“ Great food! We had pulled pork and brisket with several sides. The pulled pork was the best and the beans were great. The service was a new experience as I’m not sure there was a dedicated order taker and they may have been short staffed, but when the food is ready, they deliver with a big smile. Outdoor dining or takeout only. About half of the tables had shade. Absolutely the best BBQ in Fairhope right now. ”
“ I reached out to Pirate's Pit bbq via Facebook messenger to see about catering an associate holiday party. From the first interaction to the last, it was very prompt, pleasant, and informative. We ordered pulled pork, bone in chicken, ribs, mac and cheese, baked beans, and banana pudding cake. Everything, down to the bbq sauce was absolutely delicious. The banana pudding cake is the best dessert I've ever tasted. Very pleasant experience. Can't wait to do business with them again. ”

“ Pirates Pit BBQ has completely redefined what BBQ means to me. We're from Massachusetts, and after eating here, I can honestly say — BBQ might be ruined for us forever. That’s how good this place is. We stumbled across Pirates Pit during a trip to Alabama, and now we’re seriously considering booking another flight just to come back. The chicken was unreal — perfectly juicy, with crispy, flavorful skin that was cooked to absolute perfection. The seasoning nailed it: the right balance of sweet and savory, where every bite made you want to go back for more. It was clear a lot of care went into the food — this wasn’t just good BBQ, it was on a completely different level. If you're anywhere near Fairhope, drop everything and go. If you’re not — it's absolutely worth getting on a plane for. Pirates Pit BBQ isn’t just another BBQ spot — it’s the kind of meal that sticks with you long after you leave. Five stars aren't enough. ”
“ Best BBQ I have ever had. We had the Pirate Sampler which included some of everything. The meats were smoked to perfection and the side dishes were so yummy. Highly recommend! ”
“ You know it’s good as soon as you see tha mac n cheese. Usually I don’t buy a burger at a bbq place, but I had to try that HAYMAKER. Every thing we tried was top tier. We will definitely be back when we get a hankering for some bbq. ”
“ Seriously amazing BBQ. I will ALWAYS be excited to be able to support a local business. When we ate here we met the owner who told us that it’s a family based joint! It sounds like they are about to be expanding the restaurant a lot soon! For two pulled pork sandwich combos with cole slaw added it was 30 (drinks and side). You can’t beat that. The food was amazing! The BBQ sauce has a vinegary twang which is freaking delicious. I definitely recommend! ”
“ Super delicious!! The customer service was outstanding!! I ordered the big boy nachos, my sister in law ordered bama brisket and it was 10/10!!! Super good highly recommend! ”
