What Guests Are Saying
The three meat plate was pretty good. The brisket was tender and tasted good without any sauces. Chicken a little dry and under seasoned but still okay. The bratwurst was good with their selection of housemade sauces like the mustard and sweet and hot bbq sauce. The pickles were a little limp but onions in the pickles gave it an overall crunch. 4 cheese Mac and cheese was one of the best I’ve had but the cornbread had left little to be desired dry and flavorless but it was only $1 can’t complain really. Pricing was good for the amount of food and we sat outside so it was nice and peaceful. Staff was helpful with giving us directions to all the places to sit and we came up to the bar to order and food came out fast.
We worked with Blue Pit to provide catering for our Wedding Reception in August of '26. The Blue Pit team was absolutley incredible from the start - from the moment we did our tasting we knew we wanted to work with them. During planning, they helped us us map out exactly how much food we would need. Every aspect of the food was absolutely delicious. We appreciated the variety of proteins (the ribs and chopped brisket were my favorite) and there were good options for our vegetarian guests as well. Our guests continue to let us know how much they enjoyed everything. We can't wait to come back to Baltimore and have dinner here again. Highly recommend working with them for your next event!
I was really excited to try Blue Pit BBQ after seeing it named Maryland’s 2026 Best BBQ Joint, but my experience was super disappointing. Service was friendly and welcoming upon walk-in, but that was the best part of our experience. The food sadly did not match the reputation. EVERYTHING came out lukewarm, the brisket was overcooked and dry, cornbread was burnt and hard, greens had no seasoning, and the baked beans were overwhelmingly vinegary. The bratwurst was underwhelming with no real snap, and even the B-side drink was way too sour. The mac & cheese and coffee BBQ sauce were the only good items of our entire meal. I really hope the kitchen staff was having an uncommon off-day, because this visit didn’t reflect the recognition at all. Our meal was a compete letdown, so I hope they improve for future diners soon. PS - There is an upstairs and a downstairs, but if you sit upstairs, you have to order your food downstairs - they do bring the food up to you though.
