I have been to many BQQ restaurants, this spot serviced the best BQQ I have had in cali. I have eaten BQQ in the Midwest attending college & this spot reminded me of just that. The food portions were worth the amount & quality of pricing. Definitely recommend this spot for some great BBQ, you will be satisfied.

Haven't been too in a minute since the other one shut down. Ample seating and the food was just like how we remembered it. Not too noisy in there and the food out came relatively quickly. Oddly enough though i ordered half a salad and there was hardly any lettuce on there. I did get satisfied because we ordered onion rings as well

I've always heard that Chris & Pitts is the best BBQ in the area, but I had yet to try it. People always talked about how great it was, but it wasn't until a couple of different neighbors insisted we try it that we finally did. And it did not disappoint. I finally know where to get the best BBQ! The food was amazing, the service was great and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. I took my dad who was visiting, and he said that Chris & Pitts is worth an hour drive at least.

This restaurant has been around for over 70 years. This location is very historical and has all the original inhabitants. I ordered the baby back ribs with beans and corn. It was flavorsome. You get a good amount of food for the price you pay. Our waitress, Arlene was outstanding. She was funny, personable, attentive, accommodating, and professional. The restaurant has and old school ambiance with a barn-style look. Note: They have lunch specials for great prices. Large menu with plenty of items to choose from.great for gathering with family, friends, or co-workers.

If you want some old-school barbecue that your grandparents would've taken you to, this is the place for you. I always go for lunch because the portions are very generous and there's a good variety. I like the tenderness of the barbecue brisket and the blue cheese dressing is incredible. When I went, there was one waitress serving the restaurant and she was fast and efficient.

This is a throwback to the days of yore! The place takes you back to a different time where meals were big and meat was real! The ambiance is straight out of 1984 and that's a good thing. We were greeted and sat quickly and given the rundown of the large menu. We started with a half order of onion rings, which came with an amazing bbq-esque sauce. I ordered the chicken fried steak, which was greasy but tasty. Prices are a bit steep.
