Overall a great place to grab some bbq. The potato salad and coleslaw weren’t seasoned to my liking, but it was okay. The corn was delicious. The lady helping when I came in asked if I wanted lean or fatty brisket. LOVED having that option. The sauce was sweet and went great on top of everything, especially the Mac and cheese.

Overall I had a poor experience. I had the sliced brisket which was VERY fatty! My wife had the chopped brisket which was SO DRY it was CRUNCHY!! It seemed like it was meat that had been reheated from the previous day. We had this for lunch and I’m still burping because of how greasy it was. Also the guy who was forming the sandwiches was so rude and impatient. Oh gosh, the sides (Mac and cheese and potato salad) were SO flavorLESS- no salt, no pepper, NOTHING. The potato salad tasted like it had been frozen overnight. Who made this food? *cries* I was expecting so much more considering all the “great reviews” I’ve heard. Best part of the meal? The bottled Coca Cola- because they didn’t make it. Bodacious BarBQ is so much better.

I'm always down to come here for a Jailbreak! Today I also picked up a pulled pork sandwich with my order..super stingy with the meat. Disappointed to say the least. My favorite sides are always the cream corn and beans. I tried the mac and cheese instead of beans this time, definitely needed more flavor to them. Besides that I'll still be coming back mainly for the sandwich

Outing with my dear wife, we stopped by The Pit Bbq. Everything about the place was good. I recommend the Jailbreaker. The Jailbreaker is a peanut butter, jelly, and brisket sandwich. Unique, bt the best. Thank yall for your great work!

Brisket & Pork Ribs
Got a to go order. Told them it was for a family of 5. Asked for bread to go with a meal and we didn’t get it. Gave us a tiny thing of bbq sauce. So if you choose to go here they’ll cheap you out on essentials it seems. 👎 also their menu listed here is not up to date because they don’t offer the party packs anymore. Very disappointing. When I called to let them know the person who and didn’t seem to care.
Updated after mangers response
I will address this response.
1. I did ask for bread, which is why I called to complain. And no, nobody offered to fix it in ANY way. So go ahead and lie if you want to make yourself look better.
2. The menu I saw was here on Google so perhaps make some updates on it since so many people use it.
3. The food wasn’t really that good either. The turkey was very salty and the brisket was also very salty and over seasoned and extremely fatty even though I asked for the leaner option. Also everything was VERY greasy and upset all of our stomachs. The sausage was… well sausage. Can’t really screw that one up. I did like the squash . The Mac and cheese had no flavor. In fact, we aren’t even eating the leftovers. My dogs did enjoy them though! So maybe they’ll give you the 5 stars you’re looking for. So in the end, no, we will NOT be back.

I would give this place a solid 4.3 stars because it has a lot of potential. I recently visited and tried their taco special, which had its ups and downs. Let's break it down.
The meat itself was quite tasty, and if I were to judge based on that alone, it would have received a 4.6 rating. However, I found it a bit dry, which made me suspect that it may have been sitting in the warmer for a little too long. Moisture is key, and I believe that with some adjustments in the cooking time, the meat would have been exceptional.
Another aspect that slightly lowered my score was the choice of using cold corn tortillas. Heating them up would have made a significant difference in enhancing the overall taco experience. The warmth adds a delightful touch and helps bring out the flavors of the fillings. It's a small detail, but it does make a noticeable impact.
On the bright side, the jalapeño cream corn was absolutely fantastic and easily became the highlight of my meal. The flavors were well-balanced, and it complemented the tacos perfectly. I highly recommend trying it if you visit this place.
Additionally, I must mention that the sauce they put on the tacos was delicious. It added a tangy and savory kick that elevated the overall taste. Kudos to the chef for crafting such a flavorful sauce.
However, I did notice that the enthusiasm of the people behind the counter was lacking. They didn't seem particularly excited to welcome customers. Friendly and enthusiastic staff can greatly enhance the dining experience, making customers feel valued and eager to return.
In conclusion, this place shows great potential with its tasty meat, delightful sauces, and standout dishes like the jalapeño cream corn. There are areas for improvement, such as addressing the dryness of the meat and ensuring tortillas are warmed. Moreover, boosting customer service by fostering a more welcoming atmosphere would further enhance the overall experience. With these adjustments, this place has the potential to become even better.

Just moved to town and was in need of new BBQ. I was recommended to come here. I got the brisket sandwich and it was amazing. The sandwich was very flavourful and the BBQ sauce was also very delicious. I got the coleslaw as a side and it was very crisp and fresh. I highly recommend coming here if you are wanting BBQ in San Angelo.
Update : I got the jail break sandwich and it is amazing, something you have to try for yourself to understand why it's so good.
Update: new location looks very nice, still plenty of parking, they have a soda machine inside and you can see them smoking the meat when you walk in.
