Reviews for Pitstop BBQ Wakefield in Wakefield, MA
Staff was great and fun! 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! Read more
Ordered pulled pork, brisket and a full rack of ribs. I think this place has gone downhill. 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. Read more
I would give it 6 stars if I could! Absolutely love this restaurant. My husband and I hosted a big family party, and Pit Stop... catered it for us. 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. Read more
Came in for the first time today with my husband. The food was absolutely delicious! Killer pulled pork, brisket and Mac and... cheese. Best we’ve had anywhere. Read more
My wife is from the south and we struggle to find good BBQ in New England. Some locals suggested Pit Stop so we took a drive and... gave it a try. I don’t quite understand the high rating. Both of us found the meat dry, under seasoned, and had a veryoverpowering charcoal-like flavor. When we make our own ribs or brisket they get a generous rub and basting of sauce and arefall-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 notto eat most of it, unfortunately. The sides were all good - mac & cheese, cornbread, coleslaw all tasty and well-made. Oursearch for good New England BBQ continues! Read more
I got brisket and pulled pork, while my girlfriend got fried chicken. We also got mac and cheese, baked beans, and corn on the... cob. The brisket wasn't that great. The pulled pork was pretty good. My girlfriend liked the chicken. However, my main pointof criticism was the BBQ sauce and the sides. The BBQ sauce flavor is alright, but the consistency was not great. Perhaps it'snot my style of BBQ, but I thought all of them used thicker bases than that. The mac and cheese was mediocre, and the beanswere again, not great. The corn on the cob was overcooked to hell. Perhaps it was just an off night, I'll try it again in thefuture. Read more
Got the THURSDAY ONLY special Rueben sandwiches. Thick slices of smoked brisket, homemade sauerkraut, piled high and grilled on... marble rye. Delicious! Woman working counter was smart and friendly and Covid protections were good. Conveniently located too.My only problem was getting in the front doors, very heavy and a steep step (I have MD so that was rough) Read more
Seriously, you won't find better smoked BBQ food around. Amazing people, amazing food, worth every penny and then some. Also... very dog friendly. You won't go wrong picking this spot Read more
