Smoky Pitts Barbecue — Restaurant in Hot Springs

HOLY SMOKES YAL (pun intended)!!! This is by far the best BBQ I have had yet in hot springs 👏👏 This place is where it’s at for flavor, texture, and taste- omggggg. When I go to bbq places I typically stick with sausage (how can they mess that up right?), the smoked chicken (again, another hard one to mess up) or something random like catfish or loaded fries simply because all I taste in brisket or pulled pork around here is a little smoke and no other flavor profiles, no juiciness, just nothing to write home about to say the least. When I first tried this food truck (they have a covered table area!!) my expectations were low but the smell had me literally turn the car around so I had to try it. It was 20 past closing time but the lights were on and I didn’t know they were closed. These guys were so awesome they let me order anyways but they only had the brisket, potato salad, and baked beans left. I was really bummed because again, I just haven’t been impressed EVER by any of the brisket around here. OH. MY. WORDS- I am so happy they were sold out of everything else because I never would have known what heaven I was missing! The brisket was thick, juicy slabs with such tender, smoked and heavily seasoned fatty edges that I couldn’t get enough of- and I usually don’t get excited about fatty edges unless it’s bacon. HANDS DOWN, Best bbq yet. Last week I was able to get two coworkers to try them and we got the sampler plates with the gourmet Mac n cheese, baked beans and some tater salad. They did it again!!! The sausage was juicy and had soooo much flavor, the ribs were literally shredding off the bone with our plastic forks, and the pulled pork looked like it was going to be that typical tasteless pile of shredded smoke and OMGGGG it had so many flavor profiles that I actually forgot to use their homemade bbq sauce on it- and that NEVER happens (I HIGHLY recommend the spicy bbq- I pray they bottle and sell it one day it’s that fricken good). And of course the brisket that came with the sampler was the heaven I raved about to my coworkers, as were the sides. If I were to pick the sides in order of best to great I would get the beans (lots of smoky meaty goodness), the gourmet Mac n cheese (BIG tender noodles that kinda reminded me of a Mac n cheese lasagna almost but with that real cheese flavor, and then the potato salad even though it was so flavorful as well. My boss is a hard sell because he comes from the west coast and recently moved here but in his exact words he said “best bbq in Arkansas I’ve had yet”. If I could give more stars I would. My only complaint- they aren’t open more days...

wow! to be honest we went to Drip Drop on marion anderson 1st. Mistake on our part. we left there still hungry, my wife took the pulled pork home with us because it wasn't warm enough to eat,. Smoky Pitts was way more what we were wanting, we got the Sampler minus pulled pork but extra sausage. the price was $24 and fed both of us where as Drip Drop was $22 for 1 person,. I hope your doing ok on your margins Smoky Pitts? Smoky Pitts - Brisket was so tender and flavorful, beautiful smoke ring rub was spot on! the sausage was smoked very well too, love the flavor (homemade)? Ribs were fantastic Rub was also very delicious, loved the fact that you put the Sauce on the side so we could taste the meat. we also got the Coleslaw and mac and cheese Even though we are on Keto, lol fell of that with the coleslaw it was like desert! seriously! was there yogurt in your mix? overall! we will be back every week from now on. awesome job you guys! Don't give up live the dream i think your on your way! Fast delivery · Child-friendly · Outdoor dining · Good salad · Large...

We ordered a pound of brisket, baked beans, Mac n cheese, cole slaw, and potato salad. First of all the spices on the crust of the brisket and the baked beans are like none other in town and most likely addictive! Really a melange of flavors and probably a few spices you don't usually think of on bbq. The potato salad is out of this world. Mac n cheese is usually something I'm disappointed by, but not this one! Best in town. Cole slaw was quite saucy, so be aware. Thank you smoky Pitts for filling a void on...
