I visited tonight to just pick up a snack...one beef rib. It didn't have much meat for four bucks plus tax. Bought my father a gift card from Oak Pit for Christmas and the first time I went to use it for him, I ordered 3 beef ribs, a large potato salad and fries (over the phone). Got there and... More

Good Q doesn't need sauce, cause it's fully seasoned and properly cooked to begin with. This place has good Q... we got our pulled pork and tri tip by the pound to go. Sauce on the side (we never even used it). Very reasonably priced. The best smoked tri tip we've had in a long time. More

The Oak Pit is one of those small BBQ places "up on the Mesa" as locals say. About 7 minutes from downtown Arroyo Grande. The staff is friendly. The menu limited. Food is just average for a BBQ joint. I found the sauce too sweet. Portions are average. Price is average. The outdoor seating area allows smoking. Major turnoff. Indoor... More

We had oak pit BBQ last night, and the food was very good. I had a tri-tip sandwich and I tasted the pulled pork sanwich and both were excellent. I wish the sanwich was over-the-top loaded with meat and dripping with sauce. I like my BBQ messy! They have what seemed to be home made BBQ sauce which I loaded... More

My wife and I stopped here this afternoon for a quick Sunday sandwich to take home. We were not disappointed with the sandwiches, they were piled high with tritip and had a great smokey BBQ flavor. The price was right and the service quick. We took the sandwiches home but could have eaten there, although the space within the restaurant... More

I'm not one to write reviews and such but my experience at Oak Pit BBQ moved me enough to write. I've been on a mission to find the best BBQ in the San Luis Obispo area and to my surprise, there's world class BBQ in Arroyo Grande. One rainy Saturday afternoon, my wife and I went out driving on the... More
