see Mario immediately to get this 'one-of-a-kind' BBQ!
You’re going to want to put this meat in your mouth! The turkey leg was absolutely amazing if you’ve had the flea market turkey legs you’re wasting your money and you need to come try this one! The meat is juicer and way more flavorful with the magic of the smoker and the bbq sauce is an absolutely beautiful top off and man this thing was HUGE. Not only that the style of baked beans are something I’ve never had the pleasure of trying until now and man you’ll wake up craving them I promise you! We don’t have a ton of bbq spots but I can absolutely promise you that I’ll take southern pit over a place like dickies any day you can taste the soul he puts into the food and the atmosphere and attitude of Mario and his truck are something you definitely don’t want to miss!!!
Amazing food and service. The ribs fall off the bone and have such great flavor. We hired Mario for our son’s Wedding rehearsal dinner, and he did not disappoint. He brought with him more than just great food, but a great environment and welcoming personality. Thank you for helping us create a night to remember.
