The pulled pork and brisket were OK, but the ribs were totally burned. I have not had such bad smoked ribs until now. No longer worth the drive. Time to look for anew place.

We had nearly 100 guests, and EVERY one asked where we had ordered the food from, they loved it. Rosti andhis team made everything so easy. They were extremely helpful, worked with our budget, delivered on time. And of course the BBQwas delicious. It always is! My husband and I will drive the 20 mins out of our way, just to grab takeout from this spot. It istotally worth it.

I love BBQ (I travel to TX to get it! This place will save me from having to travel so far! I got the 1lb brisket, baked beans, coleslaw (both , fries and had some grilled corn and mashed potatoes. The brisket was delicious! I gota sample while I waited for my order… so good! I got a nice fatty piece of meat and it melted in my mouth! So good! The beanswere good. I love BB, it did need some BBQ sauce (I’m a fan of the southern way but it tasted great with or without it. Theyhave three different types of BBQ sauce; regular, honey or spicy… they were all good but personally I like the honey as it hada little kick to it. The coleslaw was like any other place. The cornbread was tasty and had great flavor. The mashed potatoeshad a good taste to them, wasn’t my fave but the fries were and they were nice and crispy. I’m picky about fries and thesecame out great! The Mac and cheese had a nice flavor, it’s made to order so it wasn’t baked like most BBQ places. But with alittle BBQ sauce… delicious! This place os definitely worth if you are in the mood for BBQ! There is no dining in, so beprepared to eat in the car!

The cornbread was delicious—I just wished I had a larger piece! The vinegar coleslaw was among the freshest and crunchiest I’ve ever tasted. The chicken tenders were massive and fried to perfection; dipping them in the sauce made them absolutely perfect. Note that it’s takeout only, but this place is truly a hidden gem in Wakefield—who would have thought!

I don’t quite understand the high rating. Both of us found the meat dry, under seasoned, and had a very overpowering charcoal like flavor. When we make our own ribs or brisket they get a generous rub and basting of sauce and are fall apart tender by the time they’re done. The meat at Pit Stop was tough, and left a bad after taste. We ended up opting not to eat most of it, unfortunately. The sides were all good mac cheese, cornbread, coleslaw all tasty and well made. Our search for good New England BBQ continues!
