The Wood Pit Barbecue

Literally almost ruined my familys thanksgiving today.. Lucky ima chef n pre prepared for bullshit to happen....we ordered a fried turkey to be picked up called yesterday to re insure...boss says he is going to pick up more turkeys for tomorrow....ok cool everything sounds good...get up this morning to drive all the up there and who would of knew no fried turkeys.. But they got smoked turkeys....then he tried to act like its same thing!! After he said we order for last week...wait what? Then said we order a smoked turkey, which is totally wrong said we order for the 18th wtf why? N wrong .wrong again i called the 25th, then they said they called us serval times..its 2015 where your phones shows your call history not a damn missed call...not once trying to please the customer at all....this is the worst place ive ever been too....with the most disrespect i wouldnt want them cooking my food n the nerve of the attitude they gave... Lucky i have a turkey defrosted in the fridge to save the day...dont waste your time

Got some ribs, brisket and chicken to go. Didn't realize just how amazing everything would be. Even after a 30 minute drive home, the brisket was tender, the ribs were perfect and the chicken was the best bbq chicken I've ever had. Amazing stuff!

Never ever ever again the food tasted old and potatoe salad taste like it was brought from shoprite. Not hot at all. I call the next day to complain to the manager he had an attitude.

Horrible, absolutely horrible...I ordered two pulled pork sandwiches with their hot barbecue sauce and a side of "mac & cheese" but in reality what I got was some unsauced chopped pork in a Styrofoam container with two pieces of white bread and some bland a** macaroni with no cheese. White bread?? Are you kidding me?? Burger King makes a better pulled pork sandwich and these people! How could you not be embarrassed to even serve it like that? Oh that's right because these people clearly don't care or know anything about serving their customers REAL barbecue food. From Texas to New Orleans to the Carolinas, never have I been served a pulled pork sandwich on f***ing white bread. Certainly not worth 20 bucks or my business again. They should call this place "BBQ..the way poor people eat it"

We read the latest edition of NJ Monthly (7/2015)-- the BBQ edition, and decided to try the Wood Pit. We called first, to make sure they were open. They said yes, so we hopped in the car and drove from Morris County to Montclair. Parked our car on the street and made our way to the restaurant, The front door was propped open and we walked right in. Even with the door open, the smoky smell was overpowering. There appeared to be only one woman working there. She was toward the back chopping meat. Three of four couples were milling around. No one had been waited on and two women were mumbling something about waiting there forever to be waited on. After 15 minutes from our arrival the woman chopping meat (for a rather substantial take out order) informed us they weren't serving plated meals - just fulfilling take out orders. We were quite upset because we had called 45 minutes earlier, right before we set out for Montclair, and they said they were open. My take is that several large take out orders came in between the time we called and when we arrived, and they decided to fulfill those instead of waiting on in-restaurant patrons. Regardless of how good their BBQ might be, there's no excuse for this kind of terrible customer service. Also, the place is a real dive. Not that this bothers us so much, some of the best BBQ places we've been to in Texas were pretty divey, but this place has such poor ventilation you might as well be sitting in the smoker yourself. It can't be healthy to work there. If we ever drive back to Montclair to try this place again, it will be strictly for take out.
