Blue Pit Smokehouse

We were visiting the area and found this sweet little spot by chance. It was clean, quick and so so delicious! They also give a slight discount for military, teachers and first responders. Would definitely recommend!

Caveat: we came in during an air show weekend and the restaurant had several orders from the air show but I have to rate them on our experience not on circumstances.We arrived just as they opened. There was no one to greet us for the first few minutes. Finally, someone came out from the back to let us know that they were busy, which sounded strange since they had just opened, but when they explained about the air show it made sense.The music is loud but that's expected. It is a bar after all...that serves barbecue. We ordered at the bar and sat down. BWE and I shared the Chuckwagon Classic Plate, and we added 1/3 lb of brisket. My son had the same Classic Plate. We got the beans and fries as our sides. When our food was brought to us, the server didn't give us utensils. We had to ask her for them. The portions seemed small. The brisket was not hot. It was room temperature. The fries and beans were just okay. We were underwhelmed. This is Texas. Our expectations were high but we were disappointed.It could be that the order from the air show overwhelmed them and left them little strength to give attention to our order so I'll give them a little grace and give them two stars instead of one. We won't be back.

Small bbq restaurant next to Bluebonnet Palace and you can smell the wonderful bbq from the parking lot. Pretty small inside but there are outdoor seatings. They didn't have enough servers in my opinion as the person running the cash register also delivered the food. The food tasted great and the portion size is bigger than you think it would be. I would say it was a little more salty than most bbq foods I have had but it didn't ruin the meal. If you ever out in Selma, or waiting for a concert at Bluebonnet Palace, the Blue Pit Smokehouse is a must try

Outstanding BBQ! Drove through a small industrial area in Selma to get to this place, and it's connected to a Mexican food restaurant as well. Noticed upon entrance, a humongous outdoor space connected to both restaurants which included plenty of outdoor seating tables and a stage. It must get busy on the weekends and I assume there's entertainment. Friendly greeting upon entering and seat yourself. Lots of TVs with Chive and enjoyed the country music in the background. Excellent service! Our server was friendly and checked on us frequently. Complimentary tortilla chips with a special seasoning and queso were brought to the table . I liked the seasoning. There's also a small complimentary condiment and BBQ sauce bar- which included onions, pickles, jalapeños, regular and spicy BBQ sauce. Pickles were nice and appeared home made. I dipped my meats in combos of both sauces, I enjoyed them both. We all ordered the two meat combos $18 with your choice of two sides and served with Texas toast. I ordered the brisket and pulled pork. Both were excellent! The brisket had a nice tiny fatty edge and was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork was deelish. Good portion size too. I enjoyed the beans, but the coleslaw not so much. The slaw was bland and had no flavor. Others at my table ordered the tater tots, which were highly seasoned and had a nice crunch. We were so full, had some leftovers for the next day. Great BBQ, great service!

Small little place but not popular so we were able to sit right away. Not like your traditional BBQ where you order from the counter and go sit, here you have wait staff which is nice so you are able to look over and talk about the food more. Had brisket, pulled pork which was good the sausage was a little dry but the sauce was good as well as all the sides.Overall a great place to go and enjoy when you want to get some BBQ and cobbler.

Seated immediately. Waitress was taking my order within a few minutes. Ordered a two meat plate with brisket, sausage, cola slaw and green beans.The regular sausage was not ready, all they had was jalapeño sausage so I changed to pulled pork.Nice and rustic, lots of wood inside.The brisket and the pulled pork were both outstanding!Portion size was very good as well. I normally get green beans due to their being low carb and don't really notice them but these got my attention! Not sure what they seasoned them with but I really liked their flavor.The coleslaw was also good, not overly sweet but crisp and fresh and seemed to taste a bit of apple. I have to say I will definitely be back next time I am in town. Excellent bar b que!!

Popped in for a quick lunch with the family. We ordered two of the BBQ plates, with brisket, chicken and sausage. Sides were potato salad, mac and cheese, and tator tots. Brisket was juciy and delicious, the chicken was spot on. Sausage was pretty good too. As for the sides, the tots and potato salad were great. The mac and cheese however was bland. Service was very friendly and the cost was very reasonable. Portions are pretty large and we shared the two plates between us and our kids, and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. Good place to eat and worth the stop!

Amazing.Great Service. Better food. Perfect vibe for dining. What more needs to be said.

Beans have no flavor. Layout is confusing and menu has no prices. Harmon's bbq is 1000% better. The service was solid but that may have been the only bright spot. Spend your money somewhere else unless you want a patio vibe for drinking

Good food and amazing ambiance. The outdoor seating is amazing. We will definitely return to try something else.
