  1. can now have my two favorites together, good food and live music.
  2. Actually as quiet as its kept, I went back on Sunday and got a "To Go" order of chicken wings which were pretty good, but I'm still a fan of the Pork Ribs.
  3. While the food did taste decent once it finally arrived, it far from compensated for our unpleasant, lengthy experience at KC Pit.
  4. tried out the pork ribs on an all you can eat night and I was surprised that someone could make a rib as bad as Sonny's BBQ.
  5. Even the dessert is good with fresh cakes baked daily and are served by the slice.
  6. The food was really good the bbq was good so was the smoked turkey plate I liked the greens and the mac&cheese.
  7. The sauce is amazing, perfectly spicy, the menu mainstay is Beef which is how we do it in KC, and if you hadn't heard KC knows BBQ!
  8. have lived in the Sandy Springs area for 6 years and after my bad experiences with other BBQ restaurants in GA, and the fact that most of the time the ribs are all fat, dry and a total waste of my time, not to mention that the wings are usually dried ou
  9. Food was ok (greens could use a little more seasoning than just turkey meat), nice atmosphere for mingling and dinner.
  10. Please, please if you are going to advertise big event please be specific about what kind food menu will be given ( after all KC is a restuarant and not a club).
  11. Its big (but still intimate), full of the latest technology (love the buttons you can push to get a server, manager, etc. to the table), and the food is ummmmm, not that hot.
  12. 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.
  13. The entire menu is delicious, from the drinks at the bar, our onion ring appeitzer, to the ribs and chicken.
  14. Well, finally, this is the place to eat a good home cooked meal with the best pork ribs.

  16. They have some fried fish too that's pretty good.
  17. The ribs and sliced pork sandwich are my favorite.
  18. also liked the baked beans.
  19. Good food and I like the sides.
  20. The ribs are dry rubbed with some tasty seasoning, The ribs are not tender as I like it but the sauce and the rub really makes up for the flaws.
  21. I've been to over a dozen BBQ joints in Atlanta, as well as a dozen BBQ joints in Texas and KC Pit hands down has the best BBQ sauce I ever tasted.
  22. But the food - the food was mediocre BBQ at best.
  23. Better than pulled pork for the texture, and the spicy sauce was good.
  24. would recommend that to those who dont favor pork.
  25. As this was the first time, our server recommended the KC Plate that allowed us to sample the ribs and other meats.
  26. My husband is from Kansas City and a big fan of Arthur Bryants - he is hard to please when it comes to bbq.
  27. like this place for it's family meals, we always get a great value for the money and like 4 choices of meats with the family meal!

  37. My ribs were very tasty but not right off the grill and the sides could have been nuked just a little longer.
  38. know I've had a hard time trying to find great bbq in atlanta, in georgia period.
  39. love the food at KC Pit, I really enjoy the way they add the live music to the dining experience.

KC Pit BBQ

by m7999m

Had a graduation party there and the hostess told the remaining guests that were coming that the graduation party was a NO SHOW! This was a great disappointment as my guest had travelled far to celebrate!!! Call the manager and she offered a $10 gift certificate with a heartless apology!!! Wouldn't do another large gathering there!!! Waitress was not very attentive, only when it was time to tip!

  • Pros: Food was good
  • Cons: Customer Service--not good

Give It A Try!

by jjames1

My fiancee and I have been looking for a GOOD restaurant for awhile now. KC Pit BBQ came highly recommended by several different people. We decided to give it a try. He ordered a ribs and wing combo plate and I ordered grilled salmon. I was surprised by how great the food looked wihen it came to the table. Nothing like I'd ever seen at a BBQ place. More like something you would expect to see at a high class spot. My salmon was served over rice with a lemon twisted on top. If I didn't know better I'd say the plate was china. The ribs and wings looked mouth watering and very big and meaty. My fiancee was wolfing down the food so fast I hardly got to taste a bite of the ribs. Um Um Good! Our server was also great and the restaurant was really nice. I'll be back on All You Can Eat Rib Night!

  • Pros: Ribs are best in Atlanta
  • Cons: Live Music/Band

Raving reviews diminishing

by tigeress

Food was ok (greens could use a little more seasoning than just turkey meat), nice atmosphere for mingling and dinner. Jazz band was good but service could use a boost to catch up to atmosphere. If I give it another try, it will most likely be take-out.

  • Pros: Good atmosphere
  • Cons: Poor service

Nice atmosphere, Terrible Ribs

by prudencesnipple

My ribs could have broke my teeth. They were very tough and tasteless. The sides were pretty bad too. Greens were tough and the sweets were very watery. Will not return

  • Pros: Very nice inside
  • Cons: Food was awful
4 Star Rating: Recommended

Best ribs and sides in ATL

by AtlBornNRaised

Only been once to new location, shortly after they moved. They didn't have a liquor license at that time for whatever reason, and the change in decor and atmosphere was a little shocking. Still had fun with some good entertainment and great food. The ribs are AMAZING, and so are the sides. Mac and cheese, collards (when available), fries, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans- it's all good. Always get pick-up orders for big games and fights and all of my guests LOVE it. Also- try the lamb ribs some time. They are very tasty and a nice change of pace from the usual Q.

  • Pros: Great food
  • Cons: Not a lot
