Smoke BBQ Pit

The Fried Catfish were really good, chicken wings and roasted chicken were delicious. The ribs were ordered were OK. Am not sure if the potato salad and collard greens have been tailored for NYC market but both were watery and lacked flavor. The corn bread was tasty but had a very crumbly texture. Still a solid southern place in Queens that is reasonably priced with a lot of seating.

We went their for the first time. We was seated and 10 min waiting no-one came over to assist us. The place was not crowed. They are low staffed. I also received the wrong order. The food is okay not great just okay. Ribs,half chicken , collard greens,yams mash potatoes corn on cob coleslaw slaw is not good. is just okay. The service can definitely be better and no I will not be going back. We did not enjoy enjoy the food.

I recently ordered from The Smoke Pit, expecting a satisfying Southern meal based on their appealing photos and online menu, but unfortunately, my experience was profoundly disappointing. I ordered the fried shrimp, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams, and I wish I could say something positive—but the entire meal is now sitting in the trash, and I’ve lost my appetite altogether. The fried shrimp tasted alarmingly off. They were soft and had a spoiled taste, suggesting they had been left sitting for far too long. Fresh seafood has a certain bounce and crispness, and this sadly missed the mark entirely. The macaroni and cheese was even more underwhelming; it had the consistency of processed Velveeta and lacked any of the creamy, homemade appeal one would hope for. Lastly, the candied yams were a sugary, hard mess, with no tenderness or balance in flavor—just cloying sweetness and an unpleasant texture. Establishments like this shouldn’t put out glossy, carefully staged photos if they can’t even come close to delivering on taste and quality. As a customer, I feel misled, and I'm left with a lingering aftertaste that honestly makes me want to rinse my mouth out. I won’t be returning, and I advise others to think twice before ordering here. Certainly! Here’s a line you can add to the end: To make matters worse, I feel like I've completely wasted my money on food that was nowhere near worth the $35 price
