KC Pit BBQ is a family owned business with the owners originating from Kansas City, MO. a husband & wife team who lived in Atlanta for several years before deciding to open a BBQ restaurant. The question was, "do we open a new restaurant in Kansas City or Atlanta?" Well, as everyone knows, there are BBQ restaurants on every corner in Kansas City. So...the decision to bring the concept to Atlanta was born! The main Chef who has 26 years BBQ experience moved from Kansas City as well. We gathered up five other Kansas City crew members, found an awesome location in Sandy Springs, GA and opened the doors in March of 2003!

Lick-Smacking Good  4 Star Rating - Very good

Ohhhh, I can't wait to get to this place. The service is great. The employees are friendly, and patient with helping a customer with their selection. The collard greens are to die for. I have taken several slabs of ribs home. The pricing is very reasonable for a family of two. I go to this restuarant at least twice a month.

Feel Good Place 2Eat 5 Star Rating - World class

All I can say is WOW! I went to KC Pit for Lunch with some co-workers and the food was yummy:) It was so good that even the horrible parking couldn't change my mind. I had to bring my family in for dinner and try more items on their menu. I was surprised to find out it was a live Jazz band playing that friday night.The Music was great and entertaining My bar drinks were WONDERFUL! Everyone was so cheerful and nice from the cashiers to the servers and we even got up and did the special staff dance with them at the end of the night. In ALL I had a BLAST and will be back for more. Cant wait to see the new location.

Pros: I love the jazz food and bar drinks
Cons: parking

Friday Night at KC Pit 5 Star Rating - World class

Having finally heeded my friend's rave reviews about KC Pit, I now realize what I was missing the many times I drove passed the restaurant. The warm welcome we received as we entered the door was just a hint of the outstanding customer service we would receive throughout the evening. As this was the first time, our server recommended the KC Plate that allowed us to sample the ribs and other meats. WOW! It was all wonderful.

I confess we stayed longer at our table than might have been resonable but the band was so good and the prevailing atmosphare was such that it was difficult to leave. If you are looking for top quality cue, a great place to eat and enjoy live jazz, then you simply have to try KC Pit. And don't leave it too long and end up with regrets like me.

Pros: Great food, wonderful people
Cons: Usual Friday wait, parking

One Word.... AWESOME! 5 Star Rating - World class

This restaurant has got to be Atlanta's best kept secret! I had heard people talk about it before but never tried it out. Three of my friends and I finally visited on a Friday night and WOW! The food is the absolute BEST BBQ (and fish) anywhere, the service was outstanding and we loved the atmosphere! They have a full bar also which is a nice touch. We were not expecting such great food and service, and were pleasantly surprised! Can't wait for the bigger, new location to open! We will be back here on a regular!

Pros: Food, Service, Bar
Cons: None!

Great Staff and BBQ Cooking 5 Star Rating - World class

KC Pit impressed me today so much with their great customer service and friendly staff (including bringing out hot moist towellettes at the end of the meal). A chopped BBQ sandwich and side for lunch for 4.99 was a steal. Take that Subway. I also tried the ribs, which were just right. Flavorful and the skin was just a little chewy and delicious. The chopped pork was excellent and tasted like it was slow cooked and tender. Better than pulled pork for the texture, and the spicy sauce was good. Only complaint would be the brisket which was cut with the grain making it less tender. It was a little dry and bland. The sweet sauce was also very sweet (too sweet for me). Definately will return and recommend!

Pros: Well-cooked BBQ and EXCELLENT staff
Cons: Parking
