best ribs around by William M. at InsiderPages

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.

Yelp.com Review - by cher b.

3.0 of 5 stars. 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.
