Dragon Pit BBQ

I was pleasantly surprised how great this little BBQ place was. We arrived around 3:45 to have an early dinner since my best friend and I were attending a play next door.This was our first time here. Being first timers we weren't aware that the drink and food orders were done, at the bar. We grabbed a table near the window and we simply waited. The bartender dropped off two menus and then we waited. I think there should be signage directing first time customers the following: please seat yourselves. All orders are taken at the bar. Basically the only time we saw the bartender was when she dropped off the food, or our drinks. We ordered the Pit Platter which consisted of pulled pork, brisket, and chicken. We chose 2 sides which were collard greens and lemon dita fries. There is a table located near, the kitchen that has BBQ sauce, napkins, and cups & water. Our food was delivered without any silverware which we had to ask for. Then I needed a knife to cut the platter, so that my friend and I could split up our portions. I found out about the table and BBQ sauce when I asked if I could have napkins and BBQ sauce. I just don't think that a first timer customer should have to figure out, what to do, when first attending a restaurant. I like my experiences at restaurants to be great ones. I consider dining out to be something that is special and I never take it for granted. It is expensive to eat out so I want it to be worth it.I will definitely try this restaurant again. The hours are only open until 5 so they are open for breakfast, lunch and an early dinner.Food was great, experience not so great. Now that I am aware of what to do, when I go I will know that I need to get my napkins, BBQ sauce and where to order so that I'm not sitting around waiting for someone to come to my table.

I heard good things about this place, so I thought I'd give it a try. Relatively new, they naturally smoke all our meat to perfection. I ordered the brisket sandwich with mac & cheese, brisket, tender, and juicy, and the mac & cheese, very rich and creamy they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner I might have to stop here before work and try the breakfast burrito. A little pricey, but most businesses are adjusting to the economy. Plenty of parking, and outdoor seating available.

For black history month I did a search for black owned businesses and was excited to see a bbq place in Racine! I read all of the reviews and all 9 were 5 star reviews, so I was very eager to try it out! The restaurant is located in an old bank on Ann street right off of Washington (Hwy 20). There are a couple of parking lots behind the business, so there is ample parking. They have a drive thru available. Please double check their hours as they are a bit non-traditional. Closed on Saturdays and Mondays. Open until 1 PM on Sundays and 5 PM Tuesdays-Fridays. They have weddings there, so I assume they do them evenings and on Saturdays. The inside is very nostalgic with it being an old bank. It looks like a very quaint location for weddings. As I was walking up to the restaurant, I was hit with wonderful smells of bbq and my mouth instantly began to water! As soon as you walk in the entrance there is an order counter to your left. It appears that most of their business is carry out, which is fine. I guess I am the type that prefers a full service place when it comes to bbq. If you eat inside there is just one long row of tables set up like a community table with benches on either side. They serve your food in to-go containers. The staff were all super friendly and helpful!! I ordered the spare rib platter which comes with two sides. I got coleslaw and mashed potatoes. I think maybe my expectations were running too high. The food was solid, but with all 9 reviews being 5 star, I think I was expecting it to be the best bbq I have ever had. My ribs and mashed potatoes were not real warm when I got them. The flavor in all of my food was good, but nothing wowed me. I would eat here again if in the area, but with knowing the layout and style of the restaurant, I would not make a special trip down from Milwaukee.

Omg can I say that was an amazing experience. No extraordinary is the word to day. That brisket sandwich was like no other and the spicy cubano makes your mouth start on fire. I'll be back in 2 weeks

Went there for lunch. First time at a new joint so I like to try the staple stuff first. Had the tips and a side of hush puppies. Tips were very flavorful and smoked to perfection. A few pieces of meat were a bit chewy but all in all very good tasting. BBQ sauce came on the side and was equally good. Sweet and smoky. Hush puppies were trash r I woulda gave em 5 stars. They had good flavor just fell apart when bit into them. Love their menu because it's short and sweet. Next time I pass thru Racine I'll try the brisket, macncheese, and greens.

Very good bbq! I usually don't take time to review places but that must mean something because here I am! Very hard to find good bbq around this area. I usually drive 50 minutes to go to LDs in East Troy. Found out about this spot from my neighbor and it didn't disappoint! Great food, service and clean atmosphere. I had the ribs, brisket, lemon pepper fries, Mac and cheese and hush puppies! I will be back!

Great food. Great people. Awesome, tasty and huge breakfast burritos. Among the best I've had. Anywhere, not just in (good food desert) Racine.

Food was ok meat felt mushy in your mouth but the flavor is there just not the consistency you want

OMG so good!! Everything we had was so good and so much food!! Had the Pit Platter, Spicy Fried Chicken, Jambalaya, Jollof rice. Can't wait to come back. And the sauces are amazing. Everything home made. Do yourself a favor and eat here. We will be back soon. Ate too fast for pictures. Maybe next time.

Absolutely the best place for anything on their menu! Breakfast, bbq, sides. Everything is so good you can't wait to go back.
