One of my favorite eateries! A nice variety of freshly made food and everything done right!! You want healthy, try a powerbowl you want something crazy good, get the knish burger or the "all the way" burger. The panini's are freaking awesome, I recommend the cuban or turkey jalapeño and also, try a milkshake you won't regret it.
Feels silly calling the pit stop a hidden gem when it’s been featured on the food network, but that’s exactly what it is. From the outside it looks like an unassuming burger joint, but stepping inside its quickly apparent there’s so much more going on. We started with the sides of their delicious house made soup along with a fresh summer salad. A delicious clam chowder and probably the best butternut squash soup I’ve ever had. Split a simple yet perfectly done steak sandwich as well as some phenomenal brisket tacos that were on special. The homemade sauces perfectly complimented the delicious tacos. These should be added to the menu IMO. After hearing another table raving over the homemade coconut cream cheese cake we forced ourselves to order that and an apple turnover. OMG THE BE
Wanted to try a new place, so I stopped by pitstop. This place brings an old school feel with it's decor. The counter person was very nice and polite. I ordered some spicy wings and fries which were great. The wings were seasoned well all the way through. I would recommend you stop by and try them out. They also have fresh cooked food here as well, with the chefs right where you can see them working. Very nice place.
Small restaurant off the side of sunrise highway. Has lots of food and drink options. The place is very friendly and homey. There's a number of healthy food options like the power bowls and salads. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Got the steak cheese sandwich on garlic bread And I got food poisoning from it!! FACT!! TRUTH on December 30th 2025 I wouldn’t advise anyone to eat there! I got GI food poisoning from them! They say they have strict guidelines, but it’s bullshit. I wouldn’t have gotten sick from it, coming from a Chef for nine years of a local Italian restaurant! Don’t get fooled guys or you will end up in the hospital like me for two days at Mount Sinai Oceanside… THE TRUTH HURTS 💩💩💩💩💩 Time to call the Health Department
