The Smokey Pit | Smoke House Eatery & Bar

Money Pit was recommended to me by a good close friend. She explained her and her family went there and the food was amazing. So my family and I decided to get take out from there. The ambience was beautiful. The restaurant was well put together with karaoke, pool tables an area for outside siding as well. The staff was amazing!! Polite and gave us a tour of the establishment. I was even given a courtesy call to ensure my pickup time so my food would be hot. My only issue was the food. I’m not sure if it was the end of day or what but the food was not it. I hand the beef rib that was mostly bone and the meat on the bone that I did have was tough and tasteless. My sisters both had brisket plates and they did not even finsh the food because of not taste. The Mac n cheese was ok at best and t

I’ve been craving BBQ all day prepping for the Southern vs FAMU game. I was greeted upon entrance and guided to the overhead menu. We spoke about the different types of dinners. Food was excellent and did not disappoint. I had the smoked brisket with Mac and Baked beans. You didn’t need any BBQ for the brisket. It was spot on from the tenderness down to the cuts. I look forward to bringing my family back to this spot.

I really wanted to like this place. The lady who greeted me was so nice and told me all about their hours and the various events they have. She also gave me a tour of the space, and it was really nice! A man, who I believe to be the owner, was also great and really friendly. My complaint is sadly with the food, though. I got brisket, potato salad, and baked beans. The brisket was quite bland, and the potato salad was somewhat gritty and had an underdone piece of potato in it. Maybe it was just an off day, but they were super friendly!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This place is a hidden gem. We happened upon them a couple of weeks ago and it was an awesome experience. I had the best meal I’ve had in a long time - pulled pork, mac & cheese, baked beans. Big portions too! And it was so much fun! The owner & his family gave us a tour of the place & it was full of fun. There was a little alcove with chairs, books & a piano in the front, a nice bar & dining area, pool table & vintage jukeboxes, radios, tv & cigarette machine. Outside is a picnic area with a stage. The Smoking Gun Smoker is a sight to behold as are the animal shaped ones. If I ever get to Baton Rouge, this is the first place I want to stop!

The Smokey Pit is a must-visit! Best bbq/smoked meat in town. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting, laid back atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. This place really has its own vibe…everything from the music, to the service, to the food, drinks… it’s just right. Play a game or two of pool while visiting!! Enjoy the lounging and the outdoor patio! The food? Simply outstanding. If you’re a BBQ lover…this is the spot! The flavors are rich, smoky, and mouthwatering! The standout dishes are, without a doubt, the perfectly smoked meats—fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender pulled pork, juicy brisket, and my personal favorite, the smoked catfish. One meal will have you coming back for more. But it’s not just about the meat; the sides are equally impressive. Let’s
