The Magnolia Pit - (Near Shreveport, LA)

5 /5 Adam Lemons: The people who gave the 2 star reviews.. they seem to be a tad too picky like my kids. The atmosphere is great, the food is 9.5 out of 10, and I was served quickly with a smile. The quantity of the portions was awesome for the price, especially in this economy. So if your reading this if you are looking for a place to eat when searching barbeque like inside, try this place. Their collard greens are fire and their meat fantastic.

4 /5 Alisha Shine: Tried something different for lunch today and truly enjoyed it. Large portions of food. Very friendly service from all the workers we encountered. They gave recommendations with it being our first time. They checked on us throughout our dining experience. Small, cozy restaurant setting. Food came out hot and seasoned well. Will definitely be back for the brisket sandwich & beignets.

4 /5 LaTorya Boyd: The food was great, and the options were plenty. We particularly liked the brisket and the ribs. The street corn and the collard greens stole the show for the sides. The customer service was beyond Wonderful- from the beginning to the end. My only recommendation is that they bring the food out hot- our food, (although the flavor was wonderful) was less than warm- Not sure if thats the standard or if it was just ours. But definitely willing to return again to give it another try! Certainly recommend- Give it a try!

5 /5 Buck Schott: Im a tough critic when it comes to BBQ, but The Magnolia Pit has left me speechless. This isnt just "good" BBQ, this is next-level. The brisket is, hands down, the best in the city. No contest. The smoke ring was beautiful, and the flavor from the bark was incredible. Its clear they put serious time and passion into their craft. Mine was a little fatty for my personal preference (I asked for extra lean but Im not sure if thats an option), but the flavor was so out-of-this-world good that it didnt even matter. And the SIDES! They are honestly the best. The potato salad is awesome and has a great spicy kick, and the coleslaw has a nice kick to it, too. The whole place has a super original atmosphere and vibe. I also really appreciated that they have bottled water as an option, which a lot of places dont. A quick heads-up: The area is a little sketchy (but for Shreveport, I think thats pretty par for the course). Also, the bathroom situation involves keys, so it must be outside the main restaurant. I didnt check it out, but dont let any of that deter you. The food is that good. This is my new #1 spot. 10/10, highly recommend!
