Pit Stop Smokery — Restaurant in Osoyoos

My husband and I were back in Osoyoos for our second trip this year and decided we should follow up with the owner’s invitation to rectify our initial experience with Pit Stop Smokery. The owner, Oliver, was very accommodating and went above and beyond to improve our experience with his eatery. The brisket and ribs were amazing…very moist…and very tasty barbecue sauce! Also enjoyed the beans and coleslaw. Thank you Oliver for following up…appreciate that you are a newer business and and still perfecting your process. If you keep doing what you served us on our second visit you will be successful. Hang in there!

First time here…and sad to say that our meal was very disappointing. My husband and I ordered the beef brisket @ $14.99…be aware that it does not come as a meal…just like 5 slices of meat. No sides…you pay an extra $4.50 for your beans and cornbread or fries etc. We ordered fries with it…we asked for ketchup…was told that he just ran out? The meat was on the dry side and definitely needed some sort of sauce or gravy…noticed that the pulled pork sandwich is served with their signature BBQ sauce and asked if we could get some of that…nope don’t have that either. He offered us mustard? Seriously mustard? Perhaps let customers know that you have no ketchup or barbecue sauce before placing an order. These are necessary condiments to have for this type of...

Really wanted to love this place after the good reviews. Appreciate the idea and the homemade-ness of it, but the execution was lacking. Said it would be 10 minutes for food but was over 20. The burger was good, but couldn't really tell the patty was brisket, but the smoked bacon was yum. Bun was dense. Cornbread was a good size and a touch dry but overall decent. Slaw average. Beans...well we had to go back for them as he forgot to give them to us. The portion of them was teeny tiny and they were all dried up and looked unappealing, but surprisingly their taste was the best thing we got. Very smoky with a little kick.

I understand he is a newer business. I would suggest getting divided containers so the slaw doesn't touch the bun, and avoid the cornbread placed on top of the slaw too. Perhaps a few more beans would be nice. Will consider trying again on our visit next year and hope to upgrade...

We tried out this place today for the first time after going to the wrong BBQ truck yesterday thinking it was this truck we've been hearing about in Osoyoos lol well I must say yesterday's BBQ was straight trash BBQ compare to Pit Stop Smokery quality BBQ meats. The Brisket from The Beast BBQ to their smoked brisket is not even comparable. The quality and the flavor is night and day and I have to admit it's one of the best Brisket I've had in a very long time. We also tried their pulled pork sandwich which is pretty damn tasty which same goes for the Brisket bacon burger and all the sides we ordered ( try their cornbread you'll thank me later ) Oliver who I believe is the owner/ Pitmaster is a real genuine dude. You can tell he really is about his business and loves to serve his customers great food. Kudos to you my man and more power to ya. Keep the hustle strong all day we'll see...
