The Pit

Awesome awesome spot! Great people such friendliness and positivity wow and the food was top notch. Need to eat? Hit The Pit!

Great quality meat, good food, very friendly and helpful team working there.
This is a good place for "fast food" that is high quality and not just junk

Best of the best. The food is amazing and the service is top notch. The owner is so awesome and always spoils my boys with extras! You won't be disappointed.

The customer service was great, same with the food. But the fries were a little too cooked, had a hard time chewing them. And as for the pulled pork, a bread recommendation, try serving it on Texas toast, it adds nice flavor. Great place to stop and eat some nice, filling food.

Food portions are great. They meat and even the poutin is gluten free. The prices are good for what you get for food. The environment and staff are wonderful.

Gluten Free options. Amazing food. Superb customer service. The person that took our order and the owner, absolutely amazing! Will be back next time we are in town. Go Riders Go

Great people. The food was delicious. The fries were so good that I ate most of them without any condiments, but do try the malt vinegar. I will definitely go again.

Wonderful Brisket sandwich.
Servers found a solution for my celiac limitations.
Gluten free bun actually tastes like a bun and not a sponge.

I was going to say one of the best restaurants in Olds… but I’d be lying! The absolute best! I can’t stress enough that if you haven’t eaten here, be kind to yourself, GO! ️️️️️️️️️️ because it wasn’t an option!

Wow - what a great BBQ place! We were working with a local client and we were told that this was THE place for meat …. Boy were they right! (Shout out to the two Michelle’s and Ris!)

First off - the service level was amazing. What wonderful people here! Attentive without being invasive, prompt to bring everything out and some quick quality checks mid-meal.

Kevin was super personable and was available to chat about the product in a friendly and (extremely) knowledgeable way.

The food - oh the FOOD - it was WICKED. I had the Brisket sandwich and couldn’t have hoped for better. Lots of places smother their meat in sauce, and all you end up tasting is the sauce - but not at the Pit.
The AAA Brisket is definitely the star here! It had enough sauce that it added flavour to the meat - but not so much that I couldn’t taste the actual work that went into the BBQ itself - truly a great balance of smoke, carmalization, AAA meat (he ONLY uses premium AAA by the way) and sauce. (Honourable mention to the bun and slaw too).
I also upgraded my hand cut fries to a poutine - and was not disappointed! Great, fresh, hand cut fries, excellent gravy and of course - proper curds for the win!
Great portion for the money and an excellent compliment to the sandwich. (I think I’ll try a meat poutine and sample one of the local craft beers they stock next time too!)

All in all, I’m excited for the opportunity to return next time I’m in town - the ambiance, food, and people here are a winning combination, and I’d not only strongly recommend going if you’re in Olds - I’d even recommend taking the 9 minute detour off of Highway 2 (literally - it’s 7.6km from the highway to The Pit) next time you’re driving the 2….

So so good. I thought about it all afternoon after trying here for lunch AND I came back for supper!

Friendly, relaxing and don’t get me started on the great service and food! Taste even better with the amazing music playing in the background! You can tell the staff is treated great as they are always joking around and having fun! Highly recommend to just try… and get hooked! Thanks guys, keep up the amazing work

Not a bad BBQ place but it no longer serves cornbread, hence my lower rating. The meats are good and what I've come to expect from places like this in Alberta.

You have to stop in and eat at the Pit! Kevin and his staff are always so friendly and make the most amazing Brisket. It will make you stop in Olds every time!

Wow! This lunch was fantastic Delicious food and great service! Pulled pork was so full of flavor. Husband raved about the flavor of his Ruben sandwich, "best he's ever tasted". If looking for quick lunch or dinner.try this place!

Kevin behind the till is amazing and worth coming to just because of him. Will I be back and that is a yes. Food is good quality meats and tastes really good, love the smoke taste that they use. Decorated really nice inside and the rest of the staff are hard workers. Always getting the next food order ready. For being in Olds this should be the only stop on someone list of places to eat ar

Very good poutine, the large deluxe is good for 2-3 people. Brisket was probably the best I have ever had!
