Low and Slow Since 2001

Robert and Stephanie Traetta built The BBQ Pit the same way they cook their brisket — with patience, fire, and no shortcuts. Former Texans have walked in and declared it the best BBQ they've ever had.

What our guests are saying

this is a very casual spot. lots of takeout orders. We ate in and the staff was very friendly. We got wings, mac and cheese as well as the sandwich trio. The food was delicious and I can’t wait to try more items.

You need to get here as fast as possible! I used to live in Texas and this place is better than the brisket and other bbq I’d go for at least once a week! And Ive been searching for 12 years since I left Austin! I’m truly in heaven here! The staff is awesome. I’ve been two days in a row and will be back very soon.
