Shigs In Pit

This place was EXCELLENT!! Been to a fair bit of BBQ restaurants and I have to say this place is one of the best. Gives any of the restaurants in Indy a run for their money.Stopped in here on a whim and was pleasantly suprised.The Ribs were out of the world, the sauces all tasted so fresh, the baked beans were amazing, Mac and Cheese was too.If I were to knock it at all, I'd say the green beans were just okay.Great old style ambiance inside too and the service was friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back

Went here six years ago and can't believe took me so long to come back, but hey I'm not from around here! Incredible tap and growler takeout selection, Friday ten buck fills deal is the best I know of. This is the spot to try and discover new delightful stouts, peach wheats, and more. I did both. The Nitro Stout was brooding, bitter, bold, and throwing down all without apology. Most everyone liked the peach ale much better, fine for me too but past weekend had me in that black is best and can't go back mood. From what I recall six years ago, BBQ and sides are rocking, can get very busy and slow during the rush. Best to time your arrival with the Google traffic and busy meters. This is a woody and enjoyable atmosphere with great staff. Easy to recommend!

If you are in the mood for a great BBQ dinner or meal this is one of the best places in town. We have been several times and we have never been disappointed. Name it a half rack dinner with 2 sides, brisket, pulled pork nachos or fries, everything is simply delicious. We never have to wait long to get our food in our table. Servers are always cleaning up or asking if we need anything. And if you want to watch a game or have a cold beer. This is your place as well. Enjoy!

Beautiful place inside. The food smells amazing. Staff was quick & friendly. My nachos were watered down with little meat, unfortunately. The pork rinds were bland, but the mac & cheese was delicious.

I really like the bbq salad here. I change it up a bit and get pulled pork but the corn bread croutons are my favorite. I wish there was a smaller size that came with a side though. Or a build your own salad option. You order at the counter and clear your own table so the service is quick serve. The decor is cool though, I like the metal and wood look.

Downright awesome BBQ...My wife is from the south, and Shigs In Pit rivals it all (no joke)... We just moved to Fort Wayne and we're shocked at the BBQ. We've been to Shigs in Pit several times now and the BBQ is always excellent with great beer (courtesy of Mad Anthony's)... The restaurant is new, clean, and has a really good atmosphere. We generally get the ribs and pulled pork, but tried the jalapeño sausage this time, which was really good. Also, all of the sides are very good as well.... Highly recommend Shigs in Pit if you're looking for some good BBQ and brew.

Ships n Pit never disappoint! The experience CAN be a bit inconsistent, but I'm a huge fan of more well done meat. On the occasions where it's very well done and got some char to it they're a 11/10, even without a 9 is pretty solid! I'm always shocked by what appear as small portions, but hardly even end up finishing what I order due to the density and high quality of the meat they use.

Stopping at Shigs In Pit on our drive back to Grand Rapids from Dayton is becoming something of a tradition. Nate and I have been there four times now, and it's usually great. This time I decided to try some different menu items which I think is where I went wrong.I really wanted to try their brisket, but didn't necessarily want a whole platter or a sandwich. Unfortunately they don't offer any meat by weight unless you're getting takeout... which I don't really get, but okay. I decided to get the one meat platter with the green chile mac and cheese and fries. I also got some wings with the Carolina mustard sauce. Nate got the pulled pork sandwich, as usual.The food is brought out to your table and it's always been quick. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious - I always say I should just get that next time. The pork is flavorful and juicy, and you can add any of their four house sauces that are at the table. I usually really like their smoked wings but have always gotten them with the dry rub. The Carolina mustard sauce was just way too vinegary for both of us. I usually like this type of sauce a lot, so that was a little disappointing. Finally, the brisket was not what I was expecting. It was sliced super thin and when I asked for a fattier cut when ordering, I was basically told they couldn't do that. I have asked this at other BBQ places so I'm not sure how they do it here. The brisket itself was okay. I just am used to thicker slices with more bark and a bit more flavorful. The mac and cheese and fries were great and we usually get them every time.We'll still keep stopping at this Shigs In Pit, but next time I'll stick with the pulled pork sandwich and dry rub wings.

Arrived around 12:15pm on a Saturday. The place was half full. Inside décor was rustic. Kind of like a barn. I didn't have to wait long after entering. I was asked dine in or carry out. I wanted dine in. She asked what I would like, and I said I would like to try some of the beer you have on tap. I was directed to the bar section. The bar tender asked if I wanted a dine in menu with the drink menu? Yes. It looked like there were around 20 beers on tap. I chose a pint of the Irish Red. Man was it delicious! I love a good red beer. After looking over the food menu I ordered the chopped smoked chicken. A side of apple pie baked beans and green Chile mac n cheese. The meal also came with a slice of garlic toast. Everything was delicious. My food was delivered within ten minutes. The cost was just under $23.00. I would definitely like to try some of there other menu items! I only had two small complaints:1. When the bar tender asked me if I wanted another beer, I said "No, I'm ready to go." Instead of going to get my bill, she went over to another customer to finish their conversation on television shows. 2. I asked to order a 4 pack of the Irish red to take with me. The bartender told me I had to do that at carry out. Okay. I head over to carry out after paying the bartender for my drink and meal. Carry out tells me I have to order the 4 pack at the bar. I replied the bartender told me I had to do it at carry out. Carry out finally rings me up. I pay and am told I have to pick it up at the bar! What kind of kangaroo operation is this place running?

Some of the best bbq in the 260. Fair prices, good service, great food, friendly waitstaff, overall just a good spot. Plus the mug club is a cool touch
