Chesapeake Bbq Company - Pasadena

The food that was served to us, shouldn't have been. The meat was dry and not fresh. We had the baked beans, tasted like canned pork and beans with chickpeas. Unfortunately, this was our first time and sadly our last time.

I'm not a guy who enjoys giving a bad review, I know is hard to stay consistent when you have employees, but ya gotta do better than that. We had both pit food and smoked food (supposedly), the sandwich didn't taste ANYTHING like a sandwich off a pit. I truly think the brisket was cooked in an oven, NO SMOKE flavor at all. Boardwalk fries, my a& , the collared greens were good. I'd certainly love to support and enjoy local places, but not this one sorry.

After a few visits to Chesapeake this will be my last. I think they have a lot of people that know nothing about bbq fooled. My pictures are of 2 different visits. The first is a brisket I got and really dont know what it even was. The second photo is from today. The brisket was basically beef jerky. And not sliced in the right direction. Im not sure when it was smoked but no pit was running today which is odd for a friday at lunch time (prime business hours). Looks like

Service was good, very welcoming. Chef was eating the whole time while preparing orders which made my stomach churn. Long beard with no hair guard as well which I didn?t appreciate.I know it?s a small business so I wanted to show my support but was left moderately disappointed. Food was OK at best. Needs a little more TLC for a BBQ joint.

On the way to Curtis Bay warehouse location. Was skeptical at first?.. saw the smoker and fresh chopped wood. The smell, THE SMELL was amazing. Tried the brisket and macaroni and cheese. Brisket was great. Awesome rub and flavor, great smoke ring and very tender. Greens were okay?. Staff was very friendly. Great BBQ spot.
