Port A Pit Bbq - Statesville

A secret bbq spot in Statesville. They usually provide catering service, so they only open 3 days a week. Smoke chicken and side of potato is my favorite. Chicken is not dry even for chicken breast. If you need more flavor then there are some bbq sauce that you can dip into. Everything is good honestly but smoke chicken or wings are wonderful. Big portion of food for reasonable price

The ribs and chicken are ALWAYS on point. I also had the banana pudding, peach cobbler and cherry yum yum -delicious. I’m always pleased with my service

Love port-a-pit! Always get their half chicken and their squash casserole is a must! Employees are always so kind!

Very disappointed. I haven't eaten there in years, and apparently it's gone downhill. The BBQ didn't taste well, not like BBQ should, and it was tough and stringy. On the other hand, the sides did taste good. We got a lot for the money, but the BBQ taste and smell was less to be desired.

Someone mentioned Port-a-pit last week and I had been wanting some ever since so we decided to go there for lunch today. I'm sure glad we did! A coworker got the 1/2 chicken with BBQ slaw and beans and was well pleased with it all. Another coworker got the ribs and bbq plate with pit roasted potatoes and baked beans with an extra side of bbq slaw. First thing she tried was the potatoes and her eyes lit up and she was very impressed with the perfect texture and amazing flavor and she also bragged how good the ribs were. I got the rib plate with the pit potatoes and turnip greens. The ribs were perfectly cooked and delicious, the potatoes were amazing as well, and the greens didn't even vinegar they were already so flavorful! Only issue was the side of bbq slaw. It was a very small container and the container was only filled half full for $4. That's a little ridiculous, but it did taste good she said. Overall it was a worthy trip for some delicious lunch! We'll definitely be back!!
