The Smokey Pit Smoke House Eatery

We happened upon this place when we were in the area and looking for dinner. BBQ sounded good so we popped in. Nestled in what we thought was an industrial area is a hidden gem. The smell from the parking lot told us we were in for a treat. Highly recommend the pulled pork and the brisket and the smokey beans and the mac and cheese and ... well you get the idea. Pretty much everything on the menu is worth trying. We got the BBQ sauce but to be honest, the meat was far more flavorful and didn't need the sauce. Definitely go for the smokey beans over the baked beans. Don't forget the entertainment. We arrived on karaoke night (every other Friday). Go give JB and The Smokey Pit some love!

Best BBQ in Baton Rouge hands down. Will be coming back

The food is delicious. The staff are inviting and friendly. Each visit is on point.

One of Baton Rouge's hidden gems. If you love smokey bbq that does not require bbq sauce to give it flavor, this is the place for you. It's perfectly smoked and seasoned. I've had the leg quarter, whole catfish, salmon, jumbo wings, brisket, sausage, pork ribs, and rib tips and all were excellent. For sides, try the smoked sweet potato, jambalaya or smokey beans. The owner is extremely nice and the atmosphere is very laid back with pool tables and love jazz or karaoke on Friday nights. Check this place out. The food won't disappoint Vegetarian options: They have catfish and salmon some days. Call ahead. Parking: Parking spots directly in front of the building and along the side.

I'm so glad I learned about this place! I wish I could give more than 5 stars because my entire experience was awesome! The food the customer service are stellar. I look forward to visiting one weekend for live jazz. And of course the food. Brisket, yes please! ?
