Visited the Mesquite Pit for Saturday lunch. Ordered the Armadillo eggs (very tasty brisket stuffed fried jalapenos) to start, followed by st. Louis style ribs. Party also got chopped beef and pork chop. All the entrees were delicious. Of the sides, the mashed potatoes, onion rings, and green beans were standouts. And the bread is delicious! Awesome atmosphere and huge portions will not disappoint. 5/5 can't wait to return.

Simply fantastic BBQ! We were looking for a authentic Texas BBQ restaurant and we found it at the Mesquite Pit. Service was great as our server was friendly and prompt. The food hit all the marks just by saying it was amazingly good. Parking could be limited and wait times could be long during busy periods, but well worth it. Make sure you go there extra hungry!

Great place for mesquite grilled steaks and chicken. It's a pretty big place and there is a neon sign out front that tells you if immediate seating is available. Really good grits too!

I usually go to Mesquite pit in the town where I live in Granbury but my uncle was turning 95 and we had his 95th birthday at the one in Weatherford. This was to accommodate people from all over. My first time there. There were about 35 of us and the staff was very accommodating, very friendly, and the food was excellent. A very good time had by all. Thank you so much.

10/10 would go back again Homemade rolls and cornbread were delicious Allll smoked meats were delicious They have CHICKEN FRIED BACON need I say more? Prices VERY reasonable. 3 smoked meat combo platter only 19.99 and the portions are generous! I got the smoked sausage, sliced brisket and ribs. My beau got brisket X’s 2 and smoked sausage. He got potato salad and fried okra for his sides. I got potato salad and coleslaw. My coleslaw was amazing and very fresh. They had just made it. I’m a huge stickler for delicious coleslaw with my bbq and it really hit it home for me. Gosh there’s so much to mention. Oh, I added on 2 bacon wrapped shrimp for 4.99 and OH MY GAWSH. Definitely do that. They had delicious brewed sweet PEACH tea too which I personally loved. My only cons are they have these beautiful homemade cornbread muffins and homemade dinner rolls and they serve them with “spread” or margarine. I do not eat margarine or any butter substitutes so that was kind of a big disappointment but I would still go back. The other thing is that I hated the BBQ sauce. They only had one kind. I just think that’s crazy for a place like this to only have one kind. It tasted like it had a lot of cumin in it and it was more like steak sauce than bbq. I just wish they would’ve had a more traditional bbq like say…MESQUITE? Lol since their name is Mesquite Pit?? One more down side is they didn’t have turkey or chicken as a choice for smoked meat. Oh! Can’t forget our server! She was amazing. We sat at the bar and she was a great server. Hustler to be exact. She made us feel very welcome and very well taken care of. She was really pleasant and very attentive. I would definitely stop here if you have the chance. Me and my beau are truck drivers and we bobtailed one of our over there from the TA bc a cab would’ve cost $30 round trip to go 3 miles and there were no Ubers or lyfts. Great experience all and all and if we get the chance we will absolutely show up there again. Very very nice place! Great service, great food, great atmosphere and VERY Texas!

I love the food, service and prices for the food. I’ve eaten almost everything on the menu and it was always excellent taste, temperature and flavor. I highly recommend you go there and try anything on the menu and you’ll be hooked. We have a steak on the weekend and it’s always cooked perfectly.
