The Pit really does have the best ribs around. It's a pretty big place that's not usually that crowded. They have amazing homemade soup and lots of good appetizers, along with the best ribs around.

I liked the decor. If you like BBQ it's great. I personally hate BBQ - there is very few non-BBQ choices. The shorty corn on the cob's were bland, like straight out of the freezer.

I went here with my sister on Christmas Eve. This is basically the kind of place that makes the south side the south side (or, in this case, the south 'burbs). And in a weird way, makes me proud to be...

I like my ribs smoky and meaty, and that's exactly how the pit serves them. Nothing from the appetizers really grabbed me. I think the best thing to do is keep your eye on the meat. The only downer...
