Bob's Bar-B-Q Pit

If you're looking for the most delicious BBQ and sides check out Bob's Bar-B-Q Pit! We ordered a bbq pork sandwich (delicious!!) and "The Real Deal" which was ribs (but they ran out so we got rib tips instead) two sides and cornbread. The meat was so tender, nicely smoked flavor that was not overpowering, drizzled with a tangy bbq sauce. The sides we chose were Mac and cheese and greens. Both tasted amazing! Cornbread was also very good! We had a nice chat with the owner Jonathan who was so friendly and hospitable! What a great family business that we will definitely support again and again. They're incredible chefs and you will not be disappointed with the fantastic food they serve!

my experience with Texas BBQ is very central texas/ hill country, so to me, this is a different take on Texas BBQ. Very Saucy. Some days you can find these folks out at the smoker turning meat and mopping it with sauce. This is a family run little dive. Folks were happy to help me navigate the menu and make a choice. There's not a whole lot of space to eat inside, and there are a couple seats outside on nice days. I wouldn't depend on eating there. Food automatically comes in a to-go container.

They've been around forever and staff was very friendly. The food was iffy. My link was undercooked and the Mac and cheese was watery so I didn't finish it.

If you're looking for quality bbq, look no further. This is a family owned joint. It's small but delicious- I loved the rib tips!

This is a fantastic, family-owned, local business that has graced our Hilltop neighborhood for decades. Anybody who has driven along S. 11th on Weekends has certainly gotten a whiff of the smoky goodness that comes out of this tiny, unassuming place. My dining partner and I have been recently getting weekly take-out to explore local places (and he's not yet ready to eat indoors) and find new favorites. I'm so happy we tried Bob's.We were greeted in such a friendly way by the matriarch and steady rock of the place. Our pick up order was ready in a few minutes and the spicy BBQ sauce is our favorite sauce we've ever had. My DP is a big meat eater and really enjoyed the meat sampler he ordered. I think the ribs were his favorite. There were lots of 'nummy' sounds coming from his side of the table. I loved the sides. We ordered the creamy mac-n-cheese, zesty baked beans with just enough spice and little vinegary zing, creamy coleslaw and collard greens that my DP said were the best he's ever had! We also had corn muffins and they were moist and fantastic.We will definitely be back!S

Our first time here. Food is on point! Legit Soul Fool! *Keep in mind this may not be considered Texas/Kansas style BBQ, this is honest to God Soul Food!* The mac & cheese and greens do not disappoint.Service is great, lovely little family-owned/run shop.Ambiance is typical of an eatery, small dining area with about 6 dual-seat tables. It would be difficult to feed a family of more than 4 people, however, they specialize in take out anyway.

Just go there! Fantastic food and a great atmosphere. Loved the burnt ends and mac and cheese. We spent most of our time talking with Bob's daughter, Mrs. Clark, who sits at the front of the restaurant greeting the customers, most of whom she knows by name. The history of how Bob's BBQ Pit came to be and the continued family tradition was fascinating. Tacoma is lucky to have them. We will back often.

native Texan looking for connections to my Texas roots which includes smoked BBQ Texas style. i sat with Kay and talked about growing up in Texas and learning hardcore BBQ'ing from my dad! She and her family were a delight to chat with and I'm highly impressed with the food I'll be bringing family and friends here to chowTim from Texas

Absolutely stellar, coming from a Mississippian! We had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, baked beans, Mac n cheese, peach cobbler, corn bread, and sweet tea. Everything was OUTSTANDING! All the meats were tender and super flavorful. The sauce was vinegar based but not too runny (and they have varying heat options in case you like it mild or spicy). Sides were fabulous! Sweet tea is the best I've had in nearly a decade. Peach cobbler was perfect hot or cold. I mean just stop reading this and go eat there. And speak to Miss Kay if she's at her table by the front. She is amazing and has a lot of the history of the restaurant to share if you're curious!

On the strength of my Mom telling me about a BBQ joint in Tacoma, she saw on the news and had been in business for 70 years, I decided to check them out. I ordered a slab of ribs and a two meat plate for my Mom. The slab of ribs were chewy to tough, partially burnt and not truly BBQ'd. The medium flavored sauce was good.The dinner platter came with chicken, two cut up wieners disguised as hot links. The hot links tasted like hot dogs and the chicken was old tasting and dry again and partially burnt.The potato salad looked runny and could pass for banana pudding in appearance. My Mom said the greens & baked beans were good. I agreed the baked beans were good.I wish them the best and hope they one day get back to low slow cooking because hot n fast bar-b-que is just grilling and thats what I got served some sub par grilled meats. Overall I can not recommend this place as a BBQ establishment and they will not receiving anymore of my money. $90 including the tip I should've kept!
