Pitmasters BBQ — Local services in Somerset

Holy smokes! I pulled over on the side of the road to take a phone call so I discovered this place by accident. I saw “BBQ” so I was like “why not?”. And I am so upset I didn’t try this place sooner because I will be coming here more often, soon to be a regular.

Let me tell you, as someone who is a food quality and taste snob, this place exceeded my expectations. I mean, how good can a BBQ join in DC get?! Haha. Well you just have to try it for yourself to find out. I’ve had brisket all over the country and this is at the top of my list for my favorite places. I just got the Austin brisket sandwich and I love the heavily sesame’d bun that was as soft as a cloud. It was amazing. Although next time I’ll tell them not to put the brisket sauce in there. I thought it would be something based on the brisket juice but it was mayonnaisey which I prefer to leave off because I just wanna taste the full breadth of what the bisket itself offers. Just the brisket and the bread is a good pairing, nothing more is needed. And my other think is that the fries were perfect on the outside although I felt they were too hard. I would like to have them soft when I bite into it. I’m also in love with their coleslaw. I think they put Granny Smith apples in it. I love that! Their lemonade is to die for. I’m obsessed with lemonade and it was so good with the brisket. I just asked for a cup of ice on the side so I can pour it over and it was so nice. As I’m writing this, I’m preparing to head over there again now.

What’s also cool is that there is a who market inside and a butcher shop with what looks like great quality meat at a normal price. I’ll be coming here more often. Everyone should make an effort to check this place out. It’s...

I bought the burnt ends they have all beef burnt end on the menu but they only make the beef and pork mixed. So disappointing, they were over microwaved. So dry and hard to chew. I also orders the mother in law slaw the taste was on point but it gave me the runs within and hour of eating it. I only had a couple of bites. The place refuses to take cash " legal tender" I locked my card because of previous transactions when people press you to pay with a card. The staff if not trained in making this type of food. My experience was not them putting their best foot forward, I wouldn't recommend or return. Update: it's was all horrible on my stomach. Mind you I don't have a weak stomach. I hope it's done with me because I'm done with it. I hope they do better but in the meantime I wouldn't recommend this...

St. Louis ribs were excellent. They were cooked competition style. So, falling off the bone is technically overcooked.

Brisket was tender and juicy.

The fried okra was some of the best I've ever had and came out hot enough. I had to let it cool off for a few minutes.

The Mesquite BBQ sauce was our favorite. It s didn't have much of Mesquite flavor, but it had a nice smokiness to give it balance that the others lacked.

Counter seevice was friendly and helpful. You bus your own table. The tables were clean.

The sweet tea was on the less sweet side and came with lemon already in it from the cooler out on patio.

The desserts in the case looked stunning, but we were stuffed.

The outdoor TVs were too washed out to watch anything during the day.

Use the on street parking, not the lot for the...
